[TinyOWS-users] How to point tinyows to an other config file ?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

My colleague sent me just yesterday the next trick, adopted from better known "Mapserver wrapper script"

Write the following script file and save it as tinyows_secure into the cgi-bin directory


#! /bin/sh
TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE=/usr/local/tinyows/secure.xml
export TINYOWS_CONFIG_FILE
/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/tinyows

Secured service should be found now from localhost/cgi-bin/tinyows_secure



I have not tested it myself yet.

Hi,

   I need to find a way to secure TinyOWS 'edition' in a very quick and 
easy way.  Here's what I thought :

   * have an other copy of "tinyows" cgi file pointing to an other 
config.xml (in which the layers are editable)
   * put it a web directory that requires a password to access (with 
.htaccess)

   That would be simple and enough for me.  Only thing that I need to 
figure out is how to change the path to the config file.  Any hint ?  I 
suppose it can be done when compiling but I'm not used to this stuff and 
don't know how to do it.

Many thanks,
