i m sorry to hear that. i know it is hard for you, but you are not searching far enough!. Christianity is not the only faith that we have in this world. try to compare and study. you might found a faith which will have no contradiction. at least you believe...

hehe, rmdort, there is something fishy going on there. i can smell it!did you remember about the "red flag" admins talked about before? read here; http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ just being careful...

I m not a good believer/practioner , but i never forget that there is a higher self out there. yes pbolduc is correct. i like his story. but god can give you more than lending a floor jack . and any of His creation who ignores him are the one who is arrogant. so does god exist? in attending to this question, one should think, "searching for god wouldnt hurt me". from my personal judgement, some of us dont want to search for Him because they want to be free. God doesnt ask much from us, just to believe in His existance and fellowshipping him which only take a small fraction of your life. like have been said before, searching for Him wont hurt you, and people who never search for him are the the one who is arrogant.

my friend, i believe there is this "grand design" working in our world. do we really believe that this complex creatures such as us has existed spontanuesly in this world? do we really think that the complex and perfect structure of human DNA existed spontanuesly? do we actually believe that humanity has existed by accident and by accident we are being a superior species with no purpose? or we r here just to eat like monkeys, just to live like cockroaches, have s#x like dogs? is that acceptable? do we believe that we are equipted with advanced mind better than any species in this world just to dominate them? then if there's no purpose of humanity, then Agen Smith might be right!

rapco:where did you mount your hd? at what windows? i hope it is not win98 or winme, because only Win2k and WinXP can read NTFS filesystem. at Win98 and WinMe, they cant even see the NTFS partition. old WinNT might also help, but i think it's better to try on Win2k and XP instead.

yes, everything have its own purpose. cockroaches are for decomposition of meterials, same as flies does. otherwise, we'll have many un-decomposed meterials around us. scientifically, those undicomposed meterials will cause the "loop of natural resources" to stop. so what r the purpose of human then? is it just to live? is it just to eat? just to consume all of the earth natural resources until there's nothing left? human being is a far far more advance life form than cockroaches are, you know? "there is more than this life is" what's that? THE AFTER LIFE! *guys, i m not trying 2 be emotional here. please understand. i m just trying 2 exchange my opinions here. so i hope that this can be a healthy discussion. no bad feelings, ok. hope something like this will widen our mind.

religion/god are hard topics to explain. it cannot be discussed easily. but for me, believe that god exists.no body can prove god exists, but still, no body could also explain weird stuff that r happening in this world, but they do happen.like OpaQue said, god is something we hold on to...that's just my opinion, im not forcing anyone to agree with it...

do you believe in god?do you really know what's god is?do you really think human are so brilliant now that they can outdo god?or does god really exist?do you believe that you know everyhing?There are millions things on the earth that still uncovered by HomoSapiens, but they already think that they are so brilliant. That's why they think god is not needed.You think you have seen everything? Ghost?, Sprit?, Miricles?, Psyshic?, DeeJavoo? Magic? just to name a few.

good for you. anyway, you were asking about populating data from access to mysql? click here to go there; http://forums.xisto.com/topic/81221-topic/?findpost=

i've viewed your site. and i found out that you are having problems with image filename.we are hosted an a linux server. linux/unix system differs from microsoft. why? because filenames with different CaSe will be treated differently. so, please make sure that you are having the same name in HTML such as "Moni.GIF", not "moni.gif".by the way, you are using MS frontpage now? i suggest u use dreamweaver instead.

i think you got some problems with mysql. drop the database and try to recreate. see if there r any problems. in your case, i would suggest u 2 remove IPB first, then manually delete tables/dbase which was created for them, then reinstall it using fastastico.

no, no. you r wrong ChronicLoser. trust me. the way we view the system might be VERY different from the way others do. based on my personal experience, we cannot just create the website on our own and satisfied about that. things that we like to see may not be pleasent to see by others. some designing considerations; 1. Site complexity We administrators/system designers/web developers generally like site with many functions, but others might like "simple and easy" sites which are much straight foward. 2. Colour and Design If we are designing some website for companies, than we must consider the design colour that matches their cooperate identity. Otherwise, they might not like it. sorry, just want you not to make that same mistake that i did.

well, i like all of his songs, especially the last album he made when he was in Savage Garden. i like Truely Madly..., Cherry Cola, Crash & Burn... and all of that last compilation of SG.

populate sql db with data? i did it once, but i forget already. this is what i can tell you; you need to install ODBC support for that SQL db, then create a new DSN for that db in the DataSource(ODBC). open mS access and create a new project. set it to use that DSN. then, try to search for import/export. it can be used to take data from other sources, including access files. i cannot be really detailed here, cause i already forget. go play around! secondly, i think you need a centralized data management, such as using webservers. that way, you can have other users (authentication users) to add data about those horser. the idea is like this, create a field named as "verified". each time users input new data, the system will automatically give this field the value of "false". so, what you got to do, is only to change the value of that field to true, not to copy it again and again. what do you think? EDITED: i've just found out a very useful software for you. it can populate access data to mysql. this is the link; http://www.mdbtomysql.de/ hope it will be helpful.

kpoplive;yes, that's is one of the advantages using CPANEL. by the way, dont worry too much about installing php scripts, because most of these scripts already include their own installer.by the way, do you have a hosting account already? you only got 2 posts...

protect your server?use your bios settings;1. set to ONLY boot from your hd;2. set passwords for your bios.get that? now nobody can boot your system using other boot disk/cd. it cannot be breached. the only people that can override that are the one who have physical access to the servers and able to reset the CMOS jumpers.

please check for your browser setting. it may caused by your privacy/security setting. yup, i think that's right. you'll just have to wait for some time. it is normal for dns servers/records. it might take up to 24hrs

doanjai;i really like him too. but, is he really a good singer? some say that his voice was not real. i dono.but anyway, his style is some kind of g@y, dont you think?

NilsC: use a subdomain or not? i think, if the "private" content is a very BIG/IMPORTANT topic, then you might consider using subdomain. otherwise, i think it is better to use secured directory. want to have authentication? when i was browsing, i found this apache module; mod_auth_mysql: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ it is a really useful stuff. storing username and password in mysql. you dont need to alter any group/user/password files. you just have to update the user database only.

just a quick note:ns1.astahost.com and ns2.astahost.com are nameservers/dns servers for hostings. it's only needed if you have your own domain name such as those dot com.

yes, public_ftp is used for anynomus access. the control is somewhere in the cpanel. a really useful feature indeed.

i donno about hindi movie much, but click here; http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Why? you r always blocked by Adutlbouncer/Deluxepass because of using expired pass? if you r using public IP address (connected directly to the internet), the liberty to change your IP will only be held by your ISP. you cannot change it manually. eventhough you are having dynamic IP, changging your IP might cause network conflicts. therefore, your ISP might bann you from their network. if you r on a your own networking, then, it will no problems.

Security Rules While You r Online, technically;1. NEVER allow any unknown foreign connection coming TO you machine.2. NEVER allow any unknown service/apps acting as a server AT your machine to connect to the internet (offering a connection to outsiders).3. ONLY enable legitimate apps to use internet, such as internet explorer for internet browsing.4. ONLY open your PORT to legitimate services which want to act as a server, such as opening PORT 80 if your machine have a web server.How can you do this? use firewalls apps. i personally like to use zonealarm. easy and secure. i donno about microsoft firewall. i dont really trust microsoft products when it come to security.

ftp?is a protocol used to upload files to servers. - File Transfer ProtocolFtp applications divided into 2;1. Ftp server : apps that used to enable files upload at server.2. Ftp client : apps that made uploading easier by clients.examples;Xisto has an FTP SERVER running at its server so that you can upload your web pages here.Your Pc needs an FTP CLIENT to use the ftp service provided at Xisto.FTP accounts;An authentication account (with username and password) to enable access of an FTP SERVER to ONLY LEGITIMATE users.its look like to me that you need to open an anonymous accounts to enable anybody to access for ftp.search the web using the keyword "what is ftp". i suggest using yahoo or altavista.
