Thanks for the help everybody.. I've been learning on the StarDot website also (http://www.stardot-tech.com/) I'll post a link to the webcam when it's up and running.. Mel

Hello my friends, I have been tasked to setup an outdoor webcam for a website I'm working on. This will be mounted to the outside of the building, trained on the beach. Hardware? Software? Suggestions? Where to start? Is there a newbie guide somewhere? I'm assuming I buy an outdoor camera, run some co-ax to a video card installed in the PC (which has a cable internet connection), and have some software that captures an image every 15 - 20 seconds and ftp's it to the webserver (TotalChoiceHosted, of course!

Hey there A friend of mine has a small java app that he's running on a MS box. I want to run the app on my website, but he said I had to make sure we had a jvm running. Are there different versions of jvm, or is it a one size fits all deal? any advice? btw - this app reads an excel spreadsheet and updates mySQL tables. thanks! Mel

Tara - Read this site (twice!) it will hold your hand and walk you safely through the woods... there IS light at the other side! Joe will show you slowly and carefully how to make your page using notepad... so you fully understand how to make a webpage, not how to run a piece of web page making software. Learn the basics, then you can learn the tools... So you want to make a webpage... Mel

Hi, I'm connecting to and using a mysql db using localhost successfully. I want to attach to the same db from a different domain (on the same server/reseller account) I set up a new access host (mysql.myawesomedomain.com), but my php complains: Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mysql.myawesomedomain.com' (25) in *********** on line 12 Could not connect What steps am I missing? thanks! Mel

Very enlightening. Thank you for the discussion.

so what's a better way to hide the keys if putting them in the safe doesnt work?

Much mahalo! Rock Sign

That's it man... 2 lines: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello, world!\n";

I'm allready sold.. but I think this goes here... Is the following possible/acceptable? (I copied this post from another message board talking about switching hosts) sefu wrote: I've moved like 4 or 5 host now. I always read about compressing it in tar and moving the .tar file over to the new server and uncompress it there. But never really understood how or what commands I need to uncompress it on the new server? I've always just moved the raw files over, takes longer but thats the only way i knew I use a nifty little GUI SSH utility that i install on the server, fileman : http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/fileman/ (free!) I just click on the directories or files i want to add to a tarball, and then click on the tar button. I then use my other fileman installation at my other server, and issue the following command to pull the tar file remotely: wget http://www.domain.com/backup.tar.gz Then, to untar it, i issue this command: tar -zxvf backup.tar.gz Of course, your hosting provider has to allow you to run the gui shell (some hosts dont allow shell access). I do this all the time to backup a 'live' copy of my site over to a different domain space for testing new modules. Im on a dialup connection, and it saves me LOTS of time from having to download and reupload all the files.. Do we get shell access? Dont know anything about tars etc... but I have 19 domains to move this weekend, and dont want to do it via ftp! woooot Is this a viable way to go about it?
