I got 170 results all of which I looked at (NO i did not go through it one by one) were myself (My first name/last name combination is quite rare because my first name is hebrew and my last name turkish ^^ im not religious as i might add to make things clear)want to be just like me? just sign up at the Open Directory Project (http://www.dmoz.org/) as an editor, wait a few months until your name is on every single page which reflects the ODP (not only Google, there are LOADS of these sites) and there you go ^^ I did not even do anything at the ODP for a long time (my account is suspended now). I might take on the work again, because I think you can put a link to your homepage in the description and this would probably get me up in the PageRank!

Ruben ist my real first name ^^ I think this tops all the boring stories :-)I like my name, it's short and my old nicknames (manythingsidontrememberwheniwasintochatting/Terk [just made it up]/scorn [found this trying to find cool english words in a dictionary and found it was so spacy]) sucked, so why not :-)

Thanks a lot, evought, your post made pretty clear for me that I can't use this service as easily as it is meant to be used... I managed to test this service on a normal direct connection now and it is working fine.. But I noticed that the access ID shown in the Control Panel is NOT my IP. I was confused, because I thought people could access me using my IP! So if I forwarded port 80 to my computer (which would make other computers on my router unable to access the internet, right?), then I still would need some other address instead, not my IP but this strange thingie with my ISP subdomain before it. The address I had in my control panel instead of my IP hat nothing to do with my IP, it actually looks like this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Would be great, if you could answer this too, since you seem to know a lot, thanks a lot :-)

My experience shows that they always get some IP when you connect them in the network. You can connect by name too, but an IP is always there. I'm not sure about user-to-user (airport/crossover-ethernet) networks, but they can not really be called networks, right?

Lol, Guardian wrote this message 8 minutes after the guy asked ^^ What kind of staff-ant mutation did this guy expect? :-)

At Guardian: Blahblahblah, empty talk.But I agree that this is a little unfair especially if you (like I did :-/) gathered the credits in time. It would be fine with me, if 3 credits (time till I applied) had been taken away instead of giving me 3 extra, cos then I would have 40 more :-)Why don't you just reconsider this rule?

I agree, a new layout would be great. I would like to add that all the very light colors are exhausting for the eyes. Maybe you should consider a little bit more cozy design :-) This one reminds me a little bit of toothpaste ;-) but I have to admit that my toothpaste taste is a little odd. ^^ It is nice though, but if you spend a lof of time at a site you also want some variation from time to time :-)

Thanks, hope that means that you will move it back to HowTo-Misc. because a topic with "HowTo" in the title is misplaced in computer talk.And I want to defend filesharing: I have and will again use it for legal purposes. For example: New CDs with Copy Protection, that I can't import myself. Downloading them is legal (in Germany and many other countries). Or CDs that got too scratched too play (because they are da*n low quality).I know that this is a often discussed thing (even though on a coder-homepage you probably won't find that many voices against it, because, well we're mostly young and rather poor, but as I said, I was not starting a debate, but writing a HOW-TO. I rather hoped that you might contribute arguments to fill up a discussion. Gotta go, write later!

Thanks, this helps me too. I plead that this search is saved together with a search for reply as a feature since I doubt that I'm the only user who would use it a lot. Reason: if you replied to something it probably means that you want to follow that discussion, but if it aint your topic, you cant find out easily if someone answered (which might be furthergoing questions and so on)

I did a little research on it now... It is kind of screwed up, because using your own .htaccess file does not work for me (directly) and the Cpanel option neither (false address generates a 404 error "but 500 because no error document could be found". REALLY messed up. anyone got more experience with this than I have?bye, ruben

lol, microscopic^earthling (you COULD have a shorter nickname ;-)), your post confused me ^^ but I think I got the idea now, but maybe it is better for me to have a vague picture of this rather than knowing all this stuff :-)@quatrux ^^ you're crazy ^^ and btw REALLY professional websites don't have this stuff, check google for example :-) a reliable internet address (including a fixed www. in front of it) is something like a trademark on the internet. this is why it sucks to have a subdomain, you always have to explain to people that they don't need to write www in front of it (ok, here it works too, but sometimes it doesn't at other places). the www is also a much more famous "eyecatcher for internet stuff" than "http://forums.xisto.com/;. all psychology ;-) so if you want to look professional, stick to what you had and improve your content (don't know what you publish – no offense).regards ruben

Yes man, but if you would make the effort and read through the descriptions on php.net then you could easily find a lot of notes saying "pleae use mysql-code blahblahblah instead".If you are new to MySQL then you are better off using MySQL code in mysql_query, that's what I was trying to say.

I've had this problem too, but with a completely different printer. It made a sound as if printing, but white pages came out. On the other hand, the cartridges were full (even replaced them). I figured out that it probably was the injector cone, below the cartridge. The cleaning cycles and so on didn't help and since this printer was quite crappy anyway, I tried to take the problem into my own tremulous hands :-/I ended up with a very fine thin needle, trying to poke my way through the obviously congested hole, where the ink goes through, but as you can imagine... when you combine an idiot, a very small hole and a much too thick needle.. I didn't manage to clean the hole, maybe I could have made a bigger one :-( So I let it be and this piece of crap still takes on dust in my room.So good luck :-) Maybe you can try some cleanser on this cone. Don't know your printer of course but normally there is another instance after the cartridge. Good luck!

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. But what I know is, that PHP does not really have that many functions to use MySQL directly. They like you better to use mysql_query() and then the MySQL code in it. Makes it easier for you since you already know mysql. If you don't know that command, try finding out what the ASP-function actually does! Look on the bright side you don't have to learn it new completely.. :-)

Not necessarily as you can also resolve a request like http://www.dell.com/en-us/ into http://www.dell.com/en-us/ directly, but it does not contain anything different than the other wwws. As far as I know you can see them as a kind of privileged subdomain. But for example if you take http://php.net/ -> They resolve your server request and they redirect you to your countries server. For big countries they got multiple servers. So, if I connect to php.net from Germany during primetime I will be eventually ending up on de6.php.net, because the other subdomains are overworked or whatever. In this case I am not actually sure if it resolves the DNS request or if it is a PHP script. But I think you should generally say: If you don't have a really damn HUGE site you won't need multiple wwws.. In the cases I saw it, it was always giant sites which had a lot of request so I guessed that the different domains were just directed to not overworked servers. Am I right? Because I never actually read anything about this except m^es article and I just figured it out, while using. regards, ruben

Hello there, I think it should be possible. You are trying to make up some connection between names and email addresses, right? Well, you can do this by corresponding line: for example line 7:htpasswd -bc .htusers Toni oneline 8:htpasswd -bc .htusers Luigi twoline 9:htpasswd -bc .htusers Bernardo threelline 10:htpasswd -bc .htusers Hernandez fourSo if you just read in the .htusers file into an array like the PHP function "file()" You got them grouped by lines. So Mr. Luigi would be Nr. 8. If you now have a database with the emails in it or a textfile (would not recommend that), than you can just give the corresponding line numbers to the email address. So, if Mr. Luigi now tries to get his password send, you take his line number and email address from the database, open the .htusers file with file().. Wait it's easier in code $userfile= file(".htusers");$theline = explode(" ",$userfile[$x=8]); // there are always three spaces (" ") in a line$user = $theline[2]; // the user name$password = $theline[3]; // the users password// email address you got from database. now you can send an email with this data, hope you know how that works. php.net/mailShould do the job, but you will have to change it for your personal circumstances! Good luck! regards, Ruben Oops, I assumed PHP! Sorry for the double post. I do not know perl at all, but I hope the Idea is clear! Sorry for the double post, may be a mod could edit? Thanks! Ruben

Hello! I have a MySQL db access problem too, so I just post in here, hope that's fine. It is not about downtime, but about standard behaviour. I have been trying to access my database from a subdomain. I have to admit that it took me some time to actually figure out that the problem was the subdomain... Well, then I tried adding the subdomain to the access hosts, but it didn't work out, the script came up with this So I added this address to the access hosts and now it works fine. But when I accessed this in http: (browser) it came up with links to Xisto Xisto and co. so i wonder: what is this IP? Is it a public Xisto domain? Does this mean that I just gave free (password protected) access to all people on Xisto?Not that I don't trust you guys :-P and the data is not really confidential, but I was wondering... Isn't there a better way to provide access from a subdomain to a database? Just using localhost as connection server didn't work for me, because the subdomain is not on localhost as it seems. So I used the main domain of my site, which implicated that the request wasn't coming from localhost anymore. It came (as my SQL said from this IP address but as I think) from my subdomain. But adding the subdomain to access host didn't fix it. Sorry for repeating, but I want to make the problem as clear as possible. All answers appreciated, Ruben

I have not actually tried! But what you said is what I suppose to happen, because there is only one error page setup in the whole control panel. The .htaccess works on other servers I know, but yesterday I tried (not long) and didn't succeed, so you might want to wait for someone with more experience. Of course you can already try now what the Cpanel configuration does (it's not that much work and you will easily find out). Just try some wrong URls and look if the error pages are the same everywhere. Good luck and let us hear your results. I'm going to work on it too the next days.

Hello,I'm very well aware of the fact that this is a moral issue, but you obviously did not even read the thread completely. Maybe you did that because you didn't want to get your mind polluted, but what I wrote and repeated: This is a moral issue with more than one side, but in cases where you want to persuade someone to allow you to (parents, neighbours) it is useful to have some arguments. This was not supposed to be taken completely seriously, but as you might notice now: There ARE situations where you need to convince someone. Might not have occured to you yet, but has to me and I also saw a thread here on Xisto concerning this, where they were considering methods to use internet without parents knowing, which I do not think of as morally more correct.It should also be said that FileSharing is not necessarily illegal in a lot of European countries (I don't know how it is in the Netherlands though, I have friends there who download, but could be illegal). The law in Germany says, that it is illegal to download stuff that you are not owning. I can legibly download CDs I own or movies I got on DVD. And also GNU-licensed files. In Sweden it is the same. The law-prosecution is just different. So I am NOT promoting criminal activities here, never said so, never will do so. YOU however just inspired others, by the way you described the speed that one can download illegal stuff with.I hereby make clear: I do not support downloading copyrighted material, if you don't intend to buy it, it harms the artists.I think it should be allowed to write a slightly humourous argument-list for practical purposes, but I'm willing to take on a moral debate.In any way the second part would not be concerned by your concerns.best regards,Ruben

Hi there!I do not believe that encoding helps. A not completely bad spam bot will crawl your address anyway. Don't forget it is a bot, so it still finds a unique @-character. This might help (or have helped) for some time, but since the spambots are developing too, you can expect that they will find these emailadresses too, sooner or later.I read a German tutorial about how to really protect the email address while still giving full functionality. It is quite simple. You write your email like thisyourusername∂yourserver.com and later you replace the ∂ with a real @. This will be done with CSS and/or Javascript. In the end you get a fully working email address, so you fulfill the law, which says that you have to be reachable as a website owner (at least in Germany).If you want to, I can translate the tutorial, it's not that difficult to do, except the CSS part (you don't get the idea that easily, but it is clear too).It will always work except if CSS support is bad and JS disabled. If this occurs, than they have at least the ∂ there, everyone will know what it means (you can replace it with _AT_ too of course, but that's not that good because it has different names in different languages.What do you say, shall I write a How-To? By the way, would I still get points for it :-P? I mean translation is work too...But first tell me if you want it, because I don't translate with great pleasure :-/I can assure that you're centuries ahead of normal spambots, because the @ and the email address aren't even in the same place on your webpage.Good night,Ruben

This is nice if you are getting started with .htaccess and stuff, but if you know a little more and don't want to get used to this new way, then I would strongly recommend using the .htaccess way, that Quatrux described. Not only can you set up pages for EVERY error code but you can also use pages that already exist (like the Sitemap with a little 404-notice) without having to define them newly inside the Cpanel. I also had problems with PHP inside the cpanel (wouldn't read it), so this is why I considered the other method in the first place. But it is really much more advanced. I haven't found a way to give different error pages for different folders in the Cpanel. In .htaccess this is easy. I am especially fond of that, because I got a different page on a subdomain and it shouldn't use the same error pages. It also makes it easier to move with the whole site. Hope this lined out pros and cons, // Ruben

Sorry, this was too much technic talk for me :-/What I got: A domain hosted at a professional hoster, but without webspace. The domain currently just frames my webspace (not the best solution, is it?).I talked to them, they told me to talk to the DENIC. I'm the domain owner. My hoster hosts my domain 24/7 so this should be no problem right?Can you figure out if the DENIC will charge me for the redirection?I'm not that good with internet theory, I'm sorry :-( the only thing I really understood is that .de-Domain to .com-Nameserver is possible.Thanks a lot.

Apple's main market base are iPods, but you windows users fail to understand the great comfort of using a Macintosh. Windows Users spend days tuning up their machine to make it a little bit faster, safer or whatever. Mac users just use their computer and it WORKS. you dont have to pimp it up, save it from viruses and trojan horses, you just work with it.I haven't heard about the hardware restriction yet, but it makes me wonder, because Mac OS X CAN compete with other systems. But maybe it is because they know that people will buy a computer+system easier than a system alone (which you can download)

I assume it was the Multiple User Log In? You see pictures and stuff too?Would suggest that you search the apple.com Support database, it is huge and it will have better solutions than I have. Just for verification: You need the data on the disk, right?

Thanks, help is appreciated, but this is NOT what I was asking for. Honestly, everyone can find this out. By the way you're wrong about two things: PHP is integrated, you just have to turn it on in the httpd.conf (I read this) and I can be accessed when I have a dynamic IP, but well, I can't set up a website, because the IP changes from time to time. As long as the IP consists, everyone should be able to use it. My main question and the only left (because Personal Web Sharing won't work without it) was: How can I enable it behind a router? I read that I have to do some Port Forwarding, but I wasn't able to find out, which I have to forward. So who can help?
