Sharepoint services are detailed here. Because the TCH servers are all Linux based, and the sharepoint services required Windows Server 2003, I believe that it is not supported.

The best way that I have found to test speeds is to do pings/traces consistently (say every few hours) over the course of a week or two. Depending how much work you want to do you can try charting this information in Excel; although I do not know an easy way to do it. Or just try to get a feel. If I were going to do this I'd choose several sites to do this at, in several areas of the country and even overseas. Make sure you do them at the same time/within the same time frame or you won't have a really good, controlled experiment. That is the only way that I know to do this, really. There may be software that will be able to automate this charting for you, but I haven't really researched that area. I suggest utilizing traceroute as well so that if there are speed differences you can note WHERE they are. A speed difference in sprint backbone router is different than a speed difference at the end site, as far as controllability goes. I hope that helps. =)

Moved to tutorials section. Thank you, wigoweb.

I can't speak on reliability, I've never used it, but here are instructions for getting it to publish to your TCH hosted account. =) Just to clarify, the publishing system will be hosted at their servers, but it will publish your updates to your own server if you tell it to. Hope that helps!

I don't see this behavior in firefox or IE on the pc; no horizontal scroll in either frame...

There are several, here's a short list of ones that I know about. Installed locally... Wordpress MovableType Textpattern Drupal Pmachine ExpressionEngine Radio Userland Remotely hosted... Livejournal - embeddable into site if paying Blogger There are also an absolute ton of scripts at Hotscripts. If you host it locally, there is always going to be some requirement of installing the scripts and customizing it; even remotely there is going to be customizaton you want to do. Of these I have used wordpress, mT and livejournal. Livejournal was the easiest but it is very lacking in control since it's remotely hosted; even with the locally embedded option. Wordpress was the easiest to install; but textpattern is supposedly fairly easy as well. I've also used Radio Userland but switched away quickly as it has a host of problems and pretty shoddy support. However it's very, very easy for basic weblogging. I hope that helps to get you started.

Are you getting the popup box similar to the rebuild popup, but says: and then has a confirmation button? If not, it sounds like your popup blocker and/or zone alarm are causing you problems again. =)

*shuffles feet* aw heck, it was my pleasure.

You could use subdomains instead; then if it takes off well enough, split it off to a new account with it's own domain name. =)

You can have a parked domain; that is, both domains will point to the same website. If you want different websites you'll need another account, or a reseller's account. Does that help?

Fixed during conversation on Yahoo; ending problem was due to Zone Alarm & Popup blocking software.

Have you modified anything in the templates section? Are they all set to rebuild? Are you getting any errors on rebuild? What if you go to templates -> Main Index, and under that it says "rebuild this page"; if you rebuild that one specifically, does anything change? BTW: If you want to contact me via IM we may be able to work through this more quickly. =)

the name of the blog has nothing to do with the output paths. It is only the paths and URL that matters. You can point it to whatever folders that you want to. If you ftp in to the server and go to the blog directory, do you see any files there?

Did you rebuild after making all these changes? =) Also, there should be no slash after mt.cgi in your mt.cfg. Just http://www.yoursite.com/mt/mt.cgi =) It's a file, not a directory. Hope that helps!

Ok. The url and path's need to match in a way. If your path is pointing to /home/username/public_html/blog then your url needs to be http://www.******/blog/ Same for archives, if the path is /home/username/public_html/blog/archives/ then the url needs to be http://www.******/blog/archives. Do you see the relationship? Now, I also need to know what URL you are using to access mt.cgi and what URL you have put into your mt.cfg for yoru CGIPath. If you can clarify those we can get all of this cleared up. =) oh! I missed the last part; MT can not delete files from the server, only from the database. So you need to ftp in and manually delete any files you created. But there's really no need to keep creating and deleting weblogs; we can modify the settings until we get it working. =)

You would be best to contact sales via a support ticket to get this upgraded.

Dark Angel, in the code supplied, the very first / tells it to look from the root directory. From what I understand of shtml (that isn't very much, I'm a php gal =) ) the full URL is not allowed due to security issues.

The username and password supplied in the welcome email is for access to your cpanel and ftp. There isn't any database when you first create your account; you need to create that yourself from cpanel. If you login to cpanel and go to Manage MySql you'll need to first add a db, and then add a user, then finally grant access for that user to that database. It's pretty easy to do in cpanel. That screen will then reflect your database name and username for you to use. Does that help?

I have used EasyMOD but not to install this particular one. I did check the readme and it says EasyMod compatible. I had a look through the EasyMod forums and found this link where the person had a problem installing this plugin. I also found this thread which is 3 pages long and has some details. This particular mod is fairly complicated, and if you have installed many other mods than easymod may simply not work to install this one. This last thread listed above states that but it does have some things to check. I hope that helps with your troublehooting.

Files are only created upon rebuilding, either of that file, that archive type or the entire weblog. So look to the left, the menu, towards the bottom of it is "rebuild"; choose "rebuild entire site" and then it should appear. =) Nothing is every changes until a rebuild is completed. Hope that helps!

Topics merged for organization due to similarity. =)

If you want a blog to appear at http://www.yoursite.com/test/ then this is how it should be: locate site url: http://www.yoursite.com/test/ locate site path: /home/username/public_html/test/ archive site url: http://www.yoursite.com/test/archives/ archive site path: /home/username/public_html/test/archives/ You'll need to create the test directory and test/archives directory via ftp; MT sometimes chokes on that part. Does that help you out?

MT has trouble creating directories occasionally; specifically from the core weblog config you need to have made those directories yourself. It will flawlessly create the files though. You haven't mentioned WHERE you want your blog to show up under your domain. IF you want it at the top level (ie http://www.yoursite.com/) then The local site url you enter should be http://www.yoursite.com/ and the local site path should be /home/username/public_html/ Does that help?

Oh! I'm sorry, today appears to be 'one of those days' *blushes* Glad you got it working. =)
