As
we continue to serve the needs of our clients, this page will continue
to grow with helpful information. Our clients seem to be the best
source of questions ... You ask the questions and we will provide the
answers!
Can
I publish with FrontPage?
Yes you can publish with FrontPage 97, 98 or 2000.
Since we must first install FrontPage server extensions, simply let
us know and we will do it for free.
How
do I update my web pages?
You can create and maintain your web pages, images,
and scripts locally and upload them to the web server at your leisure
via FTP. You can overwrite existing files or transfer a new file.
What
is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocal. FTP is
a common method used to transfer files from one machine to another.
What
do I name my files?
The starting point for a Web site is called the
home page. It is the page that is retrieved and displayed by default
when a user visits the Web site. The default home-page name for a server
depends on the server’s configuration. On many Web servers it is
index.htm. Our servers are configured to use index.htm, index.asp, default.asp,
default.htm and index.html. All other pages that follow can be named
whatever you choose.
Example:
If you are creating a page on cars then you will name the first page
for your site index.htm. If the next page you generate has to do with
Ford Motors then you might want to name the second page fordmotor.htm.
Do you see the pattern?
How
do I get my page to load automatically?
You must name your main loading file "index.htm",
"index.html", "index.asp", "default.htm"
or "default.asp".
If
your site is located on one of our IBM Linux web servers, be sure to
name everything in lowercase, not "INDEX.HTM" (all files on
the Linux web servers are case-sensitive). In addition, this file must
be located in your 'www' directory, which is the first directory you
see when accessing the web server via ftp.
If
your site is located on one of our Dell rack servers, all files are
case in-sensitive. In addition, you will automatically FTP to the root
directory for your site.
Do
you support ASP?
Simply stated ... Yes.
Even
if you are using one of our IBM Linux web servers! We run ChiliSoft
ASP on all Linux web servers and IIS on all Dell rack servers.
What
is the path PERL (Linux)?
/usr/bin/perl
What
is the path sendmail (Linux)?
/usr/sbin/sendmail
What
databases are supported?
If
you are using one of our IBM Linux web servers ...
DB2, DBase, Informix, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, Standard Text Files and
with exceptions Access.
If
you are using one of our Dell rack servers ...
MS Access, MS Foxpro, SQL Server (available upon request), DBase and
basically any ODBC available database.
Do
you have an example of how I can connect to my database?
If
you are using one of our IBM Linux web servers ...
The
following example is used to connect to a simple table called 'test.dbf'
... 'test.dbf' was created using Microsoft's Visual Foxpro and is accessed
using the DBase driver. If you are using Access, you can simply export
your data into a DBase file format. In order to test ... Copy and Paste
the following code into a file called 'test.asp'; created a simple table
with one field called 'lastname' and input a few records; upload the
'test.asp' file into the 'www' directory and upload the 'test.dbf' file
into the 'database' directory; now, use your browser to test the file.
<%@
Language=VBScript %>
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open("DBQ=/home/yourdomain/www/database;DefaultDir=/home/yourdomain/www/database;Driver={Microsoft
dBase Driver (*.dbf)}")
Set db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
db.ActiveConnection = conn
db.Open "SELECT * FROM test"
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table>
<%
db.MoveFirst
Do while not db.EOF
%>
<tr>
<td><%=db("lastname")%></td>
</tr>
<%
db.MoveNext
loop
%>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If
you are using one of our Dell rack servers (Windows) ...
The
following example is used to connect to a simply Access database called
myDatabase.mdb ... Simply upload your file to the database directory
(the database directory should already have appropriate permissions
assigned). Next, create a file using your favorite web page editor and
use the following code:
<%
accessdb=server.mappath("/database/myDatabase.mdb")
strconn="PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE="
strconn=strconn & accessDB & ";"
set conn=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
conn.open strconn
set rstemp=conn.execute("select * from table1")
%>
This
will save all records in the table called 'table1' located in the database
called 'myDatabase' to the recordset 'rstemp' ... If you would like
to view the results, add the following code:
<%
do until rstemp.eof
response.write rstemp("field1")
rstemp.movenext
loop
%>
Keep
in mind ... If you are hosting with us on the $29.95 plan, you have
30 minutes for free consulting per month. If there is something you
don't understand, please send an email
and/or call!
How
do I view the stats for my web site?
If
you are using one of our IBM Linux web servers ...
Simply open your browser and type in the following: http://www.yourdomain.com/wusage/
NOTE: If you delete the wusage directory or the
contents inside, you will loose the ability to track your stats. If
you deleted the directory or the contents and still want to track your
stats, we will need to reset your account.
If
you are using one of our Dell rack servers ...
Simply
open your browser and type in the following:
http://www.yourdomain.com/stats/
How
do I transfer my domain to your servers?
Simple ... Call or email us and we will do the
rest!
What
are your nameservers?
If you feel confident about transferring your
own domain name to our servers, you will need to know our nameservers.
Please use the following information:
LINUX
...
- ns1.computerintegrity.com
... 66.33.50.25
- ns2.computerintegrity.com
... 66.33.51.25
WINDOWS
...
- ns3.computerintegrity.com
... 12.25.234.220
- ns4.computerintegrity.com
... 12.25.234.221
What
is my POP3 server name?
Most clients request their emails be forwared
to an existing account (i.e. anything sent to yourdomain.com would go
to whatever at wherever.com). On the other hand if you have an email
account with us, you will need to know how to configure your email software
(i.e. Microsoft Express, etc.). You will need the following information:
- POP3
Server: simply use 'mail.yourdomain.com'
- SMTP
Server: for security reasons we request you to use your ISP's
- Login:
login name we issued when you opened your account
- Password:
password we issued when you opened your account
How
can I forward my emails (Win Platform)?
If you ever want to modify the forwarding, you
can do so using the control panel ... on left side of the control panel
click on Mail Manager > List Mail Domains - click on you domain's
link under the column Domain Administration - enter your login (LoginName@YourDomain.com)
and password - under Users you will see your account (LoginName@YourDomain.com)
- click on your account - you will see your section on forwarding.
