xpress

I installed XAMPP on Windows Vista. The only problem installing was that when the computer would restart the service cannot start on its own. I tried few things to make it run but some how Windows Vista's User Access Control blocks the service from starting automatically. And this is even after marking startup as Administrator.

 

So currently I have disabled UAC and the restart of the machine starts XAMPP without a hitch.

 

There's got to be some step I'm missing...

You want to run XAMPP control panel as service? I don't know about Vista, but if it works the same way as XP..it must have something like services(services.msc), in which you can decide which programs to start automatically and which programs not...may be you can change the Startup type to automatic there... If you have already done so and still facing problem, sorry I can't help much with Vista

First proceed with installation...no need to edit any file while installing the xampp. After installation post your problems and I will guide you...

Thank you OpaQue. I'll check.....and I'll post the result here... :)Edit: Changed the ip address twice...looking like problem solved. Thanks again..

Whoa express. How often does your internet connection register a new ip? I know that happens when I have to reconnect my internet because file download sites limit my ip and I have to re log in to Xisto again. I'm just wondering how your ISP works over there with internet connections if it assigns new ips frequently thats annoying and I am glad I dont have your problem.

My computer gets a new ip everytime I restart my computer or my ADSL modem (Yes I too restart my modem perodically to bypass download limits ) . And sometimes it will be disconnected and reconnected automatically (may be problem with my ISP) and that is the time I'm getting autorization mismatch errors at Xisto.

As for xpress I think the best way to go is get a cheap router like linksys WRT54G and then use that as a way to get a static address and that might help with your problem.

Want me to buy a new router Just to access Xisto? Since many members are facing the same problem I think there is a better solution for this. As there is no problem like this with old forum, Admins have to look at the cookies once and if they modify them this problem will be solved, I think.

As I mentioned in my first post, I CAN'T reply. I'm going to have to find somebody's email address and forward this message to them to post for me. Posted on behalf of Sheepdog by jlhaslip

Well...try this once as a temporary solution. Goto the proxy server Guardster free proxy and login to our forums through it and try to post. Atleast you can directly post your problems yourself, I think. Just post here whether it is working or not...

Hi, I am using xampp 1.6.1 as localhost.

I was following your instruction but I got problem at step 8: Database(MySQL) configration page.

<p>I did exactly what you wrote and also name joomla for database name but when I click next it say ERROR:</p>

<p>Unable to connect to the database: could not connect to MySQL.</p>

Well...What is your mysql username? Is it root? or something else? If you are using a different user account for MySQL then you have to enter that username instead of root in step 8. And also check your password to connect your database.. you have to enter the exact username and password you are using to connect mysql... use root and root account's password, only if you are using root as your defalut account....still having problem? post the exact error here

I'm also facing the similar problem after the forum upgradation. Every time my system gets a new ip address (dyanami ip internet connection) I have to manually login again. And some times when I finished typing a post and clicked on

Add Reply button I'm getting an error authorization mismatch and asking me to ligin again. And that shoutbox issue is the most irritating. I'm facing this problem in Win XP and Ubuntu as well. Browser is not an issue....same problem in 3 browsers....

Hmmm...I suggested the solution after reading your post. I forgot the title of your page. One easy solution is installing your wordpress again with the new domain name. I know this won't help you as you already had important content in your wordpress. If not try it. And you know the second solution. That link has the complete solution. It has step by step instructions. I don't know much about Wordpress but those stpes looking somewhat easy. Try them once.....sorry I can't help you about wordpress

WOW......tasty snacks. What a coincidence..three of them are my favourites. I like Samosas, Jilebi and Jangri(We call Imarthi as Jangri in our state) very much. Jangri is highlight of all. I don't know anything about Kachori...is it Poori?

i thought indians love spicy dishes. those dishes that have lots of unions.

Yes enhu.....we love spicy dishes very much....

If you want to redirect your subdomain to your main domain please follow the instructions.

 

Go to your cpanel and click on Redirects in the Domains tab.

Look at Add Redirect . At http://(www.)? select your sub domain name.

And at redirects to type your new domain name. Then click on Add.

 

Note..leave the default options Permanent(301) and Redirect with or without www. Permanent(301) is very important for SEO.

 

Now if you enter your sub domain name in browser..you'll be redirected to your main domain. That means your new domain name appear in the browsers address bar. Any other doubts? post here.....

First of all I need to say that I was thinking of installing Linux on it, but I don't know which distro is fine for it and though I say that I don't expect something like Ubuntu, but honestly said DSL sucks, it's horrid, it looks more horrible than Win 98 and I can't accustom to it (if you have any other suggestions, please write here).

I don't know which linux suits that configuration perfectly other than DSL. But you may try Deli Linux. It is very small and designed for very old computers. Look at it here.. Deli Linux. May be you'll like it. First look at the screen shots.

Yes, a modem with a leaflet was supplied by my ISP, but it didn't contain a CD and the leaflet contained instructions on how to connect to the internet with WindowsŽ Vista™ or WindowsŽ XP but for older version you needed to contact them via phone - which honestly I'm too lazy to do now 

Try calling them. May be they will give you some software that can assist you in setting up a pppoe connection. Leave your laziness for some time

Currently I'm testing it on my localhost. Looking nice. Its user interface is really attractive and cool. And also has most of the important features we all need. I tried all the themes they are giving for free. One of them is good and all others are useless. But its default theme is better than all. Definitely user interface is the highlight of this forum. Nothing confusing. Unlike some other boards I tried, you'll definitely understand what you are doing at AEF. This one is definitely worth trying. Download and install it on your computer and try yourself.

okay, first, they didn't ban my up. l am currently talking with them, so i know that. i'll go back to them but they will later put me back here.

Check your hosts file once..is your domain pointing to localhost instead of your real site?(hosts file is at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\). Just check it once...

 

Also check your firewall settings...did you block any sites using your firewall? Check the blocked list. May be you mistakenly blocked your site...

 

And another one is..had you blocked any ip address using IP Deny Manager in your CPanel and mistakenly blocked your ip? check it also once....

 

And finally, I'm not sure...but may be some DNS problem from your ISP? Contact your ISP. Because it is working for all except you.

These are some possible causes for your problem as far as I know...please verify them all..

Dear friend I generally after creating a php page test it with my web hosting service provider I don't know but I think its a difficult one to make your own server to just test your php pages.?

Its not difficult to install your local server contactskn. Its very easy. I'll tell you a simplest method. Just download WAMP Server. Install it in your computer. Then put your php files in the WWW folder. Start the WAMP Server. Then open your browser and type LOCALHOST/yourfilename.php . Thats it. Very easy.

Try it once and you'll understand that it is pretty easy than uploading and testing on remote server. I'll help you if you need any further help

As far as I know Windows 98 does not support the WAN Miniport PPPOE interface. You need to install special software for it. (No need for these in winxp and linux). Usually if your modem is supplied by your Internet Service Provider you'll receive a special software cd with it. So you'll need that software to connect. If you don't have those...please look at the following website. It has information on how to setup PPPoE in Win98 and links to some fixes from microsoft. RAS PPPoE

I think the problem resides in your motherboard. If that then you cannot do anything on your own. Take it to your local computer servicing center. Before that try Removing your RAM, clean it and insert it again. Try interchanging the RAM slots and check. Most of the problems are due to RAM. Clean the motherboard if it has dust. And also check the temperature of your CPU...over heating also causes the problem. If still problem continues take it to servicing center.

Yes...I can also see that website...FSX Forums......there must be some problem with your hosting provider...please check. May be that hosting provider blocked yor ip address, I think. Try accessing your site with this proxy website Guardster proxy site, you can see your website.

Thank you for the welcome to the forums and hosting. I'm wondering how many post will i have to have under my belt before i will be able to start hosting my domain with the Hosting service? At least it is Different and an interesting forum with lots of topics which is nice for a change of pace to my usual forum posting haunts.

Actually number of posts doesn't matter here. How much myCents you earned with your posts is important. First go and register at https://support.xisto.com/ with the same email address you used to register here. Than after 5 posts you'll see some MyCents below your avatar.(you may have to wait 4 to 5 hours to see your myCents). After you earn $1.99 go and order hosting package at the same address given above. All the best....start posting to earn more myCents

Oh yes....congrats lee, we won.....we won! I can't believe this. I must admit I hadn't expected this. I thought our team will play to draw the match. But my expectations gone wrong. I think this is the first time our team played like this. And this is one of the valubalbe victories India ever had. Sehwag and Gambhir laid the foundation and Sachin and Yuvraj finished the game. Sachin's century is definitely highlight of the match. He'll be more satisfied with this century than any other else. Because he never scored a valubalbe runs in 4th innings. So he will be very happy. And another happy player is Yuvraj...this innings will continue his career in test matches...he was at the danger end of his test career. But I was disappointed with the man of the match award. I think Strauss is the real man of the match in this test. If the man of the mach is for individual performance...Strauss played very well than any other player in this test. Thats why England dominated the match for 4 days.Whatever....there will be much more interesting match at Mohali. All the best India and England....

I don't use CSS at all. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't have enough functionality to bother learning it. I mean, controlling text to be the same on every page... that's not that great. All of my needs are taken care of by using the "include" function in PHP and writing pages in HTML.

CSS isn't that much hard Forte. It is pretty easy....and will give you much more control over the layout and look of your website. CSS is fully functional. You can do many things with CSS...which you can't do alone with HTML.

I'll tell you with some example. Suppose you have a website completely designed only in HTML, and later decided to remodel the look of the website. Then you must manually change the code in the every page. Conent may be same....but all code should be changed to change the look. But if you have for your website....you don't have to change a single webpage to change the look. Yuu can simply change a single Style Sheet (CSS) to completely change the look of your site. Thats the power of CSS.

In CSS controlling text may not same on every page....its your choice. You can define as many classes as you wish to control the display of a page. You can control all HTML tags with CSS. And you can even go for further complexity. For example you can choose one color to <h1> and another color to the same <h1> tag which appear between <div> tags....and so...on....
Simply CSS will make your web designing experience much more easy and interesting.

To me, the W3C saying that HTML shouldn't be able to do color and font tags, and that should be left to CSS is the same as saying "Well when you walk into a Chinese resturant, you have to speak Chinese." It's extra effort put forth when the first language sufficed.

I don't know about this saying..but I will give you my own saying ....Using HTML for styling your website is like stitching clothes to your skin permanently. Using CSS is like wearing T-shirts, Jeans etc...you can change the dresses and colors whenever you like. Which is better?

A very interesting match today....tough competetion between bat and ball. But I think the ball will definitely dominates. The first session is very important. Already the ball is turning very well. If we lost two or three wickets....our team will go to defensive side and will lost all others wickets. This is our history. Lets wait and see how will our team play.....breaking the history or continues? coming to yesterdays game.....Strauss again hit a ton. If England wins the match.....all the credit goes to Strauss and Collingwood. They played very well on this hard to bat pitch. And Sehwag played a damaging innings. Thas why we're at somewhat safe position. Else we could call this is lost match yesterday....I think Sehwag will be fined for expressing doubt about his LBW and adviced umpire to improve his decisions. I think it is not his job and will get him into troubles...

Well the topic is kind of misleading or rather the description of the topic since the Browser speed wars are between Firefox 3 and google Chrome. I believe Opera 10 A is in 4th place with Safari, Chrome and Firefox 3.1b2 in first, second and third place respectively and the latest bench marks prove that Opera is no longer the fastest browser in the world.

I can't agree....I don't believe in those benchmarks. After studying many benchmarks for different products(not just browsers, different types of softwares) I came to the conclusion that most of the benchmarks are the opinions of their respective reviewers(may be they are supporting their opinions by providing these benchmarks). If not...how can these benchmarks differ by reviewer?

 

And coming to this browsers issue....I can say Opera is the fastest of all(I had conducted my own benchmark ).

The speed of any browser doesn't mean how fast the browser downloads the page. It depends on many other issues like rendering the page, usability etc..Opera renders the page very very fast, And Usability is one of the important factor for me to decide Opera is the best.

 

For example take its inbuilt option..Mouse Gestures. It can make your internet experience much more easy...Usually I save lot of images from web..and with opera I can sve the images just by Ctr+Click. Very easy..to create a new tab ...duplicating the tab and many more. And another one is inbuilt Speed Dial feature. These features will save lot of your time...can't you call it speed?

 

I know I can get these functionalities in firefox by installing extensions..but installing many extensions make our browser worse...After installing some of these extensions my firefox is using lot of RAM. But with Opera..you can get most of these features without installing any extensions. Speed dial in google Chrome is worst. Actually we can't compare Chrome with these two browsers...Chrome is still a kid, lets take it into account after it became a fully featured browser.

I can write many other reasons to support Opera... but I'm stopping here as this post is getting larger...

 

Finally in my opinion Opera is the best of all..and my second choice is FireFox...

Well I was told that the script that was causing all these losses has been turned off until the bugs are worked out and as for why I have no idea what was causing this problem. All I know is the script related to spamming and I what capacity of forum spam I have no idea.

oh........Nice to hear that...but what about our lost xistodollars? I got only $2 back...and still lost $2. Is there any chance I can get them back?

I lost about 3 myself but today it seems to be working okay? I hope. Would be nice if one of the admin or even Xisto's would send out a note telling why these losses. Just a thought.

Nice to see that yours are working normally. I'm still lost .......4 xistodollars...Hope this will be fixed soon. Currently post more and lose more policy is running here..... just kidding.......

Wishing again......Happy Birthday truefusion....Enjoy your day......
