This page describes the DirList demo environment.
Web-based demo
- The search page will let you search the DirList index on this server
- Note that this page can be customized to whatever is needed; it's a HTML file. The one on this server is a very simple example
- Try searching for "ste" or "Steven" to get my record
- Anyone can edit the data in this server's DirList index (see below), so please do not count on the accuracy of the search results
- Because anyone can edit the data, junk data will likely exist. Please do not take offense at whatever the Internet at large put into there
Access and ODBC-based demo
To try out DirList, follow these instructions:
- Download the DirList2ODBC package and install both the ODBC driver and the Access database as an Administrative user
- If there ever is a future version, it will let you set up ODBC as a regular, restricted user instead of requiring administrative access. It will also use standard MSI installer instead of my old Win16 CatSetup installer
- Set up a DSN named "users" (without the quotes) with the following settings:
- Data Source Name: users
- Index: users
- Default Login: Admin
- Not "Administrator"
- Default Password: admin
- Server: www.moonlightdesign.org
- Port: 80
- Path: /cgi-bin/dirlist2.cgi
- Use CHAR for all text-based data: Checked
- Length of CHAR data: 255
- Open and use the Access database in c:\dirlist2
