Hey Adrian,
As we discussed via email last week if you recall the problem I had with my new server and it throwing out the "500 Internal Server Error".
Well, just a heads up, the server I have is a brand new quad with the LATEST release of DirectAdmin (as I obviously had to install it from DA). Now DirectAdmin no longer allows FollowSymLinks in the .htacess file so you may encounter the same problem with new customers who have servers running the LATEST release of DirectAdmin. It's a very recent new revision.

From the DirectAdmin site:

Security - Recommended update to httpd.conf files via custombuild

    Hello,

    It's been discovered that it's more secure not to allow the FollowSymLinks option in apache. The only way to truly disable that item is to change the AllowOverride settings in the main httpd.conf. Without the change of the AllowOverride, anyone could simply re-enable in an .htaccess file.

    The catch with this change, is that any sites that currently have:

:Options FollowSymLinks

will throw an 500 Internal Server Error. The apache error log entry would look like:

[Thu Dec 08 03:25:56 2011] [alert] [client 1.2.3.4] /home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/.htaccess: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here

which would signify that the .htaccess has the FollowSymLinks option, which is no longer allowed to be used.

Since this change as the potential to break existing sites, we will not enable it for existing installs. However, new installs will have this option enabled.
The option is in the custombuild options.conf and is

secure_htaccess=yes

which, when set and you run

./build update
./build set secure_htaccess yes
./build rewrite_confs

you'll end up with a httpd-directories.conf symbolic link in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-directories-new.conf. When set to "no", it will link to httpd-directories-old.conf, which contain the old method of setting up the AllowOverride for the <Directory ..>

Versions entry:

FollowSymLinks is insecure.
SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is much better.

You said that I must of done something to the server settings but it's a default now in the new revision of DirectAdmin, just thought I'd let you know for any future customers of yours encountering the same issues.  ;)

Couple of modifications..  five wide on the videos, different top menu etc.

Hey Adrian,
I just went five wide on the videos on the index.
With the standard templates only being four wide the videos being viewed was set to eight on the top. Therefore I have two slots missing (9 + 10).
What .tpl would I edit to get the full ten viewing without having to hit the refresh button?

In your own time of course, 

Thanks,
