I've just gotten a job at a newer webhosting company. I myself have personal pet pieves regarding webhosts. I want to know what turns you off a host the most. For me its Customer Service, Overselling and slow server/support response time.
Its causing big problem at my friend's site, it often leads to 500, 501 and 502 pages, earlier some one mentioned even fcgi could be reason for the error pages as it might show error page if php file takes longer time to load,
so I would like to to turn off fcgi at his site, he uses hypervm-lxadmin, I couldn't find an option when I searched, may be I have missed it, can u guide me through how to solve this issue
and I would like to know if turning off f-cgi will it cause any problem to the site, such as tech, issue to be fixed
Running Apache 2.2.2 and PHP 5.2.5, and my error_logs are filling up with PHP notices. I'd like to turn this feature off, but I must be missing something here. I've edited the php.ini and set error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE, and reloaded apache, but I still get the same php notices over and over again in the httpd error log.
I have a website where people perform a number of tasks, saving some data to temporary session files. If the user is idle for a certain amount of time, then performs an action, his/her work will be gone.
I'd like to set the sessions to never expire, so that only a browser close would delete the temporary files.
I've tried looking around in the IIS manager, but I cannot find a way to do this.
My webhost's autoresponder does not keep track of who it has auto-responded to. Hence it will auto-respond back to the same person twice.
Some emailer might send me an email (most likely spam) and I would auto-respond. But that emailer also has a dumb auto-responder and response back to me. I would auto-respond back; it would auto-respsond back forever.
I'm afraid to turn on an "Out-of Office" auto-responder because if that happens, I would have a billizion emails in my inbox upon my return.
Is there a smart auto-responder that tracks who it has responded to and auto-repsonds to the same person only once?
Dreamhost accounts have PHP register_globals turned on by default. I tried to override that and have register_globals turned off by putting this line
register_globals = Off in a php.ini file placed at the web root. But phpinfo() still shows register_global as on. How do I turn off register_globals in Dreamhost?
Server version: Apache/2.2.8 compiled by latest stable easyapache3
Default PHP Version (.php files) 5 PHP 5 Handler cgi PHP 4 Handler none Suexec on
Selected php5 handler to be CGI through WHM . Did not choose mod_suphp while compilation.
I have set register_globals off server-wide through WHMs php configuration editor. Now need to activate it for one account. I have tried :
# creating php.ini file at the required folder with register_globals on # adding several combinations php_flag, php_admin_value, php_value etc with register_globals as seen from several posts here at the .htaccess file at the required folder. # adding it to httpd.conf
Every time, the phpinfo page shows the loaded configuration file as /usr/local/lib/php.ini and register_globals is Off.
I am in the process of fighting a Hosting company on a dedicated server. It was turned off without notice a couple of months ago. They said I had not paid last years bill for this server (10 months ago). When I sent them the paypal confirmation number from last year finally they agreeed but said I owed an inflated 2008-2009 bill. The first bill I got was when the server was suspended. The bill increased over 20%. In order to get my clients back online I paid the increased bill but sent the initial price guarantee and asked for a refund of the difference. What I got was a half apology and the double talk below. I switched hosting companies and asked for a pro-rated refund and even though the server is paid up until Sept 2009 they have suspended the server. I am going to leave the hosting companies name out.
"Dear Mark,
As explained by Tom, the amount you paid is the amount that was due.
Since you originally purchased your server, our costs have risen by approximately 46%. The increase in price for your server only represents approximately 16%. While in the past, we have been able to absorb price increases and not pass them along, unfortunately, on this occasion we had no choice but to pass along part of the increase - the increase applied is just over half the increase we have personally seen since the start of this year. We have been able to keep the increase low through additional cost savings and reducing our profit margins, but, there is a limit to that and we unfortunately hit with the latest increase we've been hit with.
The issue with your server earlier this month was due to human error. We do not have any due invoices from 2007 (any unpaid would have been passed to collections), and as we are human, have gotten into the habit of simply looking at the day and month. One of my billing staff members alerted me that your invoice was overdue, believing it was a 2008 invoice due 1st August 2008 and requested that I authorise a disconnection. I then looked at it and also missed the 2007 date. Tom unfortunately does not have full access to billing details and cannot correct (nor view) errors such as that.
In terms of the invoicing - the system expected a recurring payment, through the Paypal subscription, to occur automatically and this is why no invoice was generated. As your invoice last year was manually paid, there was no subscription to update and pay. As a result, I had to manually update your account to reflect the payment details and manually generate the invoice. The invoice in your account when you paid the invoice correctly reflected the $1274.20 value. One of the emails quoted above, which should have been received after the emailed invoice, stated "generated the correct invoice for the 2008 to 2009 billing period.". I am sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
im running a site where users can submit their comic books excerpts or works.
but sometimes there are users that upload copyrighted works.
how to deal with this problem? I have the DMCA legal notice that I copied from other websites and fixed it to suit mine.
I remove any copyrighted material upon request.
I cannot monitor all posting 24/7.
so which hosting, location(us, amsterdam, netherlands?), and other precuations should i take ? is it okay to copy legal stuff from other similar site and change around the wording to fit my site?
i run a very small hosting company (about a dozen clients) on a windows 2003 server with Helm and the latest version of Smartermail (www.smartertools.com) for my email server.
overall it works well but i have been experiencing problems lately when users on my email server try to send email to users at roadrunner (@nycap.rr.com). the messages always get delivered but sometimes they take hours to get delivered.
when i look in my mail server logs i keep seeing: "RSP: 421 #4.4.5 Too many connections to this host. CMD: QUIT"
so basically the message gets rejected by the roadrunner mail server and then when the server tries again to send the message it goes through. although sometimes it takes several attempts.
i have gone back and forth with roadrunner about this. according to their pages it looks like i am being affected by their inbound rate limiting policy but they SWEAR that there is nothing on their end preventing me from getting my messages through to their server. i have tried calling them, and emailing them at several different numbers and addresses and they all give me some BS answer.
my clients are really unhappy with the fact that their messages sometimes take hours to deliver, and i really don't know where to turn to get this resolved.
i don't have this problem sending messages to any other provider or domain, just roadrunner and unfortunately most of my clients communicate regularly with roadrunner users.
I am using nginx exclusively for my websites/php stuff and I do not need apache anymore. I want to switch off Web Server (Apache) service permanently (see screenshot 1). But somehow or something turns it always back on. I am getting a lot of apache memory warnings lately. I just want to turn it off.
an email notification for this is coming through every day. It says ended successfully so no errors...
Running task: C:Pleskadmininweb_statistics_executor.exe Started: Fri Jun 19 01:49:01 2015 Ended successfully: Fri Jun 19 01:49:09 2015
If i go to Server -> Scheduled Tasks and look for it, it cannot be found anywhere. Also scheduled tasks only shows system users, not 'Plesk Administrator' as the kb articles refer to.
So why does it still say Connection: Keep-Alive? I know that if its off, it should say Connection: Closed. And where did the timeout=1 and max=100 come from?
My httpd.conf Timeout 90 KeepAlive Off KeepAliveTimeout 15 KeepAliveRequests 10
HTTP headers is reporting Keep-Alive: timeout=1, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive
Is there a good dedicated server company that has fast guaranteed turn ups, allows colocation, a private network, and is outside the midwest?
I want to colo my database server(s), firewalls, and switches but then use dedicated servers as web servers. Hopefully allowing me to add web servers very quickly as needed (someone getting /.'d). I would want the webservers on a private network only.
Does anyone know how to turn off auto renew on a NetSol hosting account. I have very bad experience with their customer service. Im trying to do this from last month and still no luck.
Simple... new Plesk 12 includes this fancy feature to tell me which Wordpress plugins and themes need updating (because I obviously can't do this myself). But maybe I don't want to update some plugins (because they've been customized and changed)... how do I....
STOP Plesk 12 from sending me Wordpress update notification emails EVERY DAY!???? The auto-update is off... and EVERY day is sends me (and all of those clients) an ugly email about their Wordpress installations. How do I turn this OFF?
I created a New Client Default Domain by copying plesk's original Default Domain.This template is for clients we move from older versions of plesk up to servers with plesk 12.x. Under resources for that "Service Plan Name"
I have Sites published with Presence Builder set to 0 and.Allow customer to create trial Presence Builder websites. Not checked.When I log in as the client I still see Presence Builder with edit Website.I also confirmed the correct plan was picked for that subscription by picking the new "New Client Default Domain" and under add-on plans I picked "remove"
But when I log in as the "client" to see what they would see I see Presence Builder and Edit Website available.How do I get rid of that selection?I can see a client clicking on it and basically over writing their current website.
