I can use the domain name, internal ip, Linux hostname, or static ip to try and reach my pages. No dice. I have quite a few other apps and CMS's running on my server to include a Glype proxy, a couple of custom apps that I am coding, LoveCMS, Dotclear, and a guestbook called Jibberbook. Whew! I have attempted to use WP with an empty server directory. Makes no difference.

I operate my webserver from home with a true static IP and a 10 port switch. I use Ubuntu 8.04. My problem is that I cannot view my Wordpress pages within the network. I have 4 other boxes on my network (XP, 2-Vista, and Kubuntu) which cannot view my website. I should restate that last part, when I type in my domain or internal IP (i.e. 10.1.10.XXX) all that I get is my <title> and sometimes my content if I let it sit and spin for a while., without CSS. Now, I can see most other CMS's within my network to include Dotclear, hand coded php pages, my Glype Proxy server, and jinzora on my 10.1.10.XXX internal address. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

By the way you phrased your Forum Subject, it sounds like you need more help. What EXACTLY do you mean a login thing? Do you want to password protect a page, directory, or ... More detail would help

Have you checked your Domain Service Provider settings? Check the Advanced DNS settings under A Records to make sure that your ip address is forwarded to the www. Otherwise, I have never had that problem. [attachment deleted by admin]

Yes, I do agree with the last poster. There is not one perfect CMS. I use several on my site. Currently, I use DotClear for a blogging platform, a custom AJAX micro blog, Scuttle bookmarking app., LoveCMS, and a few others as testing hidden away. When one just doesn't do it, try many!!!

When I need to create custom php code for a WP page, it is farily simple to create a template and insert it into the page. Read more about that here > http://www.wordpressmax.com/customize-wordpress/custom-page I am not pleased with the current set of insert php code plugins that are available.

I am not quite sure what you mean by integration. However, I believe their current version does allow for the importation of an existing site. I would recommend to anyone thinking of migrating to another CMS or platform, to install the proposed application in a subdirectory somewhere and take a look at it first before committing. However, with that said, you will be impressed with Concrete5. If you would like a secure (login) portion of your site, you should simply use an access.php type of file for some page. That seems like a method to satisfy your requirements.

Try out Chris Jaure's Simple Gallery. It is simple as pie - http://www.chromasynthetic.com/scripts/simpleviewgallery/

All of us know that there are hundreds of CMS's available, but only a dozen or so that are really ready for production. And, of course, everyone has preferences. Last year, I attended OSCON and found a CMS called Concrete5. They went Open-Source with an M.I.T. license at the OSCON showing. The backend on this website is absolutely phenomenal. The content is configured using editable blocks. Content management is really simple, yet secure and reliable. And yes, it has pretty URL's too

Good points you make. I have tried so many code variants, I am jumbled. Fairly new to writing code - but, you knew that. The file listed above is used for displaying posts with data from MySQL in a microBlog type of format. Can anyone suggest a correct method of querying connection data from my database.php file?

Hello all - I host an Ubuntu LAMP Server 8.04. Trying to code a second variant of my micro-blog. My installation script writes to a file database.php with the following configuration: <?php $active_group = "default"; $db['default']['hostname'] = "localhost"; $db['default']['database'] = "microBucky"; $db['default']['username'] = "root"; $db['default']['password'] = "password"; ?> I want to display the content from the three columns in my table, which are title, body_text, and created. I have gone through several code variants for the index.php to display my content. Can someone help me out? Displaying content using the mysqli_connect() info at the top of the page. But, I want to use the remote file database.php that my install script created to connect. Here is what I have so far for my index.php <? $db = mysql_connect($hostname, $db_user, $db_password); mysql_select_db($database,$db); include_once('add_entry/entry.php'); include_once('config/database.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <!-- microBucky2 is created by Mark Moore at http://buckycomputing.net.
