[mv] newbie: minimate security

******    message to minivend-users from "Alex Melkomukov" <amelkomukov@navi.net>     ******

hi all,

ok, i'm tearing my hair out here.  i have MiniVend 4.02 installed with
MiniMate 4.0.0.1 on BSDI 3.1 running Apache 1.3.9 and Perl 5.005_02.  the
installations went fine and MiniVend works fine.  i spent some time figuring
out that the owner needed to be added to the userdb before minimate would
work, but seems to work fine now.  minivend is installed in a user's local
directory and i am using ~/catalog.cgi/ instead of ~/cgi-bin/ to access the
minivend html pages.  i secured the catalogs directory, but every time i try
to secure the minivend directories following the instructions from
www.linuxia.net/minimate, i get completely locked out.  if somebody could
e-mail me off-list and share the specifics of securing the minimate
directories (including what my 'LocationMatch' string should be, which
directories to protect, where to create the .htaccess file, etc.) i would
really appreciate it.

thanks,

am
