ssh login - how to use my .bashrc by default

talz13 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:30:30 -0800

When I log in to ssh, I am greeted with the [minsk]$ prompt like normal. I have updated my .bashrc file with some aliases and preferred display type (user@minsk:~/...$), but I must source .bashrc before it will load my settings. How can I have my settings loaded by default on login?

ssh - upload from dreamhost to flickr?

talz13 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:28:20 -0800

Is there any way that I can upload to flickr on the command line directly from my dreamhost SSH login? Or any other way, really... I regularly backup my photos to my dreamhost account for a web-available copy, but want to get them over to flickr as well without re-uploading gigs of data over my slow connection again.

accessing site through dreamhost.com URL

Okay, complete newbie question here. We just signed up for dreamhost and will _eventually_ update the DNS record so that http://sdcsb.org points here. But until then, how do I access my dreamhost account? I've tried http://dreamhost.com/~sdcsb, http://dreamhost.com/sdcsb, http://kinshasa.dreamhost.com/sdcsb, etc. No luck... Help please?

How to upload Wordpress site?

stanwelks — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:57:55 -0800

I am using a trial account of what seems to be an amazing program for people who have no idea how to design their own Word Press sites (me) and I just made a Word Press theme and I want to upload it to check it on the server. I have an entire folder of files that was exported from the program. Do I just FTP the entire folder over? I have worked with FTP and flat HTML files before but never Wordpress. Thanks!

Location to upload videos?

stanwelks — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:18:04 -0800

I want to embed a bunch of either h.264 or .FLV files on my future WP site. Should I just create a directory in my root called videos or something like that to place the videos inside of, just as you would do with images, or is there another way to do this?

Thanks.

Installing plugins in Easy Mode?

stanwelks — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:55:54 -0800

Post Reply?

I want to build a WordPress site using some plugins I have found on the web.

Just for clarification:

1. If I choose Easy Mode, can I install these, or only the ones already provided?
2. Which plugins are already provided through Easy Mode?
3. Can I switch from Easy Mode to Advanced or the other way around once I make my decision?

Thanks!

I created the how I want my WordPress pages to look in Photoshop and now want to make a WordPRess site out of it though I have no experience with using it.

1. What is the next step? Do I just slice it up and somehow import it into a WP page?

Thanks.

Hosting without dns change

Hi everybody,

I have a new client for website hosting but he wants to keep his email hosted with his old provider. What should I ask this provider so we don't disrupt my client's emails and just host the website domain in dreamhost?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

I'm trying to set up email on a site I have used only for WordPress so far. Using Dreamweaver to send a required html file to the account but cannot get DW to connect successfully via ftp. I have tried this ftp host name: http://ftp.your-logo-on-it.com , trying both my DH user/password and the combo I use for WP uploads. What am I doing wrong?

Hosting 2nd site with domain registered elsewhere

GaryJones — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:35:35 -0800

Post Reply?

I have a *.com domain registered here with DreamHost, and the associated website is hosted here.

I am setting up a small business and have registered a *.co.uk domain elsewhere. (I have had no problems with DreamHost, but I still feel more comfortable separating my company's domain registration from the hosting provider.)

Can I host the *.co.uk site here on DreamHost as part of my existing hosting account, but without transferring the domain registration?

Thanks.

birdfeeder cam

Ok, I have my birdwatch cam all set up and working, and the bird feeder is in place*.

All I need now is an idiot proof program to stream live views to a page on my website.

I've played about with a few, but no success as of yet, can anyone help out by pointing me in the right direction of a suitable program or advice please?

*After spending weeks, and much pain, working out how I could send images from the far end of the garden to my computer room, finally settling on buying a wireless webcam at great expense and doing all sorts of complex stuff to get it rigged, my 14 yr old daugher suggests; "Wouldn't it be easier just to move the birdfeeder thirty foot closer to the house?"

I never thought of that!
