Can anyone please tell me how to make the username and password login box on my webpage. I know how to design it but what is the script to make it work? I want my website to have a cookie saved on the computer when you sign in and then deleted when one signed out. Please help. Waiting for reply.

You need to know a bit of PHP. That, or just Google search for one on the net.

I found a few php sites but they weren't helpful as they only gave me scripts that tell you to save your username and password in the script of the webpage so it is viewable to anyone who checks out the webpage's source. I need a login and password feature which uses cookies so is more secure. Waiting for reply.

somthing about setcookie()

Thanks for the website, though I don't like using php that much mainly because I suck at it. Isn't there any program that allows you to do it or ready made scripts for it e.g. the script for the phpbb forum. If anyone finds any such thing please do reply.

Programming languages are rarely that simple.

lol the cpanel is amazing.

 

you can passprotect your directories from the cpanel...

 

and you can install phpbb forums as well as joomla.

 

i think that answers most of the questions in this thread?

I would just use the .httaccess file or use your cpanel to password protect a directory.

Hey, I'm new to this whole webdesigning thing. I installed this server software and then I copied the files to the webserver folder. I read the documentation of the files I uploaded and it said that chmod this and chmod that to 777. What is Chmod anyways?

[Quantum Media LLC]

chmod is a protocol that tells the server which files can be run and by who.

 

to change the chmod of a file or directory, you can use the command line if you have ssi access or telnet access or by using the cpanel

I have a server program on my computer. I downloaded this shoutbox and then it says that I have to Chmod it. I really do not get how to do it. Can you help?

usa an ftp program to ftp into your computer ( i know it sounds funny) and chmod the file thru the ftp program

[Dragonfire]

I founded a ftp server program and installed it. It doesn't have chmod option anywhere. What else can I try?

[Quantum Media LLC]

all, or most, ftp programs have a cmod option. in the server file list right click on the file and go to properties for most and you will see a box with 3 numbers and or check boxes with read write run i think for owner user world. cmod to the appropriate settings you need.

[Dragonfire]

It isn't working using the ftp server program. Is there any other way of doing it?

 

And does anyone know where I could get a free control panel for users of my website if I'm providing them hosting.
