I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one!
I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage).
This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing.
I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same.
keep a local and remote backup of certain subscriptions or at least have a full server backup on FTP.
I have a livedrive.com reseller account which allows be to quite cheaply add 512GB of remote storage accessible through SFTP, FTP and WebDAV. I created this partition and added it as a server-level FTP repository in Plesk 12 (latest build). During testing I added a firewall exception for traffic on the FTP IP-address and figured that I had to put the FTP repository in passive mode to properly connect.
After setting this up I ran a configuration only backup to test if everything was working properly. The backup was created properly and can be accessed through the FTP as well: success!
My second test was running a full server backup through the manager. The ±40GB file was created properly (I could see my disk usage increase and decrease through new relic monitoring) and supposedly transferred to the FTP repository according to Plesk.
When I look at the FTP or the Plesk Backup Manager both indicate that the full server backup is 0kb in size.
After this issue I figured: I really don't care about a full server backup, I mostly care about a specific set of subscriptions that have new content on a daily basis and need to be backed up properly as well. Those subscriptions are already on a daily or weekly backup scheme that places backups on the local repository.
What I would eventually like to do is create daily or weekly backups on the local repository and create weekly or monthly backups on the FTP repository for those specific subscriptions, but unfortunately you cannot (by default) setup Plesk to automatically backup to local and remote based on different or even the same intervals.
And this is the more important question: How to be able to create/setup a backup automation that keeps local and remote backups for the same or different intervals? Either through the Plesk interface, a plugin or a script?
Running Plesk 12 on CentOS 6.6
Update:
Just tried running the same server wide backup, but this time as a multivolume backup. This resulted in the following error:
what are all the different types of websites? i know there's e-commerce, forums, blogs, personal and etc. what are some other types of websites people start?
Is it possible to setup ftp accounts that have the ability for the users to view files on the server and upload their own files, but not download anything from the server? If so, how would this be done, if not, then as a 2nd option, do most hosting companies provide the option to disallow downloads on an ftp account if you need to do so, but allow uploads?
The issue I'm having is that mod_deflate is compressing binary data, outputted from PHP scripts as well (undesirable).
The script sends a Content-Type: application/octet-stream header, so I'm guessing that mod_deflate is simply not looking at headers generated by the script before compressing output.
I've even changed the default MIME type for Apache to application/octet-stream but to no avail.
Note that static content which has a defined MIME type doesn't get compressed - it's only the output generated by scripts.
Also, there is no defined MIME type for the .php extension.
I've also tried to disable the filter for certain directories, however, Apache doesn't seem to have an opposite to AddOutputFilterByType (although it does for AddOutputFilter (RemoveOutputFilter)). Also, I can't seem to stick in a negative <Directory> command either, which is a pain :/
i run an Internet radio station, and my current web host doesn't support the MIME Types i need for people to be able to click on the links to listen to it
so im looking for a new web host with cpanel preferably. and supports these MIME Types
I'm running plesk 11.5.30 and I'm having an issue with the new word doc format (.docx) being recognized as a zip file. I've read several posts that explain what mime types to add, and I've found the spot where I need to enter them. The part I'm not sure about is whether the custom mime types field is an addition to the current mime types or a replacement list. Does that field just needs the new mime types or a full list?
I have been working on an online shop locally from my machine, using Visual Web Developer and SQL server.
This is working fine, but now its at the stage were i need to show a client. In order to do this i need to upload it to our servers.
What i cant get my head round is the connection to the sql server, do i need to upload this too, or can i somehow point the connection string to the sql server sitting on my local machine...
Is it easier just to upload an sql server? how would i go about this?
I have a question if it is possible to use my local server as database storage and even some uploaded files. I am planning to host my website even in a shared hosting server provided that I could used my local server as data storage.
I have a local web server that I want to make available outside of my local network of two computers. I configured NAT at my router, configured the firewall. I Typed the external IP and got nothing, while I still was able to access my web server by typing "localhost", I tried both IIS and Apache, but what is interesting is that fact that the other people can access my web server via that external IP, I just cannot access it from my local network.
I am using localhost as mysql server name on my config file. then, when I enter [url], the address will automatically change to[url]that obviously getting error. when I change the mysql server name from localhost to the server public IP, everything seems ok.
My sql is 4.1.x with php 4.4.7, is that any way I may use localhost instead of IP?
I found a socket available other than 80 which would not allow me to use. I set it in the conf file as 1800 and then go to apache/bin directory and load httpd.exe. When I go to the browser, I have to type in http://localhost:1800 for it to work once. If I close the browser and try again, or I try a php file, it says it can't find localhost. I have to stop httpd.exe and reload, then it will work once.
Do I have to find a way to use socket 80 for it to work?

I am using Windows XP Pro, and since I updated to Internet Explorer 7 I am having problems getting web sites to work on my PC in Internet Explorer using the local IIS web server. These web sites are using ASP and Access databases.
The two errors I get are:
Operation must use an updateable query.
or
Cannot modify the design of table 'TABLE_NAME'. It is in a read-only database. (they are not read only!)
Does anyone know how I can get this working so I can test my web sites locally before uploading them to the live sites?
How do you go about setting up virtual machines so that they can see sites hosted on the host machine?
I've got Virtual PC 2007 and the disk image that MS supply for testing IE6 on Vista machines and I'm having trouble accessing my local Apache server (set up with XAMPP). Until recently I was able to set the XP VM's LAN settings to use a proxy server with the IP address of the host machine, but I got migrated to ADSL2+ yesterday by my ISP and now that's no longer working.
To access my sites locally, I set up httpd.conf like this:
PHP Code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:PathToFolder" ServerName siteName.local</VirtualHost><Directory "C:PathToFolder"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all</Directory>
and then in Windows hosts file I add 127.0.0.1 siteName.local.
So what's the best way of getting the host and VMs to talk to each other?
