Yea, a lot of that depends on location. At your house, they might have to sit in a car. At my place, I can see 7 wireless access points. When I was at my friends condo playing poker, we pulled out our laptops and found 20 access points (yes, we're geeks). When someone can sit in the comforts of their own home and attempt to hack your network or use up your bandwidth, you become a little less friendly with leaving the key under the doormat.

There are open_basedir restrictions, however that should not cause you any problems if the software is reasonably written. PHP is also currently version 4.3.10, but again, shouldn't be a problem (it's newer than what's required). Everything else you are good on.

Yea, basically all nglayout.initialpaint.delay really does is make the page start to display sooner, but probably won't really give you an improvement in speed overall (and could possibly make it slower). So it'll appear to be faster because you see content sooner. For the technically inclinded, some more detailed discussion on some of the commonly mentioned tweak settings can be found over at mozillaZine.

It looks like you entered the time arguments as part of the command line (made obvious by the fact it's trying to run '7' as a command). Assuming you are using cPanel's cron form to enter your crontab info, the actual command should be "/usr/local/bin/php /home/ibsteam/fullbackup.php" and you should use the other form fields available to enter the five scheduling components (i.e., if you used the Advanced cron form, you'll see 5 fields before the command line field. Enter the 5 items in "7 13 * * *" in each of those fields respectively).

If these are the same server why would they have different traceroutes: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He meant they are the same server configuration.

Absolutely.

As Bruce said, they are text files. They are named your domain. So if you have abc.com, the file is called abc.com (hence the .com extension). If you're xyz.net, it'll be xyz.net.

The majority of PHP non-runtime settings can be controlled in your .htaccess using php_value and php_flag commands. See php.net for some more info on those flags, or feel free to ask here about any specific settings. You can also control many settings using ini_set() within your code as well.

Yea, we should completely remove the Simple CGI Wrapper option from showing up. It's a relic of time's past.

Acutally the Simple CGI Wrapper is not necessary. Our servers are configured so all cgi scripts run as the account user and not as the webserver user (nobody). PHP scripts run as the web user. Since Moin Moin is CGI based (it's written in Python) you should be ok with owner permissions, as the processes will be running as you. Sorry I didn't add that to my earlier post. I didn't catch that you were trying to run CGI's, and not PHP.

We do not currently support ACLs (nor are they fully implemented, hence your "Operation not supported" error). ACL's are relatively new in Linux, and only fully implemented primarily in the latest, not quite production ready, kernels.

Your use of SpamKarma was a problem due to the version of SpamKarma and the version of WordPress combination that you were using (bug in SpamKarma caused the problem). The newer version of SpamKarma that was available even at that time fixed the problem, so you should be fine to install a current version of SpamKarma.

Note for those not up on their processor technology... Opteron's are 64-bit processors, Xeons in use here are 32-bit, so there is an improvement there (not to mention Opteron's are AMD, Xeons are Intel, so 1.6 Ghz AMD is faster than 1.6 Ghz Intel, because of the way the processors handle instructions differently). Bottom line, though... regardless of what server you end up on, the number and type of accounts is scaled per server to make sure that everyone has adequate resources.

We don't support LDAP's for virtual hosting, but there might be some useful web based groupware tools you can use for an addressbook. TCH's primary focus is on providing webhosting tools more than groupware or email tools.

Go #24! I was a fan of Jeff Gordon when he was a rookie (so no...I didn't jump on the bandwagon) and kinda grew up in NASCAR with him (I really started getting into NASCAR a little before he started). Similar to Martin, I've always thought Jeff was a class act both on and off the track, and a great driver. I haven't watched much of the NASCAR the last couple seasons, but am going to try to spend more time watching it again this year. It really is one of my favorite sports.

MySQL 4.1 is the latest certified production-ready version. 5.0 is still in development. You won't see 5.0 deployed here for quite awhile.

I'm not an expert on PHP-Nuke, but a quick search shows a BBtoNuke 2.0.11 download at nukeresources.com and some instruction on how to do the upgrade.

Under Mac OS X you can run Safari. Safari uses the same KHTML rendering engine as Konquerer (and Apple has contributed to the rendering code). However, that said, I find the rendering with Firefox to be considerably faster than Safari on Mac OS X.

Simplest would be to just go into your control panel, select Manage Redirects, and enter a new redirect of index.html to go to www.crewillogic.com/forum/ and make it a permanent redirect.

just to clarify (I'm a bit of a perfectionist)... subdirectories are case sensitive. Subdomains are not. If you actually have setup a subdomain of Bloodsong.facciolli.com, you can also access it as bloodsong.facciolli.com. But to access it as a subdirectory (which I believe is what you are really referring to), how you create it is exactly how you have to access it, unless you create redirects as Don suggested.

The effect should be very minimal, and internationalized domain names are uncommon. Heck, the most widely used browser doesn't even support internationalized domain names.

If you look in the example in the article, they show that they can make the address bar look like it's browsing "http://www.paypal.com"'>http://www.paypal.com" by hiding the extra characters using international characters. Using standard ascii characters you can't hide that it's not actually www.paypal.com in your address bar. In the links they can, but not the address bar. Many people hide links by putting something like http://www.paypal.com as the text, but actually link it to something else. That's a different kind of spoofing (and easier to see when your address bar doesn't say the same as the link did).

They are saying that allowing international character sets in the domain names can allow people to spoof other names (by hiding characters in the domain so it looks like you are browsing another). That article on slashdot is a little misleading, though. Mozilla is not dropping support, they are only disabling it by default until they can come up with a better solution. You can still turn the feature back on.

With that large of a volume in spurts like that with a database heavy site, they will likely have problems anywhere on a shared account. It sounds like what they really need is a dedicated server. Properly configured, that would handle that kind of load without a problem.
