Are there any web hosts that allow spaces in file names?
I am building a web site using Adobe GoLive. It contains many photo galleries using Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Adobe Media Gallery). When I upload a test site to my domain hosted by Yahoo using SmartFTP, it is rejected because the file names of my photos contain spaces. See <hayesphotos.biz> When I look at other photographers' sites, many use real world file names with spaces. I have inquired at two other large web hosts and they tell me that spaces will appear on their sites as "%20". My test site looks fine when previewed on my web browser with spaces. Their answer is to use underscores. Am I asking too much for a web host that allows file names in english?
In my search for a good web host, I noticed that many of them have names of predators. For example: HostMonster, HostGator, HawkHost, HostHyena, etc. etc.
what's so special about web hosting that it makes their owners give names like this?
I am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
I have a spider that is saving a few images files everyday on my servers. Due to the fact that the images are dynamically created the spider is not only saving them without an extention, but also using charachters from the link to create those file names.
I end up with:
0&Y=0 1&Y=0 2&Y=0 3&Y=0 .... and so on.
(there is no problems browsing those image files
What I need is to copy those files or move them to file names with an extention (png) for protection reasons.
I failed using cp, mv in doing so. it seams that the OS doesn't see those files as files.
We use cpanel on our centos servers and we've updated our servers recently using easyapache to the latest php4 and mod_suphp and I've noticed that in top (running "top c" in shell) all php processes by any user are simply displayed as "/usr/bin/php"
Before this update the processes also showed the file name eg. "/usr/bin/php lamescript.php" which allowed to easily find troublesome scripts ... but now there's no way of knowing what the script in question is that's eating up 100% of the cpu .. or is there?
I'm trying to get up an SPF record on my domain because my emails haven't been reching Hotmail users and Hotmail recommended setting an SPF record. I'm just having a slight problem, I've entered everything in to the DNS settings in WHM but when I test them at DNSReport.com, I get the following (I've changed my ip and domain)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPF lookup of sender droid@domain.net from IP 12.34.56.789:</B>
I am trying to set up log rotation on my Apache Server on Windows 2008 using the rotatelogs.exe executable. I believe I am having issues because my directory path has spaces.
From my understanding, a full path is needed for the ErrorLog but not for the CustomLog
This is a new test install of PPA 11.5.5 with currently 8 nodes: CP, Apache, IIS, MySQL, Mail, 2 BIND, and Webmail. Installation and adding nodes went pretty much without a hitch so I'm testing account creation, subscription settings, etc. but I'm not getting very far. Anytime I try to add a subscription (any subscription) to an account I get the error: "Owner with external ID = '211' does not exist in Plesk database" The actual ID number varies depending on which account I'm trying to add a subscription to, but otherwise it's always the same error. I've tried the built-in default subscriptions, I've tried creating my own...same results either way.
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
Recently I stumbled along a host on here with a good rep and that uses direct admin.
Because they were very nice on the live support I signed up to see what direct admin was like.
Its very diferent from cpanel. Some parts seem to be harder to use like the phpmyadmin requires the username and password to the database you created not the control panel username and password like cpanel. Although I guess that could be a good security feature just in case some one gets into the control panel they can not get into the phpmyadmin, then again if they are smart and were able to get into the control panel they could get into ftp and look what the username and password is on the config file for the script you are using.
The bandwidth meter seems to be better in direct admin although I think its acting up for me as its putting yesterdays bandwidth on todays. I was told by the host that it updates every 2 hours and at first it did but now its gone to every day. Oh and unlike cpanel this bandwidth meter includes bandwith used by the control panel.
Niether one from what I can tell counts sftp though at least for the hosts I have right now.
Is there a list somewhere of what the various hostnames one sees when running a traceroute?
Some are obvious, but quite a few aren't.
I come across car1 and car2 a lot, but can't quite figure those out.
(Example: gigabitethernet6-24.car2.bos1.Level3.net -- the "gigabitethernet" is obvious, as is bos1 (Boston). But car2? And it shows up towards the other end: ae-31-89.car1.Washington1.Level3.net. (Bonus: what's the "ae" at the start denoting?)
csw, ebr, mpr, and ash are all common followed by a single number, too. (pos and tge show up on RCN a lot.) cr, dcr, ecr, hr on Savvis?
I got abc.com and xyz.com websites hosted on my dedicated server with whm control panel.
abc is my dev site and xyz is my current running live site. Now my dev site is done and I like to launch without uploading files to xyz.com. Both sites are on same server.
So, I am thinking to rename xyz.com to nonexisting.com in whm (site will down at that time). After that, rename abc.com to xyz.com. In order to rename site names, I have to use Main >> Account Functions >> Modify an Account , and edit domain name>>save.
if this is going to work for everything including email settings, ftp etc...
.CN - Domain names for China (irist.com), is now just $12.99
With China's recent accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) the economy there is taking great strides towards global accessibility. .cn offers registrants the protection of a well-established brand name in what is certain to become one of the most lucrative marketplaces in the world, and begin making inroads into the Chinese marketplace.
Is it possible to add too many aliased domain names on a Dedicated server? I have Hostgator's most powerful dedicated server and I added probably 150 domain names as aliases to one of my websites. Now today all of the sudden none of my other sites will load on the web. When I try to go to one of my sites it just thinks and thinks but never loads.
I'm using WHM with cPanel. Can aliased names cause too much server load? Some of those 150 domains get a little traffic but not much.
Ocassionally some users have problems to connect the their websites, they can connect to the server via browser and can ping it and tracert the server IPs fine, they can also browse domains having a dedicated IP address. But they can't connect or ping their websites from their end, basically I think the domain name is not resolving.
From our end and the rest of users everything works fine.
Once I get a complain of this type I try whatever I can do
Check to see if their IP is not blacklisted Restart named service Restart apache service But most of the time this doesn't work at all.
Exactly as the problem comes it goes, nothing I did seems to have any effect on the solution. It goes and ocassionally reappears.
Would you suggest me what would I do to find where the problem is and try to solve it.
I have 10 dedicated Ip addresses and recently spotted in my stats for one of my sites, that some odd domain names were mirroring my site. On checking they were using my IP address and displaying my website.
I have no idea how they could have done this.
I changed my sites IP address to anopther in my range, however these domain names still point to my IP and whatever site I have put there.
Someone has said to me it is a form of phishing, but I dont know how they could have done this and whether I can somehow stop this happening. The domains that have kind of hijacked my IP are ipinikoparan dot com and durmakyokyoladevam dot com
odd enough domain names, could someone have set this up and is it some kind of security risk?
So I've just been browsing around and I've checked out a couple of peoples portfolios. Some of you guys have 100's of domain names registered under you waiting for someone to buy it.
So that's my question, how can you have so many domains registered? Isn't that very expensive?
I found good domain available names and when I tried to register using some webhosting companies they were first shown as available and in the next step of registration they were claimed to be taken. It does not happen with "not so good" names. I think it happened with whois.net and register.com
So it looks like there is no way to register a good name?
Even when checking whois may have your good domain name stolen.
Can someone comment this and share his/her experience.
Which regetar and whois companies can I use safely?
Could you please share your experiences on having domains and hosting with the same company? What are your opinions on free domains provided by hosting companies? Do you have domain names with the same company or separately?
i have two nix vps's One of the vps is setup and running 2 ips, a nameserver and with whm/cpanel on a centos5 system. The other vps is just hypervm with lxadmin panel and one ip. I have nameservers setup on vps1 and all domains work. I would now like to add a domain name to the other vps and use the first servers nameserver. The second vps only has one ip so i wasnt able to setup the domain name there. Is there a guide on how to setup domain names accross two servers with one namesserver. I tried a few options but nothing seems to work.
what do i need to do in whm I already added the domain name to the second vps, i just dont know how to get it to point to first vps and first vps point to domain name.
I know how to work whm but am very new to lxadmin(only two weeks)
