Ok, my apologies - I temporarily uploaded a different page to that directory. I found what the problem was though. Putting the followin in .htaccess fixed it: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes AddType application/x-httpd-CGI .CGI AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html Thanks very much for your help! Greg

Have tried all of these: "ssi.txt" "/ssi.txt" "./ssi.txt" all with the same result. Any other ideas? Thanks again. Greg

Greetings, Ok, I know this is proabably going to be something really stupid that I am doing wrong. I am trying to create a "header" for a group of pages using the SSI "Include" directive. (I have a test setup at www.gregorycain.net/ssitest). The code for the 'index.html' page is: <html> <head> <title>test of ssi</title> </head> <body> This is the doc <p> <!--#include virtual="./ssi.txt"--> </body> </html> The code for the included 'ssi.txt' page is: <p> This is the include. When I go to this page, I get the "This is the doc" text but not the "This is the include." text. I've tried using "#include file" instead of "#include virtual" and excluding the "./" at the beginning of the file reference. Always comes back the same way. I've also placed a .htaccess in the folder with the following: Options +Includes Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Greg

Funny! I'm in the process of migrating my (30) users from IE/OE to Firefox/Thunderbird right now. We have a Saving document server that stores in PDF, and I'm noticing FEWER problems with PDF's in Firefox than we were having with IE! Greg

Greetings, I started using Thunderbird several months ago at home, as I usually 'guinea-pig' software I'm considering installing on user's machines at the office. Based on my experience I'm in the process of migrating my users to Thunderbird (from OE) because it's cost effective, has more and better address book options, is a lot more secure and deals with attachments better. (I've never used Outlook as we don't utilize an Exchange server). I spend less time solving my user's email problems now. My users who have Thunderbird seem pretty happy with it - certainly none of them miss OE. My average user doesn't seem to notice any real difference, and from my perspective, that's a GOOD thing. The only problems I have with it in the office occur when I miss something in configuring it - there are a LOT more configuration options with it than with OE, and their access is not quite as intuitive. I also use the Sunbird calendar. Sunbird is available as either an extension to Thunderbird or as a stand-alone executable. It works pretty well for sharing information through webDAV, which I have set up on our intranet (Apache) server. It does not have notes but does have a task list, which I use for both purposes. Sunbird is a relativly young project, and there are still some bugs, but it's growing quickly enough and has become useable enough that I've been installing that at the office for some users as well. Hope this is helpful. Greg

Thanks for your response, and sorry for the 'cross-post'. I'm not married to Norton, in fact I'm using AVG at home and I love it. Any suggestions for other email-checking anti-virus solutions that may behave better? Thanks, Greg

Greetings, I seem to be having this problem a lot with Norton AntiVirus lately. I have the 2003 release installed on one user's system. There is a "prevent server time out" option, which I have checked. I also have the option checked that tells Norton to try to repair an infected file and if unable to just delete it. But Norton doesn't do that. It puts a message up on the user's screen that tells him he has an infected file, and then his connection to the TCH email server times out, so he is unable to retrieve his mail. I then have to go to webmail and try to determine which message contains the infected file. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas about a solution? (Also posting this in the email section). Thanks. Greg

First, thanks to you all for doing all you do to keep things running smoothly. Too bad this had to happen, but I know from first hand experience that dealing with AOL is a never ending frustration. Ok - stupid question here. What I get from this discussion is that ONLY forwarders set up in CPanel will be trashed. If someone sends an email to an AOL account, or if someone manually forwards an email message to an AOL account there will be no problem. Do I have that right? Thanks for your indulgence.

Greetings, I have several users who would like to be able to transfer files to/from their consultants via FTP. I've tried setting up an FTP site here, but my connections seem to be problematic - sometimes I can log on, sometimes not. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is just sort of an unstable process. If I go to cpanel and set up "files" as an ftp site, using the sub-domain "files.domain.com", and I then point my browser to "ftp://files.domain.com", I get directed to some other place at the site. If I then right-click on the window (in IE, as that is likely to be what most of the people using this site will use), I can log in as "files@domain.com" with the password I've set when I set up the FTP account. But if I do that, then anyone logging on to the site seems to have complete read/write access. I'd like to set it up so that different users can log on to the same area of the site, but with different permissions. Can anyone give me a good step-by-step as to the best way to set this up? Any help would be very much appreciated. I'll buy you a cyber-beer. Thanks much in advance. Greg

Greetings, I'm curious to know if there is a way to have the mail server "drop" incoming messages with certain attachments (the usual - .exe, .pif, .vbs, etc.) Any help with this would be much appreciated! Thanks. Greg
-
Yes, I'd be very interested in reading your tutorial! Please do post it. If you'd rather not do the translation to English, go ahead and post the Spanish version - I can have it translated. Also, if you wouldn't mind, please post here when you have it uploaded. Thanks very much! Greg

Dave (& all): Right - I want to do streaming of .mp3 files, not downloading. I realize that it's possible to save streaming audio to ones hard drive, but it takes a little more effort and I'm trying as much as possible to prevent this stuff from being copied. Thanks much for the tip. Greg
-
Greetings, Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set up streaming audio from my web sites here at TCH? (I already know how to create the mp3, wav etc. files) Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Greg

TCH rocks. My experience has been 100% positive. I put my "vanity" site here to see how things would work out, and I'm impressed enough that I'm going to begin to put clients sites here. I will probably end up purchasing a re-selling package - business is good. Keep up the excellent work! Regards, Greg

aawwww.... you made me blush Greg

Greetings: Congratulations to us - it definitely feels like an "us" here. I'm pointing all new clients in this directions. Greg

Greetings: As a musician and holder of several registered copyrights, I've always found this dicussion fascinating. Sit back, close your eyes, and imagine how it feels when you find out that someone is selling a CD that contains YOUR copyrighted material without your knowing it was ever even recorded! Can't quite understand it? Ok, say one day your car is stolen, and then the next day the person who stole it tries to sell it back to you. I have the most amazing discussions with people about the concept of intellectual property and the most important thing I've learned from them is that it's really, really pointless to argue with idiots. For the record, downloading "pirated" music or software is stealing, and it doesn't matter what you think or how you feel things "should" be - it's stealing according to the law, and it's a good law. Maybe you don't agree with the law or maybe you're ok with breaking the law - that's ok, but it's still the law. I ride a motorcycle that is very fast and I break the law all the time. Who's fault is it if I get a ticket? The bottom line is, "I will take responsibility for my own actions." My advice is, "Don't Steal." It's crappy karma. There's a thread on another forum here that was started by a former subscriber who is upset because he was kicked for tranferring warez. He's funny. Should there be a law that says someone can "destroy" your computer? I remember someone saying once, "Burning the American flag is dumb. The only thing dumber would be passing a law that says you can't." Orring Hatch is a musician??? This is the most amazing thing about this whole thread. Love, Greg pontification>

Greetings: Thanks to everyone for your kind and helpful replies. I'll post in the appropriate forum when I have the pages online. Greg

Tracy: Thanks for the information. I do have access to DW 4.0 which I believe has the same feature - I do all my coding by hand, so I'm not sure. I enjoyed your site, by the way. My father lives in the Wet Mountains, southeast of you, in the opposite corner of the state. I haven't had the opportunity to take a lot of pictures there, but I can see the possibilities. Thanks again, and good luck with your site. Greg

Hey, thanks for both answers! Actually, the pages you are viewing are not the ones with the script - the pages currently online are simply html docs. I'm pleased you like them though - thanks much for the tips and the positive feedback. Greg

Greetings, I'm working on some pages that have some fairly large photographs that are pre-loaded with javascript. I'm guessing that if a visitor tries to access the photo before the image fully downloads that an error will be generated by the browser. The problem is this: I have a broadband connection and I don't know how these pages will behave when being accessed by people with slower connections. Is there any way to simulate a slower connection while connected via a cable or DSL connection? Thanks in advance for your help. Greg

I was using Horde - I like it better. I never moved the mail out of the 'inbox'. I tried the 'unseen' thing and that did not work this afternoon. Tonight, however, when I logged in it DID download. Could it be it didn't download this afternoon because I was logged in to webmail and through another computer with a regular email client at the same time? Anyway, problem solved. Thanks very much for your responses! Greg

Greetings: Today I had a dead computer. Prior to resurrecting it, I was reading/sending email online with web mail. I'd now like to download the messages to my computer, but the client doesn't get the messages. How do I get them to download? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Greg

Well, I'm really not sure why it's not working for me the same way it is for Li and Curtis. When I go to ftp://myfiles:mypassword@****, I wind up with ftp://****/ in the address bar, **** listed as the server and myfiles listed as the user name in IE. I then right-click in the window and select login as. The defaul there is, sure enough, the user name myfiles and no password listed. If I enter myfiles@**** and the password I get to the right folder. Interestingly, the address bar says I'm at ftp://****@****, Server: **** and User Name myfiles@****. At least I AM getting to the proper place now, and I am able to upload and download files, but it seems like something must still be wrong because neither Curtis' nor Li's suggestions are working in this situation. If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be great to hear them. Thanks again. Greg
