We need to upload to a virtual server (managed with Plesk 11.5) a Wordpress site developed locally. We made this operations without problems many times on other hostings managed with custom panels, non-Plesk.
On the virtual server with Plesk, however, once the files are uploaded via FTP, the database via phpMyAdmin and updated the Wordpress configuration file, when you go to visit the website, it does not display anything and the browser opens the download window for a text file called "download" that contains the code of the file index.php of WordPress.
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....
Can anyone point me to some decent instructions on how to get PHP/MySQL working on IIS? Basically I want to be able to use PHP + .NET at the same time. Been looking around and trying for awhile with no luck.
I know it's always better to get my hands dirty and install everything manually. However, I'm not confident about configuring it properly. So if anyone knows of a good WAMP installer that does everything painlessly it'll be great.
I have WAMP 2.0 installed on my Windows Vista. WAMP has released a new version: 2.0G. I've just downloaded it and i'm wondering if i could just run the installer or do i have to uninstall my current WAMP and then only install the latest version?
I started learning how to use Magento's eCommerce solution, and I ran into a problem when I mistakenly changed the root pw for my phpMyAdmin area. After trying to find a fix online, it seemed like the best thing to do would be to reinstall WAMP. So I uninstalled it using Control Panel's 'Add or Remove Programs.' After reinstalling WAMP, I am having difficulty getting it to work properly.
When I try to launch Wamp (WampServer 2), I get an alert saying "Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The message and the error signature are as follows:
But for some reason, the WAMP system try icon says that it's online (It shows a semicircle with 3/4 of it colored yellow.) However, when I try to connect to the localhost in my browser, I get the following message: Failed to Connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
I've set up WAMP on another PC on my home network. Works just fine for browsing via a web browser (i.e. displaying the web pages on the server). However, when I try to use FTP in Notepad++ I cannot establish a connection.
If I change the port to 80, I can get a connection. Change it back to 21 and no connection.
I tried switching off the firewall (inc windows firewall) on the server, and the anti-virus. Not made a difference.
As generally i stick to hardware...but anyways i have encountered this problem..
I have installed WAMP on my sever
I have opened up Port80 to it(port forwarding)
I can enter both internal address (address of server 192.1068.1.108) and external ips (my external address 220.239.199.48) into my browser on another computer in the network and it works but as soon as you try on a computer outside my network on the internet some where it just times out....
Is it possible to buy a dedicated server off eg Dell and host your own website on it from home ie with a www prefix to the url- Do ye know any good tutorial on it. Would 20Mbit bandwidth be enough bandwidth for a fairly busy php ,mysql site? Completely new to this.
Why are all the established and turnkey websites trying to sell you some cheap hosting package and always say there is something like a $8.88 domain renewal fee and all that junk?
I'm just looking for a template to setup, already with content and whatnot and I can't find any, none! Does anyone sell just templates?
What is involved in hosting a website from a local PC?
I have developed a site on 'localhost' on my PC and am running ISS, I also have a domain name plus forwarding. My internet connecton is broadband and I'm using an ADSL/Ethernet router. How do I connect it up?
I'm trying to install Joomla on my home server, and it requires mysql to have a password for security. Since nothing of my server is anywhere on the net, I never bothered to set a pass (yeah, I should have anyway).
Google led me to this article on the mysql forums, which worked up until it tried to initialize mysql (or whatever the command does, I'm guessing initialize). It's trying to look for the xampp folder that I had installed and uninstalled long before.
I have just upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium and am now looking for a WAMP installation whcih is compatible. Any ideas anyone. I used to use WAMP 5 and I knwo this is getting an update but I am in desperate of something similar for the time being.
A few days back i had made a post asking about which would the best host for a dating website that me and a couple of friends were planning to start. Thanks alot to everyone for the answers.
However now we have decided to go with a gaming website, as the idea appeals to most of us.
The concept is to have a real time online game running on the server 24X7, people can join any time they want and leave any time they want, the game would still keep progressing. My main concerns with such a site are:
1. Bandwidth : As people will be online for a long time playing the game I am guessing we will need good amount of bandwidth
2. Server CPU : Will we end up eating lot of server CPU as the game engine will be running 24X7 on the server? What kind of implications does this have? I dont see any CPU specific details in the hosting plans i have seen so far.
Please advise on the above two. What kind of hosting should I be looking for? Hosting budget is 30$/month (max).
I have a friend who has a dedicated server right now that uses a good 4GB for all his website content. (not streaming media but just a whole bunch of scripts and etc. well thats what he tells me). And so anyways, his SQL database is about 1-2GB. And he is not too sure about his monthly traffic but its a social networking site with a good amount of users (so its actively used by many users). Would it be necessary for him to have a dedicated server or do you think he could cut costs with a shared hosting account at like host gator or some other shared hosting service like that? I guess my biggest concern is his current database. A lot of shared hosting companies (from what i saw) offer unlimited Mysql Tables do they have size limits? And does a bigger sql database drastically effect the performance of the overall server?
I am re-developing a website that launched 8 yeas ago. When the site launched it was developed in TCL and had an Oracle back end. The site's previous developer is still hosting the site on his server.
Long story short, we are re-developing the site on a new server at a different location. We'd like to re-launch on the old server (to help maintain Google search rankings), but we are developing in .Net and SQL. The old server is Linux. We want to maintain our ranking on Google since we are "Top Ten" on more than 20 great keyword phrases.
If we use a DNS forward from the old IP to the new one, are we going to loose rankings on Google? Obviously yes. But would it be beneficial to help the old developer buy a SQL server so the DNS forward is to a server 2 feet away as opposed to across the country? Does Google treat these equally?
I have started a new image hosting website and currently i alloted 7 GB Disk Space and 30GB BW. I know it will not be enough after the site get famous. So which host i can go for to be in a safer side with my image hosting website?
I believe it's ev1server.net But i'm not sure if it's correct or not. This website is jacking some of my cursors. He/she doesn't even rename the files that he/she takes. It's the exact same filename as the one's I have on my website. Also when you look internally you can see information about the cursors. It says something like created by, animated by etc.
I just want to contact his webhost to remove my cursors.
I have purchased a domain, and installed WAMP on my local computer. Now, I want to attach the domain name to WAMP such that when I entered my designed site on WAMP on my computer, I'll see my own domain instead of C://localhost/.../...
I have been told that the company that owns my domain should address its DNS to my own DNS?
