I was happy to see that the old file manager was still there too. I'm sure that the new one is great, and I'll start using it too, but this weekend, I had a lot of edits to do on a couple of sites, and I was getting used to a new computer that I installed Friday night. All those changes at once was a little too much. There are a lot things that I really like about the new cPanel. Thank you Total Choice!!!!

Mysql Error : Table 'xxxxx' Already Exists
Bob Crabb replied to rnmcd's topic in CPanel and Site Maintenance
If there are any rows in the table, then clicking on the icon to the left of the table name will display the rows. Clicking on the table name will display the structure. -
During the last few days of June, I noticed that my bandwidth consumption had taken a sharp rise on a site where I have a very active phpBB2 forum. Since the forum had been more active than normal, I really didn't think much about it at first. Normally the site sees bandwidth consumption of 200 - 300 MB per day, but now it was using well over 1GB/day. Looking into AWstats, I saw that Googlebot was eating about 1GB/day. Good grief!!! I started doing research on this forum, and on others about how to slow it down. I have had the forum for almost two years, and most of the script was already disallowed in my robots.txt. Checking the latest visitor log, I noticed something interesting. Googlebot was looking at a script called calendar.php, and was methodically looking at every day in the calendar over a 10 year period. About a month before, I had added a calendar mod to the forum, and had NOT added calendar.php to the disallow list in robots.txt. Problem solved, I thought. Adding it to robots.txt had no effect. I even went so far as to disallow all files, which had no effect. I was about to block googlebot from the site altogether via cPanel, but instead decided to ban the googlebot IP address from the forum. That worked!!! After all bot activity subsided, I restored access to the rest of the site via robots.txt, and after a week, removed the googlebot IP addy from the forum banned IP list. Everything seems to be back to normal now. This site is set up in an account where I normally have plenty of extra bandwidth, so I wasn't too concerned about going over the limit, but I recently set up a phpBB2 forum with a calendar mod on another site that has a much more modest bandwidth allotment, and I was very concerned about something similar happening on that site. Anyway, I now at least think that I know how to deal with it.

You're welcome MovieMan; I'm glad that worked for you. IE can be a pain sometimes.

Try putting a space in the July anchor: >change <a name="july"></a> to <a name="july"> </a> I think that will make it work in IE

There have been a lot of releases lately. It's good to see that the WP folks stay on top of the security issues.
