Sorry... Doh! Thanks for the quick reply, I can stop strugling with it now and give up with confidence. :-) Cheers Paul

Anyone here got any ideas or experience with installing WebGUI on TCH? So far I've been able to install all sorts of scripts on my webspace but I can't even understand the installation instructions for WebGUI let alone follow them. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. Thanks Paul Here's the contents of install.txt >################################################################## # Quick And Dirty Install Instructions # ################################################################## The following is a rough overview of how to install WebGUI. For more detailed instructions read the WebGUI installation documentation. http://plainblack.com/installation QnD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Install Perl 5.6.x or greater. 2. Install the following Perl modules: LWP DBI DBD::mysql Digest::MD5 Date::Calc HTML::Parser Archive::Tar Compress::Zlib IO::Zlib SOAP::Lite Cache::Cache Image::Magick (optional) 3. Install Apache (preferably with mod_perl) and set up your config. If you are using Apache 2, see the additional instructions below. 4. Install MySQL. 5. Extract WebGUI into your webroot. 6. Run the following Database commands. (You should modify the commands to match your database, username, and password.) mysql -e "create database WebGUI" mysql -e "grant all privileges on WebGUI.* to webgui@localhost identified by 'password'" mysql -e "flush privileges" mysql -uwebgui -ppassword WebGUI < docs/create.sql 7. Edit "etc/WebGUI.conf" to match your DB settings and log directory. 8. Run the following command from your WebGUI/sbin directory to determine whether you've configured your system correctly. perl testEnvironment.pl If it returns all "OK" then you're done. The default admin account info is "Admin" and "123qwe". ################################################################## # Apache 2/mod_perl 1.99+ Additional Instructions # ################################################################## In order to get WebGUI to run under Apache 2, several files need to be modified after you have completed all of the steps above. 1. In "sbin/preload.perl", comment out the following mod_perl 1 line: # use Apache::Registry (); 2. Uncomment the next line: use ModPerl::Registry (); 3. In "www/index.pl", comment out the following line: # $webguiRoot = ".."; 4. Uncomment the next line, making sure to change this to your own full path to WebGUI: $webguiRoot = "/data/WebGUI";

Thanks a loads for taking the time and effort to help me. I can access my website through my domain name already (from here anyway) although my test email from an external webmail account hasn't arrived yet but I'm guessing that it's just a matter of time for the dust to settle. Again, thank you very much. Regards Paul

Done it! I simply entered NS1+NS2etc into the fields and that was that. Simple :-) Currently when I type in my domain name my old website is not available and my web forwarding has stopped, I this is normal right? I guess it's just a matter of waiting.... Is there anything else I need to do, such as contact TCH or something? Just for the record I'm STILL waiting for a response from Easily! If I move my domain to another registrar should I expect any downtime? Much thanks for the help I've so far received. Sorry for being such a noob Cheers Paul

Awesomely quick response!!! BRAVO I'll get on with that right away. Many thanks Paul

I have a domain name (aberkarate.co.uk) registered with easily.co.uk and up till now it's been pointing to a "virtual server" on the easily's own servers. Not having had much luck with their email support (ie. asking specific direct questions but only getting vague answers) I thought that perhaps one of you folks could help me. I've uploaded my website to TCH (http://66.36.229.134/~ubxgufct/) and now want to set my domain name to point to it. Am I likely to need to provide them with any info other than DNS info NS1.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM NS2.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM Their Control Panel vaguely mentions something about ANAME records for domain names - Would I need to enter my TCH IP address address (66.36.229.134)? How would I get it to point to my account (~ubxgufct)? Do I need to mess around with ANAME records at all? I ask because having done a forum search for setting up DNS folks are usually told that entering their NS1+NS2. is sufficient. I'm suspicious that Easily are just over complicating things (ok, maybe it's just me as I've never done this kind of thing before). Further down the same page in the Control Panel it has a place where I can enter DNS info Is this all I need to do? Sorry if this seems long winded but Easily have confused the hell out of me and their customer service is appaulling. I hope I've found the right home here with TCH. Thanks Paul

thanks for the quick response I couldn't get it to work so I've sent a ticket... currently waiting for a response. I've browsed this family forum, you seem to be a very helpfull bunch. I have to say it's the main reason I chose to host with TCH. If I can get this issue (and another regarding PHPBB) sorted I'll be well chuffed. cheers

In my process of sorting out my new webspace and familiarising myself with cpanel I seem to have somehow deleted my ".htaccess" When I first set things up typing in my address (http://66.36.229.134/~ubxgufct/) would jump me straight to my index.htm home page but now I get a "page cannot be found" error. If I type the full page address (http://66.36.229.134/~ubxgufct/index.htm) then it seems to work. I am completely unfamiliar with how this file works as my old provider didn't seem to offer access to it. So really what I'm asking is is there any way I can download or re-create my .htaccess file? and if so how? thanks in advance Paul
