Thanks for your advice. I did straighten htmlInterfaces.root.newsStoryDG.#prefs.defaultMembershipGroup and htmlInterfaces.root.newsStoryDG.edit.#members out.The real stumbling block was that I had put a #urls in [htmlInterfaces.root].logon to try to make it apply specifically to my discussion groups. This caused a problem when I followed Mike Mell's procedure reported in a Script Meridian Community list email titled "Re: membership woth mainResponder" sent 13 Sep 1999.
His good advice was to move a copy of [htmlInterfaces.root].logon into [htmlInterfaces.root].newsStoryDG and rename it public and to change the urls copied into [htmlInterfaces.root].newsStoryDG.#urls from config.
My mistake was not to remove the #urls that earlier I had copied into logon. So I had TWO #urls and the original took precedence over the modified ones at the top level of newsStoryDG.
Mike Mell's procedure as reported by Ken Dow follows: > Well, well well. Here is what I did to give myself and others secure access to a gdb in mainResponder.
> 1. copy [htmlInterfaces.root].logon to the top level of mySite. (by top level, I mean at the same level as mySite.#ftpSite)
> 2. rename mySite.logon to "public" // the magic name
> 3. copied [config.root].mainResponder.urls to the top level of my site.
> 4. renamed urls to #urls
> 5. adjusted all the urls paths to "http://mydomain.com/mySite/public" except for memberHome which became "http://mydomain.com/mySite/" // left off "public"
> 6. rebuilt the public.#glossary deleted public.#ftpSite
> 7. added mySite.#members (string) == "mySite" to the top level of the site
> 8. duplicated [members.root].default
> 9. renamed [members.root].default #1 to "mySite"
> 10. edited [members.root].mySite: [members.root].mySite.mailTemplate to contain the url of the site home page
[members.root].mySite.cookieName == "mySite"
[members.root].mySite.mailReturnAddress == mike@nthwave.net
> I believe these are the complete and precise steps required for this will work for anyone.
> Next, I want to provide access for four know people:
> 1. I went to the sign up page http://myDomain.com/mySite/public/signup
> 2. entered their email address. Repeat for each one
> 3. set [members.root].mySite.openToPublic to false. No more new sign ups are allowed.
> Hope that helps someone. --Mike
