It's still wrong, OpaQue will get to it when he's got some time :DIt's the HTML files so he's the only one with access to it :DNils

The answer is no, a site with that kind of name/content will attract hackers. Even if you don't have that intention they would be trying to see if they can. And in order to hack your website they would hack the server that everyone is hosted on. Anytime you setup a server like that it has to be dedicated or you will trash other users data also.Nils

finaldark.uni.cc is missing a record in the nameservers. You have to create a DNS record and point it to the ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com. Then you have to park the domain name in your cPanel.
DNS record for finaldark.uni.cc

It takes 24 to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate to all the nameservers on the internet.

I moved it here because this is a security issue, not php progrEven though the fix is php programming.So everyone make sure you have latest version and check your log files :angry:Nils

Adware / spyware / malware / viruses / trojans. It's important to keep your computer clean (I don't mean wash it in soap and water) and free of all pests. We had the same topic in Xisto and I'm not going to repost the whole tread here but the link point to some instructions there on how to deal with the various issus you will see when houskeeping the commputer.
Spyware And Adware Removal

One that is not mentioned much is PestPatrol, that may be because it's a paid program.

There was a problem with the server earlier, it's repaired and everyone is back up working without any problems.Nils

Account Expired 35 days ago.Account Posts for New members only : 12816.the top number are you, it looks like your hosting was deleted because it's more than 30 days of inactivity. Nils

Ok, I see only one problem where is the art going to be hosted. Everyone only have a limited amount for uploads and I think it will be used up very fast uploading images.Astahost don't have a Photo Gallery for the same reason you need to preserve your website (This is me not OpaQue and he may correct this statement ) the disk space and bandwidth is not here for that. So hosting the images would be the first hurdle and then let me know when you have an image host and I'll setup the forum!Nils

Vagodeoz,when you put up a poll like this you should at least look up the background of the major religions, spelling etc. I don't understand the facination with everyones religion when you didn't even take the time to do a little research before you posted it. :DI edited some of your spelling and added (Edited) the options. To those of you who read this and realise I did not put your religion there, that is why I did other.Cheers and happy voting.Nils

This is one exploit that don't work in IE so 1 for IE and 1 million for the rest. :angry:Nils

Chris if you type the URL you are using the character set that is default on your computer. This spoof is done by signing up a website using a different character set where tha characters look the same but have a different ascii value.so typing the URL is safe.Nils

It's OK to post both places I did, security is important and you can post in both forums if you like to.Did you test that the new version of FF is secure? are you on that version of FF.Nils

That you can't see Xisto from home but it works from school can be due to multiple issues (one or more):

Your firewall is blocking Xisto

your ISP is blocking Xisto

your ISP's DNS server is querying a non authorative name server

You may have a setting in your computer for a nameserver (DNS Record) that is obsolete (should not happen with dial up)

You are typing the URL wrong

Someone using the same ISP abused resources on Xisto and the CIDR range is blocked (Range (block) of IP addresses)

Check your HOSTS file to make sure Xisto is not listed as a localhost, remove spyware and adware from the computer. Update antivirus and scan the computer.

I'm not going to post the same issue / solution on both forums. If you have a Mozilla based browser it would be in your best interest to read this story.

 

Browsers affected by this exploit are:

 

Mozilla 1.7.x

Mozilla Firefox 0.x

Mozilla Firefox 1.x

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.x

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.x

 

Security Issue in Mozilla based browsers

 

Thank You

Nils

This exploit affects Mozilla based browsers and versions listed:

 

Mozilla 1.7.x

Mozilla Firefox 0.x

Mozilla Firefox 1.x

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.x

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.x

 

Description:

Eric Johanson has reported a security issue in Mozilla / Firefox / Camino / Thunderbird, which can be exploited by a malicious web site to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar, SSL certificate, and status bar.

 

The problem is caused due to an unintended result of the IDN (International Domain Name) implementation, which allows using international characters in domain names.

 

This can be exploited by registering domain names with certain international characters that resembles other commonly used characters, thereby causing the user to believe they are on a trusted site.

I'm not going to post the same instructions here, I gave some instructions on tools to remove spyware and protecting your computer. Xisto and Xisto are both OpaQue's so there is no need for me to double post
Spyware and Adware removal

There are some suggestions there that may need to be explained better. If you need any help with anything there, just reply here so we know what topic we are working on

Nils

Gmail invitations should go in the Google section. Not here, there are millions of gmail invitations out there. Don't post anymore **** Topic Closed ****Nils

Anyone who would lie to say thanks by placing a logo or banner on their site should read this topic: Required banners... This one, post number 12 holds the 2 logos that OpaQue would like to see links to (And to Xisto... )

hars53,correct, anytime you have to work with registy files you should back the registry up.One more thing you can do if you are using XP is to create a restore point, back up the registry and then do the editing.when you are done editing registry, restart your computer and make sure everything still works :angry:If you are using XPP you need to understand the startup process and how to "Restore to last known good configuration"(This is registry setting). You need to remember that if you have problem starting the computer after a registry edit you should do this first, if startup in safemode, that is OK because it does not update the "LastKnownGood Control set". Last Known Good configuration can be restored until you have a successful startup at that time it's updated.Nils

It's fill, and a way of keeping the competitive spirit up You can look at it as an avatar, or a signature file it's something to fill space.

 

Ranking and reputation, its a way to feel you met a goal

 

I was going to add some more user levels:

 

Out of Control, 500, **********

Way out of Control, 750, ***********

Uncontrolled, 1250, ************

Need a Life, 2000, *************

 

I think it would be a challeng to "Need a Life"

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ this link worked perfect for me.

You should change your password, unless you already did that.

Remember to never give out your password, that is how users have lost their hosting accounts. We don't know if it's you or somebody else avusing the server when that happens

Good luck.
Nils

You need a minimum of 4 hosting credits for the account to reactivate, you have only one so you need to post more.Nils

They are supposed to be a way of telling the different browsers and what OS they are using. In reality thay are all lying and not conforming to standard, including the ones that can be user defined or changed.I just ignore it for mow, IE fakes it and say "mozilla" compatible etc... I have not found one solid answer to back the user agent up :)Nils

What ftp program are you using? This can help us answer your question. I'm using SmartFTP and I can select a folder, click delete and everything is removed. When I used WSftp I had to delete content first then the folder.Nils
