YOu are facing problem installing it on the main folder which is public_html because there are certain folders like images and possibly others too if you have created. Remove (delete) whatever custom folders you have installed including images, and also index.html. And try to installed again. Since those cms like php-nuke, joomla, xoops may already have images folder with them. Try again and tell us the outcome. You can definitely install it on the main folder that way. If you want it to be installed in the sub-folder, it shouldn't be having any problem. You can name the sub-folder as cms, or web and it will become yourdomain.trap17.com/cms or yourdomain.trap17.com/web to access your site. You can also redirect yourdomain.trap17.com to yourdomain.trap17.com/cms or yourdomain.trap17.com/web from Cpanel > Manage Redirect page. It is upto you to install the cms anywhere. The ending extension will be most likely yourdomain.trap17.com/cms/index.php but if you use any search engine friendly url they can change to .html which you need to do a little bit from the cms concerned. For postnuke it is quite easy. But you do not need to worry because when a visitor click yourdomain.trap17.com/cms they will land on the page provided by the cms but make sure that your own index.htm or index.html file is not present there. You don't need to put any by your own because the cms concerned will put everything in place for you. Also, the cms in Fantastico are not the latest version always, so if you can download their latest stable version from their respective site it is the best. All the best!

Your website looks impressive when it comes to what you offer to the website visitors. However, people are not going to find this site address easily since it is a sub-domain of Xisto and it will take time for them to find at metal or hard music in search engines. However, if your website is more search engine friendly, meaning the content and the pages should be optimized more so that search engines once they crawled will easily display them in the search results. To do that I think you should use so many frames within the page. Especially the homepage itself I found frames after frames which I think it not very good for search engines and robots. Also, try to browse your site in firefox and see what you are seeing is not according to your original plan and look. I don't think your website visitors will be pleased with the layout present to them if they look and visit your site from firefox browser. I too am using firefox and am not impressed at all. I hope you are making small changes to impact big and effective. With regards.

Tyssen, I would like to point out this particular part, if you can give him an idea why nested tables means and how to overcome them? According to me why people are not finding pakdir from search engines is because the site isn't optimized properly. If we think Pakistan, mostly net users are those who command good English and would prefer to go online visiting those English sites. In fact, we have so many English portals from Pakistan. In oder for Pakdir to stay on top the webmaster must optimize the website well, like putting the right keyword for meta tags, meta description, title of the page. Since there are so many good websites from Pakistan, in order for Pakdir to stay on top search engines' pages it must compete with top sites in all areas.

A good idea but for many of us staying in Xisto is not just keeping our free hosting up, but its a passion to be among the community which is so active as well. Therefore, we always think ways to make few more bucks in order to expand our businesses. I definitely do not want to remain as a free hoster in Xisto for many years to come. Therefore, something like this kind of idea, idea on how to earn and make money in order to pay our hosting is a good idea. In fact, Xisto paid hosting site Xisto - Web Hosting.com has many good and cheap plans, if we can make few bucks with the free hosting they provide we can go on with the paid hosting, which is good for us as well as good for the Xisto network. I recommend trying experiment with google adsense!

Like other members have suggested I also suggest you to use Content Management systems like Mambo, Joomla, Xoops, PHP-Nuke, e107 and others. If you want your site to work easily for you which will be dynamic it is better to use those, it will take much time until you can code your own site using PHP even if you learn. Besides, even those who are expert is PHP also don't waste their time coding their own sites rather they use CMS and alter or hack the codes according to their needs which will not take much time.And also if you learn PHP the best way to experiment is to start testing those already available free CMS and play around with the codes.

I welcome this definitely welcome this move of Google. However, I don't want to see any dominion of a single company in any business, that is when they usually become insensitive to end users. It is much better to have a very competitive market so that everyone will try to please the customers to remain loyal to them. If Google is so successful with this move, Microsoft will also try to improve its services and who knows if Windows become more cheaper? That will be a good, welcome move too.

I like this feature and I hope no one will misuse it. I have noticed often that I made grammatical mistakes in many of my posts which I find embarrassing as I re-read them. Editable post are therefore a welcome move. Atleast for the hosted members and group members, who are trustworthy I hope we will all use this freedom with a constructive way. Thanks for keep improving the board and community.

My answer to your questions are simple and best. :huh:Chatbox:The chatbox (shoutbox) in this forum is not seen for quite sometime, the reason perhaps is due to the upgrading the forum I suppose. This forum was upgraded a few days ago and the webmaster is still putting things in places. Let's hope it will be back soon. I don't mind even if it doesn't come back because the forum loading speed because somewhat slow.Domain registration:Have you not heard Candice Michelle (Niki Capelli) of Godaddy.com? I think Godaddy is cheap and one of the best for domain registration. I recomend you to go for it. Yahoo seems to be having problem with some members reporting some sort of problem though I have no problem with one domain restriction.Hosting:Xisto - Web Hosting.com is the best I could find on the web. With unlimited features with lots of space and bandwidth for cheap prices, they are unbeatable for now. I recommend you to go for it.Thanks.

I will comment on your website on the following factors:Layout:When it comes to layout this is good. Fixed width is always better than 100% width. At first glance the layout reminds me of Yahoo. The only problem seems to be with firefox. The way it appears in internet explorer and firefox are somewhat differenet. Border looks ugly in firefox browser. May be you can make small changes to make it look more professional in firefox browser.Header:The logo reminds me of some branded jeans pant. A logo should be visible and conspicous which is not in this case. When we visit pakdir we must know that we are visiting it and next time we can identify it easily. If someone visits your site from search engine he may not even know which site he is visiting because the logo tells very little about the site. I suggest you put the Logo in the same line as the blue band on top of the page. Design:I like the design. A website which doesn't have much graphics in the layout itself is good because it loads fast and also search engines don't count those images much in anyway.News:May be you can get more news from other news source too, not only from the same source but from many different source so that visitors get maximum news out of one website, otherwise they may visit the concerned site directly.

Thanks for the links. I didn't know that something like this could be available for free. The trial version is available too which is a good thing since we can see how it actually works and if one likes it s/he can buy it online. I'm going to try out the trial version when I'm more free and will tell you how it works.

This is my opinion. I hope you will respect it. This is eastern view on western people. In western countries, people are too free and too liberal that they started saying and doing whatever is in their mind, and sometimes they go beyond the limit. And that causes lots and lots of problems. And the problem with some countries is that they are too conservative (especially in muslim countries) that people cannot voice their opinion properly again. These two extreme are both bad for societies and human race. I wonder when will a very balance world and people will emerge in this world.And the cartoon in question stands for the first argument I've put. This is my frank opinion. This cartoon is somewhat similar to Prophet Mohammed's cartoon that is causing lots of protest in the Muslim world.

Thanks; the problem seems to be with the domain registration company. Their network is taking time to update on the world wide web.

Thanks Opaque and Admin,That definitely clears the doubt. Thanks for your tip. I'm quite satisfied with the loading speed and page responses. Thank you.

Yes, I can see. The logo is still the default logo of Invision Power Board. I don't know for some reason I couldn't post using FAST REPLy button. It just didn't work when I tried to reply. No form appear after clicking. For me, I like this default template or theme the most. It is quite comfortable with eyes and loading of pages are also quite okay. Upgrading to the latest version is always the best. But there could be bugs here and there which we will come to term with it.Congrats for upgrading it to the latest version.

This is what many people are thinking of and looking forward to with anxious mind. President Bush recently has said that America cannot ignore the emergence of Asian giants China and India, espcially in terms of Economy. And if you search around the Google search you will get many results on those points as well. Definitely, along with China, India is raising. The advantage of India over China is the manpower who have a good command over English. And to come to the point that customers don't like their customer support being answered from Outside their country - this is just a common sense which people will come to term with it soon, because that's what make business sense for the businessmen in those concerned countries. In fact, customer support centers and those related stuffs are not a big thing. There are many other things which today's developed countries have had outsourced to a country like India, China, Brazil and other countries.

Yes, Like BuffaloHELP said the trap seventeen host and host of our sites (members' web sites) are different and when the former is down the later may not be down at all. I have not experienced this problem atleast recently. What we must not forget is most host sites on the internet go down at time, even paid hosting sites. However, the downtime will be informed to the members in advance in some cases, which will be due to technical reasons. The other case is that it went down due to virus attack which is totally unprecendented. But most of the time they back up everything so, it could be up anytime. It shouldn't take too much time in returning to normalcy. Another possibility is if your internet connection is too slow. Forums specially use database and database driven sites are supposed to be a little bit slower than static pages. Therefore, the best way to avoid your posting not being posted is to copy (Ctrl+C) the entire post before you click OK or POST button. I used to do like this most of the time, because the server may face problem or my internet connection might have not face any unprecendented problem. That way one can be saved from the danger of losing the precious post which can generate a good amount of credits.

Like I have said in the other thread almost similar to this, I like content management systems alot, because it saves alot of time on coding programmes but the problem is when something goes wrong. A working idea on php (since most of them are programmed on php language, though there are some asp as well) and also a working idea on database system, specially MySQL. When PHP was upgraded by the host to PHP 5 it caused lots of problems to the cms I was using because some components were not compatible with PHP 5 and couldn't display the pages. Also, when database structure changed or MySQL version used by the host change. It cause alots of problem if we don't know a thing about MySQL. So far the best and that suited my need the most is joomla cms. I suggest you not to use Fantastico because Fantastico may not always contain the latest version of the cms you wanted to install. It is not so complicated to install manually, its better to get the latest version and install manually.

This is one of the strangest news I've ever heard in recent times and that too in the most advanced country in the world - the United States of America. America is having the best laws and everything the best, atleast they wish to have. And to go by that I'm pained to see this Woman, who is amputed without even knowing the reasons why she should be amputed. I wonder if the privacy issue is helping her or not, instead it keeps her more worried.

I've used most of the content management systems available on the net and I would say every cms has plus point which may be different from others. To be exact I've installed and tried out on drupal, dragonfly cms, phpwebsite, php-nuke, postnuke, xoops, mambo, joomla from its infancy days, e107 and etomites. I would say Joomla is the best with the best support. It has got a very bright future with its development team announcing a very clear roadmap for the baby Joomla. And the support one get there is tremendous atleast at this stage. Many developers are there announcing new components and modules, templates, etc every other day. Mambo seems to be losing out with the 4.5.3 coming out with 10MB which according to some expert on mambo says that it is too big a file compare to the previous version only around 1.4MB.Apart from Joomla, the next choice for me is Xoops and then Postnuke. PHP-Nuke will come last since I don't like to see the footer Copyright intact, so does the etomite.

Both php-nuke and postnuke are content management systems abbreviated as cms. Both have many good features. In fact, postnuke is a fork of php-nuke, meaning they came out from php-nuke and develop another cms. Therefore, you may find similarities, but when you start using you will find the difference too. Copyrights of php-nuke and postnuke: In php-nuke you cannot remove the footer copyright unless you pay ($10 US). However, in postnuke you can remove the footer copyright but meta tag copyright must remain so that if the source code of the site is viewed it will be visible. phpbbhacks has many cool addons and templates of pbpbb forums. It is not exactly a cms, it is only the hack site of phpbb forum. If you want to build only a forum site you can use phpbb at phpbb.com or simplemachine forum at simplemachine.org But php-nuke and postnuke will help you build content rich websites not just forum. Forums must be installed in both the nukes, it doesn't come with the original package. You must download separeately from their respective sites. Though both uses phpBB forums but a little bit of modification is required which is done by both the nukes. Find more from their respective websites. I hope this helps.

That is a myth I should say. There is nothing like quality content webpages. If you website is rich in content which makes different from other sites, meaning not just a copy and paste content which are treated by googlebot and other web crawler as mirror sites. To say that blog sites are indexed faster is just a myth. But most blog sites are content rich. Unless you are ready to blog (write something) your blog site is empty and an empty blog site will not be index fast by any search engines. As far as my experience goes, it all depends on the content of the website.

Wow, your designing skill is awesome. Very neat and clean. I like the layout as well as the content. The only improvement I would like to see in your site is the font color. Readability of the font is very important. Links: The register link on top menu is misleading, once we click that it must go to the register page, double linking is not only taking time for visitors to your site but will waste your bandwidth for no purpose. You should update the link soon. You may do away with frameset, http://e.freewebhostingarea.com/not-found.html is getting all contents from http://e.freewebhostingarea.com/not-found.html if you do like this search engines index probability is lower. Try to use your genuine blog url to be visible to visitors as well as search engines.

Firstly, after a good glance at the first article I was a kind of confuse because the flying car in question doesn't look like one at all. It looks like some thing is there but not like a flying car. I could be some thing out there, but it doesn't look like one in the air also.The second article is interesting and I'm reading more to understand. It looks quite interesting.

Hi Opaque!Thanks and congratulations on moving Xisto forums to a better server. This way downtime should be avoided completely. I think Xisto and its sisters or network sites are providing the best possible hosting solutions to the net users around the world. I wish you continue to grow bigger and bigger. With thanks.

It is never too late, just inform your friend(s) not to visit click your advertisements unless the ads itself are what they wanted to see and visit. There is a huge difference in click-through between clicking for money purpose and <- snipped -> for wanting to know more about the ads. Google guys are smart enough to know the difference. And the best way is not to tell even your friends about the ads. Let them visit the site and see the advertisements.}
