Welcome to the forums Matt

What error are you getting on uploading ? Can you copy it, and paste the complete error here (minus any personal information, such as login details of course)

Welcome to the forums Zack As Bruce says, the best is to upload it somewhere into the public_html directory

Welcome to the forums my2009ch You may need to use http://ipaddress/~username or http://servername/~username rather than just the IP address

You beat me to it

You chould really mysql_close($db); at the end - not just free the result memory with mysql_free_result(); I don't think the mysql_free_result would not close the connection when using pconnect.

With all the latest anti-phising bits in browsers nowadays, that will flag up alerts if your site does not match fully your SSL certificate, I'd be more tempted to get one for the domain than used the shared one (other than for testing etc.) .... just my 2c

Hi Paul A number of our clients run moodle, so you shouldn't have a problem. I don't think iconv is installed by default - but we can always add that via the help desk if needed.

Hi Wayne, Try changing from pconnect to connect. Whilst persistent connections eleminate the overheads during creation of new connections, mysql takes relatively short time for creating new connections and often the benefit of using persistent connections is not noticeable. Also, considering the drawbacks of using persistent connections its advantages are negligible. You may have also have to check your code and verify that all mysql sesstions are getting closed after the script execution.

The error you are getting is because you are trying to run this from a broswer - rather than from a cron job. I would recommend that you move the file to an area outside that visible to the public - such as /home/username/backups And then run it via a cron. The paths are different when you run it from the command line. We could modify it to do that - but personally I wouldn't want anyone visiting my site to be able to hit the backup button - so I'd password protect it to say the least I'll go and have a look at what our instructions said, and clarify the issue of running it as a cron job.

Welcome to the forums RobertCO Many thanks for your kind words. I'm here because I love the place, and it's part of my extended family - so I want to help out. I think that's true for most of us here, and I hope it comes across. A Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you

You need to set the cron job up in cpanel with the timing you require and; php -q /home/your-username/public_html/your-directory/queuescanner.php

You can't see the mail log specifically, but you can see the error log page for your account in cpanel.

Yolol I had a look at the server end, and could only see one attempt which tried to connect and failed - "Authentication failed on server", so you need to check that the authentication is set (you said above it was, so that should be fine). Looking at the dotproject documentation it looks like both methods should work. Either; the PHP Default Or SMTP Host: yolol.net SMTP Port 25 Host requires login checked SMTP Username mail_user@my_domain_name SMTP Password password for mail_user Queue Email for later sending checked SMTP Server Timeout 30 which is what I think you have.

Hi YoLoL, welcome to the forums You should be able to use the "PHP default" which is sendmail or the SMTP setting you have look correct. What's your domain name ? I'll have a quick look ( you can PM me if you prefer not to post it here)

Welcome to the forums designdroide

Andy pours makaveli a Guiness and a JD chaser Please help yourself to some of the buffet - there's plenty to go round

Andy nips down to the cellar to get a special crate of Old Perculier for Mike, and pours him a glass.

Welcome to the forums stubbie23 Open a ticket at the help desk (link at the top of the page) and we'll take a look for you,

You're welcome we've moved to the TCH happy evening - the bars free, just help yourself There's some food on the side there, make yourself at home

Andy gets a long neck for Bruce, and turns the juke box on, before joining him by the fire.

Hi, Winter is great (although slightly damp) with me. Welcome in, pull up a chair by the fire. It's nearly time for a warming drink, would you like a drink from the bar ?

Welcome to the forums OttomanCoins Basically you will need to either use a script (which is effectively what is in the swf files) or you will need to analyze your log files. Other than that, I'm not aware of a way to automatically get the information from a straight image file such as a gif or jpg.

My wishes for a safe trip

My personal view .....I'd do it now - and copy my site across now - so that I could test it before changing the DNS over. The cost of one months hosting is nothing compared to the piece of mind of knowing my site is working on the new server, and I only have to change over the DNS for it to be live.
