How to Use FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 29,

In Feburary 2016 29,
When you first open Filezilla, a large window opens with several windows within in the main window. The top window is where Filezilla will show its commands as it works. Below that on the left is the local computer, your computer. On the right is where you will see files from the remote computer. Each computer is broken down into two windows each, the upper window for directories, and the lower pane for directory contents. At the bottom in where progress of each uploading file is displayed.
Check with your webhost for your FTP host name, your username and password, which may be given by the host, or you have chosen. Click on the File drop down menu and chose Site Manager. A new window will open.
In Site Manager chose New Site. In the Select Entry pane, a new icon appears. Type in the name of your site.
In the pane to the right of the Select Entry, click on the General Tab. Here you will find several options. Type in the host name, usually in the format of ftp.(your-domain-name).com. Chose FTP Server Type. Chose the type of logon, usually that is normal.
Type in your username and password and click connect. The Site Manager will close automatically and you will see the commands to logon in the top pane of the main window.
If everything went right a list of folders should be displayed in the right hand panes of the main window. Now it is simple as finding your files in the left hand directory pane, and drag and drop them into the right hand pane, or vise versa.
Filezilla will decide for you what type of file you are transferring, but other FTP clients will ask you for a type, or assume a type.

How to Create an Order Form in HTMLIn Feburary 2016 27,

In Feburary 2016 27,
Obtain a form script from your web host provider or from a free, online resource like Hot Scripts or Stadtaus.com (see Resources). Place this script on your host account (if needed) in the same directory where you keep your other website files and make a note of this URL location. A script processes the data submitted from the order form and delivers it back to you.
Launch your text editor program and create a new document or open an existing file. Place your cursor anywhere underneath the '
' tag where you want your order form to appear.
Type in the beginning '' tag at the end of the form code. Save your file with an '.html' ending (extension) when finished.

How to Sync Files With FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 23,

In Feburary 2016 23,
Click 'File' and then click 'Site Manager' from the drop-down menu. From the window that appears, click 'New Site' to create a new FTP site or open an existing FTP site by double-clicking it. If creating a new FTP site, enter the host, port, logon type, and username and password if required, then click 'OK.' If you have a matching set of directories on the local and remote computer, you can enable synchronized browsing to navigate the local and remote computers simultaneously. To enable synchronized browsing, click the 'Advanced' tab on the Site Manager window, ensure that the local and remote directory addresses are the same, and click the 'Use synchronized browsing' check box.
Changing Directories
In FileZilla, your computer folders are displayed on the left, below the label 'Local site.' The remote computer to which you are connecting has its folders displayed on the right side of the window, under 'Remote site.' Use FileZilla's navigation on each side of the window to open the directories on the local and remote computers containing the files you want to sync.
Transferring Files
Select the file or files to transfer and drag them to the other side of the file list. FileZilla will queue the files in the list at the bottom of the window and then begin the transfer. If one or more files from the source folder have identical names to files in the destination folder, FileZilla displays the Target File Already Exists window for the first identically named file, and gives you several options for handling the file transfer.
Common File Synchronization Options
Choose the 'Overwrite' radio button to replace the file in the destination folder with the source file. Click 'Overwrite if source newer' to replace the file in the destination folder only if it is older than the source file. Select 'Overwrite if different size' to replace the file only if the source file is a different size. Choose 'Skip' to cancel copying this file to the destination folder. To take the same action for all files you're copying, click the 'Always use this action' and 'Apply to this queue only' check boxes. Click 'OK' to continue. If you didn't click 'Always use this action,' then the 'Target file already exists' window will be displayed for each duplicate file name.
Other File Synchronization Options
The 'Resume' option is rarely used; it copies the rest of a file to the destination folder when the full file was not uploaded before. 'Rename' copies the source file to the destination folder and gives it a new name. It does not change the file name of the source file. 'Overwrite if different size or source newer' overwrites the file if it meets either of those two conditions.

How to Disable Sites in Apache 2In Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
Verify that the site is still enabled. From the Ubuntu Linux command line, issue the following commands:cd \etc\apache2\sites-enabledlsThe first command switches the working directory to the 'sites-enabled' sub-directory. The second command lists the files in the directory. If there is a file for the site you want to disable, continue with Step 2. If not, the site already is disabled.
Issue the following commands at the Ubuntu command prompt:cd (changes to your home directory)sudo a2dissite sitename (where 'sitename' is the name of the site you want to disable) This command removes 'sitename' from the /etc/apache2/sites-available sub-directory.
Verify that the site has been removed from the list of enabled sites with the following command:ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabledYour site should not appear in the sub-directory listing.
Restart the Apache 2 Web server with the following command:sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restartThis causes Apache 2 to stop listening for requests for the disabled site.
Start a browser session and attempt to navigate to the site. If your site is disabled, you should get a 'Not Found' message on a default error page.

How Are Web Addresses Constructed?In Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
When a user types a web address, she may start the address with the characters 'http://' or 'https://.' These characters indicate the protocol the web browser will use to access the address following the slashes. Most web addresses use the protocol indicator http://,' which indicates that the page will be accessed with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); the colon and slashes serve as a separator between the protocol and the beginning of the web address. Also common on the World Wide Web, though not as common as HTTP, is 'https://' or Hypertext Transfer Protocol-Secure. Other protocol indicators might include 'ftp://' for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or 'telnet://' for data transfer using the text-only Telnet protocol.
The Subdomain
The first several letters immediately following the protocol indicator and slashes indicates the subdomain being accessed on the web server. In most cases, the subdomain is 'www,' which loads the index page in the root directory or specified sub-directory of the server. The subdomain can be used to direct visitors to a specific application or page on the server, though, as is used by 'http://maps.google.com/' for Google Maps or 'http://messenger.yahoo.com/' for the official Yahoo! Messenger site. In some cases, the subdomain may be absent entirely (for example, someone may type http://google.com/), and this omission loads the default page a visitor would get by using the 'www' prefix.
The Domain Name
The domain name is the meat of the web address, and usually serves as a plain text indicator of the destination address. Domain names are as varied as the users who create them and may even be in a number of different languages. Some examples of familiar domain names include Google (http://www.google.com/), Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com/) or Apple (http://www.apple.com/). This portion of the web address must be unique when combined with the domain extension, as the domain name and extension are bound to the server Internet Protocol (IP) address for proper operation of the web service.
The Extension
The final part of a web address is the extension, usually a three-letter abbreviation that indicates the type of site being accessed. The oldest and most common top-level domain extensions are .com for commercial sites, .org for non-commercial organizations and .net for miscellaneous networks. Some additional domain extensions include .mil for military organizations, .gov for government sites, .edu for schools, and .mobi for web sites designed specifically for mobile use. More than 200 international extensions also exist--including .ca for Canadian sites, .uk for British sites, .cn for Chinese sites, and .ru for Russian sites--and a special .xxx extension has even been proposed for adult-themed web sites.

How to Move an OpenX ServerIn Feburary 2016 09,

In Feburary 2016 09,
Log in to your site's administrative back-end and make sure that the server points to your new domain name. Your host might do this for you automatically.
Connect to your site via an FTP client or a file manager provided by your Web host, whichever is most convenient for you. Navigate to the 'var' directory within your OpenX server files and locate the 'olddomain.com.conf.php' file, where 'olddomain' is the URL of your old domain. Right-click the file and select 'Rename.' Change 'olddomain' to your new domain name.
Double-click the newly named file to open it. Change every instance of your old domain name in the file to the new domain name. Save and close the file.
Double-click the 'default.conf.php' file. Replace every instance of your old domain name in the file with your new domain name. Save and close the file.
Open every other file with 'conf' in its name and change any instance of your old domain to the new domain. The number and names of these configuration files will vary depending on how you have previously used your OpenX server. Once all of the files point to the new domain, you are ready to use OpenX with your new domain name.

How to Make a Server in MurmurIn Feburary 2016 03,

In Feburary 2016 03,
Download the latest Mumble installer from SourceForge. The Mumble installer includes the Murmur server.
Launch the downloaded installer and install Mumble normally until you reach the Custom Setup screen. Click the button to the left of
Murmur (Server) on the Custom Setup screen and select
Will Be Installed on Local Hard Drive. Complete the installation after selecting this option.
Open the
Murmur.ini file located in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mumble” or “C:\Program Files\Mumble” directory in a text editor, such as Notepad.
Locate the “#registerPassword=secret” line in the file and change it to
registerPassword=YourPassword, removing the “#” at the start of the line and changing “secret” to your own password. People need this password to connect to your server; leave the password empty to make a public server.
Edit the
#registerName=Mumble Server line about the registerPassword line and change it to
registerName=Server Name, removing the “#” at the start of the line and filling in a custom name for your server. Leave this line alone if you don’t want to set a custom server name.
Save the Murmur.ini file and close it.
Start Murmur by double-clicking the
Murmur.exe file in the “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mumble” or “C:\Program Files\Mumble” directory. The Murmur server icon appears in your system tray; click
Allow Access if the Windows Firewall prompts you.
Open a Command Prompt from the Start menu, type
cd %ProgramFiles%\Mumble into the Command Prompt window and press
Enter.
Set a SuperUser password by typing
Murmur.exe -supw Your_Password into the Command Prompt, replacing “Your_Password” with your own custom password and press
Enter. Close the Command Prompt after running this command.
Start the Mumble client and connect to your Murmur server. You can log in as the account “SuperUser” with the SuperUser password you set to get administrator access and configure your server.

How to Configure Stunnel WindowsIn Feburary 2016 02,

In Feburary 2016 02,
Install Stunnel. Download the Windows binary file from Stunnel.org. Double-click on the executable 'stunnel-4.34-installer.exe' and accept the default values for installing Stunnel on your computer.
Copy a valid SSL public certificate to the directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel.' To make things more trouble-free, combine the public key and private key certificates into one .PEM file.
Modify the Stunnel configuration file. Open the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.conf' using a text editor such as Notepad. Modify the file to include the line 'cert = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\
,' where
is the name of your certificate file. Modify the file to specify both the incoming (secure) port and the outgoing (insecure) ports. Label this section in brackets for clarity's sake. An example configuration looks like this:[https]accept = 443connect = 8080This configuration tells Stunnel to accept incoming connections on port 443 secured using the public key SSL certificate and redirect those connections to port 8080 on the local server without security.(See reference 1.)
Configure Stunnel to start automatically. Navigate to the Start menu, 'stunnel' folder and click on 'Service Install.' Stunnel will configure a Windows service called 'stunnel' to start automatically when the computer boots.
