We been working on building a Japanese site for some time now. We finally finished off and are in the testing stage. Through out the development of the site we've been having trouble with way that Japanese characters display in our auto emails. The problem is, neither us nor programming we team work with are Japanese. And there is very little to no information about this in English.
We've had issues where.
garbled text show up in one or two fields of an email (title/subject/body) but displays fine in others.
garbled text show up in one email account type (yahoo) and not in another (gmail).
Recently one point which really puzzled us, is that we have some auto emails (specific emails from our system to our users relating to topic) that show up fine in all email account types. Yet some emails generated for the same system with basically the same mix of character types have errors. Could this be and error on our part in the incorrect implementation of a coding method that has worked before?
I'm running cPanel on my server and I use cPanel's EasyApache3 to install Apache and PHP with GD support. When cPanel compiles PHP with GD support, it doesn't compile it with JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support. One of my clients is requesting this to be installed on our servers.
How would I do this? Can I enable this after compiling? Do I have to modify certain files to make sure cPanel compiles GD properly?
is it possible to configure so, that it would be possible to receive only in Latin and Cyrillica written mails? No Chinese, Japanese, etc. characters, I mean.
After the installation, one problem is that Mysql doesn't have some international character sets /collation included such as Big5, gbk, ujis which are mostly for Asian language.Is this normal for Cpanel installation? I got a response from Cpanel stating this is a default setting for Mysql. Because we have lots Asian customers, it there any way can include new international character set /collation without reinstalling Cpanel?
There is a requirement by the customer In order to display latin characters correctly in the UI, we need to add charset information in httpd.conf file.
We have added the AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in httpd.conf.
Even after adding the above charset in httpd.conf the changes was not reflecting.
And there was a reply by the customer that : Even after adding those lines to httpd.conf file, I am not getting characters (like ö, ä, ü) properly sent to my application.
This works perfectly fine in my local system where I am not using apache web server. But fails when I deploy the same code to QA, where the Apache webserver is used.
We just had a new dedicated server with FreeBSD + Cpanel.

My OS is FreeBSD 6.2 and I use Sendmail as software to send the e-mail. When I sent a french letter, specials character will display as é. Is there a way to fix it?
I administrate a server with IIS 6 on it running Windows 2003 server. The problem is the person is does the webpages uploads webpages onto the server and when viewing them in the browser you see weird characters. The default encoding used is ISO, so when I change it to UTF-8 the characters go away and it looks normal. Now I know I can have him go into each page and add a meta tag to tell it to use UTF-8 but he has thousands of pages.
I'm seeing this in my HTTP Headers in a javascript widget I'm serving. Is there a way to disable chunked transfer encoding, either in PHP or my htaccess file? I have reason to believe it's a workaround for an IE bug.
I've seen this header being sent by a small number of visitors. I suppose it's due to some personal antivirus or firewall, as Norton Internet Security strikes out the Accept-Encoding header too (in a different fashion though - it asterisks them out).
I have a video site (just embedding) that is pretty small right now. I do not need a dedicated server just yet.
I am currently using westhost and they do not support the typical suite of video software needed to convert videos to flvs. I would like to know if there are any reliable hosts with good support that offer installation of the following software on a shared vps:
I would like to know if there's any way we could reduce "conversion times" for videos while converting them with "mencoder" and "x264 codec"?
Is it possible to cluster 2-3 or more servers (Quad core/8GB RAM) so that I can reduce the conversion timings effectively?
The original video sizes are around 500-700MB on an average and I'd like to convert them using mencoder in x264 codec @ 500Kbps bitrate and 2pass settings.
Ofcourse it'll take atleast 1-2hours to encode 1 such video at these settings on a 'single' such server, so is there a way to reduce the conversion times to around 10-15minutes/video by using "parallel encoding" with x264 codec?P.S: I know how to form a cluster, using beowulf/rocks, etc...what I need help with is 'using' the cluster with x264 codec
Since updating to plesk 12, we haven't been able to back up the server; even tough sites are backed up individually - apparently backups are ok, haven't had the need to try them.
The troubling domain is a huge joomla site which was backed up w/o trouble through previous versions of plesk 9, 10 and 11.
This is the error message at the server's backup admin:
ERROR: (server object 'server') Runtime error: The check dump failed with code '1'. The dump can contain invalid data! at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1022. ERROR: (server object 'server') The dump have been invalidated by check-dump operation
WARNING: (hosting object 'domain.com') Encoding::encode: source UTF-8 encoding declared, but invalid UTF-8 sequence occurred. Falling back to ISO-8859-1
I have an address that receives hundreds and hundreds of e-mails a day. It's an address people aren't supposed to use (basically noreply@mydomain.com), but people do. I'd like to stop being the guy that gets these and routes them as appropriate, but we can't just turn it off and cause a hard bounce, because that will bewilder too many people who don't get that replying to noreply@mydomain.com is a bad idea. (Our website sends out notifications to people. A lot of people reply for various strange reasons, and we also get a lot of autoresponders sending us junk.)
I'm a Linux admin, so I'm a bit out of my league -- this needs to be configured on our Exchange box.
What I'd really like is an auto-responder for this address that will tell people that they e-mailed a mailbox that no one uses, and give them directions on how to contact a real person if need be.
However, fully half of the e-mails we receive are people's auto-responders. Is an Exchange auto-responder going to reply to their auto-responder? This will completely bewilder people.
And if this will auto-respond to auto-responders, is there a cleaner solution here? Again, it's got to be Exchange, but I'm a Postfix guy, so I have very little experience here.

--l84GRnX3029819.1188924134/debian-- How would I solve this problem as it's making our server load skyhigh 24/7.
Additional info about system: > Debian Linux, latest kernel > Sendmail (we've tried postfix, exim, with same results) > Non cPanel system.
I am not exactly sure where to post this so I figured I would try here.
I have quite a few customers I host on a dedicated server. I would like to offer them the ability to backup any kind of data they want to on the server as well.
I am looking for a simple program that i could distribute to my customers and all they have to do is:
Install the application Type in UN/PW I provide them Select the directories they would like automatically uploaded Select the frequency of the automatic upload
Does anyone know of good software I can use that is that simple to use?
Upon setting up, I found out that outgoing mails from any email addresses from my domain name cannot be copied to another email account. I've tried scripting on the client software (e.g)outlook. it works. but then again, it only applies on the client side if the scripted client is present. this would not work if the email is sent from the web based login.
is there a work around for it?
If there isn't, does any one know of any webhosting co. that allows that?
Situation is, my current host does allow it. Due to small amount of disk space allocated, reliability of the service, technical support and cost, we therefore have decided to switch to another host.
I see on the net many scritp demos that get auto-reseted every X hours (all data is reverted, and site files reset). Is there a script out there that does this I can download?
Are there any hosting solutions that offer expanding bandwidth and space as their base packages increase. I was with Dixiesys for over 7 years, and had a decent package, but it was getting a bit outated. When I enquired, they required me to either pay more for a mid-grade package, or give up portions of my package for an equivalantly priced low-grade package. I'd rather a company automatically upgrade accounts as they upgrade their base packages, rather than being told to piss off when the package becomes outdated.
I am wondering does anyone know of either a program/software, and/or script that will auto build a dedicated server? For example, someone purchase my product as soon as it is verified than it starts the building process and builds the server to what they asked for, partitioning, etc.?
