I am in need of some help, here is what i have...I have build a Access Database using 2013 and have placed it on our company network. The database is updated frequently of visitors signing in and out. What i am trying to do is view the database like a report or select* from table1 (something like that) I would like to view this by HTML from browser (file://) as i will be using a IPAD that is connected to our network. I am looking for some insight our other possible ways this might work
Thanks in advance
Does your company use SharePoint?
I just created a web database relatively easily that is hosted on sharepoint.
You should be able to import your tables pretty easily.
Possibly relevant:
Move Access Web Database to Another Sharepoint Site
If you going to build a web interface, then you need to use web development tools.
You can of course adopt terminal services, and thus consume the application on an iPad or any device that supports remote desktop protocol (RDP).
And you can now “eliminate” the need for a RDP client since technology does exist that converts RDP to pure HTML5. Check out:
https://www.cybelesoft.com/thinfinity/remote-desktop/
In fact there is even an open source one here:
http://guac-dev.org/
The above will thus let you run existing Access applications in a browser – you need a server running remote desktop for this purpose.
As several mentioned, you can also adopt Access web publishing, but that choice does not support VBA, nor does it support existing forms etc. (you have to re-build your forms as access web forms and no conversion of existing forms exists).

I have the following problem. I downloaded a web page with the wayback machine downloader. The wayback machine downloader saves the query strings with %3f because question marks are not allowed in Windows Explorer. For example, when I go to the splash.aspx?page=3 page, nothing happens except that for each value after the ?, the same page appears. How can I assign different pages with the query strings?
Btw: I use IIS for hosting.
The problem is that the downloader creates a static copy of the site. There won't be any server-side processing. Multi-page processing requires that.
Assuming that the wayback machine actually iterated through all the pages, you will need a different downloading tool that can find them all, creating static versions of each page and rewriting the links for each, since the wayback machine downloader doesn't know how to do paging itself.
But really, stepping back, I think what you're trying to do is the problem. Wayback Machine is for creating snapshots of sites at a point in time. It's goal is not to backup and restore the backend functionality. (Which it can't do, even if it wanted to, since it doesn't have access to the backend of every site on the internet.)
You didn't specify what your final end goal is, but my guess is that while the wayback machine might be able to be used to scrape the data, you'll have to write your own server code and website if you want to redeliver it again. (And assuming you have the rights to do so.)

I am trying to set up a website with MediaWiki on a Shared Hosting service and am getting frustrating results. First I am going to list what I want out of my website and will show the hosting details to show you what kinds of problems I am running into here:
So the main objective of the website is to run a database of events in human history (relating to World War 2)
I want to use the Visual Editor extension to create a more visual style to edit articles (which requires Parsoid) so that editors won’t have to go through the pain of using the old wiki editor and memorizing the different characters needed for specific things and so that editing the whole thing won’t look like a complete mess.
I want to make it so that only selected accounts/people can create and edit content on the site.
I want to be able to have some sort of forum so that people can ask questions and communicate with each other.
I want my site to have a certain kind of style (which I know is a skin but was wondering what's the best way to create one is. Also, do skins also come with the ability to customize the site to have certain functions? Because I have seen sites like halopedia which seems to be running on MediaWiki but have a lot of different kinds of functions and all that. )
I want to create some sort of email system for my thing (although I could just maybe use another service which would be easier)
These are pretty much the main things that I want but there are some smaller things that I can ask how to do some other time as they are not mandatory right now. Here are the details for the hosting service that I use for the website just to give you guys a better understanding of my situation here.
I am using Bluehost as the hosting service and cPanel as the file management system
The website is currently on a shared hosting plan and the best one that I could get without spending a lot a month.
I used Softaculous to download MediaWiki onto my website.
One of the main things that I have been having trouble with is installing Parsoid to install the VisualEditor extension onto the site. The problem is that to install Parsoid you need Node.js which I can’t install on my hosting service because it is shared hosting. However I tried following the instructions on the page that shows you how to do it using Heroic but have been having trouble with that too.
If you wait a few weeks, MediaWiki 1.35 will be released with a PHP implementation of Parsoid.

I am currently using bluehost as a webhost for my website, but I am not a fan of their email client. When I log into their mail client it presents me with three options to use and they are all rather unappealing (visually)...
Is there a way that I can make mail.MYURL.com and create my own custom mail client?
I have searched the web and couldn't find anything, but there should be a way...
If I needed to I could use php & javascript, but I have no idea where to start.
You can. There are a lot of webmail implementation (in form of web apps, think Wordpress) such as Squirrelmail or Roundcube.
Serverfreak does a visual comparison of popular webmail clients here:
http://wow.serverfreak.com/2011/webmail-squirrelmail-roundcube-horde/
Those webmails typically requires server side scripting (such as PHP) and POP3/IMAP support to retrieve your mail. Both are pretty much standard features for a webhost. So if you are comfortable of setting up web apps, things shouldn't be that hard.
That said you're using Bluehost which happens to use CPanel. CPanel offers various webmail options readily chosen at your disposal.
See Bluehost official guide on how to use them:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/webmail
Alternatively, since you are concerned about visual appeal, you can always use desktop e-mail client such as Thunderbird/Outlook, or even use popular webmail such as GMail (via Google Apps) and Windows Live Mail (via Live hosted mail) mapped to your own domain name.

I'm working on a quick prototype, and i would like to persist data locally for not having to write Server Side Code.
My application, store data on the $scope, and i have a form on my pages wich add more data on my $scope. But when i'm navigating on the application, i'm loosing my data.
Is it possible to store the data on the session ? and how ?
Is it easier to store data on Google chrome local datastore ?
In advance thanks.
You can store data in javascript using either cookies or the local storage feature introduced in HTML5.
Cookies aren't very intuitive: they have a very tight space limitation, and in order to store any possible javascript type you'll have to do some serializing.
Local storage is much easier to use, but will only be available to users running a HTML5 compliant web browser.
If you can afford to get your users to use HTML5, then check out this page:
http://diveintohtml5.info/storage.html
If not, you'll have to use cookies:

I haven't been able to find my own works on that field, however I just found this:
https://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js
If your users are mostly IE or modern web browser users, this lib seems to be perfect for you.

I am working on a basic mysql application that will essentially take all of the data from a database and display it, with the only real user interaction being the ability to sort them. Since there is no place where the user will be able to input any data, I feel relatively safer creating this. The main issue I am worried about is when the app will have to log into the server. I created a separate user name on the server, and limited the privileges in the database so that particular user may only "select" data. I fear that this still exposes the location of the server. Should I encrypt this step? Are there any other security concerns I should guard against given this scenario?
If you need more information, I will happily add it on here.
UPDATE
It may be useful to know that the main function of this is to catalog merch for the purpose of commerce. None of the info in this database will be private. The commerce will occur with the help of a third party ecommerce site. I want to access the database using php mysqli and display it as html. The site is on a shared commercial server.
You should still use prepared queries for making the SQL queries in case the system later needs to support more kinds of queries (or if the system DB accounts are misconfigured or something similar.).
The location of your server doesn't need to be hidden, as long as it's sufficiently protected. You shouldn't rely on the attacker not knowing where the server is because they can usually figure that out. If your application knows the location of the server, it's safe to assume that the attacker can get it as well.
Instead focus your security on securing the server. Minimize the accounts on the server, ensure they have non-default (and non-trivial) passwords, make sure the software is up to date, etc.
