htaccess index.php? http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5591/#post23442 From: paul105


Hi all,

I'm editing my htaccess to try and get rid of the index.php? in my url's that appear on the website i.e.

http://www.michelledaniels.co.uk/photos/index.php?/categories

However the best I can manage is to remove the index.php but not the question mark

My htaccess is as below, any ideas :-



Code:
--------------------
# Externally redirect client requests contains htm/html extension to extensionless URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*[^.]+\index.php\?

# externally redirect to extensionless URI
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^.]+)\index.php/?$ http://www.michelledaniels.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

# and if requested extensionless URL-path plus ".htm" does resolve to an existing file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}index.php? -f
# then append ".htm" to resolve the actual filename
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^/]+)\?$ $1.php [L]
--------------------


Many thanks

Paul

@tinalouise50: I know next to nothing about Dreamweaver too I'm afraid. Sounds like you might need to change a "site root" (or similar) setting somewhere?

You could of course use an FTP app to download/upload files from/to your site, independently from Dreamweaver.

Please Help! Cannot connect to my remote live files on Dreamweaver! http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5495/#post22861 From: tinalouise50


I created a new site in Dreamweaver and actually Matt helped me with some jquery problems I was having - thanks again Matt!

Now I have finished the site which was intended to replace an old one. My brother who has the hosting package for the site said that I needed to create a site within the root folder called /public_html/new so that once it was complete he could transfer the files into the live site /public_html and make my old site public_html/old.(In case we need anything in the future)

All went well and the new site is up. However I am now left with an empty public_html/new folder when I go to the remote button. I need to correct some things that I(and others......I swear it is a case of 'cannot see the wood for the trees' when you have been working on it for a while) did not see before. I cannot connect with the live site because it is in a folder that is not in my dreamweaver site. I cannot do anything because although I have corrected my pages in local view on Dreamweaver when I go to remote to upload I only have the empty folder. I have tried changing the name but it will not let me. What can I do? I have tried synchonizing but that does not work as the public_html/new is not recognized and now has no function? Please please help me I am going mad! The site is up and there are errors that need to be corrected!

By the way you can see it at

http://nailandrockett.com

My brother has no knowledge of Dreamweaver. I am soooo stuck and going crazy!

Any help would be soooooo much appreciated!!!

Many thanks


Tina

@blog99: Hard to know without seeing your exact setup. Usually your FTP home directory contains your website folder (document root). If it doesn't then I suggest contacting your hosting provider's support. It sounds like your FTP home directory isn't being set correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for uploading such useful information.
I have installed Cyberduck today and followed the steps upto connecting to the server which I did successfully.

Now in your screenshot there should be a home directory displayed, in my case it is just a blank table.

When I log-in to C Panel> File Manager i can see the cgi directory but not on cyberduck window.

I was hoping to install wordpress after this step but I am stuck on this issue.


Any help would be useful. Thanks

@richardstephens: Cyberduck stores passwords in your Mac OS X keychain, not in the app itself. Run /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and look for your bookmark/server name in the Name column. Double-click it, then enable the "Show password" checkbox and type your new password. Click Save Changes.

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot.

I have a specific problem I can't find an answer to.

I imported all my sites (bookmarks) from Filezilla.

I have had to change my ftp password on one of my sites.

I can't see how to change the password on Cyberduck. The program opens the site. Will I be able to upload files?

I have tried deleting the site (bookmark). That works. When I try to do a new bookmark, it immediately reinstalls the bookmark I just deleted. ??????

thanks for any help on this.

My question is how to configure this kind of customized RSS feed url and utilize feedburner's service at the same time? Or it just is feedburner's paid service? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected
ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected
The first line in the script file is "Create database 'xxxxxxxxx'"
So I'm still not sure it ran the .sql file or if it did why didn't it find a database when the first line says to create one?

It's my office site I'm creating. I've done it all. I checked it on my computer. When I log in, the site creates cookies for username and (loggedin=true). I go over to my personal page and it displays what it should display. Then I go over to Register Page and it says I'm logged in already, as expected. All works fine, cookies are alright.
Just when I go on to my Office and see the site on the PC's there, the problems arise. I log in, it shows me I'm logged in. Then I go over to my personal page, it shows me the Log in dialog box. Then when I go over to Register Page, it shows me I'm logged in. When I log out(since I know the log out page) the same problem occurs again.
I know it's something to do with cookies, but then also, I need help. Can someone provide me any help?

@banafsajy: You can't really. The browser stores the credentials until it's closed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Disadvantages

If you need to support timeouts and logouts then the best bet is to use server-side code (PHP, ASP etc) with sessions. This also gives you more security since the credentials aren't sent by the browser with every request - only the session ID is sent.

Cheers,

Re: Password Protecting Your Pages with htaccess http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/4673/#post20987 From: banafsajy


hi, how do you get users to logout from the protected page once they are done viewing the content?

Once I've successfully entered the protected page using this method and I close the window, the next time I visit the protected page it doesn't ask me for a password anymore.

So question is, how secure is this?

Re: Understanding Permissions http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/4605/#post20820 From: matt


@sbusinesshelper: You need to set execute permission on a folder in order to be able to read the folder's contents. Depending on your web server setup this might be 755 or 744.

You can set the file(s) within the folder to 644.

You pretty much always want to keep read/write permissions for the owner on files, and read/write/execute permissions for the owner on folders.

Re: Understanding Permissions http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/4605/#post20813 From: sbusinesshelper


As all the above comments; great job, simple & concise. HOWEVER, I was hoping to better understand the purpose of the permissions/attributes. Probably best for me to explain my issue...

EXAMPLE: I found your post after Googling: ftp "file attributes" for web folders.

MY PROBLEM: I wish to make a web folder available to all my clients ONLY for the purpose of them being able to download a zipped file (bundle of AntiVirus fixes).

How would you go about this? Is it not the correct use of folder permissions?

WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I've set the folder "/AV" to 444 i.e.'Read permission only' for Owner, Group and Public. Yet, I am unable to view the folder at my domain now?! How much do I need to set in order for you and other to be able to goto mywebsite.com/AV and view&download the zip file.

Thank in anticipation of your reply.

Re: Lost when adding multiple pictures. http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5182/#post20656 From: matt


@danktankk: No problem. Personally I would knock together a PHP script to both create the thumbnails and churn out the HTML. But the Photoshop approach would at least do the thumbnails for you if you're not familiar with PHP coding.

Another approach would be to use a gallery or photo management app to generate your thumbnails and pages. You could then copy and paste the HTML from the auto-generated page into your own page.

On the Mac you can do it with iWeb. Or a good cross-platform solution is jAlbum:

Hope that helps!

Hi,

This post is wonderful. I usually do not read whole post/ Tutorial's / HowTo's on blogs however the preciseness and simplicity of the post made me read the whole post and actually understand the topic quite well (now just need to practically do it).

I wasn't going to sign up but the quality of the posts basically the whole site compelled me to sign up.

Thanks for making Internet better with your presence.

Wonderful stuff
Nuvo.

Re: Lost when adding multiple pictures. http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5182/#post20646 From: danktankk


Thank you for the reply. I was really hoping there was a way to add hundreds of images without doing them 1 the time. I am currently looking for ways to do just that. Since I am using dreamweaver to design the website, I am going to see if there's a way to use that to do what I'm trying to accomplish.

I am going to stick around this website and read up as much as I can and learn from the people here kind enough to offer their expertise. Thanks again, I'll report back when I figured out a way to get it done without doing it 1 at a time.

Re: Lost when adding multiple pictures. http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5182/#post20645 From: matt


@danktankk: You'll need to create thumbnails of the images somehow first. You can either create a batch action in Photoshop (or another editor) to do it, or get hold of some thumbnailing software. Another option is to use a server-side script (PHP, ASP etc) to generate the thumbnails, either as a one-off batch or on the fly.

Then it's just a case of adding an img tag to your page for each thumbnail, and wrapping the img tag in a link that points to the full-size image.

Cheers,
Matt

Lost when adding multiple pictures. http://www.elated.com/forums/topic/5182/#post20640 From: danktankk


Forgive me and please place this post in its appropriate area if I posted this in the wrong place.

I am trying my best to add several hundred pictures to a template I downloaded for free. This is been very frustrating to sat the least. Is there any way to add them to one of the pages on my website?

this is the code where I want to add the images as thumbnails that would link to the images in a folder on the server:



Code:
--------------------
<div id="logo">
<a href="#"><center>PlanetDankk</center></a>
<h2><a href="#"><small><center>•·.·´¯`·.·•––•(-•Dænkk•-)•––•·.·´¯`·.·•</center></small></a></h2>
</div>
<div id="buttons">
<a href="index.html" class="but_home" title=""></a><div class="but_razd"></div>
<a href="Composition.html" class="but" title="">Compositions</a>
<div class="but_razd"></div>
<a href="gallery.html" class="but" title="">Gallery</a><div class="but_razd"></div>
<a href="Dawson.html" class="but" title="">Dawson-ville</a>
<div class="but_razd"></div>
<a href="contact_us.html" class="but" title="">Contact us</a>
</div>
</div>
<!-- header ends -->
<!-- content begins -->
<div class="cont_top"></div>
<div id="content">
<div style="height:10px"></div>

<div style="height:550px"></div>

<div style=" height:21px; padding-left: 20px;">
<a class="gal_num" href="#">1</a>
<a class="gal_num" href="#">2</a>
<a class="gal_num" href="#">3</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cont_bot"></div>


<!-- content ends -->
--------------------



i am also hosting this site on my own server 2008 R2 machine mainly just for family to have access to the pictures. I am one lost dude.

Thanks for any help.
