*Web
sites with this feature are equipped with access to Miva
Engine from Miva Corporation.
We run the Miva Empresa edition of Miva Engine, which is
specifically designed for hosting services and enterprises. The
product implements Miva Script, an XML based scripting language
which lets you activate your web pages with database, commerce,
and dynamic logic.
Following is some basic information on how to take advantage of
Miva on your web site:
- Miva Script files have a .mv extension. When the web server
sees the .mv extention it will automatically run Miva Empresa
and interpret your Miva Script documents.
- Place your Miva Script documents in your web publishing
directory and access them in the same way as your HTML
documents.
- Data files are in a special directory called "mivadata"
which is in your home directory. Whenever you access database
or other data files in your Miva Script application, the
mivadata directory is used as the root directory for the data
files. For example, a reference to a file called /mydata.dbf
inside of a Miva Script will be translated to /mivadata/mydata.dbf
when executed. This seperation of script files and data files
is essential for your web site security by keeping data files
out of the path of the web server.
- Complete free documentation
is available directly from Miva Corp.
- Free users group
support is available directly from Miva Corp. via a list
server. They have full time staff members who monitor the list
server and make sure that all questions get answered.
- Microsoft Windows 95/98 users can download
a free personal developers edition of the Miva Engine called
Miva Mia.
- You must request that Miva be enabled for your site.
