From the cPanel Documentation under Hotlink Prevention: Hotlinking is when another web site owner links directly to one or more of your images or multimedia files and includes it on their web page. Not only is this theft of your intellectual property, you are paying for the bandwidth used by that site. Refer to this article for more information on hotlinking. CPanel can prevent hotlinking by only allowing named sites (such as your own web site) to access files on your site. To prevent hotlinking: Click on the HotLink Protection button on the home page. Enter any other addresses that you will allow to access your site other than the provided defaults in the central area. Enter the protected extensions in the Extensions to allow field. Make sure you separate each extension with a comma. Enter the address to redirect any hotlinking to in the Url to Redirect to field. Click on the Allow direct requests tick box if you want to allow direct URL access to non-HTML files, such as images. Click on the Activate button.

I spel gud.

That's odd. I'm running Safari on Mac OS X and it showed up immediately for me. I didn't have to bookmark the site or anything. Also works for the Mozilla variants (Mozilla, Camino, Firefox), Netscape, and Opera. Doesn't work for IE or OmniWeb (at least the version I have, haven't updated that one in awhile). I don't consider IE on the Mac a real browser anymore though.

I personally like bluelagoon, but I believe cPanel is discontinuing (or already has discontinued) support for it, so you're probably going to be better off with x in the long run. I don't believe there's much difference other than x is iconic, and bluelagoon is list format.

The concern isn't the AWStats reporting. It's that some people could go over their bandwidth allocation for the month, because of the big graphics frequently being called.

Some browsers I don't believe read the favicon until you bookmark the site. I do believe IE uses favicons, though.

I have oodles of bandwidth left thanks to TCH's nice cheap plans! Bring on the downloads! woooot (how's that for a pitch? )

Keep in mind that if you are running the PHP script as a webpage, it runs as user "nobody", not as you. So if the files it is trying to remove do not have world write permission set, they will fail.

Make sure you have put the database password you assigned to the user in mt-db-pass.cgi (it should be the only thing in the file). In the mt.cfg file, you should have this in your database section (change zqhjluet_database to whatever your database is called): >DataSource ./db ObjectDriver DBI::mysql Database zqhjluet_database DBUser zqhjluet_califo4 And just triple check that you have added the database user you created to the database. You should be good to go then. If it helps... these are the steps I setup for installing MT.

I musta been dozing off.

You won't have any problem at all hosting that domain type with TCH.

Just speaking as a customer... Their preferred method for interactive contact seems to be Instant Messaging (AIM and Yahoo!), although they also use Skype (but that's windows only so I haven't tried it). All my interactions with them have been very good. Support tickets are responded too in a very timely manner as well. And even when I requested an additional drive and more memory for my dedicated server, at 11pm on a Sunday night, via instant messenger, they were installed 5 hours later (yes... 4am Monday morning... and I was going to be happy to have it done within a week!).

Well, you're splitting hairs on my use of propagate. I meant it as in the change propagating (spreading) through the various DNS caches. Probably a bad choice in wording on my part as most people do usually refer to propagate in the sense of items that update the root servers.

Just for the record, due to the distributed nature of DNS, any change is not guaranteed to be immediate (and most likely will take hours to a couple days to propagate). This includes MX records, name server records, host records, etc...

Mine's not too exciting, but anyway: Workspace, with Linux, Mac, and Sony Clie all showing TotalChoice Hosting website: And for kicks, my server rack at home that I'm replacing most of with TCH (and yes...that's the TotalChoice Hosting website using elinks on that monitor):

The nemesis article ended up working for me (pretty much).

Just login into the admin interface and you should be able to edit or delete any messages easily. Is there any specific portion of it that is giving you trouble?

Thanks. I saw the list apart one yesterday, but it was for a fixed width, only fluid height. The second one may do the trick since I want to keep the links column fixed size and only need to stretch the content. Gonna play with that now...

After a lot of digging around, it's looking like it might not be doable with CSS. The hacks I've seen that work use a fixed width format which I was trying to avoid. I could do it with tables, but that seems like cheating.

I believe I understand what your describing. The problems I have is that either the links or the blog entries could be longer, and I think what you are describing would leave the links side dark on the bottom if the blog entries got longer, unless I'm missing something. I also want to keep the links side constant width, and only the content side change when the browser size is changed. Also I'm having problems getting the content side to float instead of the current links side that is floating. No matter how do it, the links seem to drop down below the content. If either of the two are set to absolute, it breaks the footer, because then the footer ignores that column. If I'm missing something obvious btrfld, please elaborate. And for kreiser, yea... I considered that, too, but since the content side can be longer than the links side, then the opposite happens... the links side turns dark at the bottom.

In the event there's any CSS wizards here... I've created a new simplistic style for my weblog (I'm a simple man). In example page shows my problem. The right column is floated. All the columns line up correctly. But the document background is color #DDD, while the left column (content) background is #CCC. The problem is that if my content ends up shorter than my right column, you see the lighter shade on the bottom. My desire is that the whole left column is the darker grey whether the content fills it or not. Anyone know how I might do so? The involved files: example.php example.css

I have somewhat detailed instructions for installing movabletype as a SecureCGI here if you decide to run MT as a SecureCGI. It's a little more detailed (but not quite as polished yet) as TCH's for SecureCGI setup documentation.

Use the full version with all of the libraries. It includes all the perl modules required to run MT.

The problem you are having is because the jailshell environment doesn't have a config file for lynx so lynx dies trying to find one. For the majority of what you would do with lynx, though you don't really need a config file. You can just let it default everything. So do one of two things: either run lynx with a cfg value: lynx -cfg=/dev/null or create a file called .bash_profile in your home directory and put the following in it: >LYNX_CFG=/dev/null export LYNX_CFG

You could do something like I do in my robots.txt: >User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Disallow: /images/ Disallow: /gallery/ That should, I believe, rule out all subdirectories of the above as well. So if you can keep your gallery in it's own directory tree, it should work.
