You know, I can't remember how long I've hosted my domain with TCH, but it's been a long time. I mean, I'm on server11. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know what a great job Alex did for me this morning. I host my own mail now that I have a static IP at home. In less than an hour after putting in a help desk ticket, Alex had my mail server IP changed on the DNS and updated my MX record. Now that's what I call service. I've seen other hosting sites that offer more space and more bandwidth for just a few bucks more, but I don't need that. And one thing they don't offer is the service you can get here. Kudos TCH!

I can't seem to get access to Cpanel and FTP on Server 11? for my website, www.chris-n-kristi.com. Anyone else having this problem? Nevermind, seems to be intermitant, I can access them now.

Some of my members on my listserv are getting an attachment that is like att01729.txt. It seems to be an email header that their email client can't read properly so it attaches it as an attachment. Is there a way to disable the listserv from sending that part of the header or attaching that to an email?

Cox is now blocking port 25 on their cable modem service in Oklahoma. I just changed my smtp servers to use theirs and that has worked fine. Usually they have it set to accept authentication so that you can login with your ISP username/password and then send mail as any address.

Thanks. That worked almost perfectly. Just one quick note, if you have a custom skin installed that everyone is using, make sure you install that skin first before you move over the DB.

Right now I am running an invision power board on my site for my star wars galaxies player assoiation. Currently, a friend of mine in the PA, is in the process of registering a domain for our PA and setting up our board on the new domain. He's going to probably be hosting here at TCH (thanks to my recommendations ) and I was wondering if there is a way to export my DBs for the current board for the users, posts, forums, etc, and import them into the new DBs on the new board?

When using internet explorer to ftp into something that needs a username and password, you have to do it like this... ftp://username:password@subdomain.domain.com If you don't put the username:password@ in there, it will log on as anon user. TCH Rocks

Glad I could help

I turned on hotlink protection on my site. One thing I did was tell it not to block .png files. I have one .png image file that says remote linking forbidden and that still shows up everywhere that someone tries to link. The rest are all blocked.

Only the shadow knows! Muhahahaha!

You can mark all as read using this at the bottom of the main forum page:

Dang Li, you only have 14? You are a lightweight. I have.....*thinking*......at least 20 that I can remember right now....hehe

Ahh, from what I understand, that is not a true email account. It is a catch-all account setup on your domain for any mail that comes to the domain that doesn't have a vaild email. My suggestion is to create a new email account with the same name as you are using for your email. You new email username would be your full email address. Or you could just listen to those that work here and complete a post before I do....hehe

If you go to www.******/cpanel and Under Email there should be a link to Manage Accounts. On the Manage Accounts page, you will find a list of all email accounts you have setup on your domain, just find the one for you, or the only one listed and click the change quota button to adjust your quota limit. If you click the clear button on that form, it changes to unlimited. That should do it.

Muhahahaha! Only the shadow knows!

I did some more testing of this last night and found the only way I could get it to work was if the .shmtl file was in the root of my webspace (ie. public_html). It calls the script with this, < !--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-- >, and if you think about it, if I did www.chris-n-kristi.com/ros, then I could modify the code to be < !--#exec cmd="../cgi-bin/entropybanner.cgi"-- >, but since I am using ros.chris-n-kristi.com I can't do that because as far as the server is concerned, at least my view of it, is /public_html/ros is the root of ros.chris-n-kristi.com so I can't even get to the script, much less the pictures that it pulls. One thing I did to work around this problem at the moment, is on my framed page, I made the top frame where I want the script to run, reside in www.chris-n-kristi.com instead of ros.chris-n-kristi.com and that has worked as a work around.

I never received an email for the new Helpdesk. How would I go about getting access to it?

I was wondering if you can use Entropy Banner Ads on subdomains, such as I am running http://ros.chris-n-kristi.com now and I would like to use the banner on that part of my site, is it possible?

You could create a new directory outside of the cgi-bin and chmod it the same as the cgi-bin so it can run scripts. Put your script and applet in there and give it a try.

Have you tried calling the applet in the /public_html from the script by using ../applet.jar or ../applet.class? Or even /home/username/public_html/applet.jar?

ACK! You actually think I read the documentation??? No no no! I never read the destructions! Ok, maybe not never, but rarely...hehe. I usually beat my head against it till I figure out what it does. That's more fun that way! hehehe

Oh my! Termites and Hammers! I'll HAVE to go check it out!

No problem. I used to do the same thing with my NT server except I could actually have a GUI that said deny directory listing instead of saying deny index. Just a bit of different terminolgy (spelling?).

The only other thing I did have a problem with was the SSI #includes. I ended up trying what it said in the readme, was using a .php3 file and do a php include instead and it worked perfectly. Just in case anyone else tries to use this and has the same problems.

I think what he means is he doesn't want an index on the images directory. You can do that through the index manager. Go to your cpanel and click on Index manager under Site Management. Find the folder you wish to not list what files are in it and click on the name of the folder, not the icon next to it. Then choose No Indexes and click save. Viola! If someone goes to http://www.******/images, they will be denied a directory listing. Now just take off the password protection and you can still link to images from that directory only if you know the image name.
