Tokyo Promenade 2

Found that promenade.css is not really working. maybe, it was because it's installed under /usr/lib/cgi-bin. reinstalled under /var/www1/blog. it works better. but, now i realize passwd.txt is exposed Changed the directory of passwd.txt and reflected it on promenade.tmpl. Following the manual gave me errors in writing to the database. i changed the ownership of all the files in promenade to www-data, and it worked.

OK, it works. But, where are the data? It's in promenade.tct, i guess. It's a Tokyo Cabinet database. How can i access it? Hmm, need to learn more on the database handling. Because my interest right now is to use the database, what i need may be Tokyo Tyrant, which gives me access to Tokyo Cabinet databases.

Checking emits a lot of lines on the terminal screen, and takes some time. Feel even meticulous, but it's probably a good engineering practice to make sure everything works as it should. Need a coffee break After probably thousans of lines, got
