I have a question regarding status pages. Whilst setting up a new website, upgrading forum scripts etc what is the best way to redirect users?
I would like myself and one other person to have access to run the tasks, however I would like to redirect visitors to the website to a standby page whilst we are doing this.
What is the best method? .htaccess? IP based?
i've moved servers (joomla site).
only problem is that I'm on limited bandwidth internet, and i still have some really large files on the old server. can i transfer them to the new server without re-uploading them?
Im about to move servers as my old one was running so slow, but im worried about losing important emails in the change over. I remember reading something ages ago that said if you change a specific setting on the old server 24 hours before switching then when you switch the DNS will route to the new server quicker.
way, AVOID Stiletto Media web hosting. There support is useless and they have regular downtime, like 8-24 hours a WEEK. The servers are also incredibly slow. Dreamweaver constantly times out when trying to connect!)
I want to move around 20Gb of files from dreamhost hosting account with custom control panel to a cpanel VPS in another datacenter.
Is there anyway of transferring all the files to new host without downloading and uploading to the new host. Coz i have normal DSL and 20 GB downloading and uploading can take years.
There are some forum files CHMOD to specific values if you can transfer them without resetting them in new host also cool.
Can anyone give help? both servers have SSH and FTP
I get to know you can rar them and Wget it from the VPS.
But thats file by file.
Is there a way to move complete directory with wget command?
I have web site on one shared hosting. Now I want to move to another provider. However on first one I have around 500MB of emails which I would like to move also, because I only use web mail.
I found some instructions that I can copy Qmail's folders and emails and then restore them, but since this is something that providers will charge me for ($80 just for backup), I'm looking for another solution.
I was thinking that since both servers allow IMAP access, I could simply log in in one and another and then copy emails between folders.
- Would this work?
- When I log in with Microsoft Outlook, I only see "Inbox". I don't see "Sent" or other folders which I also have to copy. How to work around this?
Long story short, my web host is unreliable and after a down period of 3 days - I want to move my website to a new dedicated server.
Old Server - Fedora Core 6 with Plesk 8.1 (64 bit)
New Server - Cent OS 5 with Plesk 8.0 (Still to confirm version)
My problem is how to transfer all data from one server to the other? The most important item to backup are the emails, and the rest I can do manually. Ideally I would want to backup the entire server in a one, and upload it to the new one but I doubt that will be possible.
how to go about switching mail servers.
mail.domain.com is used as the MX record and is where users point their mail clients for POP/IMAP access. I'm obviously going to be relocating the record to a new IP.
My questions are:
In the interim period, can I have exim 'redirect' POP/IMAP connections to the new IP (for users), and can I have exim relay/forward (not sure on the term in this case) mail received from old DNS caches to the new mailserver IP?
I'm going to start moving all my resellers from one dedicated server to another.
I'm going to do it like this:
Suspend their account in whm, but instead of it saying account suspended, it will be changed to something such as "Account Transfer in Progress". This will prevent changes to db's, files etc which could be lost during the transfer.
Once all accounts have been transferred I will change nameserver IP's to new server. They can then use their accounts as normal on new server.
What I want to know is:
What will happen to emails that are sent while the accounts are suspended, will they bounce?
how I could transfer the accounts (150-200) with minimal downtime, I would be interested.
i want to move two servers into a new one,
and i need to prevent there are the same user name in the previous two servers,
so,i want to ask if any way that i can compare if there are the same users in two servers?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how you would physically move servers from one datacenter to another with minimal downtime?
The IP address is going to change, so the server will go off and then come back online with a new ip.
Just how much downtime is acceptable before customers get annoyed?
When is the best time to do it?
Move them yourself or courier or any other ways?
I am moving a couple clients over to my server tonight, but I wanted to make sure I took steps that they don't miss any e-mail that might be sent. It is my understanding that say the switch happens tonight at midnight. Any e-mails they did not download from the old server will be stuck on there correct? Because they would come in the next morning and hit outlook and download just from the new server?
Is there a set protocol for doing this move with minimal client hic-ups?
I currently have 2 DNS Servers with CPanel-DNSOnly Installed, used with CPanel's DNS Clustering options to store dns entries from CPanel web servers.
I am looking to buy a Windows server(probably with plesk), which i think will not support current CPanel DNSOnly Servers ?
What i need to do is
1. Migrate CPanelDNSOnly(which uses BIND) to TinyDNS on both servers
2. with a simple web-based management of dns entries(to give control to my clients, like DomainDNS.com)
3. and auto updating of DNS Entires from other CPanel and Windows servers, without conflicting same domain records from different servers (which i think can be solved by updating entires by Latest Modified date/time).
I am not an expert, and not really sure if i will be able to setup everything myself. here i need your help, guidence, and links to tutorials and help... From where should I start? What and How should I do? Should I consider hiring a System admin? any sugestions or reference for such admins?
We recently moved all our hosting accounts from our servers to new servers with a new host. In the process of this move, after moving all the domains and setting the nameserver ips to the new ips, none of the sites are pulling up. I changed the ip for all nameservers to the ones provided to me by the new host but we cannot figure out why the sites are not pulling up, he says everything on his end is fine? Talking about 100+ clients who have been down for over a day now after changing the nameservers and cannot figure out whats going on. All we did was set the ips on my current nameservers to the new ips below.
Now they are claiming they can bring the sites up, but none of the clients I have talked to can bring them up. Also I cannot bring up any domains or ping them from my home or work.
Example domains that are not working that were moved:
bluetongueskinks.net
pokemongamesnow.com
The 204.16.247.150/~username works fine.
See 204.16.247.150/~pokemon
The accounts transferred over fine in WHM. We were using a dns redirect in WHM on the old server before changing nameservers to make sure it pulled them all up fine.
ips for the nameservers 204.16.247.150 and 204.16.244.150.
If I used the PHP mediawiki script and I had10,000 wiki articles, and 2 million users were browsing my site which is hosted on two Dedicated servers that are P4 Quad Core 2.6GHZ 4GB RAM 100Mbit dedicated port with a load balancer, would my servers handle this amount of simultaneous users and how fast would each wiki article take to load when all these 2million users are online if each article was 300KB?
And what is the maximum number of users online at the same do you think these 2 servers could handle?
I'm moving a large, 4 gig site between 2 servers (both have cpanel... if that's an option). Is there a way to do it quickly and correctly? How would I transfer such a large site?

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In a costumer panel have a one database MSSQL, and assign to this DB 3 users, but the tab option "Users" don't work fot his costumer and show this error:
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃÂnea 807)
ACTUAL RESULT
Error Javascript:
TypeError: template is null
this.template = template.toString(); in protototype.js 8472831 (lÃÂnea 807)
EXPECTED RESULT
Show users in the tab users for database.
On my server, users can connect to any database as long as they have the database user and password. This makes it easier to hack any database on the server.
What I want to do is to make the users can only connect to their own databases and not other's.
I tried changing the localhost ip address but it didn't work ( I assume I didn't do it the right way)
This url:
live.sitening.com
Goes to:
s3.amazonaws.com
What i am wondering is how they do it. I want to do the same thing. I know about redirecting in .htaccess. But this doesn't look like a simple redirect.
Anyone know of a service that will allow an IP listed in "A record" to be redirected.
I have a client who has office based mail servers and some remote applications running and because of this their IT company has the nameservers. The NS entries cannot be changed
When I need to change A records, I then have to call the IT company, what I am hoping to achieve is have IT company set A record to xxx.xx.xx.xx and I can direct that to zz.zzz.zz.zz and change as needed.
I have a domain name websiteexample.com and its hosted with somebody, I have built a new website under a new domain .co.uk on a new server and need to redirect my .com to the .co.uk, how the best way to handle this with serach engines in mind, I dont want to loose my .com listing if possible, is a framed forward a good way?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to redirect all people who go to [url]to [url]
I've got this but it doesn't do anything: (and I did verify that the .htaccess works, as
I added garbage text and tested and got an error).
Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com/directory/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]
im hoping someone could help me im trying to redirect traffic to another server thats closer to them like google does when you type in .com you get redirectesd to your local one for me its google.ie. basically i have large content on the site and viewers in america can view it fine as its hosted there, do i have to host one in europe too so they can have a faster download speed for the website if so what is the best option for me and how can i redirect european views to the european server.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been trying for more than an hour to figure that out , but nothing....
I want to perform 2 types of redirects on my webpage/forum
I want all non-www to move to www.mysite.com/forums
and I also want the www.mysite.com to redirect to the /forums one...
All of those with WWW
I can make each work alone, but not these 2 together....
I'm currently using this in my .htaccess:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %[url]
rewriteRule ^(.*) [url]
I have this in my root (public_html) folder. However when you go to [url]
it redirects you to [url]
I'm already in the root. Why would it try to go to public_html/public_html?
What's the correct implementation of this .htaccess?
I've got a two domains (.com and .co.uk) at 123-reg and I've just got some new hosting. At the moment the .com points to the new hosting. How do I get the .co.uk to point there are well? The options I can find are changing nameservers (still don't understand this...) or to use web-forwarding.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have this as my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !(index.php) [url][L]
</IfModule>
It works in every way as desired.
Any url, [url]whatever will show up [url]
From index.php then I can create php generated websites that take pics, whatever from database.
However, I got an idea. What about if several domain names use the same index.php and the same database. So, it's like mirrors.
If I put the same .htaccess in other domain name, I got something unexpected though.
The url location actually change to [url]
Also the content of
PHP Code:
echo 'Server:' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "
";
echo 'Host:' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "
";
echo 'Request:' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
also change to domain.com, and /index.php?languageIndicator=lang_ar
I want an implicit redirect. Not an explicit redirect. To the outside world, people must think that they're indeed accessing http://otherdomainame.com/somepages and has no way to know that the page they're looking is http://domain.com/index.php?languageIndicator=lang_ar
How can I do that?
Of course, I can always copy index.php to all my domain names. But that's slow.
I have set up Apache as a SSL front end for our web applications deployed in GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Open Source Edition, how can I keep the original URL displayed in the web browser address bar unchanged after redirecting via Rewrite / ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
Reference 1:
RewriteEngine On
# If the request URL does not start with a slash (/), prepend it.
RewriteRule ^([^/].*)$ /$1 [E=redirect:y,N]
# If the request URL starts with more than one slash (/), keep only the first one.
RewriteRule ^//+(.*)$ /$1 [E=redirect:y,N]

We are wanting to move our forum from a subdomain where it lies currently to a subdirectory of the main site.
I know that this could be done via htacess, but I am wanting to make sure that we don.t lose any of the backlinks that we have coming in, or any page rankings that we have accumulated.
I have a htaccess rule, but I guess I need to know if
a) it is Correct
b) where to put it
Now please bear with me as I cant post urls, so this bit is quite difficult to get out... I have replaced the link elements with CAPPS, such as www becomes 3WS
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^3WS. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*).DOMAINHERE.TLD [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) HTTPCOLONSLASHSLASHDOMAINGOESHEREWITHTLD/%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Do i still need to point the subdomain at a folder with just this in, and then have a separate folder where the actual forum goes....
or do I put this in the htaccess, then also point at the directory to be the location for the /forum/
