I think I've done something stupid with the server

I installed MySQL and PHP and now no one can get on from the outside. *sigh*

AND I'm not sure I installed them properly. I'm just the web developer. I wish someone else would take care of this stuff for me . . .

:BangHead:

 

Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm as much help as that wall you are hitting your head against.

:tear:

 

Thanks exscentric -- just nice to have someone listen :type:

My name was mud this morning . . .

 

Double bummer!!!!

Did the higher ups like the mud pies you made them? :smilewinkgrin:

Hope you get it cleared up!

 

It was cleared up by noon, but I seriously considered leaving right after that.

It's been a long time since I made mud pies :thumbs:

 

Did you figure out what went wrong? I've never had any serious problems with PHP/MySQL, although admittedly I rarely use it on windows. I do have a SBS 2003 server here at the office that is running it with no problems.

 

It's just permissions. Basic php, mysql problems.

 

It wasn't me!

Some switch got thrown by one of the IT guys that required log-in permission to view the site. *whew*

 

Whew!

I thought you were the IT . . . ;)

 

Wow! Me IT? that would really be scary!

 

WebDevs need to know PhP and MySQL, you could outsource the work to me if you wish :)

Curious. You only can be contacted by phone. You don't trust the internet or something :smilewinkgrin:

 

mmmmm I've been trying to learn, but it would be easier if I didn't have to teach every day too :D

I plan to figure it all out, but the word Eventually really comes to mind.

 

I had the domain years ago and then lost it, now I have it back, it seems to be being spammed from all over the place. I have an email account setup for it but only give it out to friends and clients. I might setup a mailer form on the site but to be honest I think the service is more personal over the telephone.

 

Yes, email and spam seem joined at the hip :tonofbricks:
