Hi, about a week ago or so, I installed Xampp, which was running without any problems, but when I tried to install Zend (I'm using Ubuntu 9.10), a second Apache 2 was installed. All of a sudden, I got the index.html of this second Apache--even after I uninstalled it again using Synaptic, Ubuntu's packet manager. I even installed Xampp completely anew, and although I cannot locate an Apache 2 installation other than the one Xampp uses, there seems still another Apache running. This is absolutely mysterious to me, and I'm really clueless now. My question: What can I do to get rid of this 2nd Apache 2, wherever it is located? TIA, Claus P.S.: Xampp has been installed in /opt. I even removed the directory /etc/apache2, to get rid of the httpd.conf there. I cannot find a httpd.conf other than the one in /opt/lampp/etc, but http://localhost/index.html is not the index.html I have put in /htdocs, where the httpd.conf of Xampp points to, but the default Apache 2 index.html ("It works!"). I just found that it is located in /var/www. Problem solved. I didn't edit the httpd.conf of Xampp, but some other httpd.conf. After I corrected this, my index.html displays alright.

Hi, thanks for the info & the link. I'll look into what you've written. Claus

Hi, today I stumbled upon a web site with an imho very cool CSS menu (see attachment). After taking a look at the CSS source, I'm still not sure how the rounded corners are made (there are no graphics; it seems to be just CSS). Inside the CSS code I found the following line: #subMenu a { padding: 3px 10px; color: #666666; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; } Is anybody familiar with the properties '-moz-border-radius' etc.? Using Google gave zero results. TIA, Claus

Hi, thanks to all who responded. I tried to implement some of your suggestions. Is it better now? Claus

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, I cannot use Wamp, since I have Ubuntu Linux installed. Claus

Hi, during the last week, I did a redesign of my my own web site (own domain hopefully coming soon). Alas, the text is in German, but I would like to know what you guys think of the layout/color scheme/general appearance. TIA, Claus

Hi, this week I installed the latest Xampp 1.7.3a locally on my PC. Now, I'm asking myself what measures are necessary to protect my PC from possible attacks. And is this necessary at all? I'm actually glad that I got both Xampp & WordPress running. I have to admit (being a comparable newbie at Apache/PHP/MySQL issues) that I find all those different passwords for Xampp a bit confusing. TIA, Claus

Hi, I have a problem regarding 'background-image' inside an iframe. What I would like to do is, that the background image shall remain "stationary" (read: it should remain where it is when the visitor scrolls down the iframe). Is there any way to achieve this, and if so, how? For an example see this page. I have another background image that matches the one outside the iframe, like here, and I would like this second image not to scroll with the content inside the iframe. TIA, Claus

Hi, I would like to know how much (and on what basis) other members in here charge for maintainance, after the site is basically "ready" and online. I'm located in Germany, so I'm not sure inhowfar the rates differ in the UK, but I'm asking to get a rough idea. TIA, Claus

Hi Mat, many thanks for your reply. I'm actually quite new to PHP, and I already lent ot a huge volume from the library, but I didn't know where to get started. Basically, I do have experience in programming, but I'm new to the syntax & possibilities of PHP. Do you probably know some code example online somewhere that is about this specific task? As I wrote, this script should set the links automatically, and there should be a way to get the script to recognize new content, since this specific part of the website(s) I'm working on is under constant development. Thanks, Claus

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm a web designer based in Germany, and right now I have a specific problem for which I would like to find a solution. Since I'm not sure if this is feasible at all, I'm posting it here: I'm currently working on two nearly identical web sites with one particular page, which lists keywords that link to pages containing a description of the respective keyword. What I would like to do is, to link from each keyword included in any of the descriptive pages to the respective entry. Is there a way to do this automatically (scripting?) I'm hoping that I made myself clear. ;.) Do CMSes support this kind of dynamic linking? (I'm thinking of migrating the two site to run under Typo3.) One example to further illustrate what I mean: If there's a keyword XYZ in the index, I want to link from every entry where this keyword is included to the entry of the keyword itself. TIA, Claus
