a simple trick using the .htaccess file

A simple tutorial which only involves editing one little file. Useful for those of us who have mime-typed extensions or who are creating lots of test design files and want an easy way to make the design they like best their default file.

1. Create a file called .htaccess in the /public_html/ folder if you don’t have it. I think one should be there already when you get your site so if it isn’t you should create it anyway!
2. In the file write the following:

CODE:
DirectoryIndex best_design.weirdext

3. Replace best_design.weirdext with the file you want your index page to be.
4. Open your website and if all has worked well, you should have your customized index page.

This is the basic question that the client usually ask ” How to set up my mail account into my Ms Outlook “, So I decided to write this article,

First of all, We need to run the Mail client. In this Article we will Configure first the MS OUTLOOK EXPRESS. There are two ways of configuring your MS Outlook.

1. - You can Configure through a “AUTO-CONFIGURATION” by loging in your webmail “http://youdomain.com/webmail” then click the “configure client” after clicking the configure client select what Application you are using. Please be aware of version of your MS Outlook Express you are using because this is the commonly problem for the beginners. Download the right settings of your MS Outlook Express version you are using to not encounter error for the Ms Outlook Express. then after downloading the “Auto-Configure Settings” double click the files and thats all.

If you installed a script that says you need register global=ON or OFF you can usually fix this through .htaccess if that file is in your root. Try the following code to see if one works with your program:

php_flag register_globals off

or

php_flag register_globals off
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

or

php_value register_globals 1

or

php_value register_globals 0

Contacting the software vendor will also usually provide you with a solution if the above code samples don’t work.

If after you have contacted the software vendor, they were unable to help you, open up a support ticket with your hosting provider.

There are a number of reasons, you might not be able to view your site. Here are some:

  1. Your domain has not completely resolved. It usually takes 24-72 hours to fully propagate.
  2. If you moved your site to a new provider and your nameservers are correctly configured:
    1. Windows Users: Go to Start > Run > Type cmd > Enter > Type ipconfig /flushdns
  3. You can go to: http://www.stealthproxyuk.com/ and type in your domain name.
    1. If your domain is not visible, double check your nameserver configuration
    2. If your site is visible, proceed to the next steps.
  4. If step 3(B) worked and you are using a broadband connection, follow these steps:
    1. Disconnect the power to the broadband modem and router (if applicable).
    2. Wait 10-15 minutes. This will help clear the old cache or reset the modem.
    3. Plug the router in first (if applicable), then the broadband modem.
    4. Go to your website and press F5 a few times to refresh the browser.
  5. If your site is till not visible, contact your ISP
    1. Tell them you can’t view your site and ask them if they can see your domain?
    2. Ask them to refresh your account to clear all DNS history.

Just keep this in mind, they will never admit they are at fault at times.

You may also ask friends or family that are using different providers to check to see if they can view your site also.
