<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black">thanks for the answers. Regarding the html templates: I thought that html files are kept in htdocs since this is the DocumentRoot
from where apache is configured to read files from. So if I don't need to keep files in htdcos where else can I put them and how can apache understand where they are put.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">[] The mapfiles need to be in the APACHE service path someplace, but the HTML templates do not, they are read by the Mapfiles . You specify their location inside of the Mapfile.
I usually put them right next to the MAPFILES, but they can be hidden to apache by permissions, or even put somewhere else entirely.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black">First of all I am keeping all my HTML template files /usr/local/apache2/htdocs. This folder has read-only permission
settings by default so every time I want to edit/create a template I use nano or pico through terminal with root privileges. So, would it be wise (would it be secure?) to make htdocs folder have read/write permission and if not what other way is there so I
can edit/make template files easily? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";color:black">Another question is that when I make my mapfile and set STATUS to default everything works fine. But when it's set to on I get a
blank page (needless to mention about STATUS off). That's not normal right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
