I've been using Moodle for a while, but it's a pain to update when you have to download from there and upload to here and do a complete new install each time; and by their forums it sounds like using CVS would make it a LOT easier. I've seen reference to "if you use cPanel..." before in discussions about it, so I assumed I should be able to, but I don't see anywhere that I have access to a "command line". So, I'm out of luck... Sounds like that's the verdict. Thanks, Dan

OK. That's a good overview... But all I can find is either basic overview info or the instructions at the following URL; what I need is the link in between that explains how to accomplish this within cPanel. WHERE do I enter the command, etc. http://download.moodle.org/cvs/ Thanks, Dan BTW - I really appreciate how helpfull you guys always are!

I didn't realize that was a link at first! Thanks a lot!! Dan

I use an open-source program that has CVS support, but I've never used that and don't even know what it is except that it should make updating the software much easier... Can anyone help me understand what this is and how to set it up? I don't find anying in TCH forums so far, and the info on the website for the software is written for someone that already knows. Thanks, Dan

I just came to search the forum to see if I'm the only one having this problem, and I see that I am not! It's a lot more than 4 instances for me though... over just the last few days I've had HUNDREDS of messages flood my account, all returned mail from different places, coming back as undeliverable, as though they were sent from my domain. This started suddenly, just a few days ago. It's as though someone is sending out SPAM from my domain, using random.names@myacount.com and all the undeliverables are coming back to my default mail account. I saw the reply that this was probably just a tricky way to get a message into my inbox, but it sure seems like more than that. These are coming from so many different places... and it just started over night. Does anyone have any ideas??

The "recordset" is basically the query. Each person and all their data are in an array. What I am doing is displaying everyone with all their data in a table, repeated for each entry. What I'm missing is how to display the name of each person's parent. The parent is in the same array; just a different entry. Each person has an ID#, and so I can display each person with their own ID# among all their data and also their parent ID# (as that's in the same db table row). But I can't figure out how to use that parent ID# and display the parent's NAME using it... Does it require a second query of the same table (at least ID# and name)?

I have a RecordSet from a table full of people, that includes each person's ID#, name, etc. and parent's ID#. I want to display a list of everyone in a Repeat Region, but for each individual I also want the parent's "name" displayed along with the parent's ID#. Do I have to create a second RecordSet from the same table? How do I display the right name?? I'm not seeing how to do this in DreamWeaver(MX)... Maybe I haven't explained my problem well enough, but if you can make sense out of this and know what I'm not seeing, I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks, Dan

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! That's what I missed...

That's the way I did it. I used the cPanel to create the file, and copied the text from above in this forum into the new file right there in cPanel. When you created the sa-learn.cgi file, did you use the text just as it is above, or did you have to change anything? (Other than the four places where "tchaccount" changes to my login name?) And when you changed the user_prefs file, did you change anything in the text from this post? (Other than the one place where "tchaccount" changes to my login name?) I coppied from this forum into the files in cPanel, and then changed those five things. There must be something else I missed... Dan

Is there anyone that's had luck making this work, who might be able to lend some help?? I've been trying and trying, and I just keep getting an "Internal Server Error". I'm sure I'm goofing up something simple, but I don't see it... Dan

If I follow these instructions, am I 'training' SA for the mail that comes to ME? Or am I training SA for the mail that comes to my DOMAIN? It would seem to me that it's for all the mail that comes to the domain... but I just want to be sure. If not, I would set up the other mail accounts and encourage the rest of my family to work on training SA too. Dan

I found this site a few days ago while searching for a php question, and it's helped me a whole lot! There are tutorials for most web design basics, and they are short and to the point, with lots of good info. www.tizag.com Dan

Thanks a lot... you got me through it! serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com was the key. Dan

Well, I thought you could do it! Thanks. I'm still missing something though... I just did what you said, and I'm still getting access denied. Either I'm not naming Domain2 correctly when I add it to the Access Hosts list, or I'm not naming Domain1 correctly as my server in the page I'm making. Would I simply use the domain name in each case, or is there more required? Dan

If I have two domains, and one has a MySQL database, can't I have a page on the other domain that accesses the DB at the first domain??? I thought this was possible, and you substituted the first domain name instead of "LOCALHOST" for the server; but that's not working very well for me... I just need to know if this is possible, so I can stop wasting time trying if it's not. Thanks, Dan

I guess you're right. I'd have to check users OS, and then have a different link for each... I'll just find a script. Know any good ones? Dan

I'm about to look for a php script for a pop-up calculator, probably on HotScripts.com; but I'm wondering... isn't it possible to call up a person's Windows Calculator from a link they can click on? If so, that would seem easier and probably all around better. Thanks, Dan

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be downloading ZenCart to try it out. My idea was to just get up-n-running with PayPal, and then "upgrade" to a WellsFargo account eventually, but I was definately making uninformed decisions... Looks like the "Website Payment Pro" program isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the only other option sends user right to the PayPal site. Don't want that! Thanks all, Dan

OK... risking Information Overload, I went back to Authorize.net. They list oSCommerce as one of their "certified shopping carts". Does this mean that there is a simple way to set up OSC with Authorize.net? Is anyone using this service that can comment on service/cost/etc.? Thanks Dan

Thank you to everyone, for making me feel welcome. I've been reading the posts on the OSC site, and looking into "authorize.net" which was mentioned more than once there. I've reached "Saturation Point", and can't digest any more there... Can anyone simplify all this stuff??? I want to get set up with the ability to take CC transactions for ONE product. I want to get set up as easily and quickly as possible, and not pay more than I need to. I just have to believe that I'm not alone!! Is there a shopping cart / merchant account combination that is relatively quickly set up and easily understandable, that people here would recommend? Are there tutorials that I should search for here at tch? FYI - the website I'm working on is built with phpWebsite, and I have DreamWeaverMX (and all the other Macromedia stuff) for design. If there are things that work well with these, I'd like to hear about them. Our business account is with Wells Fargo, who I've been told has great service for merchant accounts; but I was also told that it would be far more complicated and expensive to start with them than with PayPal. Thanks again for the great atmosphere here at tch, Dan

I finally found reference to shopping carts & SSL, but I still have these questions in my head... 1. If I have only one product to sell, do I still need a "shopping cart"? 2. If I install oSCommerce from the controll pannel, will I be able to easily make the pages required for the purchase "look and feel" like the rest of the site? 3. A previous post implied that if I use the oSCommerce script, that I would not have to pay for an SSL certificate; do I understand that correctly? 3.a. If that's true, will users get a popup warning that the certificate does not match the domain (or something to that effect)? 4. I plan to use PayPal - Website Payments Pro to start out with. Are there any reasons I might not want to do that? (I'm brand new to online pmt, if you haven't picked that up...) Thanks for any help that comes my way, Dan
