60    <h2>Using script path as realm name</h2>
61    
62    <p>If you don't have ability to use http_virtual_host names for each docman
63    installation, you can use path before docman.php as a identifier for a realm.
64    To enable this, you will have to create directory named as same as virtual
65    host, all directories wish exist before your <tt>docman.php</tt> and then
66    <tt>conf</tt>, <tt>htusers</tt> and optionally <tt>trustee</tt> and
67    <tt>info.inc</tt> files.
68    <blockquote>
69            e.g.: if your host is called <tt>dreamhouse.lan</tt> and
70            you want to have repositories on URL
71            <tt>http://dreamhouse.lan/project/</tt> and
72            <tt>http://dreamhouse.lan/documentation/</tt> you will
73            have to create following files: <small>(those marked with asterisk
74            <sup>*</sup> are optional)</small>

89    <p>If you followed <a href="install.html">installation instructions</a>
90    and you want now to install docman to your host in directory <tt>projects</tt>
91    which will be on disk at <tt>/home/httpd/htdocs/project/</tt> and
92    served via URL <tt>http://my.host/project/</tt>
93    you have to do few more steps:
94    <pre>
95            $ cd /home/httpd/docman2/realm/
96            $ mkdir my.host
97            $ mkdir my.host/project
98            $ mv http_virtual_host.htusers my.host/project/htusers
99            $ mv http_virtual_host.conf my.host/project/conf

101    That's it. You are ready to go...

105    <h2>Repository information files</h2>
106    
107    <p>There are special files, called <tt>info.inc</tt> files with informations
108    which are local to that repository. Usually they are located in
109    <tt>repository/.info.inc</tt> file. However, you can also use
110    <tt>realm/http_host/script_path/info.inc</tt> file is you are
111    using <a href="#path_realm">script path</a> as realm identifier.

114    <h2>Overview of security fetures</h2>

116    <ul>
117    <li>authorisation using login and password
118    <li>works without <A href="#register_globals">register_globals</a> in PHP.
119    <li>all directory names taken from URL will be checked for parent directory
120    strings (<tt>..</tt>)
121    <li>all upload filenames are check for directory specification (if they
122    contain slash (<tt>/</tt>) upload will be aborted)
123    <li>all filenames taken from URL will be checked for parent directory (<tt>..</tt>) or slashes (<tt>/</tt>)
124    <li>all files are serverd from repository directory (which is not visible by web server) by <tt>docman.php</tt> script which enforces permission checking
