  1. kajoiner, that error means you have no files on the "calendarweb" directory on your account. Are you sure you uploaded the files to the right location? It's /public_html/calendarweb
  2. I'm not one of those guys that has pretty display panels on the computer case, showing the fans' RPMs, CPU temperature, etc, etc. But I do think it's important to keep an eye on things, especially temperatures, every now and then, to make sure everything is running smoothly and there's no disaster waiting around the corner. So today I decided to do just that: take a look at how my system is. I had never done this with Linux before and the output of lm_sensors is a bit different from what I was used to (darn pretty GUIs Mad!!!). Anyway, here's what I got: The second line (the one in bold) is the one that's worrying me. I'm not a hardware enthusiast, so I'm not even sure what VCore2 is but one thing is certain: +0.11 V is way below the supposed minimum value. Is this a reason to be worried? I always found it strange that my CPU was always detected as working at values around 1411 MHz (it's a 1.4 GHz Athlon XP). Also, some time ago, I noticed some programs (including Windows/Linux system information stuff) were only detecting 502 MB of RAM - the machine has 512. Could there be a connection between all of these? Thanks in advance
  3. Parrotlet, it would be useful if you'd provide a link to where you're trying to install the script, the script's name and, if possible, where to get it's source code. Otherwise we can't be much of a help
  4. I had suggested Mike a nice mod that places a tiny image on top of each post. If you've read the post, then the image will be simply white. If the post is new since the last time you visited that thread, then the image will be blue/purple. I'll ask Mike or Mitch if they can install it again.
  5. mike, I'd leave system restore turned off, if I were you. It's just the perfect thing to grab a system file which has been infected with a virus and store it in archive. Later, when you want to restore your system, hello again, virus!
  6. chazmoid, have you changed any permissions for that database?
  7. Congratulations, Robert
  8. Quite an interesting read. http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6282
  9. murasaki, you need two graphics adapters or just one with the possibility to connect two monitors to it (usually called "dual-head"). Perry, I wouldn't know what to do with all that HDD space! May I ask what you store in all those disks?
  10. Hi erisande. I moved your topic to the Scripting Forums for better exposure. As for your question, I don't know how you could do what you want. I tried a couple of things but nothing worked. I'm guessing you really need to include the script as an SSI
  11. I'm not sure of the exact syntax either but I'd try adding this to the end of the allowed MIME types list, on the file Bruce mentioned: "application/excel" => array( 1, 'word.gif' , 'MS Excel doc' ) , or perhaps "application/msexcel" => array( 1, 'word.gif' , 'MS Excel doc' ) , Note that I used 'word.gif' as the icon for the MIME type because there's no icon for Excel. You can create your own and plave it under the <forums folder>/html/mime_types/
  12. Interesting reading http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/0...235&mode=thread http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/pers...ptlinux060.html
  13. I used to use Dreamweaver (up to version 4) but then I dumped Windows and I started using bluefish. Maybe I'll use DW again some day, if Macromedia decides to make a Linux version of it (I've read some rumours that they're seriously considering it). Untill then, I'll keep writing everything by hand.
  14. Quite right! I've edited my previous post accordingly. Thanks for the headsup, Bob!
  15. First of all, since there are some people that seem to have problems using the Java Applet on the chat page, I tried to find a solution for those problems. Unfortunately, I couldn't find definite solutions, because these problems seem to happen randomly and thus haven't been tracked down by the Java Applet programmers. I did find some things on their forums that you may want to try if you're having problems connecting. Make sure you have the latest Java VM installed - http://java.com If you're behind a firewall, make sure you can connect to port 6667 on a remote server. Make sure you click YES on the security pop-up that appears when the Applet is loaded. If you clicked NO/CANCEL on the security pop-up, reload your browser. Well, now that we have that out of the way, let's start with our tutorial. Please keep in mind that I will use TCH's IRC server (IP: 66.79.162.170 ) as an example but all the commands can be applied to mostrly any other IRC server. Also, all the commands I'll present should work on most IRC clients. If for some reason a command doesn't work with the client you're using, please consult the program's documentation. I cannot cover all possible commands, thinking about people that use a different IRC client, sorry. OK, so when you open an IRC client, the first thing you'll want to do is connect it to an IRC server. That can be done using the /server command. So, in order to connect to TCH's IRC server, we'll enter this command: /server 66.79.162.170 Note that this is done automatically when you use the Java applet on TCH's chat page, so there's no need to enter this command. OK, so now we're connecter to the server. The next thing we want to do is to chose a nickname. We do it like this: /nick TCH-User You should replace "TCH-User" with whatever you want. If the nickname we chose is available, we'll be able to register it, so let's do it with the following command: /nickserv register mypassword You should replace "mypassword" with a password of your choice. It should contain at least 6 characters and both numbers and letters. Now our nickname is registered and no one will be able to use it unless he/she knows our password. To make sure of this, let's disconnect from the server and reconnect: /server 66.79.162.170 If your IRC client is smart and tries to use the same nickname you used the last time, you'll see a message from the server saying you need to identify yourself. If you don't see this message, it means your IRC client is using another nickname. In that case, you'll need to change your nickname to the one you want. /nick TCH-User Note that you just need to do this if your IRC client doesn't remember the nickname you were using. Right after this, we'll need to identify ourselves as the owner of that nickname: /nickserv identify mypassword Once again, remember to replace "mypassword" with the password you registered your nickname with. OK, now we want to join a channel so we can chat with some other people: /join #tch Note that TCH's IRC server automatically takes you to the #tch channel, so you won't need to join it unless you get out of it - but why would you want to do that, anyway? Still, you may want to join other channels, in which case you just need to replace #tch with the channel you want to join. Now that we're in a channel, we can talk to everyone on that channel. We just write to the channel window and everyone in the channel will see what we're saying. But there are times when we may want to say something to someone in private. For that end, we open a "query" window: /query AnotherTCHUser [/i]You'll need to replace "AnotherTCHUser" with the nickname of the user you want to chat with.[/i] Sometimes your connection may go down and come back up again in no time. In such a situation, the IRC server may not notice that you went down and keeps your nickname as being used. This is when we can make use of another command: /nickserv ghost nickname mypassword Replace "nickname" with the nickname you left behind and "mypassword" with your password and after entering this command, repeat the nickname change and identification routine, to get back to using your regular nickname. Well, here it is, a quick and dirty IRC tutorial. If anyone has suggestions and/or comments, I'd love to hear (in this case, read ) them. Hope you like it!
  16. I hate The Sims! How come your character takes 45 minutos to brush his teeth and sometimes more than an hour to eat breakfast? And no weekends to rest... blargh! Yuck! Still, it's the top selling game of all times, if I 'm not mistaken. Go figure
  17. LOL Great one, Thomas! Thumbs Up
  18. I'm not much of an online player but here's a list of my all times favorites (fairly recent): Battle Realms Red Faction NeverWinter Nights WarCraft 3 Prince of Persia 3D Freelancer Commandos 1, 2 and 3 And the immortal X-COM series (only the first two, the rest of the series sucks!), of course. I have an old laptop with Windows 95 just to play those old little games, Like UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Xom: UFO Defense, for you US dudes) X-COM: Terror From The Deep FlashBack The Lion King Alladin Pizza Tycoon Dune Dune 2 Dyna Blaster Prince of Persia And then there's the Spectrum/Z80 games I play with an emulator. They are... well, OK, I'll shut up now PS - As you may have noticed, I don't rate my games for their graphics, I rate them for their playability, storyline, fun. Besides, I hate FPS's
  19. No problem If you still need help, you know what to do
  20. Think of it this way: you need a database to install IPB so... a ) If you don't have a database, then you'll need to create one. b ) If you have one available, you can install IPB and use that DB. If you want to keep your existing instalation, there's no problem because IPB uses table names' prefixes so it doesn't overwrite any existing tables on the DB. If you want to overwrite your existing instalation, all you need to do is tell IPB to use the same table names' prefix, so it will overwrite the data in the tables
  21. Yes, that's what it means. IPB uses different table names' prefixes, so it doesn't overwrite an existing installation and allow you to run more than one board from the same database
  22. pbrennan, are you setting the permissions with cPAnel's File Manager? If so, try setting them with an FTP client. cPanel's File Manager sometimes fails to set permissions.
  23. Glad you could make it Do keep in mind that PHP supports two types of regular expressions, POSIX Regular Expressions and the more powerfull PERL Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) but their syntax is not compatible. By the way, can you tell us how you solved the problem? It might be useful for others who find themselves in the same situation
  24. I'll second the PHP suggestion. I'm a long time coder too and I felt home with PHP right away.
  25. OK, so that means I'll buy a +R/-R so I can purchase any type of blank DVD without any worries. By the way, is one of those formats better than the other? As for the two layers, I do remember reading about that somewhere a long time ago but never associated the two facts. Bob, how is that compression stuff done? Is it like ripping a DVD movie into a CD, meaning you'll lose the menus, language selection, etc? That's another are where I'm a complete ignorant: movie ripping, compression, etc but I'd like to know more about it so eventually I can make backup copies, just like Rob said.
