Delivery Boy

SETUP

Set up a directory for Delivery Boy, let's call it deliveryboy.

In the example below, your web site's files are in the public_html directory. We'll create the deliveryboy inside of that. This shows what the full path to the directory might look like:

   /usr/www/users/foo/public_html/deliveryboy

If the url of your site is:

   http://www.yoursite.com/

then Delivery Boy would be found at:

   http://www.yoursite.com/deliveryboy/

This is where people will go to download the files. This is the public face of Delivery Boy.

We also need an Admin area, so create another directory, this time inside the deliveryboy directory, like so:

   /usr/www/users/foo/public_html/deliveryboy/admin

The admin area would be accessed by you, by going to:

   http://www.yoursite.com/deliveryboy/admin/

This is where you will go to upload and delete files.

[[ Add the other dirs, file, db, etc chmod 0777 on some, or cgi-wrap, etc... ]]

Currently Delivery Boy relies on the web server's built in security to restrict access to the admin directory. See more about this in the SECURITY section.
