Worst Case Senario For A Switch
Dec 17, 2008
What is the worst case scenario that one can face if they switched all the sudden from mysql 4.1 to mysql 5 ? Are both similar to each other? Anyone have experiences to share maybe as to what happened when you switched from 4.1 to 5?
I am kinda worried as to breaking up sites and wrecking havoc (i got bunch of wordpress blogs, vb forums, smf forum and phbb too)
Also what can one expect if moving from say 4.1 based hosting to version 5 based hosting ? Say if someone has backup from 4.1 version and they try to restore it on a host with 5?

Having made a switch from a Windows server to Linux to use Wordpress with better results, many external links are now pointing to invalid files because of case sensitivity.
Anyone know a formula e.g. (mod spelling & how to apply it) that can make it case insensitive?
If not, is there any harm in leaving two copies of each file e.g. cognitive-therapy and Cogntive-Therapy?

Using Red Hat EL4 with Apache 2
Is there any way to setup the server to ignore case-sensitivity? For example:
[url] is the same as
[url] or
[url]
Regardless of what is upper or lower case that it goes to the same directory.

Got a question about cases fans but know someone will have a laugh at me about this.
We have recently moved from 1u supermicro cases to matx cases to lower the general server cost. We realised that we wouldnt fill 2/3 of a rack if we used 1u (16 amps power would be hit) and it was just logical to use matx.
One worry is the heat factor so was looking at some powerful fans. The one place I know where to get them from is our dyanatron supplier but I am left very confused. You always see on fans they use 0.3amp/12v (for example) but how much does that work out to be at the final power usage? this goes for the same in watts. Are fans something you have to worry about in the long run or do they make a non exsiting dent into a racks amp usage?

I figured this would be the place to ask this question as the parts Im using are ex-server :-))..
Basically, I've purchased an old dual xeon board with matching xeons and I'm after a case. However the motherboard is EATX, and dosent seem to fit any of my ATX cases.
So, what case should I go for? Im trying to make it a cheap as possible.. Also I live in the UK.
I saw, this case. I figured for that price I cant go wrong. But will it fit an EATX?

upgrade fails often with severe issues.
My server had issues and it took me 3 days to solve it.
Plesk gives only paid support and not wanting to pay them more then the license I just bought 2 months ago I read the forum threads and found a work around that finally worked.
If you are considering to upgrade - please check out their forums for issues first as it's very common to have them...

I'm planning on replacing my current celery server with Core 2 Duo using PDSMI+ board. My colo contract is for a 1U, so I need a 1U case. I'm looking for a cheap 4 SATA hotswap case for it.
Anyone know of any other case that fits the requirement and is cheaper than the SC813MT-300C chassis? (looks like going price for this case is just over $250.)

I have a 6RU rackmount server cabinet, which I am putting a 1RU server inside.
I am wanting to put some fans in the metal cabinet, to bring in cool air, and let out warm air.
Does anyone know where you can find these sorts of fans?
Because the server inside the rack cabinet is closed, I can't use a fan with a Molex connector.
I haven't seen any case fans that use a usb connector, or just a normal power outlet connector.

I'm reeling right now after my shared hosting has been down for more than 24 hours (and this isn't one of the super-cheapies, it's in the $20-$30/month range)
In the future I'd really like to be protected against this kind of outage... I know downtime is inevitable with any host, so I'm wondering if it's possible to have some kind of failover system. Maybe I could get a second account with a bargain basement host (<$10/month) and keep it relatively up to date with a mirror of my site. But I don't know how I could manage the DNS so it went to the second host in the even of a failure on the first....
Does this kind of redundancy exist as some product in the industry that I don't know about (is that what "colocation" is?)? Is it likely that my host has the ability/willingness to redirect my domain (302 or something) in times of trouble like this?

I am moving one of my site from windows to centOS hosting. The problem is that the new server is case sensitive for folders and file names. I had all my folders in capital letters previously and also all my links inside pages(www.domain.com/FOLDER/Page-Name.php).
I have nearly 1000 pages and most of them are indexed in google in this format
[url]
Now i have renamed all my folders, files and links inside the files to absolute lowercase.

I purchased a Tyan S3970 (Tomcat h1000e) motherboard with a Supermicro SC820 Case, 'cuz I got a good deal on the combo. After I purchased it I realized that the back-cover does not match up, and the connector wires are short. (ie. The NIC/power LED wires do not reach the connector). Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

I setup Apache 2.2.21 on a Win7 (32-Bit) Desktop with SVN 1.5.6 and WebSVN 2.3.3.
My problem lies with navigating to view the repository thru websvn.
I only want my users to be able to access the websvn thru this url, 'myservername/websvn' but they are able to access it thru other variations of the url, eg.'myservername/WebSvn', 'myservername/wEbSvN', 'myservername/WebSVN'.
I am using CheckCaseOnly but it still does not solve the problem. Here's the code of my config file for websvn,
#Alias /websvn/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/websvn/"
<Directory /websvn/> Options FollowSymLinks CheckCaseOnly on
#Redirect any requests to this page to the page u want FallbackResource listing.php Order allow,deny Allow from all <IfModule mod_php4.c>
[Code] ....

I am writing a few articles about Virtual Private servers and their advantages over regular shared hosting or dedicated servers.
As such Im looking for some case studies from users of vps who found that a vps hosting option was particualrly right for them and why.
Often a couple of sentances to illustrate your point will be enough for me to work with. Naturally there will be a link to the site that your vps was useful if you wish.
Please feel free to reply here or pm me your experiences.

I have a small issue that's probably easy to answer. If I upload a zip file to a Linux server, and run this command via SSH:
Code:
unzip -a name_of_zip.zip
Although it does unzip the directories as expected, it makes all file names and folders lowercase. This is a problem when trying to install software that relies on case sensitive names.
Does anyone know what command tells the server to retain the file names and not alter them?

I got a good deal on the Supermicro SC822T-R550LPB case, and then bought a Tyan Motherboard(S3970).
Unfortunately, the IO shield that comes w/the board does not fit the case, and the one from the case does not fit the mboard. A set of FAN cables do not reach the mboard either. Does anyone know of any place that sells these parts?

If you are aware of any good hands on tutorials or docs than please feel free to let me know.
I dont mind if the documentation has no screenshoots but the technical explanations must be sound in order to understand how to configure RHCS.

I have read a few of the threads here bashing 1&1, and have just had my own problems with them culminating to today. If you are thinking of purchasing from 1&1 don't do it!
In the fall of 2007, a friend and I where going to start a small local website. We found 1&1 which offered cheap hosting with all of the server specs that we needed. I purchased 6 months of hosting from them using my CC. Unfortunately our website did not last any longer than a few months, and by the time those 6 months where up I no longer needed the hosting. Thinking that the host would simply expire (unless I authorized another payment) I just let it go, only to see a charge for another $29.95 on my bank statement.
I called them, and was sent to cancel.1and1.com (a URL that is suspiciously absent from their website) and followed the instructions to cancel the account. I requested that the site be canceled at the next billing date (figured I could use it as a development server or something since I had already paid for it).
In January of 2008 (1/22/2008 to be exact) I received yet another charge from them! I called again explaining my situation, and said I had tried to use the online cancellation form but apparently the account was not canceled. The customer support representative requested information from me, and verified that he had personally canceled the account and that I would be receiving a full refund. I was satisfied (at the time) and rather naively forgot about the whole ordeal.
Today (July 22, 2008) I received ANOTHER charge for another 6 months of hosting. Keep in mind I haven't used this account since January . . . I requested a refund for January - July (as I didn't want, nor did I use this account). I was told my name wasn't on file and therefore I couldn't cancel it. Despite the fact that I was told the account was canceled twice, and I had the credit card information, billing address, and security questions (among other things) to prove I was the owner of the account.
One representative in particular even yelled at me, and basically told me I was incompetent. So I asked to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor wasn't any more helpful and he told me: "I will not be canceling your account and I will not be giving you a refund. I'm not continuing this conversation" and hung up on me.
I have filed a credit dispute with my bank, and had to change my credit card number to prevent them from charging me again. I also filed a complaint with the BBB (not surprisingly they have an 'unsatisfactory' rating there), The Federal Trades Commission, and sent a letter to the Attorney General.
Now i'm waiting for my collections letter . . . as so many of you have received before. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. No other hosting company has ever come close to being this much of a hassle!
I have submitted my story to Digg if anyone is interested:

I paid for 6 months because it was a very good deal. During that time, it was down more than 10 times for extended periods... I was on the scratchy server, which sucked.
I never used it for any of my important sites, but still.
So, it was set to renew on December 16th. I didn't want to continue the service, because, uh, it sucked. I sent in a ticket asking to cancel, but that I didn't want my service shut off until the my pre paid time was up. They told me to use the cancellation form.
I did this, and I got an email asking why I was quitting. I said my site was down all the time, they couldn't really argue with that.
Fast forward to the next day, and there we have it. The sites are down. The account is deleted. What a bunch of sleazeballs... I specifically said not to close my account.
I can't in good conscience recommend Cirtex. Steer clear.

i decided to move back into sites after a half a year gap and thought rather than shelling out on the full price of a dedicated server id give a vps a go. Now i understand the risks of shared usage but this takes the monkeys!
Here is an email ive sent to them which will detail my issues
I have been asked to use this email to express my issues because your normal support staff are unable to deal with this request.
I began hosting with you with you about 5 days ago with the account below512MB RAM
100GB Disk Space
100Mbit Burstable Unmetered.
30 IP Address (max allowed. Not assigned at setup)
IRC Allowed
In the days ive hosted with you not only has there been the issue of not recieving what i actually paid for but there have been actual issues with the underlaying service.
Firstly you never sent me the account password meaning i had to send a support message through this email just to get access to my account.
Secondly you installed a faulty copy of WHM cpanel meaning that on account creation there wasnt actually a folder for the site files to sit in.
Ive had to send 3 support issues in regards to Cpanel licence issues.
Now the problem i am having is with the Quota's.
On the issue of RAM i was told im sharing with 4 people on my node sharing a total of just under 1GB of ram
these are the results of a *top* command in shell
Mem: 966368k total, 903952k used
Currently on my account is a completly blank installation of whm with absoloutly nothing on it or setup. based on that its presumed my ram quota is 50mb! - One of your assistants told me that ram is delagated as needed on each server but aswell as being plain insufficient to carry out what you claim to be giving me as a customer. Not to forget there is no mention whatsoever of ram being *bursted* between users on the account sign up page. For you to now say its bursted is infact a breach of the trade descriptions act.
Another issue is the bandwidth now here i take a quote from your site
Q: What kind of transfer speeds and how much data transfer can I expect on the 100Mbit shared bandwidth plan ?
A: You can expect 15-30Mbit/s transfer speeds and 5TB-9TB monthly data transfer.
The average download speed when i manually installed cpanel yesterday was 11kb/s - It doesnt take a genius at all to realise that 11kb/s is clearly a speed you could expect from a 1m/bit connection not a 100m/bit connection. I understand it is shared but the claim above is not what im recieving.
Most replys that i have had from your staff end in - If the recources you recieve at the moment arnt sufficient then get a dedicated server. But the recources i am told i should have are far more sufficient than i need. You just dont provide them, if this is the best vps package then what could i expect on the lowest. What you are actually telling me was if you want to run 1, 1 paged website then the vps is not sufficient for your uses!
All i ask is that either i am given my full quota with an acceptable connection speed as promised or a full refund.
This message is send in confidence of Nick carswell, the views expressed in this communication may not be those of Nick carswell, if you recieve this copy in error please notify me immediatly and delete any copies you may have.
I will post any replies that they send me in relation to this issue, but i appear to not be the first person who has found issues with their service and delivery of service

it would appear that Iron Mountain ( www.ironmountain.com ) has filed a trademark infringement suit against InterMountain Mortgage also known as Iron Mountain Hosting ( www.imountain.com ) regarding the use of "Iron Mountain" and various colors and service marks.
I don't think this will come as a surprise to many people given how similar these two names are, along with the fact that Iron Mountain have been involved in IT well before InterMountain Mortgage decided to take the plunge into hosting.
It's going to be an interesting trial by jury to say the least...

If I want to write the infinite problems with the worst hosting service I ever seen (MyWebsHost) I could write 1000 page, this is a brief description about their service:
Note: I have a reseller account ($740/year)
1- First downtime (7 hours), no one replied to my emails, and after they fix the problem they apologized and they promised that this will not happen again.
2- Second downtime (+10 hours) no one replied to my emails, and after they fix the problem they apologized and they promised that this will not happen again.
3- 4 times server slow performance, they fixed the problem, no one replied to my emails, and after they fix the problem they apologized and they promised that this will not happen again.
4- They transfer my account with all websites to another server without notifying me, and another 10 hours downtime.
5- My customers loosed their databases and no backup found!
6- The latest downtime is still until the moment of writing this post, THREE DAYS until now, after 20 email they replied and they told me that it is a Hardware failure, I requested to refund the remaining amount after deducting the used period and the refused.
I don't know what to do with them, I also can't access the contents of my customer's websites, is there any way to find a solution and to force them to refund my money?

I have had the worst experience...
I was impressed by their prices and server specs so i decided to buy one monthly. At 49.99 what could go wrong. Set-up within 2 days was stated. To this day i have not had it set up. 30 days later... They haven't set it up. Instead of refunding me like i asked.
