Nynox Help Desk

I have set up 3 demo apps. They are deployed under webapps\www.nynox.com. I have not been checking lately. I tried to login a few days ago and those apps are no longer working. In "server.xml",

Host name="www.nynox.com" appBase="webapps/www.nynox.com" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"
Host

above config string is to map http://www.nynox.com/nynoxdemo1/app/index.jsp. For some reasons, applications under webapps/www.nynox.com are no longer working.

I am investigating now.

www.nynox.com domain was purchased through BlueHost. When I set up the web site through HostJava, I have set up www.nynox.net. I then redirect www.nynox.com to www.nynox.net through BlueHost's domain redirection. BlueHost hosting one year registration will be expired soon. I have decided to transfer www.nynox.com domain to HostJava.

Blog powered by b2evolution was spammed with all the sex related entries. As blogging itself required login, spam is done through comments. Adding comments with sex related entries. I have deleted all comments and comments are now disabled.

Nynox discussion forum was set up using phpBB software. There were spam issues
- spammers were posting sex, drugs etc topics. Administrator approval was put in place so that registered users were required to be activated by the administrator.
- spammers were registering user accounts (about 500 per week) to list their spam web sites. Even though Catcha was turned on, somehow spammers could bypass and managed to create spam user accounts.
- there are php-mods but as I don't have php knowledge, it was not easy to follow the mod install steps.

phpBB has been turned off and Simple Machines Forum (smf) has been installed. In smf, there are user interface which allows you to multi-select from the list and delete. I will monitor the smf forum regarding the spam issue.

I have been experimenting with Wiki application on the Google. It appears to be very easy to create and use. Over the next few days and weeks, I will start using Google Sites wiki area to document Nynox. If appears good, that will be Wiki holder for Nynox Help Desk. Watch out that space.
