[Xitami] Re Change of IP address

I'm glad that fixed it. I tried half a day between my work, disabling my
own configuration, to understand what exactly was objectionable your
configuration.
Linda, Xitami is not hard. There are these set of text files it reads to
decide how you want it to behave.
The text files are only tiny databases, where the records are separated
(delimited) in a special way.
The admin screen acts only as a translator (with limited capabilites)
for you to write to these tiny text databases.
If you take the time to open and read the Xitami.cfg + Xitami.aut, these
tell you everything (they have explanatory notes on the top parts and
the right side) you can do to change how Xitami behaves. Because these
are all the rules Xitami uses by default unless you override and change
them with another cfg file (and this is why you should never change the
Xitami.cfg and Xitami.aut files).
AFter you start reading these, you also understand the Xitami Help
better.
Good Luck
Ayhan

That fixed it!!!
(As well as everything else no doubt)
Thanks Ayhan. Thankyou everyone. I will
be keeping all this precious
information. Xitami is pretty hard, but
a little clearer to me now.
