Welcome to the forums remi I use Animation Shop as well.

Welcome to the forums Brian

As Andy says open a ticket with the help desk but it does sound like a permission problem.

Thanks for the link Steve

Welcome to the forum, Warrior I would go to www.google.com and search for how to create a web page. I would also recommend some reading, starting with the "Dummies" books for creating a web site. The "Dummies" series books are very good for beginers.

If you want to keep it in the subdomain you currently have install WP into a new subdomain (create it in cPanel). Once you are ready to dump MT just rename the subdomain folder something else and rename the WP subdomain "doggiediaries". Transferring the MT entries into WP can be handled with the import file provided with WP. See the WP codex for importing Movable Type for more info on importing.

Double click? I have changed my settings so I only have to click once. Click Start button to shutdown? No, I changed that too. Press the power button and it shuts down as if I did. (it's in the power settings if you didn't know)

Spam Assassin is on all the TCH servers. In you cPanel you need to enable it. Select the mail icon, then select Spam Assassin from the menu that appears. Then select Enable Spam Assassin to turn it on.

You are not alone. I don't either.

You can change that behavior in the Options settings in Firefox so they always open in new windows instead of tabs.

No different than here when the first snowfall occurs. Drivers forget how to drive.

Search hotscripts.com and I'm sure you will find something you can use.

Don't forget there are many people that run their browsers with java and javascript disabled so it's not going to make a difference. Also, once viewed in a browser the image is on the users machine in their cache. If the picture is too important and you don't want people taking it don't put it on the web.

Rob, blow real hard and see if you can get some of that heat over to Ohio by Sunday! It's 28F (-2C) here this morning.

>src="http://testing.goldielookin.co.uk/socks/img/3_yarn_6_socks.jpg" alt="our best grey socks" width="243" height="138" That will make your images load. If "img" is in your public_html folder you could just use >src="/img/3_yarn_6_socks.jpg" alt="our best grey socks" width="243" height="138" otherwise you could use >src="/socks/img/3_yarn_6_socks.jpg" alt="our best grey socks" width="243" height="138"

Try a full path to the images. http://your-site/path-to image since the page is in a subdirectory of you public_html otherwise you could use /img/image

Actually check out this thread. It's the one I've been looking for. Not sure if it still works, I will check with TCH-MikeJ when I see him online.

No, it's not that one and no it doesn't use secure FTP either and you won't be able to run a secure FTP on the servers here at TCH because they do not run secure FTP server software. The script I found does not zip the files it copies each file, I don't like that approach as it will use a lot of bandwidth. I am still working on something that will zip the contents and then be able to FTP it. Actually I believe there is something like this already posted in the forums but I have not found it yet.

45 and rain. You keep that snow over there, thanks.

I found a script (don't remember where) but have not tested it. If it works I will post it here. Going to take me a while to get to it.

Maybe you can find a cheaper solution. I just googled for audio chat software and happened upon it.

I found this that may give you a direction.

I do not believe you would be able to install an audio chat program on a virtual hosting account. You would be able to do it on a dedicated server if you found the software.

It would have to be manually re-installed.

Everyone should be backing up their own websites. Remember your data is your responsibility. But how should you backup? What should you backup? Why should you backup? Many people will tell you different ways to backup you web site. This is just one way, there are others. How and what to backup? If you run a static web site, any time you make a change you should make a backup and download it to your machine or FTP it to another server than the one your site is located on. I recommend running a full backup of your site from cPanel. Yes, you can do a home backup and would be able to restore it yourself but you will probably never need the full backup unless there was a problem beyond the control of TCH. To restore a full backup you would upload your backup into your web space and open a ticket with the help desk and ask them to restore it for you. You can restore a home backup yourself through cPanel but the home backup does not backup your databases, email aliases and other things. So if you choose to use the home backup be sure to make a home backup of your alias files, cron jobs, etc... If you are running a database driven site you should backup your databases every day. You can use a script called dbsender (see below) that can be run with a cron job to dump your database, zip it up and email it to yourself. The intructions below can be used to set it up. The FTP functions do not work in dbsender but the email function works flawlessly. The FTP doesn't work because TCH does not have ncftpput on the servers. To configure dbsender you only need to be concerned with the following. Just make the bold changes in your copy. // configure your database variables below: $dbhost = 'localhost'; // Server address of your MySQL Server $dbuser = 'yourcpanelname_dbuser'; // Username to access MySQL database $dbpass = 'dbuserpassword'; // Password to access MySQL database $dbname = 'yourcpanelname_dbname'; // Database Name // Optional Options You May Optionally Configure $use_gzip = "yes"; // Set to No if you don't want the files sent in .gz format $remove_sql_file = "yes"; // Set this to yes if you want to remove the .sql file after gzipping. Yes is recommended. $remove_gzip_file = "yes"; // Set this to yes if you want to delete the gzip file also. I recommend leaving it to "no" // Configure the path that this script resides on your server. $savepath = "/home/yourcpanelname/dbsender"; // Full path to this directory. Do not use trailing slash! $send_email = "yes"; // Do you want this database backup sent to your email? Fill out the next 2 lines $to = "you@a-valid-domain.com"; // Who to send the emails to - you can also use a GMail address $from = "you@a-valid-domain.com"; // Who should the emails be sent from? $senddate = date("j F Y"); $subject = "MySQL Database Backup - $senddate"; // Subject in the email to be sent. - you can change this $message = "Your MySQL database has been backed up and is attached to this email"; // Brief Message. - you can change this That is all the editing you need to do. If you need to backup mutliple databases with different dbusers and passwords you can rename the script. To install on TCH and use do the following: Create a folder in your /home/cpanelname folder called dbsender Change permissions of dbsender folder to 770 Upload edited dbsender.php script to dbsender folder you created Go into cPanel Select Cron Jobs - use the standard interface Command /usr/bin/php -q /home/yourcpanelname/dbsender/dbsender.php - or change the file name dbsender.php to what ever you renamed it Select 0 in the minute box - or choose a different minute of the hour to run the script Select 2 in the hour box - or choose a different hour to run the script Select Every Day in the days box Select Every Month in the month box Select Every Weekday in the last box Save Cron Job You're done. Why should you backup? As stated above, your data is your responsibility. Yes, TCH does make weekly backups of the servers but this is more for the protection of the entire server in case of a complete failure of the hardware. Take the time to implement a backup strategy and you will rest easy. dbsender.zip
