Noob needs help with hosting multiple sites

Hello I am new to this multi hosting. I have looked on the forum for answers but haven't found any. I am trying to figure out how to host multiple sites. I have my dns working for my default site "example1.com", but need to know if I need to add another dns record for my second site. "example2.com". Also when I point to the new fold that has the second site in it and I assign it port 82 for testing purposes I get an error message saying 403 access forbidden. I need to find out how get permission to view the site for the public. Its in a separate folder on an external hard drive right now for testing purposes. Can any body help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!!!

While what you are telling him is technically functional, it is not correct
I beg to differ, Paul. You are the one that is not correct.
CNAMES have been deprecated as of some years ago
What? huh? really?
Please show me any official document that states this (and not someone who just started a rumor because he didn't understand them). Indeed, the DNS RFC makes no such claim.

I stand very much corrected. CNAMEs are not officially deprecated. Interestingly, your post cites precisely what happens when CNAMES used carelessly. How many transactions are needed to resolve Apple's CNAME chain below? RFC1912 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1912.html) has some recommendations that suggests Apple's own network folks have, like me and perhaps even others here, some learning to do. Is that a 'best practice?'
{quote}> Then make sure you tell Apple since this site depends on the use of CNAMEs:
dig discussions.apple.com
discussions.apple.com. 492 IN CNAME discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net.
discussions.apple.com.edgesuite.net. 4427 IN CNAME a1399.b.akamai.net.
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.82
a1399.b.akamai.net. 2 IN A 128.241.220.72
In fact, it uses TWO CNAMES in a chain. Oh my.{quote}
From RFC1912 (which I'm sure many have now read here), section 2.4 is as follows:
{quote}... having chained records such as CNAMEs pointing to CNAMEs may
make administration issues easier, but is known to tickle bugs in
some resolvers that fail to check loops correctly. As a result some
hosts may not be able to resolve such names.{quote}
{quote}> It is not valid to say "don't use these because they could cause problems'. A records can be just as problematic, as can PTRs. Let's not even talk about MX.{quote}
How, exactly, does is an A record problematic? No chains, no additional lookups, no wasted cycles...
We differ here -- and if we are dealing with a newbie, we don't need to enter into unnecessary complexity UNTIL it is a requirement for their solutions.
{quote}> There are many valid reasons to use CNAMEs in DNS, not least of which is the ease of moving a service if it uses CNAMEs. For example, if you have 10 A records all pointing at the same server and you want to migrate to a different machine you have to locate and update all 10 records. If they used a CNAME to the physical server you could move them all at once using a single change. This is especially important in cross-domain links where you may not control all the origin zone files.
{quote}
You're somewhat reaching here, and it is well beyond the scope of the OP's post or needs (well, until they tell us more about their needs, I suppose). There is nothing difficult about 'finding' and updating the necessary records. The final example you gave is a good one and I'll say THAT is an appropriate use of a CNAME, 'though there are other workarounds for it.
Thanks for keeping me honest.

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.

Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro.

Need help with turning multiple rows into a single row

Hello.
I've come across a situation that is somewhat beyond my knowledge base. I could use a little help with figuring this out.
My situation:
I am attempting to do some reporting from a JIRA database. What I am doing is getting the dates and times for specific step points of a ticket. This is resulting in many rows per ticket. What I need to do is return one row per ticket with a calculation of time between each step. But one issue is that if a ticket is re-opened, I want to ignore all data beyond the first close date. Also, not all tickets are in a closed state. I am attaching code and a sample list of the results. If I am not quite clear, please ask for information and I will attempt to provide more. The database is 10.2.0.4
select jiraissue.id, pkey, reporter, summary

,dbms_lob.substr(changeitem.newstring,15,1) change_type

I am attaching code and a sample list of the results. If I am not quite clear, please ask for information and I will attempt to provide more. Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Simplify the problem as much as possible. For example, if the part you don't know how to do only involves 2 tables, then jsut post a question involving those 2 tables. So you might just post this much data:

23977 Open (607) >> Blocked (249) >> Open (0) >> Testing (0) >> ClosedExplain how you get those results from that data. For example:
"The output contains one row per issueid. The HISTORY coloumn shows the different states that the issue went through, in order by created, starting with the earliest one and continuing up until the first 'Closed' state, if there is one. Take the first row, issueid=21191, for example. It started as 'Open' on July 16, 2008, then, on the same day (that is, 0 days later) changed to 'Testing', and then, on June 8, 2010, (692 days later), it became 'Closed'. That same issue opened again later, on September 2, 2010, but I don't want to see any activity after the first 'Closed'."
The database is 10.2.0.4That's very important. Always post your version, like you did.
Here's one way to get those results from that data:

I hope this answers your question, but I guessed at so many things, I won't be surprised if it doesn't. If that's the case, point out where this is wrong, post what the results should be in those places, and explain how you get those results. Post new data, if necessary.

Noob needs help with site creation -- interactive?

I want to make a site where people can post and/or reply to other posts.
I've used iWeb for a couple years so I'm good with "static" sites but how can I make one where people can post to the site themselves?
For example, I write ::"what is your favorite rum when making a hurricane":: and a list of users/responses follows?
Is that even possible?
I'm using iWeb '09.
Thanks,

Help with hosting multiple versions of the same schema

Hi Allâ¦
I have a problem that I need some help/advice on how to manage it. I have scoured the forums here but only found bits and pieces of what Iâm trying to do.
Basically I have a small application that I am hosting the database for. As each client comes online I need to create a schema for them. I have written the application so that it does not reference the schema name (assumes ownership or public/private schema). If you log in as the owner then everything is fine. However I am at the point now that I would like to start overhauling the security so that I can support and manage the different users logging in. I currently have after update triggers on all tables that sets the user_id/timestamp for auditing issues.
I have a few different scenarios that I need to be able to support as far as clientele.
1)     I host database: 1 client = 1 schema
2)     Client hosts database: 1 client = 1 schema
3)     Client organization hosts database: 1 dept = 1 client = 1 schema (same as 1 except client organization is hosting database). The department are so different (budget, staff, different support contract) that they are different customers but their organization is so big they have large outsourced databases.
4)     There is also the chance that 1 client might allow the same user (single oracle account) access to two versions of the application.
I also have two versions of my software, client/server and an under development distributed/web-based. I need a single solution that works best across both platforms
Anyhow I have been warned that creating private synonyms will become a nightmare once there are lots of users. I also donât want to log in as the schema owner as that too will become very difficult to manage security/rights (especially on a web based system).
I also need a solution that is simple to manage and will fit with the âgenericâ client that hosts their own database.
These are the solutions I see right now:
1)     new instance for each schema â not cost effective and probably not satisfactory for large clients
2)     Re-write all sql statements to use a master stored proc that then dynamically forwards to appropriate schema â sounds gross
3)     Somehow altering my sql statements at runtime to âmodifyâ the schema name dynamically â lot of re-work and difficult to debug
4)     FGAC â sounds perfect but competing clients arenât going to accept that for security/privacy etc no matter how safe I tell them it is.
5)     Using some sort of ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA and tricking the database to thinking someone else is logged in? â this is the one I found in the forums but havenât found much else on. How is this different than just logging in as the owner?
In my perfect world I think I would want to be able to point roles at certain schemas. But Oracle doesnât seem to support that. Then I could have companyOneReadOnly = company1schema + all the read-only privileges.
Anyhow any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
jack

Hi Kim,
May be you can try this and see if this works for you. I am not 100% sure if it will work for you, but worth a try I guess. Create a Test WebDynpro project and try the following steps on this project. If they work out correctly and serve the purpose for you only then try them on your actual Web Dynpro project.
1. Create a test Web Dynpro project say "TestWDProject" with Component say "Comp1" and the default views and windows etc.
Also create some working application our of this component and Windows using the Context.
2. Right click the "Comp1" and select Copy.
3. Right click 'Components" node in the project structure and select "Paste"
4.This step will try to paste the copy of Comp1 as a new Component.
5. You can change the Name and Package of the Component.
6.Similarly you'll get the prompts for views,windows etc.
7.Once you have copied everything, Just check if everything looks good.
8.Now you can create a new Application using this new component and the Component Interface View and Deploy it.
9.Test whether the Application created out of this copy works same as the original component.
You can also try to create another Web Dynpro project and paste the Comp1 in the Components node of that new project and perform the same steps.
Again, try with these Test Projects and see if this serves your purpose before applying the steps on actual projects.

Ajay

Need help with hosted credit card setup?

I am trying to setup Sagepay to connect to the BC website to take hosted credit card payments and have done the following steps, but what am I missing? I've done everything I can see to add/change from BC support site, but surely there must be something else to connect the online shop purchase form to the Sage checkout process to take payments?
I did an online chat with BC support on Friday and they kept going through the checkout using 'COD' and said it worked fine, which of course it did as no payment is taken using COD.
However, when you choose credit card, it just fails, so there must be something missing. It has been open as a support call since Friday with no response from BC, can anyone help me please, there is obviously something I am missing or not doing?
I have set up the IP address and subnet mask as required direct with Sage pay online.
I have set the payment gateway page in BC to Sage Pay and entered the vendor name as requested.
I have customised the checkout 'online shop purchase form' to include choose credit card.
Thanks
lizre

Hi Sidney,
Just an update for you.
I have heard back from Sage Pay support and it was an issue server side with them as you had initially thought. They said my customer had not made their account live and that they had corrected a few other settings their side, but didn't specify what exactly??
However, Sage support have sorted that out now and I tried a transaction BC end and Sage support have confirmed it has all gone through at their end too.
Just as a suggestion, the information is not that straight forward to find if you haven't set one up before. Most of what I found was through many different support articles and watching your online videos. I think that there should be one article that takes you through every stage of gateway setup and the payment form. It would have been a big help for me as it was my first BC Shop.
Thanks for all your help on the processing error and the form issue, it's much appreciated! I wouldn't have got to this stage without your help. So, I am glad it's up and running ok.
Thanks again!

I have a website that was built with VS2005 and would like to convert it to VS2013. A friend of mine built this site but I have no experience with any sort of development. The site also uses a sql database. My goal is to just edit the pictures and text using
VS2013 and to not change any layout or dimensions.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about web site, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:
http://forums.asp.net/
for better solution and support.

Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

Hi All,
Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J

Hi
I don't understand...please let me know...
did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ? Or is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from your original installation ? In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video. MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video. Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary.. most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem. That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding. Whew !

Noob needs help with this code...

Hi,
I found this code in a nice tutorial and I wanna make slight
adjustments to the code.
Unfortunately my Action Script skills are very limited... ;)
This is the code for a 'sliding menue', depending on which
button u pressed it will 'slide' to the appropriate picture.
Here's the code:
var currentPosition:Number = large_pics.pic1._x;
var startFlag:Boolean = false;
menuSlide = function (input:MovieClip) {
if (startFlag == false) {
startFlag = true;
var finalDestination:Number = input._x;
var distanceMoved:Number = 0;
var distanceToMove:Number =
Math.abs(finalDestination-currentPosition);
var finalSpeed:Number = .2;
var currentSpeed:Number = 0;
var dir:Number = 1;
if (currentPosition<=finalDestination) {
dir = -1;
} else if (currentPosition>finalDestination) {
dir = 1;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
currentSpeed =
Math.round((distanceToMove-distanceMoved+1)*finalSpeed);
distanceMoved += currentSpeed;
large_pics._x += dir*currentSpeed;
if (Math.abs(distanceMoved-distanceToMove)<=1) {
large_pics._x =
mask_pics._x-currentPosition+dir*distanceToMove;
currentPosition = input._x;
startFlag = false;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
b1.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic1);
b2.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic2);
b3.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic3);
b4.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic4);
I need to adjust five things in this code...
(1) I want this menue to slide vertically not horizontally.
I changed the 'x' values in the code to 'y' which I thought
would make it move vertically, but it doesn't work...
(2) Is it possible that, whatever the distance is, the
"sliding" time is always 2.2 sec ?
(3) I need to implement code that after the final position is
reached, the timeline jumps to a certain movieclip to a certain
label - depending on what button was pressed of course...
I tried to implement this code for button number two...
b2.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic2);
if (currentPosition = finalDestination) {
this.large_pics.pic2.gotoAndPlay("s1");
--> sliding still works but it doesn't jump to the
appropriate label...
(4) I wanna add 'Next' & 'Previous' buttons to the slide
show - what would be the code in this case scenario ?
My first thought was something like that Flash checks which
'pic' movieclip it is showing right now (pic1, pic2, pic3 etc.) and
depending on what button u pressed u go to the y value of movieclip
'picX + 1' (Next button) or 'picX - 1' (Previous button)...
Is that possible ?
(5) After implementing the Next & Previous buttons I need
to make sure that when it reached the last pic movieclip it will
not go further on the y value - because there is no more pic
movieclip.
Options are to either slide back to movieclip 'pic1' or
simply do nothing any more on the next button...
I know this is probably Kindergarten for you, but I have only
slight ideas how to do this and no code knowledge to back it up...
haha
Thanx a lot for your help in advance !
Always a pleasure to learn from u guys... ;)
Mike

Hi,
I made some progress with the code thanx to the help of
Simon, but there are still 2 things that need to be addressed...
(1) I want the sliding time always to be 2.2 sec...
here's my approach to it - just a theory but it might work:
we need a speed that changes dynamically depending on the
distance we have to travel...
I don't know if that applies for Action Scrip but I recall
from 6th grade, that...
speed = distance / time
--> we got the time (which is always 2.2 sec)
--> we got the disctance
(currentposition-finaldestination)
--> this should automatically change the speed to the
appropriate value
Unfortunately I have no clue how the action script would look
like (like I said my action script skills are very limited)...
(2) Also, one other thing I need that is not implemented yet,
is that when the final destination is reached it jumps to a certain
label inside a certain movieclip - every time different for each
button pressed - something like:
if (currentPosition = finalDestination) {
this.large_pics.pic2.gotoAndPlay("s1");
that statement just doesn't work when I put it right under
the function for each button...
Thanx again for taking the time !!!

I need help with my mobile site using Go daddy

my website will not work properly

/candles.html is the regular URL. But, when you convert your site to 'mobile' using GoDaddy, your site passes through a program GoDaddy has developed before it renders as a mobile view for you. The http://www.akacandlesinc.com/candles.html is then encoded as mobile to http://mobile.akacandlesinc.com/#2897 - All of this functionality works normally. When you click on 'Classic', GoDaddy strips off 'mobile.' and shows you the regular website for that 1 instance. From there, however, a cookie is registered on your mobile that you're viewing from a mobile device. At this point, when you click on 'Candles' link from the 'Regular' site from your phone, it tries to take you back to /candles.html URL on http://mobile.akacandlesinc.com - but that page doesn't exist as it's not a physical file that is present on the webserver.
Either GoDaddy is goofing up the conversion or something else is wrong in the way your site is translated as 'Mobile' by GoDaddy.
If i were you, I wont rely on GoDaddy to do the job for me anyway. They're not designers/ developers. They're a hosting company and are equally bad at that as well - I've had and know many people who've had horrendous experiences with them.
I suggest you spend a bit more time in:
either making a responsive site yourself
or make a mobile specific site and use a device-detection code to send your mobile/ handheld visitors to a specific subdomain

I need help with making multiple measurements

Hello,
   I have photoshop cs6 extended addition and was told photoshop would work for the research application I need but so far I am finding it very difficult to do what I want. Basically, I need to be able to meausre multiple lines (the red ones in the screen shot) of an image precisely, and make sure that the lines I measure are documented so that they are actually visiable (so not just with the ruler tool) on the screen and labeled. Does anyone have any idea how to approach this problem? See image for example. I need the lengths (converted with the 2 micrometer scale at the bottom of the image). When I use the info, it gives me the lengths, but I can't save them, or look them up at a different time. Also, when using the line tool, then doing the "record measurement" it does not give me the length of the line but insted acts like it is a thin rectangle and gives me a height (which does not seem to be the same as if I used the measurement tool and put it next to the line, which is an idea I have, but not as accurate) and a width. Ideas?

Curt,
   I tried what you said but am still confused. First, while I will be viewing a few pictures, I am just concerned with getting the process to work with ONE picture measuring all the lines I need for it before worrying about other pictures. I don't understand what you mean when you say making a scale for each picture of any size. Its not about plotting a scale on the picture (I already have that in the form of the 2 micron line) its a matter of drawing new lines on top of the picture and calculating the lengths of those lines (like the red lines I put in the original screen shot). Do you understand?
After I make the box around the 2 micron scale in the image, then press copy then press paste, nothing seems to happen. So when I Click NEW and it opens a new window (for a completely new workspace) nothing different happens. You meant to click "New" after first going to the top and selecting "file" right?
Since I am having trouble with that step, im not sure I can do the rest.
For step 2, What do you mean by "In background content click the dropdown box and select Transparent."   ALl I see is a layer called background on the right. I can right click on it and set the opacity to 0, but I don't see the term 'transparent' to actually select.
Like for step three, how could I delete the selection I made by dragging to the trash? Once I press on it, it resets.....
Ok not sure whatelse I can ask since I couldn't really do the first step anyways....

Noob needs help with pictures

higuys i dont really know anything about photoshop but what im looking for is a guide to layer 2 pictures over each other..the first picture is of a car and the second is of an alloy wheel,what i want is to be able to move the picture of the alloy onto the picture of the car so i can see what the wheel looks like on the car.any help appreciated

UMM I think he needs to select and cut out just the WHEELS and apply to the
car picture
read the rest of his post
making selections is too much to type
there are many techniques and many tutorials
basically once you got the wheel selected just open car image and drag the
selection over the other picture (or copy/paste)
then use edit>transform to resize or change perspective to fit
if the wheel is the same for front and back
drag wheel layer to the paper icon to dupe it and use move tool to place
over other wheel
save the layered doc as PSD in case you need to edit
and use save as.. or save for web to make a flattened copy

Noob needs help with gradient

I am having troubles duplicating this image. As you can see ( if I link to it correctly) this little green box (there are three across the top "service specials" for example) is lighter in the middle and darker on the top and bottom. I am tryng to make a new one but am struggling as 'gradient' only seems to go from 'dark to light' but not 'dark to light to dark again'
Any help please? And please keep it realy simple or give directions in detail.
my link

When you have the Gradient Tool selected, look at the Options bar at the top of your screen. There's a group of 5 buttons that will produce different types of gradients.
Experiment with those, and experiment with your start and stop points when you click and drag with the gradient tool in your document area.

Noob needs help with dreamweaver- problem encountered

madelinebeth.net
This is the website i am trying to create. It is not
complete, but on Safari it looks fine. When i open it on firefox,
it gets all messed up and i dont know how to change it. It
initially gets messed up on dreamweaver when i add links o
different slices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

> is a bug in firefox that does not render correctly using
tables
Never heard of that. Are you sure?
>yes you can use photoshop, fireworks, etc. thats what
they are for
Could not disagree more. Image apps are for
creating/manipulating images.
Period. The HTML they spew is second-rate at best.

Noob needs help with array manipulation

First off, I'd like to say hello to eveybody!
I'm trying to figure out how to search for a value in an array, delete the first occurence of it, and shift the rest of the array down one. Can anyone point me in the right direction of an algorithm, mabey?
Any help is most appreciated!

first of all, let me comment that for this purpouse, you're better using the ArrayList class.
anyway, you would need to make a temporary array inside a method, and traverse the array in question using a loop. most people use a for loop.
Then, put all the values of the old array into the temporary one, except for the one you dont want.
after the loop, set the old array to equal the temporary array.
