  1. Thanks for the help everyone! I am in the process of trying the suggestions out. Tracy's page was particularly helpful!
  2. I am in the process of trying to learn PHP & MySQL. So far I have figured out how to create a MySQL database using the excellent Total Hosting tutorials. However, I just can't get Dreamweaver to connect to the database and show the tables and I can't figure out why! I have created a database called "user", which has been renamed "competi_user" as I created it through cpanel. I also created a user which is able to access the database called "competi" which was also renamed "competi_competi" as before. I then created a table called user and populated it with a couple of records. I then went to Dreamweaver and setup a site with a testing server. I don't have PHP or MySQL locally so I decided to use the webserver as the testing server. Server model: PHPMySQL Access: FTP FTP host: Mywebsite.com Login: MyLogin Password: MyPassword Testing this showed that the ftp link works. So far, so good. (Also setup local and remote stuff too.) I then go to the Application - Databases panel to try and create a connection from Dreamweaver to my testing server. Connection: MySQL Connection Connection name: dbUserConnection My SQL Server: localhost Username: competi_competi Password: the password Database: competi_user When I click test I get "Unknown error". Very helpful. I have tried changing the SQL server name to the webserver name but this makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? I am going mad trying to work it!!! Any help, tips, prompts and hand holding would be appreciated!
  3. Thanks for the reply, I guess it is the waiting game! Another odd thing is that my e-mail still works OK on the domain. To send anyway - not getting much in the way of replies! Would have thought with the domain being wrong that the mail would also go and try and find e-mail accounts at 0catch?! Or is the MX record right? I think I am rambling....!
  4. I have just switched my host from 0catch.com (Sunday 16 March). A move I am pleased to have done. I went to my domain registrar godaddy.com and updated the DNS entries as instructed in my welcome e-mail. After 27 hours my domain had "moved" and worked fine. Just as well because 0catch changed my account to a free version and it had dozens of ugly pop ups and inserted ads. I was happy! I then set-up my e-mail on the domain and it worked fine. As a test I then sent an e-mail to another e-mail address on the domain but it never arrived. I decided to check things out on cpanel and went to the address www.competitiveedgedesign.com/cpanel and guess what happened? I recieved a "file not found" error because I was sent to the OLD version of the site hosted at 0catch.com!!!??? I checked www.competitiveedgedesign.com and I went to index.html here at TCH. However, when I clicked any link on the page I was sent back to the 0catch version?!? I then refreshed the index.html page in my browser and it then switched to the 0catch version. It was as though I caught my site changing DNS from the new entry back to the old. Weird. I then went and checked godaddy.com and my DNS servers were fine. ping resolved the new ip address here at TCH. Checking the online DNS tools at TCH everything seemed fine too. All the entries were present and correct. However, my site is still appearing as the old 0catch.com version!!!! I assume that in the next 24 hours the DNS propogation "bug" will iron itself out. Fine. But does anyone have any idea why the site appeared to move hosts then revert back to the old host when the DNS entries are all OK???
  5. forumnic: KevCraighead Plan: Simple Reseller The thing is, I have no idea if I have an reseller account setup or not. I applied on the 13th but have had no response, welcome e-mail or any details about since. I did put in pay CC details to pay for it. You may have e-mailed me on my e-mail address that I entered when I applied BUT my old host kindly downgraded my account and deleted my e-mail accounts on my domain competitiveedgedesign.com so if you did, I won't get it. So if you could: 1. Tell me if I have an account 2. If I have, send me a welcome e-mail to kevin_craighead@hotmail.com 3. Remove me from the waiting list I have e-mailed you about this issue 3 times so a quick response would be appreciated! Otherwise I am in the queue like everyone else! Cheers.
