  1. Hi,

     

    i want to password protect my web site.

     

    I am using Front Page and have the FrontPage extensions activated on my account.

     

    I created the password form on my index.html page but now have to configure the password on the server side using a "form handler" (according to the FrontPage Help)

     

    Any good ideas on how to do this?

     

    TKS

     

    I have no idea how to do this using FrontPage extensions but you can do it with .htaccess/.htpasswd very easily. For help with this, I suggest asking at The Host Helpers. I use them whenever I need help with coding a site or doing something like this. I'm sure if you ask there they can help you.

     

  2. As the error says, you can't set session information once the server sends header information to the client. Your problem has nothing to do with session save paths, but rather content being sent to the client before you try and set your session.

     

    Remember, your session has to come first before any output (or white space) on the requested page.

  3. People can make emails "appear" to be from whomever they want. As an example, try this site: http://emailpranker.com. See how you can send an email to yourself appearing to be from whomever you want? That's because the "From" line of the email header can contain whatever email address I want. However, if you look through the Message Headers, you can see exactly what server the email originated from. This is how many "phishers" (people trying to steal your passwords) work. They make their email appear to be from a legitimate source (such as gmail.com or whatever) and then either ask you to email back your account details or visit some phony website that looks like GMail. Do you understand now?

     

    If not, I suggest taking a look at the PHP mail function.

     

    The format for it is:

     

    mail($SendTo, $SubjectofEmail, $BodyofEmail, $MessageHeaders);

     

    By setting $MessageHeaders to "From: Heliohost_Account_Issues@gmail.com\r\n" the email will appear to be from the email address Heliohost_Account_Issues@gmail.com.

     

    Coincidentally, that is almost exactly how Email Pranker sends out the "Prank" emails.

  4. Does you old host let you access your database remotely? If so, just give access to your Heliohost account (I think you give privileges to an IP address actually). If not, I believe Heliohost lets you access your database remotely so just run it from here and give access to the database to your old host.

     

    For splitting the load between 2 servers, just put all 4 name servers in. Then, 50% of the time your address will resolve to one host and 50% of the time it will resolve to the other host. If you use email with your domain name, be sure to set the MX records to the same thing on both hosts.

     

    This is very doable and is done in business sites. It is known a "Load Balancing".
