They cost from 85 to 200 Euros (~ 100-220 USD, or something), here in Portugal, depending on the brand and model.

I'm adding another Linux distro I'd like to try: Ubuntu Linux. Well, actually I already did It seems pretty cool, though it's still in development phase. If only the developers could fix those nasty bugs... But I'm falling in love with Debian's APT package management. I already love it using it with RPMs on Fedora but... I don't know... the "original" just feels so much better... OK, enough geek talk

Welcome to the family, kevp. Thumbs Up As for the problem with MT, that seems to be a problem with the database username/password. Have you created a database for MT in cPanel? Do you have a a dedicated DB user for accessing the MT database or are you using the cpanel username (which has access to all databases on your account)? If you have a dedicated DB user, the problem may be that you're forgetting to add "yourcpanelusername_" before the username you created. Also, in case you have a dedicated user, make sure you added that user to the MT database.

Glad you're happy with the service, rammie! Thumbs Up Welcome to the family

So, IPB is no longer free... good. Now I can stop whining about how much I'd like it to be Open Source and get out of this indecision: no more IPB for me Back to Google, searching for good forum scripts. If only phpBB 2.2 would move a little faster... :\
-
Just as I thought, then I'll write a couple of letters, then Thanks
-
I'm taking your word for it (I didn't check the sizes) but if it's indeed larger than IPB, than it's strange, because IPB does have TONS of features that phpBB doesn't have. Perhaps it's just poorly coded... :\
-
Thanks, Alison. Let me ask you one more thing: what can someone from outside the US do about this? I'm asking because I live in Portugal and I would like to send a couple of letters but would they be worth anything?
-
Thanks, Steve. Just trying to help where I can, sharing the knowledge

Of all three (Horde, NeoMail and SquirrelMail), I prefer SquirrelMail. Have you tried it? You can simply go to www.******/sqmail and it will present you a simple HTML form for login, which can be used with Firefox's password management features.

Hi Jennifer. It really depends on how you have it working but from your description, I'd say the code should live in the PHP script. Here's what you need to know: PHP stores the values of submitted form elements in a global variable called $_POST. $_POST is actually an array, meaning it's kind of a variable container. Skipping the technical details, each submitted form field can be accessed in the PHP script that receives the form posting by using $_POST['field_name']. So, for instance, if you have two fields in your form named "name" and "email", after submitting the form, you can access that value in the PHP script by using $_POST['name'] and $_POST['email']. So, for instance, if you wanted to print a confirmation to the user, you could do something like this (some HTML tags are lacking, I know, I ommited them for simplicity's sake) : ><html> <body> Hello <?php print $_POST['name']; ?>. The e-mail you submitted was <?php print $_POST['email']; ?> - is that correct? </body> </html> Give it a try and let me know if it helps.

Thomas, it really depends. Some days the nightly build may be stable enough but the next day it may be completely broken. If you don't want trouble, I'd say you should stick with the stable release - unless, of course, you want to help hunt down the nasty bugs and help improve the software

I have used phpBB based web boards with databases quite larger than 85 MB and I haven't noticed any slowdown - come to think of it, I didn't see those boards before they got that full, so I really don't have any means of comparison. The greatest limitation I have found in phpBB is the fact that it's not built in a modular way, a way that allows you to add plugins without having to mess the core files. This is a real pain, because if you want to install a hack/mod, you'll probably have to reinstall it every time you upgrade phpBB, since those hacks/mods will be overwritten. Other than that, I'd say phpBB is becoming a bit old (compare it's features with Invision Power Board's, for instance). What saves phpBB is the HUGE community it has and the hundreds of mods/hacks that add really usefull and neat features to it. I would like to see phpBB 2.2 finally come to life but it's taking really long... Moving for organization.

Why not start with IPB 2.0 right away? As long as the license is free (as I think it is), I don't see any reason for you to install 1.3 and then having to upgrade to 2.0. Save yourself some work About the certificate, I Can't help you there, never used those - which is quite a hiatus in my experience as a sysadmin... must remedy that soon :\

Welcome to the family! Being (one of) the standards geek around here (or at least the one on duty, at this moment ), I should warn you that target="_blank" is going to be deprecated in future versions of HTML, which means it will probably stop working on newer browsers in a few years, so if you're making a page that you want to hold for a long time, you should take that into consideration. Besides, many people just hate new windows opening up without their explicit request - think pop-up blockers
-
Again?!? I don't get it, why are these matters treated as if they weren't important?
-
Wow, People Magazine! Nice! Thumbs Up The trial about the Tigers case took place on Saturday, right? Can you update us on that?
-
IPB 2.0 is available, as mentioned and yes, their licensing scheme has changed a bit. Or at least theyre trying to make it seem that way. With IPB 1.x, the license clearly stated that you could use IPB for non profitable forums, for an undefinite time, without paying anything. They don't say the same thing for IPB 2.x. They say you can use the trial version and they kind of leave the question in the air of whether you can use it for as long as you like or not. But don't take my word for it, I wasn't paying much attention while I was reading the license, since I was in a hurry.

Thomas, if you get yourself in trouble, you know where to go

Just for future reference, in case someone doesn't know: the "you know the rest" part in my previous post meant that TCH does not change pre-installed scripts, because the next time cPanel was upgraded (Horde, SquirrelMail and all the pre-installed scripts are installed with cPanel), all those changes would be lost and they would have to be redone. As you probably imagine, if TCH was to satisfy every client's little request to change a little piece of a script on all 80+ servers, every time we'd go through a cPanel upgrade, we'd need to hire a small country to take care of those changes There is another way, though, if you really want to get rid of the login dialog: install a personal copy of Horde webmail in your account
-
Oh, sorry, seems I misunderstood your previous post. Well, what you want is possible but you would have to change the login script in Horde, which would mean messing with the whole server and... well, you know the rest :|
-
You mean the password manager? It's there. Go to Preferences -> Privacy -> Saved Passwords and check the Remember Passwords checkbox. I don't know if it remembers passwords for HTTP Auth requests sent from the server but I know it works.
-
I'm not sure if you can get rid of the login boxes, because they are "sent" by the server. The only thing I can imagine is activating the password manager (or whatever it's called) in Firefox but I don't know if it will work, because I never let any software take care of my passwords
