    SSL Please Help Client Request Services!

    But how is the information stored on the server? Its probably best if you regard that as a rhetorical question and don't tell us but consider my post above. Remember, SSL really only helps in terms of someone listening in on your network traffic. It does nothing in terms of secure storage...

    SSL Please Help Client Request Services!

    Of course storing it in a database using single key encryption such as 3DES is only marginally better than not encrypting at all because the key needs to be on the server somewhere. Its a bit like locking your house and leaving the key under the mat at the front door. I guess it does at least...

    DTS for backups, intermittent user related failure.

    I know this doesn't help but just FYI, I haven't had much luck using DTS to backup MSSQL for a DotNetNuke site. Sometimes it works but it usually comes up with weird messages about key violations and suggestions that my local db is corrupt which I know its not because I've created it moments...

    Domain forwards or domain aliases

    I went to both URLs and it looks like you've solved it, presumably with aliases. Masked forwarding is really an ugly kludge by putting the site inside a frame which probably explains why the menus didn't work. I think it was used early in the dot com age as a way of hiding the fact that a...

    dotnetnuke child portal / subdomain

    I agree in general with webguru's comments although he is describing a different problem if you want the non-DNN site to be at a subdomain of domain2.com. It should be easy to do what you want but I think you run into H-Sphere limitations if you try to do it all yourself at JodoHost. If...

    Dnn 4.0

    Any further reports about DNN 4 at Jodohost? I'm hosting a DNN 3 site on win12 and I'm thinking of moving to win2 where I have a few domains and upgrading to DNN 4, mainly so I can do some module development with Visual Studio 2005 etc. Is anyone willing to let me know the URL of their DNN...

    replacing mail adress with a name

    One of the best ways to send email with PHP is by using PHPMailer It lets you add a name and do all sorts of things (eg attachments) that the standard mail() function can't do. The name thing seems to work with most clients. Ross

    Sending email using .NET System.Web.Mail

    Thanks for that. I didn't realise that could be done with .NET 1.1 although now that I know what to look for, I see that its even in the .NET docs as an example for the MailMessage.Fields property. FYI, .NET 2.0 has a new namespace, System.Net.Mail, for sending email with lots of functionality...

    Can I do it like this?

    Just another suggestion which may be useful. I often test sites before moving domains by editing my local 'hosts' file. If you're running Windows then its at something like: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Add a line like nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn mydomain.com www.mydomain.com where...

    hosting multiple domains on service account

    I'm doing exactly the same thing with a few domains. You just need to go to your service account control panel, which looks like any other account, then hit 'Domains' and add the new domain. You probably want the first option "Other Domain Name Registration & Transfer". Once its added then 'Edit...

    How to speed up database connection?

    Is it really the connection that's slow or is it the query? If its the query then perhaps you need to check that you're using indexes correctly and efficiently. Ross

    Domain Aliasing in DNN

    Oh yes, I forgot about that www. It confused me the first time too. Its simply wrong and shouldn't be there. Someone should probably report it to the HSphere people as a (sort of) bug.

    Domain Aliasing in DNN

    Yes, you can do that, no problem. This thread relates to the same question. 1) sub.mydomain.com must point to the same IP number. I guess that's obvious :). If mydomain.com is already your DNN site at Jodo then I think that's already done by default because there is a wildcard in the dns...

    An idea for allowing MSSQL backups...

    I pleased you're thinking about it Stephen. As I said a while ago I would be delighted to have something like this. It would be a real 'plus' for JodoHost to offer this because I haven't found any other low cost MS SQL hosts that give the user direct access to the db backups. Happy new year...

    dotnetnuke child portal / subdomain

    There are really three parts to this. 1) The domain or subdomain, one way or another, needs to resolve via dns to the IP of your DNN site. The dns can either be at Jodo or elsewhere. 2) IIS needs to direct a request for that domain to your DNN site. The domain alias in H-Sphere takes...

    dotnetnuke child portal / subdomain

    You shouldn't have the domain added in H-Sphere as a 'domain'. It should only be added as an alias of the first domain, not as an independent site. It can't be both. In the alias section of H-Sphere, be sure to add it with and without the www. It might look as if you're adding...

    Dnn 4.0

    I'm keen to give it a try too but I read this and saw "Version 4.0.0 does not run on Medium Trust". I haven't inquired with Jodo but I think that's a show stopper for now on most shared hosts. I decided to wait until that is hopefully sorted out. Ross

    arrays

    You really need to do some simple debugging. When something just doesn't work I like to look at it step by step. Problems and errors happen in the most unexpected places. The echo statement is a useful debugging tool :) First look at the resulting html output on your form page to confirm that...

    arrays

    Oops, you're quite right. I was confused myself :) by the double quotes around the echo which is all that matters to PHP.

    arrays

    Hi Jomapi I think your immediate problem is that all your text boxes are literally called opt$ctr. You've sort of got your single and double quotes confused and reversed. PHP can use either to define a string but the difference is that with double quotes, any variable names in the string...
