Sorry to be taking up so much of this topic. You guys are my lifeline. Also, I get really impatient when a techy thing that should work doesn't and everything I can think of to throw at it doesn't make even the slightest bit of difference.

Any file you want served up (PHP, HTML, whatever) should be under htdocs in the directory structure. You can do some stuff to map to other directories outside the tree, but it'd just be one more confusing thing to go wrong.

For your current purposes, the only place anything non-database lives is htdocs.

Good! And I found out there was an extra space in the URL I was pasting into the command, so that explains that!

My sanity, she is saved. Well, what little sanity I have is preserved. You know what I mean.

Thanks again!

D'oh! My bad - I stuck the space in so you could see the URL rather than letting it be auto-linkified by the b.org.

Good luck!

I suck at remembering the code, but whenever I want to post a link and not have it magicked away, I use / instead of a forward slash, so typing in http://buffistas.org gives [link] nice and inactive.

Omnis_audi - nothing wrong with your idea other than cost, which would be high. Normal cost of solar panels (already high), plus cost of roof, plus connection to grid. More expensive per square unit of power than rooftop cells. So likely that California would want to cover rooftops before it starts covering parking lots.

Any one have suggestions for reasonably priced microphone speaker video camera combination with echo cancellation?

This is for video conference sit with multiple people at the site. We need better than a low end home system, but not up in stratosphere of true professional system - ideally web camera, speakers, and microphone and echo cancellation should be under $500. I'm pretty sure the PC we hook this up to will be a windows PC.

Actually, I don't think they'd need roofs. Solar panels are relatively light. They can be mounted easily on unistrut. So it could be as easy as planting some columns, then running lightweight truss beams out, then mount on the truss. Since most parking lots already have lights in them, I wonder if you could use those posts. Ah. Just thought of a problem. would have to run all new lighting for night time for shopping center ones. And they currently have those suckers on tall towers with super bright no-crime lights, so one light covers a large area. damn.

Which is still a at least a roofing frame. Also by the time you put all those panels on you are going to be concentrating rainwater and dumping at the edges of the panels - which would promote puddling. To avoid that you will need gutters to direct the rain where you want to. Since panels are available that double as roofing material, you would probably just build a roof out of solar panels. And there is also the lighting problem you mentioned.
