kj, sorry to hear you're having problems I don't know how mod_security works or how it is implemented here at TCH so I'd suggest you open a help desk ticket explaining the situation, so the techs can tell you what can be done.

Sending the e-mail right now. Let me know if it works for you

I use OpenOffice

Well, it seems this is a problem with gFTP 2.0.17. HC (to whom I thank for the time and patience to test this with me ) has 2.0.16 running on his Mandrake system and it works fine, so we wondered if it was a problem with my version. I went to the gFTP site to download 2.0.16, try it on my system and, eventually, check out the source code to see the differences. Turns out that gFTP 2.0.18 has already been released, so I downloaded it and, after making a few changes to the .spec file to make it work with FC3, I've built an RPM with which I upgraded my gFTP version and now it works just fine It's also much faster than the previous version... I still don't understand what kind of optimizations Red Hat does to their packages that makes them so slow... ccscmhne, if you want I can send you the RPM. Just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you (it's just under 1 MB).

Yep, access should be able to do that without any problems

HC, can I ask you a favour? Could you capture just the FTP traffic with Ethereal, save the results in a file and send it to me, so I can see if there are any differences between the way our gFTP programs talk to the TCH servers? I'll tell you how to do it, in case you never used Ethereal. It's pretty easy to use (assuming you have it installed). You'll have to use it as root, otherwise you won't have all the capabilities available. First of all, open gFTP and login to your TCH account, so the username and password don't get recorded by Ethereal. Then launch Ethereal, open the "Capture" menu click "Start...". Then, on the "Capture Options" window, write "host ****** and tcp port 21" (the 'and' too), replacing ****** with the domain name you'll be connecting to. Check both the "Update list of packages in real time" and "Enable network name resolution" options. Click the "OK" button. A new window will open, telling you how many packets have been captured. You can ignore it, minimize it, put ir in the background, whatever... Next, browse into a folder in gFTP and go back up to the. Disconnect. Bring the small ethereal window back to the front and press the "Stop" button. Finally, in the main Ethereal window, go to "File -> Save As...", select "All packets" under "Packet Range" and "libpcap" as the file type. E-mail me the resulting file, so I can compare it with the one I have from my version of gFTP and, hopefully, understand why Fedora's gFTP doesn't work

Not me. To be honest, I don'teven know what Jybe is Moving to the software section.

ccscmhne, first of all, welcome to the family! As for your problem with gFTP, I have the exact same problem. Not sure what it can be, I never examined the communications between my computer and the server but I guess I'll have to do that some time. I'll use Ethereal to sniff the FTP protocol between TCH and my computer and I'll try to see what's going on. I'll do the same with the command line FTP and see what's the difference. I'll let you know if I find something.

Time for me to move away from WP. I never liked it's structure... way too many files in the root directory, PHP code mixed with HTML, HTML mixed with PHP, when you upgrade the templates are a problem, some files get deleted and others that are not going to be needed get left behind... too messy for me. Guess it's time to finally put my own CMS working on my site

PCHelp, yes, Konqueror is a KDE only browser, so you can only run it if you're running KDE, which is a *nix desktop environment. On the other hand, I saw somewhere that it is possible to run KDE under Windows... perhaps by using Cygwin? As for why any start time is important, IMO, it is important, because I really don't like having to wait ages for a program to load but, as you said, I won't mind waiting a few seconds more it that program works way better than others. Moving for organization.

If you want to do it yourself, you could backup both phpBB files and database and then simply uninstall it in cPanel. Then you'd just have to restore the files and database. Of course you'd lose the possibility of upgrading through cPanel but since it seems you already have...

Get it while it's hot! http://wordpress.org/download/ Warning: the .tar.gz file seems to be broken. I have notified Matt (wordpress project founder and maintainer) by e-mail. In the meanwhile, you can grab the .zip package, which seems to be fine.

Billy, you should use register_globals off all the time and make your scripts compatible with it. That's the best way to code PHP. If not for making your scripts more secure, at least it will make them compatible with everyone else, because they will work whether register_globals is on or off and since register_globals will eventually be turned off by web hosts due to possible security implications, I'd say you have nothing to lose, only to gain

I love that logic test idea, matman! Oh, and thanks for the link, too.

Welcome to the forums, sensory If you need anything, just ask!

Welcome to the family, rglenn! If you need anything, just ask

Well, I guess this is a matter of imagination... the first thing that came to my mind was asking people to check some other page and enter a certain word from somewhere in that other page into a text field in your form. Of course this isn't as viable as captchas (who invented that name?? ), because page contents may change at any time. There's also the e-mail verification method: you send an e-mail to someone with an unique code, which that person will have to enter in another page to be able to verify his/her account.

Here's one I'm sure lots of you will appreciate. I sure did appreciate it, being in the middle of studying for college finals and having to set up a database backup system for a client! You have to edit the bash script to set the database details but don't be scared, the script is very well commented, has pretty good documentation (inside the file) and it's really really easy to configure. It creates daily, weekly and monthly backups, rotating the daily ones at the end of the week. Really good stuff! http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ Enjoy

Andy already answered your question so I'll just welcome you to the family: welcome aboard, aerojockey!

Welcome to the family, oogie!

Check out http://www.sitepoint.com/ and Kevin Yank's "Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL". It's a pretty good book to start from

Search google for "php tutorial", you'll find TONS of reading; Search amazon books for "PHP" (on the computer->programming section), on the search results page select the "sort by average consumer rating" option and then start reading the reviews for the ones with good ratings (4 stars and above).

Welcome to the forums, Scott! As you have seen by now, your script will feel right at home on your account. It has everything you need
