Having problem setting up Facebook Autorisation in Joomla Autotweet
If you're having a problem with 1st Movers Autotweet and more importantly the authorization then try a different browser ! Because for me soon as I tried Chrome instead on Mozilla it worked.

how do I reverse the BACS check to run a report for a second time in Joomla Payrollsystem
In Joomla Payrollsystem how is the check for 'BACS of This Date Are Already Generated' done .
Open components/com_projectfork/models/bacs.php
at line 25 examine this code.
[code]
$lstdate = "SELECT last_end_date FROM #__time_diff LIMIT 1";
$db->setQuery($lstdate);
$l_date = $db->loadResult();
if(($startTime<=$l_date)and($endTime<$l_date))
[/code]
basically if does a search in __time_diff the last set of results and then from here on you can run a BACS report.
So if I delete all results in __time_diff I will be able to re run the BACS again.
This system doesn't seem ideal but will work as long as BACS runs are always done in the order they should be.

How to set up Multiple Accounts on a Heart Internet Dedicated server
Setting up a Dedicated Server on Heart Internet.
I've never had that much to do with setting up servers so once we got our Dedicated server things . The first thing I realised is this
* the basic dedicated server set up does not have a WHM / Cpanel installed - this service will cost you an extra £20 a month. This may effect your decision whether to use a dedicated server or not.
Once you have WHM then you need to set up you CPANEL accounts for the multiple domains your going to have on your server.
take a look at the WHM documentation to see how to do this
http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/WHMDocs/WebHome
How to set up multiple domain on my server using WHM ?
WHM how to set up a new account ?
WHM where to start with setting up sites ?
take a look at this post http://forums.cpanel.net/f354/whm-where-start-setting-up-sites-150661.html
The big clue here that I needed to stumble upon is that before setting up a new account I need to create a package.

After you make a Package then you need to make an account.
To do this click on 'Account Functions'
and then on the next screen you'll have a 'create new account' option.
Here's a couple of questions I had while setting things up
should I enable DKIM on my DNS settings ?
DKIM stands for Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) and is a layer of security , so I will be added by it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail
and should I enable SPF on my DNS settings
Sender Policy Framework - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
again a security layer. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
After click on 'adding the new account' I got this message
Account Creation Status: failed
Your system has run out of available ip addresses, or you do not have permission to use any more ip addresses. (Unable to find an ip address.)
this because in the package set up i needed to have 'Dedicated IP' unticked.
After this you get sent the account details for your new account and will need to login to that in a new browser window.
