I'm happy enough wtih Blogger.com. I created a subdomain with a matching FTP account. That way FTP access was restricted to my blogger subdomain. It works great, and you don't have to install/maintain any extra software. If blogger is sufficient, then this is a really easy way to go. Good luck. Let us know what you decide.

If you were willing to let at least the cat's "nose" out of the bag, so to speak, I'm sure that there is more than one solution to your problem. But without having more information, we can't really help you look at your problem from a different perspective. In reality, with CSS, you might not need to use tables at all. But we don't know that because we can't see the scripts you're trying to run. Best of luck with your project.

Marie is right. The problem with fixing these problems over email is two fold: first (and foremost, IMO) is that fixing problems in a fourm allows others to benefit from what you learn in the long run. If you run into a problem, chances are good somebody will run into the same problem later. Second, may people will provide input in a forum (anonymously) but won't bother to send you email. Post your specific question, and let our MT users help you out in the forums! Then everybody benefits!!

That could be kind of fun.... Hey, <insert name here>, I told you to leave me alone or else! Muah ha ha ha!!! Or you could recreate your home page, but have it be one image, with no links. Or you could create a mockup of a court cease-and-desist order (a legal fake one, not really pretending to be real, of course!) The options are endless....

If your question is "should I upload the files to the public_html folder, or a folder called "wordpress" at the same level as public_html" then the answer is this: Any files **NOT** in public_html folder won't be viewable by internet visitors. So you definately need to upload the files to public_html OR to a subfolder of public_html. If you want your wordpress application to be at your home page (ie: www.yoursite.tld) then you can just upload them to the public_html folder. If you want your wordpress application to be in a subfolder on your site (ie: www.yoursite.tld/foldername) then you need to create the folder "foldername" as a subfolder of public_html, and then upload your files to that folder. If you want your wordpress application to be in a subdomain on your site (ie: subdomain.yoursite.tld), then you need to create a subdomain using cPanel. A corresponding subfolder will automatically be created in your public_html folder, and you need to upload your files to the subfolder created by cPanel when the subdomain was created. Hope that helps. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask. And BTW, welcome to the TCH family forums!!

Welcome to TCH and welcome to the forums. I've been a customer here for more than 2 years, and am very happy with the service and the support!! I've never used scoop, so I can't be very helpful there, but I will say that the Help Desk people are very helpful when you need help with things like that. So good luck!!

Thanks for your help!

Maybe my computer is insisting that it is Friday and thinks I should go home now instead of hanging out in the forums. Maybe it will magically work on Monday. More likely, I'll wait until Monday to reinstall Firefox...

Slick. I bet that will work too. And it would be a lot easier (and faster). Good call Bruce!

I've tried that, but it doesn't work for me. Right now I'm not able to use Firefox to "View New Posts" at all. It is failing every time. If I click the back button, and click it again, I get the flood control error. If I wait 20 seconds, I get a white screen. This is happening every time I click the "View New Posts" button in Firefox. It isn't happening at all for me in IE. Maybe I should try to reinstall Firefox?? (If no other Firefox users are having this trouble)

Yay! You made my day. Glad I can help.

I'm using Firefox to read the Family Forums, but I'm having sporatic troubles searching the forums. When I click on the "View New Posts" link, about 7 out of 10 times, the browser hangs on a blank page. I've let it sit for up to 5 minutes with no avail. http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...rch&CODE=getnew is the link I'm trying to use. I get the same problem with the same frequency when I try to click on the "Today's Active Posts" link on the main forum page. If I click refresh too soon, I get the standard flood control error message. But when I wait the 20 seconds and click again, all I see is a blank screen. This is not a problem in IE. I'm using Firefox 1.0.3. Any thoughts??? EDIT: bummer. I tried to edit this post so I could fix the spelling error in the title, but I guess I can't edit the title of the message. Oh well. Know at least that I noticed it!

I don't use wordpress, so I don't know. But from the limited working I've done with mySQL databases, I've never had to tie them to a specific folder. The database works independently from the folder that the webapp is in. I think it will especially be fine, because you don't intend to use wordpress while it is in its temporary location. By the time you use it again, everything will be back to the way it was last time it was working properly.

Yes, you are in the right spot. When you create a subdomain, Cpanel automatically creates the target folder for you. That is why Bruce said that you shouldn't add a subdomain for a folder that already exists. If you want to work around this (because you already have content in the destination folder), you could do the following: 1. Rename the folder that currently contains your content (that will save your content, and you can copy it into the correct folder later) 2. Delete the redirection using the page you described in the above post. 3. Delete the subdomain. 4. Recreate the subdomain. This will create a folder with the same name. 5. Copy the content back into the correct folder. This will maintain your content, and it will allow cPanel to properly set up your subdomain. There might be an easier way to do this, but I'm sure this one will work. If somebody else has an easier way, I'm sure they will share as well.

I did the same thing yesterday. Darn browser hangs! (Because in my case yesterday, it was obviously not a user-induced error! )

First, when looking at your profile, it seems you have never been properly welcomed to the forums (even though your first post was a year ago). So without further ado, Welcome to the forums!! Ok. Back to business. I've never encountered the problem that you are describing. Usually when I create a subdomain, users only see the subdomain in the URL unless I have added a redirect for that subdomain. So If I create a subdomain whatever.mydomain.tld then the users see whatever.mydomain.tld, even though the file they are viewing is actually located at www.mydomain.tld/whatever. That is the behaviour you want. You don't need to set up redirection for this to occur. However, If I create a subdomain whatever2.mydomain.tld and then I create a redirection for that subdomain to www.mydomain.tld/whatever2, the users will not see the subdomain URL in the address bar. So maybe you should check to make sure you haven't added redirection to your subdomain. If you have, it is easy to remove, and then the URL will show like you want it to. I just verified this with my site, and it works like I've described. If you haven't set up redirection, post back, and maybe somebody else has an idea that will help. Edit for grammar and punctuation. You'd think I wasn't an English major in college...

In doing a little research on this question, I came across the following site. You can see if it meets your needs: h*tp://hitslog.com I found it on a list of counters on the following site: h*tp://www.cryer.co.uk/resources/websitecounters.htm Maybe something on one of these pages will be useful to you.

Wspulbisher seems like it is a useful tool, but it doesn't do exactly what I wanted. I guess if I want Dreamweaver, I'm going to have to use Dreamweaver!! Specifically what I like about Dreamweaver MX's site manager is the following: - Ability to compare local files to server files so see which are newer, then having the choice to download which ones you want. - Ability to mask certain folders so they are ignored by the FTP program (which is nice if I don't want to be synchronizing my Coppermine gallery every time I do an upload). I did find the following site: http://fullsync.sourceforge.net/ They produce a tool that lets you synchronize files on an FTP server. I think it is pretty cool. It lets you choose if you want to upload just the files on your local machine, or if you want to synchronize the files with the server (keeping only the newest version of the file), and it compares the files, then pulls up a list. Then before any changes are made, you have the opportunity to choose to ignore a file (or you can select multiple files and ignore multiple files at once). I think this tool will probably be what I use until I can afford to buy the newest version of Dreamweaver. Gee wiz those college days of academic prices on software were nice!!

Hmm... That's too easy. Dang.
