Here’s the scoop!

Ok.. Now that I've fixed the problem I can tell you what the problem with the private journal was. Basically if you went to the search function and searched for... ummmm.. I don't know... maybe LISA! It would bring up all the entries with Lisa in them. That's all great and everything but it would also bring up all the entries with Lisa in them from all the other blogs hosted on my Linux box. This includes the private journal. What sucked was that the search function includes the first 40 words of any entry found. So you could read half the entry. I initially tried to fix this with .htaccess files. I found that you could also from a browser enter the archive directory and if you knew the file name could still get to any entry you'd like. With the .htaccess I was able to fix that problem but the search function works at a system level accessing the files as user apache rather than accessing it via the apache service. So since it wasn't going though the service the user was able to see these files and return results. Through some cgi work I was able to stop the search function from initially returning private entries but I found if after a search you pressed search a second time it would return a different set of results to include your private entries. Once again back into the ole VI editor and some cgi stuff and now all should be OK... if you want to try it out yourself do a search on "security". There is an entry in the private journal called "Security Test" with text of "This is a security test...." Lemme know if you can see it...
