What If You Can't FTP Into A Site?
i've got a client who gave me their PW and ID to log into their servers. But for whatever reason, i can't seem to login despite them giving me the right PW and ID.
I want to know if there are other possible reasons for not being able to login via my FTP client [which is filezilla]?

Problem Loggin' In With FTP After APF Installed
I installed APF on a VPS and everything works fine. I can access WHM, cPanel, SSH, send mail etc. except for FTP which has suddenly stopped working. I have double checked and port 21 is correctly set all places in conf.apf. Does anybody here know what might be the reason I suddenly can't log in to the account using my FTP client. Neither with the account password or the root password. Any help is gratefully received.

Verification status: NOT VERIFIED Last attempt Jan 30, 2009: We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header. why is this so? Did the host delete those? what should i do?

Mystery Mirror/Mirroring My Client's Site Is On Another Domain But Why?
I'm having an issue with a client site and I am not sure what to do at this point. Conversations with the host (GoDaddy) haven't led to a solution and to be honest, I'm not sure it's their issue to handle although I will be firing off an email to their domain dispute department shortly. I spoke with a couple of supervisors there and they were as baffled as I am. Here's the situation: When people Google the name of the client's business, it returns their site but on a different domain. The entire site is there, nothing is changed but the URL. It's like having an unintentional mirror site except that none of the forms work which is what tipped off the users that something was wrong but of course, they don't notice that they're not actually on 'www.clientsite.com' so they think it's just a form error when in actuality, they're not even at the right domain. There is really no way for this other domain to profit from mirroring the client's site; it's just a business profile type of thing with a few forms for contact, employment applications and vendor applications. No secure info is transmitted other than perhaps the occasional email address but we're not talking a heavy volume site, it's a niche market and really not something that would be a typical target. There's no eCommerce, no subscriptions, no financial info. I'm at a total loss. Could this happen if this other site is hosted on the same server as my client's site? Could it be an actual error of some sort or would it have to be intentional? The whois for this bogus site leads to DomainsbyProxy.com and I'll be sending them a letter as well but I'd really appreciate any input you all might have on HOW this could happen. Should I also contact Google?

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.

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.

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?

How To Get A Copy Of Entire Site Without FTP Access
to get a copy of their entire site onto our servers. The problem is that they have no backups, and their current host has denied them access to their account. (It's a long story.) Rather then try and fight with their old host, I wonder if it's easier to just run some kind of "website copy" program and grab a copy of all pages and images, linked files, etc.. Their current website pages are served using an ASP database application, but the copy they need only has to work. It doesn't need to be dynamic, etc... as long as all the pages are there it's good.

Creating FTP Accounts For New Web Site Users
I have a web site, where users sign up and edit there account settings using a web based form application. These users will be uploading large files to my server, and as of right now they are uploading the files using a file upload form. The problem is it takes a really long time to upload them. So my first question is will using ftp be significantly faster than using the web form http upload? Assuming its faster to use ftp: The big files that the user uploads get stored in a directory in the website directory right now, so that they would be accessible via www.mysite.com/user/files/ . There is an ftp account used to control that entire domain and all the files in it. So if i were to create another ftp user, how would i go about allowing them to access a specific diretory in another users home directory.

Simultaneous FTP User- Cpanel/WHM/Pure-FTP, Dual Xeon 2.4, 1gRAM, Dedicated
Simultaneous FTP User Question - Cpanel/WHM/Pure-FTP, Dual Xeon 2.4, 1gRAM, Dedicated Does the following dedicated server spec throw any flags for you when considering our intended future use? DEDICATED SERVER SPEC Dual Xeon 2.40 ghz. 1 gig RAM INTENDED FUTURE USE - We currently host 300 low volume websites on the server. - We only use 40 gigs of data bandwidth per month. (1000 allotted) - We developed a new software product that allows auto-updates 300kb of data each day. - We expect up to 500 people to use this software and need to access our FTP daily, at different times of the day (random). - We plan to embed the FTP information into the software. The FTP access will be transparent to the user. Does our dedicated server sound like it could handle this? My guess is yes.

Static Routes With Linux & Shorewall (site To Site VPN Virtual Private Network)
Attached is a (badly) drawn diagram of two sites, connected by a vpn. The site to the left, is network 10.0.0.0/24 which runs a linux server as the router for the network. The site to the right, is network 10.1.0.0/24 which runs a windows 2003 server as the router for the network. Now, my problem is, the clients behind the windows 2003 server can ping any machine on the first network because i setup a static route to route all traffic to 10.0.0.0/24 over the vpn interface. now, my problem is, only the linux server can ping any machine on the windows 2003 network, any client behind the linux server cant seem to route over the interface.

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.

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.

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.
