That should be fairly simple. Supposing I have a file called image1.jpg which has been placed in a folder called graphics under the public_html folder of my hosting account. The direct URL to that file will be: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or in case you have an Xisto subdomain, mysubdomain.astahost.com/graphics/image1.jpg Likewise with all other files/folders.. just include the relative path to the file, assuming that public_html is your root and append that path to the main site URL. Hope this will make it a bit clear. Regards, m^e

Guys, All the best in your endeavours. Do well.Regards,m^e

Glad to be of help. Issue resolved. Topic closed.

Check out http://www.eye4u.com/ - one of the best flash designers' portfolio sites I've ever seen. Be sure you check out their Galleries, where they have numerous examples of their work - including sites designed for Ford and some other major brands worldwide. Second site - an awesome psychedelic flash animation. This is a MUST SEE. Guys head right over to: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Once the whole animation loads, simply left-click and drag left to zoom in and right to zoom out - keep holding your mouse down that way and watch away in utter amazement Tell me how you liked it - I just came upon it a couple of days back.

Done - with a bit of trouble.. You'd already created an alternate login on the forums with the nick "cyph3r" - I'd to delete that and then reset "dhanesh" to cyph3r. You should have received notification by email too.Regards,m^e

Yup if you follow the link that technocian has mentioned you'd find another link on the same page for terminating your hosting account.Hope you won't stop coming to our board though - you're more than welcome, as always All the best for your studies... Regards,m^e

Heh.. anyways, you are right - one credit = one real world day. But as I pointed out, this is clearly mentioned in the second topic of the FAQ I posted here.

You can edit - since you're not hosted. The edit button is still available to you till you apply for hosting and is granted an account. It is only after this that people are found to abuse the feature - so editing rights are taken away at this point. Regards, m^e

I'd go along with comateen in saying that - IF, you're shooting for the mere pleasure of photography, you shouldn't retouch the pictures. Using on-camera filters is a different story, but retouching it the way you did, no longer makes it an authentic photograph. All the details of your composition is spoilt.As for the third photograph, there's some excellent play of light & shade going on in the close background. You should have taken a closer-shot of upper torso, placing the subject in such a place that the same light & shade plays on her features - rendering the effect of light falling through venetian bilnds to some extent. That'd make an excellent composition.

We maintain a FAQ dealing with questions just like this. Refer to the following topics, and if it's not clear even after that, you can put in your query here. 1. How many credits can I get for a post? 2. How is Hosting Credits related to my hosting account? Regards, m^e

What doesn't make more sense is that - everything on those discs WORK despite the bad checksum !!

Oops my bad Its 2 GB for starter and 5 GB for regular/upgrade

Hold it guuys - lets not make this thread a repetition of the one on Xisto .. this was on Xisto and lets keep it to that. No more flaming please - or else, I'll be forced to close down this thread. For discussions on Social, Moral or Ethical issues you can fork off this thread and start a new one under LifeTalk in a suitable subforum.

There's an alternative to cPanel named Plesk (http://www.parallels.com/) - it's got a pretty good GUI but functionality wise it's not even half as good as cPanel.Webmin is meant more for internal server administration - not really designed as a control panel for webhosting, as it lacks a lot of those features that you find on cPanel. But its an excellent server management tool - no qualms about it.

Mind if I correct you a bit Nybb. The 150 megs you are talking about is the amount of disk-storage space you get for stashing your site files. The monthly bandwidth you get is 2GB - which is more than sufficient for any small-medium sized sites unless your site consists of a huge chunk of Videos and MP3s. Then starts the problem - your bandwidth just gets gobbled up in no time, after maybe 30-40 people have downloaded all your videos and mp3s.

They are also extorting big money for domain registration services: These are astronomically high rates when you consider GoDaddy.Com selling most of these to you within a range of $7 - $15 per year. I was shocked to find out about their rates.. who in the right frame of mind would order from them ?? But then again since they are running the service, it seems they have got customers.. What gigantic IDIOTS. urgggh !!

Use a download manager like FlashGet as download it from one of the University based mirrors of FC. That'd do the trick.

Yeah working perferctly. Another funny thing - discs 3 & 4 fail on MD5 checksums - but the whole data is intact, i.e. you can install all appz and utilities from them and yet they give md5 checksum error. Funny as hell.

Hi guys, I (rather my friend) figured out a funny solution to the Kernel panic issues with FC4 Disc 1 when you try to install it. I'm sure many of you including yours truly has faced this situation when you boot from the first cd and try to install on a system with a SATA drive. The bootup halts abruptly issuing a Kernel Panic message. I couldn't find any possible explanation for this. A few similar cases have been reported in this thread. What was more bewildering was the solution - which one of my friends came upon accidentaly. When you get the first bootup prompt boot: - you're supposed to pick your kernel and/or pass additional bootup parameters right ?? At this prompt, enter any random junk and press enter. The bootloader will try to find that kernel and unable to locate it, it'll issue a second boot prompt similar to the first one. Simply press Enter and BINGO .. It boots.. without a single hitch I tried this out on my home system and it worked exactly as my friend told me. Now my request is to anyone facing a similar problem to try this method out and report back whether it worked for them or not. I'd really like to know. Also if anybody comes across any possible explanation of this freakish behaviour Regards, m^e

I think you should read up some articles on creating an interpreter. That should help you crack the nut. First of all - unlike compiler, you have no need to write lexical & syntactical analyzers i.e. parsers - you can address the code line-by-line .. and then act accordingly. All scripting languages use some sort of an interpreter running in the background. So I'd say interpreter is the way to go.. Check out some basic articles on it - they might help: 1. http://www.javaworld.com/ 2. http://memphis.compilertools.net/interpreter.html 3.http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux-Gamers-HOWTO/interpreters.html 4. Also check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/168-0033276-9924877?ie=UTF8&v=glance

I'd tend to disagree with the "blob data being more insecure because mysql is crash prone" way of thinking. I've written a school management software which handles well over 4000-5000 images of students+teaches+office staff sent in by various phototaking terminals spread around the campus - all instantly directed to a mysql server over the network (mysql 4.1.11 on RHEL AS 3). The transfer is instantaneous and the feel you get is that this image has been saved on a local drive. The network is a standard ethernet 100-Base-T network wired using CAT-5E UTP. Also whenever any student swipes his/her card at a terminal the image is instantly pulled out of the central server and transmitted to the local swipe terminal. This occurs around 3800times in a span of 30-40 minutes in the early morning checkin hours. Even with such a massive traffic you don't even notice a slight lag. Avg. picture size is 20-30K in jpg format. As long as your network is not suffering from any bottleneck anywhere this isn't a problem at all. The system's been in place and running for past 7-8 months without any kind of crash whatsoever. For those paranoid about a crash - a very easy way out is to run a parallel mysql replication slave which performs automated incremental/differential backups of the main database whenever changes are made to it -- in effect creating a mirror copy of the master database on another server. That takes care of the whole issue I'm not suggestging this method when you don't have your own hardware setup similar to what I mentioned above - what I want to stress on is that this approach is not as crash-prone as you might care to think.

Supposing you have two tables - one containing usernames and some other details and another table containing the user's address, telephone number etc.In table A, your primary key is the auto incrementing field - incresing by 1 for every new user added to the database. This field is also the foreign key to the table B - which stores the addresses. thus using this autoinc field you can map an username to it's corresponding postal address in table B. Supposing you deleted record 5 and the index now starts from 6. This affects only table A - what happens to all those records after 5 in table B ?? They get linked to some new username which appears at location 6 - totally corrupting the data. Table B has no way of knowing that a record has been removed from A and that it should adjust it's own index values accordingly. This is why once the count reaches a certain number it stays there and doesn't go back to the last deleted index - no matter how many records you delete from in between.This gives rise to another problem though.. All of a sudden you have a whole bunch of orphaned records in table B - addresses for which the original username have been removed from table A.. what do you do with these ?? Under these circumstances - you either delete the records with same index from both tables - or fill up the records with blanks in both. Either approach works. As for your case - you can still pick a random value from num_of_mysql($result) - except that once you read that record - check whether the first field is blank or not. If blank, generate another random value and repeat the above step, till you reach a record that's not blank. This is a better approach than reading the whole thing into an array and running the random routine on it.Regards,m^e
