i have been with TCH for 10 years. TCH is the best. what happened was unexpected and only brings out the best in TCH. and these things do happen in other NOCs as well. I have a couple of servers at theplanet(now softlayer) and my server there was also affected by their power outage (short circuit) which i think is more preventable than a lightning strike. Here is the article on the >1 day power outage at theplanet which my server was a part of: http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/06/01/explosion-at-the-planet-causes-major-outage/

can edson be up soon as well

hi got a reply from support: The files/folders you are trying to perform chmod/chown should be under the ownership of Apache (nobody). thanks to tina. hmm so my problem now is that i'll need to first chown the folder to nobody from ssh before i can chmod it. or.. i'll need to have php create the folder first so that it owns it and then i can chmod it. ty

thanks carbonize, but same problem. i also set the folder to 777 . i'll just open a ticket about this. ty

it ried full path, same problem: <? if (@chown("/home/eubfnco/public_html/testfolder/", nobody)) echo 'Owner changed<br>'; else echo 'Failed to change owner<br>'; if (@chmod("/home/eubfnco/public_html/testfolder/",777)) echo 'Folder permissions changed'; else echo 'Failed to change permissions'; ?>

done. i did chmod 777 the public_html folder lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 11 May 12 02:53 www -> public_html same problem: Failed to change owner Failed to change permissions ty

yes it is.. basically, i did a test by doing: /public_html/testfolder/ I chmod public_html to 777 and the test script is inside it with this: <? chown("testfolder/", nobody); chmod("testfolder/",777); ?> you can see here http://eubankers.net/test.php

hi! i set the folder where the script is running to 777 but i still get that warning

hi i get that error when i do a test chmod on a folder. how to i make it work? here is the phpinfo: http://eubankers.net/phpinfo.php ty!

thanks for posting my new ip carl, but when i log in to whm i get Unactivated License File i opened a ticket - GII-21328 (also, what would be our new nameserver ips? if whm worked i can easily see it there) ty

I'm planning on making a site that may be prone to ddos due to the nature of the industry.. nothing illegal tho

Hi Is there any way for TCH customers to prevent DDoS attacks on their sites, or are TCH servers already protected from DDoS attacks?

i got a hint from sitepoint forums, which is exactly what i need. 1 word: "replication"

thanks for your replies. I actually need the 2 servers to be in sync in real time. this is because i have a job site, and i want to applicants to access data from server 1 and recruiters on server 2. the reason being, the recruiters are the ones paying, and being in the same box as the applicants, their queries are very slow! what I have in mind is to have all php codes in box1, and when data are inserted/updated/deleted, it saves to both box1 and box2. The recruiters will still use box1 to log in, but their data will come from box2. This means that everytime I do insert/update/delete statements, I will do so once for box1 and another for box2. Do you guys see any problems here? Box 1 is generating a lot of mysql cpu overhead, but memory is stable at 30%. The only overhead this configuration will make is the 2 sql commands instead of 1, but since the commands are issued to separate boxes, it shouldn't have THAT much effect. right? cheers! FYI - box 1 is dedicated server, and I just made an order for box 2

Hi here is the scenario: Lets say I have 2 shared hosting accounts with TCH, one is my primary host the other is backup. Initially, Both have identical php files and database data. The primary one is then launched to the world and the database quickly grows. How do I make it so that whatever changes are done to the primary database is also done to the backup database? thanks!!!!!

right now, your dedicated server packages have pentium 4, 3.06 ghz, but with the introduction of the pentium duo, when do you think will the duo be the standard chip for your dedciated server? thanks

i'll be referring another client to tch, for a reseller account this time. an old client who has a dedicated server with tch will be getting another one. we currently have 2 dedicated servers and 1 shared hosting.

hi i noticed in my mail queue of whm i get some bounced mails from big companies, i assume they reject our mails because of stricter spam check, I use php to send email, please look at sa sample header that got bounced (any suggestions?): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1Ex5Cn-0002vP-Tj-H nobody 99 99 <xx@yyyycom> 1137082901 3 -ident nobody -received_protocol local -body_linecount 26 -auth_id nobody -auth_sender nobody@yyyy.tchdns.com -allow_unqualified_recipient -allow_unqualified_sender -local -sender_set_untrusted XX 1 recipient@his-email.com 156P Received: from nobody by yyy.tchdns.com with local (Exim 4.52) id 1Ex5Cn-0002vP-Tj for recipient@his-email.com; Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:21:41 +0000 029T To: recipient@his-email.com 041 Subject: BREAKING News From yyy 051F From: yyy<breakingnews@yyy.com> 055R Reply-To: yyy<breakingnews@yyy.com> 058* Return-Path: yyy<breakingnews@yyy.com> 018 MIME-Version: 1.0 045 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 055 X-Sender: yyy<breakingnews@yyy.com> 014 X-Priority: 3 026 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal 024 X-Mailer: My PHP Mailer 036 X-MimeOLE: Produced By yyy 056I Message-Id: <E1Ex5Cn-0002vP-Tj@yyy.tchdns.com> 038 Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:21:41 +0000

i used to have a 301 redirect but i removed it already. but even before the 301 redirect, i checked my logs and i seem to have 10% of my hits going to 302 redirects. here is my new .htaccess: php_value session.use_only_cookies 1 php_value session.use_trans_sid 0 its to remove the phpsessid in my links

Hi i don't use 302 redirect in my site, but i see that for the month of september, I got 200k hits for 302 redirects. is this normal?

i did the TOP command in SSh like andy taught me and noticed that cpanel was consistently topping the list. Mysql was also a contender. I can understant mysql using up cpu, but cpanel?

thanks, guys. that helped somewhat but we still have some users who dont get the emails. here's a sample header from them: Return-path: <xx@xxxx.com> Received: from nobody by dedicated115.snhdns.com with local (Exim 4.50) id 1E5LSh-0005gs-6P for xx.xx@xx.xx.com; Wed, 17 Aug 2005 11:47:59 +0100 there's still a nobody showing up. Before, the problem was with the return-path having nobody. The thing with -fname@host.com fixed that one. here's anothor mentioning about our ip: tim.xx@xxx.com SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<tim.xx@xxx.com>: host gnateater.rjf.com [170.12.128.132]: 550 5.7.1 <tim.xx@xxx.com>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [69.50.218.37] SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<lisa.xx@xxx.co.uk>: host xx.co.uk [212.67.202.80]: 550 relaying to <lisa.xx@xx.co.uk> prohibited by administrator (failed to find host name from IP address) so we have a problem with the recipient verifying my server's ip address. any thoughts?

do you think tch would have quad cpu dedicated servers? would the cost double? just planning ahead...

what's -fmyname@myaccount.com for my server? I Think I'll open a ticket for this one

I used your headers, but the mails still end up with nobody in return path... what do you think is wrong? $headers = "From: xxx<$email_mailingupdate2>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: xxx<$email_mailingupdate2>\r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: xxx<$email_mailingupdate2>\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: My PHP Mailer\n"; $headers .= "To: $val <$val>\r\n"; $result=mail($val, $subject,$message,$headers); here is the result: X-Apparently-To: xxx@yahoo.com via 206.190.36.196; Sun, 14 Aug 2005 21:29:40 -0700 X-Originating-IP: [69.50.218.37] Return-Path: <nobody@dedicated115.snhdns.com> Authentication-Results: mta142.mail.mud.yahoo.com from=xxx.com; domainkeys=neutral (no sig) Received: from 69.50.218.37 (EHLO dedicated115.snhdns.com) (69.50.218.37) by mta142.mail.mud.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sun, 14 Aug 2005 21:29:40 -0700 Received: from nobody by dedicated115.snhdns.com with local (Exim 4.50) id 1E4WbS-00026l-Td for xxx@yahoo.com; Mon, 15 Aug 2005 05:29:38 +0100 To: xxx@yahoo.com Subject: test5 From: "xxx" <breakingnews@xxx.com> Add to Address Book Reply-to: xxx<breakingnews@xxx.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Priority: 1 X-MSMail-Priority: High X-Mailer: My PHP Mailer To: xxx@yahoo.com, Message-Id: <E1E4WbS-00026l-Td@dedicated115.snhdns.com> Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 05:29:38 +0100 X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - dedicated115.snhdns.com X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - yahoo.com X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [99 99] / [47 12] X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - dedicated115.snhdns.com X-Source: X-Source-Args: X-Source-Dir: Content-Length: 6
