I fail to see how that is relevant? You still need to configure PHP properly - either to use your ISPs mail server or your own. By default php tries to access a local smtp server, or special executable (sendmail), as Greenseed described in his post.

The various WAMP stacks do not tend to include SMTP servers (unless you use IIS, which does, but you're not using that), and there's no way that they would automatically configure without some sort of user input.

It's been less than an hour. It's saturday evening. The number of people who will have seen this in the time you've left it will be tiny. Be patient.

Quote from IamKoyote :

Please can you tell me how to change it?

Either run it within a screen session or use nohup

man screen (i.e. nohup path/to/program &)
man nohup (i.e. start a screen session and start the program normally, disconnecting will just disconnect you from the screen session, which you can reconnect to at a later date)

All powerpoint presentations look naff - if they dont then you need more graphs to make it look crap

That file is included in the libmono-corlib2.0-cil package.

You might be interested in looking at the package contents search engine on packages.debian.org. Same also goes for packages.ubuntu.com

Quote from StableX :

I might be wrong but I think esteemed LFS programmer Becky has been working on something for this for the STCC!

I'll qualify my statement then.

The only details you get when a player joins the track as as follows;

Unless things have changed since I last used InSim, you simply don't get any other information elsewhere. This basically means the only things that you can have any measure of control over are the added mass, intake restriction, driver sex and model and the passengers.

There's no information transmitted over InSim for any other part of the setup, as of this date.

Is it me or is the Sourceforge-Respository that <f-word> slow?

It's not particularly unusual for sf to be dog slow

Do as J@tko says - the developers do not converse publically about what is a private matter between yourself and them.

I once found a suitcase with £2M in it. It wasn't exactly hard though - it was exactly where I'd told the victim's parents to leave it.

That made my day!

Quote from Dazmyster :

Well if they can do this for them default skins made by lfs developers, why cant they do the same thing but for a default setup used by LFS.

Because the skin name is reported over insim, but the setup is not. If the setup isn't reported then there's no easy way to detect it without adding third party programs at the client end.

I suggest you read this post from the sticky at the top of the forum.

Question is, is there another way to get from PHP 4.x + MySQL 4.1.1 + vBulletin 3.5 to PHP 5.x + MySql 5.x + vB 3.7.2 EASILY???

Backup everything. Backup your SQL data using mysqldump
Remove PHP 4, remove MySQL 4.1.1.

Install PHP 5, fresh. Install MySQL 5, fresh. Do not use any config files from older versions.

Restore your backup
Create a user for the forum db using what ever method you prefer.

Install vB 3.7 fresh, pointing it at the db, and restore any custom templates. You will need to edit them for 3.7, as a few things have changed. If I remember correctly it should notice and do an upgrade on the db when you do the install.

If possible move your attachments into the filesystem, just remember to give the web server enough permissions to write there.

ffs will people ever stop dissing cruise servers? iam not a huge cruise junky (i used to be when i was amazed when i got s2) but still just leave it alone

Others are allowed an opinion, regardless of whether or not it matches your own.

Bumping a month old thread just for that wasn't exactly grown breaking either.

If you are going to use code::blocks I recommend using the nightly build rather than the old release. It does mean that its a bit more of a pita to setup (quite frankly no one here should struggle, however), but I do find it's better overall.

As mentioned earlier we are trying to organise Llandow. A few of the guys mentioned they would like to travel to Wales so that is why we are looking into it. Are we wasting our time?

That's only across the bridge for myself, so I could be tempted to drop by at least - all depends on when it is really

It's barely afternoon slacker!

There's no need to if it's something I've written or stickied - please do feel free just to post away

Quote from MaKaKaZo :

PS: I'd like these small apps I'm doing to be linked somewhere in the "My first InSim Application" thread or something like that.

The thread is open, so there's nothing stopping you from posting in it?

Take it up with those who run the server directly, as per http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=5724.

Quote from youngy220 :

how do i report a server

Depends what you mean by "report a server". This is a bit of an issue as servers are run by third parties that are not associated with the developers. Unless there is a serious issue - i.e. racism, severe abuse, etc. then theres not much that can be done, and little-to-nothing if you have no replay.

By all means send the developers an email using the link above, but do bear that in mind.

Without knowing what you need it's difficult who to suggest you contact. If it's a general support issue that we can't sort in the forum, or it's to do with billing, etc. the easiest way to contact the developers is via this web form:
http://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus

Under EU law there is a statutory cooling off period for all purchases - basically where you can take it back if it's bollocks. If I remember correctly its 7 days for an in-person purchase and 14 for an distance selling (i.e. online, catalog, etc.).

If they don't want to accept the return you ask to talk to someone else. Explain politely that it's nothing personal, but at the end of the day you feel that you've been sold something that's obviously not working for you and that you want a refund. Providing the packaging is in a resell-able state, you should be ok.

If it's not then things could get interesting.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Repatching, why? The server is patch Z.

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the barricade was.

The wrecker barricade was never something official, nor were there any tools for it. It was merely a system where admins could post and download replays. Non-admins also had the abiliity to post replays for review.

The barricade fell out of use until a relatively recent exploit, but Sam did not have the time for the up keep. I took over the db, but by the time I had the opportunity to finish the web gui and the automated tools I'd started, the exploit was patched, therefore I didn't finish as there was no requirement.

The main issue is that at the end of the day the work of a few benefits even fewer, until an exploit occurs. Even then the number that actually help out can be counted on one hand.

The wrecker barricade has had a few forms and names over the years - clean racers club and the barricade to name the big ones, but it's never been compulsory and it's never been automated - but it has always been under staffed.

Quite simply it was historically nothing more than a system to distribute replays between partaking admins. The view that I had in mind was somewhat different and provided more facilities, and I suspect this is what you've assumed the barricade was and always has been. This is quite simply not true.

If someone wants to take the db off my hands in the state I received it from SamH then I will dig it out of the backup that I have lying around. I personally have little time for the LFS community over recent months, for a number of reasons (which aren't relevant here and now), and thus little incentive to continue what was once a great LFS institution.

Quote from royk1991 :

plz help

Whilst I know it's possible to create a points based system from the same code as lapper, I personally don't know if it's possible to use lapper with only a modified config (which is what I suspect you want).

I also suspect that many who regularly look at this part of the forum, like myself, haven't really used lapper in any great amount of detail, and thus can't really comment. I know that Gai-Luron occasionally drops by, but not often. Dropping a single, quick question into the lapper thread here might get you an answer quicker.

However, bear in mind that a "points system" is a bit vague and covers a very wide range of things. I know that a lot of stuff is possible with lapper and conjoining scripts, but whether or not that matches what you want to do, is another question.

Also bear in mind that the people who post here are not paid to support you, and if someone knows the answer then they'll respond eventually.

Given the vast number of people who have managed to unlock I very much doubt that it's an issue with the LFS development team - although it is possible.

I assume you're ensuring that you're using your GAME password, not your WEB password in LFS?
