It is already installed on TCH. You wouldn't be able to install it yourself anyway, as you require shell access to install it, to my knowledge.

I'm not really sure about this one; I haven't seen this particular error before. But I'm going to move this to the appropriate forum and I'm sure someone will be by soon that can help. =)

It doesn't sound stupid. It can be quite a lot to get a site up and going. There are a few things you need to get started. You need to purchase a hosting plan, and you need to purchase a domain and set it's nameservers to the addresses given in your welcome email. I am not sure what you have so far. Another one of our new family members is going through the initial learning stages of getting a site running and there are some great tips and links in this thread that I'd suggest you go through.

That's excellent that you have that book - I like that tutorial because it assumes no prior knowledge with HTML. You mentioned that a lot of the tutorials assumed some knowledge so I thought that tutorial, in particular, might help ya out a bit. =)

There is a great, step by step guide to starting your very first website here. I'd read over that as it goes far more into depth than we really can here, then come back here with any further questions. =)

Insofar as file manager goes for uploading; I don't use it because I find it is terrible for managing scripts. If you have an ftp program I'd use that and make sure that it's uploading in ASCII mode. That's not a bad thing, but that's not an error with the script, per se - it just means that the cronjob can't FIND the script to execute it. So, if you want to paste what you put in for the path in your cronjob, and where you actually uploaded the script, we can help you troubleshoot from there. At a guess from your previous errors it's probably something like /home/username/public_html/MTpop2blog.pl where username is your cpanel name.

You can get that error when trying to run a script from the browser that won't runn; I know because I had a similar problem with a script. =) The only way to test it then is to see if it works - send an email to it and set it to check every 5-10 minutes while you're troubleshooting it. Make sure that cron has your email address as it will email errors (it will NOT email on success without errors). Hope that helps!

Well, three things. 1) I'm not sure that this script is meant to be run from the browser - some are not and will return a 500 error even if they'd work when run with cron. So you may be troubleshooting this for no reason; however. =) 2) Try changing the permissions to 755. 3) Go to cpanel and check out the error log and see what it's saying to you. =)

Google actually has this pretty well covered. This search, for instance: how to make a little picture in the address bar? So you don't really need to know what it's called... Note: we love answering these questions, I'm not trying to make you go away Just pointing out that if you'd rather not wait for an answer, you don't necessarily need to know the name of what you want to find out how to do it. =)

Just put n/a for the id and password, it's ok. The system won't spank ya. I think that this can be done, just from seeing other threads I remember it coming up before; but it may be a case-by-case basis thing so best to talk to the help desk about your requirements. =)

Well, the instructions are here. It can remain .pl. It says it gets uploaded to your home directory. I'da thought that was alongside mt.cgi but home directory technically means the root of your site, sort of. It's confusing. Yes, it requires a cron job to execute. 4) I do not believe so. Hope that helps. =)

In the family members section. =)

That would probably also mean that you wouldn't get the response from the help desk. You said you checked the filters - did you use the email on this account? It's usually better to ouse a non-domain related account; although you are just requesting an addition. Did you check your spambox, just in case?

I'm not really great with .htaccess - but I'm thinking that the line above it says to ignore .htaccess. Someone else will need to step in and say something though; or you could try removing that line and see if it helps. =)

Your best bet if you need that much space would be to submit a ticket to the Help Desk directed at sales. I think that what you would need is a dedicated server witih additional space added. But you should talk to them about that privately; as I don't believe there are any dedicated servers available at the moment.

Are you sure that you're using the same cases (ie: no capslock etc)? Other than that, it is hard to say. The mods here don't have access to the servers so you'd be best to talk to the Help Desk staff and see if they have any ideas. =)

If you forget your password you need to submit a ticket to the Help Desk to get it reset. They'll ask you for some information to verify that you're the real owner and then reset it for you once it all checks out. =)

You don't, all of these instructions are for doing things on people's home computers - as per the subject: .htaccess problems for the server on my computer. =)

To run mt-check.cgi just browse to the same place you'd go to mt.cgi and use mt-check.cgi - all in your browser. I hope that made sense. =)

Most of the big, major sites do not validate. =) As far as mobile phones go, most of the phones I've seen advertised say they have xHTML support so it may be worthwhile to use xHTML. But I'm not really sure - I don't have a phone version.

yes, the cpanel -> cpanel moves are the easiest; they move everything over then you may just need to update some config files to get them working. (paths, etc) - as far as MT, if you're using MySQL it should not be a problem.

Dida, In the weblog config for the problematic weblog, what do you have set for your local site path, local site URL, local archive path, and local archive URL?

*grins* I don't know about Scoop; I can't afford a dedicated server and have no need for one.

phpBB autopruning: Admin Panel -> Administration (Under the heading of Forum Admin on the left) -> Edit the forum of choice -> Untick "Enabled" to the right of "Auto-Pruning". I like the simple PunBB and MiniBB personally; but I don't run a forum currently; I'm waiting on one to be integrated with the CMS I use. =)

There are scripts like that, your best bet is to take on the arduous task of going to hotscripts.com -> php -> scripts -> image galleries and browsing through. There's about 15 pages (20 per page) which is why I say arduous, but you should find something there that suits your needs. =)
