I'm working on a mini-micro CMS that amounts to
a semi-automatic page-generation system that allows
authorized users to manipulate an administrative menu.
Once installed, the system is remarkably easy to use,
even for non-html jokies.
Installation is always a bit of adventure.
On linux, mysql is usually but not always available.
If mysql is available, a config file can be edited with a form.
The user might need help from a sys-admin to get the
db-user-name and password.
If mysql is not available (if I could figure out a way to dynamically
test for that) I could fall back on a form that sets up .htaccess and
..htpasswd, so an admin user can gain access to the admin forms.
But htpasswd etc, is only available (isn't this correct?) if the right
stuff has been pre-set in /etc/httpd.conf
If that isn't available, then my installation for dummies goal
has hit a brick wall. What third-tier authorization tricks could
my system try to fall back on, if and only if mysql and .htaccess
has already failed (for the unsophisticated installer).
