Yet another update!
Got fluxbox to appear in the Sessions section. But instead of loading fluxbox, it loads Gnome. Intresting fact, Gnome is running much faster. Hmn....

Ok, have a correction:

#!/bin/sh

shoulc be

#!/bin/bash

and

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

should be

/usr/X11R6/bin

Now, when I try to run the file in terminal, i get this

[root@Winux bin]# ./fluxbox
Failed to read: session.tabs
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.slitlistFile
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.groupFile
Setting default value
fluxbox.cc: Loading groups ()
Failed to load groupfile:
BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server.
  another window manager is already running on display :0.0.
Blackbox::Blackbox: no managable screens found, aborting
Fluxbox: Unknown error.

So, yeah...

So, you want each user to have their own album? Or should users be able to post "albums/images" the same way as "forums / topics" works within the forum?

The ability to post "albums/images". I was hoping someone needed a project wink

I'm running RH9, and I am trying to install Fluxbox. Well, I guess "install" isn't the right word. I compiled the source into an rpm, and then installed the rpm. Now, following the faq on fluxbox's site, I created a fluxbox file in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. The file contained this:

  #!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/fluxbox
#
# global fluxbox session file -- used by gdm

exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

Now, if I'm thinking corectly, I should be able to see the option of starting into fluxbox from the logon screen under the Sessions menu. However, this is not true. All I see is Default, Failsafe, GNOME, KDE. I can't understand what I am doing wrong.
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ is the site. Please help, I'm tired of GNOME, and KDE is a graphical bitch.

The code in the GNOME file is such

#!/bin/bash

exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome

Well, I have tried that, but I am really clueless on this subject, I'm only a minow in the world of PHP.  I was hoping someone with greater knowledge of the subject would either make it (highly unlikely), or guide me through it.

Not sure if anyone has tried to do this, or even mentioned this before, but here goes: I was making a site for the extended family, so that all the relatives would be able to contact each other and that sort of crap. I had the idea of having an online photo album where people could upload images, and everyone else was able to see them. The couple of php and mysql photo albums I tried, I didn't like. I wanted something done to punbb to make it work like that. Here's what I can think of so far: Uploaded Images need their own directrory and maybe table (and/or another sql db). Maybe a modification to the Attachment mod could do what I want to? I know this whole idea sounds impossible, but I guess I'll give it a try.

Don't ask for the site because its not up yet, still wotking on the apache on the linux box.

Ah, thanks a lot.

Well, It works perfectly now. All that I did was get rid of the code you told me to from the install_mod.php, and then did a little browsing in the sql databse and deleted the troublesom poll table. Then reran install_mod.php and everythng worked like a charm. Oh, chacmool, you might want to check your line references in the readme's, some of them are little off (and this is before any editing). Other then that, great mod man!

I was wondering under what algorithem are the passwords encrypted under. Don't worry, I'm not out to steal my Forum Users passwords, just want to see what going on and maybe use a similar algorithem on another password file.

Nevermind, I got it. Deleted the poll table in the sql database. Solved the problem. Thanks.

Deleted those lines of code, now get this error:File: /home/users/zc923/public_html/punbb/install_mod.php
Line: 21

PunBB reported: Unable to add column poll to table topics
Database reported: Duplicate column name 'poll' (Errno: 1060).

Recently installed Pun poll, version 1.1.4_2 on a databse that did not have pun poll installed, at least to my knowledge. When I ran install_mod.php, I get: Duplicate entry 'o_polls' for key 1Unable to insert into table config. Please check your configuration and try again.. When I make a poll, I get this:  Error: Unable to save poll. When I try to access the poll, I get this:  Error: Unable to fetch poll info. When I try to get into the poll admin, i get this:  Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list. As far as I can tell, this is a db problem. Could someone help with the queries that I need to run to correct this problem? it would be greatly appriciated.

Guess this board has many Linux appache users, so I will post my problem. Running Redhat 9 with appache. Need to password protect a whole site, so I make the .htaccess file, as such:

AuthName "yadayada"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd

Require valid-user

Made a user name and encrypted pword in .htpasswd. Now, when I try accessing the site, it lets me in with out a username and password prompt. Even checked from a different connection on another computer, still the same. I also changed the AllowOverride from None to All in the http.conf.

This is starting to get annoying. Any and all help is appriciated.

If you must get a free host, then go with some one who requires you to write a paragraph on what you sites about. That way, they have less spaming users who sign up for 20 acounts, and never use them, and more space and services for the reall users.

And here is a link to how to thwart Free Web Server pop-ups. (Hope I don't get into trouble by posting this!) http://www.cexx.org/diepop.htm

Why not get rid of Windoze completly and install SuSe Linux or Free BSD. Or if you want, you can partition the hard drive and have windows and linux installed. I mean do this if all else fails.

Read up on what other people have done.
Personaly, I would go for the linux solution

Dude, have you played cricket? It requires more skill and concentraton then other sports. Balls commin in at over 90 mph, a 4 inch peice of wood between you and the target, and catching a 5 oz ball with bare hands. Accuracy? I think i answered it.

Well, my family is from Pakistan, so Cricket is huge over there.
And Pakistan don't suck at it.

I'm running punbb on a free host with limited webspace. The faster and lighter the forum is, the less bandwith is used per page load. If I make my site graphics heavy, well I'll just say my host won't be happy. I have edited my style sheets, but I have spent time doing so.
In essence, everything can be done in 2 minutes. The quality of the outcome depends on the ability of the artist or modifier.
