Thanks very much for your help.

Hi. Just wondering where I could access the Server Logs for my account . Thanks for your help!

It seems to have made no difference whatsoever, which is a bit odd.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

My browser definetely accepts cookies. On these forums (the totalchoicehosting support forums), it does not show the session variable suffix (s=2349u3o4hfaseklhsdfalkh or whatever). So it must be something different in the configuration of mine!

TCH-David -> I had a look at that topic, and I tried changing my cookie domain to .blue-flame.net (my domain name), and leaving everything else blank, and it didn't make a difference. What I'm looking for is a setting that means that the session variables don't have to be included in the URL for every link, as it means that links posted no longer work! The forums here also don't automatically have me logged in, despite me selecting that setting.

No, my old server was run completely by someone else, I had very limited access. Yes, it is IPB 1.3.1 -> the setting must be changed on the totalchoicehosting forums as well, as there is no session variable (or perhaps it's IPB 2).

I've now transferred my forums to my totalchoicehosting account. On my old forums, the URLs didn't have the session suffixes, and these were automatically included. Some of the links on my forums now do not work, because on totalchoice hosting it seems to require that the session variables are attached and visible, and have to be manually attached to each link that I add. Is there any way to change this back to the old settings?

Ok, thanks anyway, I guess I will have to do some work manually

This was the only one I could find there: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/14141.html And it has no reviews, and it's rating isn't especially good. Could you have a look at it for me?

Is there a well-known script that can do this?

I see now, didn't understand the whole rotation thing. Your customer services never ceases to amaze me, I'm very glad I chose totalchoice hosting. Thanks again One further question -> is it possible to do the same with files on your server?

But why do you need weekly backups if you're already doing daily backups? --> Or are you in fact not doing daily backups? I'm confused

So does the script automatically do weekly backups as well, even if you don't set the Cron Jobs for a weekly backup? Sorry about the mass of idiotic n00b questions, you've been great answering them

One further question - so are you meant to configure when the script is to run through "Cron Jobs" or in the script itself? There seem to be some settings in the script as to when it should run, but I have been told to use Cron Jobs. Could this be cleared up? Thanks:D

I'm now getting this error. Do I need to set up a mail program?

I'm getting this error: mkdir: cannot create directory `/backups': Permission denied What permission settings to I need to change, and what to?

2. a. Do I need a cron job to make the script work normally? Or is it just to test it. b. What command should I use to run the script? Thanks

Thanks. Two things: 1. Should I rename the file, removing the .2.2 extension at the very end (it seems to imply it in the script)? 2. I've put the file in my root directory, having set the settings. Is there any way I can test it?

Is there any way to set your MySQL database to automatically back itself up every few days (and put the backup in an unaccessible directory on your web-space)? Thanks

Hi. I'm currently using IPB 1.3 on another host. I want to transfer my database onto my TotalChoice hosting account. However, you only seem to provide IPB 1.2. Is there any way you could: 1. Install IPB 1.3 on my account If that is impossible, is it possible to: 2. Alter the database so that it can be used by phpBB software. or 3. Alter the database so that it can be used with IPB 1.2. Thanks

Thanks very much

Thanks . Where should I put my .htaccess file (I didn't have one to begin with)? Is it OK to have it in the root directory?

I don't know what your policy is on changing php.ini settings, but I have a request that register_globals be turned "off" for server 103. Hundreds of PHP security guides on the net cite this as one of the main potential PHP security vulnerabilities, and possibly the most reliable source, the PHP Security Consortium, mentions it first in its guide to security risks. http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/1.html One accidental omission of a definition can open up a whole site, and with register_globals off, this isn't discovered until it is too late. Indeed, register_globals is switched off by default in versions of PHP from 4.2 onwards. I hope that this can be effected. Thanks

I think I know what I did wrong earlier, it works fine now. Thanks
