Ok I did find something on the reverse DNS see this post on reverse DNS So it appears it is active.

Hi Mike Welcome I know what you mean, too good to be true, thats what I thought a year ago. But it is very true, and it just gets better and better. As to AOL, not letting you use your sever to send, you can just clone your e-mail settings and change the return Addy to your site, and send through AOL as though it came from your server. I can't answer about the reverse DNS, but I am sure staff will be along soon and can. As to the unlimited, as long as you do not go over your space or bandwidth, add all you want. And yes a few mouse clicks in your cpanel will install guestbook and forums. You will find a lot of talented and helpful family members here, all willing to help out. If you have any questions just ask. I know you will love it here because Rock Sign

IE is not the easiest way to connect. It does not always connect. A simple free ftp program would be the best way, using the configuration above.

First Michael, Welcome to the family if you look at this post about MySql and Dreamweaver MX which resulted in this is a tutorial on Dreamweaver MX / Remote MySQL Connection on the help site, by Tracy, one of our family members. You may find some help.

Not sure Thomas, I will try the update on a new guestbook monday, and let you know if I get the same thing.

You might try to reinstall. If the dtabase is new, I would delete the database first then re-install.

You can create an ftp account in cpanel create it using the desired folder_name and password This will create the folder ftp access is ftp address: ftp.yoursite.com login name: folder_name@yoursite.com password: password no remote folder needed. You can then also in cpanel create a sub-domain by the same name if desired.

Squirrel Mail has options such as Show HTML Version by Default: Yes No Display Attached Images with Message: Yes but as you say, this will alert spammrs that the address is good, and may not be worth it. I never look at email while working online, in outlook, I click work offline first, then look, and delete spam before working online.

LOL, Rob, I'm still looking for PHP-Nuke LunarMagic, if I follow the link and remove the s on forums I get redirected to www.redajah.org/forum/install/install.php but with the message The requested URL /forum/install/install.php was not found on this server. so there is something at www.redajah.org/forum/

Look under cgi scripts > bulletin board and tell her she may have installed in /forum not /forums

Yes the glish.com/css is the best, and may be what you are looking for, and the tutorial links are great too. Including glassdog.com they have a whole site full of info on many aspects of web design Thumbs Up

Lance, I know how you feel, I was too was with a less than great host. So I was cautious, when I came here. It just looked too good to be true. But it is, just what it looks like, the best host you will ever find! And the family atmosphere here is real. We all love this place and want to help our fellow family members. There is such a great wealth of experience here to draw on. The family feeling is further enhanced because many of the staff started as customers and still are. I hope you will give this place a chance, you will not be sorry. But you will have to learn to use the Rock Sign sign

Are you using a software firewall? had something like that, my pages displayed then froze for a long time, even pages on my hard drive, it turned out to be my firewall program, re-installed and it was fine. If you have a firewall program, dissable it to see if that it.

Great you can also add height="100%" to the table to force the footer to the bottom of the screen for short pages. As to the to column template the link above to devshed does a very good job of showing how to make that type of template from a table but for the same thing with just css try www.glish.com/css/ this can be adapted to php includes just as easy as the table method but the css float command may not render properly in all browsers.

I just tried with a sub I made a week ago, and it works. But older ones do not. Very Cool Thumbs Up

The first program I install on a new computer is Total Commander Two file windows side by side Multiple language support Enhanced search function Compare files / synchronize directories Quick View panel with bitmap display ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE archive handling + plugins Built-in FTP client with FXP (server to server) and HTTP proxy support Parallel port link, multi-rename tool New: Tabbed interface, regular expressions, history+favorites buttons And many more! (and it slices and dices too Naughty ) www.ghisler.com zip files are just like going into a another folder when you click on them. It's $30.

Have you tried admin>board settings>cookies set a Cookie Domain Hint: use .your-domain.com for global cookies

What are you using to edit the php text files with? Your php include files look like you are pasting text into a prgram that is just displaying the code as text.

blunted, When you sign up here you will get an IP address in your welcome e-mail to use to upload your site to your server here. Then when you are happy your site here is working, goto your domain name registar and change the name servers to the ones in your welcome e-mail It will take up to 72 hours for all ISP's to update their name servers, so all can see your site here.

I am finding hotlink protection does not always work right. Sometimes I have to disable and later re enable because of the same problem. I keep a text file of the authorized links to paste back in.

There is a nice article writter by Peter Levin www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/The_Modular_Web_Page/ that shows how to take a template like yours and convert it to php modules. It works vey well!

Hi Mark, you are most welcome, and also Welcome to the family and your new home. hope you will be a regular here. if you need anything, just ask.

Also do not create an e-mail account for the name, just forward it to :balckhole:
