I have paid it thinking it would have to be renewed or I would lose my business name, even though I went bankrupt. I am not sure what I should do now. I have been trying to get through to Domain Group for a few weeks now and have sent emails as well but no reply. I am horrified that they have ripped me off, and frustrated that I cannot get through to anyone. If you have any information or contacts for me to try and email to, I would greatly appreciate it.

In recent times they have decided to become a platform for advertising revenue, see the pop-ups on every site. Now the only way they can attract these funds is by having a large membership. Well like a lot of others we are sad that Oztion is no longer a Auction site , rather just a fund raiser for the needy and greedy. Al. We have just closed all our accounts with Oztion.

I'm looking for one too, but in Indonesia, which might prove even more of a challenge. I've spoken to Steecase and I've also been quoted 10 - 12 weeks. And import duty and freight costs are prohibitive. I can get a good deal if I buy 10 though.... Hmmm. Thanks for the piece though. Reinforces my commitment to get hold of one of these chairs...

If so, smtp4dev (http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/) is pretty great, I had the same need myself. Now, to continue looking for somewhere near Melbourne that can let me try out a frickin' Steelcase Leap chair. John, I don’t know if (a) you are still looking or (b) you have access to a Windows box.

UNLESS: you are transfering executables between VMs and the Host OR you have an open writeable share on the Host OS the rootkit etc to deposit its payload into and for you to run that executable in your host OS environment under an account with administrative perms (ie. UAC turned off - a very very dumb thing to do these days!) @John

Last .htaccess line in Your example didn't help, but it gave me idea to write it: RewriteRule ^.*$ /ZendTest/index.php [NC,L] And it worked, now I'm back on my way. Many thanks! P.S. I'd like Zend tutorial would have the same "Comments on this page" idea, as PHP Manual have ;-) Thank you John,

I was having trouble getting rewriting to work right & thought this was the solution, but it was my AllowOverride in apache2.conf in Ubuntu. I just reverted to the .htaccess created by the zf create project command, and it seems to work fine. For ZF 1.8, it doesn’t appear as if this is necessary at all.

Was able to get the default index page working by modifying the application path to point to the application location, but any other controller would not work cause it was assuming the subdir was the controller. The rewrite rule (last line) was all I needed to change,to get it to work. Thanks!!!
