I remember seeing a website that had user reviews of hosting companies

I had seen that site back before we went with the hosting company that
we have now (Hostway), so I want to give it to my friend before he picks

There's definitely something going on between transedge.com and
adelphia.net. We've had the same problem a few months back - all email to
Luray was bouncing back. We contacted both Adelphia.net and Transedge.com
and eventually one of them admitted to filtering all email from the other
domain. Apparently both of these domain are well known to spammers and have
so many (spamming) clients that their automatic filtering systems kicking in
every now and then. Contacting both hostmasters of these two domains should
help in resolving this particular issue.

This can be done - it requires custome coding - but you just need to pass
over to Merchant all the attributes using the specified format.

I'm sorry I can't give you an easier way - maybe someone here could supply
you with some code ideas.

If you need this done with a custome quote, let me know.

What you need is Parent Accounts from Modstop.
<A HREF ="http://www.modstop.com/store.mv?PROD=MIVA-PARENTACNT">http://www.modstop.com/store.mv?PROD=MIVA-PARENTACNT</A>

This recommendation goes with the caution that I don't think anyone has
seen or heard from Modstop in a while. Their payment processing is
still working, and the downloads work, but hopefully, it will install
and run, support seems to be a bit of an issue.

Leslie,

This is something we use internally and you should never see (it's
preprocessed out).

If you can email me directly "off-list" with an example and where
specifically you are seeing it, I'll see what's going on.

It's likely cause by having two forms within the same form tags. Use the

I'd like to restore store files from a backup.

What are my options? Does anyone know of
a tutorial?

I've got the backup in a .tgz, I can extract
only the mivadata and save again as a .tgz.

I'm on a PC--running Win98 or Linux 7.2 (dual boot)
I am nearly completely knowledge-free on Linux, however.
(it's why I need a tutorial)

information is located?

Help with error message



Go into your store admin and click on Categories.

At the bottom of the form, on the right, you'll see a box with the
number 10 in it. Change that to be higher than the number of categories
you have, then click update.

You're list should now show all of your categories. Now click on the
+/- in the blue bar above the first checkbox for the first category.
This will select all the categories shown. Then click Update.

Be sure you want to do this...it cannot be undone. (ok, it can, but it
would require a database edit - IF you havent packed.)

Once you're happy they are all gone, pack the store.
