Hey, a friend of mine is starting up her own business, and she was wondering how to get her website to appear on google. Do meta tags do that?

Apologies. Web design ignoramus here.

I am beginning to work on multiple sites on my home test server and need to set up virtual hosts. 

My server is running SuSE 10 with Apache 2, and is accessed by typing in "talon" in firefox's address bar.  I copied vhosts.template to site1.conf and edited it as follows:

# # VirtualHost template # Note: to use the template, rename it to /etc/apache2/vhost.d/yourvhost.conf. # Files must have the .conf suffix to be loaded. # # See /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/README.QUICKSTART for further hints # about virtual hosts. # # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container. # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known # server name. # <VirtualHost *:80>     ServerAdmin deathrockadrya@yahoo.com     ServerName site1.talon     # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your     # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but     # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.     DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/site1     # if not specified, the global error log is used     ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/site1     # CustomLog /var/log/apache2/site1      # don't loose time with IP address lookups     HostnameLookups Off     # needed for named virtual hosts     UseCanonicalName Off     # configures the footer on server-generated documents     ServerSignature On     # Optionally, include *.conf files from /etc/apache2/conf.d/     #     # For example, to allow execution of PHP scripts:     #     # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_php4.conf     #     # or, to include all configuration snippets added by packages:     # Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf     # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.     # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that     # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and     # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.     # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to     # Alias.     #     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/vhosts/site1/cgi-bin/"     # "/srv/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased     # CGI directory exists, if you have one, and where ScriptAlias points to.     #     <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/site1/cgi-bin">         AllowOverride None         Options +ExecCGI -Includes         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Directory>     # UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home     # directory if a ~user request is received.     #     # To disable it, simply remove userdir from the list of modules in APACHE_MODULES     # in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.     #     <IfModule mod_userdir.c>         # Note that the name of the user directory ("public_html") cannot simply be         # changed here, since it is a compile time setting. The apache package         # would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting         # /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the directories would be         # executed with the UID of the webserver.         UserDir public_html         # The actual configuration of the directory is in         # /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf.         Include /etc/apache2/mod_userdir.conf         # You can, however, change the ~ if you find it awkward, by mapping e.g.         # http://www.example.com/users/karl-heinz/ --> /home/karl-heinz/public_html/         #AliasMatch ^/users/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]*)/?(.*) /home/$1/public_html/$2     </IfModule>     #     # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.     #     <Directory "/srv/www/vhosts/site1">             #         # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",         # or any combination of:         #  Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews         #         # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"         # doesn't give it to you.         #         # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see         # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options         # for more information.         #         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks             #         # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.         # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:         #  Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit         #         AllowOverride None             #         # Controls who can get stuff from this server.         #         Order allow,deny         Allow from all         </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Next I opened /etc/hosts and edited as follows:

# # hosts        This file describes a number of hostname-to-address #              mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly #              used at boot time, when no name servers are running. #              On small systems, this file can be used instead of a #              "named" name server. # Syntax: #    # IP-Address  Full-Qualified-Hostname  Short-Hostname # 127.0.0.1        localhost 127.0.0.1        site1      site1.talon 127.0.0.1        site2      site2.talon 127.0.0.1        site3      site3.talon

Then, rcrestart apache2.... ok.

And here is where I am stumped..  (and btw I googled the bit about /etc/hosts - i'm not sure if that's how it should be).    If I type in http://talon/site1 Apache says page can't be found.  If I try http://site1 page can't be found.    My site1 files exist in the DocumentRoot listed in the site1.conf file above. 

I also read through apache's documentation on virtual hosts but the way they explained it didn't make as much sense to me. 

Thanks for any and all help.. I've wanted to learn vhosts for some time now.

First post here, I've done a fir bit of research into this and still can't work it out.

I have a form that has a checkbox. What need to happen is that if the box is checked then it needs to redirect to a website and send a mail stating that they person has checked the ticlbox, if not it needs to just send the mail stating that the box has not been checked . The mailing part is fine (I think) it's just the issue with the redirection. I can't seem to get my head around it. I know I should be using the $variable = ( condition ? "value if condition is true" : "value if condition is false" ); string but I'm at a loss of how to do it.

Basically what the rediection needs to do is what the form below does.

Hi, I am sure this is really simple but I am beat and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a php program that takes data from a form and puts it into a database. This information can then be edited with a web form as well. The data is displayed in a news page for the web site's visitors. Ok all that is easy. The part I am having a hard time with is the correct way to handle the text. I suppose essentially its like LJ but on a much smaller scale with no comments. A daily news system.

I can use nl2br() to convert the new lines, but then in the editing window I dont want the user to see it when they are editing. The know nothing about HTML.

Can you point me to a resource that will explain the correct procedure for handling this? Or just tell me which functions to use.

Much thanks.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here though I've been lurking for a couple of months. I was wondering if there had ever been any questions on creating skinnable websites. Does anyone possibly know of some good tutorials or information on them? I'm interested in using one for my personal website, but haven't really had much luck in figuring out exactly how to create them.

Thanks for the help!

More and more people are adding auto-play audio/video to their websites & blogs in the mistaken belief that "it's cool". No, sorry people, it's just plain annoying. Trouble is that you often don't know that it's downloading until it's too late.

Is there a plugin (or any other way) to block these annoying audio/video clips? Not the whole website, just the noise. Ideally prevent the download (these clips can be quite large) but failing that, just don't start playing automagically.

Part of the problem is that I'm looking at a lot of new blogs as I accumulate credits with BlogClicker, BlogExplosion and BlogTraffic - even though some of them offer an option to skip sites with audio it's down to the blog's author to identify their site as having such content, and many just don't do it.

You might remember a few weeks ago someone posted about a clique* finder for LJ. I wrote another program to do this, using an algorithm that finds exact solutions. It runs quite fast for inputs up to around 200 or so (it takes < 1 second for anything up to around 140). Also, it finds all cliques, not just the maximal one.

I tried it against the clique finder that was linked in that discussion, and the results seem to match, though I only tried a few usernames.

I don't have a nifty web interface set up for it (it's in Perl, with the clique-finding code in C++), and I wouldn't have anywhere to host it if I did, but if you are interested I can run some queries on it.

* My definition of a clique is a group where every pair of members are MUTUAL friends, and no member can be added to the group while maintaining this property.
