What's the CFM file format ? I'm interested to know. Can you elaborate on it please ?

Actually - as far as I know - instead of having the nameserver pointing to different folders - the redirection happens to different PORTS on the same IP... that's how it's supposed to work out in most cases. These ports lead straight to your public_html - which is set at Apache's DocumentRoot ... so irrespective of whose home drive it is, apache will always look for a public_html and try and load the index.php/html in it.

Oh how cooool I've no clue about IE plugins - if you can do that.. AWESOMEEEE ... yup.. I'll create a quick tutorial about the search plugins.Meanwhile, Thanks for the encouragement guys The plugins installation procedure has been updated - check the first post again. Now you don't need to manually download and unzip the plugin. Simply follow the link mentioned there, and click on the appropriate plugin to install it automatically into Firefox - just like Mozilla's own page for Firefox search plugins...Have fun :lol:Regards,m^e

I can provide you a solution using VB.NET - I can't stand VB6 anymore.. The .NET framework provides you with a class called SmtpMail - which under normal circumstances isn't available for use with Windows forms. It's meant for ASP.NET applications and can be found in the library System.Web.Mail namespace. All you've to do to make it work in your WinForm application is include a Reference to the file, System.Web.dll. This can be done by right-clicking on References in your Project explorer and clicking Add reference. Once you've added this, use the following code to send mails out: Imports System;Imports System.Web.Mail;Dim EmailTo As String 'Emailaddres for user to sendDim EmailFrom As String 'Emailaddres for user from Dim MailSubject As String 'Subject of MailDim MessageBody As String 'MessageDim ServerName As String 'Server Name - importantServerName = "<<Your SMTP server's Name>>"'Similarly, add in EmailTo, EmailFrom etc parameters hereEmailTo = "someone@recipient.net"EmailFrom = "me@mysqlf.net"........'Set the SMTP Server's addressSmtpMail.SmtpServer = ServerName'This is the code that sends out the email based on whatever server information you've set'Enclosed within Try-Catch block to catch exceptions in case of errorsTry SmtpMail.Send (EmailFrom, EmailTo, MailSubject, MessageBody)Catch ex As Exception MsgBox ( "Delivery Failure: " & ex.Source & ex.Message )End Try Hope this helps...Regards, m^e

Yup.. futuristic computer viruses with a hit-tech GUI interface asking you "How do you want to get infected Today?"

It's not just about the page dudes.. look at the speed .. Gmail is about 10 thousand times faster than any over mail service that I know of - except for Fastmail.fm - whose speeds are somewhat comparable to Gmail. Talk about load times with hotmail.. hehOn top of that Features - Gmail's whole concept of conversation style messages - you don't have to ever care about organizing your mails. All messages to-and-fro between you and the recipient are automatically grouped together.. unless you start off with a completely new conversation with him.Third - the Search... the famous Google search on your own mails, right from your inbox.. waahaaa.. I've never had any problems finding any of my older mails ever since..Last but not the least .. the whole concept of Labels instead of folders..and how quickly with a single click you can apply labels.. and move them to appropriate folders only when you click on the Archive link..SPAM filter - hahaa.. Hotmail & SPAM services have a special tie-up or should I say affinity.. I haven't received a single spam mail for past 8 months on Gmail... Hotmail's mailbox gets 99% filled up as soon as you create one.. all these spams start pouring in mysteriously, even though you never used that ID anywhere on the web... aha, leaves one to wonder :lol:What more do you want??? Hotmail is worthless..absolute crap.. Once gmail goes public, hotmail will just die out.. or so I wish.. hard.. with all my life.. burn in the heat of hell, hotmail.Pheww.. vented it out.. finally

read above.. the first line

30 Credits from Plan 1 to 2 What is get you 150MB diskspace and 5GB monthly bandwidth.

Coool Another addition to the PHP and .NET group.. nice to have you here dude. Jump right in and share your coding experiences/stuff with us.. you'll find loads of brilliant resources as you dig more and more into these forums..Welcome to Xisto and have a great stay.Regards,m^e

Yup as long as you create your account at https://support.xisto.com/ - it's all cool. Disregard any message about Xisto. Simply type in your own Xisto subdomain, for example: runefantasy.astahost.com and you'll be all fine. You might even get a warning saying it's not a valid Xisto subdomain.. but disregard that too.

Why don't you apply for Free hosting here ? You've got plenty of credits to get Package 2 - the Regular one. You can carry out all your testing in here and meanwhile search for some other place to run your own service. Did you check out all the terrific features this free host offers ?

Firefox - go for it.. I wouldn't settle for anything else. While it won't allow you to view ActiveX control based pages - it cuts out 60% of the security risk Right There. These activex controls are the worst source of spyware/adware & worms. Firefox by default blocks a horde of different kinds of malware scripts - which would run with all glee on IE.. so there :lol:BTW, warbird - are u German ? Or Dutch ? Dunno - which one, but one of them use "V" in the place of "F" - the way you did here.. Germans I think..

Nope - is IS possible for your Desktop client to communicate with your database at Xisto. Here's how: ========= 1. Lets take an example database "abcd" - when you create a database/user on Xisto, it's prefixed with your cPanel username, right ? So supposing your cPanel username is "myself", your database name will be: myself_abcd 2. Now you need to create an user and grant him with all permissions to the database. Lets create an user called "admin". Even this will be prefixed with your cPanel username.. So your actual db access username will be: myself_admin 3. Grant this user with ALL permissions to that database 4. Now comes the critical part - specifying the ACCESS MASK to this database. Normally it always defaults to localhost. Under this circumstance, you can ONLY access this db using a script/client on your Xisto account. You need to add a separate mask that will allow you to access the database from your own IP. First, find out your own IP. If it is Static, nothing like it. But even if its Dynamic, no problem... Usually for dynamic IPs only the last two octets change everytime you log in... i.e.: Say, your IP is: 100.200.300.400 - only the 300.400 keeps changing every time you login.. So we're going to replace this with the MySQL version of WildCard - % symbol In the last option of cPanel MySQL Databases, you'll find a section named Access Hosts - here you've to enter the string, 100.200.%.% and click Add. We're DONE Now you can directly connect to this database straight from your desktop using your client... Supposing you're going to distribute this client to a lot of users who will upload data into your mysql db - make sure, instead of granting ALL permission, you set the permission to ONLY INSERT & SELECT - that will enable them to add new data and view old data - but not mess around with already added data. For manipulating your database, adding/deleting/tables.. setting permissions etc.. general database administration job - I'd highly recommend this freeware tool named SQLYog which is freely downloadable at: https://www.webyog.com/ Other than that you can also use MySQL's own Administrator and Query Browser.. all of them work just fine Hope this helps - any more help with distributed apps and networked db's let me know.. Regards, m^e

Yup - if both distributions failed in booting on the same computer - it's 100% a hardware problem - specially since they're working on your other system. Why don't you try something - exchange the CD drive with the other one for a while and try installing. If it succeeds, then, well you know where it was going wrong.If not - then it's a bigger compatibility issue - maybe the mainboard or some other conflicting hardware.. something or the other.

Guys guys... read ABOVE.. why do you keep replying the same thing about downloading winrar and trying to extract.. READ THE POSTS ABOVE BEFORE YOU REPLY. You think cragllo's trying to extract those files using his hands ??? Quite obviously he's using WinRAR - and if you'd read the posts above carefully, you'd notice the whole extraction process has been discussed over and over.Crag - my best guess is you've downloaded one of those games hehe.. I know the format - the moment you said it's a .bin and .cue it sounded oh-so-familiar But this does seem to be a problem.. you say .r30 onwards is not being recognized ???? I never faced that situation before.. Let me look around and see if I can come up with a solution...Regards,m^e

Cool. Thanks for giving me a new objective I was wondering what to do next.. Lets see if I can crack this nut Oh.. and I also need reviews on this plugin from those who've tried it already.. about speed, ease of use etc. etc.. whatever you have felt after using it. That'll help me improve it.

Nope. If you do that, it's only bring you up to the main Xisto page, and not to your subdomain. That ip leads directly to http://forums.xisto.com/ Group account takes a whole lot of work - and a dedicated team of 15 people. At the moment the group account plan is almost lying in an inactive stage, as the plan hasn't been utilized at all. If your brother signs up from same IP - no problem. But he'll have to proceed in the same manner, i.e. make proper posts and earn enough credits to get his hosting account. Also both of you have to have different email addresses.

Or simply buy your own domain and link it to your Xisto subdomain - it works as well... other than that you don't have any options.

I find it real funny that how Openoffice can read any word file... i.e. any given MSOffice file - but the reverse just doesn't happen... hehe...

Yup - if you have over 10 hosting credits that you can surely apply for hosting in the New Account Request forum. BUt make sure you use the Request Form to fill out the details. Or else hosting will be rejected. We only review applications that have been filed using that form, coz the official format of application counts a lot. For the link to that form, check the pinned topics in the forum and you'll surely find it. Also, as for your own domain - yes, you can link it with Xisto - and you can do it by two methods. 1. You update your nameservers and make them point to the nameservers of Xisto: ns1.astahost.com and ns2.astahost.com 2. You create a subdomain at Xisto and use URL forwarding from your domain to you subdomain at Xisto. In such a case you'll have to use URL cloaking also, or else, your Xisto subdomain will be visible once your domain forwards your request to Xisto. Out of these two - the first method is more preferable, as the operation is seamless. Regards, m^e

Yup - you're right. Now I recall WinRAR indeed does that... but for clarity's sake I mentioned the first one in the series.. The numbering system still baffles me.. lol.. why the hell would someone want to rename so many volumes.. ?? Urggh !!!

Leeiah - most likely your copy of PHP is still using the authentication method that was used in MySQL 3.x. This is a very common problem. MySQL 4.1 and later uses a new authentication protocol which is not compatible with the libraries that PHP 4 uses. First try setting the option display_errors to 1 in your php.ini file, and restart php+your system. When display_errors is set to 1, it instructs PHP not to suppress error messages - that will help in spotting the exact nature of the problem. Next try your own php code again and see if it gives out an error like "Client does not support authentication protocol" - that is a sureshot sign of this. Now your job would be to update PHP to the latest version (5) and update your MySQL too.. and restart the system. That should ideally solve your problem. You might also consider removing the "@" in front of your $db = mysql_connect, temporarily for debugging purposes. From what I've seen in your case - I'm damned sure its the older PHP version causing this problem. Try and let me know - or else, will tell you another solution (a little brute force way)... Regards, m^e

You're missing the whole point here - energy is not appearing out of thin air. Something's getting consumed pretty much, and that thing happens to be the molecular bond that binds two atoms of Hydrogen together. The bond itself is pure energy, which is released as soon as the bond is broken (almost the same way at atomic fission - but to a much lesser extent. Even for atomic fission, the energy released is from the energy bonds between subatomic particles) ... so in effect, we are actually "consuming" these bonds to release the energy.. the problem is how to tap this released energy and not let it go waste. That's what this whole device and research is about

Yeaah... you cannot do it that way. There should be one file in the series without any of the numbers - i.e. it'll be a plain rar. What I'm surprised at though is that all your files have the .rar extension. When archives are split up like this, the first one in the series ends with .rar - all others get numbered as .r00, .r01, .r02 .... .rXXAnyways - all you need to do is extract the file that doesn't have any number associated with it - RAR will find all the rest in the series and join them together, leaving you with your .bin and .cue files at the end - all neatly combined into big volumes. If you extract each volume manually there's no way to join them together.

Hahahahaaha.. guys.. cPanel's gone whacko... to the core.. I swear ROFL It needs to be sent to corrective treatement center or in other words - an assylum.
