Oh dear!! Sorry Pat, that last email was my review of your image! Ok Laugh if you must! ;-)) I did! Now I have actually read your page too, and again this is clear to understand and as usual, so very helpful. I have an index page in all of my freepages directories but I had not thought to do as Judy has done. Well done Judy for that inspiration.

Lorrie said: I see the option to "replace tree with new gedcom". I missed it before. So will the other many logins I have from the previous version of wc go away with time? I hope so. And, I hope that someday a click will allow us, and visitors, to see all of the gedcoms we have. This might reveal some unknown relationships. Thanks. == Lorris you could use RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project Global Search or WorldConnect Home to search for others researching your names. I guess this is what you mean? Ancestry was flagging names on my databases with their 'leaves; but I cannot see any today. Maybe they have stopped this?

Contrary to information I have posted earlier, and exactly as Pat Asher has said, the server needs to be configured to parse .txt files on a s/html page. I had been parsing Includes embedded on a page, and forgot to check the obvious. So the directives contained in my original post (below) should have .txt added as follows:- Change the lines indicated in the original post below to:- AddType text/html .shtml .shtm .html .htm .txt AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml .shtm .html .htm .txt So, that effectively covers the field, and s/html/text files will be parsed for SSI/XSSI directives. Barry -------------------------------------------------------- Following some fruitless discussion a couple of days ago on how to get the WAMP Apache server to parse Includes files at http://localhost, I have installed the package and sorted what needs to be done to the httpd.conf file which is accessible directly from the server icon in the Windows systems tray. Click on the WAMP icon in the tray, navigate to Apache/httpd.conf and click (once). The configuration file will now display complete with a lot of instruction on what and what not to do. The rows prefixed with # are comments, and various directives contained throughout the narrative can be made active by removing the # immediately to their left. Find the following:- > # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks > Change the line above to :- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes > For the next scroll down about 80% - > # Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client. # # To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI): # (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.) # AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml > Change the lines above to :- AddType text/html .shtml .shtm .html .htm AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml .shtm .html .htm > Close the file and when prompted, select SAVE. Click on the WAMP server icon and select Restart All Services. A HTML file loaded to a directory in localhost and containing SSI/XSSI directives will, when called, be parsed by the server. My system is set up so that the localhost is at c:/wamp/www/ and my parent directory is at c:/wamp/www/home For security and simplicity, I have not made any attempt to provide external access to the localhost, but this can be done using a domain name server IP address setup. This means the http://localhost is secure behind my firewall. In my case there is no need to FTP data to the localhost, and the normal Explorer methods of copying files is used. Note:: There are other methods of achieving the same result, e.g. xbithack, but the above is simple.

Thanks for the credit Judy but it was not me who suggested it, probably Pat Asher as I am not sure I ever really knew it that the default community was misc.. I'd love to hear from others who are using the format with more of their communities. Personally I would want each of the communities to have a different look but everything within a community to have the same look. My own site uses only one of the communiteis but has three different looks. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/ main community under genealogy cause that is where I had started out. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/frontpage/ still under genealogy but a completely different look http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/expression-web/ still under genealogy but again a different look. It can easily be done using a template and external style sheet simply by changing out the colors and graphics in the style sheet. pat

But, the task to change my other sites to the "misc" css is too daunting for me, so every site (community) in my complete web looks different. Judy

Sherri, Your "misc" community on the "freepages" is the default directory/community/website for all your "freepages" communities. You can set up a "hub" on your "misc" that includes all "freepages" "communities you have in use. For an example, see: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~florian/ The key is to cross-link between sites, by making links available to them through navigation and through on-site search. For Freefind or Google on-site Search, you just add the full (absolute) URLs, one at a time, to your set up screen at Freefind or Google. The counters, I don't know.

I am going to use my other communities on my RW account. So if I understand correctly, each "community" is like a separate site? My current home: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familytwigs/ So, I am going to set up a launch type page to be a hub to all the other information/data.

Thanks Barry, really appreciate the help! Unfortunately I had already tried that following a tutorial online. I also just re tried it using what you sent. It didn't work. I still get a blank area were the includes should be, no error messages so I know it's not and includes path problem. I have no idea why it's not working, very annoying! My .htaccess and httpd.conf files look like they are set right. :-( Kim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Carlson" <barrycarls@gmail.com> To: <FREEPAGES-HELP@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2011 9:33 PM Subject: Re: [FreeHelp] Configure WAMP Apache Server for SSI > Contrary to information I have posted earlier, and exactly as Pat Asher > has said, the server needs to be configured to parse .txt files on a > s/html page.

Kim, I should have mentioned that I have changed the Doctype from XHTML to HTML. The surnames list is in a format that is acceptable to one and not the other. The page displays the same either way, but badly violates the terms imposed by the W3C Validator if presented as XHTML. Barry

Kim, The file kim-m.html is attached. Just change its name to the existing file name you are using and allow it to be over written. Barry On 19/02/2011 5:57 a.m., Kim Mills wrote: > Thanks Barry!

Kim, Got tied up yesterday, and when I finally got round to looking at it, it was fairly late here. Well, you might say it is now early - 5:30am, but here goes. Without the background, I have your page sorted and it is at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bristowe/surnames/kim-m.html Now it is going to take a little time to explain what has been done, but you can download the CSS and try it yourself. Also, the surnames data (except) the top anchor links is now an include. The anchors html had a lot of square brackets and it wasn't liked by the SSI. I'll send you a clean HTML file if you'd like it. Barry On 19/02/2011 4:41 a.m., Kim Mills wrote: > Thanks Jill! That centered the header for me.

You put the urls backwards it seems from what I experienced when clicking. Anyway if you go to the tree administration url first, you just click on my account at the upper right corner and it takes you to the other. There doesn't seem to be a link the other direction, but if you did the tree first, the back arrow on your browser can take you back to tree admin.
