My suggestion follows Bill's. Contact your hosting provider. If you can't contact your hosting provider and/or get them to help you, it's time for a new hosting provider. I've had good experience with LunarPages.com. Asking the FreeBSD community for support for something like this is like calling Microsoft because your Netscape web browser doesn't work. Now, if you want to host your site at home on your own FreeBSD box....

However, FreeBSD is simply the software used by your provider, and is almost surely not associated with your hosting provider in any way other than the fact that your hosting provider uses FreeBSD. As a result, it's unlikely that anyone in the FreeBSD community will be of much help to you. I would suggest contacting your hosting provider's tech support directly for assistance in this matter. If I am wrong, and your problem _is_ with FreeBSD, can you please provide more details about what you are trying to do, such as the exact commands you are entering and the results you see. --=20 Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
