  1. I have a few specific questions about the logistics of running a website. I am not sure if this belongs to the "Business" section strictly but since my question are about finances too I assume this is the right place. (The following is purely hypothetical) Assuming I would plan to build a website about frogs. On that site, people could upload pictures of their frogs (or submit them) which then are posted in a blog-like format. Similar to this website: http://cuteoverload.com/. The functions would encompass a news-blog functionality and perhaps the ability for people to register and create an account on the site (not a forum account) on which they can view their submitted photos and the like. Now I have several questions about this scenario: 1. Logistical 1- Assuming the site would have around 100 photos submitted by people per day, what hardware do I have to rent to support that traffic? (storage space) 2- What are the specific differences between renting a webspace and renting a "box"? I assume box means renting a complete dedicated box and the former being a smaller part of a box. 3- What would the average running costs be? Rough estimates for American or Western European hosting. 2. Business 1- Assuming I call my site "frogsite.com", do I own the rights to the name of that site once I grab the domain name or is there extra legal work needed to copyright that name? 2- Assuming I would hire someone to create that site, in what price range would I be in? (Not asking for an exact quote, only trying to approximate in what ballpark it would be in). This assumes average pricing for western europe/USA based companies.
  2. Yes, that fixed it. Thanks a lot!
  3. Sorry if I am a bit lost here, but what file would that be?
  4. Where exactly do I set with what name I access the database? I did a basic install of WAMP and never fiddled with usernames or privileges. As far as I am concerned I basically just fired up WAMP, placed my site into its www folder and pressed preview on my IDE to preview the page. This is my root user as found in the privileges. root localhost No ALL PRIVILEGES Yes
  5. I think that cleared it up, thanks. Anyway, I got to video No. 17 and when previewing the site appears to work but I am getting this error: Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\cmstest\app\core\core.php on line 14 and then at the bottom of the page: Warning: mysqli::close() [mysqli.close]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in C:\wamp\www\cmstest\app\core\core.php on line 37 I assume this error is related to database access and not to the tutorial. Where can I find info to get this issue fixed? I am using WAMP on Windows Vista with admin rights btw.
  6. So in tutorial step 5 I should start with a fresh folder and from scratch? If so, what confuses me is that there do already exist files (for example where you talk about the admin password encyption).
  7. Recently got the CMS tutorial and I am gettting a bit lost after the 5th video. Apparently video 5-14 is an older tutorial which later is combined with the CMS one. What confuses me is that there is no explanation on what files we do start with and what I am supposed to follow from scratch. Also how does one connect the Site to a local server? I installed WAMP and was able to follow the part with modifying the database. But how to hook it to my site? (Dreamweaver specific)
