Indexhibit Support

hi i am new to asp.net but have built a web site . i have added a contact / have a question form and hooked it up to my godaddy mail for my domain i want to add a captcha to this page so i dont get spammed to death i found a captcha that works fine untill i put it with the form. the begining form tag requires (for the e-mail) action=gdform.php but the captcha wont work with this in there any ideas?

Indexhibit does not use ASP - you should be asking this in an ASP forum.

Hi,

I did a search within the forum before posting something new on the subject and I found this thread.

I have been trying to go live today, but my root folder cannot read my index.php file. I called my web hosting service and they took a look at the code and explained that there was asp used throughout the index.php script. See below for examples:

For the header: :
For a description for a path: path = '/files/gimgs/';

I've been told that I have to used a dedicated server that supports Windows because of this, but that makes no sense to me considering that I can view my site just fine when it's within the indexhibitv070e folder—but once I take the site contents out to the root, that's when the issue starts. Basically, my site cannot go live with the indexhibitv070e extension which makes for an unnecessarily long url.

Sorry for the long-winded post—just wanted to be thorough :)

Thanks so much.

Sorry.

Just realized that the code will not post on this platform unless I put spaces in between the brackets. See below for excerpts from my php file that include the calls for asp:

< title >< %title% > : < %obj_name% >< /title >

< link rel='stylesheet' href='< %baseurl% >< %basename% >/site/< %obj_theme% >/style.css' type='text/css' / >

First off...I can't even figure out what you are talking about in the beginning. Indexhibit has no ASP code in it.

Secondly, what? You don't need a dedicated server. Get a new host if this is what they really said.

Third, you installed Indexhibit incorrectly - if you reread the instructions. You upload the files from the 'indexhibitv070e' folder. Not, the folder. Just take the files out of the folder so your URL won't be so long.

Hey Vaska,

Just to touch on your points:

First off...I can't even figure out what you are talking about in the beginning. Indexhibit has no ASP code in it.

I spoke with the hosting service and they said that this was asp (with all the percentage signs). I didn't think this was the case considering that it's essentially impossible to combine php and asp together. Plus the site still works.

Secondly, what? You don't need a dedicated server. Get a new host if this is what they really said.

Working on it.

Third, you installed Indexhibit incorrectly - if you reread the instructions. You upload the files from the 'indexhibitv070e' folder. Not, the folder. Just take the files out of the folder so your URL won't be so long.

I know that the url will be shorter if I take everything out of the folder. But my site is dependent on the indexhibitv070e folder in order to even show up. Otherwise I just get a blank page at www.mynameisalicia.com with a strange code at the top.

But like you said, perhaps I just installed this incorrectly. I will review the instructions. Looks like I missed one small thing that culminated into something larger.

Short posts...clear...focused...

Because, you are probably using Dreamweaver and messed up the root index.php when you thought you were editing a template. Don't use DW...find out how to use something like Coda or FTP and a text editor.

Just reupload the root index.php file and I bet things work just fine...then learn how to edit templates...css...etc...

Thank you so much, Vaska.

Great. There are threads around here about text editors...etc...you can do this.

:)
