If says that your files are outdated, you need to do first svn update to get the changes you may have done from other machine or a partner may have commited (let say, you don't have the most up to date version of the revision tree, and because of this svn don't let you commit), then do a svn stat to know if you had conflicts (that need attention) and then you can do a svn commit (svn ci for short)...

A great reading for user and admin is http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ available on line.

Pst. An actual cut & paste of the messages you got, will work a lot better ;D

The DNS entries for my Jabber server are CNAMEs for my main domain. I guess this is good news, as all you need is the IP address of your DreamHost webserver, even though you're not using it. I hope your domain still exists here, even though DNS doesn't point to it.

If you click on Domains -> Manage Domains, then DNS next to your domain name, you should see all the info you need. For my domain, my Jabber entries are:
aim.jabber.mydomain.com
conference.jabber.mydomain.com
msn.jabber.mydomain.com

(minus the .mydomain.com, as that's implied within DNS) they are all CNAMEs for mydomain.com, which is the IP address of MYWEBSERVER.dreamhost.com

Is this the Easy Install, or Advanced One-Click install? It sounds to me like you've entered an incorrect database name, hostname, username, or password. Upon completion of the One-Click install, the "Robot" will email you with the proper settings to use. You *won't* be using your FTP username and password to access the database.

I do not know if it will, or will not, install on a DreamHost shared server. I looked at the specifications document but it did not have a clear set of system requirements. It did, however, include this text:

"The dimdim back end has two servers – Conference Server and a Streaming Server. The conference server hosts all the conferences taking place on that server while there is a dedicated streaming server for each conference server."

Theses statements alone indicate that whether or not you could succeed in installing it, doing so would not be allowed on a DreamHost shared account, as stated in the Terms of Service and clarified in the DreamHost Wiki.

Wow. I have nothing to add from the legal perspective other than the advice from dwr and scott sounds good to me, but I did want to chime in with sympathy for your position.

I have a friend who had a similar situation with a real-world business where they formed a company together and then the "other guy" left to pursue other opportunities. He later came back to claim his ownership rights and I think he had to be given a big payout to go away. This was a different situation from yours because there were actual business ownership interests involved.

A couple of extra thoughts:
1. I know your situation probably wasn't an official business, but one thought process is to consider what the conclusion would be if it were. Is there any current monetary value in the site and what would Bob's share be if he were considered an equal partner in the venture?
2. People who threaten legal action aren't the ones who take legal action. The first you'll hear from those folks will be the legal notifications.
3. Don't take legal advice from anyone who hasn't studied law. Common sense doesn't apply in the courtroom. (please apply this to me)
4. Bob is probably just ticked off for some reason and looking for revenge. See what you can do to find out what's really bothering him without "admitting" anything that will be damaging in court.
5. I'd really like to see how this would play out in front of Judge Judy. Have you considered proposing this to Bob? I think the show pays for any judgment.

Can anyone say for sure if DimDim will or will not install at DH? I'd think not. It seems to have a number of server-side dependencies.

Hi!

I moved one of my domains to my own DNS servers, but I still want to use DH's Jabber server. Can somebody tell me where my SRV records have to point? I can't point them to mydomain.com because mydomains.com's A record points to my VPS and I only want to host some subdomains with DH.

Thanks,
Jan

I'm surprised he claimed the ownership of the content. For my sites, my little disclaimer says that content is copyright of the creator. I wouldn't want to claim ownership of all content; especially if some of it may be slanderous or otherwise legally questionable (not that it is, but who knows what might show up).

What copyrights or legal print was on the site? Anything claiming rights?

I'm not a lawyer, but I just don't see how he can claim ownership of content he did not create.

I'm can't seem to get Perl and FastCGI to work. My script is the basic helloworld script on the wiki:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use lib qw( /home/myusername/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 );
use FCGI;
use Socket qw( :crlf ); # server agnostic line endings in $CRLF

my $counter = 0;
while ( FCGI::accept() >= 0 ) {
$counter++;

print
"Content-Type: text/plain",
$CRLF,
$CRLF,
"Hello World, in Perl FastCGI!",
$CRLF,
"I am process $$.",
$CRLF,
"I have served $counter request(s).",
$CRLF;
}

The script runs fine if I try to just run it. My .htaccess file looks like this:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(test/script/dispatch\.fcgi/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ test/script/dispatch.fcgi/$1 [PT,L]

But, but whenver I visit my domain I get these (not very helpful) error messages in my error.log:
[Sat Jul 26 16:07:01 2008] [error] [client 12.216.230.180] FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/mnt/local/home/myusername/catalyst-test.mydomain.com/test/script/dispatch.fcgi" aborted: (first read) idle timeout (60 sec)

The best place to ask this question would be the legal section of dnforum.com, where they do have domain lawyers who come by to help with questions like this from time to time (at least they did when I hung there a little).

This is not "legal advice", but what I myself would do would be to send him a reply that says "Go get f'd".

Hello everyone, first time posting here! I have a dilemma and I respectfully ask that those with legal 'net knowledge give some insight to the issue...

Here's how it goes: There was originally a community website owned by another person (let's call him Bob) using a different webhost. Bob had problems with keeping up the site's maintenance, and after a few hacking attacks he let me take over its development and maintenance.

So I decided to scrap everything in the original website, and build a new one on my DreamHost account. Bob retained ownership of the domain and pointed the domain to my account.

I then set to work building the community website, and in time amassed a decently-sized and popular website with plenty of user content and customizations to the web applications I installed from scratch. Bob pretty much disappeared the entire time (for almost a year), dropping by every couple of months or so.

The last couple of months, me and other admins started building a new version of the site, to be placed on a different domain. We were going to just redirect the original domain to the new one, and slowly phase out the old domain until the new one came into dominance.

Bob was never a very likable guy in the first place, and recently we had a quarrel with Bob on how the site was managed. Bob then proceeded to redirect his old domain to another website without any warning, and we were forced to put the old site on the new domain prematurely. It goes without saying that it damaged the community on a large scale due to the confusion it caused, and we banned Bob as a result for web abuse.

This is not the primary issue. A month later Bob came back and sent me this message:

In reply to:

I will keep this short and sweet. Take down any forum posts and information prior to me switching the dns servers . You may, or may not be aware of the rights of a domain owner, the fact of the matter is who can claim the domain at any point in time, also can claim any content.

You are currently collecting money via google ads and various other affiliate programs on what I consider my property. You can take this message as you will, but I will and intend to fight this to the letter of the law and will pursue this in a legal fashion. It would behoove you to yield to this request and comply.

Should you decide not to comply with my reasonable request, I will be forced to pursue any and all civil actions against you and all parties associated with (the new domain/site) for costs, damages and associated fees.

Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

(Bob)

I want to know how much right he has to claim to own the content of the site. I owned the webhosting account afterall, none of the content in the site was made by him or was originally his, all he happened to own was the web domain that it pointed to for less than a year. And now all the site content is located on the domain that I own.

Who has more rights to the content? It's like saying that I could purchase a domain, point it to any site, and then claim to own it. Granted it was to dreamhost's dns server and I registered it to the dreamhost account, but in my opinion that makes for a massive gray area.

Your thoughts are most appreciated, thanks!

(By the way, we're complying to his demands and will be rolling in the new site tonight on our own domain/account. But I would still like to get this straightened out, and may want to archive the old content for public access. Also, the only revenue generated were from google ads, which is registered to my google account)

I'm not entirely sure if this correct, but you may try running the command 'svn st' (svn status) to see what the status of your files are. It is possible that you may have some conflicts somewhere that need to be resolved.

Also, SVN does have a locking mechanism so it also possible that SVN thinks those files are locked. I forget the command to fix this issue, but if you the command 'svn' it will give a list of all the supported subcommads, and then just use 'svn help' for more info on one.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
I am still haveing trouble installing this software. I have followed the instructions as stated by the script and I'm still getting an error: "Cannot create admin directory."
This is what I'm doing step by step:

1) creat the mysql database name, mysql username and mysql password

2)create a directory called "st" underneath your web root directory

3)made sure the permissions of this directory are chmodded to 777

4)downloaded the installer file install.php and saved it under the "st" directory.

5)started the installer from my internet browser, clicked on the link which says "Click here to download installation files". and downloaded the installation files.

6) after i downloaded the installation files i get this msg "files successfully downloaded START INSTALLATION"

7)this is the final step in which i can't proceed any firther because i get this error msg: "Cannot create admin directory"

can you tell me what i am doing wrong. i tried doing this installation a thousand times and it may be some minute that i am overlooking or not doing. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi.

I'm using svn for my projects and well frankly I started using first when I became a dreamhost customer, before that I stuck with cvs as I've done since the stoneages ;)

Anyways now and then it completely locks and says stuff is outdated and refuse to commit. It does not help at all to use the --force flag.

Is there anyway you can force svn to commit? or how do one resolve these issues?

when svn refuse to commit the repository has basicly commited suicide(lol :) ) on my part, because atm the only way I know how to fix the problem is to remove the repsoitory and create a new one (loosing all previous versions)..

cheers,
Stian

I guess the true move won't happen until next friday...but I do have a question, and i'd rather post it in here, rather than the status page.

DH states this: "Also if you have a domain you need up and you have the files locally, you can switch the user for the domain and upload your files to get your domain running."

Does this mean
• I create a new ftp user
• add that user to the domain

then I can upload my files? my current ftp user doesn't seem to work, even when i try to change the password.

The issue really isn't space, as the OP is using S3 for the backup site. The gray area is the actual content that's passing through his DreamHost account.

I suspect it's "ok" for what they're doing, but it's always nice to get the seal of approval from DreamHost itself.

The account space at DH (and all other professional, established webhosting companies) is to be used for webhosting, not for file storage. Yeah, I know - When does webhosting become storage and vice versa? It's a doosie.

Unlike many other companies DH do have a file storage system that is separated from your 'main' webhosting account. I can't recall the pricing structure in place off the top of my head but I remember it being on a 'per Gig' basis and dirt cheap in comparison to the available file storage businesses I looked at earlier this year.

Is the imported database local on your DreamHost account or are you trying to import it from your old site at another Host?

What I would do is take a backup of your old database. Download it to your own PC then upload to your DreamHost account. Then from phpmyadmin you can import the local database backup.

Just to add to what silkrooster said, and provide a convenient link to the information he mentioned:

" What is your DirectoryIndex setting?

The DirectoryIndex command lists all the files Apache should look for (in order) to determine what to display when somebody goes to a URL for a directory. That is, it's the default file name for your web site. Ours is set to:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.htm Index.html Index.htm Index.shtml default.htm Default.htm default.html Default.html default.shtml Default.shtml page1.html index.pl index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.phtml home.htm home.html home.shtml index.wml

As long as you name your "index" file any one of those things, it will work!

If you have two files with names from that list, Apache will show the one that shows up first (e.g. index.html will show up, even if you have an index.php file in the same directory).

You can change your own DirectoryIndex setting to be anything you'd like via an .htaccess file too!"

By default DH expects a index page when someone logs onto your url. So renaming the splash.html to index.html and uploading it to the folder that matches your url will allow viewers to see your splash page.
There is a way to change the filename in the htaccess file to use another name than index, but I will have to let someone else tell you. I read about several times, never done and can not remember it. I cahalk that up to being old, but that does not fly when I talk to someone older than me. lol.
Take care,

I have the html document all ready. Everything is set. The only problem, is that I just don't know how to make zrpg.net... that html document! How do you do it? I am really confused.

Right now, the page I want zrpg.net to be is zrpg.net/splash.html .

It's a little hard to troubleshoot this considering I don't know what plugin is causing problems, but you're receiving this error because that sql doesn't indicate what table to select from.

I would suggest searching your source code for "ORDER BY vid" in an attempt to identify what the problematic code is.

This is a complete shot in the dark but I would identify what version of PHP you're running, and whether the wordpress plugin claims to support that version.

I have tried the speed test suggested by Scott and my maximum upload speed was 82 Kb/second plus or minus a kilobyte for three different locations. If I can always achieve that speed with the first file I upload to my website with DreamHost in a session then I will be happy. I hope the switch to using SFTP provides a long term solution. Thank you for your assistance Scott.

I have a custom gem source installed in ~/.gems. My ~/.bashrc looks like:

export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gems"
export GEM_PATH="$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8"
export PATH="$HOME/.gems/bin:$PATH"

My ~/.gemrc looks like:

gemhome: /home/bjhess/.gems
gempath:
- /home/bjhess/.gems
- /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

So. I can run ruby jobs with special "requires" from my local gems fine via the command-line. However, when shoving the command into a recurring cron task, I get "no such file to load" errors:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- flickr_fu (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
from /home/.../.../scripts/slurp_flickr.rb:2

And if I try to call a command directly provided by a local gem (say, "staticmatic"), I get:

/bin/sh: line 1: staticmatic: command not found

What paths do I need to update to make these custom gems available from cron? I've scoured the 'net and the cron wiki for answers, but I can't fine 'em!

TIA,

Barry

Hello

I haven't built a website in about 4 years now and I am going to rebuild my archiac site in Wordpress, because I can't be bothered to wait until I learn php. I have a registered a domain on Dreamhost, I have installed Wordpress, I haven't pointed the DNS away from the old site (and host) yet. I wanted to bring the site up to speed before launching it, which might take sometime.

My question is; is there a way to edit wordpress other than making it live on the web to edit? I guess I am old fashioned to want to do things like html days, plus I have a bunch of content to move over which will make my site look kind of stupid unless I get everything updated.

Hi,
I've got a small mod_rewrite problem, where if i try using mod_rewrite at the same time as the addhandler for a custom php version i get error 500. If i remove the custom php from the .htaccess file, it works the way i want it to. The same goes if i remove the mod_rewrite code the custom php runs fine. I know the custom install of php is working fine because it is currently being used on all my other sites without any problems.
The only thing i have in the .htaccess is as follows:

AddHandler php-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php.cgi


RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|application/images|application/scripts|application/css|application/content|application/settings|favicon.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L]

Can anyone spot what is wrong with it? Or show me another way of accomplishing the same thing with mod_rewrite. Thanks for any reply and or suggestions

Hi,
I've got a small mod_rewrite problem, where if i try using mod_rewrite at the same time as the addhandler for a custom php version i get error 500. If i remove the custom php from the .htaccess file, it works the way i want it to. The same goes if i remove the mod_rewrite code the custom php runs fine. I know the custom install of php is working fine because it is currently being used on all my other sites without any problems.
The only thing i have in the .htaccess is as follows:

AddHandler php-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php.cgi


RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|application/images|application/scripts|application/css|application/content|application/settings|favicon.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L]

Can anyone spot what is wrong with it? Or show me another way of accomplishing the same thing with mod_rewrite. Thanks for any reply and or suggestions

It's not uncommon for an ISP to allow for a high speed burst which then settles down to your actual connection speed. If you want to test a sustained transfer, you can try a speed test such as the following:

I think I might be connected now. My problem was that I had double quotes around all my variables of username, password, db name and hostname...

Maybe I can't even connect this way.

I have a php file called output.php which required dbinfo.php to connect.

Its getting to the connection and saying access is denied. I'm just hitting the url in IE.

www.myurl.com/output.php

Is that doable?

Thank you Scott

I have switched from FTP to SFTP in response to your suggestion.

Using FTP I tried running a test of uploading two files of approximately 1 Mb in size. The first file was uploading at a speed of approximately 500 bytes/second when my connection with DreamHost spontaneously disconnected after only 4 Kb of the file had been uploaded. I then reconnected and the second file uploaded at about 80 Kb/second. The maximum speed I saw among the fluctuating speeds on the screen during the file uploads was 1000 bytes/second for the first file and 110 Kb/second for the second file. The speeds kept decreasing as the uploads progressed.

Under SFTP I have just tried uploading two files that are just over 7 Mb in size. Both the first and the second file uploaded at about 80 Kb/second. The maximum speeds I saw among the fluctuating speeds on the screen were about 400 Kb/second but they soon dropped to 80 Kb/second and then stayed fairly constant.

I will have to watch over the next few weeks to see if using SFTP does solve the problem. I have noticed in the past that the first file sometimes uploads as fast as the others in situations where I have recently connected to my website with Fetch. I have connected to my website at least a half dozen times with Fetch during the past two days.

If anyone else is considering switching from the default FTP to SFTP then I suggest you read the following two articles in the DreamHost Wiki:

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/SFTP

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Enabling_Shell_Access

In addition to selecting SFTP in Fetch (my FTP program on a Mac) I discovered that I also had to enter the DreamHost Control Panel and make a preference change in my account to enable SFTP protocol file transfers as explained in the two DreamHost Wiki articles.

I have the php file on the server and I'm just trying to hit the file in IE.

I made the database earlier and I have connected through the web based phpadmin. I've checked over the user, password and added your advice to the hostname. I'm kinda stumped now...

I got this code and it looks reasonable...I have a require statement which holds these variables.

// Opens a connection to a mySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect ($hostname, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}

// Set the active mySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}

Are you running a php script that is trying to access the MySQL database locally on your account or are you trying to access it remotely say from home/work?


Check your script uses your MySQL hostname,user and password and that they have been entered correctly.

Getting acces denied, so I must have more than that wrong...ugh

Thanks for the advice! I was wondering what that 2nd chance at making a hostname was all about...

Is this nitti stuff correct when trying to connect?

Not connected : Access denied for user 'sid'@'nitti.dreamhost.com' (using password: YES

When you create the database using the DreamHost control panel you will see that you are given the choice to create your own Hostname or accept the default of mysql.example.com.

You must use this hostname. You cannot use 'localhost' with DreamHost.

So in your scripts wherever you see 'localhost' use the correct mysql hostname.

I'm curious. If you FTP in, is there anything in your domain folder? If you're lucky, you'll find that empty folder that's showing an index and upload something into there while you wait for the transfer.

Hi, I am looking for advice as to what to use for the server name(I used localhost) parameter when trying to connect to a mysql database. I am using this but getting an error. Any ideas?

$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());

It's still unresolved, so bugging them isn't going to tell them something they don't already know.

What is your site? And how long has it been down?

Are you logged into FTP multiple times at once? My FTP client can do uploads in parallel, but each one takes one FTP connection. If you have your FTP client set to run more than 10 uploads at once before it goes to the queue, you'll get this.

I have mine set for 3, which is enough, considering I'm just using my one connection.

Hi all

I am on the dreaded lovejoy server that has been having issues. I see they are moving us to new hardware. I do have a question...all of my sites work, but they all have the 'index of' with nothing in the folders. When i do a status check it says 'Recent DNS changes may not have fully propogated yet.'

Should I hold off on contacting support...or because my sites are up with the index of...should i contact support and tell them everything is missing?

thanks
