    I want to use philex for personal using (_UseMultiusers=0) but i have to protect my philex with password ?
    There is a tip for that; you set _UseMultiusers to true or 1 and choose simple authentication, after go to "/auth/simple/data.txt" and put your usename pwd there
    example: username|098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6|/home/test where password is crypted with md5 (you can crypt with md5.php?pass=your_password)

    Can I send or download many files if I haven't got gzlib ?
    Noo noo you must have gzlib installed on your system if you want to download or send multiple files, but you can't include directories coz at this time I dont know how to compress an entire directory :-P ... sorry

    Why i can't upload files over 2 MB ?
    By default the maximum upload size it set to 2 MB in php.ini. you have to change "upload_max_filesize = 2M"

    Why i can't access to directories or delete,rename,move ... files ?
    if you are running apache under linux/unix, apache runs as user "nobody" for repair this problem you must modify httpd.conf to have permession for philex
    ------- httpd.conf ---------
    # If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
    # httpd as root initially and it will switch.
    
    # User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
    #  On SCO (ODT 3) use User nouser and Group nogroup
    
    User superuser  # here you set your username or root
    Group #11100    # the group of user (under *ix)
    ------- httpd.conf ---------

    What is remote uploading ?
    This allow you to transfer files from remote servers to your own server via HTTP or FTP protocols, just add URLs separate with CR/LF
    Ex :
  • http://www.zkara.net/music/cheb mami - Desert Rose (Club Mix).mp3
  • ftp://anonymous:anonymous@ftp.sf.net/public/welcome.txt


  • Files will be uploaded on the current folder

    How does the search engine work ?
    since the 0.2.3 released, philex has a new search engine, that mean as usual searching as on windows or linux,
    You have only to put the wildcard (*.php,*.jp?g, *.*, program* ...)
    Note:upper and lower are sensive case ( *.PHP not equal *.php)
