TCH-Andy

I've just set one up on a test account I use. I got the same message as leezard when I set it up, but I went on to test and use it - it all worked perfectly. I didn't get any mail message saying I couldn't post. Do you get any other errors? or just the not allowed message? Andy

Thanks for the kind words I'm just glad you found us, you've made some really good contributions to the family Thumbs Up As you know by now it's just one big family where we all help each other out Andy

This link should provide the answer for you. Problems With Php_nuke, getting errors after installing Andy

I think it comes down to how big your site is and how much you are going to change it. I use Dreamweaver. For a small site, I use the Dreamweaver templates. If I want to add a note on every page about something (for example there is a routine server upgrade or something) then I modify the template and upload the whole site. If it's a big site, I don't want to do that, so I use php with headers and footers. Dreamweaver can copy fairly well with php. If you design things right then you can see in WYSIWYG the certral part of the page as you go. In my case, it doesn't have the style sheet included, so it's not quiet the same. I run a server and then php on my PC (I'm on a dial-up, so uploading to see the effect every time can be a pain). I do my main checks that way (you can also turn on full debugging for you PHP), and then a final check on the server by uploading. I also use php because there are several other bits I want to do with a site as well as use php includes for headers and footers etc. Some are trivial, such as automatcially using my key words in title, META statements and Header - whcih helps search engine optimisation. Others are more complex, for example I like to prevent somone grabbing a copy of my site, for which I use php. As to synchonise, I'm not sure about ws_FTP, I use the synchronise in dreamweeaver, which works fine. Andy

OK, I think I've caught up with you on this one - not my field of expertise, so I couldn'd say if it will work or not with JailShell. I would suggest you put in a help ticket requesting JailShell, and referring to this topic on the forum as background information. If HG is happy for you to have it for the purpose you suggest, then it will be set up and you can give it a try. Andy

Can you add the key bits of source code so that we can have a look? My guess is that there is somewhere that you need to let it know you are sending from your domain, and not someone outside of your domain using it as a relay for SPAM. Andy.

dudescholar, I'm not sure I'm understanding your request correctly. To my simplistic mind, if your ISP is blocking port 25, then it doesn't matter what you do at the domain name / TCH end, you are not going to get through on port 25. If I understand your problem correctly, you need a script on your laptop which will modify all your email accounts SMTP info to either the local ISP, or TCH at the push of a button. Can you always use your normal ISP for sending email? or do the ISPs you use whilst roaming block that? Andy

On my sites, I have a static index page (htm), but then all the links from there are php. that way I don't need any mod rewrites and everything is handled nicely. Andy

elvenjess, Can you had a help ticket for this one so we can have a look please. Thanks Andy

Hi, I'm not sure I understand your problem fully. There should be no problem getting PHP to write at points before the end of the file. Can you provide a short example? or a link to the pages? Andy

I agree, very cool Rock Sign Andy

I would go with the second one. Add an index page which people will see, and you can add protection to other areas of your site. I wouldn't add a password protect on the index page myself, because I assume you want some visitors to come along and access your site. Andy

Hi Cheryl Dance Dance Welcome to the Family Dance Dance Thanks for the kind words. Keep asking away with those questions - you should see the ones I asked when I first arrived I soon learn't though that in this family there is no such thing as a daft question, and lots of family members around to help sort out any problem. Andy

It certainly does feel good Dance Dance Welcome Home Dance Dance

LunarMagic, Personally I only ever right business plans for 2 reasons (I've written quiet a few in my time). The first is because I require money for my business and I wish to persuade someone that I'm a good investment. I need a document to help persuade them. It isn't the only thing that persuades people to invest in you, but it can contain all the information they need. The second reason is far more personally focused. I want to check that I am clear about the direction I want for the business, that I have looked at all the strengths and weaknesses, and that I'm not ignoring some major fault because I'm looking at it through "rose tinted spectacles" as we would say over here. In other words, is it a sound investment for me. Is it what I want to do. This can be a very different document to the first, although much of the information you need to look at is the same. Just my 2 cents as to why I write them. Andy

Anand, Dance Dance Welcome to the family Dance Dance Andy

DG, Yes, you are correct about multiple domains, if the pages are different for different domains, then you need a reseller account. In answer to the pictures, yes, the data centres house the servers for more that one hosting company. We use several data centres for the different servers. Andy

Joe, Welcome to the family, I'm glad you found us Dance Dance Thanks for the feedback and kind words, it makes me want to provide even better support to the family As you've already found, any problems, just ask. Andy

Well, my first comment is good luck, you have the basis for a good business there from the plan. The big area that's missing from the plan at the moment is the financial side - but I wouldn't suggest that you put that on the web anyway. In the plan as you have it the figures are not consistant, and the thing that will be a real problem is, like all businesses, cash flow. I can only suggest that you take a very careful look at it. If you like I will take a brief look if you want to send me a private copy. Andy

anantmadaan, Can you open a help desk ticket on this one please. There is a potential problem with usernames that contain dashes, which may be causing part of the problem here. Andy

Hi, What are the FTP settings you have at the moment (other than password), my guess is one of them is wrong. If you like you can IM or PM me and I will go theough it with you. Andy

Yes, the description and keyword tags should be for the page, not the site. As to the other tags you list, personally I do nnot find them of much value. I tend to put a copyright statement on the page anyway, along with an emal link. For Search Engine Optimisation, have a look at the Total Choice Web Hosting Help Site http://totalchoicehosting.com/help/searche...henginepage.htm Andy

Digirunt, I use a similar idea, but I use PHP, which I find much more versatile. When it comes to Search Engine Optimisation, you don't want all your meta tags to be the same, but I usually use PHP to default the title and first header to be the same, and for this to also be the first part of the meta tags. Andy

A belated welcome to the family

I don't know, you leave the country for a few days and everything changes. I've been away since part way through the server upgrades, and another week before I'm back - I couldn't resist diving in to see what was going on though Just want to get back and use the new system Rock Sign Andy
