Line to modify on configuration.php is :   var $live_site = ”’;

By default $live_site variable value is empty, only need to put complete direction of joomla web site on it and it will work correctly! , for example :

var $live_site = ‘http://joomla.moove-it.com/’;

Finally, upload modify file to ftp!

Ok, get up! it was only a nightmare, but if a strange reason causes you must accomplish that task you may wish get/put directories recursively from/to a ftp server.

The bad news are that the FTP protocol doesn’t supports this operation, you can get only an individual file or a group of files that expands some wildcard expression, but you can’t get/put recursively an entire directory.

Luckily ncftp saves the day, it’s a free ftp client (free as in beer and free as non-private), that supports many features like background processing and directory tree copy.

So, to GET the contents a whole directory tree just invoke ncftpget command:

$> ncftpget -R -u <user_account> ftp.moove-it.com /home/gian/migration_h /remote_directory

* -R copy a whole directory
* ftp.xxx.x is the remote ftp server
* /home/yyy is the local destination
* and /remote_xx is the ftp directory to be transfered

PUT a directory is trivial too, just invoke the ncftpput command:

$> ncftput -R -u <user_account> ftp2.moove-it.com /home/gian/migration_h /remote_directory

be happy!

Hotmail has as “smart” guy called the SmartScreen filter. This guy is responsible for filtering the mails based on different patterns: email content, IP reputation, … if this guy marks you as a possible spammer you’re in trouble.
The only way that you have is to talk with the hotmail guys.

To do that, submit a form with your mail server information => https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=senderid&ct=eformts
Hotmail guys will contact you for further information regarding your site and your mail policy.
After 4 or 5 mails between you and hotmail support, if it’s all okay, they will  help you with a mitigation to your IP
“I am pleased to inform you that we have taken steps to implement a temporary mitigation to your mail delivery problem on your IP (206.212.246.210). The mitigation will take 24-48 hours to reflect fully within our system.”

Congrats!

I also suggest to enroll to the Sender Score program at http://www.senderscorecertified.com (the only white list that Hotmail uses).

Good luck!

integration with

brief introduction to this tools …

Moodle (www.moodle.org): Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It is a Free web application that educators can use to create effective online learning sites

(we recommend moodle for elearning sites … no doubt)

Wiziq(www.wiziq.com): WiZiQ is a free alternative to expensive conferencing tools selling as online teaching/learning software

(very good tool for virtual class)

For this issue try this two solutions:

*First of all try with this information from a wiziq support center…

WiZiQ Live Class form picks up time zone as you set in your profile on Moodle. Please set your time zone in your Moodle profile. All the following steps need to be done in your Moodle account and not in your WiZiQ account.

1. Sign-in to your Moodle account.

2. Visit your profile that you have filled on Moodle. There you have time zone set as GMT +13.

3. Go to ‘Edit Profile’ tab.

4. In the Timezone field select ‘GMT+1’ and save the information.

5. Now, select WiZiQ Live Class as an activity. You should be able to add WiZiQ Live Classes for GMT which I’m assuming is your actual time zone.

**if it does not work, we will have to change the default value of the timezone. To do this … Follow these steps:

1. In the module of wizip “domain/mod/wiziq”, change one line in two files: “mode1.html” and “session.php”
2. find this peace of code:
   default:
   {
   $timezone=”GMT+13″;
   }
3. change for:(for example my timezone is GMT-3)
   default:
   {
   $timezone=”GMT-3″;
   }

enjoy

The truth regarding this, is that we do not have a unique technique or way to inbox in the different mail servers (hotmail, yahoo, gmail, aol, etc), because these mail servers have different security protocols (SPF, Domain Keys, Sender ID?…) and each has it’s particular tricks.

The first step is to make sure that  all the DNS stuff is configured properly. Some mail servers can send mail from multiple IP addresses at the same time, so, you must determine the IP or IPs that you want to use to send emails.  Once you have identified this IPs, you must view their rDNS configuration (Reverse DNS) .  You can do this executing the following command:

host -t PTR 206.189.123.25

After executing the command you will look at somthing like this:    25.123.189.206.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer anyplace.pepetrueno.com.

The sentence in bold above must point to the mail server! (Obviously the first time it will point to some place that you don’t know, commonly a temporary hosting domain. Every mail server has a name (machine name) and the rDNS must point to that name. (xeonmachine02.myhostingprovider.com for example)
To configure the rDNS in a correct way, you must submit a ticket to the hosting that manages your server (the IP owner) and ask for this change.
Once this change is done, you must wait 12-24-48 hours (propagation time) and test again.

The rDNS setting is a very important thing, almost all mail servers have this validation. For example, if this configuration is wrong when you are trying to send mails to hotmail,  your mail is discarded and doesn’t even go to junk folder.

How to inbox in hotmail?

To inbox in hotmail, you must implement the SPF validation(more details). The truth is that hotmail, has a security framework called Sender ID that is based in SPF and the configuration is the “same” (Sender ID has other features that you can use).
The first step is create a SPF record and with this wizard it is really easy.

The SPF record is a string line like this:  v=spf1 ip4:128.121.145.168 mx mx:one.textdrive.com include:cmail1.com include:aspmx.googlemail.com a ~all  (Twitter SPF configuration)

Basically in the record you have to specify wich IP or IPs can send emails using your domain.

Once you have your SPF record, you must publish this record in your DNS server. If you use a DNS server provided by Godaddy.com for example (or another hosting/server provider), you will have a tool inside your console that lets you enter your SPF record. Anyway, if you don’t find the tool, submit a ticket to your provider!
If you have a DNS server, you must put the SPF record inside the configuration file of your domain. (mydomain.com.db for example).  (If you have a DNS server, I’m sure that you know what I mean.)
In this configuration file you must add a line like this:  mydomain.com IN TXT ” v=spf1 ip4:128.121.145.168 mx mx:one.textdrive.com include:cmail1.com include:aspmx.googlemail.com a ~all”… that’s it.

To test if your SPF record is published, you can go the wizard that I use above and put your domain name. In the step 2, if you have a SPF record, the wizard will display it to you.
Another way to test your SPF record, is use this tool that I found .. it’s really good.

How to inbox in yahoo?

To inbox in yahoo you must configure Domain Keys. I will write about this configuration (or maybe my friend Gian) in a few days.

I hope this helps you with your problems
