How to get Out Box working?
I have an INDY (hostname IRIS)running IRIX 6.5.22 with Apache 1.3.27
server installed at /var/sgi_apache.
When I open the IRIS Out Box from the INDY I can open my personal Web
page and see files I've put in the public folder etc.
When I open the IRIS server Web page from my networked Octane or PC I
see the Out Box page with my user Web page listed as well as the DEMO
Web page etc. However, when I click on the link for my personal Web
page I cannot get into the individual Web pages with the PUBLIC and
MISC folders.
This seems like a permissions problem. Can anyone tell me how to make
this work?

in your httpd.conf file (not sure where that is with sgi_apache),
make sure the following lines are not commented out:
UserDir public_html

The httpd.conf file should be in /var/sgi_apache/server/etc.
Make sure the server is turned on using chkconfig. Also, make sure that
in your home directory you have a public_html directory. If you're using
the default install, your public_html file will need o+rx permissions,
since the server runs as the user 'nobody'.
There is also some information in the sgi_apache release notes and in
the man pages located at /var/sgi_apache/server/man.

So far, none of these has allowed access. Any other ideas?

For me at least, the outbox pages are served by the server in
/var/sgi_apache/httpd-outbox/ rather than the one in
/var/sgi_apache/server/
Is there anything useful noted in the log files in
/var/sgi_apache/httpd-outbox/var/log?
There is sometimes some confusion because of the cgi-bin/wrap/ that gets
thrown around your username.
Assuming your hostname is iris on the some.where domain, and your user
name is mark, the following should return your outbox page:
http://iris.some.where/~mark/ which you say is fine.
If you go in via the home page:
http://iris.some.where/ the link to your page will be
http://iris.some.where/~mark/ and the Public directory off that will be
http://iris.some.where/cgi-bin/wrap/mark/Public/
Alternatively, you could ask for:
http://iris.some.where/~mark/Public/
I have found in the past that the URL above works fine, but the one with
the cgi-bin/wrap does not. Never bothered to understand why not, as I
very seldom have anyone grab anything from my web pages, and when I do I
always give them a specific URL to follow.
Hope that is of some use.

Yes, this direct method worked so my PC can see
http://iris.some.where/~mark/Public/. I do not understand why the
links to the page are dead. In addition, I still cannot open Site
Manager for my user "mark"
