lol, I let Firefox sit on this thread for a while and then everything was working again. It was probably off by a few seconds because I did one refresh right before I modified my post.[N]F

Here's your problem, you're using Micro$oft's lame excuse for a server. For Windows, if you're going to run a test server, get XAMPP. It's PHP, MySQL, Apache all bundled into one happy package. I've NEVER had any problems using a pre-packaged bundle of PHP, MySQL and Apache. I've tried exactly the same thing you're doing a long time ago. I got so frustrated with it that I installed phpTriad and problem solved. Just try XAMPP. It should work better for you. [N]F

ISP problem incase you didn't catch my edit [N]F

Whenever I try to install a package, I get the following error message in the shell: Thanks for any help trying to fix this! [N]F Edit: This was linked to an ISP problem that I verified with a friend on the same ISP. Apparently they were having some problems because I also couldn't access SourceForge or Photobucket. They've seem to have fixed the problem. [N]F

Red Hat, hmm... I've been using Linux off and on for about a year now. Ever since I've upgraded to DSL, it seems Linux is my life, lol. Red Hat is good, but I've had problems with it reconizing my network adapter. My first Linux distro was SuSE Enterprise/Standard Server 8. I must say, SuSE has come a long way since then! Novell products are excellent and that is why I like SuSE a lot. It's used in the enterprise setting & can be used at the home level. Just use what you like. If you want Red Hat, it's very tricky to find a download for the ISO images. It took me a long time and a lot of searching, but you can download any version here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Personally, stick to SuSE. It's a great Linux distro! [N]F

Sorry for the delay! I was trying out other distros. Red Hat 9 won't find my ethernet adapters so I can't get online so I had to install some others and uggg.... it has been a mess. It's an i386 (Intel Pentium III 900MHz), 512 MB RAM, 40 gig hard drive. If you need any more specs, just let me know [N]F

Xisto is better. This is the ONLY forum I'm really starting to hang out at because of the environment. It's worth the hosting! Update: 100WebSpace has now got more evil. I visited one of my sites to see an Apache "Forbidden" message. I login, and I get the following message: They've started treating their members like cattle. If I had some money, I'd buy 100WebSpace and turn the service around... They are a load of garbage right now... [N]F

nonono, it "patches" maybe 2 old holes, but it just opens 5 million new holes! lol Anyway, when I service a Windows XP computer, my boss always has me put on SP1 if they don't already have it. When SP2 was new, pretty much all of my computers couldn't take it. They'd slow down to where an old NEC PowerMate V116e (100 MHz Pentium, 16K or 64K of RAM, Win95) was slightly faster. And these were computers which were much faster too... Microsoft support didn't help at all. I think even AOL tech support could have figured this one out. Tip: NEVER "embed" the new SP until you have VERIFIED it won't slow your system down. When a 1.8 GHz computer begins to "lag" and act really slow just after you installed a new service pack, then remove it. Else if it works fine, remove it and THEN embed it. [N]F

Oh I forgot one thing! If you signed up with a domain (I always used a free cjb.net domain), they said you'd get 5 subdomains. After my first experience, I noticed I only had 3 left and I was like, what the heck?? Apparently "www" before your domain is a subdomain. They screwed you right there. Then the other you got screwed out of was the secondary URL. This URL was <username>.SERVER.com. They counted that as a subdomain!! I still have a website hosted there for an organiztion I'm in. I'm tempted to either hook it up here at Xisto on my account or on my paid server. Might stick it on my paid server because at times, the site "spikes" bandwidth like right after an event! Wow, they finally got rid of a larger ad and decreased the size of the ads at the top by a few pixels. I just checked out their over-filled homepage and here's a scary thought: 100WebSpace providing DEDICATED SERVERS. Also, less than half of the testimonials have to be real or they point to a site NOT on their network... I mean, just take a look at their support forum... complaints off the wall! http://forum.100webspace.com/viewforum.php?f=2 I guess maybe the "boss" regrets putting up the forum, lol [N]F

Yeah, I hate it when companies (especially web hosts) just "dissappear" off the face of the Earth. I've had that happen to me. I've lost some files I'll never see again, that's for sure. In the past, Freewebs used to be good enough, even with the required text link. I had a few sites hosted there. I just visited some free websites hosted at Freewebs. Sure enough... yet another lying, cheating webhost. There's the Google ad, right at the top. No one minds text links. Like, if I really need free hosting, I try to find places that will either A) Allow you to link to them, Force text links (top or bottom) or C) Allow you to place ads anywhere on your site. Times have changed for freewebs I guess. They needed to generate some revenue most likely. Oh well. [N]F

About time this happened... lol. Ever since Blockbuster released their online service, I knew they were barking up the wrong tree. Netflix did it first so, I have to stand behind them... it just isn't nice to copy these days...[N]F

wonderful... just what I need, more tech support calls from people saying "can you help me with my car???" Like the Onstar thing where your car emails you (well, of couse it "calls" Onstar and then Onstar's computers generate and send the email... I highly doubt a car has its own mail server! )But this does seem cool... I'd use it for sure because I'm lazy like that! lol[N]F

the other day I logged in to do something and I saw unlimited too.... I almost fainted and then realized that, yes, I was still at Xisto! lolBut I'm on a paid host with cpanel and it doesn't give me unlimited... could it be the cpanel version?[N]F

same reason why Apple destroyed (this was like in the 80's) a bunch of extra computers when they could have been donated to schools or something. it's called TAX WRITEOFF or TAX BREAK. by destroying stuff, you don't have to pay ANY taxes on it. I'm not exactly sure how it works and all, but it has something to do with getting a break on taxes. that's also why most stores destroy stuff after it hits 90% off or whatever they go to. they get tax breaks for destroyed things. No, don't go trying to destroy your house and/or land to avoid property taxes... doesn't quite work the same way! lol [N]F

I don't get this... I've downloaded the 5 (?) CD set of SuSE 10. It installs PERFECTLY however, the last step, the hardware thing (I forget what it is called), it quits on it and won't boot SuSE, it goes DIRECTLY into YaST and it's an endless loop... anyone else have similar install problems?Thanks![N]F

This company, Viva Media, sends our school's web design department evaluation games to review on our website every few months. This time, I opted to review this one.Has anyone else played this game before? The only way I figured out what to do was with a strategy guide I found with a Google search. That's the only thing that got me out of the British Museum.If anyone has played it, please let me know what you think of it. It will GREATLY help me with my review. Personally, it's a little challenging and I would have given up without the strategy guide.Thanks for any input!Also, btw, it is a pretty interesting game... I was up until midnight last night playing it! lol I just got so addicted to it. The start is a little on the dull and confusing side, too.[N]F

I'm not sure how fast I type anymore... but I can go a while with min. errors. I can "adjust" to a keyboard layout after about 5 minutes since my laptop keyboard is different from my mom's laptop and my Linux system's keyboard is WAY different than the Dell keyboards at school. I can adjust to "unknown" layouts (different laptops, other keyboards) fairly quickly (~5 minutes or so) and then I'm off typing and I can come back to a keyboard layout and "pull it" from memory and then I can easily get going! lol[N]F

Today I got my Maximum PC magazine and I found this in the Fun Size News section: I guess you can also count me as a person with "limited needs" too. OpenOffice is my primary office suite with Office XP as a secondary. Wow... Microsoft sucks. I'm glad I primarly use Linux... [N]F

As much as I know about Cpanel, you have nothing to be worried about. I think it is normal to see this (no matter what host you're on, just if they use RVBlue Cpanel theme). 127.0.0.1 is nothing more than a loopback IP. This is commonly used as a "dummy" IP and you will see it used quite a lot. If you had a server on your local computer, you'd just type http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or LOCALHOST (localhost is the loopback host name or computer name in Windows terms) to access your server. Don't worry about it. It is perfectly normal. [N]F

Before I came here to Xisto, I was located at 100webspace.com. Back when I originally signed up for service, they were EXCELLENT! Ad-free, 100 MB of web space, 2 gigs (later they upped it to 3 gigs) of bandwidth... it was perfect. WELL, then times changed. They said they wouldn't put ads on our sites. What a load of BS right there.. One day, I go to check out my site and here is this ad bar thing at the top of each and every page! This ticked off lots of users (as you would imagine after being promised AD-FREE sites). They claimed that the ads were nothing more than 10 pixel high text ads. Fine, I could live with that. THEN, out came the lie of "we're not going to make the ads any larger or put any more on your site." HAHA. Yeah, sure. Next thing I know, there are HUGE, bulky and poor coloured Google ads right under the "10 px ad bar". This REALLY ticked off most of the current members at the time. Later, they soon got rid of the Google ads and put in this "flashy" banner for Openhost.us or something like that. And to this very day, they STILL claim to have "small banners" that are placed on users sites. Oh come on! Just replace both banners and just insert those really small Google ads in the header of each page! I could live with that! But noooo.Point being, they lied to members and after that, service got worse! I mean, customer support got like really dumb or something because it would take DAYS to get a support request filled and they were not the most friendly of folk.My one site at the time was using iframes to display content. Look out! EVERY frame had a banner in it! I tried to make a deal with them saying that if they would just disable the ads, I wouldn't mind placing them somewhere clearly visible, but DENIED. Many users complained about the ads screwing with the frames. Then one day, the ads went beyond crazy. Designs were pretty much screwed and their "tech" (if you could even call him that) was out for the weekend and so the banners couldn't get fixed until Monday (this happened on like a Saturday).My rating of this host: -10/10 (yes, that is a negitive 10)Tips to any 100webspace.com employee: Don't be lying b******s. It will turn your happy clients into monsters and they will want to rip you open. Just start a paid host if you want to make money. Also, have a "tech on call". Then you won't have angry users if the problem can be fixed within 1-2 hours.[N]F

I know, one of my female friends has a site hosted with them and a week later when I checked it out again, I was like OMG... POP-UP GOOGLE ADS??? WHY? But I can answer my own question: They are a host that is more concered about how much $$$ they can bring in from their free clients. Thank goodness Xisto only ristricts ads to the forum!

Hey,Here's a weird problem I've encountered. On my test server running CentOS and Apache2 w/ the Apache2 Manual installed and accessible from the web, everything seems fine. So I access it via my home network on which the server is located and the manual loads like I'm on a 56K connection. To give you an idea of the speed, it's just a tweak faster than using MySpace during peak hours. MySpace is still slower than my server though. But today at school, I try it and the thing loads like it was on an OC-93 fiber line at a data center!AND- if I try to FTP into the server on my LAN, it takes forever! But at school when I tried it, it was like FTPing into my site here at Xisto, maybe even faster due to the server having 0 load.What is up with my network? Or is it the way CentOS/Apache is configured? Thanks for any help![N]F

well, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not that experienced. that's what all of this is for. It is a learning experience so I can easily adapt later on. I'm just sick of always taking "the easy way out." Any idiot can run an IIS server under Windows, heck- the same idiot can use Apache under Windows using the "packs" like PHPTriad or XAMPP. Also, I'd like to migrate over to Linux as much as possible. It's a task, yes, but I have yet to give up on a task. Plus, on the bright side, it's free and open source! You have no idea of how many operating systems are located on my external drive! lolI'll try and get this figured out..[N]F

This is the same router I have and I have to say that at first, my experience with it was a little rough (hey, it's Cisco, not D-Link). I came off of a D-Link router but when I upgraded the firmware on it, it flipped and went nuts and that's when I completely abandoned the D-Link brand.Linksys is amazing. When I upgraded the router's firmware, the bloody thing didn't crash like my D-Link. Customer Support is VERY friendly and helpful and they also have a live chat which I found very useful and helpful for urgent topics or if you don't want to wait for email (which is also pretty fast... faster than D-Link).But I'd definately tell everyone to get a Linksys.[N]F

Hello! I've got a test server launched using CentOS 4.3 Final and installed phpSysInfo on it to monitor it. Well, when I ran it as Debian, I never got the following errors on the output: You can see this more formatted properly here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. My other (paid) web host uses the EXACT same OS as their server operating system, but yet the output doesn't give those errors: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ If you can help me with my test server, that would be awesome! [N]F Edit: Sorry, this is in the wrong forum... I should have put it under the Linux forum!
