thanks for the help on the wiki guys, I'll fix it tonight, and finish moving the wiki pages.

Lobster, I have created an email account for you, lobster@puppylinux.org.
It has "active spam filtering" enabled, meaning that all emails will bounce, with a message to sender to confirm -- a sender only has to do it once and is thereafter trusted.
Any other Puppy Foundation members may also have an email address!

You can pop your email from: pop3.servage.net
or webmail at: http://webmail.servage.net/

Lobster. I will send a personal message right now, with username and password.

heh heh, our account is now using 1.1MB and transfer total is 7.5M.

You must be proud - consider that as an official draft to the Puppy Foundation Smile

Which means, Chief Barry, that i can retain my forum_name@puppylinux.org even if i get assigned as admin? (just curious) Of course I will be happy to get one email address too. Thanks!

Okay, I made those changes to the wikka.config.php file, but it didn't work.

So, I went to Servage.net's FAQ and found out why:

In the Control Panel I had to enable .htaccess, which also enabled the mod_rewrite module of Apache server.

However, the FAQ stated that it can take up to 3 hours for the change to work its way through.
So, I'm waiting...

Hey All !
Congratulations on the Move !

At 11G a day , and ~ 50MB per Puppy iso download , that's 200 - 220 downloads a day limit. Might be a problem when a new iso comes out.
Using a Torrent for the first X days or weeks would help , I'd be happy to let one rip ! I had Puppy 1.0.5-Mozilla running for days , but had no takers ...
I'd be happy to use my Broad Band for a Download site also , But I'd need some help setting up an FTP site.
( I've only got 10 Boxes running Folding@Home right now , but two are Dual CPU ! Smile

)
I usually set my upload limit to 40 KB/s with Bittorrent ( Bits On Wheels on my Mac Mini ) , but have hit 60 KB/s a few times. I think 260 KB/s downloading. My Insight account is ( supposed to be ) unlimited. Would love to test that theory out Very Happy

So , If one of you , as an Official PupRep , would like to help me with the set up , PM or e-mail me and we'll get started !
Or start a thread in the appropriate forum We can use.

Hello, and thanks for your offer. You may get started here and there, and start a new thread if bugs come out.

You may also consider using Xitami, a high-performance server, although Puppy has its own, as discussed in those threads.

Cheers!

I'm still porting wiki pages across...
problem is, I didn't realise just how big the wiki has become, and I keep getting interrupted...
one of my sisters phoned me yesterday, her computer has broken down,
had to take my daughter to a end of school function last night,
and so on.

...my daughter has a teashirt with "No I will not fix your computer" on it... I need something like that.

Anyway, will finish it off after reading this forum, and also port lots of pages from the old goosee.com, and start putting links from the old goosee.com.

Oh yeah, the reason I was unable to import the dumped mysql database to servage.net may have been because they are running mysql version 4.0.23.
They have informed me they plan to upgrade to 4.1.x soon.

BarryK · Posted: Fri 28 Oct 2005, 06:58 Post subject: New email accounts

Have created
jayATpuppylinux.org
raffyATpuppylinux.org

And sent personal messages to puppian and raffy with the details.

This handing out of email accounts could get out of hand!
So, have drawn a halt to it.... unless you are one of our longtime
contributing Puppy participants.

Have deleted the adminATpuppylinux.org account.

Note, as mentioned earlier, all these email addresses have "active filtering".
