….such as this gem.
Easy to set up and host yourself or steer well clear unless you have intense knowledge of SQL?
** cough **
i can set you one up and host for a minor donation 😉
** cough **
but otherwise as long as you have hosting with at least 1 mysql database thats about all you need.
Cheers m8 I’ll ask him. I’m doing a kinda payback favour for a m8. He’s got the hosting sorted on his own box.
As I inderstand it I need to install MySQL or the like on his webserver and give it some php support (whatever that entails).
Whats a good FTP host proggy?
bueller?
Ok how about this one then…. Whats the easiest way to password lock a site away from prying eyes? I just want to set up a simple login entry page to it all, nothing overly clever like.
Also, why would the address, say http://blahblahblah.com work fine but if you were to enter http://www.blahblahblah.com would that not work??
I love being a web building n00b..not.

lol
are you using apache?
iff so use a standard .htaccess file (instructions / tools here http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/)not sure if this works on IIS
again you just need to redirect users from http://www.xxx to .xxxxx.yyy
in your htaccess file add something like..
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} http://www.nameofsite.co.uk [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://nameofsite.co.uk/$1 [r=301,nc]forums like this r piss to set up (check http://www.sest-scitt.com/forum) same thing rlly just different colour scheme, this forum is a package u can download called PHPBB, really simple, google search it and read over the site,
lol i think he has figured out that much – your right to say it is a piece of piss if you already have a webserver set up but it is a different matter if you have to install apache / php / mysql from scratch

if you need a testing server on your machine use Xammp, its a handy tool that has all the apache php sql etc bundled into it, without going through the hassle of doing them individually, saves so much time!
Your damn right it is! and if your after Php (and phpMyadmin) based sites (or forums) then easyPHP is another nice mini testing server, i use that for work on sites too,
