Just to make you aware, once you get an exploit like this you should treat the whole machine as compromised until proved otherwise. We recently had an old Joomla site hacked and once in they tried to run a load of root kits against the server, fortunatly our apache is well setup to they failed. I assume you either had a weak password or more likely as mentioned above were using a version of Joomla which had known exploits. Cheers Jona

There are some interesting things you can do with PICs (PICAXE) I built a maths education toy for my GCSE using a picaxe chip. Jona

Ask kesomir mentioned, I've also had problems getting them to cancel acocunts / domains so be sure you mgiht want to stay with them more than one year or remember to start the leaving process in plenty of time... Jona

still a good deal though

Moodle isn't really a CMS more of a VLE, joomla is a good CMS but probably overkill for what you want.... There is also drupal but the same probably applies. Maybe you could use wordpress or something of that nature. Jona

It must be something to do with your images / css / php processing something that happens the first time you load because the first time it's very slow after that it's fine. You apparently have 3 broken images Which probably isn't helping. There is a report of this problem and some potential fixes here: Joomla! • View topic - Slow loading Joomla 1.5 site also here: Joomla! • View topic - Long iniital load times for Joomla site

What SYNACK said, but in my experience this kind of error is usually pretty fatal and is going to need a windows re-install. If you arn't getting the option to try and repair windows when you boot from a CD it is worth running chkdsk, fixmbr, fixboot, etc and then trying again. Jona

Possible, just worth checking it's slightly confusing because the two pages look very similar but you've moved systems! A better page to see the moodle'ness is here: http://moodle.jonahosting.com/moodle/course/view.php?id=4 (click login as guest if asked). It's looking awesome. One thing I would suggest for the future is making another theme without so much orange as it's a bit in-your-face! Cheers Jona

Looks good Dan, the links News, Parents, etc actually go to Joomla.... I don't think this is what you intended? Cheers Jona

Sent you a PM, hopefully edugeek will be able to host it eventually but I've set you up some space to get you started.

Could edugeek possible host it as it does for joomla? If not I can probably offer hosting so long as it doesn't kane bandwidth.

Might explain the OPs connection problem. Some discussion of VMware with 2k8 here: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/132629;jsessionid=BF8755BA422CE20E16F66A0946E5F419?tstart=15

When I last did a clean install of VMware server I specified localhost and no username / password and it seemed to work.... Did you set a password on install? Jona

The "host" to connect to is localhost, It's designed as a client->server setup. Connect to localhost which will connect you to the host vmware server where you can create new "virtualmachines".... Clear as mud! Jona

The thing is unless people keep everything in their electronic diaries some of the problems outlined in the OP still exist regarding rescheduling. For example if I have a dentist appointment immediately after school I might not enter it into my public diary so someone could assume that I'm free them and schedule a meeting based on this which we then have to untangle! Cheers Jona

Seems like there's a fairly low level connection issue here. There is a thread here on the error which might be helpful: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=71186 The error seems to be a bind problem so that would suggest your distinguishing name or password is wrong....? Cheers Jona

Ok to add the chaos, below is what I use for my phpmyadmin config.inc.php file. It will prompt you to login and you should use the same credentials that you use at the mysql command prompt. I recommend you backup your config first Cheers Jonas $i = 0; /* * First server */ $i++; /* Authentication type */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; /* Server parameters */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false; /* Select mysqli if your server has it */ $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';

If your thinking of user's uploading big files you'll want to provide some form of a progress bar so the user knows something is happening. I've used uber-uploader Uber-Uploader - Free File Upload Progress Bar but it's perl based so ymmv....

You can use $_FILES["userfile"]["types"] to get the file type. See this example on w3c: PHP File Upload The cropping part should just be string manipulation, you might be able to do it just using strstr PHP: strstr - Manual something like strstr($outputfilename,".",TRUE) Hope that helps Cheers Jona

If your allowing the user of if statements this is defiantly possible, I think it's possible by putting it in the main() declaration as well, although I'm not sure if either will result in ANSI valid C.... I reckon: #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { if (printf("Hello Edugeek\n")) {} } Should work.....?

Are you using the --all-databases when exporting? If you aren't then you need to have a database selected before you try and import it, you could create a new test database for this purpose. When I do an import I ignore phpmyadmin and just do it directly from the command line using something like: mysql -h loclahost -P 3306 -u root --password=rootpassword testdb < c:\database\database.sql Guide here: How to Back Up and Restore a MySQL Database Cheers Jona

No worries, according to mysql you should be able to use mysqldump --all-databases. See: MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 4.5.4 mysqldump — A Database Backup Program Cheers Jona
