oop! thats should be >include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/whatever.php"; I corrected my last post.

If google_ads.inc is the only file you are including you could move it to the public_html folder to shorten the path or if your pages include a header like ><?php // add header include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/header.php"; // begin main content ?> You could set a variable to the full path/file name there and then just include the variable include ("$google_ads"); on the pages.

In the file admin/config.inc.php you wil see the section for your database info just fill in the info you wrote down when you created the database, user and password as in my above post. >/* database settings */ $GB_DB['dbName'] = 'yourCpanelName_databaseName'; // The name of your MySQL Database $GB_DB['host'] = 'localhost'; // The server your database is on. Localhost is usually correct $GB_DB['user'] = 'yourCpanelName_databaseUser'; // Your MySQL username $GB_DB['pass'] = 'yourDatabasePassword'; // Your MySQL password /* misc */

Me too, I even have portable Firefox on a usb stick to use at work

To install Lazarus guestbook log into your cpanel go to MySql Be sure that in MySql you 1 - created the database 2 - created a user 3 -added the user to the database (go back to MySql and find the Add user select the user and database, and then Add user to database) Then to connect to the database in a script use: host: localhost database: yourCpanelName_databaseName user: yourCpanelName_databaseUser password: mypassword * Note password is just as the password, do not add the CpanelName to it. write down the info. go to the Lazarus site to download the script unzip to a folder on your computer. edit the admin/config.inc.php file to add your database info upload the script to a folder on your site change the folder permissions as per the readme file and run the site/folder/install.php file select install. when done delete the install.pgp file. go to to site/folder and log into the admin panel with the user/pass you entered when you ran the install file. visit the style section to change colors. at the top of the style section you will see the php include code to embed the guestbook on a page on your site.

You will still need to edit the html code in any forum to customize it. SMF is the best free forum and can be upgraded in the admin panel quicky with a few mouse clicks.

You might think about using citybusinesname.com to eliminate and chance of a mix up.

For 1. you can use an email list script such as phplist (in fantastico) or Dadamail (mojo.skazat.com) You put a link on your site where visitors can sign up. They will have to click a link in an automatic email sent to their email address and then they are subscribed. Later they can go back to the link on your site and unsubscribe and resubscribe with a new address. You can log in to the admin panel to compose and send an email to the list, be sure to set the options to send in small batches, open a ticket to ask the limits, as we do not discuss them here. for 2. I do not understand, the list just send out not receives. Unless you mean a returned email to a no longer valid address, all you can do then is remove the address from your list.

Lazarus Guestbook has a setting in the admin panel to moderate postings. It cut out all spam for me.

Don't worry, once you see WHM, the Web Hosting Manager and use it a while you won't want to be with out it. There are videos on the totalchoicehosting help site and we are here. Post in the reseller forum when you need help.

Welcome to the forum, Amy

Thanks Paul

Welcome to the forum, missbrokensmile your links look interesting, will have to look them over.

Of course that's only for the domain holder, every one else gets faster access, at least that's the way it seems

Thanks Thomas, just upgraded by clicking "check for newer version"

If you do have an a slot open for a graphic card, most motherboards have a jumper to disable the on board video card. You don't say what the current computer is. When I went from a 90 meg PIII to a 2.8 gig with 768 meg of ram, Photoshop ran like it was on fire.

Thanks Thomas

SMF is a php forum that has been developed from scratch by the creators of YaBB. I think you will like it. The admin panel lets you update the forum script with a few mouse clicks.
