I have another website that's not hosted from TCH. I'm trying to run a script on that website that connects to a database I have on our TCH account. Instead of 'localhost' I used server52.totalchoicehosting.com. Its giving me this error, w/ our username blanked of course. Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user '******'@'64.49.***.***' (using password: YES) in /index.php on line 278 Could not connect: Access denied for user '********'@'64.49.***.***' (using password: YES) How can I do this?

I had already done this. Didn't work. Any other takers on the htaccess question?

I'm writing a php script that needs to create files in a single directory. The format of the files would be something like /cache/ce37925d2912fc54927f566048280851.html. The bit code after /cache/ is a randomly generated name for the file. The file does not exist before. How can I set just the cache directory to allow php the ability to create new files?

Why is it that SSL certificates are so expensive? If they are just randomly generated keys, why aren't they a lot cheaper?

I need to add a SSL certificate to one our sites. I will likely be purchasing the certificate from GoDaddy.com. I need to know what the installation fee and other costs are here, what process needs to be done for it, and if I need to make any coding changes to our site http://www.lpfunding.com. I was referred to the help forums after submitting a helpdesk ticket.

yeah, that was it. I had both email accounts AND forwarders setup. I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive. Thanks for the help.

Ok, I have a webmail app called Just Another Webmail installed. It works well, using IMAP. However, we have several addresses for our corporate site forwarding to our employee's 3rd party email addresses. The forwarding works well, but we've now got reports that messages are bouncing from the company addresses. When I checked their inboxes, the forwarded messages are not being deleted from the server. I know that if I was using POP3 sessions, I could set aging to like 1 day. However, since we're using IMAP, how can I arrange to have messages on these forwarded accounts automatically delete so their mailboxes don't fill up??

I think I found another client I like. Where can I find the pop3/imap or relevant mail server info for totalchoice needed to configure it?

thanks for the quick replies everyone. I'll look into the best solution for us. Charles

We're just migrating our web services to total choice. We have moved about 200 of our agent email addresses from our old host to here and I'm trying to setup an easy to use webmail interface for them. We only want them to use one interface, not two. We dont have the support staff resources to spend answering email questions all day. By default, when you log into webmail you get either the Horde or Squirrelmail options. Of the two, we prefer Horde's interface better. However, Horde is too complicated for our users and we are looking to make it a bit simpler to use. Like to delete files, you have to delete, then move them to the deleted folder. That's just silly. Ideally, the setup would be that if they go to http://webmail.****, it would prompt them to log in. Once logged in, it goes directly to the Inbox screen in Horde. Bypass the options to choose language and such. Another problem is that when the agents log out, it brings you to the login screen that then gives you the option to use Squirrelmail. We want to only be able to go to Horde. So, is there a way to customize Horde the way we want, or has someone had success installing a 3rd party webmail client on their website? If so, can you recommend some to try?

I've setup a new secondary domain, gallery.thetechgurus.net. I have a sub-site located at www.thetechgurus.net/nycpics/gallery. I want it to be so that if you go to gallery.thetechgurus.net, it will load the info for the sub-site. However, I would like to have the address list as gallery.thetechgurus.net/nycpics/gallery instead of www.thetechgurus.net... What do I need to do to accomplish this?

I did it through the subdomain control panel in cpanel. I created the subdomain nycpics.thetechgurus.net. I set the redirection to go to first http://www.thetechgurus.net/nycpics/gallery. I just changed it to redirect to http://nycpics.thetechgurus.net/nycpics/gallery but it does the same thing. If I type http://nycpics.thetechgurus.net it redirects to http://www.thetechgurus.net/nycpics/gallery. Not sure there's any other way I could be doing this.

Ok, that worked great. Anyone have any ideas on the first idea? I'd like to have my subdomain appear as the primary url, not the original domain. Thanks.

I think this problem has a simple solution but I'm at a loss to find it. On my site I want to launch now that its ready, I have a subdomain that points to a directory on the site that has its own application. Its essentiallya sub-site that will be effectively separate from my main site I'll be launching later. Problem is this. If I type in the subdomain, it takes me right in. However, it changes the url to be the full path name of the domain www.thetechgurus.net/.... How can I make it so that the site URL will only show as the format http://subdomain.thetechgurus.net/folder/folder2/. I don't want it to appear as http://www.thetechgurus.net/folder/folder2/. Second problem, which is actually more important. If I type http://www.thetechgurus.net/folder/folder2, the site will load properly. However, if I do http://www.thetechgurus.net/folder/, I see the directories instead of a webpage. This is a security risk and I do not want any users to be able to see this directory since its not supposed to be a valid url path. What I've tried so far was to setup a permanent redirect so that if the url http://www.thetechgurus.net/folder/ were entered, it would redirect that url to the url of the actual path, http://www.thetechgurus.net/folder/folder2/. However, if I do that I get warnings that I have reached the maximum number of redirects and a cookie warning, and I am not able to access the subsite. I have to remove that redirect in order to be able to access the subsite. What is the best way to make that middle directory inaccessible and automatically just go to the full path?

Thanks for the quick responses. Everything seems to be going smoothly now.
