nice, nice, nice....but it'll take me some time to get used to it

If you run OS X, you can add definitions of the newAuralMoon.com to your hosts file.


The easiest way for you to do this, assuming you're not a unix vi editor wiz, is to do the following:

1. Log into an account with Admin privies.

2. Open the Terminal app found in /Applications/Utilities

3. enter: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit

4. at the Password: prompt, enter the admin account's password.

5. a TextEdit window will open.

6. go to the File item in the menu bar and select Open

7. In the Open popup, type /etc in the search window. You will get a window that says: Go to the folder.... click the Go button

8. find the file called "hosts". Click on it and click on the Open button.

9. use your cursor keys and move to the end of the file.


it should look something like this:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
#



10. enter the following two lines to thebottom of this file:


64.253.47.118 auralmoon.com
64.253.47.118 www.auralmoon.com

11. again, go to File in the menu bar and Save this file.

12. Restart your Mac

That should be a temp. solution - we're still trying to figure out why the domain is messed up - it should have propogated by now.

So here's a quick and easy add for your page! I'll be watching to see if it works, and it should...

Hi Andy, JIM, AVIAN, VAX, and the Dr(usually refered to as Management).----This Paste is Excellant, I now have a AuralMoon Banner on myspace. The Link however did not work as the site has been tricky lately.
Listen, I removed the /html/ from the first AM mention and Now It links to the New Page, AWESOME , Thx for the setup Andy. If this is the case for you too, You can remove that /html/ by edit here and your Job is Good to Go for the Masses!!! Prog On Brother!!!!!!!!!1

I like the design but I think that it is hard to read out the main logo (auralmoon). So IMHO the logo's colour or the background should change. I'd recommend to change the bg.

Another thing:
At Playlist Request when I click on a song's name it gives:

"
status=err
SQL error=You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
"

using FireFox 1.5.0.4 on Kubuntu Linux (Dapper Drake)

Yeah, the logo's temporary - didn't spend much time there. Completely new logo coming. I might try and change it.

I don't see this - I get the normal song info box that pops up. Is it doing it on one particular song? Give it a try again.

I just got it also. Did an artist search for Canarios, clicked on the song "Cuarto Acto...", got "status=err
SQL error=You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1"

URL for the song link was:
http://auralmoon.com/songinfo.php?songID=47458

2 other things I've noted with a quick tour:

1) any chance to bust Forums out of frames? I dislike a scrollbar within my page scrollbar, especially below the fold.

2) (black)box on the home page is sometimes doubling all comments (same list of comments twice) after I've been elsewhere on the site then use Back to go back. Maybe only after other comments have been posted? Seems to clear up on the first refresh or if I manually refresh. WinXP/FF1.5 fully updated.

Thanx to all for the hard work & great results!

I still get the error in the same window.

Avian, anyway to make it an option to open the entire WPN as a separate window, like the old site? Sometimes I want to have WPN without the whole page.

[Yesspaz]

Um, nevermind.

Oh, I see - are you only seeing this when you click on a song name in the search results, or do you ever see this when just browsing the playlist?

FIXED! Thanks for reporting that.

[DodgerMatt]

The "now playing" beige text on white background is unreadable.

I agree we need the singing smiley

If you're seeing a white background, something is wrong. Perhaps it's these domain issues we're stiull having that will hopefully be fixed soon. BUt maybe it's your browser. What are you using?

[jtmckinley]

New website looks great Avian et. al. Vast improvement over the old site IMHO. Thanks!

[MrMagoo]

For those having domain problems on Windows boxen:

1) print out or email these instructions to yourself
2) quit all browsers
3) open Notepad (Start -> All Programs -> Accesories -> Notepad)
4) File -> Open... (Ctrl+O)
5) change 'Files of Type' pull-down at bottom of Open dialog window to 'All Files'
6) click 'My Computer' on left pane (or your computer's name)
7) double click 'Local Disk (C:)' in center pane (or your system drive's name)
8) double click 'Windows' folder in center pane
9) double click 'system32' folder in center pane
10) double click 'drivers' folder in center pane
11) double click 'etc' folder in center pane
12) double click 'hosts' file in center pane
13) the file should look like (between the ===== lines):

=====
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
=====

14) add the following 2 lines at the bottom of the hosts file (note the space(s) or tab between the IP address and the name):

64.253.47.118 auralmoon.com
64.253.47.118 www.auralmoon.com

15) File -> Save (Ctrl+S)
16) restart your browser

The above instructions are for WinXP Home, here's where the host file is located for other flavors:

Win95/98 hosts file location:
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts

Win2k hosts file location:
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Xp hosts file location :
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
