Sorry I do not have a router, but I am guessing that trying to connect to the IP address supplied in your welcome e-mail does not work? You need to open a help ticket to support, see the link at the top of this page.

But this is a good thing. It used to be a hacker trying to access your cpanel would already know your cpanel name and only had to guess the password. If you have trouble remembering it, you can use a password keeper. there is one under freebies in the help site.

cpanelname is your cpanel user name

Great! Glad it works, I am adding this to my notes on IPB The tutorial Invision Power Board Hosting Modification Help!, learn how to control your forums! has been updated. Thanks for all who helped.

Tracy the IP http://64.246.56.60/~tsmith/ does not work, are you sure that is the ip? --------- that is the IP for server 27

You are welcome I hope that means you have the menu includes working. If so you can now insert snippets of php code just like you do for java script. Such as inserting copyright© <?php echo date("Y") ?> to display copyright© 2004 and the year will always be updated.

( turtle waves hi to Jim )

Ok if you can add the line AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html .shtml to your .htaccess file by using cpanels file manager to edit it and insert the line anywhere or however you like to edit a file on your site. Then save that menu on your site as menu.php and replace the java script menu in your html pages with <?php include('menu.php'); ?> and then all you have to do in the future to add a new page is edite the menu and upload it. if you need help with file manager let me know.

My check list for allowing fourm uploads for IPB Board settings > Security and Privacy > Allow images to be posted? YES forum control, edit permissions for each forum, allow upload checked. users and groups > manage user groups > edit group, Max upload file size (in KB)= reasonable size (disable this groups upload by entering 0 into this field. This will turn off the mutli-part form the uploads use. ) (default is 0, I use 100 ) users and groups > manage user groups > edit forum access, allow upload for each forum. with ftp, Folder Uploads permissions set to 777

Another way is to include the menu on each page, so you just change the menu in one place. This could be using php to include the menu or javascript src="menu.txt" with menu.txt html wrapped in Document Writes the php includes are easier and if you do not want to use the php extention, you can add AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html .shtml to your .htaccess file to use php in an html page. And then in your page just insert <?php include('menu.php'); ?> where you want the menu. Thats the basic idea.

Its Word Perfect office without the options and convenience

I got as far as Confirm Order for payment by check, but there is no address to mail to Every thing else looks good!

Here is what I did, and the admin works fine. To access your forum by IP address, including admin, copy conf_global.php from your forum folder to your computer. save on your computer twice once as conf_global.php and the second as conf_global.php_original in the conf_global.php replace http://www.domain.com/ with http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/~user/ get the ip from your welcome e-mail examples // line 27 // original version $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://www.domain.com/forum'; $INFO['board_url'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/~user/forum'; // line 68 // original version $INFO['html_url'] = 'http://www.domain.com/forum/html'; $INFO['html_url'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/~user/forum/html'; // line 130 // original version $INFO['upload_url'] = 'http://www.domain.com/forum/uploads'; $INFO['upload_url'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/~user/forum/uploads'; After propagation copy the conf_global.php_original back to your forum folder as conf_global.php

You do not say what server you are on, but you might try in cpanel to uninstall the frontpage extensions, then reinstall frontpage extensions. If that does not help please open a help desk ticket (link above).

Hi Bill, good for you! says a long time confirmed Word Perfect user Thumbs Up

Hi Kacey, yes you can continue to use your current registar by logging in at Godaddy and pointing to your name servers here as per your welcome e-mail. You manage your sub domains here using your cpanel to create them and nothing is done at your registar for sub domains The only thing is for a shared hosting account, you may not point another domain name to a sub domain. Hope to see you around and part of our family.

Its not a bad idea to download the entire folder that your forum is in so you have both the backup and can easily examine the files.

Thank you for the follow up and the examples. Thumbs Up As you say this will help some else, and the clear topic heading will make it very seachable.

Thank You for that info, Thumbs Up (adding that to my notes )

Tracy, I just tried to visit my forum as http://IP/~user/forum/ and while it will display, the links all point to the domain name. I tried http://IP/~user/forum/admin.php after login I see the domain name again. So it looks like I am no help here. Monday maybe I will try with a non existant domain account to see what I can find out.

Exxos and Kat, glad you are happy here. We all are also very happy here. Remember if you need help just ask your new family here.

You might also try http://www.domain.com:2082/ and if that does not work try control-F5 to force your browser to reload the default theme.

Yes and also with a resellers plan. If you have any questions, just ask, we are like family here.
