Tips to Creating a Forum - without FTP/MySQL.. please help!

I need to create a forum for my coworkers on our company website that I created a bit ago. The problem, however, is that I don't have direct access to our server - I can only access it locally from "my network connections" as a folder, and drop files into it. I'd imagine I can create a forum manually this way, then drop whatever is needed into the server folder (database, etc.?), but I have no idea where to start...
I tried simplescripts.com first, and tried to add PhPBB to my site, but it requires ftp info, which I don't have and I.T. won't give. I also can't install new software to the work comp (again, compliments of I.T.) but I do use my own laptop at work, too - so if something needs to be installed just to create the forum I can do that, but not to run the forum..
please help! Trying to work around FTP, which I don't really understand anyway, is very frustrating! Thanks in advance!!
I have 2 ideas that may work, but can anyone verify? I have another website hosted by bluehost, which uses simplescripts. Can I just create a forum for that site, and then manually transfer the files from that server to this one?
-or-
Can I create a forum on an external site, and just link to it? That seems easiest, but not ideal..

>The problem, however, is that I don't have direct access to our server
Then you can't do it.
A forum requires a database to store the data, plus some form of server side scripting. To host this yourself you will need a web server, database server and application server. You can't simply copy files to a file server if that is what you are asking.
> I'd imagine I can create a forum manually this way,
>then drop whatever is needed into the server folder (database, etc.?), but
No, this will not work.
>Trying to work around FTP, which I don't really
>understand anyway, is very frustrating! Thanks
>in advance!!
FTP is simply a protocol that you can use to transfer files. It has nothing to do with your problem. Your problem appears to be that you do not have a web server to run your forum on.

Unless you find a web server in house you can use, that is your only option.

    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • How to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

    how to create authorisation object for save button please help in abap

    Hi
    In general different users will be given different authorizations based on their role in the orgn.
    We create ROLES and assign the Authorization and TCODES for that role, so only that user can have access to those T Codes.
    USe SUIM and SU21 T codes for this.
    Much of the data in an R/3 system has to be protected so that unauthorized users cannot access it. Therefore the appropriate authorization is required before a user can carry out certain actions in the system. When you log on to the R/3 system, the system checks in the user master record to see which transactions you are authorized to use. An authorization check is implemented for every sensitive transaction.
    If you wish to protect a transaction that you have programmed yourself, then you must implement an authorization check.
    This means you have to allocate an authorization object in the definition of the transaction.
    For example:
    program an AUTHORITY-CHECK.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <authorization object>
    ID <authority field 1> FIELD <field value 1>.
    ID <authority field 2> FIELD <field value 2>.
    ID <authority-field n> FIELD <field value n>.
    The OBJECT parameter specifies the authorization object.
    The ID parameter specifies an authorization field (in the authorization object).
    The FIELD parameter specifies a value for the authorization field.
    The authorization object and its fields have to be suitable for the transaction. In most cases you will be able to use the existing authorization objects to protect your data. But new developments may require that you define new authorization objects and fields.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/67167f439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
    To ensure that a user has the appropriate authorizations when he or she performs an action, users are subject to authorization checks.
    Authorization : An authorization enables you to perform a particular activity in the SAP System, based on a set of authorization object field values.
    You program the authorization check using the ABAP statement AUTHORITY-CHECK.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'
    ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE E...
    ENDIF.
    'S_TRVL_BKS' is a auth. object
    ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02' in place 2 you can put 1,2, 3 for change create or display.
    The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.
    This Authorization concept is somewhat linked with BASIS people.
    As a developer you may not have access to access to SU21 Transaction where you have to define, authorizations, Objects and for nthat object you assign fields and values. Another Tcode is PFCG where you can assign these authrization objects and TCodes for a  profile and that profile in turn attached to a particular user.
    Take the help of the basis Guy and create and use.

  • Error in creating a process using runtime class - please help

    Hi,
    I am experimenting with the following piece of code. I tried to run it in one windows machine and it works fine. But i tried to run it in a different windows machine i get error in creating a process. The error is attached below the code. I don't understand why i couldn't create a process with the 'exec' command in the second machine. Can anyone please help?
    CODE:
    import java.io.*;
    class test{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
         Process p = null;
         p= r.exec("dir");
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
         System.out.println(br.readLine());
    catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

    thanks,
    Divya

    As much as I understand from the readings in the forums, Runtime.exec can only run commands that are in files, not native commands.
    Hmm how do I explain that again?
    Here:
    Assuming a command is an executable program
    Under the Windows operating system, many new programmers stumble upon Runtime.exec() when trying to use it for nonexecutable commands like dir and copy. Subsequently, they run into Runtime.exec()'s third pitfall. Listing 4.4 demonstrates exactly that:
    Listing 4.4 BadExecWinDir.java
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class BadExecWinDir
    public static void main(String args[])
    try
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec("dir");
    InputStream stdin = proc.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    System.out.println("<OUTPUT>");
    while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
    System.out.println(line);
    System.out.println("</OUTPUT>");
    int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
    System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
    } catch (Throwable t)
    t.printStackTrace();
    A run of BadExecWinDir produces:
    E:\classes\com\javaworld\jpitfalls\article2>java BadExecWinDir
    java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: dir error=2
    at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Unknown Source)

    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    at BadExecWinDir.main(BadExecWinDir.java:12)
    As stated earlier, the error value of 2 means "file not found," which, in this case, means that the executable named dir.exe could not be found. That's because the directory command is part of the Windows command interpreter and not a separate executable. To run the Windows command interpreter, execute either command.com or cmd.exe, depending on the Windows operating system you use. Listing 4.5 runs a copy of the Windows command interpreter and then executes the user-supplied command (e.g., dir).

  • Cant Able to Create New partition after uninstall Ubuntu, Please help!

    Hello Everyone,
    i installed Ubuntu before but i don't like it, then what i did is, (i had windows 7 dual boot with ubuntu) while running windows 7, i deleted Swap area partition and home partition of Ubuntu, then i saw that partitions are combined which was fine, but when

  • Problem creating ringtones - "song no longer available" - PLEASE HELP!

    I want to create a couple of ringtones from iTunes I downloaded. First I tried making one from a song contained in an album I bought and downloaded about a month or two ago. iTunes wouldn't let me (for whatever reason) so I bought and downloaded a new song. once it was in my "purchased" folder I added it to a songlist and then right-clicked it and selected "Create Ringtone." I was told I needed to go to the "Terms and Conditions" and accept the "ringtones" agreement, which I did. once I clicked "I accept" I was automatically redirected back to the song list that contained the song- there was never any option or utility to continue (after accepting the terms and conditions) on and make a ringtone from the song.
    NOW, when I right-click the song and select "create ringtone" I get a pop-up box that says that "this song can +*no longer*+ be made into a ringtone!" WHAT is the deal? What did I do wrong?
    Can someone tell me, step-by-step how to download a song and create a ringtone from it for my iPhone? Is there a tutorial with screenshots anywhere? Somone PLEASE help me out- I cant afford to keep buying songs just to try and figure this out on my own.
    Thanks.
    Nick
    P.S. On the iTunes webpage it said that songs that can be made into ringtones will have a ringtone icon next to them in my iTunes library; but that's not happening- even with the new song I just downloaded.

    I have a trigger on A, which inserts the DML records into B. (Table A and B structure is the almost the same,
                                       where table B will have one extra column exp_dt)
    NOw Table B can have records with same P_S_C and A_C columns and exp_dt will capture the history.
    for example: from the above sample data, let us take first two records..

    from this..
    Note: 1. Table A and Table C can be joined using A.P_S_C and C.R_C to get the start_date.
    2. PN# comes from table D. It contains numbers for the resp. weeks.
    3. PN#_EFF_DATE is the previous immediate previous date for that record in history table (Table B).
    I wanted the data like..
    ---- this is for the second record in the above..

    PN#_EXP_DATE PN# PN#_EFF_DATE PN#
    5/29/2009 3:54:41 PM     214 ( for this we should query the table C to get the
                        start_date, for this combinatation of P_S_C and A_C in table B
                             where B.P_S_C = C.A_C

    I got the pn#_exp_date from the Table 'D', for the given exp_date from Table B.
    My question is again....
    CASE - 1
    from the given records above, I need to look for exp_date for the given same P_S_C and A_C.
    in this case we can take the example...
    P_S_C     A_C PLACE EXP_DATE
    21698          3217          3     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
    21698          3217          3     5/29/2009 3:54:57 PM
    In this case, the
    pn#_exp_date exp_date     pn#_eff_date eff_date
    214     5/29/2009 3:15:57 PM     < PN# corresponding to the     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
                        eff_date .>
                        <Basically the eff_date is
                        nothing but the exp_date only.
                        we should take the immediate before one.
    In this case, our eff_date is '5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM'.
    but how to get this.
    CASE - 2
    from the above sample data, consider this
    P_S_C     A_C PLACE EXP_DATE
    21698     1716656     4     5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM
    In this case, there is only one record for the P_S_C and A_C combination.
    The expected result :
    pn#_exp_date exp_date               pn#_eff_date eff_date
    214     5/29/2009 3:15:41 PM     < PN# corresponding to the     5/29/2009 3:15:40 PM
                        eff_date .>
                   <Basically the eff_date is
                   nothing but the exp_date only.
                        we should take the immediate before one.
    In this case to get the eff_date, we should query the Table 'C', to get the eff_date, which is START_DT column in this table.
    for this join B.P_S_C and C.R_C.
    Hope I am clear now..
    Thanks in advance.....

  • URGENT help needed in creating external xml video plalist. Please help!

    I was given an assignment to  create and external video playlist using an xml file.  I have never used  flash before, know nothing about encoding and all that was given to the  class in terms of instuctions was a short tutorial that has no  resources for troubleshooting.  We were given everything; the external  playlist file equipped with the video skin, the video list, actionscript  that loads the xml and the xml file.  We were told that all we need to  do is change the names of the videos in the xml file to match the names  of our videos.  I did that.  We were also told we needed to "name  target", but we were not informed on how to do this.  I have tried  everything, visited every tutorial and I cannot figure out how to get  this damn thing to work.  I cannot even get flash to load the xml file.  PLEASE HELP.

    <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "i-8859-1"?>
    <playlist>
    <ADogWithoutABone
    flvurl="ADogWithoutABone.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall First Video" />
    <Highway
    flvurl="Highway.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Second Video" />
    <PsychoBabble
    flvurl="PsychoBabble.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Third Video" />
    <SomethingElse
    flvurl="SomethingElse.flv"
    desc="Hyper Wall Fourth Video" />
    </playlist>
    I tried putting in the entire address of the file location, but it did nothing.
    Here is the actionscript in the flash file:
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlistXML.xml"));
    function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    var playlistXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
    var item:XML;
    for each(item in playlistXML.videoname) {
    trace("item: "+item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString());
    myPlayList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(), data:item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString()});
    //Select the first video
    myPlayList.selectedIndex = 0;
    //And automatically play it
    myPlayScreen.play(myPlayList.selectedItem.data);
    //Add a listener to detect when new video is selected and play it
    function listListener(event:Event) {
    myPlayScreen.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
    myPlayList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
    I  tried placing the full address of the xml file in, along with the file  address of the videos, but again it did nothing.  Everything is located  in the same file, and the videos in a sub file in that file. I tried  taking out the sub file and putting all the videos in the same file, but  it did nothing.  I am sure it's something very simple, but like I said I  have NO experience with this whatsoever. I am SO lost and DESPERATELY  need help. PLEASE someone SAVE MEEEE!
    Thanks

    It might be a crossdomain.xml problem.
    Please make sure that the server hosting the xml allows the domain where the swf is hosted.
    You can start with:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <cross-domain-policy>
        <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
        <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>
