They aren't an error message, they are simply instructions on how to connect to the database from either Perl or PHP.

You need to update the ioncube loaders. The loaders are found here http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php The ones you need are; http://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downlo...ers_lin_x86.zip Download the loaders, unzip the file, upload the 4.4 file to your ioncube directory (ideally in binary) and then everything should be fine (hopefully )

I'm not sure I fully understand what you are after. Do you want to copy (backup) just these files on a regular basis ? Or is this a once only copy?

Welcome to the forum Michelle

I'd just use a simple redirect. Anything going to your subdomain gets redirected to the index of the new domain. You should only need one redirect in the subdomain.

Basically, as Steve says, it's the permissions set on the file. There are 3 groups, the "owner" of the files, anyone in the same "group", and everyone else in the "world". Each type of permission is given an octal value: Read = 4 Write = 2 Execute = 1 These values are added together for each user category. The permissions are represented by a three-digit sequence with the first digit representing "owner" permission, the second digit representing "group "permission, and the third digit representing "world" permission. For example, if you wanted to make file.htm readable, writable, and executable for the user, readable and writable for the group, and readable for other, it would be; R+W+X , R+W , R or 4+2+1 , 4+2, 4 or 7,6,4 more conventionally written as 764 so setting it to 777 is basically saying that you need to set read, write and execute permissions for all three groups. If you go into the file manager in cpanel, and select the folder in question. On the right hand side you should see a link to set permissions. And you can just tick the boxes. Please note, giving everyone write access (777) is not secure.

I use Linux on the servers all the time I dual boot at home - XP with ubuntu. There are times when I want to look at sites with the same system as a typical user (it helps when providing support - hence I also have outlook express, outlook, IE even though I don't use them for my own stuff).

You could write a script - with that file name, that simply logs the IP and adds it to the .htaccess banned list whenever it's called. Just make sure that you have no links to those pages - otherwise you will ban google

tracert is something you do - see How To Run A Trace Route - if you don't understand it all, please paste it in the ticket. Simply because it's a relatively new server, and we haven't added that forum topic yet

Server 115 is running fine, and I've just checked several sites on there that are all coming up nice and quickly - so yes, please open a ticket, and I'd also suggest a tracert.

welcome to the forums

Congratulations

I had a play with PuppyLinux and DSL. I initially thought that Puppy wasn't up to much - but as I played with it a liitle more, I found it remarkebly powerful for an operating system, and lots of utilities. Overally I preferred PuppyLinux to DSL in the end (DSL is Knoppix based)

OK, that's a Movable Type blog. You can backup the mySQL database to keep everything, which you can then restore at any point if there is an issue. I'm not an MT user myself, but there is probably a backup you can do from within MT - I'm sure someone will be along with an answer to that.

basically, as you say, faulty code that needs changing. Try http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html to validate it. You will need to force the encoding type, since the one you have in is invalid.

An alternative is to just set a filter to delete spam, instead of having the spam box. That way, all spam is deleted as soon as it's detected, and you don't need to regularly clear out a spam box.

Welcome to the forums You can't easily create a database from a php script - you need to go into cpanel to create it. All of your databases need to have your cpanel username as a prefix, so yes you do need it. I'm always worried slightly about automatically creating things by any (even registered) user. Simply because of the security issues it opens up. It does depend on what you want to actually do of course, and how secure your script is. If we were to take a worse case example of email accounts - then you could enable a spammer to do their nasty work - and it's your whole account that then gets suspended (and the spammer won't care, they will just move on). There are automatic scripts you can do securely but they just need to be checked, hence my slight note of warning

No email problems on any servers at the moment. It may be that your ISP has also started blocking port 26 as well as port 25. Open a ticket at the help desk (link at top of page) for us to test your email account for you.

If you are parking them on bruceshobbies.com then they should be ns1 and ns2. If you leave them as dns3 and dns4 they will not work.

Welcome to the forums Vic. As was stated in that thread - TCH does not offer server side anti-virus checking of email it at this time.

You need to login to the domain name registration side, and change the DNS (Nameservers) from; dns3.totalchoicehosting.com and dns4.totalchoicehosting.com to ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and ns2.totalchoicehosting.com

I'll give that one a try. I also fancy trying http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ I might have a play tomorrow

an alias on a linux machine doesn't translate directly into a windows shortcut. Usually the FTP software will recognise that it's the same files though, and only copy one lot.

the www is simply a pointer to public_html - effectively a shortcut, yes.

public_html and www are the same yes. public_ftp is different, but virtually always empty, as anonymous FTP is disabled.
