I'm a bit confused on a couple of issues. You've been a customer for 5 years, yet this is the *first* time you've ever posted to the forums. You've not even posted asking for solutions for the email outage. Email being down for 24 hours can mean a number of things, either inbound or outbound, which you haven't clarified. Also, as a customer for 5 years, you should know that there's no need to submit "multiple" service requests in a 24 hour period, as that just clogs up the system.

Drop-shipping is when you sell products to people from a supplier but that supplier is the one that actually ships the products to your customers instead of having to get the items shipped to you and then you ship to them. A lot of people who have their own business actually use drop-shipping (and I'm one of them). It is easier as you do not have to deal with having physical inventory if you don't want to and if you want to sell primarily online instead of having a physical store location. Usually there is some sort of membership fee that you would pay yearly. It just depends on the drop-shipper though and if they have a large catalog of products or are selling a few specialty items.

I prefer to have separate web hosting and domain name registration. I have heard too many times about someone's site getting shut down for some reason and their domains held hostage. Not to say I would do anything to have my account terminated but you never know. I have a couple of domains hosted with DH but I use a separate host for the bulk of my domains.

I've been a customer almost 5 years. In the beginning, you could not beat the bang for the buck. Trouble tickets were answered quickly. Something has changed. Our email has been DOWN FOR OVER 24 HOURS! No response to multiple service requests. I think it is time to look for alternatives.

A quote from one of the service tags that sums up the current attitude.

"I think it is interesting that in the FAQ about moving from shell to a separate email service, they insult and belittle the customers that have been with them the longest. In my business, those are the ones we take care of.

It was not my choice to have mail in the shell account. That is how they did it when we joined. It was not my choice to have it screwed up by Dreamhost in the move to a separate server. I'm not an idiot for staying with shell email, the purpose of having a ISP is to not have to worry about the technology.

It would not have been that hard to address this long before the server crashed. All I would have needed was to backup the email directory in the shell before they tried to move it."

It's nothing to do with dreamhost. Use a view source function in your browser and you will see that. It's just that href="text" is read by the browser as "http://currentdomain/text". Put the full link in as in href="http://www.bling.com".

Does somebody know why or how URLs / links in my htm and php are being amended with Dreamhost?
I have ONE simple page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
another test <a href="www.bling.com" target="_blank">bling</a>
</body>
</html>

Just to prove it has nothing to do with code (javascript, etc.) on my part.

Now the above code should be a clean page with the words 'another test' hyperlinked to bling.com and opening in a new browser window... simple enough!

But, the hyperlink when hovered/pressed gives me this:
http://www.mydomain.com/test/http://www.bling.com

What gives?

You'll need to give yourself SSH/Shell access and use PuTTY to log in and examine what you have so far.

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Ssh

First order is to run the dos2unix command on each file you've uploaded. Here are some shell tips:

I changed the user of a domain that has a old joomla 1.0 site on it.

I changed the configuation.php file to the new user and the site loaded ok.

But none of the sites internal links work now.
It comes up with an error:

"Not Found

The requested URL /component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,

We are planning to implement GnuPG to work with Formmail, however some setup is needed on the server side (GnuPG Installation via SSH). I was unable to find a good documentation regarding this specific section.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi

I found the my sites hosted by DreamHost are very slow and unstable. I sent request to CS for many times but every reply were not related and even nonsense.

Any guys also had such experience? Please give me some advise. I'm new to here and I don't wanted to give up my paid service charge and switch to another hosting company...

I don't think all of you guys have the same problem because my friend who also use dreamhost but his site up and running find (http://blog.hk). But my site (http://hkcollege.net) was unstable or even down for about 2 weeks...

Thanks and Regards.

I have been a customer since 2004. I have referred many people to Dreamhost over the years. I have been paying for a VPS for a few years now.

Sometime last week (around Nov 12th), all of my sites went down. I only noticed this because I tried to access one and was taken to an empty root directory.

I am missing literally 100s of GB of data. I have gone back and forth with Dreamhost customer support for the past 7 days in an effort. Despite them telling me it is being fixed, there has been virtually no progress made. ALL of my dreamhost-hosted domains are down (both business and personal).

I am absolutely beyond words to describe this experience and despite making repeated requests for someone to call me, have yet to speak with a new rep.

Has anyone else experienced this - ever - with ANY company? This is unbelievably insane to me.

Hi,

I need to password protect a range of files that will be managed by the Wordpress uploader. I don't know exactly where the file will be within the uploads folder, and I don't know in advance the exact filename.

I think .htaccess <FilesMatch> will suit my needs, though I'm open to alternative suggestions. My main consideration is that the end user not have to do anything technical or difficult to protect the uploaded file.

I've tried the following:

____ code _____

<FilesMatch "private\.*$">
AuthName "Private File"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /mydomain.com/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

____ end code _____

You can see I'm attempting to password protect any file that has the word private in the name. This isn't working though, and the file "http://www.mydomain.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/private_mydoc.docx" is still able to be downloaded without a password.

Any suggestions on how I can better manage this?

track7.org is built from scratch — it’s all my own php code. i’ve also set up a site for my neighborhood association using a lot of the same code, available here: http://www.track7.org/analogu/scripts/aulib

also i forgot to mention that while i set up mail.track7.org and calendar.track7.org, visiting either of those sends me to https://www.google.com/a/track7.org/... that seems to be the way google apps work.

I have a site that networks with other non-profit agencies and is involved in community projects.

There's a need for archiving our mail permanently for legal reasons.

I have my panel set to automatically forward a copy of all email 'inbound' to the server to an archive mailbox. My users access their mailboxes through Outlook, Windows Mail, etc.

I've used dreamhost going on two years, but I can't determine if or how to retain a copy of outbound mail of my users.

Any advice?

You can't. The Unlimited plans have no quotas. Your best bet is just to monitor usage and notify users when they go past a certain amount.

Hello,
I've been trying to limit one of my hostings, but I don't know how to do it.
I just can see the storage, but I don't find anything about limiting it on dreamhost control panel.

Does anybody knows how to do it?

It's an awesome plugin!
I just installed and run it.


However, I go into the php.ini file and change the two little things I need BUT when I run the test info.php, the values listed do not seem to have changed... even when refreshing the page.
Is there a reason for this??

You'll definitely need Support's help. First off, you can't move hosting over to an account that was created with a promo code. This prevents discount hopping.

I think they're also able to migrate a domain over to a different owner's hosting plan.

I'm a freelance web content manager and have a client who currently has his website hosted through an employee's personal DreamHost account.

He wants to split his website and everything that goes with it (hosting, domain, email, databases) off into his own account.

The employee has given me full admin privileges to his personal account, but I'm struggling to find a way to split the account without downloading my client's information to a local machine and then re-uploading it to a new account.

Since we're staying within DreamHost, I was hoping there would be an easy way to separate designated information from the original account to another without messing around with downloading and uploading content to a local machine.

I don't mind downloading and uploading the website and its associated database, but they have some decent sized email accounts that I prefer not to do this with.

The bottom line is that I want to create a new web and email hosting account for my client with as little downtime as possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all your replies. I have checked, it still loads the original php.ini. I have changed the value of upload_max_filesize to 100M.

Regarding Windows line endings, I have tried to view those files in webftp. It seems that all is display clean & properly.

The issue isn't whether the file is plain text or not - the problem with Notepad is that it creates files with Windows line endings. Some Linux programs are fine with this, but some things (shell scripts, in particular) get very confused by the "wrong" line endings. This is why we recommend using something else, like pico (in a shell) to do this sort of work!

If I were to set it to:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=index.html">
i.e. so that as soon as the page loads it refreshes and shows the latest content, then it would refresh infinitely, am I wrong?

Is there any way of requesting it to refresh just once?

Thanks sXi. Could you give me an idea of a search term for google?

I'm guessing by the sound of 'no-cache' that it might be a solution that stops the user caching cookies... if this is the case do you foresee any problems in load times etc?
