Q: How do I restrict access to my pages?
Follow these instructions
Q: I can't write to my public_html directory?
Most likely reason is, that you have reached your diskquota limit. Login to e.g. thinlinc.compute.dtu.dk using your UNIX username/password and type
immquota
Twice per day all users diskquota are checked and an email send to users who exceed their quota. Questions regarding quotas should be send to itsupport@imm.dtu.dk.
How do I check my quotas?
To see your current quota limit and usage you must log on to a UNIX server (e.g. thinlinc.compute.dtu.dk) and in a terminal window type the command:
immquota
If you have exceeded your quota, you will receive an email (this check is performed twice a day).
If you are connecting to the WWW2 server using samba (and mapping the share to a local drive) the used/available space on that drive reflects your usage and quota.
Problems with redirects from http://www.compute.dtu.dk/~xxxx/ABC to http://www2.compute.dtu.dk/~xxxx/ABC
If the folder/file on www2.compute.dtu.dk contains a capitalized letter the redirect will not work. This is because the redirect on sitecore is being lowercased. Either avoid using capitalized letters or place the following line:
CheckSpelling On
in . .htaccess file the folder, which holds the folder ABC (in this case: /www/home/xxxx/public_html/.htaccess). A side effect is that everything becomes case insensitive under http://www2.compute.dtu.dk/~xxxx.
A redirect like http://www.compute.dtu.dk/~xxxx/fil.pdf to http://www2.compute.dtu.dk/~xxxx/fil.pdf doesn't work
You get a "Page not found" generated by sitecore. This will not work. Since the upgrade of sitecore from version 4 to version 6 redirects which ends in a filename (like file.pdf, file.html, etc.) is no longer supported.
