deleting unnecessary content

[iGuest 3]

can i delete the _private folder and the cgi-bin folder? i don't use cgi yet.

I think you should just leave it there. Surely its not that annoying and if you're using it in the future recreating it would be trouble . . . so . . .You can probably but I wouldn't go to the trouble.

And it can't be because you need the space...surely!

i just edited this line in .htaccess , so they don't show on the main index

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti* *cgi-bin* *_private*

that was the only thing, i didn't like them showing until my friend and i post our index file. it's easier for us to test our page out if there is not an index file there.

But you could just as easily do the tests in a subdomain?

i don't understand that. those folders are an annoyance when not needed. sometimes i accidentally click the wrong thing. testing is easier when only pertinent things are showing. the subdomain could map to a directory i suppose and then move everything outside of the directory when testing is complete. i found editing the .htaccess as an easier workaround. i hope it helps someone else who is tedious as i. hehehe
