to add to above:do not know if this is true or not, but when you delete through cpanel, the files gets to .trash or something, maybe they still use the space ? for years I don't need anything more from cpanel just some stuff

Hello,I am searching for a way to access my brothers computer Hard Disk through my Computer and see it directly using Windows XP, what I mean, he has 120GB of music and when I am on Windows I got fed up downloading it and listening it in my room. I got used to linux to just mount it as a Partition in the fstab, but on windows I can't find a solution to this.1) He does not want to install samba on his linux "yet another service"2) I do not understand after reading various tutorials how to use NFS on windows, it did not work and he does not want me to help.3) Maybe there is a virtual way or something how I can do it by FTP ? like to play music in my Player from his hdd directly without needing to download it ?I tried google and other forums, but could not find anything useful, maybe someone here has the knowledge to do it. Thanks in advance

Yea, because the quality of the Cpanel, I don't see a point to create anything new, it does a lot and it works great !

it is not a farce though, as i have read it is for people in belgium, for students etc. to get a domain, but only for one year.. the next year you will need to pay.

But even if it gets to the standarts much more than it is now, we will still need to continue making it look as in other browsers for older IE versions, but the screenshots looks a bit funny for me of the IE7

if this is a joke, I don't find it funny

So if I know, it would take a lot of time and knowledge put and if I know you would think I would start creating it for you ? and that would not be a one person project and something like WHM would be much harder to create than just a control panel.don't you need to pay for capnel ?

I registered a .be domain a while back when someone here said they are free, but the site was not in english, but after I got accepted I wasn't really able to point to Xisto nameservers, so I left it, maybe anyone knows how to point it right in their panel ? :S

Well I think similar topics existed as said, but I still will say: I use Gentoo

Well I would never use a browser which is IE based, but just has a different interface, my favourite now is Opera after it got free and I really notice the speed difference between firefox and opera, opera is faster, but firefox with its extensions is powerful/useful for me as a web developer, I always have 8-12 tabs open and when I start, quit, change between tabs, on a high resolution Opera is really faster and when the site source is "big" with lots of html/css/ Opera scrolls faster for me too. Oh but I think I got a little off topic

This looks nice, and it is not hard to make after I read this tutorial, well now I only need to think where could I use it, but I think I already now

and to add, capnel can backup sql as other data too, well, this is quite strange, if he is not a hosted member :F

Well I only played the Myst, first version on Amiga and I really liked it, same type of games on the Amiga platform Labyrinth of Time and Aqua, they were all great for me, but I did not play the further versions of the Myst on the PC

Well if you could look into phpinfo of the server you would find this:it is compiled: --with-opensslRegistered PHP Streams - php, http, ftp, https, ftps, compress.zlibin apache version: mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7a and mod_ssl is loadedOpenSSL support enabledVersion: OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003and many more in the info so it is enabled.

to unimatrix above.yes, i agree, and i am glad that for the past years the old saying has gone "the more MHz, the better"

I wrote this myself, I had been using .htaccess for a long time for personal things, but when I gathered up my info to know this, I just browsed google for maybe ".httaccess tutorial" and browsed some links and used what was useful but the error code explanaitions in the php $e array - I just copied and pasted the text and edited it a bit. by the way, I think that: php_flag serversignature off php_flag servertokens minimal does not work, I am not sure because it is httpd.conf settings..

Wow, I always wanted to remove it, thanks will try to do it as soon as possible.

Some time ago I wrote a little article about dreaming, so here is the link, though I could quote it here too Âť http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ This is my view, Quatrux.

I used to code without any comments for myself, but now when my work needs to be seen by others, I try to comment and write everything clean, the variable names, and so on.. the names of the files, the mysql fields and etc. because the code which only you can understand is almost useless for others. I remember I did not like using tabs, but now I can't live without them, especially when the code is 400 and more lines.

Yes, I agree that it is only useful for important information

it slows down things to many people in the world, because it is a different protocol than http and most isp has set it to a low value, like browsing/downloading through http protocol I get more than 1MB/s and browsing https than I need to login to my bank account, 12-100kb/s in my country, in foreign even slower, like I remember it was almost imposible to browse firefox extensions/themes pages.

In this tutorial you will find a simple way to use .htaccess files on your webspace, .htaccess is an ascii file, so you will need to upload it in ascii mode and make sure that the file permissions is 644 and it could be read by the server, make sure it has no extension, like some editors just saves it as htaccess.txt or .php so please remove it, the dot in front does not show an extension, it is a hidden file. be careful using the .htaccess some servers does not let to use them, because of the performance, place the file into your domain root or subdomain root directory, usually in public_html folder. # Enable this if the httpd.conf does not have it by default# Usually the apache is configured as it needs to#<Files .htaccess>#order allow,deny#deny from all#</Files># Using php_flag or php_value you can change your# server php.ini and httpd.conf/apache.conf settings# Turn off asp tags# Turn off register globals# Turn off magic_quotes_gpc # Turn off magic_quotes_runtime# Turn off expose_php# Turn off serversignature# Turn off servertokens# Set upload_max_filesize to 8M# Set default User Agentphp_flag asp_tags offphp_flag register_globals offphp_flag magic_quotes_gpc offphp_flag magic_quotes_runtime offphp_flag expose_php offphp_flag serversignature offphp_flag servertokens minimalphp_value upload_max_filesize 8Mphp_value user_agent "Opera/8.51 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)"# so off can be changed to on and etc. also 0 and 1# I don't really know serious difference between php_flag and php_value# but I think that using php_flag the user_agent could not be changed and etc.# Add new Extension# You can add a lot of extensions if needed# Examples, you can make .html to be parsed as phpAddType application/x-httpd-php .myextensionAddType application/x-httpd-php .htmlAddType image/gif .sgif# Set Default Index files# Apache will be looking for this files when accessing http://www.domain.com/# Example, you can make anything, but try to avoid# writing a lot for better performanceDirectoryIndex portal.html index.html index.php default.html main.php# When no index file is found, apache shows the tree# you can tell what to not show in the directory listing# This will not show anythingIndexIgnore *#This will not show gif and png images, but will list everything elseIndexIgnore *.gif *.png[QUOTE]#If you really want to be tricky, using the +Indexes option, you can include a#default description for the directory listing that is displayed when you use it by#placing a file called HEADER in the same directory.

I never done that so.. By the way, better use the password protection from your cpanel but just make sure it does not overwrite anything. And if you can please avoid using .htaccess file for better performance, it does not get that slow, due to the new servers are fast these days, but still use them if you really need to, not for fun or that it is cool Here is the php file with which you can have your own custom errors with the right headers. # the file errors/file.php look above.<?php/*+===========================================+| Error Page File for Q-Zone by Quatrax |+===========================================+*//* Check Input */$code = isset($_GET['error']) ? $_GET['error'] : '404';/* Parse Error */error_page($code);exit;function error_page($code = '404') { /* Client Error 4xx */ $e['400'] = array('400 Bad Request', 'The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax.

no problems, always happy to help if I can.. yeah, register globals is on on Xisto and that is quite unsave.. hmm maybe I could write some tutorial, need to try.

for what purpose you would want to create an https site ? especially a forum ? what you want to save ? it will load for a lot of people in the world a lot of times slower it is really good if you really want to save/secure something, like credit card stuff and etc. but why for a forum ? :S

Well, if you want to do it with php, you could use an .htaccess file, but not all servers lets to do this, try putting a .httaccess file in your public_html directroy with this code. # Change Upload Max Filesizephp_value upload_max_filesize 8M also you can use it to change php/apache configuration, like I always turn this off for better programming. php_flag register_globals offphp_flag magic_quotes_gpc offphp_flag magic_quotes_runtime off Try and tell me the results if php will let you upload more than 2mb I never tryed it.
