To disable any program from automatically starting up, go to Start – Control Panel.

In the Control Panel look for Change Startup Programs under Programs. Click on change startup programs.

This will load up Windows Defender – Software Explorer. The category should be Startup Programs. This will give you a list of all the programs that load when your computer powers on.

In the Windows Defender window, the right column gives you details what any program is about. Select any program on the left to look for details on the right. If there are any programs that you don’t need to startup then simply disable it. You will see a confirmation screen (seen below). Click Yes to continue and that particular will no longer load with your computer.

Whenever I put in a misspelled command or some accidental key strokes such as below it locks up the computer for 30seconds to a minute depending on how long the router is looking for the server.

To turn this feature off you have to turn off domain lookups under the router configuration mode.

Commands:

R0#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R0(config)#no ip domain lookup
R0(config)#^Z
R0#

First thing to do it to link your Word 2007 installation to your own website. To do this fire up Word 2007. Click the MS Office icon and click New.

In the new pop-up dialog box click New Blog Post and click create.

This should have brought up a new window called Register A Blog Account.

Click on Register Now on the window and select your blog provider. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog then select WordPress. The fill out the details as shown below.

After your settings are accepted you will get a confirmation stating registration successful. From that point onwards you are ready to publish posts directly to your blog from MS Word 2007.

There is a separate option if you would like to host your pictures on your own website and domain. In the Picture Options pop up specify the provider as My Own Server. The Upload URL should point to the directory (or folder) where all other images are being stored. You can also specify a different location for uploaded images via Live Writer. Just remember to set up the permissions for anyone to view and access the files under that folder. In case of a WordPress blog the uploaded images are stored in YOUR-WEBSITE/wp-content/uploads/. The source URL is the address of your website where your images would be displayed on. For example: for TechVirgin.com the Upload URL would be http://techvirgin.com/wp-content/uploads/ and the Source URL would be http://techvirgin.com/.

XAMPP Installation

To install XAMPP in Windows head over to the download section and grab the xampp-win32-version-installer.exe file. The installation is very straightforward. Prior to install just make sure your dont have any other conflicting programs using port 80 on your machine. (You most probably don’t.)

If you try to install XAMPP on a Vista machine you will see a warning popup. You can ignore it – I am running XAMPP on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and I have not seen any reduction of functionality.

Proceed to install XAMPP and sit back and relax. The process takes about 5 minutes.

Once the install is completed you will see a XAMPP icon in the taskbar.

Click the icon once to bring up the XAMPP Control Panel. From here you can easily go in to the settings of each individual component and stop or restart MySql, Apache and other services. Make sure that the services are running.

XAMPP Configuration

To configure XAMPP to your liking launch your favorite web browser and point it to localhost or your own machine. XAMPP gives you access to tools like phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, PHP Switch, Mercury Mail and FileZilla FTP .

All the website files are located under the htdocs directory under the default installation path of XAMPP installer. In my case the program installed under C drive and website files are located under C:\xampp\htdocs\. If you install a local copy of WordPress or Joomla or Drupal or anything else then you can create several sites under their own sub-directory.

Create Database & User

Creating a database for MODx to use is the first step. In the cPanel screen scroll down to Databases section and click MySQL Database Wizard.

Follow the prompts to create a new db and user called modx. In the permissions/privileges screen remember to select All Privileges.

Download MODx & Upload

MODx is free to download and use for anyone under the sun. Head over to their website and click download. Download the ZIP file to your computer which you will need to extract to a folder of your choice. I would recommend 7Zip for unzipping files. Once unzipped you need to upload all the files to folder you created on your website. You can create a folder and upload the files using a free program called Filezilla. Once all the files are uploaded go to the next step.

Installation

Now that you have uploaded all the necessary installation files we can begin the install. Point your favorite web browser to the directory where you uploaded the files – such as YOUR_SITE/MODx directory. You will see a webpage similar to the below screenshot. Continue following the prompts and you shoube be all set with your new MODx website.

Log on to phpBB using the administrator account. Once logged in you should see a link to Administration Control Panel at the bottom of the page. It takes you to the administration area which is located under YOUR_phpBB_SITE/adm directory. Once logged in go to the STYLES tab as seen in the screenshot below. Click IMAGE SETS on the left sidebar which will load up a menu driven on the main content area of the page. Identify the theme you are currently using and click EDIT for that theme.

Now you should be on the EDIT IMAGESETS page. In the image selection box select Main Logo and click Select. The image will be loaded below and you can verify that you are about to change the correct image. Now change site_logo.gif to No Image and click submit. Now if you go to your forums and refresh the page you should only see the title and a description like on the forum header instead of the logo.

The first thing you need to do before installing phpBB is to make sure you have all the necessary components. The 2 most important things are PHP and MySQL. As a rule of thumb, if you can install WordPress on your web server then you will not have any problems with phpBB. If you are still unsure consult the official requirements documentation.

Once confirmed, load up Fantastico on your webhosting account. Click phpBB on the left sidebar towards the bottom. This will load specific instructions and links to what phpBB is, how disk space it will need to install and how much is available to you. It will also have a link to the official website for more info on features, docs, latest version and beta software availability.

Click New Installation which will take to to a phpBB installation form.

Fill out all the fields and remember the note down the username and password for the admin account. All future administrative work such as setting permissions or changing themes are done through this account. After that click Install phpBB.

The next screen will ask for confirmation before the installer creates a new database for use by phpBB software. It will also give you the domain and the directory under which the forum will be installed. Check and make sure these settings are correct and click Finish Installation.

The final screen will give you a confirmation that installation was completed successfully and a quick link to the newly created website. You can also have the details of the installation emailed to you (highly recommended) for future reference. After that sit back and enjoy your new forum installation.
