If you do it that way you won't have your Strongboxxx htaccess file anymore. I'm not sure if you'll need it, and maybe you have a backup of it (doesn't sound like it), but doing it that way will delete the one that's there now. A better way is to rename the one that's on the server now first and then upload the one you have on your computer.
If you can't see the .htaccess file, you may need to change some setting(s) on your ftp program to "show invisibles" or something like that. Otherwise you can ask your server techs to swap the files for you. Just upload the file as htaccess_to_use and then they can do the swap for, changing the current htaccess file to htaccess_SB. Those names are just examples, but I hope you get what I mean. And hopefully Ray will get back to you soon.

 dumb lol ...I renamed it...just like you said in the first place  I couldn't see the .htaccess on that space but funny I looked in on one of my other sites on the same host and I can see the .htaccess using the same ftp. So I'm not exactly sure what is going on with that. Since I couldbn't see it throught the ftp I went through the cpanel file manager and worked on it there. I didn't delete or over write anything just named the "_old" back to the main file and the main to sb. Hopefully when Ray has time I'm sure he'll look at it. I just don't want any bastards canceling or whatever because they can't login for a day or two. Oh and for whomever is reading this this has nothing to do with Strongbox or Ray lol his stuff works great I just needed to get this working. |

I'm going through my email now and I guess I'm soon to find one from
you and reply to that as well, but mostly in case someone finds this post later I figured I'd reply here as well. Simon told you exactly right. When we install Strongbox we rename your old .htaccess file to .htaccess_bak. To disable Strongbox temporarily you can just rename .htaccess to .htaccess_sb and .htaccess_bak to .htaccess. If your FTP isn't showing "hidden" files, which start with a dot, you can normally correct that using the ettings in your FTP client. In WS-FTP I believe the setting is called "remote file mask" and you want to set it to "-al". To re-enable Strongbox just reverse the renaming procedure. If your host broke Strongbox during the move that's almost always because they failed to preserve the file permissions (chmod) and ownership (chown). If they simply copied the files over without using any method to preserve these important attributes they probably broke a lot of your scripts, including your processor's script, so there's a good chance that new people are unable to sing up to your site and that old expiring subscriptions aren't being removed properly. If possible have your host copy the site over again properly, probably using "tar" to preserve permissions and ownership. Here's a page with step by step instructions on how to move a site without breaking PHP and CGI scripts: http://bettercgi.com/strongbox/manual/move_server.html VictoriaXXX, you said you had some kind of trouble with my forum. What was the problem, exactly, please? It does seem to be generally working OK since other people have been posting. |

I've also emailed you regarding what needs to be done to get your site working on the new server like it was on the old. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. |
