Web Hosting :: What's Shell Access?

Shared Hosting With Shell Access
I know there are so many similar threads related to this issue in this forum, I know but my situation is a bit different from other guys, please read the following lines,

I've got a forum with approximately 100 users concurrently, now I'm looking for a shared hosting with relatively high simultaneous MySQL connections number at least 50 and also allows Shell access to dump or restore the MySQL database. but the main problem is lots of US hostings do not host Iranian I dunno US government has problem with Iran's government but I can't understand what's my guilt in this debate?

How To Transfer Huge Files Without Shell Access
transfer a client's site files (over 220 MB) to my server. The client does not use cPanel or have SSH access.

FTP is horribly tedious. I have created the account on my server and have SSH enabled. I have a feeling I can use wget to download the files to the account's home directory, but I am not sure of the correct syntax to recursively download all the directories and the files.

Invalid Command 'php_flag' - After Recompiling PHP & Apache?
After I recompiled Apache and PHP using easyapache from cPanel, we started getting all these weird errors. I'm getting a few people now complaining about not being able to enable register_globals. I believe (after searching) that having this enabled is a big security risk and shouldn't need to be used. However, some people apparently where using .haccess and php_flag to enable this. I did find on a few places that people can create their own php.ini file to emulate what was previously done with .htaccess?

After searching around..

I found out that Register Globals can become a security risk based on the scripts configuration that uses it. This feature normally can be enabled via .htaccess using the glad "php_flag register_globals On". Creating a file called php.ini inside the directory of the site with the flag "register_globals=on" I believe will also enable this option. To enable this option on a global scale, you can edit '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini', but its not recommended.

However.. We are unable to get the php.ini concept to work. Is there something I need to do to enable/allow users to do this for their account?

Any 'easy' Smtp / Pop / Imap Package Or Installer W/o Having To Read Up On Exim Etc.?
any 'easy' smtp / pop / imap package or installer w/o having to read up on exim etc.?

I want an email server quickly, w/o having to become an expert...

I'd go w/ a hosted service, but I open allot of pop3 connections... (program I use downloads one email, closes connection, reopens... repeat)...

There's lots of cookbooks out there, but they require quite a bit more time commitment (and configurability) than I want / need.

Is there any dumbified installs available? I tried with webmin, but even that wants me to manually configure a postfix / imap server bridge.=

Qmail - I'm Afraid I Wasn't Able To Deliver Your Message
Basically a client has been getting really bad email problems with their email. They keep getting the standard qmail msg back from several emails. I originally thought this msg was being returned as it was an invalid receipients address, but they are assuring me that this is not the case?

Anyway the basic msg they are getting is:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at p16489287.pureserver.info.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out ....

BoxVPS = Useless | STAY AWAY From This 'company'
URL: http://www.boxvps.com

Their recent promotion thread:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=889733

Extremely non-professional service. Took them 48 hours to setup my VPS. Also had to create a support ticket. And when it was finally delivered, there was no DirectAdmin on it. Specially disturbing, since I actually paid for a monthly license.

Not to mention that their responses are very vague. They claim to apply the promotions (triple disk space, double bandwidth) 24 hours after they setup the VPS. I have no idea why they do that.

Moreover, they have false advertising on their VPS page (Instant Activation..where it should read 'We don't activate your VPS unless you create a support ticket).

A speedtest from the VPS showed that the VPS is capable of bursting to a maximum of 10mbps, while average speed is barely 2mbps.

Stay away from these guys. They're potential scammers. They WILL scam.. sooner or later.

Looking For Host That Supports $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']
I am finishing up on my clients site and the ecommerce software we use has an option for search engine friendly URL's but your server must support $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] . My client is hosted by GoDaddy and my host (HostGator) does not support it unless you go dedicated.

I need $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']
Dedicated IP, PHP, MySQL, .htaccess support
preferably CPanel - not Plesk
Less than $120 / year

I am looking for a well established company like the ones I previously mentioned because my client wants peace of mind and I don't want to screw him over.

What Is The Reverse Command For 'mount --bind'
A few days ago, when installing TUX, I have mounted the virtual hosting directory to var/www/html/mywebsite.com (that's an empty directory I created in order for TUX to work) via:

mount --bind /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/ /var/www/html/mywebsite.com/

command.....

After figuring out that TUX has some problems I reverted everything but not this mount --bind command.. What is the reverse command for this, so everything will come back to the point which they were before?

IIS 5 - Cant Access Page From IE7 But Can Access From Firefox
I found a great little app called ID Shutdown Manager which bascially lets you do stuff like wake on LAN, Shutdown, Log Off etc.

The App also has a cgi script which you can call from a web server so you get a web interface to the program.

This is exactly my reason for getting the app as I just wanted to host a web page where I could login from the internet and wake on lan my media PC.

Ok so...

The app gives you all the iis or apache setup instructions and tells you to place the cgi script which is actually a .exe into the scripts folder and then enable basic authentication for it.

Done.

So if I navigate to <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe its supposed to give me a user / pass prompt and then when login successful I see the app and can wake on lan etc.

ok I have got this to work

on the actual machine where server is running I can access it in IE7 by localhost etc.. and it works

However when I try to access from another PC in my lan by typing <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe I get a nice little message saying the content cannot be displayed you may require to insall a program or something to display it.

If I try to access the page from firefox on same remote PC, it works!

I can also access page from outside my LAN, it works on my N95 browser.

Also I have had friends try it from firefox from the Internet and they say it works as well.

Forgot to mention I am running on port 8081 as I already have other servers running on 8080 and 80 (one is my router and the other server installed itself from setup.exe and I dont know what server its using)

I have also tried latest apache server as well as some other free one. Both have the same effect. Ok in firefox, not in IE.

One would think its a problem with the cgi file not compatible with IE7 however, I even tried to go to default page setup in IIS <SERVER>:8081 and I get the same message. So at this point the server hasnt even tried to access CGI or prompt for Basic Authentication.

I tried googling and not much luck. I read something about CSS and when I view source of failed web page from IE7 it mentions something about CSS so dont know if this is it?

I configurated limits at /etc/security/limits.conf for group "shell".

When I attached user to group shell, limits work well, but he still can look

Is there any method, software to limit user to acces only their home directories?

Don't Use Bluehost
So when you got a website for a service and it says "$6 per month for 3 years" would you take that as they charge you monthly, $6?

Well Bluehost doesn't. They charged me $250 and I didn't realize what they were doing until the charge went through.

I called within 24 hours and spoke to billing. I cancelled the entire service. She said it was only a "hold" on my account and she would make the hold credit me back and it would be done within a few hours and that I would receive an email from her confirming. Well, I got another confirmation email NOT a we are cancelling the service email.

Then, one $250 charge dropped off... AND TWO MORE APPEARED.

In one of the confirmation emails they sent there was an email address for the help desk. So I emailed this to them. I am not speaking to them on the phone. I want it in writing this time. Two seconds after I sent the email I got an auto response telling me they don't read the email and I must formally put in a ticket.

I didn't think I would be able to since my account was supposed to be cancelled. Well, it did let me log in. She didn't cancel it and if she did she went and put it back in again twice.

DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE.

Diss'd By Ipowerweb
After 3 and 1/2 years of using an ipowerweb shared server for my site, they have decided to no longer provide the needed PHP extensions. They no longer have these extensions enabled.

dom dom-xslt dom-exslt xslt xslt-sablot
swf gd jpeg png xpm ming
imap kerberos mbstring mbstr-enc-trans mbregex
mcrypt safe-mode

I don't need the language extensions, but without the encryption and image extensions my site is "broken" and I was hoping to use more XML this winter. I am looking for another LAMP host with these extensions enabled.

What's Bandwidth Worth?
So I run a small music forum site. We used to have the ability for our users to download music track sets. We had over 100 files that are generally around 80MB and the users could add more so our space requirements would increase over time.

We initially set this up with dreamhost.com (unlimited bandwidth/space) but they eventually asked us to stop using the space as a data repository and wanted to charge $1 per GB transferred (which at that time was about $100-120/month).

The Problem:

This is something our users want and would probably pay for. I'm sort of asking for advice on how to approach this problem. Need to figure out how we could set this up and what to charge the users for downloading the music files (price per file, monthly plans, etc). Considering we want to keep it cheap enough that users will pay and the hosting costs would probably rise with the demand and exposure of the program. What sort of hosts should I be looking for?

Downloading And Streaming.... Use's Up The Same Mb?
I have a friend who we were debating about this.

He says he called up the internet company and upgraded his monthly plan to 60 gig or downloading a month, because he loves watching steaming videos(not youtube) im talking about actual movies.

They told him if he downloaded a 700mb movie or if he watched the exact same movie it would use up 700mb

So according to them downloading or streaming uses the same mb.

I found this hard to believe. But i have no wa of proving it.

What is the answer?

VLAN Routed IP's
So I have a bunch of IP's that are routed a VLAN a bunch of machines are on which is great. They can be put on any machine, but the problem right now is it is taking up to 4 hours for them to route from one machine to another (I am doing it one IP at a time not by blocks)

The process of adding and removing ip's is being done through cPanel's WHM. The reasoning for this is due to ARP on the router for the specific IP. This is a big issue if you're looking to migrate IP's from one machine to another that contain customers this is a long wait.

Now from the datacenter I was told you're going to need to wait the 4 hours for the refresh. Now what's strange is I was also told virtuozo apparently can swap ip's to other boxes without issues because it apparently it has a mechanism in place to release the ip's from the router/switch by communicating to it so the old arp is gone. I also asked someone using OpenVZ and they said theirs was instant as well to swap between boxes.

So is there a special command I should be issueing to get the router/switch to drop the IP instantly? Or any suggestions on how to get this to be more instant than ~4 hours for an IP to route to the correct machine.

OpenVZ - HN Can't Ping VE
I'm running my own OpenVZ server with a few VPS's running on it and have a small network issue.

I can't ping any VE from the HN. All the other networking is working ok (strangely I can ping the HN from the VE) apart from this. It's a simple setup with one network card connected to the internet.

OpenVZ the latest stable version running on CentOS 5.2

I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall problem but is something to do with arp or routing and one of the settings in sysctl.conf

Has anyone else seen this?

Lunarpages - It's A Big Truck
Lunarpages - it's a big truck

I've been helping a friend with a site hosted at Lunarpages for a few years, a very low traffic business site in a shared hosting account, no real complaints.

But 48 hours ago they got an odd email from Lunarpages describing the relocation of their server to a new datacenter, which involved 3-4 hours of downtime to drive the server from LA to San Diego, plus another hour or so of setup.

Now this was confusing because I thought that the internet was not a big truck -- it's a series of tubes, right? In fact, I thought that the whole point of the internet was not having to move your data by truck. But hey, this is an inexpensive shared account, so maybe Lunarpages does move all their data by truck. Kinda short notice on that, but okay, fine. A couple hours downtime.
The website and email go dead at noon. The exact time was not announced in the notice, and mid-day mid-week seems like an odd time to deliberately schedule downtime, especially when it involves a long drive in traffic on the 5 freeway. But it is an inexpensive account, so... we wait.

And wait.

And wait.

Six hours later, we contact Lunarpages support asking what's up with the server. This being my friend's business website, business email, gone for most of the day. Was there an accident on the freeway? Did the truck driver get lost? Did the data end up in a cul-de-sac in Orange County? Were they stopped while making a run for the border?

An hour later, we finally hear back on the ticket -- Lunarpages hasn't heard from their "admins" (presumably due to a bad battery in their CB radio) but they hope to have things migrated "soon."
So we wait.

Eleven hours after the site and email went down, we send a reply on the ticket asking a few more questions. 1) Any update on that migration? 2) Could you explain this whole deal with the truck driving the data from city to city? 3) Do you have any compensation for ridiculous downtime?
An hour later, the Lunarpages reply: Migration done soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. No compensation at all, especially for "scheduled" downtime.

As of now, the server is still down and has been offline for about 14 hours. While I do hope the driver of the truck is okay, I have no such benevolent feelings for Lunarpages. When (if??) the site comes back up, we're transferring to a host that doesn't rely on the the LA freeway system to migrate their data. I hear there's this newfangled "network" thing the kids are in to. We'll probably try that out instead.

Lunarpages sure is cheap. And most of the time, they work okay. But you should probably avoid them if you value advance scheduling of downtime, rapid support, clear communication, or reliable access to your website and email.
