Thomas, That link provided some interesting info. Looks like one has to subscribe to some kind of SMS service to be able to impliment what I am talking about. I am still fuzzy on all of it and am looking into it some more. If anyone has any firsthand knowledge of companies that do this, please respond here or PM me. Thanks

Hi Don! Woof Woof, Meow, Meow! I changed to Port 26 but get the same error. Are all TCH sites being moved to new servers, or just the ones on Server 80? Maybe this has something to do with it?

I have a site on Server 27 and we can't send email through Outlook 2003 at the moment. Has this got anything to do with the migrations that are going on or is it something else? The error when testing the email is: Send Test Email Message: The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialogue, then click More Settings on the Advanced tab. Log Onto Incoming Mail Server (POP 3): The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialogue, then click More Settings on the Advanced tab. Email Info as configured in Outlook 2003 is: Username: emailaddress@domainname.com Password: email account password Incoming Mail Server (POP 3) mail.domainname.com (PORT: 110) Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) mail.domainname.com (PORT: 25) This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL): NOT CHECKED for either port Outgoing Server: My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: NOT CHECKED

My Dearest Thomas! Why on earth would I want to shoot such a helpful man as yourself? Thanks a million for that link. I shall be perusing the listings today. I didn't think such scripts were even out there!

Really not sure where to ask this... but here goes... I am planning a new site for myself and want to include a feature that allows fans to subscribe to my email newsletter, but also to enter in their Mobile number and Instant Messenger ID's to get Text messages. I am using Dada mail right now and that is great for emails, but I'd love to find something that allows me to send these messages via email, IM and Mobile network. Where would one find out about such a thing? An example of what I am looking for can be found here: http://urbangroove.com/contests/flyleaf/ The only thing they don't have that I would like is Instant Messenger input. Is there such an application or script that would allow me to facilitate this sort of thing? How do these instant SMS subscriptions work? Thanks

Bruce, I did a search but I guess I didn't put in the right terms. Note to self: learn how to search better. Hey Bruce, Santa never brought me a wireless enabled laptop. I thought I was a good girl this year.... but I guess not! LOL

Yeah I wasn't sure about this. Then when I found the info I figured it was a user upgrade and not a TCH issue. I got it all working last night. Had to do a LOT of updates! LOL

LOL Yeah, what can I say... my research skills have improved as I age! LOL

Hmm, nevermind. Looks like Jack posted about this in his fourm. Here is the link for anyone who needs instructions on how to update the loaders: http://www.surefirewebdesign.com/ufm/index...ct=ST&f=2&t=559

I'm wondering if TCH Servers need to be updated with the latest version of ionCube PHP Loader? I run Surefire's Form Mail Script on all my sites and today all of the forms are showing this error: The file /home/inmotio/public_html/contact/antispoof/seed.php has been encoded with the ionCube PHP Encoder and requires the free ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so ionCube PHP Loader to be installed. It looks like there is a new distribution of the loader. Should I send a note to tech support about this or is there something on my end that needs to be done? Thanks

Yeah, well I'll tell ya what... learning that the way I just did makes you NEVER forget that rule! LOL No more spaces for this girl!

Bill & Rob, Thank you so much for having your guys look into the issue with such scrutinty. The tech who performed the clean install and had success made myself and the program creator realize it was something to do with the Config settings I had set after the upgrade. It turns out that the root of the problem was that I had set the "Session Tag" value in the Jamroom Config set to "IMA Observatory". It appears that PHP sessions do NOT support session names with spaces in them (or it was too long). Brian changed it to "IMAO" and it is working again. He is going to get a check in Jamroom in place that will avoid a problem like this in the future. I think the corrupt database errors the tech guys found was from me restoring a MySQL database the other day. I was fiddling with many things to try to fix the issue and must have bungled something in the DB. At any rate, it is all fixed now. I am upgraded, which fixes the original issue with IE that prompted me to upgrade in the first place. I must say that this has been a worrysome and sleepless 3 days and I am just beat! I would not have been able to get to the bottom of this myself though and through all your guys efforts and the efforts of Brian over at Jamroom, disaster has been averted. Now, I want to get back to my REAL job which is singing and writing. I'm much better at that than all this tech stuff. I'm very thankful for you guys always helping me out with my tech blunders and questions. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Hey Jim! Yeah I just got a message from Tech support saying they were looking in to it. I also have the Jamroom programmer really helping out. He has offered to do a seperate installation in another folder to see if it is indeed the server or somthing I did wrong in the upgrade. He is as stumped as I am. I am not going to fiddle with anything in the original folder as I really don't want to mess anything up. I will wait to hear back from tech and work with the Jamroom programmer. Everyone is doing their best. Thanks so much for caring, it means a lot. I do feel pretty sick about this right now!

I have to agree with Steve on this one. It is fun learning how all the dcripting and database stuff works. Take it from me, I started knowing absolutely nothing and have learned quite a bit over the past few years. With every script or database I use I get alot more knowlwdgeable and I have to say that the wonderful members of the TCH forum are responsible for my gaining knowledge. They are very helpful. Just ask questions and read the tutorial sections. You can do it!

Welcome to the team! How awesome That is one of the things I love about TCH it really is one big family. Coolest Web Hosting company on earth!

Geez... been working at this issue for a couple of days now and have run into a huge snag... Here's the story: November 9th... I get an email from a member of the indiemanagers.com site saying they are unable to modify their user profile on our site. We installed 'Jamroom' back in March and have been running it fine. After going back and forth with the member all day and talking to the programmer of Jamroom, I find out there is a bug in IE that causes these user profiles to not modify. The profiles do modify just fine in every other browser Gee surprise surprise! So, I email the Jamroom programmer (www . jamroom . net) to find out how to fix this. He tells me to upgrade the script package as that bug is fixed in the new version. I emailed our member telling her to hold on, that we are upgrading the script and I'll get back to her once it is fixed. November 10th... I did an upgrade this morning fro Jamroom 2.27 to 2.51. Everything went fine. I uploaded the new distribution, ran the update.php script, deleted it as per instructions. Then I logged into Admin and changed a few minor Jamroom Config settings... nothing really big, just changed the band directory to 'artists' and enabled notification of song uploads/changes and also changed cookie name to something else. When I made the Jamroom Config changes the system logged me out automatically. That was a bit weird I thought, so I tried logging back in (on Firefox and IE6) and it will not allow me to log in. There was no error message given, it just brought me right back to the login.php page and no username/password combo worked at all. So this was really freaky as I was locked out of the program altogether and so are all the members of the site. I emailed the Jamroom programmer and he graciously looks into it on my server (he is a super nice persone BTW). Here is his email: I have submitted a ticket to support and am really freaking quite a bit as it seems that even if I roll back to the IE conflicting 2.27 version the script might not work because of these SID problems. Does anyone here know anything about this who can help? I know it's not my fault or the programmers that this happened, but the members are locked out of the Observatory (Jamroom) and this part of the site is really integral and I feel a bit sick to my tummy right now. If we loose this part of the program, the association is going to look really bad I think. What could possibly be going on on the server to make these issues happen? I really do not want to have to move this domain to a different Host. I love TCH. But I am not sure what to do to fix this at all. Help Help Help!

I just looked up the breed. What a gorgeous cat! What incredible fur! Must be an awesome little bed/lap warmer for sure. I did in fact get the script to work... was a problem with my DW FTP settings. Thanks again Don Purrrrr

I think it must have been something in Dreamweaver FTP, they must not have cgi files set to upload as ASCII. I will have to change that. I deleted the .cgi file from the server and used SmartFTP to re-upload it and change permissions and the script worked after that. YAY! Thanks for all the help The only other thing I will ask is if anyone knows a good Bits/Bytes/Megabytes/Gigabytes converter?

Argh.. I have to go to a session now. I will have to tackle this again in the morning. Thanks for the help and tell Oscar the feline hot water bottle meow!

Time for Kitty Atkins induction! LOL Thats a big puddy tat!

Ok, I changed that. For some reason I am getting an Internal Server Error 500 Here are the parts of the cgi script: ># START USER EDITS # absolute path to folder files will be uploaded to. # WINDOWS users, your path would like something like : images\\uploads # UNIX users, your path would like something like : /home/www/images/uploads # do not end the path with any slashes and if you're on a UNIX serv, make sure # you CHMOD each folder in the path to 777 $dir = "/home/cpanelname/public_html/folder"; #$dir = "d:\\html\\users\\html\\images"; # absolute URL to folder files will be uploaded to $folder = "http://www.****/folder/"; # maximum file size allowed (kilo bytes) $max = 51200; # for security reasons, enter your domain name. # this is so uploads may only occur from your domain # enter any part of your domain name, or leave this # blank if you don't mind other web sites using your copy $domain = "http://www.****"; # if a file is successfully uploaded, enter a URL to redirect to. # leave this blank to have the default message printed.

Say hi to Oscar! Hey one more thing that maybe you can help with: I am trying to install an upload script to the CGI bin. The notes say: # absolute path to folder files will be uploaded to. # WINDOWS users, your path would like something like : images\\uploads # UNIX users, your path would like something like : /home/www/images/uploads Since we are on UNIX machines, would my upload directory be home/public_html/myusername/thedirectoryimade I am not sure what the full path is. Thanks for shedding light and fur!

Don, In my previous life when I was a cat, I am sure you rescued me then as well. Thank you for the help. Say hello to the furry friends for me

I am trying to set up a folder for someone to upload some images to my domain and am a bit confused as to how this works. I read the instructions in the TCH FAQ on FTP which said: Setting Up An FTP Directory For Others To Access Create a folder Password manage it through cPanel Remove the index file from it and remove index manager using cPanel for this folder Create the users in the password manager Bingo! You now have a folder (directory) which is protected by passwords and they can see only that folder. Warning: remember that FTP download access will eat up your bandwidth Ok so I went into cPanel > File Manager and set up a folder named "foldername" in the public_html directory Then I went to password manager and gave the folder a username and password There was no index file in the folder, so that was fine. Then I went to FTP Manager in cPanel > FTP Accounts and set up a new account with the following info: somename@****/foldername Gave it a username and password I fired up SmartFTP to check it out and tried to log in as follows: FTP Address: ****/foldername Username: the one I set up in the FTP Profile Password: the one I set up in the FTP profile It's saying that my login is incorrect. Can someone please point me to what I did wrong? Thanks

Glad to have found this topic. I got one as well!
