If your going with the Free Quote, I think you need to jaz up that Notepad and Pencil icon. It looks a bit like 2d clipart atm. -steve

The skewed effect looks ok. Typically it would be seen as part of some accordion/fisheye effect. Mockup2 is better. The header area still looks a little sparse. The text on the top right looks out of place, and just hanging there on its own. As for flash: Nope it wasn't an intro flash page I was on about. I dislike them very much too. As for a flash, it was a banner/graphics area which would change a random image, perhaps have some large text appear/change etc. -steve

Skewing the images like that reminds me of this functionality in MS Office 2007. Looks good overall. What type of person are you looking to attract? Ifs its very formal businesses then it might be a bit too much on the design side, and not formal enough. (IMO). A *lot* of people from what I can see, are looking for a flash intro in sites. Therefore, I think you should put in a neat animation to show what you can do with flash. Anyways, thats my opinion. -steve

Hmmm...if its just the domain example.com you host you can do: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com DocumentRoot /docroot2 ....... <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName foo.example.com DocumentRoot /docroot1 .... Any domain not matching a vhost listed (i.e. not foo.example) will use the first vhost. Even if you type in the IP, the first vhost will be used. -steve

Glad you got it. Thanks for posting your solution here. It might help someone in the future. -steve

Try adding: @ IN A 69.162.125.5 Here is my bind9 setup and config: http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/DNS_-_Bind9 -steve

Install httping on your computer, and leave it running, doing a get request for pages on your site. Setup a static html page, and get httping to test that at 5 min intervals. Sounds very strange to me. You need to start ruling out issues. If a 403 doesnt appear for a static html file, or if it doesnt appear for a basic php script with phpinfo(), or if it doesnt appear for a basic php script doing a database call, its probably something with phpbb. -steve

You need to get htaccess working. A rewrite could still work without a htaccess file. See also: https://wiki.skynet.ie/Admin/SetupGuides/suPHP https://wiki.skynet.ie/Users/suPHP -steve

In a htaccess file, put: Options -Indexes -steve

You might want to have some error checking on: http://multimedia-technologies.com/clientsites/coconutcreek/index.php?month=hai&year=he"llo http://multimedia-technologies.com/clientsites/coconutcreek/index.php?month=asd&year=<iframe%20src=http://www.google.com%20height=800%20width=1240></iframe> -steve

You will need to get .htaccess working firstly. Try the following in a .htaccess file: ### deny from all ### and see if you get a webpage access denied. If it does not work, then you'll need to add "allow overrride all" to your apache config. Once you have .htaccess working for a particular directory, then you can look towards using a specific php.ini. -steve

Id put in a livecd and see how that performs and if there are any bugs with it. As for: "strange thing is, is that the server is always connected to the internet." well if this is the case (as it wasn't in your first post), then it might be a software issue, and worth putting in a livecd for a while to test. Lastly is there any firewall start/restarting or in the mix? -steve

Ive seen issues with gigabit ethernet cards. I suggest you try a different network card. Any one should do, even an old 100mbps one would suffice just to test. -steve

I've seen strangeness with some gige network cards. I suggest you try different drivers, or try another network card on the same server to test to see if its network related or network card related. -steve

suPHP will execute php files as the user. In your case, what is apache running as? Is it "nobody"? You also said "chown -R nobody data/" Well where is that data folder stored? All parent folders must be executable by the world. I.E. /home/user/data chown -R nobody data/ chmod 700 data You also have to do this: chmod 711 /home/user -steve

DarkWater: "grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default" would do too edge_lv: Can you do "df -h" Did you try accessing the website on a different computer? As for a server crash and all new software....not sure what went on there. Did you reinstall ubuntu? Can you copy and paste an extract of: /var/log/apache2/error.log /var/log/apache2/access.log -steve

Looks very good. A title over the calendar might be an idea. If its an Events calendar, then a heading "Upcoming Events" would be informative. Looks really well. -steve

The nav drop-down menu/list is broken in IE7 on the index page. The drop-down menu which appears when you hover over "School Info", "Students" etc. is behind the flash app. -steve

tail /var/log/daemon.log tail /var/log/kern.log tail /var/log/messages tail /var/log/syslog You should also setup smokeping. This will monitor ping times to/from your server. Install smokeping on your server to ping isp servers. Install smokeping on your pc/different server to ping your server which has difficulties. If it is exactly every hour, look in /etc/cron.d/ for any scripts which run at that time. Another way to check to see if its hardware related would be to use a livecd on the computer. This will ensure that there are no scripts/configs which cause the issue. This will test the hardware/cable. Does the server have a static or dhcp ip address? If dhcp then how often are the dhcp leases given by your router? Replacing cable and testing with a different network card will also shed some more light. -steve

mysql-bin logs are typically for replication of a mysql server. These mysql-bin logs and their flushing/expiry can be set in my.cnf. -steve

Its certainly not easy to find out which site causes an issue. Some things which can help: have each site as a vhost. I.E.: site1.server.com site2.server.com and have each vhost logging to seperate access logs. Things I run and monitor: webalizer for each vhost I have mod_status enabled: http://www.debuntu.org/apache-activity-performance-mod_status I have munin logging and creating graphs of apache. See: http://muninexchange.projects.linpro.no/?search&cid=1&pid=3&phid=123 Even still its quite difficult to track down what script may be affecting the performance of a server. If anyone has any other tips and tricks to monitor or graph which scripts are using up a lot of resources, I would be very interested to hear. -steve

I suggest you use maintained packages, because Im sure you'll forget to update it. http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/mrtg/ -steve

You can also enable mod_userdir (userdir.conf). -steve

I suggest using http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/screem/ -steve

Hit CTRL + ALT + F1 to open a console and go from there. -steve
