    APACHE

    After unzipping the apache server files... what do i do next? how do i get started?
  2. I am extracting the apache files right now.. on their website they say this:It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatureswhat do they mean by that? also where can I get mySQL to install and is it free?
  3. hey thanks for the reply.There is an area in phpMyAdmin to add users, the problem is my username does not have permission.. the only one with all permissions is the user 'yroot' which i cannot connect to.. even with the password they have in the mysql database 'users' tableI will try the things you said when I get home thanks!
  4. does anyone have any idea why I cannot connect as the yroot user?when i installed phpmyadmin I made a username "astralaaron" but when I look at my privlages it is only 'usage'and there is a user called 'yroot' with all privlages.I looked at the help files at yahoo (they are hosting my space) and it directed me to the table called mysql and the table userson this table it shows yroot user and a long password of numbers and letters. and it shows my "astralaaron" name also with a similar password which is not the password that I log into phpMyAdmin with. it also shows privilages there and yroot has Y for every one of them, and astralaaron has N for all of themI have been trying to connect to my database from a phpfile and everytime it turns up a blank page. I contacted yahoo on the phone and this guy had me on the phone for 30 minutes putting me on hold constantly and finnaly he told me he knew nothing about phpMyAdmin or MySQL and that no one there at yahoo could help me. does anyone know about the yroot user? and why I cannot connect as the yroot user.. and why it just turns up a blank page when I load the php program that is suposed to show a table from my database?
  5. sure enough, with ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL); its still a blank page..
  6. I am learning the basics of php and mySQL from a book called php and mySQL for the absolute beginner.at the end of the book he has you connect to a database you made from a php program.the program code is here:<html><head> <title>Show Adventure</title></head><body><?$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");mysql_select_db("game", $conn);$sql = "SELECT * FROM ADVENTURE";$result = mysql_query($sql);while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ foreach($row as $key=>$value){ print "$key: $value<br>\n"; } print "<hr>\n";}my question is since my webspace is hosted by yahoo what would I put in place of localhost?in phpMyAdmin it says this:MySQL 4.1.14 running on www.mywalkthrough.com as astralaaron@localhosti am using phpMyAdmin, and i am just assuming the username and password for mySQL is the same as phpmyadmin?i tried putting www.mywalkthrough.com , tried astralaaron, tried mywalkthrough.com, I emailed the writer of the book and he told me it sounds like localhost should be there because mysql is hosted on yahoo too..everytime I run the php file it just opened a blank page...any suggestions???></body></html>

  13. How many meta keywords / phrases are too much?
  14. anyone have any strategy for getting other relevant sites to yours that rank high want to link to you site?
  15. I agree, I learn more from this guy than I do in school.

  16. what does a webcrawler think about people that use stuff like this to help them align things<p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"> </p>I myself do not use that, but someone I know who claims to be a search engine guru uses them all over his page
  17. Do search engines like or dislike the use of CSS to lay out a website ?
  18. Will haveing a sitemap on both top and bottom of my pages of my website be considerd spam by webrobots and mark me down in ranking?
