Thanks Bruce!

But I guess it could be used on a dedicated server hosted with TCH.

According to the Invision-Power Website: You will only receive email notifications if you are logged out. If you close your browser and don't click log out, you will still be logged in for several more minutes. So, if you are looking at some posts in another part of the forums and someone replies to another topic you are subscribed, you will not be notified unless someone else replies after you have been logged out. So, while I'm sitting here typing this post, I am missing any notifications from other posts I am subscribed to. Although this is very frusterating and non-standard, this is the way that Invision-Power-Board works. It is not something that is controlled by TCH. Unless Invision decides to change the way this works, there is probably nothing to be done about it. One thing you can do (if you have posted in a topic you want to track) is to click "search" up at the top, make sure "All Forums" is selected, leave the keywords field blank, and type your username in the username field. It will show you everything you have posted to in the last thirty days, with the most recently posted to ones first (by anyone - not just you). So just look at the first few and see if there is anything new. By the way, other than this one issue, I really like the way Invision Power Board works. It seems very intuitive and user-friendly.

Then use the same technique with whatever company this actor is with...

So, try out the basic reseller's plan. Pay month-by-month. If you outgrow it, then find a streaming video company that can do lots and lots of visitors at the same time (but cost $$$).

8MB in 5 minutes... Thats about 300kbps. Looking at the extreme case of 20 visitiors AT THE SAME TIME: The server would probably be fine with 20 visitors, but that is a lot of bandwidth: about 6mbps. I'm not sure if the network could send it out that fast. The viewers may not get smooth video.

I had some emails that I transfered from Windows IIS imail server. They were in a different format, but I imported them into Mozilla email, then exported them to mbox format, renamed them, and ftp'd them to tch, and it worked. Since yours are already in mbox format, it should be fairly simple. Let me know how it goes...

TCHRobert- Most commercial php scripts have server scripts. Like the popular Gallery and Coppermine picture galleries, SquirrelMail, etc. All these programs have php's exec() command, which runs server commands. And, these programs are encouraged here in the forums. Also, here is a quote taken from http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...showtopic=10623 I have not attempted to create the script that changes passwords, because I do not have any used for it. But let's say that the person that started this thread does, would that be against policy?

I'm not saying I want to leave my ftp client connected all the time. Besides, I'm on dial up most of the time. When I leave my desk, I disconnect the Internet. I'm not trying to use up more of my share or be unfair. By the way, what is the ftp user limit on the shared reseller servers before you get a "too many connections" message?

I know that human errors can be very frustrating, but those TCH people are only human believe it or not. I'm sure that there are things being done to prevent something like that from happening again. Thumbs Up

The "mbox" format is the standard email format for linux. Create your email account in cpanel, then use ftp to copy your inbox.mbox file to /mail/domain.com/user and rename it to inbox. Do the same for any other mbox files you have.

If you are a reseller, then you need to buy that yourself. Send in a ticket to purchase a certificate through tch, or buy one through another company and have tch install it for you.

The server address would be your domain name. You will need to add your computer's ip address to the list in cpanel's database admininstration so you can connect with your application (like MSAccess or whatever)

I've never gotten near 15 minutes. 300 seconds is about what I'm getting, and it is not my ftp program. It is set to try and "keep the session alive" by sending random commands like ls and pwd. But, I still get disconnected because "no file transfer in 300 seconds"

I meant by using a php script to do this, not shell access.

Another example: Let's say you work on a project while at work in your spare time or whatever, and the project is in no way related to the company. You are using your own ideas, and create a brilliant new program related to time travel while working as a computer clerk at Wal-Mart. Who own's this program that YOU created? Wal-Mart does! Don't do ANY work on company time or property that you would like to keep for yourself!!! Do it at your own house.

I'm not complaining, I'm just doing some math here... If the starter plan used to be 5.5GB, and now gets 2x the bandwidth, shouldn't it have 11GB instead of 10GB?

There is no built-in programs to do this. However, since you have access to the shadow password directory of your users, you could write a php script that accepts a new password as input, computes the crypt-hash, and replaces the old hash with the new one.

If you don't have too many people downloading the clips at once, then you can use your disk space and bandwidth from TCH. MP3 files and wma files can be made to automatically stream when their link is clicked on. That's what I do. I don't know how many simultanuous visitors it would take listening to the clips to overload the servers. I wish I did though.

spamassassin adds it's header to the email, and then it goes to the filter. Spamassassin first Filters second So your filter could read the headers added by spamassassin and then do with the email whatever you want it to. Allow it to go through, delete it, bounce it, send it somewhere else, whatever.

Make sure you put the pipe symbol before the script like this: |/path/to/test3/procmail.pl It won't work without the pipe! Is your script actually in the test3 folder? You may want that script in your home folder so it isn't directly accessible by www. If you want all unrouted mail to go to test3 without going through the script, put test3@domain.com in the default address box. If you have code in the script to detect unrouted mail and process it, use: |/path/to/your/script.pl

This is a great script. One question though: What happens if this script trys to open (and write to) MAILFILE while the email server has it open, or vice versa? Looks like it could cause a "conflict"???

You know, using a filter to send email to a php script can be extremely useful and powerful. This gives you the ability to make filters with multiple criteria. CPanel filters let you do this: >If subject = "billing" THEN forward to billing@domain.com PHP scripts let you do this: >If subject = "billing" or "sales" AND to = support@domain.com AND body contains account number THEN save email to database AND send a copy to admin@domain.com AND send personalized reply to sender. Although that example is probably useless, you can see the complexity that it allows. Who knows... it may be valuable to someone other than me.

I try to always follow up when I get a solution. There have been so many times when I search a forum and find someone with my exact same problem and they either get it working and don't reply and all, or simply say "it's fixed now." That doesn't do anybody else any good. I get sooo much help here on this (TCH) forums. You all are great!

In case anyone else ever runs across this problem, here is the solution: Run php in quiet mode -q. Otherwise, it returns: Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.3 And the email server feels inclided to return that as an error. Also, NO BLANK LINES between #!/usr/bin/php -q and <?php
