[Xitami] Re Change of IP address

Linda,

Firstly, 

[/Admin]
   ltdeditions = "mypassword"[Private]

is not correct. Remove the [Private] and the brackets. If your pasword
does not contain spaces, remove the quotation marks around the password
too.


Secondly, there is something wrong with your virtual hosts.

>From what I've seen in your attached files, ltdeditions has a cfg file
and an aut file in your Xitami directory. But it is not in your
defaults.cfg as a virtual host. Your only virtual host according to your
defaults.cfg is the solarcharts.

The entry in your defaults.cfg is like this:

[Virtual-hosts]
    * = "solarcharts.cfg"

If I'm not mistaken, this means everything is solarcharts, ie no matter
which host name or IP the browser used to arrive at your server, the
configuration file solarcharts.cfg is to be used by Xitami whenever
applicable. (And neither your ltdeditions.cfg nor your ltdeditions.aut
has any relevance because no such virtual host configuration was never
specified in your default.cfg.)

This is how the defaults.cfg entry should be if you want ltdeditions
also:

[Virtual-hosts]
    solarcharts.com = "solarcharts.cfg"
    ltdeditions.com = "ltdeditions.cfg"

(I'm taking a guess here at the host names - you would know what they
are in reality and if you don't want a virtual host by the name of
ltdeditions then leave the second line out)

Thirdly,

the configuration files in Xitami are read in cascading order.
At the very core is the Xitami.cfg - which you should never ever change.
After that there is the Defaults.cfg - used to customize the server.
In the Defaults.cfg are your virtual host configuration entries..
These entries specify individual .cfg files for all your virtual hosts.
Then these specified .cfg file are read by Xitami for further
customization per virtual host.

So the priority Xitami follows right now for all server rules is

1) solarcharts.cfg
2) defaults.cfg
3) xitami.cfg

Any rule missing in the solarcharts.cfg is read from defaults.cfg and if
not there, it's read ultimately fron Xitami.cfg . 

The same applies to the .aut files because they were specified.
Because in your defaults.cfg you are stating everything is solarcharts.
Then Xitami goes to solarcharts.cfg and sees that solarcharts has an
.aut
file of its own, the solarcharts.aut. It goes to solarcharts.aut and
sees

[/Admin]
    admin=-

AND THIS IS THE ADMIN for Xitami. 
The user name is "admin" and the password is "~" .
No matter what your defaults.aut says Xitami will read the
solarcharts.aut 
because according to your defaults.cfg right now, 
"*" everything = solarcharts.cfg .

Still getting this.

invalid.

Want to check my file again?
