Good evening mac i just want to ask you that if i can upload my portfolio on the assignment 1 account or you still busy correcting .
and another problem is do we have to start from scratch creating the database on mysql or we can just upload the files that contain the database from the localhost?
Enjoy your weekend.

You can upload.
You can use the same databse - you are just adding new tables to it.

where must the portfolio be uploaded to?
we saw from the first assignment FWHA is not the most stable solution can we use a server of choice?
is the submission on the MyUnisa site enough for the purpose? ie add all code and screen shots of the site?
how do we ensure the MySql DB holds up when marking as we have little control over the site after its uploaded

Read the tut letter:

Create the application on your PC, make sure it works, and then upload it to the Free Web Hosting area (see tut 101). Keep in mind you need to visit your web site at least once a month else it is automatically deleted.

Then read the forum....

http://osprey.unisa.ac.za/phorum/read.php?564,152988

Then read the tut letter again:

You DO NOT submit this portfolio via myUnisa. You send it directly to xxxxxxxx, using your myLife email account.

Preferably your stduent number - it makes it just so much easier. Else at least you surname.

good evening mac concerning the zipped file , Is it a zipped folder or a zipped file?

Re: Upload portfolio

A folder can be zipped as a zipped file - they key word is it is zipped. That is, the zipped folder ends up as a file. Even if there are no visible folders, it still is a folder (a root folder), therefore a folder can be zipped as a file, but it remains a zipped folder in essence. But it is also a file - a zipped file, which may contain folders when it is eventually unzipped.

After THAT explanation, I will recess my feet into a recliner for the rest of the weekend smiling smiley

Good afternoon mac, do we have to send the portfolio(attached file and link of the website) using the same email address used for assignment 1?
Re: Upload portfolio

@ Ronk, read the tut letter or other resources, you will find all the needed information.
Re: Upload portfolio

@jdfkat i read it already i was not answered that's why I'm asking this question to prof mac.
@mac please i just need your confirmation.

It is more reliable to use a paid hosting service, then at least you can rely on good support from the hosting company. Legitimate hosting companies also provide backups of your files in case of those times when your database or files mysteriously disappear! I can recommend a few good companies who offer student discounts and sometimes free hosting if you motivate it in a letter, eg. http://www.uniwebserve.com or http://www.uniwebsa.com or http://www.webhostingweb.co.za - best of luck!

There could be a 100 reasons..... I do not know what to advise you. Are your form links correct? You need to struggle with this a bit. It is a HTML issue, not a PHP issue.

check your connect page if you have the correct server name and password. Remember on your computer mysql_connect("localhost","root",""winking smiley on the web hosting area mysql_connect("name of their server","your username","your password"winking smiley;

Just keep on trying. I cannot speak for Unisa mail issues. Other portfolios that are zipped are coming through, so consider it a temp issue.

Anyone already submitted his/her portfolio, how did you manage to submit? I tried 8-times without luck and it makes me anxious now.
What do you think the problem is? I even split the folder into two zipped folders.And I'm using my life account so i don't know why this UNISA thing preventing us.sad smiley

Do not forget typing the subject for your email message. Mail Servers will treat your message as spam & even reject it.

Then I suggest you upload it to virtual space, and send me the link as your portfolio. Keep the link alive until well into December.
Re: Upload portfolio
October 25, 2011 12:16PM
Mac suggest I upload to virtual space, but I'm struggling to find one. The only Virtual space I saw was for buying domain names.

Hi Mac,

I just need clarity on one thing, the portfolio requirements state that the portfolio should have 7 pages, what I need to know is, is it a problem if the pages are more than 7?
Re: Upload portfolio

You can have more than 7 pages - but the if/else's must be in there as described in the tut letter.
This email address is making life very difficult for me..... this is the last email I allow that is not sent by mylife.

Hi mac
I founded it difficult to submit using virtual space as I didn't know how to get one, I submitted the codes without zipping them and they went through.I also sent a copy to myself but it was only for testing.
