Hello..im new here..Im about to design web page for intranet(LAN webpage) at my university. Well my problem here is, I wan to have a shoutbox at my web page but all the shoutbox i get/search is must using internet. It mean the shoutbox database is at other website and in order my shoutbox to function, they must have internet activity. My university got very limited internet connection and only open certain time. So here I wanna ask you all to help me give the shoutbox for my web page that it doesn't need to use internet connection. A shoutbox can stand without using internet connection.

Sory for my bad english. I can explain in Malay if someone doesn't understand me. Help me YA! tenkiu!!

i believe u are hosting the page on ur own PC over the intranet right? as long as u have database system install in ur pc then u can build a shoutbox

here's a tutorial which i wrote to build a simple shoutbox.

yes you right..ok i will try your guide..perhaps would you mind if I pm you my email for personal help over yahoo messenger?

Tenkiu very much!

no one gonna help you on email / messenger.
they had their own life.

why dont just you ask and learn here?

1 - setup local server. with apache / php / mysql ability.
2 - all pc can browse the server cpu via ip or... name server http;//shoutoutsomething (example) using browsers.
3 - make database and install free shout script.
done.

oh okay if you say like that..well..sory cos im new here..my lecturer recommend this site to look for help if we having some problem with website..actually..my web page is totally build by html(frontpage 2003) and will use XAMPP as the server. So im having trouble with yipguseng guide..i dun have some sql file as mention in that guide..how i can get it? and can it work with html code?

is actually ur own interest of work right? not for project right?

then i suggest u go download easyphp, everything is one time setup, php, mysql and phpmyadmin(this is to manage the database)

google for that word

Hehe..actually im using this for 2 purpose. 1 fore downloading center at my University( example: movie,game and many more) and 1 more to send at lecturer as Assignment.Btw, i don't have enough knowledge in MYsql or Php..i just quite knowledgeable in html(just learning it further)..hehhe..tenkiu in replying..I go see more..tenkiu ya!

if you only know html. .that was hard task for you.
you must do more learning process, let say triple up it.
study the php as fast as you can. At least, "how to install the script" and using localhost server (ie wamp / easyphp).

html is static and lack of interactive,
php is programing. but need html to display the page on your browser.
THIS BASIC THING MUST BE UNDERSTAND FIRST! ( html , php, mysql, localhost etc).

Else.. it's just your another waste time dream.... understood?

mysticmind just stuff some money inside ur pocket

i use to build up a site in my university intranet last time. For the sake of learning as well as interest. Seriously u can learn a lot of things when u get ur hands dirty on it.

HTML really is just basic things, the core lies in PHP/MYSQL. and one more advice to u, try not to use microsoft tools for designing webpages. It's evil!

ko godek2 sket bab phpmyadmin ngan mysql
..pastu beli buku PHP for dummy
hak hak hak.. no.. joke only..
tapi kena cari kod2 utk php.. senang jer.
Klu ko nak beli buku yg aku pakai boleh gak "php & mysql webdeveloping" ..aku jual RM100... beli dulu RM142.. lenin wat menyemak meja aku jer..

As I know, as long as you're using php supported webserver, it should be working. If there's database error, mean you have missed to change the configuration from sample's ip to your personal ip. That's why it's telling you that u're failed to connect ur database with your shoutbox. Usually, if u take it from example, u can check the configuration at config.inc.php or something name config...change your personal username and password, and remember..change the dir. of your database location, usually shoutbox is save their database into notepad (e.g. shout.txt) to work as their database in stead of using complex 1 (mysql database).

This is the only way I can tell as I'm not so sure where's da real error there.

Another clue, if the shoutbox that you're using is using mysql database to record all the messages. then probably u have missed out the step to change the database connect with ur php shoutbox. it known as mysql_connect..hard to explain it all..but if u see any .db files, then i suggest you to change a simple shoutbox (search in website) as you're now totally blank with programming..


Good Luck,

where r u studying?

Im studying at Uniten( University Tenaga Nasional )..recently, I discover that html coding limit the download speed and connection speed..that mean I need to change to NetworkActiv or Http File Server..yet they told me the shoutbox should be work in that option..

LoL, then you're my junior..and I expected you're from uniten as well, that's why I asked you. It's because I saw all the stuff webserver softwares, intranet usage and everything that u use is all shared and used by uniten students who use create own webserver website. then definately, that's for your own interest, lecturer never ask for this type of project. Maybe does, but not now cause should be holidays now? haha..

actually as your problem now is shoutbox, it's actually not related with the http file server, limit and speed. It's just some configuration problem in the shoutbox itself..If you set it right, no matter wat type of webserver you used, abyss, xampp, easyphp, networkactive..all are useable. But at your level now, I suggest u use networkactive as it's easiest but it definately work well, guess u know this as well from the aibob forum..

actually as other webmaster said, they're actually helpless in your case, that's because most of them manage to create their own application e.g. shoutbox instead of using other ppl's, so they might helpless to u as they never use what we usually use in uniten.
