Do You Need A Content Management System? Then Read This...
odomike replied to odomike's topic in Websites and Web Designing
It doesnt work that way XeNoToS. It is web designing made easy. They are special softwares meant to assist people who are new in web designing in designing and optimizing their websites and also manage the content of their websites without much troubles with codings and all that. You dont need to be a web programmer to use a content management system (CMS). All you need to know is the knowledge of computer and been able to understand the terms been used in the CMS. Why dont you try it? It will really help you a lot. -
ODOMIKE If HTML isn't your thing and you're planning a website with lots of content, you might want to consider using a "Content Management System," also known as CMS. With CMS, content is stored in a database away from the site's templates, which makes it impossible to destroy the design structure of the site when editing. CMS systems allow anyone to edit his or her website, regardless of technical skill level. Pages can be added or changed easily without knowing any intricate coding. Many websites that use CMS resemble a portal design. This type of system also works well if multiple people or departments will be making updates to the website. Most CMS systems must be installed on your web server and require that PHP and usually MySQL also to be installed. Once you decide that CMS is for you, you'll need to decide on which software you'll want to use. Many content management systems are "open source," which means there is no charge to use them and most come with complete documentation for setup and use. Most all of them also offer support forums if you run into problems when installing or you need to ask a specific question. Let's take a look.. 1. CMSimple Small open source program that's less then 50KB. It's free to use but contains a link back to CMSimple's website. If you're willing to pay $40.00 to register the software, you can remove it. This program is written in PHP and runs on Linux and Windows32. It does not need a database as the entire site is stored in one simple HTML file. 2. Typo3 Free again and open sourced software that comes with alist of default plug ins such as calendars, forums, guestbooks, polls and more. This software is not for the faint of heart, as there are many customization features along with a big learning curve. 3. Rodin Requiring PHP & MySQL, on your server this open source software consists of 9 small files weighing in at under 12KB. Very simple to get up and running. If you want more functionality, there are extra add-ons that can be downloaded as needed. 4. WEBApp Free software written in Perl and runs on a Unix server. WebApp creates a "portal type" set of pages that includes forums, polls, news and others. This system does not require SQL on your web server, but does require Perl 5. One drawback is the limited number of themes that are supplied. 5. ASPBite A free ASP CMS system with many expandable modules. You'll first need to download and install what's called the "base station" as everything else is built on top of that. Add ons include; polls,feedback forums, FAQ and more. There are more extensive "Pro" modules such as shopping carts and classified ads and others that are available for a fee. ASPBite is easy to use and comes highly rated. 6. PHP-Nuke This software runs on Linux and Windows servers and does require SQL be installed. Very popular and packed with features including; themes manager, banner ad systems, polls, forums, search engines and others. You'll find a lot of web support and andd ons for this popular CMS system. Price $10.00. 7. CityDesk Unlike the others, CityDesk is downloadable Windows based software you install on your PC. A very simple layout that allows you to add articles easily. You won't need any special software installed on your web server to use it. Two versions are available: one free, which allows up to 50 files on any one website or the Professional version, which will set you back $299.00. You'll find City Desk as simple to use as any word processor program. 8. MetaDot This open source portal software is Perl based and allows many user based customizations. Metadot runs on Linux, Apache and requires MySQL. This system would be a great choice for anyone plan- ning a "community site." It comes standard with calendar, polls, end-user personal websites and more. Totally free. 9. DotWidget CMS CMS software made very easy. Features include a built-in WYSIWYG text editor, multiple users and access levels, customizable templates and more. Your web server must have PHP and mySQL installed. You can easily install DotWidget and begin building your site's structure and adding content. No client- side software is required and all editing is done through your browser. Only $49.00. As you can see there are many content management systems to choose from, most of which won't cost you a dime. Before deciding on which one is right for you, you'll need to know what software is installed on your host's server and you'll also want to read over the support forums at each site to get an idea of any known problems or issues with each particular system. A great site for reviewing and rating all types of CMS software is http://www.cmsmatrix.org/. You can check boxes of the software packages you wish to compare and you'll be shown a side by side compar- ison of each along with a full description If you're planning a community site or any type of website that will require constant editing and additions, a content management system might be just what you've been looking for. I am considering using a Content Management System myself in the designing of my new website.Odomike Web Host COMING SOON!!! About the Authur Michael Odo (A.K.A.

Well, I know that the pentium CPUs are very good one and I dont want there to be an end to it. For me, I think that the Pentium CPUs are better than their Celeron, AMD and the rest of them counterparts.Intel only needs to make some nice upgrades and if there is going to be a P5.....well, that will be real nice.LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT...

Click on the filename3. on the right hand side...click on change permissions (might not be completely the same).4. Then click in all the spaces to tick them. 5. click on the button below to change your file permission to 0777.Using FTP client...........1. Start you FTP client2. log into your site's ftp server by going to site manager=>type in your ftp ID and PW (same as CPanel ID and PW)=>submit3. Goto the file and right click on it.4. Click on set pemisions5. click on all the spaces to fill all.6. submit to chmod to 07777. U r done.I hope that helps you pal.

Ads- Cant See In Browser Help Support Trap17
odomike replied to RGPHNX's topic in Web Hosting Support
You dont necessarily need to remove your firewall as thats the securit of your comp. I think that what you should do will be to always click and see if the firewall accepts the new generated pages. If your popup blocker blobks it, hold down the ctrl ket abd click again. That should deactivate your popup blocker once to accept the incoming popup. That should be able to help you.} -

Make sure that you are using the correct CPanel username and PW. it is the same thing as your ftp username and PW. Make sure that you are not using CAPS where you arent supposed to use it.I think the problem should be from this things I mentioned.

Israel And Palestine... Do you think they will live in peace????
odomike replied to malapidp's topic in General Discussion
I dont think that the Isrealis are the people who are looking for trouble. the palestinians, been arabs, are known for their suicide bombing and they are the people who always attack the isrealis with their suicide bombings before the isrealis retaliates more viciously. BTW, i do not think that Arafat was poisoned. By who? will b the BIG QUESTION. I believe that evrything will be fine in that region when the time comes. -
I am going to buy the movie and watch. You know, I love watching comedies and having a great laugh out of the movies.

I think you should follow exactly what Cragllo said you should do. I believe the problem is from your CPanel username. Set that and you will be ok again
