124 Cobalt RaQ XTR User Manual
• Enable common gateway interface (CGI) scripts—You can enable this
virtual site and all the site users to have CGI-based dynamic Web content on
the RaQ XTR.
CGI allows a user to have a Web site run programs that dynamically generate
hypertext markup language (HTML) pages in response to specific user
inputs. CGI scripts can be created on a user’s desktop computer and then
transferred to the RaQ XTR with a file transfer protocol (FTP) application.
• Enable Server Side Includes—The RaQ XTR can correctly display
server-parsed Web pages (.shtml).
FrontPage Server Extensions
When you enable FrontPage Server Extensions on a virtual site, a FrontPage
client webmaster account is created and you must provide a password for the
webmaster account.
If FrontPage Server Extensions are enabled on a virtual site, the “Site Settings”
table (Site Management > Site Settings > General) shows a check box
indicating that the feature is enabled. If you disable FrontPage Server Extensions
on a virtual site and save the changes, the “Site Settings” table refreshes to show
the feature as disabled and a webmaster password field is now displayed in the
table. If you re-enable FrontPage Server Extensions on that virtual site, you must
provide a password again for the webmaster account.
If you do not enter a password after you enable FrontPage Server Extensions and
then try to save changes, the UI will not accept the changes. An error message
appears at the bottom of the screen informing you that you must enter a password
for the webmaster account.
✍
Note: The FrontPage user webmaster is a part of the FrontPage
Server Extension software and is not a true Linux site-user account.
As such, it does NOT have Web, email or FTP service. It is simply
an account to use in the FrontPage client.
