Mike...the email is indeed warning me. However, this is impossible as it would be ME warning ME. Portlandsoxfan.com is my domain, and I don't have a 'staff@portlandsoxfan.com' email set up. Looks to me like somebody with my email in their address book got hit with this virus..and the virus strips 'abc.com' from somebody's email address and makes it look like a real email from a domain owner... I know a dude who comes to my site who is a michagan alum..maybe he got hit.

I'm assuming it is some kind of virus; but it seems strange. I update my definitions daily, but today I got the following: This came with an attatchment called text.zip that comes up clean when scanned. Now the funny thing is; there IS no staff@portlandsoxfan.com, as I am a one man operation. Here is the detail: >Return-path: <portlan@server20.totalchoicehosting.com> Envelope-to: psf@portlandsoxfan.com Delivery-date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:26:44 -0500 Received: from portlan by server20.totalchoicehosting.com with local-bsmtp (Exim 4.24) id 1AyKDj-0003cv-Gs for psf@portlandsoxfan.com; Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:26:44 -0500 Received: from [141.211.138.55] (helo=michael-a7jfe9q) by server20.totalchoicehosting.com with smtp (Exim 4.24) id 1AyKDj-0003cp-4P for psf@portlandsoxfan.com; Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:26:43 -0500 Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:26:44 -0500 To: psf@portlandsoxfan.com Subject: E-mail account disabling warning.

My system still comes up clean. EDIT: OK, I'm tired..it appears that this is a clever little virus that takes the domain of your email address, and makes it look like a custom email from the domain owner. IP goes back to University of Michigan....and I'm not even an Ohio State fan.

There was some kind of MySQL hiccup on my site today. Which is obviously very, very bad when it is mostly php/mysql based. When I looked in cpanel, there were NO MySQL tables, and phpmyadmin wasn't letting me in. I posted an URGENT ticket at 1:41. I then was about to try to IM somebody, as my site was totally down. At 1:44, before I got in touch with anybody, everything was back.

And I suspect it might be due to the fact that I haven't paid this month yet! I lost my debit card last month, and I thought I had given the new number to everybody that needed it...but not TCH, apparantly. Monthly billing is a pain, anyway. I only did it in the beginning because I didn't want to prepay for a year and find out that the service sucked. Well, it doesn't. How do I easily go about prepaying for a year? I might need to change my plan as well...

I can get to my main page (thewescotts.com), but I can't seem to get to Cpanel or SQmail... On my other site, which is on server 20, I believe, I'm having no problems. Any ideas? It isn't a HUGE deal now so I'm not doing a ticket..

A few days ago, the link I used to get to sqmail disappeared...I get no page, no nothing. And the directory doesn't appear to be in my file structure...any ideas? Link See for yourself...

Seriously; it has been nearly 7 hours now..can I get just a little response...I kind of need this done soon, as I won't be around tomorrow...

ticket number is 2337. I can't add email addresses until this is resolved...don't know about adding other stuff; haven't tried yet.

I did that just after I posted this. username there is 'portlan'

My site (portlandsoxfan.com) is still showing over limit..I can't create email accounts. Per advice from TCH, I deleted Analog Stats files, which should put my WAY under my quota.... Suggestions?

Any update, rickyz? And any reason why those files are so huge; and what I can do to prevent it?

Not all of them... I never look at Analog Stats. Yesterday I got an over-limit email; and on my 300 meg site, I'm at 327 megs or so. After doing some poking around (and seeing that my entire public_html folder is a whopping 19 meg or so), I see that there are 3 files in the Analog Stats directory (cache, 5.html, 4.html..I'm assuming months) that take up over 300 megs alone. How do I purge these files? The cache.html says not to modify or delete; that one alone is 130 megs. I'm assuming these files grow so large because I have a chat room that is usually pretty busy from around 9:00 AM to 11 PM. Advice?

FWIW; I was running phpbb and converted to the invision provided by TCH; unfortunately, the converter on Invision's site didn't work with the version of Invision provided by TCH. I manually installed the latest version from Invision; and the conversion worked fine. The only thing that doesn't convert correctly is the member list; which is a problem, because it wipes out your admin user/pass and then craps out!

I've been a TCH/SNH customer since last December (and a very happy one, btw). So happy, in fact, that I purchased a second domain/hosting plan. The domain is registered; DNS appears to be all set, I just haven't gotten the 'welcome' email yet (I just set it up last night, so that's not a problem). As I think about it, though, I'm pretty sure I used the same username/pass for the new site that I have for the old site. Is that going to be a problem; or only if the two sites are on the same server?

Funny...I came in here with a question about formmail (even thought I have no idea what it is...) My site is very infrequently visited; yet just after midnight tonight somebody attempted to get to /cgi-bin/formmail.pl (it doesn't exist, obviously).... Was that somebody trying to use my domain to spam with? Some kind of program that checks www.anysite.com/cgi-bin/formmail.pl and exploits it if it exists?
