I installed Wordpress on a local install of Apache so that I can play around with it and get my design down before I put it on the web. I can get to the admin and do everything, but I can't actually get to the site. I had an index.html in my htdocs directory, which was deleted, but now when I go to localhost, it just shows the directory.

I just installed IIS on my Windows XP machine and any time I access localhost I get a bluescreen and my computer will restart. I have tried to uninstall IIS, reboot, re-install, reboot then try accessing localhost and that does not fix anything. This is on an almost fresh install of Windows. (The computer is only 1 week old)

For my centos box I use PuTTY and that allows me to get into the server and make any changes I need. I am looking at getting a second server, this one a Windows 2003 machine and I was wondering how you mange those servers remotely. Is it done using command line or is their a gui app to connect to it remotely? Can I install something like pcAnywhere on it or is there something web server specific?

One of my wordpress blogs got hacked and my site is redirecting to a different site.... When I check the phpmyadmin, there is another sql server that I am not familiar with... and there are around 17 table... I cannot delete the tables... I already contacted my host and still waiting for response...
The installed database is "information_schema (17)"
Are you familiar with this?

Implemented WordPress a little while ago via cPanel's Fantastico widget -- vanilla implementation.
Just about every day, I get spam comments in the blog's Inbox for moderation.
Was wondering if folks had general tips on how to prevent or minimize this sort of nuisance and make the blog less bot-accessible, and/or where I might read up on ways to do so.
I'm thinking about puttin up my first blog/site on news since I check news through the whole day anyways so it would be easy for me to manage as my first site. I was wondering how much bandwidth i need? I have a Hostgator "Baby" account [url]and was wondering if this is enough? Eventually I wanna add more sites and I'm worried about the space/bandwidth .. is it hard moving site from 1 server to another? From what I've seen there is a folder for the websites in the ftp but I know that hostgator does the wordpress installing so I'm not sure if I just copy the folder and move it to a bigger server will it save the site/plugins/etc.. the way it was as if it was on hostgator.. hope that makes sense also, usually how long is it to move a site from one server to another?
View 8 Replies View Relatedto migrate a friends Blog from a pre-hosted service to his own domain and hosting. A domain is no problem for me to get but hosting seems to have changed a bit since I last purchased it all myself. Looks like all the old hosting companies I used to use have disappeared, and many are offering monster deals that I really don't need for a Blog.
What I'm looking for is something cheap and simple. It's a British Blog but I would prefer American hosting just due to the cheaper conversion rates. I have no real preferences, just enough to host a Blog and a few images. What I would like is a host that is easy to upgrade should the Blog grow and need more for it.
I am in the process of having a blog developed the following capabilities:
1. Google sitemap - will be generated and pings google after every post you make
2. Will make the links of the blog to be static links with permalinks.
3. Will add social bookmarking facility to posts( possibility to add to delicious, ****, furl, etc)
4. 'Email this post' feature
5. 'Print this post' feature
6. Show how many times a post has been viewed
7. Will install Google adsense plugin, if required.
8. Show 'Recently posted' posts in sidebar
9. Add RSS feeds to blog [Bloglines, Add to Google, My Yahoo, My MSN, Newsgator, etc]
10. Will set up the blog to ping important services when you write a post
11. Change header and color scheme to match your current site 12. Install plugin to automatically hyperlink URL's
13. Install contact form plugin for drop-in form in any new/existing post/page.
14. Install external links plugin that adds a class="external" to all outbound links.
15. Will install Google Analytics Plugin For WordPress
16. Install plugin that shows Next/Previous Post in same Category
17. Site unavailable plugin - useful when you want to make your site unavailable for maintenance.
18. Install wordpress database backup plugin
19. Wysiwyg Editor plugin - provides a much better editor than the one that comes with wordpress
20. Will install Title tag optimization plugin so that you can specify customized title for each post.
21. Will install Meta tags optimization plugin to enable you to specify customized META DESCRIPTION, META KEYWORDS AND OTHER META TAGS FOR each post.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm currently on a 256mb RAM VPS plan with CPanel included at GoDaddy and hosting a wordpress blog which gets around 3000 uniques a day. My blog won't even last a day before the server crashes.
Now I've turned almost all plugins and turned off mail services and optimised MYSQL and HTTPD according to some articles on this forum, so I'll see how it turns out tomorrow. But I've still got a lot of functionality I want to add to the site.
It seems to be that this basic VPS plan is inadequate for my demands. Would anyone agree with this? (I got one opinion from another forum, saying it's definitely inadequate)
Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
The problem appears to be intermittent
when I install apache on my machine I can open up port 80 on the router and allow outside access.
But, now here is the issue.
I have a p4 server which connects via ethernet to my apple mac. My apple mac connects to the internet via wireless. My apple mac has web sharing activated so the server can access the web. The server has OpenBSD 4.3 installed without X.
What I want to do is get my server online.
It's IP is 192.168.2.4, my macs IP is 192.168.1.1. In the router configuration how would I set it up? Would the router see 192.168.2.4?
I'm wanting to access one of my MySQL db's on my VPS (WHM/cPanel).
Specifically, I want to connect to the db from Excel and pull down certain data live.
I've set up my IP address for remote access in cPanel.
I've done this before on my old shared hosting account, where the hostname for the db was [url]
But under WHM/cPanel, the only hostname used for MySQL is 'localhost', which doesn't work when trying to connect remotely.
We have an internal server running Red Hat 8 or 9 that was taken offline at least 18 months ago. The guy who set up the box is long gone. Unfortunately with him went the root password. It wasn't a big deal until we realized there is some code we do want to get off of that box now that may be useful in a future project. In particular the database structure for one project. Is there any way to get access to this data or is it just lost?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using a dedicated server for the first time and I want to access the PHP.ini file so that I can set up the mail() function and also enable error reporting.
However, all access has to be done remotely through a KVM console and I'm unsure what I need to do in order to get to the file that I want.
I have server which all files and folders are stored on. Now there are a couple of folders which are only accessible by one machine at present and all the other machines when they access the folder it is displayed as empty. I have checked all permisions and all machines viewing of files settings are the same and folders accessible by all machines have the same settings as the couple which are only accessible from this one machine.
If I copy and paste the folder all machines then have access to the folder from although this would be a lengthy exercise for the full hard drive.
I have a mySQL db on Host A and I want to be able to access its data from Host A/B/C/D/E.
Questions:
1. If I have your typical reseller account with WHM and CPanel, would I just use localhost for each site on Host A or would I only use localhost for the domain it is on? (Assume mysite1.com and mysite2.com is on the same reseller account, and the db phpmyadmin is at mysite1.com/phpmyadmin.)
2. For Host B/C/D/E, how would I let them have access to the mySQL db on Host A? Do I just add them to the Access Hosts section of the Database Manager section of CPanel? Would that involve putting each IP address in there or its nameserver or what? Would a wildcard be useful here?
I have a reseller account that uses WHM/cPanel. So of course, SquirrelMail and Horde are already installed. I like to check my email at work, but unfortunatley, my employer blocks connections for say mydomain.com:2095.
Is there a way around this? I'm too much of a noob to try and install Horde again, bypassing the cPanel. I use Horde as the example because I need a good calendar and address book.
What specs would I need to host a blog that gets 20k uniques a day?
View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm going to be setting up and hosting a high-profile wordpress blog. It'll probably get around 800.000 pagehits per month. The client has been asking about Peak Capacity, Throughput and whatnot and I'm honestly am not sure what to tell him.
So far I've been maintaining a 1and1 windows 2003 dedicated server with about 20 websites, but none which comes close to that amount of traffic.
My plan is to go for a Linux box with the following specs:
CPU: Opteron 1218 HE

RAM:4 GB RAM
Hard Disks: 2 x 400 GB (RAID 1 Software)

1. which web hosting provider is good for starting web hoster like me?
2. i need web host who support wordpress as blog software and web hosting must be fair price and my blog contain only 10mb size and bandwidth may 1gb/month intial.
2. can i use more than one blog in same domain, if ok in that each blog can have their own wordpress blog software i.e i can instal more than one wordprss software in same domain and web host?
3. if i accept free domain register from my web hoster, then if i transfer my blog after 5 months or 9 months to different web host provider can i use same domain or it is not possible?
a while back I left some handmade comments in some computer related blogs
not even close to spam but I put the keyword into the name field
then....a few days later I found a .txt file named blogspam on my hosting account.. anybody had a similar experience...
I am hosting my wordpress blog on a web hosting that is not that reliable as it go down once in a while for few hours without any prior notification of sheduled maintenance.
However, i have a question. How do i migrate a wordpress blog with everything intact.. data, information, application, plugins, graphics and domain name?
Currently I am hosted with Aquarius Storage, who are a fantastic company and I will be posting a review of them soon, but however that is not my point. Due to the recent tragedy of the HyperVM creator committing suicide, I will have to pay more because AQ is switching to Virtuozzo. Because I simply run a somewhat large, growing blog, paying 36$ per month is kind of outrageous.
To make things short, I need a good host, that was superb uptime, and is optimized for a WordPress blog that gets around ~5k uniques, ~30k pagehits, ~100k spider hits per month. (all figures are growing, of course), and for the site to be optimized to be speedy fast.
Well it occured to me just now that I think this might be a challenge: do you know any absolutely unbiased web hosting blog?
Without a doubt WHT is a truly unbiased discussion forum for the web hosting industry. However when it comes to blog and the luring big affiliate bucks more and more hosting companies are offering, I doubt there would be ANY truly unbiased 3rd party blogs / info sites on hosting industry.
I am hosting a Wordpress blog that currently uses 30GB of bandwidth per month. I want to introduce a forum as well so will probably need 50GB per month for now. But would like it expandable to 100GB in the future.
My requirements are:
No hidden CPU Limitations/No unreasonable resource usage restrictions.
Equipped to handle large surges of traffic.
No Overselling, able to use full allocation.
AND PROBABLY:
LiteSpeed - Does it really make a difference?
I have looked at MediaLayer, but they only provide upto 50GB transfer.
SecureServerTech looks good but uptime is only around 99%
At the moment Steadfast Networks looks the best.
My budget will be $20 for 50GB tranfer and $40 for 100GB of transfer, but this is not fixed and I would prefer quality over price.
Control panel does not mater but uptime does.
