~sprin5 #8
Thanks. Please look over the control panel instructions. Did you get the ip address that I emailed to you? Your site is at http://207.0.38.107 Though soon you'll be able to get to it by http://www.midnightwolf.net
~MarciaH #9
You can now get to it via midnightwolf.net. I just did it about an hour ago.
~sprin5 #10
Cool, it's starting to resolve, wolfie, do you have FrontPage 2000? If yo0u do your site is enabled for it. Did you check out the control panel and stats?
~wolf #11
not yet. have been busy but will do it as soon as i can! thank you sooooooo much!!!
~wolf #12
i got into the control panel and added the frontpage extensions. now what???
~sprin5 #13
You can create ftp accounts, you can set up email accounts, you can view your stats, play with it, do you have Frontpage?
~wolf #14
oh, that's what the ftp thing was for. thought i was already on it. yeah, my frontpage is sitting on the spring server.
~sprin5 #15
Well, create some stuff! Just use whateer and ftp it to the site.
~wolf #16
cool!
~sprin5 #17
You know how to ftp right?
~wolf #18
yup. later!!
~wolf #19
terry, i do the ftp setup thing but i never get listed and i don't know what to use on the ftp page as an address and so on......
~sprin5 #20
Use any name and password you like. I'll go look and see what you've done.
~wolf #21
well, i've been there twice to add myself and after i click "add" no users so up in the box above that.
~sprin5 #22
Hmm, it worked for me. Did you see where I added the account wolf? Type in a username and a password and change the home directory path to /home/midni4/virtual_html And click on add. Hmm, hmmm, hmmm, I 've never had this fail before. I can't figure out what you're doing wolfie.
~wolf #23
for one thing, i wasn't changing the path. what address do i use for ftp?
~wolf #24
ok....i went to administer ftp. the boxes come up, right.....i click user name and password (which i make up) change the address to /home/midni4/virtual_html and click add. nothing changes on my list (the box right above the adding where it has a button to delete). and the ftp address changes back to /home/midni4/ftp. you can't figure it out because you're so used to the program. i'm doing what the buttons tell me to (at first, without changing the address). is there more that i'm supposed to put in there?
~wolf #25
with marcia's help, we figured it out and i got in. now there's an actual page up!
~wolf #26
my userid was already part of the ftp users account.
~sprin5 #27
Alright! The gifs don't work yet though.
~sprin5 #28
Thank you wolfie for not saying it's "under construction'.
~wolf #29
whaddya mean? the gifs were there yesterday!
~MarciaH #30
Me too... (but I can't even see the graphics on our front page...)
~wolf #31
ok, i went into netscape and saw my website without a problem. but at work, the background and the gifs didn't show up. don't get it.
~MarciaH #32
Me too...*sigh*
