    Actually OpaQue is editing the myCents script...thats why all these problems. I thought this problem was solved...but still contunuing...now my myCents were reset to zero and two xistodollars were deducted from my account as well. :) Only admins can answer our questions...already a topic is there about this issue but was closed by marking as resolved..Edit: SM had given the link to that topic..SM please request any moderator to reopen the topic, since the issue is not resolved.Oops....I lost 4 xistodollars....not two :)

    Anyway, any move is good. Now that ads are disabled for members, we'll have better load time for forums. :)

    But now all our earnings depends on Xisto's search engine capability, as most of the guests come from search results..
    and only quality posters(with useful posts) will earn some revenue, because people only search for useful topics :)

    Basically a parked domain and addon domain are different. A parked domain will be useful if you want to redirect a new domain name to the same website. And an addon domain will be useful if you want to host a new website within the same hosting account.

     

    In your case you want to add your .ork.uk domain name to the same website which has Xisto subdomain......

    so you should use parked domain. :)

    India vs England First Test:Very interesting match is going on..after shadows of terrorism. England is dominating now. They dominated with the bat yesterday...and now dominating again with the ball. They had scored 316 runs in their first innings. India is in trouble now. We've scored only 155 runs losing 6 wickets. If we score well tomorrow(very difficult, of course) we'll have chance to dominate...else England will take control over the match.....and we'll see an undesirable result in the match...Coming to the performance of the players..definitely Strauss showed the difference. His 123 innings was excellent. And in bowling Harbhajan and Mishra took 6 wickets indicating that the ball is spinning very well. Coming to the Indian innings top order and middle order failed unexpectedly. Now the complete weight is on tailenders..And coming to Englands bowling Swann is highlight today. And the most disappointing person today is Yuvraj...failed again in tests. I didn't understand why he is failing again and again in tests....Hope our team will play good cricket tomorrow. :)

    I need to say that I am thinking of a more complex system now, in which a member with less than lets say 50 posts can't give reputation, to limit how much reputation you can give in a day (I think vBulletin had this) to make the reputation changeable only in a short time - to fix unwanted mistakes but not to switch decisions just because you suddenly don't like the member.

    Ability to rep only after 50 posts and limiting the reputation for day.....good ideas. They will avoid the possible abuse of reputation system. Hope OpaQue will consider these if he want to get back the reputation system. :) But I can't agree fully with making them unchangeable....people may not notice the mistake immediately after they've given some wrong reputation. Because we have to click on the rep icons if we want to see those reps, which people rarely do.

    anybody got a direct download link for the whole thing [complete install only] (and without going through the hoops of partial downloads as before which is kinda irritating for a dialup user :))??? please? :D

    That annoys me too...Whot will wait that much time to install any software? I tried Chrome when first google released it. I didn't like it and uninstalled it after 1 day. And never tried it again..because online installation is one of the annoying things..and definitely thats a minus for Chrome. I will try Chrome again only if Google release full installer package for Chrome...beta or alpha doesn't matter for me... :)

    I think you misunderstood that one....The name of the Microsoft next OS will be Windows 7...But its not going to be Vienna... Vienna was the code name of Windows 7. Read that wiki again. Already many topics are here discussing Windows 7. :)

    You can find the details in Microsoft's website also. Microsoft released a pre beta version for its Windows 7. You can find the details here....Windows 7 pre beta release

    I'm using XAMPP. The first part of the tutorial worked for me but the second part didn't. I changed the path in two places in my httpd.conf file but my new localhost still directs me to the xampp home and I have to tediously sift through subdirectories to get to the directory which I want to be my default. Sorry for the long sentence, I hope it makes sense. Can anyone help me with this?

    Its working fine buddy....I just downloaded and installed xampp and made the changes as well....working without any problem.

    As I already told just little modifications are needed. The only change need is DocumentRoot....just copy and paste the following code and change your domain and website details as I instructed below...

     

    First open the httpd.conf in the C:\xampp\apache\conf folder.

     

    Then at the end of the code add the following

     

    NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>ServerName localhostDocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"</VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>	ServerName mysite						#your virtual domain name created in hosts file	DocumentRoot "C:/mysite"			  #replace "C:/mysite" with location of your website 	<Directory C:/mysite>					#enter location of your site here also...	 		Order Allow,Deny		Allow from all	</Directory></VirtualHost>

    After modifications save the file...and don't forget to restart your apache server to see the changes....

    Now type http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/(or the domain you've chosen).....and you should see your website...(another thing...you must have an index page in your website)

     

    Thats it. I just checked it in XAMPP..its working. If you are still facing problems..please post the modifications you did to the httpd.conf file.... :)

    Huh....you're fast Nabb..I'm writing a solution...and you've already posted the solution. So...I discarded my solution.

    Single quotes and double quotes are confusing. So....As a thumb of rule...stick to double qoutes. Use single quotes only if necessary(sometimes you need to use quotes inside quotes.....single quotes are helpful in those situations).

    What Nabb told is correct. Single quotes don't parse variables. Thats why you're seeing undesirable results.

     

    And another good programming practice is use {} to treat them as variables inside strings....for example in your code

    echo "$x";
    You'll face problem if you want to use string inside it...for examle if you add anystring after $xtest..the whole string will be treated as varialbe.....so use the following instead..

    echo "testing {$x}value";
    In the above....the variable is seperated from the string.

     

    And if you use a code editor like Komodo edit...the code will be highlighted and you can see how php engine will treat the code.....like just as a string or varialbe etc.....

    So...you want help in setting up pop3 access for gmail? Or can you do it yourself? And about your second question, I think Xisto is not offering normal email accounts anymore with logic plans. If you want, you have to order and addon package for that. But, when you order a new logic package at Xisto - Web Hosting with your Top Level Domain name..you'll get 10 gmail ids with your package. They work just like normal gmail accounts but with your domain name. :)

    Well even if Google and other Map location services goes paid even then terrorists can purchase subscription 25$ or so for access. So free or paid access can't stop this. But yes, subscriptions can monitor the accounts how users are using the service etc. This way can be useful for such service providers to see if anyone is misusing the service.

    Yes...I agree. Paid or free doesn't matter for them. Even though these services are paid and strictly monitored they can easily
    misuse other innocent people's accounts or in some other way. They had managed to get 33 SIM cards at Kolkata with the help of local people(hmm...local is not correct word for the people helping these terrorists. Even though they born and live in India, they are not true Indians...not humans at all :) ) They used 3 of those in Mumbai attacks.

    If they can get SIM cards with that much ease...getting a paid online account is dead easy for them. As mahesh told..until some countries stop supporting these terrorists this type of attacks will continue. Even if Google or some other map service stopped their services...they can get details of their targets with the help of spy sattellites of these supporting countries...
    So we can't blame Google earth. It is helping a millions of people daily to find their way or some other thing.

    Technology is everywhere...and is a double edged sword. It can be used for good purposes as well as evil purposes...it just depends on the person using it.

    Photoshop is not needed to caputre the images. You can simply caputure the active screen by pressing

    Print Screen(on some keyboards PrtScn) button on your keyboard. Usually you can locate this key in the middle column of your keyboard(where you can see other buttons like Insert, Delete etc..). The image will be copied to your clipboard. Now open Paint and press Ctrl+V. You can see the captured image there. You can save it as bmp or jpg, gif etc... as per your need.

     

    And about your second question, where and why do you want to upload your pictures? Because the answer changes as per your needs.... :) If you just want to upload images to post them on forums go to sites like imageshack.us and press "choose", you will see a dialog box to select the image to upload. Select your image and press Open. Your image will be uploaded to the site and you'll see some links. You can paste those links on forums or on other sites to link your image. If you want to upload your pictures to make an album online....go to sites like "http://photobucket.com/; and create a new account. Then you can upload your images to create an online photo album. :)

    Yes.....its really good news. Full team is coming to India. They are now confident about our security. BCCI had booked an entire hotel(it has more than 200 rooms) in Chennai just for Indian and England cricketers. This is for security reasons. As terrorists are first entering as guests to hotels and then attacking, BCCI don't want to take risk. So booked the entire hotel. :)And another good news is many players from other countries like Ricky Ponting supporting our country. The're saying that there is no cricket game without India....because Cricket is a part of Indians life, and also India is the primary source for Income.... So no need to worry about future tournaments in India...ICC already announced that forth coming World Cup will continue in India...and no doubts about it.... Lets hope everything will go fine.... :)

    Looks nice, I looked for this when I just started developing web applications. But now I don't really see the use of this. As you're the only one who'll be able to use the virtual domain name. I just accepted localhost as the domain to use, and it's easy enough.

     

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but even though this tutorial is great, the use of virtual domain names on localhost is useless. (I really hope I'm wrong, so I'll learn something :))



    Even though you don't get any great benefits with virtual domain name for localhost, they are quite handy when you have multiple websites on your localhost.

     

    For example you have two webistes in your computer, one is your general site, lets call it mysite, and you're developing another website for mail applications mymail. When you want to access these sites you have to type

    localhost/mysite, or localhost/mymail. But f you have these virutal domains you can directly call them mysite/ or like that. So....it is easy to access your site and also looks informative as well.

     

    And also if you assign a good extension to them they'll look like real domain names. So you can feel them as a real domain name for local websites. :)

    This can be applied to Linux users too actually :)

     

    The hosts file is located at /etc/hosts. The httpd.conf file varies between different distributions, but is often stored at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Other than those two changes, the tutorial can be followed in exactly the same way.

    Thanks for the information. I don't use linux that much, so I've no idea about server configurations in Linux. :)

    So...now Linux users can also use this tutorial as well. :D

     

    What about adding virtual domain names in Linux like adding it to hosts file in Windows(redirecting the localhost)? Do you have any idea?

    How to assign a virtual domain name to your localhost.



    With the help of this tutorial you can assign a virtual domain name to your localhost. That is you can access your local website with your favourite name like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ instead of LOCALHOST and also you can assign different virtual domain names to different local webistes.


    Requirements:
    1.This tutorial is for Windows. Linux users can also use this, please follow rvalkass's instructions.

    2.Apache webserver installed. It would be nice if you have WAMP server. This tutorial is based on WAMP server. But it works on any Apache server with little changes.

    Procedure:

    part1:

    1. First go to location "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc" directory.(or where you installed windows). Then open "hosts" file with simple text editor like notepad.

    2. You'll see the following code at the end of the file. 
    127.0.0.1	  localhost

    In the next line add your virtual domain name like the example shown below.
    127.0.0.1	   mysite.web			  #this is virtual domain name.

    3. Now save the hosts file. mysite.web is just an example. You can add anything like "mywebsite.local" and you can use any extension or no extension at all. You can simply add "mysite" also

    4. Now test your virtual domain. Just type http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You must see your wamp page or webservers defalut page. If not you did something wrong. Go through the tutorial carefully.

    Note: Don't use any real domain name like Xisto.com or your own domain name if you have any. If you did so, you cannot access the original remote site. This is because, 127.0.0.1 is loopback address, anything with that address will never leave your computer.

    Part 2:
    Now second part, assigning virtual domain name to your web site in your webserver.

    1. Open your httpd.conf file with Notepad. Click on WAMP icon in the tray, go to Apache menu and select httpd.conf there. You can also open the file by manually go to conf folder in Apache folder.

    2. Create a new folder mysite in your C directory. And create a new web page index.html. These are for testing purposes. If you have a local website, specify the full path of website in below code.

    3. Now add the following code at the end of the httpd.conf file.
    NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>	   ServerName localhost	   DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"			#this is default wamp root for websites</VirtualHost><VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>	ServerName mysite.web			#your virtual domain name	DocumentRoot "C:/mysite"		#location of your site, no extenison needed#the following are security settings, allow you to access directory outside the www directory			   <Directory C:/mysite>			#again location of your website 		  Order Allow,Deny		  Allow from all			   </Directory></VirtualHost>
    Save httpd.conf file. Restart your WAMP server. now type http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. You'll see the index page of mysite.

    Adding Another Virtual Domain and Website:

    If you want another website, first add another virtual domain in hosts file as shown in part1.
    And then copy and paste the following code at the end of httpd.conf file. Just change the virtual domain name, and locations of website.

    <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>	ServerName mywebsite.web			#change this virtual domain name	DocumentRoot "C:/mywebsite"			#location of your site, change this.	   <Directory C:/mywebsite>			#again location of your website, change this				  Order Allow,Deny				  Allow from all	   </Directory></VirtualHost>
    You can add as many websites as you wish. Just repeat the above procedure.

    IF you have any doubts about this tutorial, post them here.
