I need everyone who is using the free webspace here on El Camino Central to use index.html index.htm or index.php files so that when other members click your link in the search pages your site will pop up. As it stands, many of the sites listed are inaccesible due to the lack of indexes. Remember, the free space is for you to share your files with other members!!!
Thanks.
Robert

Curious

How much space is available per account? My Angelfire is almost maxed out. 20 Meg is all I get. I was thinking of splitting it up or just re-hosting it. I have even considered upgrading my existing SBC Yahoo DSL to include hosting.

As much as you need

:D :D :D :-D 8) :lol:

Robert,

I browsed your pages and pictures. You really have a nice truck, not that it is news to you. :D

Out of 42 reserved spaces only six have actual pages or sites. I hoped that I'd see more. Like those stories eveyone has about their trucks but I'll wait until there are some there.

Unforunately, many webspace users either don't have any files uploaded or they don't have index files viewable. I will scan the directories and of those I find who haven't uploaded files, and those who have no indexes I will notify. The purpose of the space is to share photos files and information, if they aren't, then they are taking advantage of us and will be deleted.

In light of my imminent castigation (NOT to be confused with a similar-sounding, far worse punishment...), I went forth to create something.

BUT - it won't let me upload any pics. It works for a little while, then comes back with an error message like:

DSC01133.jpg does not look to be a true .jpg

and declines to upload anything. Yet, these pictures are true .jpgs, which I have uploaded successfully other places.

Any idea why it might be doing this? Is there an individual file size limit or something?

Hmmmm. There is no file size limit set. Try renaming the file and trying again. Let me know.

Microsoft does that. Here is a fix for that. Open up the image in an Editor. "Save as" click on the file you just opened and click "Ok" It will ask if you would like to overwrite tell it yes.
Then upload the file it will work fine. There is a bug in the Editor (Word or Front Page etc.. "Engine") that causes that corruption. It really is fine but that is a story in its self, we'll save it for a time around the campfire and we're "telling ghost stories!" :D.

Sometimes it will work and just not display after.

If you are using an ECC web page to redirect to your web page hosted by another ISP, and are using the "index.html" file to do the redirecting, it does not seem to be properly redirecting.

Seems to be if your "index.html" redirects, when you or someone else goes to something like "http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a72elky", it will not work properly. After changing "index.html" to "index.htm", it works again properly.

Maybe it was just me...

Robert, my web site was made by Ernie and I haven't touched it but it no longer works? Being puter challenged, I don't have a clue how to fix it. I've e-mailed you with no response. I just tried to e-mail Ernie and maybe he'll have a fix? Congrat's on passing the 1,500 milestone!

Stan, I have recieved several emails from members concerning this issue. Instead of responding to everyone individually, I posted a general response on the front page of the site. I am still working on the problem but until I find a solution, there is a short term fix listed on the main site page.

Thanks
Robert

I put up a web site on my ISP last year, had to shut it down as the ex was making it aggravating to maintain. All the pics that I uploaded had to have the names changed to lower case letters in order to work correctly. Found that bit of info in a web designing book from the library. Numbers will work with lower case letters. ie: DST013.jpg needs to be renamed to dst013.jpg in order for it to work properly. I had to go thru and rename all my pics and it worked great. I just set up my web space today and I'm working on text to go with the pics on this site. Will keep you all posted.

Just make sure the references in the HTML match the actual file names. The case you mentioned above will work on a web server running on Windows, but not on a web server running on Linux, since file names in Linux/UNIX are case sensitive.

I feel really bad asking this-
(and yes, I tried the search engine, but all it did was come up with crap)

Where do I get this free web space? I have looked all around the site in a desperate attempt to find some sort of link so I wouldnt have to ask a stupid question and look like a jackass. But hey- here I am, looking like a jackass, SHOCKING.

The link is on the front page just below the weekly featured ride.
Or you could follow this link Here. (http://elcaminocentral.com/cgi-bin/new.cgi)

GAARRGH- I knew it. Right under my nose. Thanks Big Honcho-(how do you spell Honcho?)

Hey Robert-oh grand one, master of the greatest site anywhere!!!

I'm a computer dummy but love the free space-I would love to be able to let everybody see the pics I have there. As it is i just post them one at a time on the forum board-is there a way I can set it up so that all the pics will show on one or two pages and create a link to that/those pages? If it involves actual web design and is too much work, don't worry about it-just curious.

Hi,
I am actually PopTanner's' daughter. My dad and I are trying to get his web page set up. But he has absolutely no web building experience, and I am clueless with html. I used AwOL's designer until we switched to cable. I haven't started messing with html yet. I plan too, and what better way then helping Dad get my grandpa Jack's Elky out there for all to see? I tried the EZWeb thing, and was pretty much lost. I think html would actually be easier for me, as I am familiar with most forms of BBCode...but I would like some help...maybe just a starting off point? Anyone? Thanks.

:cool:

Thanks! That was great! I may use EZ Web to get it started. Just to have something up there. I want to play with the html and make worthy of our Elky. Thanks!

Scrap that. EZ Web is useless. LOL Ok, anyone want to offer their help? Or at least the moderater's can give my dad a break while I lwork the html out? Hope so...thanks!

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/nontechintro/

Cool, I bookmarked the code info. I finally figuered out EZ-Web! So my site is up and running. It has a few bugs (mostly from EZ-Web) and on other computers it desplays differently (So it might look different for you than as I planned) I signed up for a web design course last year as this coming year's elective class at school because I didn't know what to take (they didn't have auto shop :( ) So hopefully as the year progresses I'll learn more code (I'm doing it in HTML now because it's the only way I could have a counter on the site) and make the site beter and better.Here's my new web page! (elcaminocentral.com/users/ss86)

Oh yeah, how do I get rid of the stupid "hey" message box that pops up everytime I click a new page!?

I spent all that time since my last post on the HTML site. It's GREAT! :-D Thanks for posting the link Rob!

Why can't I access my personal site?

I get this message, though all my links to the pictures on the page still work?

Mike, because of server abuse and hackers I had to disble directory listing. Your stuff is still there, but you will have to create an index page or similar. All I see that you have there are images, ie.:
http://elcaminocentral.com/users/mike72ss454/DSC00886.jpg

Okay thanks Robert...

and seeing your announcement on the other thread, I stand guilty of doing some of the picture hosting. I only do a few so I always figured it wouldn't be too bad, but as you say, when multiplied I can understand the problems and just never really thought of it that way. :stupid:

I apologize, and will 'clean' it up and properly use it from now on... :thumbsup:

of course, that means I have to actually take pictures of my car, and that means fixing it...and well you understand :P

Here's what I'm getting:

Used to be automatic approval until a few knuckleheads ruined it for everyone. Spammers, site abusers etc.

I now manually approve all accounts, mainly to check if they are real ecc/necoa members.

I noticed your two signups today, but are you aware you already have a free space account? Maybe something wrong, errors logging in? Let me know, I will fix.

Oops, my bad....you do not have an existing account. Will approve your asucamino account pronto.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the ASUCamino account went through, so that's why I tried a second time.

So can I assume this is not working? I have tried several times always with the same result. Am I doing something wrong?

"Fatal Error

Something that wasn't supposed to happen did.
We have been notified of the error and will make corrections so
it will not happen again.

Sorry for any problems this may have caused.
