I'm not sure how long it's been happening, since about a week or two ago they tried to access our site for the first time.

It comes up quickly for me too, as well as everyone else. It's just 1 client that can't get to it. There's no router or firewall, and they can access any other site I point them to (no matter how obscure)

One of our clients can't seem to get to our website. IE searches for it for a minute, then comes back saying the page wasn't found. If we ping the site (dentalit.com) from their PC, it comes back with "TTL Expired in Transit". They don't seem to have problems accessing any other sites. What can be causing this, and how can we correct it? Thanks, Jeff Brady Dental Information Technologies

I've recently been getting emails telling me I'm almost out of disk space. I know I didn't have a lot of stuff stored on the web server, so I did some investigating and found that I have around 350MB of stuff listed in my mail folder. I did some more investigating and found that I have 70,000 unread emails sitting in my default 'catchall' email account. Any way a TCH admin or support person could go thru and clear it out for me? My domain is www.lanrigs.com

What about if you set up a CNAME that pointed subdomain.domain.com to domain.dyndns.org? Would that change the URL in the web browser?

Yeah I'm running dyndns.org at the moment. I send clients to a page of ours, subdomain.**** which is redirected to mydomain.dyndns.org. The problem is that the URL in my client's web browser says dyndns.org, when I wish it could have my company's URL instead. It's not a huge deal, as everything is working how I want .. it's more of a cosmetic thing. Imagine you click a link on Microsoft's website and it takes you to a Microsoft page hosted by Geocities or something ...

daily, weekly, monthly .. just random. I'm waiting to get more info from Network Solutions. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to redirect mysubdomain.**** to a dynamic IP where the URL in our client's web browser shows OUR URL and not the URL of dyndns.org or any other dynamic DNS service?

but it IS possible, right? (even if help desk does the editing instead of me doing it)

Or can I only point my domain to them? I'm trying to set up service with Network Solutions dynamic DNS feature, and would like http://mysubdomain.**** pointed to my public IP's current dynamic address. Right now I have http://mysubdomain.**** redirected to http://mysubdomain.dyndns.org, but want to get rid of dyndns.org since that's the URL my users see after they're redirected. With Network Solutions' service, they'll see http://mysubdomain.****. So I need to be able to modify my DNS records in order to use their service (or at least that's the impression I got from NS). Thanks!

edit your .htacess and put a line like this: DirectoryIndex other_index.html where 'other_index.html' is the name of the file you want as your starting page. The downside is that this affects every subdirectory too. For example, my first page was named 'main.html' and the server expected it to be index.html. My .htaccess file was edited to say: DirectoryIndex main.html and that worked great, until someone went to www.mysite.com/subdirectory. In that subdirectory, the server would not recognize index.html as the main page. It was looking for main.html as specified in my .htaccess file. So, what you do is add a 2nd option in there, like: DirectoryIndex main.html index.html Meaning the server first looks for main.html, and if that's not found it looks for index.html. You can also add other entries too. I've not tried, but I assume that if you wanted www.yersite.com/blog/index.html as your starting page, you could do something like: DirectoryIndex blog\index.html But you might have to mess with the syntax to get it right (\blog\index.html or .\blog\index.html, etc)

thanks .. i found a file on phpnuke.org that's supposed to take my current version (you have 6.5 loading by default, right?) to 6.9. Hopefully it works!

I loaded Nuke thru CPanel, and would like to upgraded it to the latest version (6.9). How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

ooo i figured it out: if you're using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and have to set up a MySQL connection: Connection Name: Anything_you_want MySQL Server: localhost User Name: Your_Cpanel_Username Password: Your_Cpanel_Password Database: Click the "Select" button, you should get a list of your databases to choose from! I thought I had tried "localhost" before as the MySQL server name, but maybe I was using the wrong username. Either way, it's working! Yay!

I'm trying to set up Dreamweaver MX's MySQL connection, and it asks for the following: Connection name (can be anything) MySQL Server User Name: (set to my CPanel username) Password: (set to my CPanel password) Database: (set to the SQL database name I'm working with) Anyway, what is the name of my SQL server? is it www.mydomainname.com? is it serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com (where XX is my server number)? Plz help!

Excellent! Thank you! I just did that, and it worked perfectly. When visitors enter my site, they see my flash intro (flashintro.htm) , and when they click past it, they get to the site itself (index.htm).

When someone goes to my site, I want the first page they see to be something besides index.htm. How can I change the default index page? Thanks, Jeff
