the Microsoft Windows 2003 Operating system is mostly designed for server to server connections and managing a server threw a LAN. I know that managing a server system threw a larger area (such as a web service) is possible but there is not many guides on how to do it. mostly guides on how to set up an office server. thanks anyways

Hi,im not sure if this is possible or if you are looking for anymore moderators at Xisto right now but ive been interested in becoming one for some time now. Could one of the admins or moderator tell me if Xisto is looking for anymore moderators to join them and if so could you please tell me what i have to do to become one.thanks

OK hosting off apache is okay but i dont want to do it anymore. I was wondering if anyone knew a FREE operating system that would allow me to host a web site threw a DSL line from my 100 GB External Hard drive. Also if anyone knows how i know to host off of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. I already own a licence for this system and it is currently running on my home computer (i am on my laptop right now). If you know a operating system that i can use please post it with some instructions on how to get it and use it if you know them. And if you have information about the Windows Server Operating system and how to use it to be a Web Server please tell me threw a reply or a PM. I would also like the server to have a Secure Login system but that is not required. Thanks everyone!!

Hi all,im haveing some trouble with the frontpage extentions on Xisto or on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix them because its becoming a pain to not be able to publish correctly! Everytime i attempt to publish i get this error message:"The server sent a response which FrontPage could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Windows SharePoint Services server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Windows SharePoint Services is installed properly." I already have the port unblocked in my firewall and in my router. But anyways i would appreaciate soe help from any one. My site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and if you have any ideas of why this is happing just post it here i will have it email me when someone replysThanks!

The fastest in america you can get right now is 56mbps. Thats why they came out with the 56mbps modems replacing the old 11mbps modems. Though the price of this speed is extreamily costly. And this is mostly used for big buildings that host over 500 employs and the broadband companies like cable (for instance comcast cable internet) and static- IP DSL lines (for instance SBC DSL). For your local cost imagine your current 1.5mbps bill times 3 (to equal 6mbps) and also times 3 dosen (for amount of people in your area) and then on top of the service charge you would have to pay for a nice server to help pull out the speed of the lines (probably around ($250,000) so the overall bill of your 56Mbps bill would be $400/montly plus that server charge. Of corse im saying this in California charges so it probably is lower in your area since everything in California is higher priced!

Sorry everyone the problem fixed its self. I deleated the problem because it had all my cpanel information in it. and i dont want unfair credits.

When i try to upload my files from microsoft frontpage it keeps giving me an error message when it is on the proccessing stage of upload saying that the server sent a response that frontpage could not parse. I have already tried to reinstall the frontpage extentions but that didnt fix the problem. It is not the aoolication because i have tried uploading it to another Frontpage extentions server and it worked. my URL is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and if someone could please help me fix this problem.thanks

Hybernation is a great way to spped up boot and shutdown but the flaw is your computer NEEDS to shutdown! Only with shutdown can it clear all of its catche (slows your computer) Close a failed program that wont close even if it isnt on the screen anymore (slows your computer, damages windows) And most of all your computer can not clock cycle (used by your proccessor (no effect on speed, damages windows, damages proccesor and fan on your computer with a chance of damaging your compleate motherboard)Hybernation is great in small doses but unless you want to pay $600 for repairs on your computer stick with shutdown at least once every two days.

I am using a .htaccess file so i dont need to change the type of page. The page was generated by Microsoft Frontpage 2003. The headers were automaticly generated by frontpage and the code has been checked by it. Im not sure if this is the problem because the problem is that i am putting the php code in a TABLE and it requires a seesion_start() which i have just found out that it must be on the top of the page to function properly. If i put the whole code up on the top it works fine but if it is in the table i get a error. I have no idea how to get it to work in the tables but i am experimenting with it and everything so far has failed. If anyone has any information on how to put this kind of code in a table please help me.here is the code <?phpsession_start();//check to see if the user already has an open sessionif (($_SESSION[user_name] != "") && ($_SESSION[password] != "")){ echo"Favorites--Logout";}else echo"Login";?>and here is the code for the shared border that this code is in <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><title>Shared Top Border</title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0"><meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="none"><meta name="Microsoft Border" content="none"></head><body><p align="left"><font color="#808080" size="2"><br></font><font color="#FFFF00">We Now support<script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-7806936936690646";google_ad_width = 180;google_ad_height = 60;google_ad_format = "180x60_as_rimg";google_cpa_choice = "CAAQ24Oy0QEaCGbgW7AaXRokKMu293M";//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><br></font><font size="2"><!--webbot bot="Navigation" s-type="top" s-orientation="horizontal" s-rendering="graphics" b-include-home="TRUE" b-include-up="TRUE" s-theme="classic 0010" --></font></p><div style="position: absolute; width: 100px; height: 100px; z-index: 16; left: 740px; top: 16px" id="layer21"> <p align="center"><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --><form target="paypal" action="https://https://www.paypal.com/home; method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"><input type="hidden" name="business" value="illdevilinc@gmail.com"><input type="image" src="https://http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;'>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"><input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"></form><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan --></div><p align="center"><font size="2"><img border="0" src="../images/IDI%20METAL%20MUSIC%20LOGO.JPG" width="84" height="65" alt="Metal Music" align="left"></font></p><div style="position: absolute; width: 505px; height: 62px; z-index: 10; left: 181px; top: 233px" id="layer14"> <p align="center">Advertisement<font size="1">▼</font> <script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-7806936936690646";google_ad_width = 468;google_ad_height = 60;google_ad_format = "468x60_as";google_ad_type = "text_image";google_ad_channel ="";google_color_border = "333333";google_color_bg = "000000";google_color_link = "FFFFFF";google_color_url = "999999";google_color_text = "CCCCCC";//--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></div><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><table border="1" width="100%" id="table2"> <tr> <td><?phpsession_start();//check to see if the user already has an open sessionif (($_SESSION[user_name] != "") && ($_SESSION[password] != "")){ echo"Favorites--Logout";}else echo"Login";?></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr></table><div style="position: absolute; width: 510px; height: 100px; z-index: 17; left: 181px; top: 327px" id="layer22"> <p align="center">Need to find something?

But heres the url for the site if you want to go to it and see the error your self. The error page. thanks, me

Hey everyoneThanks for all the replies and keep adding them cause they help alot.I have made alot of changes to the site!The frontpage is now organized not overlapping and has more graphics and movement. I have also intigrated a new link system and it works great!. Im also looking for possible link exchanes and if your interested simply go to my site and click "LINKS" in the navigation menu. My site is metalmusic.trap17.com OR idimetalmusic.net (hosted by Xisto AND Microsoft (the microsoft one redirects to the Xisto one quite frequently so the Xisto one is in use a lot))

Yes about the file types if you see any .exe programs my advise is to stay away from them as 99% of them are viruses. Another thing i have noticed is that programs that have any KB between 50 and 900 are adware or ad-ware toolbars. As for file types just block any types you see with 134.7KB as there file types, they are ads.

Hi,I am tring to install a 100GB External Hard Disk Drive onto my laptop. I plug the drive in through USB and it makes the hardware connect noise then about 5 seconds later it makes the hardware discconect noise. I dont know what to do the software it came with was ment for internal installation. But, i used an External Conversion kit and made it an external drive. I have already tried going into the bios and it listed nothing about the drive. My computer dosent even know that it is there. I need some help on this because if this dosent work then i payed $160 for crap. If you guys need to know:My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A65 s1067The Hard Disk Drive is a Seagate 100 GB Barracuda ATA Hard Disk with a model number as ST310011AThe Kit that i used is a ADS Tech USB2.0 BASIC HD KITThe website for toshiba is toshibadirect.comThe website for seagate is seagate.comThe website for ADS tech adstech.comThank you too all that helps.

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has any sugestions on how to make my site popular to more audiances. My site currently has a popularity of about 5 people a day. It is linked to few sites. It is listed on MSN, Yahoo! (not verified), And google. It is part of googles sitemap program and is also part of is adsence program. Now that ive giving the information heres the link: IDI Metal Music. I would be interested in making any link exchanges but im not interested in making it to sites that have nothing in commen with my site. (to make an exchange request put my link on your site and leave the url that the link is on in a reply or an email (viewsite for contact information). And any other suggestions on how to make the site popular is appreaciated. Thanks

Thank you,But like i said i can live with out it if its to much trouble to the admin or anyone else. But still thank you to you and to the admin.

I am wondering how to install python on the server my site is on. I would like to know if it is possible to do, if so, can i do it or do i have to have a admin do it, and if it is against TOS or any other thing. I need to install this script because i need to do some things with google (Sitemaps) and i may find it useful other places. But if it is not posible i can live without it.

I do agree that frontpage is a messed up editor but i have fixed the problem with the allignment and overlapping text allthough i have only tested it in internet explorer 7 and firefox 1.5 i beleave that if firefox can read it then other browsers should be able to also. If not, then just post what browser cant here and i will attemp to fix it. And to all those people that use frontpage: dont use to many layers as it will not align correctly and cause your site to look like crap just put some of the content in a same frame and seporate it with lines. That's what i did and the site looks ok now at least to me but yea im not the one that is going to be looking at my site the most so any more opinions about my site go ahead i will read them and try to fix them. And i am trying to put some animation in the site if anyone wishes to have any ideas or help about that.Thanks

Ok well i did make the site in Microsoft Frontpage. I looked into the layout and the site is optimised for Internet explorer 5/6 and netscape navigator 4/5 in windows format. Firefox just does not like my site and neather does other does other browsers. Im not sure what is going on but ive also noticed something odd in firefox. These forums that are used on Xisto.com arent supported fully by firefox. If you want proof then try to click the hyperlink insert butten in reply mode. If it works for you then my computer is retarted. But anyways i have a comment for microsoft programs and systems: they are useful but retarted when on non microsoft products. Thats a warning for frontpage useres that use layers instead of nailed down tables. Thats another thing that probably went wrong with my site i used layers to move them where i wanted them to go but i will try to be redesigning my site to get the more proffesional look for more browsers.Microsoft sucksthanks,

Well i dont know why but i have noticed this too the site will not work with firefox. I think its the browser not the site because the site in internet explorer looks fine in my window. Well to see what the site really looks like use internet explorer 6 for the site. Or give me some suggestions on how to improve the site to make it work with the newer browsers that dont rely on internet explorer (Firefox and some others).

Ok my site is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ need help with figuring out what to do next. Ive already organized the site and everything and im losing track of what to do next. I also need some traffic and dont know where to get it. But yea if you have any suggestions just repost them here or PM me.

I found this site by searching google,.It is a site that yo8u can get a free domain with the prefix .tk I have found it to be a very good place to get a domain. Onw thing that i noticed on it is that of corse since your getting it free you have no legal rights (it still is legal to use the domain) and also someone can take it from you if someone buys it. But i still like using it until i can affored a licenced domain name (i wannt an actual .com) But anyways back to the site. You also get 5 virtral email adresses in this form (yourname@yoursite.tk) which i think is prety cool and they do not force you to have there ads on the site but they have the feature turned on automaticly just go into your potions to turn it off. But yea the site URL is http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html?lang=en and if you want to visit my site its idimm.tk instead of metalmusic.trap17.comthanks,If you have any comments on my site just PM me.

Ok i signed up with paypal premium. The free sign up really supprised me but the fees they dock you with are present (yet not very bad). But i found out how good there shoping cart was. Its basicly automated so you wont have to input very much on one button. It also generates the html code for you to use to. But The problem with this cart is that you have to manually make each button for each product. But at least you give your users a secure checkout and have an email notification for each purchase that gets made. Now here is my question:Is it ok to have people purchase things on your site but you buy it from another company and have that companie ship it to them? But i did have the users agree to that happining. Anyways if you want to look at the setup that i have then go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and if you want to see how this pricing is set up click the buy cd's place on the top and click an artist.Thanks Notice from jlhaslip: Edit to fix URL

Okay, Before i get started some of the things in this are very hard to understand and may require some time to setup. Things you should know that gave me trouble when trying to make this work 1) The PHP code is very picky the code will not work if all the filenames are not lowercase 2) The code wil require editing in many of the file names so make sure to read the instructions i give for each! 3) The code requires that you know how to edit the mysql database through code activation( for Xisto servers i include a reference on how to do it.) 4) These codes are not optional if you want a login system you must use all codes! 5) In these codes cookies are used so you must warn your users that they must let cookies come from your site. Ok well now lets get started in coding. STEP 1 1) copy this code into note pad 2) save this code as tables.sql ## dbtables.sql## Simplifies the task of creating all the database tables# used by the login system.## Can be run from command prompt by typing:## mysql -u yourusername -D yourdatabasename < dbtables.sql## That's with dbtables.sql in the mysql bin directory, but# you can just include the path to dbtables.sql and that's# fine too.## Written by: Jpmaster77 a.k.a. The Grandmaster of C++ (GMC)# Last Updated: August 13, 2004### Table structure for users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;CREATE TABLE users ( username varchar(30) primary key, password varchar(32), userid varchar(32), userlevel tinyint(1) unsigned not null, email varchar(50), timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);## Table structure for active users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS active_users;CREATE TABLE active_users ( username varchar(30) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);## Table structure for active guests table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS active_guests;CREATE TABLE active_guests ( ip varchar(15) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);## Table structure for banned users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS banned_users;CREATE TABLE banned_users ( username varchar(30) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null); (for Xisto hosting users) Ok now that the file is saved onto your computer log into your website cpanel (ex. yoursite.trap17.com/cpanel or yoursite.com/cpanel) go into mysql databases, create a new database through that or use an existing one if you want. Now on the same page create a login name and password for the database that you want ,set the permission to ALL, then click create. Now go into the bottom of the page and click the link that takes you to an online database editer. Select the database your using on the drop down box at the left. At the top find Query and click it. Now in the select file form click browse and find the file you created above and click ok. Then create the file (if it dosent do it automaticly). Then thats it your done with creating the tables now you may move onto PART 2! PART 2 1)Okay well we are now getting into the look and edit part. The only part you HAVE to edit in this section is this part: define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");define("DB_USER", "your_name");define("DB_PASS", "your_pass");define("DB_NAME", "your_dbname"); Leave localhost as is if your on Xisto hosting Your_name must be changed to the login name you created for the database you made. Your_pass must be changed to the password you created for the database you made. You_dbname must be changed to the name you gave to your database ***WARNING*** REFER TO YOUR MYSQL SERVER FOR YOUR NAME AS IT MAY HAVE MODIFIED THE NAME. You may change other needs to your liking but im not going into detail with the advanced editing. And also when you edit this stuff make sure ALL the information is 100% CORRECT or you will not make a succesful login system. 2) When all information is modified to the way you like it then save it as constants.php <?/** * Constants.php * * This file is intended to group all constants to * make it easier for the site administrator to tweak * the login script. * */ /** * Database Constants - these constants are required * in order for there to be a successful connection * to the MySQL database.

Okay i made changes to the website layout now im ready to start adding content. My website is a Metal music site and i need some lyrics, videos, and songs to go on it now. So the lyrics can be any kind of Hard rock. Same with the videos and songs. Also if anyone has any download sites that have LEGAL music for sale/download please also mention it here. And im trying to drive more traffic to the site so if any one is willing to put one of my two banners on there site i will be happy to put a banner or link (which ever you preffer) on my site in the link section and i will leave it there for as long as my banner stays on your site. And lastly if anyone knows how to make a login script without having to mess around with the HTML thats already on my site too much can you please tell me how to make one. Thanks for the help
