Can you allow .htaccess files for me???

[squeege]

Hello,

Can I please get you to at least allow
.htaccess files on my account???

I have tried to install like 10-15 scripts and
none will upload for not allowed files!

I am hoping if you at least allow .htaccess files
I will be able to install something hopefully!

Thanks,
Jamie

You do not need to upload the .htaccess files.
The script will work as normal.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for replying...

Don't get me wrong, you have a great service here
but for everything I am trying to install, apparently your
service won't allow me to upload some of the certain files!

I don't know, I guess I will put in a few more hours
trying this and that, but I am wasting valuable time!

Jamie

[[[EDIT]]]

Sorry Eric, one more thing...

I almost have this one script working, but it is
saying "could not connect to SMTP server"


// MAIL CONFIGURATION ---------------------------------------------------
// phpMailer. See http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ for settings.
$c_node['mail']['host'] = "ulmb.com";
$c_node['mail']['port'] = "587";
$c_node['mail']['no_reply_address'] = "squeege@ulmb.com";
$c_node['mail']['default_address'] = "squeege78@hotmail.com";
$c_node['mail']['mailer'] = "smtp";
$c_node['mail']['from_name'] = "GetYourStuff Corp.";
$c_node['mail']['wordwrap'] = "80";
//if you need a username and password to access SMTP then uncomment these
// and add your username and password
//$c_node['mail']['smtp']['username'] = "squeege@ulmb.com";
//$c_node['mail']['smtp']['password'] = "***************";


---> Do I have that set up right? What do I have wrong there?

Let me know,
Jamie

You didnt seem to get my original message,
How can i make this more clear,
THE FILES THAT DONT UPLOAD, YOU DONT NEED

You use the SMTP to send mail from your computer, eg. outlook express, thunderbird etc...

If your sending mail using php, you use php's mail() function.

THE FILES THAT DONT UPLOAD, YOU DONT NEED

I don't know how you can say that...

Why would all of these scripts have those
files if they are not needed, please explain!

I want to believe you but I don't see
why they would be there then!

Jamie

P.S. I don't mean to be a pain in the
ass but I just want something to work!

P.P.S. I got the SMTP to work, but it takes forever
(if it even comes, for the mail to go through)

I was thinking the same thing when setting up my site. But my script worked with out all of the files. So you should be fine.

You don't need them, you just don't. We don't know why script makers put some of them in there, alot of times they may add extra security, but our server already adds the security for you by default so you dont need the files.

You just don't NEED them. Try the script, if you don't try the script then you will never see that it will still work.

As Eric said above... Again...

You use the SMTP to send mail from your computer, eg. outlook express, thunderbird etc...

If your sending mail using php, you use php's mail() function.

We do not support using smtp to send mail from your php scripts, it most likely wont work. I woulnt even try it.

[squeege]

OK... I have been installing scripts for a while and nothing is working...

For instance below (yet another script)


<?
/* System Information - Required!! */
/* -- Configure the Variables Below --*/
$username = "squeege";
$password = "******";
/* Database Information - Required!! */
/* -- Configure the Variables Below --*/
$dbhost = 'mysql';
$dbusername = '1627_squeeze';
$dbpasswd = '*****';
$database_name = '1627_squeeze';

?>


The error


TBL project creation failed !
Error :Invalid default value for 'account_id'


What is wrong with that now???

I cannot get anything to work, for real!

Did you put values in the MySQL database or does the script do it for you... what script is it... have you contacted the makers of the script to see if it is a problem with a function / file missing or what is wrong? Where are you installing it at?

[squeege]

Hi Tyler, thanks for trying to help...

I will keep trying things but I can't keep p****** out time!

For that script I am not 100% it works, but it should...

Did you put values in the MySQL database or does the script do it for you... what script is it... have you contacted the makers of the script to see if it is a problem with a function / file missing or what is wrong? Where are you installing it at?

I tried both letting the script do the sql and doing it myself, nothing!

Have not contacted support, but no one else has a problem!

I WAS installing it at http://squeege.ulmb.com/squeezepage
but I am going to try another script in that directory...
I have deleted the files!!!

Out of about 20 scripts now, I have gotten 1 simple one to work,
made up of about 20 total files and does not need mySQL...

That is the only one that works and that needed
to be modified, but Eric helped me, it works!

But that is the only one so far!

Jamie

P.S. Thanks you for your (trying to) help though!

I really would like to continue using this service!

[Tyler]

If you tell us the names of the scripts and where we can view information about them at then we can help you alot more then just blindly guessing what the problem may be.

I know exactly what you mean about htaccess but trust me most scripts say they need it when they actually don't. I've installed many scripts, they all work fine without them. Trust Eric and Tyler when they say .htaccess is not the problem. The only thing that I could think of that has to have .htaccess is your own 404 page and I'm about to post a new thread about that.
