Well... this is getting off my main point.

Only checking for index.* could possibly leave some out. Checking for index.* or .htaccess would probably catch them all, although it's possible that someone has a file .htaccess that does nothing, so they would slip through, but that is likely to be rare. 

Anyway, back to the point... What I'd like to see is a way to view only the members pages that actually have content. Somehow weeding out the links to sites that have no meaningful content.

It would be cool if the user list pages ( http://services.freepgs.com/list.php ) only showed the accounts that actually had content on them. You could check the subdirectories to see if index.* exists. I was trying to cruise through some of the members pages to see what other people are doing here, but I found tons of accounts with nothing on them, or just some images uploaded.

Another cool thing would be a random user page. Kinda like how those autosurf things work. Load a small frame on the top that tells you the user you are viewing and an option to go to the next page. On the rest of the page, load that user's website.

I am interested in what other sites are hosted here and finding the coolest ones.

okay, well i just created a few new directories for my layouts(linkware)and im trying to link to the images and pages from my root directory into the pages in my new directories.

For example:
one directory is "divs" and the page im trying to create inside of it is called "divlayers.php". Im trying to make it have the same layout as the pages in my root directory have. I use the php include code to include the header and footer(layout codes)codes into the pages but i can't figure out how to link to images and pages in other directories.

like for images ive tried this:
(Example)
("/image.gif")
and
("root/image..gif")
and
("root/divs/image.gif")

and for links:
(Example)
<?php include('root/header.php'); ?>(for the header and footer)
or
<?php include('/header.php'); ?>
or
<a href="root/divs/divlayers.php">۞ Div - Layers</a><br>
or
<a href="/divs/divlayers.php">۞ Div - Layers</a><br>

it never works.....please tell me what im doing wrong and what i can do to fix it.

Hi there.

When you sign into your ftp account, it looks like it is the root ( / ) but actually, it is your own subdirectory (in your case, /fpgs/fpgshttpd/paris/ )  When using PHP, it isn't restricted to just your subdirectory, so, when you say include ("/header.php"); what you really meant to say was include("/fpgs/fpgshttpd/paris/header.php");  Alternatively, you could use the relative ( .. ) to go up a directory.  include ("../header.php");

On the web, since you are using the freepgs.com/paris/ url (right, or do you have a domain?) if you use /, your browser will be looking for a file from the freepgs.com/ directory instead of freepgs.com/paris/  When you use <a href="/divs/divlayers.php"> you are telling your browser freepgs.com/divs/divlayers.php, which is wrong.   Use <a href="/paris/divs/divlayers.php"> instead.

Hope this helps.

Did you set the permissions like the link you posted instructs you to do? It says that you should set permissions of the directory you installed zeroboard to 707. It's probably 755 if just upload it and you don't change it in the file manager.

It is not necessary to make this change on the FreePgs system AFAIK, but it is required for many hosts and on Plesk.

Why? Because on the FreePgs system, the first number of the permission also applies to the HTTP server. On Plesk, however, the third number applies. The instruction is probably there only because a majority of hosts work like Plesk (though I'm not sure).

Ah, interesting.  Yes, on most hosts, the third number applies to the HTTP server.

This might work, but I didn't test it.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[.]*[freepgs.com][.]?$    [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[.]*[yourdollz.net][.]?$    [NC]

etc.

Hi..
I'm trying to install board program, but during the installation process, I got "Table Creation Failed." I'm not really sure what's going on.
I already created DB. I think it should be working, though. I'm not really familiar with php/mySQL. Can anybody help me install this thing?
You can browse to www.freepgs.com/soowoo/bbs-en/install.php.
Much appreciated.
