I have downloaded three Perl Search Scripts. one from Matt's Script Archive, one from NMS Projects, and one from WWW.CGISCRIPT.NET, LLC.

None of them will work. I can't even setup the third one because it reqires me to open a file named csSearch.cgi in my browser, and when I try, I get all kinds of server errors. I chmod it to 755 exactly how it says to do, but still, no dice. the second two run, and give me a result page, but it's always blank. It's not even searching, it's as though I just put alink on a page to another page. It should be searching a file with thousands of entries in it, and that should take a minute or so at least right?

What I'm attempting to do is, my site is organized in sections. I have one subfolder named food. Under food, I have nyc (for recipes exported from Now your're cooking cookbook software), and one for bigoven, (for recipes exported to htm from BigOven cookbook software) Under each of those two folders, are folders for each category. My cookbooks each put out the recipes in individual htm files, and an index.htm file that serves as a link menu list to the recipes. Instead of bogging the search down looking through more than 30,000 files, I want it to go into each index.html in each folder, and search there. According to the instructions with all three of the scripts, that is what they are supposed to do. Alsoi, as my site grows, it's very simple to add search folders to the configuration file.

I can copy and paste the section for the configuration. Right now, I'm working with the one I got from NMS. I can even put the original zip files on my site for download so you would have access the entire script, and the readme files that come with them. For that matter, I would email the zip files to you. I really do need some help.

Is anyone familiar with these scripts? Can anyone help me?

any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim.

Thanks, but I'm still not getting it.

I have Wordpress installed on dreamhost.com.

My blog is located at blog.name.dreamhost.com

I have a wordpress login for the blog, but there was also the login I used when setting up dreatmhost itself.

So far, no combination I have tried seems to give me FTP access to install the plugin into the Wordpress plugin manager list.

Personally, I think our dedicated hosting plan with Alchemy is a pretty screaming deal - it's damn hard to get a dedicated server of any variety as low as $60 a month. But I may be biased. :)

Offhand, here are the most important "gotchas" to keep in mind before jumping on it:

  • These servers are COMPLETELY UNMANAGED. This means that the Dreamhost panel will not recognize them, and you will need to do all the server management (setting up the web server, creating user accounts, backing up your data, etc.) yourself. If you are not familiar with Linux server management, this deal is not for you. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with running your own server, this might be exactly what you want.
  • I mentioned it earlier, but I'll say it again: because these servers are unmanaged, there are no automatic backups. If you have a hardware failure which results in data loss (say, your hard disk crashes), Alchemy's responsibility is limited to replacing the hardware.
  • Since this is a dedicated server, you do not have unlimited resources. In particular, you get a 250 GB hard disk, 4 GB of memory, and 1 TB/month of bandwidth. Alchemy may be able to arrange for upgrades if necessary, but they will cost you.

All SQLite lovers like me will be happy to know that SQLite 3.6.22 (which fixes a bug in SELECTs containing ORs) has been added to PHP5.3.2 branch, so when it will be release we will get the latest, more stable, SQLite version. More here:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3_2/ext/sqlite3/libsqlite/php-sqlite3-changes.patch?view=log

Currently PHP5.3.2 is still in release candidate status.

DH has gotten my attention with their latest announcement about their dedicated server hosting through/with Alchemy. http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-dedicated.html

Prepaid or not, this seems a remarkable deal. Frankly, I've been waiting to see some informed discussion of the service. For my own usage, it is a potential replacement for unmanaged VPS services. I've read a couple of caveats/concerns around the web about the network but is there anyone out there with experience of the service or willing to pipe in here with your own thoughts?

Hopefully the thread serves as a placeholder for any discussion on the topic. At least my own periodic searches should come up with a single hit now.

I used "Executable PHP widget" and I don't remember having any trouble getting it to install.

For what it's asking, it's either your FTP user (on example.com), or your Database User (on db.example.com).

Yes, DreamHost standard PHP installation has zend optimizer installed. You can check the particulars for your server's PHP version by inspecting the details in the output of phpinfo().

They have resolved my issue. They lost some packages in the reboot. They changed the OS from a network image to a local copy on each server.

Hello everyone,

if possible I'd like some beginner help with installing the Wordpress plugin 'exec-php'.

I have got as far as locating the plugin and clicking the install button, at which point I am asked for a server, username and password. I am uncertain as to which details are required (i.e. is this a dreamhost password, a wordpress one, some other?) nor what format the server name should take.

Might I be pointed in the right direction to find an answer to my query? Thanks.

Until today, I hadn't read a good explanation of the issue. You can find the official explanation here: http://memcron.com/2009/08/memcron-0_4_1-fixes-memory-issues/#comments
by scrolling down to the bottom of the comments and looking for Aaron Fowler's post.

Also, Ben, who's been modifying the memcron script, is "working on a new version that collects memory from /proc/[pid]/stat directly" that he expects will fix the issue. You may need to do the same in psmanager.

You will have to add *some* sort of hosting for that new domain to get DNS turned on.
1) Add a Parked domain for example.com
2) Add a parked domain for sub.example.com
3) Delete the parked domain for example.com
4) Edit DNS for example.com

I believe that Step 2 requires Step 1 first, but you might be able to skip #1.

I purchased a new domain name from Dreamhost today. I need to change the A-Record on the domain, but the option isn't there. My DH hosted domain has a DNS section underneath it in 'Manage Domains.' The new domain does not.

The instructions I am finding on the web say to click on DNS to change the A-Record. In fact, many of these instructions have pictures as they are showing people how to move their hosting. Thus, they say to delete the hosting under 'Manage Domains' and then to click the DNS option and change it.

Here in this forum I read that I will not have that option DNS until I add hosting.

So, my question is: Since I just bought this today am I being impatient and I have to wait 1-3 days before everything has propagated before the DNS option shows up, or is that option only available when I add hosting?

Any help is appreciated for my silly question.

I purchased a new domain name from Dreamhost today. I need to change the A-Record on the domain, but the option isn't there. My DH hosted domain has a DNS section underneath it in 'Manage Domains.' The new domain does not.

The instructions I am finding on the web say to click on DNS to change the A-Record. In fact, many of these instructions have pictures as they are showing people how to move their hosting. Thus, they say to delete the hosting under 'Manage Domains' and then to click the DNS option and change it.

Here in this forum I read that I will not have that option DNS until I add hosting.

So, my question is: Since I just bought this today am I being impatient and I have to wait 1-3 days before everything has propagated before the DNS option shows up, or is that option only available when I add hosting?

Any help is appreciated for my silly question.

ok. i am going to create a 301 redirect.

what do you think of this code? i will create a file with notepad, then save it as .htaacess then upload to my root?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain\.com

SFTP is by far the better choice. It is more secure.

The file would be an installer file for people to download and it would contain all the files of the mod. It could be very stressful for the server if the mod would prove to be popular.

It would be a public (and free) file for anyone to download.

Sharing directories in a user's home directory is a real hassle. Your best bet is to create a new FTP user and then change ownership of site2. This is why I create a new user for each domain I manage. Now you just need two FTP profiles depending on which site you want to FTP to.

Go to the Panel for Users -> Manage Users and Add a New User.
Once that's done, go to the Panel for Domains -> Manage Domain and click Edit for site2. In the Fully Hosted section up top, use the dropdown menu for Users/Files/Paths and select your new user. A checkbox will appear asking if you want to move all files.

Hi everyone,

I was asked to post my problem here after I chatted with someone in tech support...

I am trying to password protect a directory on our website that uses Joomla. When I use the web panel to generate the protection, it implements it, but gives me a redirect to the home page instead of a password prompt.

The tech person I was chatting with suggested it is a joomla issue in the sense that the directory, millerperformancecars.com/blitz/Krieg/ isn't actually in that location?

We are trying to protect some software that is to be downloaded by our installer of a product we offer.

I tried manually generating an .htaccess and passwd file in that directory and still nothing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the input. I'm a returning customer for hosting but have always had my domain registration with Dreamhost. I had trouble with "user name invalid" on the FULLY host set-up page at and at one point I clicked on "dsn hosting only" by mistake. I've changed it back several times with "success" but the panel still says dns instead of FULLY. I'm now in contact with support for what I hope will be a happy outcome.

Thanks again,

If that file is part of your website operations (i.e. your site is about half life and your mod), then it's worth a try, as I think the servers can handle a simple download. Your request isn't much different from people who create video files and make them available on their sites.

Another option to look into is Files Forever, but I'm not sure how well that suits your needs:

Hi,
Will my sites be blacklisted from the google search engine if they have duplicate content? they are all fully hosted domains. I bought multiple domains because I thought I would get some direct traffic that way since the names were all so aptly related to my site, but i would still like to be in indexed by google. I made one joomla site. i just backed up that one site and installed that same content (created new db's for the other sites) onto the other domains. I have read some conflicting info on this and wondering if anyone at dreamhost would give me their take. i really like the domain names and want to keep, but don't want to use them if google will spank me.

I do have some google adsense ads, not a lot but i do get some clicks and enjoy those fews cents and would not want to jeorpordize that. i was thinking about rephrasing the site discription on the main page and the other pages, but the key words would stay the same. i don't know...

If it's DNS that you mean, then that's in the panel under Domains -> Registration. Click on the registered domain and click the Modify WHOIS info button at the button.

If it's the actual website hosting, then go to Domains -> Manage Domains and click your domain name and use the top section to set up Fully Hosted. If you wiped out your hosted site here and are trying to get it back, you may have to contact Support to see if they can restore your files.

Hello,

I wasn't really sure where to post this, because I have never used the support before so forgive me if this is not the correct section. I am also in a bit hurry so I didn't have time to go through all the wiki pages to see if some of them something about the subject. I didn't know where to look.

So, basically we are planning to release our Half-Life 2 modification very soon. The mod takes about 1.5Gb and we are looking into options on where to have it for download.

The dreamhost panel says, like it should, Total Bandwidth Provided: unlimited. But common sense says me that it might not be as simple as hosting the 1.5Gb file there, have it been downloaded by people, and hoping the server wont die or get extremely laggy. My question is, even though it says unlimited, is there some kind of limit of what the server can take, and should I try to host it there, or just stick to websites that are specialized in this kind of thing.

A domain name costs $10/yr. You get one free with a hosting plan, so your fitness one would be included with the plan cost, but a graphics domain will cost another $10/yr for registration. Subdomains are free, so with your free example.com domain, you can just pile on graphics.example.com, hobby.example.com, etc. to your existing plan for no registration cost. But if you want to separate your activities by domain name, that's when it'll cost extra.

Domains registered here (or anywhere else) can be transferred to another registrar. Or you can just keep it registered here for $10/yr.

Thanks for replying Scott.

I mostly use Wordpad for those free sites. Never liked Notepad but have heard good things about Notepad ++.

I haven't registered anything; those were merely crappy names I came up with for the purpose of explaining.

The extra 10$/yr, could you expand on that? Does that mean web pages would look like katgraphics.com/blends.html etc. or does that mean it would be katgraphics.com for the main site but pages within would have the URL of katfitness? Sorry if that sounds muddled.

I checked out the wiki and it helped but I wondered about having my domain registered with DreamHost.... if I decided to leave after two years and end my hosting, what happens to my domain if I wanted to keep it?

The extra 10$/yr, could you expand on that? Does that mean web pages would look like katgraphics.com/blends.html etc. or does that mean it would be katgraphics.com for the main site but pages within would have the URL of katfitness? Sorry if that sounds muddled.

I checked out the wiki and it helped but I wondered about having my domain registered with DreamHost.... if I decided to leave after two years and end my hosting, what happens to my domain if I wanted to keep it?

If you're within the first 97 days, contact Sales/Support. Beyond 97 days, make sure you've turned off AutoPay in the Account:Payment section so your account doesn't get renewed automatically.

You'll get tons of help here in the forum. If something is broken, support will help you. There's also the wiki:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Main_Page

Notepad isn't a good plain-text editor. I'm not a Windows user, but I know that someone here has recommended a good one.

You get an unlimited number of domains and subdomains on your account, but you'll have to register them yourself, which it sounds like you've already done for katfitness. You can add subdomains such as graphics.katfitness.com, or just pay an extra $10/yr for katgraphics.com and add that to your existing hosting plan.

Hello. I'm working on my fitness website. It will not have many pages and only a dozen or so photos with articles so bandwidth isn't a concern. I have found a free template I like and am modifying it now. My content is almost complete.

I once did a test run with another paid host but had FTP issues which they did not really help me resolve. If I sign up for web hosting and have FTP problems, will someone actually help me? Walk me through it, perhaps in LIVE chat or at the very least with constructive back and forth emailing?

I know html and a bit of CSS and I've tried out my template on free webhosts where it's a matter of copying and pasting. That was easy. I modified it in Notepad and the like and tested it out. How difficult will it be for me to implement my website without a webpage builder like Freewebs? I'm a novice. I know nothing of MySLQ or databases and the like.

Also, if I choose to have domain hosting, does that mean I can host subdomains and domains? I'm confused by what they both actually offer. Let's say my website is http:/ /katfitness.com and I decided I wanted to start a graphics site. Could the graphics site be hosted under the fitness site but not have the http:/ /katfitness.com/katgraphics? Could I actually have my own unique URL like http:/ /katgraphics meaning that I would be hosted on the "main" fitness site. Color me confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your domain's using PHP 5.2.12, so the PHP version isn't the problem. I'm not too familiar with vBulletin, but the error you're seeing ("Class 'vB_Cache' not found") makes it sound like you might have some missing or outdated files in your vB install.

I'm trying to install vBulletin vs4 which requires PHP 5.2.6.

I know DH has PHP 5 but I'm hoping they upgrade it as much as possible? Any ideas of exactly which version DH has installed.

Installation of vB went fine when installing vB but I'm getting the error when I click Main Forum at

I'm curious as to why you're trying to Delete spam. That stuff *should* be landing in the Junk/Spam folder. How is it showing up in All Mail?

A handy thing to remember is that you can click on an IMAP folder, then click on the Mailboxes menu and select "Use This Mailbox For" junk, trash, sent, etc. For Gmail, I have the "All Mail" folder set as Trash, which means that Gmail's real Trash folder shows up as a second Trash folder farther down my folder list, but without the fancy wastebasket icon.

Short Answer: Don't try to delete Spam. Instead move it to the Spam folder (where it is periodically deleted).

Long Explanation:

The important thing to remember about GMail is that it uses a tag or label-based system for organizing mail, rather then the traditional folder organization. For example, rather then keep new messages in an Inbox folder, GMail just labels new messages with the "Inbox" label. To remove a message from the Inbox, you "Archives" the message, which removes the label. Messages can have any number of labels. Typically you never deletes messages in GMail, you just remove labels. A message with no labels can still always be found in the "All Mail" psuedo-label, which is really the list of all messages not labeled Spam.

GMail's IMAP interface maps this label system to folders, but it can never be a perfect match. Mail.app uses GMail's IMAP interface, so some operations can be mysterious. In particular, the IMAP Delete command is mapped to GMail's Archive command, so deleting in Mail.app is really just removing a label.

This makes the "All Mail" folder particularly strange. Since "All Mail" is not a real label in GMail, messages cannot be deleted from it via IMAP because Archiving a message in "All Mail" is basically a no-op (there is no label to remove). So, as you have observed, there is no way to delete a message in the "All Mail" folder (in the standard IMAP setup -- you can truly delete message via the GMail web interface).

The Spam label in GMail is special, because anything labelled Spam will not appear in the "All Mail" psuedo-label. So in Mail.app, rather then trying to delete spam messages from "All Mail", you should label it Spam by moving it to the Spam folder. This has two benefits, first it will remove the message from "All Mail" , and second, it will teach GMail that the message is spam. This will cause GMail to adjust its Spam filters to automatically classify Viagra emails as spam. If you don't mark Viagra emails as spam, GMail may conclude you actually want those emails.

Recently, I've noticed a change in GMail/Mail.app interaction. When I move a spam message from Inbox to the Spam folder, the message won't immediately disappear from the Inbox. Instead it will become gray. I think gray messages are cleaned up and removed periodically, but you can force the cleanup by selecting Mailbox>Erase-Deleted-Messages.

Hope this Helps - Chuck
