I don't think this is an Asta/Trap problem - even if your IP is somehow blocked on your account, you should be able to se a "Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" page at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. However, if your IP is blocked on a more global level, though I don't see how it could be, only OpaQue can help you.

Which version are you using? If it is an older one (e.g. 2.0.0), there are security holes in IPB itself, so it doesn't have to be a mod that has allowed the attacker to delete all the posts. A list of installed modifications would also be of help.As for getting the posts back, unless they were deleted to the recycle bin, there is no way of recovering them, sorry.

It will probably be more precise than Wikipedia, but a lot of time will be required in order for it to reach such a significant amount of articles. On the brighter, I definitely prefer Google's design over Wikipedia's. We'll see what comes out of this, but I am pretty sure this will increase the Internet's overall value

Once you have earned 10 or 30 credits (which you can view near the top of the index forum page), you need to apply for hosting in the FREE WEB HOSTING : NEW ACCOUNT REQUEST forum. With 10 credits you can apply for the hosting package #1, and 30 for #2. After doing so, an administrator will review your request and posts and approve your hosting account (or deny if your post quality isn't high enough). Only then can you access your web site, including the latest cPanel. You can use your account as along as you maintain your credits above zero. When your hosting request gets approved, your credits start decreasing - one credit for one day. That means that you constantly need to post in order to keep the above zero, thus keeping your account alive. As for the maximum upload size, once again I am not sure - my account on Xisto - Web Hosting shows 2MB when PHP info is display, but I know I have uploaded larger files. Other features include both MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, Cron Jobs, addon and parked domains, web statistics, mail accounts etc. I didn't list all the features, so if you need a specific one, you know where to ask.

1. For each post you receive a certain amount of credits, depending on the length of the post itself. Some sections (the general talk ones) do not give you credits, and the Tutorials section gives you additional credits. When a posts get deleted for some reason, you are penalised, and you are taken 150% of what you gained for that post. 2. It is a post-for-host system. You earn credits by posting, and then use them to "maintain" your server. Xisto is mostly funded by Xisto - Web Hosting (paid hosting), which is just another part of the Xisto family (just as Xisto is), but there is also a small revenue from ads on Xisto. 3. This is a very delicate issue - if you are the copyright holder, of course you can. On the other hand, if you are not, there are now special Xisto rules you would have to abide, but bare in mind the copyright laws existent in the real world also apply for the Internet. So, if you copy a text without even linking to it (even with a link it might be "illegal"), you definitely have a problem. 4. I can confirm that PHP's mail() function works properly, and am pretty sure that SMTP and Sendmail are enabled, but you will have to wait for a confirmation for the last two. If you have any more qualms, feel free to express them

Had this problem myself just yesterday, all because I wanter clear, Windows fonts. Obviously, just copying the font won't work, but there is a package that does just what you need. First of all, delete whatever you copied, as you won't be needing at. Next, run the terminal and enter the following commands: sudo apt-get install msttcorefontsfc-cache -fv This will install the most important Windows fonts (Arial, Tahoma etc), with the exception of Verdana. For this, you will need to go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, download tahoma32.exe, and follow the instructions on the same site. And voila - you can now use Ubuntu without hurting your eyes

Thumbs up for the recoded (and redesigned) credits system As well as for the feedback "control panel".

I'll second that Happy Birthday

There is - it says "SIGN UP FOR FREE HOSTING!"

A Cron Job would be the easiest, but not the most efficient solution, as it may be an overkill for the server. First of all, you would have to have a MySQL column indicating the time of the last activity. If you run the script every 15 minutes, let's say you want to log out users that haven't done anything during those 15 minutes. Supposing that you store that last activity time as a UNIX timestamp in the database, this would be the simplest query: $query = 'SELECT `what_you_need` FROM `table` WHERE `logged_in` = 1 AND `last_act` + 900 < '.time(); After that, all you have to do is log out each result row. You may also want to have a look at how different bulletin boards function. IP.Board, for example, doesn't use Cron Jobs at all, but has "user(s) active in the past 15 minutes". Since there are many big forums using this software, the script it uses obviously isn't too greedy

I'm hosted on the ETA server, and my username is mgforum. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the Cron Job, as the script does get run, but it produces an empty backup and sends no e-mail. The same happens when I run it manually, too. Also, I haven't opened a ticket as this doesn't pose a real problem to me - it's just a script that's not doing what it should.

I have a PHP script that is ran on a daily basis through CronJobs (by using wget). The script compiles a MySQL database backup, stores is on the server, and sends it to my e-mail address. However, as of the 19th November (when I received the last backup), it is not working for some reason. I tried to run it manually, but without success. Has there been any PHP or MySQL update recently which might have effected this script?Also, while the script was working, there was an odd issue which I didn't mind at all, but it might be a good thing to mention it. The backup script was set to run every day at 03:00, which it did, but it also ran at 09:00 Maybe I overlooked something...

I think I've had the same "problem" myself when I got an account at Xisto - Web Hosting. It took some time for my account to be activated (half an hour or so), during which I panicked quite a bit But as this is not really an error or anything like that, I can easily say that the past two months with Xisto - Web Hosting were thoroughly enjoyable and bug-free

Well, the termination script is a bit problematic. I, for example, was moved to the member group (therefore losing my moderator rights), and now that I am a mod again: HOSTING CREDITS : (-)13836.16 (Negative)

Inline CSS should work properly - I am looking at an mail in GMail with them and there is no problem.

It's all about the headers (or at least it should be), so take a look at this example at php.net: http://php.net/function.mail Basically, you would just need to add these two header lines two your e-mail: $headers = '(anti-spam-(anti-spam-mime-version:)) 1.0' . "rn";$headers .= '(anti-spam-(anti-spam-content-type:)) text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "rn"; ~edit~ The forum won't allow me to write this piece of code properly (due to anti-spam protection), so look for these two lines in the example.

You got lucky

You will need to wait a day or two, and after that the domain will point to your public_html folder.

Try this instead RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^profiles/index.php [NC]RewriteRule ^profiles/(.*) profiles/index.php?name=$1 I'm not that good when it comes to .htaccess, but it seems to me that you must prevent redirection when (.*) is index.php?name=...

Heh, didn't think of checking MySQL functions

There are no such functions in PHP5, or at least according to http://php.net/.

Just as turbopowerdmaxsteel said, .htaccess is all you need RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^directory/(.+)$ /directory/script.php?directory=$1 Regular expression, which are used in .htaccess files, might be confusing in the beginning, but they are an extremely powerful tool. ^directory/(.*)$ will match all the URLs which start with http://www1.domain.com/directory/ and end with any text, which we capture with the use of paranthesis - the dot signifies any character, and the plus sign means "one or more of the previous" (which is in our case any character). After that, we just use $1 as a reference to the first thing we captured, or in other words the .+ part. After that, it's all PHP.

Both http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ work for me...

Nope, I don't know either of them by heart, I just visit php.net every time I need them And this time I wasn't careful when I read the order

That should do it, as long as the bb2html functions properly
