On IFrames, I think they are just as bad as using Frames, to be honest. They hinder the ability to bookmark pages, and be able to get back to them. If you must use something like an IFrame, try using a scrolling DIV, that will do the same, however you have to put the content in the DIV. Also, on tutorials on both CSS, and Dreamweaver, I have a few suggestions: Any of the Macromedia HOT (Hands on Training) books by Lynda Weinman (There might be more authors, not sure, just look for something like Dreamweaver MX 2004 H*O*T) are very good. I learned Flash MX through those. Now, on CSS, the best suggestion I can give, is play with it. Do a search for CSS help, then play with the various CSS attributes...and you will learn a whole lot more IMHO, than you can from any book that basically says "This is what this does" and so on. But, don't expect CSS to do everything, because unfortunetly there are some things it can't do (Such as have a DIV at the absolute bottom of the page) and the like. So even with CSS, I will still use tables to lay out some of the pages.

Okay, let me see if I can walk you through setting up a Cron Job if you have never done it before. First, take that code, and save it to a file, and that can go anywhere, in your root home directory, in the public_html, wherever. Call it whatever you would like to call it, as the name doesn't matter. Next, go to your control panel (The CPanel, not in MovableType) and click on Cron Jobs. From there, select standard. You will select the minute you want to run it (Typically I do it on 00) then the hour (Usually for me, that's run at 0) then the days you want to run it (Every day typically for me at least) Then every month, and every weekday. Basically that would run the script at Midnight of every day. Then, for the commandline, you would want to use 'perl <path to directory>' and also enter an email address to get notifications, in case something goes wrong. Now, to find out what database, and password you used, go into the directory you put MovableType in, and open up the config.cfg (I think that's what it's called, the file you edit at the beginning to set up the databases) and there you can get the database. And, then open up the file mt-dbpassword.cgi (Again, I believe that's the name of the file) the one that you used when you setup the password, and there's your password. As always, if you need any help, or more of a walkthrough, PM me...

Just to let you guys know, MyShell is considered an illegal script to run here. Reason being, it gives you basically an SSH shell through PHP.

1.) Yes, it can collect from a form, if you set up the form to interface with it. It's mailman, which is really good about that. 2.) I believe they are, yes. 3.) Yes you can lock that board down, after installing, just to go web protect in CPanel, and add a password and username file to that directory. 4.) You will need a reseller, and any of them will handle that many. The cheapest is: 19.99 for 8 gigs of bandwidth and 550 megs of space, the most expensive is: 45 for 25 gigs of bandwidth, and 2.5 gigs of space.

Actually it's not easier than you think, that is a bit more difficult. However, there is a plugin that will do it. It's called MT-RSSFeed, and you can get it from here. Of course, you have to add the tags into your MT page, and whatnot. If you have any trouble, let me know via PM, I can walk you through it, since I have been using MT forever now.

No problem at all. I used to use FlashFXP, until I got a site from Sourceforge that you can only upload to through SFTP, and then dropped it. Now I can't find a decent one that does SFTP.

But, I can tell you how to do it in flashfxp:) There is a setting in the preferences for list type, it's under the Advanced tab. You click in the dot by 'Custom list', and in the box enter -ls, that will show every file.

Well, the name that is added to the database, is automatic. That's the way that the server can manage to have databases for everyone without the chance of two sharing the same name. However, to answer your question: Hostname is localhost Port number can be left alone, it will have a default that is correct. Server name I believe would be your domain name... Userid can be your regular userid and password is your login password And database sounds like it wants the name of a database you create which would end up as <username>_<dbname you selected> If you need any more help feel free to PM me.

I might be able to help you out on this. The reason the columns are different widths in both IE, and Netscape is because the font is larger in IE. The only reason I can see this would be (After taking a look at the source, as well as at the CSS file) is that IE interprets the font sizes (x-small, small etc) differently then Netscape does, or it ignores them all together. My best suggestion, is to set the fonts to px, so that both browsers have to size the font the same.

I don't think it's possible either. The only way to setup AW to ignore certain hosts (Or IPs) is by changing a config setting, but since you don't have access to that config from CPanel, you can't set it. **** Update **** I stand corrected. According to here you can in fact do this. All it takes is editing the .conf file in the awstats directory in /etc/ and then chmodding it to 444.

You know, I didn't know about the Index Manager, and I been using CPanel for awhile now. Now that I know that exists, I might have to use it, but I seem to out of sheer habit create a plain index.htm in any directory until I put content into it. Comes from dealing with CVS for a bit too long.

The only "TCH File" that you have in your public_html directory, is the cgi-bin, which you do not want to remove (Of course, you can remove whatever is inside of the cgi-bin you no longer need). Other than that, anything else in the /public_html directory can be removed. I wouldn't mess with anything above the public_html directory though, because your mail folder and whatnot is in there. Oh, and if you have Frontpage extensions installed (And you would have had to install that on the CPanel install here) you don't want to remove anything that starts with a _ or _vti, as those are needed for the Frontpage extensions.

The easiest way to do this, is just to throw a blank index.htm page into the folder you want to protect the contents of from being listed. This way, the browser will load that page, as opposed to listing the contents. But, all the files in that directory are still available.

After claryifing a little of the AUP, this seems like a allowable thing to do. And yes, you could do this through a subdomain. Just go ahead and create a subdomain to it, then you can use the CPanel function: Web Protect to then protect it. In the Web Protect, you just click on the name (Not the folder icon) of the folder you want to protect and then in there, you can add the multiple user names and passwords. Or you could just set one user and password and give that out to the people who can buy from the store.
