HostingSimply.com and MyCoolName.com (both apparantly owned by CanUS Media INC) appear to basically have gone out of business (as well as his other company dedizone.com). However, the actual registrar for your domain is PublicDomainRegistry.com. MyCoolName.com looks to have just been a reseller. I would suggest going to PublicDomainRegistry.com, contact them, and tell them the domain reseller of theirs you purchased your domain through appears to no longer be in business and you'd like to transfer your domain. They should be able to help you out. If you go to support.publicdomainregistry.com you should be able to enter a support request.

I don't blog all that much, but I was messing around recently with gravatars again, so thought I'd ask the more frequent bloggers who might be in on the grapevine... Anyone know what's up with gravatar.com? They appear to be pretty fubar and have been for awhile.

Thanks for the note so others can be reminded of the policy. For reference, this information has been available in the TotalChoice Web Hosting Policies forum, under the sticky "Email Forwarding Policies", as well as directly under Support Announcements. The control panels do not contain policy information within them, due to the way the control panel is designed.

Yea, the not found message is standard for when no posts are available.

Ftp, Failure To Connect With Smart Ftp.
MikeJ replied to GoodBYtes's topic in CPanel and Site Maintenance
Try clearing the cache in your browser. Some browsers will cache the ip addresses. As for FTP, are you able to ftp to other sites (as in, nothing is blocking your FTP?) Yes, port 21 is the correct FTP port. -
Ftp, Failure To Connect With Smart Ftp.

helpweaver.com for you is still resolving to your parked host at the domain registrar. Until that resolves to 208.76.80.80 for you, ftp using ftp.helpweaver.com won't work. This I don't know why it wouldn't work for you. That ip address should work fine for FTP, and works for me when I ftp to it right now. Your forum setup uses absolute url references to helpweaver.com instead of relative links, which means that the images and CSS will not show up properly even with the kamino.tchmachines.com link, because there are still references in the page to your domain name. -
Maybe you got it fixed by now, but www.diedforoursinindustries.org shows up fine for me in both Firefox and IE.

Find a new job? (sorry...not a big fan of locking people down that much unless your job is top secret work).

If they are using Websense, point the admin to a reliable news source: http://news.com.com/2100-1029_3-6171423.html And ask him to update. If it's something else, you could try to find the ip's and put them in your host file, if it works by IP, but not DNS lookups.

The ban is only on email that is sent from a third party through TCH servers to AOL, which would cover email forwards and mailing lists. Email generated by users of domains that exist on TCH servers (which would include pop/imap users as well as webmail users of TCH accounts) and the software installed on their accounts (such as forums) is not banned.
-
You would have to include that mailfrom() function in the link from my first post within your php page. It's not a standard php function, you would have to define it using that code before using it.
-
In the example, you would put that code within your script, and change the above mail line to: >mailfrom($fromaddress, "$cur_email", "Hola $first_name! Study abroad this summer!", $emailbodycontact, $headers); And define $fromaddress to be your email address, or just use "esteban@solabroad.com" (including quotes) in place of $fromaddress in that line.
-
The "From:" header is pretty much cosmetic, meaning it doesn't affect mail delivery just what the user sees. "Reply-To:" is only used by email clients when replying to the email. When you send mail, what gets set in SMTP as the "MAIL FROM:" line (which in this case is set to nobody@...) is what will be used for the bounce. How are you interfacing with the email system from your PHP script? If you are using PHP's mail() function, here's an example replacement that should allow you to specify the MAIL FROM to be your own address: http://www.zend.com/code/codex.php?id=72&single=1

TCH is a cPanel based hosting provider, so you may not find many answers to H-Sphere setups. A quick glance through google I didn't see much in the way of readily available solutions to do what you want.
-
Port 26 is also available on the servers for sending mail if port 25 is blocked by your provider. Enjoy your trip to Vermont.

Yea, from one of my blogs: "This blog is protected by dr Dave's Spam Karma 2: 219748 Spams eaten and counting..."
-
Dealing with migrations and networking issues on a regular basis, I can say that this is a big step at providing more stability and better service to customers. For the non-geeks, this basically means that the IP block will only be affected by TCH's higher standards of controlling how their IP's are used stopping spam and other illegal activities quickly, instead of having to rely on other providers to hold that high level of service to prevent blocks against our networks. In short, this should minimize the amount of blocks that happen, as well as almost eliminate the need to change IP addresses when changes are made.

I have it running on one of my laptops (this one that I use for work). Pro's... it's got a pretty new interface. Beyond that, honestly, I haven't seen significant improvement over XP, and as people above said, drivers are still coming if you don't have the most common devices and current devices. My Vista shipped with my Dell Latitude 620 laptop. So far it crashes when I suspend if I forget to disconnect the verizon wireless connection, and their beta dreamscene software has a habit of crashing the shell (but in their defense it is still beta). I had to uninstall the JRE that came with the OEM Vista, and install directly from Sun, to get the JRE to work with Firefox. I run Parallels on it as well, and so far that has worked great to run other OS's at the same time. Overall, it's not too bad, but not the significant improvement yet over XP that I'd hope to see, and as with a new release of anything it'll take awhile before all the support is there. There is a lot of the "nag" screens as the system repeatedly asks for permission to run programs in administrator mode that you'll have to get used to, but overall I think it's a step in the right direction (Microsoft's attempt at a "sudo" for Windows).

You need the servername for the shared SSL, you had a mix of the name and IP address. So the correct address is: https://server91.tchmachines.com/~wickedl/g...ics/banner3.gif

For your purpose, running from a shell is the same as running it from cron. As opposed to running it by putting it on your website and hitting a URL. So you will want the #!/usr/bin/php -q as the first line of your file (no blank lines before it), which tells the script where to find the PHP interpreter when the script is executed. If you are running it as cron, you shouldn't have to chown the directory or files, as it'll run as your account, not the webserver account. Location of the script should be anywhere in your account that isn't under public_html directory tree.
-
Actually it looks like you are using non-persistent connections already, but apparently aren't closing them. For every mysql_connect(), you need a mysql_close() after you are done with the connection. (more specifically, mysql_close($sqlvariable), replacing $sqlvariable with the variable used to open the connection). Are these custom written scripts you are using, or a public package? If it's the latter, you may just need to find an update for the package.

I Can't Seem To Send Mail Out Through My Palm Treo 700
MikeJ replied to KellBell's topic in CPanel and Site Maintenance
I'd have to check for the exact setting (I switched away from the Treo), but it sounds like you aren't using authentication on the outgoing smtp, so it will only accept mail destined for that server (i.e., like your domain). Make sure to enable smtp authentication on the Treo for your TCH account, and you should be able to relay mail to external domains. -
You may want to add the line: Options -Indexes to .htaccess as well. That will prevent directory listings from displaying in the event a directory doesn't have an index page.
