will it boot out of the docking station ? look at the log file and see if there was a corrupted driver. you may need to reinstall the serial driver. or Comm driver

Yup boots out of the dockin station. Never had a problem before Combi-brick

I saw how it's done. And the way you do it now makes it easy for the spammers to put you on their list and get through to your inbox.

Something like this:


will *help* cut down on the number of spam emails you receive. you can also change your email address that those emails are sent to whenever you want.

Just a suggestion...

Problem is it's going to the original scott@ email. While I've taken it off the site it still means there are tons of sites I order from with this email addy and also it's on my cards etc too. So it's got to continue til I at least change my cards to remove it.

I have a vpn so i'm on my own. Their spam stuff was extra $10 a month and useless. I dumped it after one month. waste of money.

You are on a VPS you mean, right?

Still running on a Windows server, eh? A properly configured Linux box would reduce some of your exposure that you are suffering as Linux based boxes in your price range typically have much better baseline protection than Windows boxes do.

Scott, you need a digital makeover. A "Geek eye for the N00b Guy" episode in the making. A tech plan that will take you from your constant blowing up now, to a reduced incident environment.

Move Win to Linux in your carts and servers, change emails and R.I.P. the old one with no forwarding (this means running both concurrently with no linking while actively retiring the old one of the course of a year), and deep six the Frankenstein home / Office computers. How many hours a year do you waste / lose due to tech errors?

Not trying to be a plick, just saying "All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again." Until you break the cycle that is (channeling inner geek) .

At least; me, Striperman, Skippy, and Likwid have had a hand in that mix at one point or another and have probably all spoken along the same lines. Again, just trying to nudge you in the right direction.

not sure he's Nudgeble

yea I don't disagree John. Just wish the funds allowed it right now... One income on plugs sucks for what goes into it. The house computer is going to have to be done this spring and I'll let you know before I do anything so you can throw some input.

vps yea that's what I meant to say

john who makes a linux shopping cart. I can always keep using fp to ftp up to the site but the cart is the big thing. Got to be something I can cut n paste in fp like what cart32 is now... otherwise it gets so geeky nerd my eyes glaze over like I smoked a pound of columbian gold

[JohnnyD]

Scott, you should look at switching to an online content management system. Much easier to deal with, significantly easier to manage, no more FrontPage (which I hate) and no more copy/pasting then uploading code just to find out it's all screwed up. As an added benefit, it may make your website easier to navigate for the customer and increase conversions, while also improving how Google ranks your pages.

It's definitely a bit of an undertaking. I could go on for hours about how to best optimize a website to increase conversions... but it all depends on your goals.

What he said ^

What you are doing now is trying to find an oddball cart system to work with an even more oddball web editor (Frontpage) that most people hate. This is causing you to jump through some gawdawful hoops and suffer some oddball tech issues (VPS Windows Server ).

I don't have an answer for you specifically as what I might do might not be best for you. But you should have a discussion with Pros or investigate from a clean slate.

There are plenty of packages out there that run well, reasonable costs, and are reliable. Miva, Zencart, just two quick examples. You would be well served to find a company that specializes in hosting these systems that can walk you through a bit of it.

[UserRemoved1]

All of which is going to cost so much as to make it prohibitive and you wonder why I'm still where I am doing donuts and tripping over the bar. It would involve shutting the whole thing down for an extended period of time. I'd be eating more peanut butters n jellies by weeks end. square one here we come

You can build the entire website on a sub-domain before changing it all over to your main page. No shutting down, no loss of current sales. Then, when the website is complete, you make a couple small changes with regards to how the domain is setup in the Content Management System and the software does the rest of the work.

I bet it takes you at least an hour if not a couple hours to add new plugs to your website right now... you know how long an online CMS would take? Minutes.

According to a couple sources online, Saltys.co only has 13 pages of content. You could transfer that to a new CMS in a day or two. I also just noticed that there is a restaurant in Seattle that is Saltys.com. I guarantee you're losing some customers by them typing .com instead of .co.

Are you doing any tracking of your web traffic? That can tell you a lot. For instance, if tracking shows that a lot of people are loading items into their cart and then they start to checkout but you then they quit, some of those lost sales could be saved through testing and making adjustments but you won't know how without tracking.

Like I said before, I could go on for days about this stuff. If you're curious about looking more into it, let me know and I'll dig up some info for you to take a look at.

[UserRemoved1]

I can have a complete new plug page online right now in less than 5 minutes. Except for taking pictures..

I can add or remove plugs in the cart in less than 30 seconds.

saltys.co is not the main search engine site. It's what I've started moving everything towards however. Sometime by the end of the year I hope to have all the advertising changed to this. I like the .co url and think in the future it will be much easier to find as I map everything towards that. If you really want to mistype try stripersonline.co

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com or saltwaterplugs.com should have the majority of the stuff. Probably #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.

Maybe it's time to have a geek convention at the shop

fyi I put joomla on the server a while ago. I know John has messed with that alot before but then he said he was liking other stuff. It changes so fast there's no way I can keep up with it myself I'd need a dedicated it nerd to do all the stuff and keep it current. FP I know like the back of my hand and have had great success with it. As with the cart which I've stuck with for like 13 years now. Problem is now all the nerds don't like windows hosting anymore so it's getting old.

When I looked at joomla all I saw was the glaze like they use on donuts. holy moly.

No need to shut down at all, bring up two sites concurrently and when the new site is ready to go, more or less flip the switch.

Johnny is correct WRT a CMS system (Content Management System) that hooks your cart system. Look at SWE's site using Miva, pretty good job. You can make the changes over a web page, no need to create file in FP (5 times) and FTP up the site 5 times until you like it.

Anyway, not trying to go too much into this online, just saying it might be worth a different approach.

[UserRemoved1]

Google shows 160 pages ~ on #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, I'm not really sure how many there is anymore. It's alot.

[UserRemoved1]

understand John. So whose cms? if not joomla then who? wodpress?

Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, I'd say you should find a forum for people managing small ecommerce sites and read for a bit.

Take a look at true eCommerce solutions. I'd suggest avoiding Wordpress, as it is most susceptible to exploits if not kept up to date While there are ecommerce plugins for Wordpress, it really is just a blogging CMS.

For super easy to manage yourself, I'd suggest taking a look a Shopify — Create Your Online Store
also check out Ecommerce Software & Shopping Cart Software Solutions by BigCommerce
A little bit more complex and you'd need someone to set it up, but locally hosted: Magento - Magento Community Edition - eCommerce Software for Growth

The first two are the most secure and easiest to immediately get up and running.

[UserRemoved1]

The first two are out. Will not use something hosted by someone else. Got to be hosted on my own server. I want control over it so if something needs to be fixed I can get it fixed not be held hostage by another company.. Learned this first hand when I was with ixwebhosting when they refused to give me my files back when the site was inaccessible. Liquidweb has been fantastic in the 13 months I been with them. Their service is well worth the additional (not cheap) funds I pay them every month instead of going with a shared server setup with loads of other traffic on it.

I own my carts outright right now and would prefer to continue that way. Is miva shared or purchased?

[JohnR]

Scott, there are quality hosting companies that specialize in hosting e-commerce. That's what you need. Whether you own it on your server means that you probably have less recourse when a problem comes by.

(And JohnnyD , I would not recommend Scott using those three CMSs to host the e-commerce portion. Probably should have clarified that a little better but I would consider Drupal or Joomla for the balance of the site.)

Glad Liquidweb has worked. I've been with them for 5-6 years now? On my second server and will probably do another next fall.

Ask Liquidweb what their options and support are for E-Commerce tools. You could theoretically go with a small shared hosting account to setup, and when ready roll that into a Linux based VPS - just a thought.

[UserRemoved1]

Already looked, os commerce. Really don't want shared though. That's one of the reasons I went on my own to begin with. I really want stuff kept in-house. If I own it and they don't give me good enough service I have a multitude of people that I can pay to work on it if necessary. If it's shared hosting then they typically take their own time to address the problem...you always hear the same thing, oh nobody else is having this problem...sure...as my site is down and people can't get what they want. It happened before with ixweb. Not saying I'd run into this with LW but if it ever did then I can still call Ryan the guy who moved it all last year and is familiar with how it's setup/whiz at working on it.

I'll take a peek at drupal later.

[UserRemoved1]

Is that installed on the server AND the local computer or just on the server and everything is done via browser?

Don't worry about Drupal. Talk to LW and see what they say regarding commerce stuff. They support that too.

Web browser. This is how most of the world does it now, excepting many larger systems.
