Interactive Net Server v7.0.454.5 Lines: 69 My concern is I'm more of an ISP so it would be easier to dump all the games and other files that aren't being used any longer. Basically signal anything that is non WINS and if it is confirm versions against aup to make sure there aren't any dups or version mismatches. I suppose I could do a clean reinstall to another machine and compare dirs but that could be time consuming. wrote in message news:1038409286.33.1038329799@winserver.com... > I think it would be useful to provide custom paths for things such as: > > + Logs (activity.*, *.log) > + WCX (*.wcx) > > The following suggestion would require sysops to rewrite/modify batch files; > however for those of us who would like to clean up our installation > directory much easier, maybe offering a way to set these paths if we wish to > use them for seperate directories; otherwise default them to the standard > \wc5 directory. > > + Executables (*.exe, *.hlp, *.cnt, *.chm) put in \wc5\bin > + Library Files (*.dll) put in \wc5\lib I agree. Perhaps even protected dirs for Wins so nothing but Wins can be put in them.

I agree. I would LOVE to see host header support built in. Pushing this issue even further when a user FTP's into the system they would be in there virtual web server directory were they can manage their domain. Right now i'm using IIS and WARTFPD to do this. Also wouldn't mind seeing some type of load balancing so we can specify which domains are servered of each computer. Example Computer 1. Main Server Computer 2. Business Web Pages. (www.theirdomain.com) Computer 3. Personal Web Pages. (userpages.mydomain.com/customer) Computer 4. Radius / SMTP / POP3 Etc... Also ability to go into maintenance mode were ALL pages/domains would say down for maintenance try again later. And release the lock on files so they could be backed up. And while on the subject of maintenance mode perhaps a standalone wcSMTP that would accept mail for ALL domain while the system was in maintenance mode and forward when it was back up. > But I'm sure that over time Hector's going to continue to move us in the > right direction in order to keep Wildcat! on top :-) I'm sure he will. Things have come a long way but there is still allot more to be done.
