what does "User-agent: * Disallow: /" mean when its displayed at the top of the useragent (in this case opera)? regards,

there is an excellent windows based management tool for mysql that is available for download at: http://www.sqldeveloper.net/index.php best,

how many different browsers use agent strings and how many different strings are there? take a guess, then look: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm best,

running services such as ftp, http, smtp (mail), irc, etc. etc. on one or more of the systems on a lan involves port forwarding. i've found this information available at www.portforward.com useful: if you want background and details: 1. guides: www.portforward.com/guides.htm 2. port forwarding from 0 to 60 and beyond www.portforward.com/help/pfprogression.htm if you just want to do it: 1. how2 setup a static ip on your system: www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm 2. find your dsl modem/router, see how2 set it to forward a port. www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm best,

just a note in passing. it appears that office mail 2 is now the only vsn of office mail available from burrotech best,

whoa! do i feel dumb (again). best,

thank you ric. will do. best,

hello all, i'm working through graeme merrall's nice (and dense) php/mysql tutorial found on webmonkey. part way through that tutorial graeme begins a section that he notes builds on an earlier webmonkey tutorial involving html forms, and suggests that any unfamiliar with it go look at it. knowing at least something about html forms, i'd not take the dirversion except that his php will be building an anchor tag (while he's (apparently) slipping in little things like php recursion), and i don't understand what the anchor tag he's building has to do with html forms. ok, im'a gonna set graeme's tutorial aside and go look_at/do the html form tutorial to ground myself in what graeme's building on. sure enough, there's this in the html form tutorial: <form method="get" action="http://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/mailscript/"> </form> the html tutorial tells me that this "get" action involves a "forms script" and that "The action attribute provides the correct path to where the form script is processed." "processed" or resides? i don't know. i do believe i'll find out. so, i need a "mailscript" and i (appear to) need a cgi-bin under ~\www before i can continue with the html form diversion. humm... the "cgi-bin" isn't under~\www, its under ~\udrive. ok. im'a gonna go look for mail processing scripts and stash one in ~\www\cgi-bin. thing is, i'd like to know if there is anything lurking over the horizon involving cgi that i should know before i begin this second diversion. is there an apparent answer to that question at this time? best,

I have now. It was an interesting and informative diversion and information gained while (far) afield may be useful, but its time to return to the mainline of Uniform Server. Best,

Things get more interesting. *********** from php.ini ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. "... Win32 will only look at MYSQL_PORT." *********** recovered from from mysqld-opt.exe The port the master is listening on. If not set, the compiled setting of MYSQL_PORT is assumed. If you have not tinkered with configure options, this should be 3306. The value in master.info will take precedence if it can be read. *********** ... compiled setting..., and neither '3306' or its hexadecimal repre- sentation (0CEA (halfword)) can be found in mysqld-opt.exe. Normally, this would be source code time, and there are indications (open text within mysqld-opt.exe) that its available, however mysqld- opt.exe has relatives: mysqld-nt.exe, and mysqld-nt-max.exe. mysqld- opt.exe may have been chosen for Uniform Server as it will run under 98se. I may end this line of investigation to simply continue developing in and with Uniform Server. Time passes, but it has been interesting so far. Have not decided yet. Best,

Although I've gained from looking, we can call my reason(s) idiosyncratic and be pretty much accurate. Yep, I feel guilty not having looked for/at the manual you mentioned earlier. I'll look for it (phpMyAdmin Manual?) on the net. I'll watch for it. I am late in responding to your post. Sorry about that. I've been busy. I'll alter things as you note above this evening and let you know how it goes. Thanks. Best, Alan

should have said that aside from php.ini and my-small.cnf php_mysql.dll and mysqlid-opt.exe are the *only* files that contain the string '3306'. i am not a c programmer but i am a very experienced assembly language programmer in mainframe realtime reentrant and non- reentrant environments, and i've a fair amount of experience writing drivers for motorola chips, so source code per-se dosen't bother me and i may find what's going on in those programs - and i may find that i can edit the object files directly that would be fun. i've not edited object code in bunches of years. so, is the source code for these programs available somewhere? best,

known clean system. same things. the link library 'php_mysqli.dll' and the executable 'mysqld-opt.exe' contain the string '3306'. is the source code for these programs available somewhere that you know of?

restarted the pc essentially the same response (only one path tested). although i believe the only changes i've made to the default 3.5 setup are those as per the docs relating to security when net access is enabled, and mysql's default port, i will do a fresh install of 3.5 this evening and then test having altered only php.ini and my-small.cnf for the port change. best,
