1. As usual everything I'm rading on the internet seems to have something to do with web programming, and I'm not programming for the web.

I'm trying to set a relation in a dataset, and I'm getting the following error: "Parent Columns and Child Columns don't have type-matching columns." Now, putting aside the embarrassingly painful grammar of that statement, it's quite simply not true; the two columns I'm trying to relate are both int. One was originally no-NULLs-allowed and the other nullable, but changing them to be the same in that cases didn't fix the problem. Anyone know of any other reasons why this error might crop up that actually have nothing to do with te column types involved?

2. This is an incredibly noobish question, sorry; I'm not used to writing stuff that other people will actually use.

My boss is after a progress report on my current project, so I built a copy of it and put the copy out on one of our network drives to which he also has access. The computer on which he's attempting to run the program has .NET 2.0, so no problem there. When he attempts to run the program, he gets an odd error that I don't remember off the top of my head, but it translates to "SQL Server is not letting you in." Our server is set to require Windows authentication, and he is logged in.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Edited for solution

It's been forever and a day since I've been able to view any of the tutorials from this site -- http://tutorials.stuartlittlephotography.co.uk/

Apparently I'm not the only one, so he sent out an email the other day --


Removing White Backgrounds

Hi There,

In the past 2 weeks I have been experimenting with different ways of delivering the weekly tutorial, because depending on what computer set up you have, you either get to watch the tutorial or you don't. "I have been listening to your comments you know" :)

So I have come up with a way of embedding the normal Quicktime video into a pdf and using that pdf as a container for delivery through your browser. The pdf version has been tested with users like yourself this week on Internet Explorer, Mozilla & Safari web browsers and no problems so far.

Instructions

You will need to have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 7. Its free and you can get it by clicking on the link below or copying and pasting the url into your web browser.

Get Adobe Reader

Click or Copy & Paste into Browser.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Once you have Acrobat installed you can then go to the tutorials page as normal.

When you click on the "View Here" link, a blank browser page will appear and the pdf will start to download. It is 10.48mb in size and will take about 2.5 min's to download.

Once you can view the page in the browser you will then be able to "save a copy" to your desktop and view offline for as long as you want.

Finally, there is an option in Acrobat to change the view in %. The video tutorial is best viewed at 75% rather than the default 100%. If you have any problems then please email me by return.

This method of pdf delivery has been tested this week, but I am very keen to know what you think of it?

Removing White Backgrounds

This episode shows you how to remove a subject from its white background and blend with another image.

Click or Copy & Paste into Browser.
http://tutorials.stuartlittlephotography.co.uk/

I downloaded the tutorial. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 and Quicktime 7 but when I tried to
view it, I got the error "The media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete." When I click 'Get Media Player' it takes me to the Apple site and I download Itunes and Quicktime 7, which I already have. So, I uninstalled QuickTime 7 and installed 6.5.2. Now I can get past that initial error, but I am back to hearing audio and no video. I get this error "QuickTime is missing software required to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server."

I can't seem to find anything helpful with google. Can someone please help me alleviate my frustration?

Cheers!!

The solution
was so easy once I found out. In Adobe Reader, there is an option to check for new updates. When I clicked this, I received a message that there were no new updates. Googling the right question brought me to an actual Adobe page that had a link to some updates. (Not sure why the program didn't find these). I updated my Adobe Reader to 7.0.5 and now have no troubles viewing the movie.

I found this solution on this page -- http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331566.html

I'm using osCommerce and Chase Paymenttech to set up an online store for a client. This is my first time doing it. I've been asked for the url and gateway. I'm assuming the URL would be where the osCommerce catalog is sitting? What about gateway? I've asked the network guy in the office but he didn't know.

Hello everyone! This community is usually very helpful, so maybe you can enlighten me about pull-down menus. It appears that they can only be constructed when an image is the reference mouse-over item, but I am tired of always making images for menu items in order to make a pull-down. I am using CSS... any help on this? Tutorials I've found use images, so I am not sure where else to look. Thanks in advance! (posted to webdesign also)

I have a shopping cart system that was dumped on me by the client. They are using Wells Fargo Online Merchant Services (authorize.net) and since this project is running really late and they are a non-profit I could only find one solution that "works" with them (http://www.merchantplus.com/freepaymentscripts.php). There is next to nothing on support from the Merchantplus people, and very little on the interwebs. I just want to be able to take my lovely form, use some script to do the credit card processing and be done with this project. Any hints or people who have used authorize.net in the past?

I'm not sure where I should search for the answer on my question, so I decided to ask you guys :-) Thanks in advance for everyone who can help.

There is a FreeBSD server where an apache is installed. One httpd process is listening to port 80 and works as a proxy for the other httpds which work on a number of virtual hosts. These httpds also listen to some port which shouldn't be shown to the web-sites' visitors.

In the text of the proxy httpd's httpd.conf we have such a code:


ServerName megaserver.su
DocumentRoot /home/megaserversu/www
ProxyPass / http://www.megahoster.su:32001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.megahoster.ru:32001/
#CacheRoot "/usr/local/apache/proxy/"


Then a visitor asks for megaserver.su, the proxy httpd send a request to the corresponding httpd of that site and returns the data as if it have taken if from its own folders. The problem appears when one requests a folder like megaserver.su/superfolder/ - if there is a trailing slash then everything is fine, but if there isn't... it's fine too, except of the address represented by browser that transforms to http://megaserver.su:32001/superfolder/

Just in case:

There are such lines in the configs of the proxy and personal httpds:

LoadModule dir_module libexec/apache2/mod_dir.so
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

I understand that I should set somehow that the requests for folders without trailing slash should be treated as the one with it, but which module really does it? I've read the docs on these two modules but couldn't determine how to make it do what I want. Maybe it's better just to rewrite the address string on the proxy httpd using mod_rewrite, is it possible? Which way is better?

I have a client who's a musician and he wants to put clips of his music on his website. I've got copies of the songs and as far as I can tell they're normal mp3's but any kind of software I've tried downloading to edit these suckers keeps telling me they're not valid mpeg files.

Does anybody have any suggestions on what to try with these things?

Hello All

I'm sorry if this is a painfully stupid question, but I've tried looking everywhere on the interweb for an answer, but to no avail.

I'm running apache 1.3 in XP at the moment, and am using it as a development server, as I'm currently trying to make and test a little pet project of mine using php and mysql. When I try to connect to the server through a browser (by typing "http:/ /localhost"), it loads the index page fine, but if I try any of the links off of that page, IE insists I connect to the internet, despite the fact they are locally hosted, and are in the htdocs folder. I'm certain the server is running, it just won't let ne access them through a browser. I'm pretty sure It's something blatently obvious, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou greatly

Sam

Hope this is within the realms of this community.

I do a ton of web design work with my brother's company. This involves me either driving there to pick up the files on CD, which is kind of a pain in the fanny sometimes. I don't mind getting out of the house, but it does add wear and tear to my vehicle when I am only there for a few minutes.

He has other uses for FTP hosting as well for printers, clients and the like.

I would go in with him on the hosting costs so it would have to be pretty inexpensive, reliable and easy enough for him to understand.

Anyone have any hosts you prefer? We don't need any web hosting, this would be strictly file storage.

I would go ahead and host that here on another machine but then I would require to purchase IP addresses and with set-up fees that seems silly since I will be moving from my currently location in June. Not very cost effective at the moment.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: In doing some Googling (actually found it through Yahoo though) I was wondering if anyone has used http://www.streamload.com They do have a free based file hosting account and I will try that but it's always nice to be able to have opinions on long or longer-than short term use, if you will.

hey all
quick question - who do you use for web hosting? i'm looking for recommendations for small business/personal site hosting, like for bands and other small clients who don't require a ton of bandwidth or even much storage. i've used fatcow, but didn't have to maintain the site so i don't know how great they turned out to be. i currently host my own site with yahoo small business, which is like 11.95 a month for 5 gigs of storage and 200 gigs of bandwidth. they support scripting languages and have integrated wordpress and movable type which is pretty sweet, but i'm wondering if i can do better.
thanks!

Here's my problem. Usually 1 to 5 minutes after signing on to the internet, all open windows and running programs on my computer shut themselves down leaving me with a view of my desktop. Then a few seconds later, all icons on my desktop and the bar at the bottom disappear leaving me with just the background image of my desktop.

At this point there is nothing I can do except manually turn the computer off. Even pressing ctrl-alt-del doesn't bring up the task manager or anything. I can still see and move the mouse arrow, but that's it.

The first time this happened I had recently played Quake 2, and had messed around with the video settings. So initially I thought that had something to do with it. I restored my computer to a checkpoint from last month so any changes resulting from that would be undone, yet it still shuts down every time I use the internet.

Then I noticed my computer was only doing this when I signed online. As long as I stay offline I'm fine. So this makes me suspect it's a problem with Internet Explorer. Now, recently I also pissed off the moderator of a certain website. He banned my specific IP address from his site last week, so I'm thinking maybe he also sent something to infect my web browser.

Regardless of why this is happening, I would like to try deleting Internet Explorer completely from my computer and either reinstalling it or another browser like Firefox. However there are two problems with this.

1. I can't download Firefox because before it finishes downloading my computer shuts down.

2. I can't figure out how to remove Internet Explorer from my computer. It seems to be integrated into the OS. (I use windows XP)

Does anyone have any ideas on why this problem is happening or what I need to do? I can't even stay online long enough to make a livejournal post. I had to use my dad's computer to post this.

Date: 03/18/06 (PHP Community)    Keywords: php, web, apache

I've been looking for a good IDE that supports PHP and have been unable to find anything really useful. I'd prefer it if I could have a streamlined updating feature, because manual updating via FTP/[insert uploading method here] is a real drag. The best I've found so far has been a plug-in for Eclipse. However, it's really laggy (every time I go to type a variable name, I get a pop-up of EVERY INSTANCE of EVERY PHP VARIABLE NAME in the entire Eclipse project), and Eclipse's WebDAV support seems very broken, with no intentions on fixing it (a stupid decision, IMHO, considering WebDAV support is touted as a major Eclipse feature).

Anybody have any recommendations? I'm really accustomed to the way IDEs such as Visual Studio, NetBeans and Eclipse work. I'm on a tight budget ($0) and I'd prefer if the solution was Free. An added plus would be WebDAV, SFTP or SCP support. My Debian server's running Apache2 with the WebDAV plugin turned on and working pretty efficiently. I have proftpd installed and marginally working, although I'd rather not use that due to no encryption. To the best of my knowledge, I don't have an SFTP or SCP daemon running on that machine (unless there's one magically bundled with proftpd).

This is only indirectly related to Web Design, but I am going to purchase an LCD monitor very soon, and I was wondering what size I should get. I am on a budget guys. I use my computer primarily for designing/developing web pages, using music apps like Ableton: Live and ACID Pro. Should I get a 17" or a 19" ? Though the 19" would be bigger, I noticed that both sizes tend to have the same native resolution, so what is the point in getting the 19" ? Am I wrong?
