Cannot listen to the console port

aprelium

Firefly,
We understand now what you meant. :-)
Could you please give us some concrete examples of terminology that you've found confusing?

AbyssUnderground

I should make a "Terminology for dummies" section of AbyssUnderground to help people out. :-)
(I didnt mean to insult anyone by saying "for dummies", just like the book "Windows for dummies" :-) )

Thank you for allowing me to point out little areas of problems that could possibly help others understand Abyss. And make, hopefully, life easier for everybody.
I understand this word, however I would like you to take notice of how often it is used, "Host". Please just right down. The different meanings of this. And how many ways, can you explain it the word Host, however it usually requires additional words in order to understand the meanings. This word cannot stand alone.
This is the first major confusion and still causes me trouble to understand. I know this, you can host other peoples web sites. Then there is host, that can be also your network provider the same as you receive your static IP address and e-mail from.

Host:
- Can be the area of the X2 console where a particular domain is hosted (when you add a new domain you are adding a new "host")
- Can be a domain name (host name)
- Can be an ISP/hosting providor
- Can be used to say 'I "host" your website on my server'
Those are the only meanings I can think of at the moment. Other members might be able to think of more.

Suggestion: Never use very bright colors on a black background,
except maybe white and grey (Sometimes blue).

Hi TRUSTpunk.

Suggestion: Never use very bright colors on a black background,
except maybe white and grey (Sometimes blue).

please, explain why.
May I also ask, what I am pointing out. Is it a valid suggestion.
I am not planning ongoing very far, or actually keeping this up, so anyone that wish improve it in order to share feel free.
before I exchange to my original 3-D web site.
By the way, thank you. :wink:

TRUSTAbyss

No problem.
I'm just saying this because imagine staring at the sun on a bright sunny day,
well on your website, it's about the same as looking at the sun because it gets
so bright with the black, yellow, and red to where your eyes burn.
You just have to experiment with certain colors untill it looks good and doesn't
burn your eyes. My background that you see is alot better on your eyes, just be
sure to use colors that won't hurt your eyes is all I'm saying.
Glad I can help. By the way.. Do you like the new PBA site?

You should make it so it has "soft" colours. Make it so the colours don't jump out at you. As in AbyssUnderground, some of them do, but that is because they are a point of interest or important information. That should be the only exception on any website.

As many words, "host" has different meanings in different contexts. But a network provider is not a host (although many claim they are), this is a misuse of language commonly done by many ISPs: ISP stands for Internet Service Provider and that's what they do: they provide you with Internet connectivity, so they are not hosts. At the contrary, web hosting companies could be called hosts because their computers "host" customers web sites.
In the servers world, a host has a single meaning: have you read http://www.aprelium.com/data/doc/2/abyssws-win-doc-html/howdowswork.html ?
A web site and a host are different things although they could mean the same in 90% of the situations.
A single computer can make available to the rest of the world several web sites. Each web site contains files and scripts. Usually a web site has a single domain name (www.aprelium.com for example). But sometimes you need to have the same set of files and scripts constituting a web site associated with more than one domain name: for example all of www.aprelium.org, www.aprelium.net and www.aprelium.com are associated with the same files and scripts. For the visitors www.aprelium.org, www.aprelium.net and www.aprelium.com look like 3 different web sites (if they see the names) but they actually share the same data.
How is that done? In Abyss Web Server we've declared a host and have associated it with three names (www.aprelium.org, www.aprelium.net and www.aprelium.com). So a host is no more than a set of files/scripts and one or more domain names that it should respond to.

Hi TRUSTpunk and The Inquisitor.
Thank you both for your suggestions.
I really am not trying to burn anybody's eyes out. I read someplace it was a person that designed web sites and made some suggestions to the size of the fonts. To make things easier for elderly people to read. So therefore in order to try to keep the eyes from burning from all white, a black background. And I guess I believe those bright colors are not as I burning as whites. However I could be wrong.

I have clicked the banner below, and have gone to the web site of the banner. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Aprelium.
I agree about host, however working with a computer that has a connection to ISP, and at the same time serving domain names, with an your home computer using the same software. However you are working on communication between a ISP, and hosting at home domain names. Is where I become confused.
The software is actually designed to go two directions of communication.
One direction is to your ISP, the other is with an the software itself, hosting domain names.
At my web site I am suggesting when you are working with the area with an the software that is connecting to the ISP to have a abbreviation of ISP/Host. When you are working on your own computer with an abyss, software to help understand that direction by and added a extension DN/Host, the abbreviation is domain name.
Why is this necessary to understand, basically who do you need to contact for your support, your ISP, or Abyss.
The page you suggested to read, was actually the first thing, it was the first thing I read once, the software was on the computer. The information about HTML, is very well done.
Thank you to all.

At the underground forum a question, are you able to post pictures?

AbyssUnderground

Yes posting pictures on the AbyssUnderground forum is fine.

Firefly

Wonderful, I believe that will help you, to help me understand some of the questions I am having.

Your ISP is only a data carrier and no more than that. So if you have a connection problem and that you cannot access the external world or the people outside cannot see your computer because your ISP has problems with your line, you should contact them.
Contact us when you have problems with configuring Abyss Web Server or using one of its features. We suggest also reading http://www.aprelium.com/support/policy.html to know what we can help with and what is out of our support scope.
