I went to the cPanel Login page also, carefully ready your email and make sure you enter the correct username and password since the are case sensitive,that should have been in an e-mail they sent when you first signed up for an account.It should contain the infomation for your username and password as well as how to use ftp to upload files and folders to your account, you probably entered either the username or password incorrectly or both.

Well it worn't work with MS Access but phpMyAdmin works really well with MySQL which is a open source (free) program but you need to also have PHP (also free) as well installed on your webserver or local server and I just downloaded the new MySQL database tool but haven't used it yet. If you get an account with Xisto you will have all that and easily manipulate your databases.

Do you mean that you want a ccounter that a particular user has that the Administrator can view? Otherwise the way your qestion was written it appears that you want only users (I suppose registered) and Administrators can see, of course you can code just about anything but without some specificity as per your question and what kind of CMS or Forum you might be using it is hard to answer your question with a reasonalbe answer.

When you changed your hard drive that is what told Windows it was on a different machine...this happened to me when I wanted to put XP Home on an different hard drive and use my big hard drive for different pueposes, as far as XP is concerned you took your valid copy and placed it on another machine, I called them and they gave me another key after I told them my key number which was valid.As far as putting in a new drive windows records all the environment, but the hard drive can be anywhere as far as they know so at least give them a call and let them know what you have done and save the headache, there was no charge.It did work when I put it back on the other smaller hard drive, maybe you could use your new hard drive for something else and keep your origional as the OS. This is just what happened to me so you might at least want to give Microsoft a call.

Use Javascript for that kind of stuff. Here's some code for you: <script language="JavaScript"><!--// Script Source: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ audioOn = false;function audioDo(doWhat,toWhat){ if(audioOn){ var A = eval('document.'+toWhat); if (A != null){ if (doWhat=='stop') A.stop(); else{ if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') A.play(); else{ if (document.M == null){ document.M = false; var m; for(m in A) if (m == "ActiveMovie"){ document.M = true; break; } } if (document.M) A.SelectionStart = 0; if (document.M) A.play(); } } } }}//--></script> And here is a link to where it came from get the kit and you can play around with it till you get what you want, then all you need is to get a bunch of sounds to go with the events. I used to do that with static web pages but am more into PHP and so forth. but hope that gets you started. This script can be found in its entirety right at this link to sound kit Look Almost all the way down the page and find the Essential Tricks category and look for the JavaScript Sound Download Kit and you should have more than you need to accomplish your task.

Most all sites that use PHP use such schemes to kick certain IPs off the site usually forums and CMS need this to keep abusive people off the site. PHP-Nuke, Mamba Xoops, Invision, PHPbb, and many other such systems already track the IPs and if necessary the administrator can ban that IP...How do you think people get banned from these forums, it is not by their user name necessarily but the IP.

Go to the phpMyAdmin in the cPanel and then select your database, the click the export text link and then when prompted tell it to save as file using the predifined defaults. Then go to your other database phpMyAdmin on trap 17 and then either create a new database (preferred) and click the SQL link and then search your local machine for the file you created above and click it. This will create the tables and fill then with the information that you have on your Xisto acount. Pretty simple HUH?

I am not sure with the version of ws_ftp you have but you should beable to right click the filename you need to alter and look for file permisssions or properties then either enter 777 or check all the boxes which gives you read write and execution permission for THAT filename, don't give this permisssion to all your files for security purposes. Or get FileZilla ftp (which is free) and makes these operations simple as shown above but ws_ftp should accomplish that some way or another.

phpBB is free open source and also available here as as Xisto user.It is also the forum used by the PHP-Nuke CMS which is also free, of course if you only go to sites that give you a little package then suit yourself.I have been using forums since 1999 with Mercury Board and Invision (when it was free until September of 2004) and phpBB, PUNbb, Yabb, YabbSE (now SMF), and more.

Did the error occur whilst using phpMyAdmin or did it occur after you applied the new fields into a table?Are the new fields 'name`, `folder`, `regatt`, `magicatt`, `magicdef` actually in the table?

Looking closely at your post I think I know why your text file can not be found. Here is the error that you quoted from the post... That tell me that the program is looking for a file named members.txt that is in the following location http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (the domain) in the subdirectory of cookie_login which is a subdirectory of the cgi-bin, which to me is not normal. The file cookie_login is the name of a file that you have in your cgi-bin right? And it is supposed to get called somehow and then act on the members,txt file which in turn looks for those that have had a cookie set by the cookie_login.cgi or cookie_login.pl, but the problem here is that the cgi-bin is not part of the public_html (they are seperate directorys), you are going straight to that filein the cgi-bin which is out of the web space (public_html). I do know enough about perl to see how you need to set up the file so it will work for you. I would look at possibly using a database instead of just cookies (people can turn them off) and use sessions, but of course that is up to you. I will go to the site you mentioned an see what the script is supposed to do and where you need to set the members.txt file and how to call the cookie_login.cgi or .pl.

I dont use Zone Alarm anymore I use PC Cillin but I kinda remember how it works, and you dhould have a menu for firewall settings and somewhere you should have a tab for exceptions or allowed sites, programs etcetera. There you should be given the option of either typing in the IP address of another computer or its NAME If you know the name then just type it in lets say the compters name is DESKTOP first type in DESKTOP and if that doesn't resolve try \\DESKTOP, but that might not be it if you have windows SP with SP2 then you also have a Windows firewall and the procedure would be about the same as above, make sure that if you do use Win XP with SP2 that Windows Firewall is either off or at least set to allow the computers that are on your network to be able to connect. Here's how to check the Windows firewall You can see if it is firewalled in XP like this by right clicking or pointing at the connection to see the details on the left hand side of your screen Notice the menu option to change Windows Firewall settings in the Network Connections category. With Zone Alarm there should be a list of IP that you have told it to block, and amoung that list it is possible that when your other computer tried to logon then Zone Alarm probably told you about it and you told it to add it to the list of other ips that wre blocked, you need to know the IP of the other machine to check that list.

Well lets do this a couple of ways: ONE With a script like the below PHP script: <?php//quick database create database code without forum entry//define the variables for connection to database.$database="testdb"; //give it some kind of name here (the database)$user="username"; //you need a user name to use the database server$host="localhost"; //usually localhost$password="yourpassword"; //you will need a password for the database$connection=mysql_connect($host,$user,$password) [tab][/tab] or die("Couldn't connect to server, check your username and password!");mysql_query("CREATE DATABASE $database") [tab][/tab] or die("Couldn't execute query"); [tab][/tab] echo "Database $database has just been created for you!"; ?>If you copy the above code even with the comments and assign the proper values for the host, databasename, username, and password it will connect to the database and create a database named testdb. Now let try method TWO Go to the cPanel like below Then after you click the MySQL Icon you will see this: So there you go how to create a data base with or without a cPanel using script and without using a script by using the cPanel, the choice is yours.

I would have figured http://supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.com/ from that song in a Walt Disney Movie where that crazy woman went around singing it all the time, but it is probably mispelled, and it is only 35 letters. When I was in the Navy the short acronym for my command was FASO which was short for FASOTRAGRULANT DET Cecil Field, which was also short for: Fleet Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group Atlantic Fleet Detachment Cecil Field, they just called us FASOs.

In the Control Panel under Phones and Modem Option when you click the Modem Tab it does give you the option to remove (same as delete), so yes you can delete it there, but to be absolutely sure also check the device manager and remove all instances of that modem restart the machine and see if that doesn't then find the modem as new hardware.Then just go through the whole nine yards of Have Disk and with the drivers you have downloaded certainly you would think that the file it is looking for is contained within one of those files.Let us know what happens.

The Zone alarm is probably the problem, you need to allow the other computer, either by typing its name DESKTOP or whatever the case may be, and if running the same on the other machine you need to allow that computer name also, the Firewall is blocking it just like it should any other computer, it makes no difference between a LAN and an internet network. That should get you going.

I use XP but I think that 2000 should have close to the same control panel items so in the control panel besides the System Icon there should also be a Phone and Modem Options Icon look at it by clicking the Modems tab and see if the Modem is in there if it is then remove it then click the add and it should beable to find the modem, then you can use the install software for it, or if that fails you should be able to get a decent new modem for about $30 just about any where. They do fail and I just had to replace on due to a lightning strike, that happened while I was downloading that fried the little guy.

Although I have seen the query on these forums before the answer is still the same FileZilla it is fast and it is free right at this link and you should be just fine. There are others but on my machines that is the only FTP client, plus I have FileZilla Server on my machine for testing purposes.

I just used this link and it went straight to your login http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Here's what I got almost immediately:

What you have shown is a perfectly valid SQL query that tells the server to retrieve all people from the customer table whose birthday was on 01/01/1982, if there were none that met that criteria then the response would be blank or null becuse no record was found that met the criteria, just for the fun of it to make sure your syntax is right do this SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE Birth = '*' and it will return all customers just as if you did a SELECT * FROM Customer then you could also do this for age verification of those at least 22 years old by SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE Birth >= ' 01/01/1982 '

That is a DOS file and their are two of them you can get them HERE but I think you have more that you need to do than just get that file, are you putting these forums on a Web server? Do you have a a database server like MySQL, and do you have PHP? If the answer to any of those questions is no you need all of the above to run a forum, unless you try using a Perl script that uses files for storage of posts, and really eats up your hard drive quick if you have much traffic that posts to forums, but then you would have to have Perl installed on your machine.

the ftp should be ftp. + your username (thejeffsta.) in lowercase not TheJeffsta, + Xisto.com. At least that is how my account works even though my login Has the first letter of my username capitalized. but I could be wrong. Your ftp account is not the same as your C Panel account in your email they should have pointed out the different means of connecting to the ftp server at Xisto. I am sure that soon that an admin will provide more help but I am pretty sure that your ftp address would look like ftp.thejeffsta.astahost.com unless you go into C Panel and set up some other FTP accounts your self as I have for other users to upload files but only to certain area that I allow them to.

Astahost offers ftp with a hosting account, plus gives you I think 15MEG storage to start, and you could use their site to merely upload your files, but I don't think they would really like you just using the site for such and it may exceed your bandwidth. The other users would have to download using an FTP client, as you would as well to upload files...I am not really sure just what it isyou are asking. You might want to read the Terms Of Service about hosting on Xisto and see if they allow just hosting for nothing but downloads off their server.

Go to one of the XP machines and look at the other comuters on the network and see if your is on there, Look at the workgroup those other machines are using by going to control panel then system then click the Computer name tab and its will show the work group, on your Win 98 machine go to settings -> control panel-> network then click identification and make sure that the workgroup is the same as the one you found on the XP network, once that is set and you update it then also make sure that the primary login says Client for Microsoft Networks, not Microsoft Family login.Then try and see if you are not able to use the network, you might have to set up ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on one of the XP machines whichever one has the connection to the internet either through dialup or DSL or cable.
