Basic Mission 11

[TacksS]

So I've been reading through this forum and slowly figuring out certain things (e.g. .h*******, which was hidden in the stomach of a certain someone, analyzed that item, then found the large intestine that informed me to buy a magnifying glass, I understand the double entendre, but have been unsuccessful in locating the mailbox to insert my envelope that I see everyone talking about.) Thoughts? I spent my Friday trying to figure it out. I'd prefer not to spend my whole Saturday, as well. I'm missing something and I can't figure out what it is. It's really irking me. Any metaphorical hints?

Edit: I apologize if those metaphors aren't vague enough. Please censor if they aren't.

This made me lol! Alright, I'm not sure really what else to add for hints besides maybe that just because you know about something doesn't mean it is the first thing you have to mess well. Also, take the hints you uncover in the mission literally.

Hmm. Ok. That made me think. Maybe my envelope wasn't meant for the mailbox. So, I remembered back to the large intestine and how he said the weather was windy before he told me to buy a magnifying glass. So then I went to Windy's, in and on top of Mr. intestine, and no one was there. Then I thought, "Well, he told me to buy a magnifying glass. Maybe a wizard cast a spell of invisibility." So I even went to the invisible Windy's, in and on top of it, and no one was there either. Frustration besets me.

Again, if a spoiler, my apologies. Please censor.

I guess you could say that a wizard did cast a spell of invisibility, but did so on the mailbox. Think simply, and remember that in this challenge, you're attempting to best Sam's understanding of Apache. The majority of servers, Apache included, can be configured to issue any file as a site's index page. With that in mind, try starting your search for the mailbox from the very start of the driveway.

Hi all. I've finished the mission, but I'm just wondering, how does the first page change without any code?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, this one is the most difficult. Just remember that Google is your friend, and google can find 'specific' pages. Hope I'm not spoiling. read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html

After a couple hrs, got it, not that difficult. ABC clue helped, but even after completing the mission im not rly sure that many ppl would get anything out of the "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me" bc it didnt help me. I just got it from common sense and the ability to read after i got to the file. And i think the link above is sorta a minor spoiler.

hi
i have been on again-off again with this mission for so long i'm embarrassed to say...i'm going to try my best not to spoil...i know how to get to where i have to enter the password...i followed the directories up to where you have to add you-know-what to get to the page with the indexignore command. i know i have to do SOMETHING with the [filenamehere].* bit of info but what?! i've researched the command itself, pretty sure i understand how why and when it's used, but i am at a complete loss as to how i should apply that knowledge here, especially considering that all access has to be gained using the url....please edit/let me know if i've disclosed too much...thanks in advance for your feedback and help
peace and blessings
