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

]]> Perl and FastCGI, can't get it to work http://discussion.dreamhost.com/showflat.pl?Board=forum_troubleshooting&Number=109073&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&vc=1 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:17:11 -0700 doowttam forum_troubleshooting http://discussion.dreamhost.com/showflat.pl?Board=forum_troubleshooting&Number=109073&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&vc=1 Post Reply?

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)

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)

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 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

I would be hugely appreciative if someone could help me solve a redirection issue I'm having. This is our current htaccess code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule tag/(.+) http://www.domain.com/pub/mt-search.cgi?tag=$1&blog_id=34&Template=stare

The problem with this is that while http://www.domain.com/tag/example will redirect and search our CMS correctly, the redirection changes the URL.

Can someone please tell what we can do to this htaccess code so that the http://www.domain.com/tag/example will be 'sticky' and not display the CMS search URL.

Much thanks!

I need a bunch of clients to be able to upload some PDF or DOC files. I was thinking of a PHP script to upload files but I heard there was a limitation of size. Some of the files being uploaded are near 10 MB large. If PHP wont work, do you guys know of a way to create individual ftp accounts and 1 account to manage all of them.

When you're selecting a username and password from your database, how do you write your PHP script where it selects the correct user_id for that username and password? Or does the database do it for you when you tell it which username and password to retrieve in the WHERE clause (provided you write the query to retrieve the user_id as well, of course).

Hello. I had followed the instructions on the wiki to install my own PHP to get around some of the settings DH has configured. I downloaded the WebFTP package that dreamhost uses and installed it in a subdomain and I am having it use my PHP install instead of the default install (DH's).When I log into the WebFTP for the first time, I get an error 403, Service Unavailable. If i go back and enter my details again and login, it works. I looked in the error logs for this site and I saw the following (ip/hostname removed):

I have about 10 sites to be transferred.
for 2 of these sites have a problem because I do not know if I can transfer them.
I have a renewed 17/7/2008 while the other I registered on 17/6/2008, and then goes out the 60 days.

Hello

I am using Fetch 5.3 as my FTP program on a Mac OS X 10.4 computer to upload files and make changes to my website. I have a high speed internet connection through my telephone company.

When I login I can see a listing of the files and directories of my website. When I then try to upload a file to my website the first file always takes a very long time to upload. (A few minutes.) Once the first file is uploaded then I can upload any additional files and even a full directory full of files fairly quickly. (A few seconds.) Why does it take so long for the first file to upload? Is this normal behaviour?

Hello

On the DreamHost Web Panel I select the following in sequence: Main Menu > Status> Site Statistics > Web Server Statistics - Monthly Report > Failure Report: Listing files, sorted by the number of failed requests.

I have noticed that the following four items are always on the list of "failed requests" every month:

/favicon.ico
/sitemap.xml.gz
/gu.gif
/stats/

I have looked up the first two items on the internet and learned what they are. I have followed tutorials I found on the internet to create a favicon.png file but I realize that visitors to my website using some versions of the Internet Explorer web browser will create "failed requests" searching for a favicon.ico file. Similarly I have followed tutorials I found on the internet to create a very small sitemap.xml file. I once tried compressing the file to a sitemap.xml.gz file but I did not notice any significant change in file size. I got the impression from the tutorials that I should have either a sitemap.xml file OR a sitemap.xml.gz file.

My question is why do I get a few "failed requests" for a "gu.gif" file and a "stats" directory every month?

I have never knowingly created a gu.gif file or a stats directory on my website. I have kept backup copies on my computer of every change I have made to my website since I joined DreamHost in February so I have been able to search through the backup copies to verify this. I have tried doing internet searches for "gu.gif" expecting that it may be some form of standard filename similar to favicon.ico, sitemap.xml.gz or index.html that I should become aware of but I have not found any reference to a gu.gif file.

To the best of my knowledge the only statistics being collected regarding my website are the default statistics collected by the DreamHost Web Panel and whatever statistics the search engine robots (Google, Yahoo ...) may collect. I am not aware of any reason to create a "stats" directory.

Does anyone know why I am getting a few "failed requests" every month for a "gu.gif" file and a "stats" directory?

Okay, we recently ported our announcement list over to Dreamhost and I am working through the automation they have. Right now, our "automated' sign up goes through the forms by Bravenet. Not only does this add work for me, but it puts users through needless hoops.

I get an email saying they want to sign up for the list, then I have to manually enter them into web panel for the announcement list. Then, they get an email asking them to go click on the confirmation button. While trying to sign up, they have to go through all the Bravenet junk.

My understanding is that there is a way to have them sign up directly. They enter their info into a form and Dreamhost automatically sends them a confirmation email. Unfortunately, I do not know how to set this up. My web skills are limited to Dreamweaver and I cannot seem to find any documentation on the procedure to do so.

If anyone can point me to some easy instructions, I would surely appreciate it. You can take a look at what we have at http://www.henrystonemusic.com/emaillist.htm, so you can kind of see what I am going for. Just a form that automatically notifies Dreamhost of a list signup so they can automatically send a confirmation email.

Thanks Much!

I'm having difficulty installing a custom php5.
When I run the custom scripts, all seems to go fine, but... the install attempts to create a new www directory for the php.ini file.
I set the domain in the script to www.mydomain.
I did not however change the paths in the script where it says for example:
" # Where do you want all this stuff built? I'd recommend picking a local
# filesystem.
# ***Don't pick a directory that already exists!*** We clean up after
# ourselves at the end!
SRCDIR=${HOME}/source".

If my directory tree looks like this through shell ftp:
/home/.ewing/dcgspot/www.mydomain, what should I insert before "/source" in the script for it to install to the proper destination, with the php.ini file landing in the correct location?

Hello.
Sorry for this intrusion (well kind of...), but I thought i could use some wisdom and knowledge from DH users...

I have recently installed a plugin for my wordpress hosted at dreamhost (Yen) and this annoying error appears on all of my template pages:


WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY vid DESC LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT * FROM ORDER BY vid DESC LIMIT 1


I have tried to ask for help on the plugin forum, but with no answer yet, since 4 days ago.

I wonder if anyone has any clue or tip on how I can fix this. Is it caused by some php code injected by this plugin on my templates, or is it just a mysql error that I can find and fix in phpmyadmin? I already dropped all the tables, re-installed a new version of the plugin.. but the problem persists.

I wonder if this expression vid at 'ORDER BY vid DESC LIMIT 1' even exists...

Can you help me out? I'm losing my grip with this, however I can use the plugin perfectly on the wordpress admin, but on my website front-end I have this error visible to everyone...

Thanks in advance for any clue leading me to understand and solve this pain...

I am looking to build a simple backup tool to host personal files using Amazon S3

If I use Amazon S3 to host the files, and just use dreamhost to host the upload scripts will i still be in violation of the TOS if the files uploaded are mp3s etc.

I love Blogger's new "My Blog List" feature. It's like an advanced blogroll- under the name of the blog, it shows the title of their most recent post, and how long ago it was posted (2 hours ago, 2 days ago, etc). Then it sorts the blogs by order of most recent update, instead of just regular alphabetical order.

http://buzz.blogger.com/2008/06/show-off-your-favorite-blogs-with-blog.html

Alas, I have Wordpress. I spent *all night* looking for a similar widget / plugin / whatever, but couldn't find anything.

Is there anything that's similar to this that I could use in wordpress? Any ideas at all?

Thanks so much for your help :)

So, one of my sites is deathly slow right now. Pages are taking upwards of 30 seconds to load. I have not made any changes to the site. I'm on shared hosting. My suspicion is that either the server itself is in trouble or another site on the server is dragging it down. Either way, I need to figure out the name of the server so I can contact DH and ask them to investigate.

How do I figure out my site's server name?

I'm one of the cheapo's using the 150/150 VPS, I have to have vps for one little website because I need a process that can last while it downloads some files every night. Well, I use almost 0 of my bandwidth or space, yet I've now seen my memory/cpu or something spike to 150 once. How can I start to figure out what happened during that spike?

We need some tools as VPS admins to see what is happening when the memory or cpu spikes. I assume it'll just show apache as using said amount of memory but can we get a better view of the memory usage so we know exactly when it happened and can look through apache logs(are these available for us?).

Hi to all, from my first post.

My name is Miguel, I'm mexican, and I'm pretty happy to be hosted by DreamHost (really!). I'm unsure if this is the right place to propose a new function, and if it is not, please, move this post to the right place.

I want to propose PostgreSQL. Reasons are many, and the main (at least now for me) is about reliable, secure and extensible CMS Bricolage. It has many (many, many!) advantages over using PHP over CGI, and supports FastCGI (it's perl based, but actually supports php templating). Oh, and it's amazing when you visit MacWorld and works so smooth!

Other reasons to setup PostgreSQL are the reliability, hardness and object-oriented syntax, appart others I'm forgetting now.

Thanks!

Hi,

Any help on this would be most appreciated.

I know this isn't supported, but I carried out the instructions for creating a local php.ini as here:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/PHP.ini

I'm running php 5.2.6. The instructions ran fine, and I've got a local editable php.ini. However, I'm encountering a bug.

In the new php.ini I've changed the post_max_size, and the upload_max_filesize. Post_max_size changes without a problem (once I save in vi, a phpinfo() request responds with the new size, and the online application also registers the change). However, upload_max_filesize seems to be locked at 2M, it will not change. (php.ini has the new size listed after the save, but the server doesn't register the change).

.htaccess for that folder doesn't have anything that would cause it. (So nothing there that I can see over-riding the php.ini information). I've tried lowering the limit > 2M in php.ini, as well as raising it, to see if it was set as an upper limit. But it stays at 2M in both cases. I can't figure out if any other setting would have this locked at 2M. :/

Has anyone else come across this issue, (upload_max_filesize is locked (at 2M))?

I'm willing to accept that the answer is just under my nose, and my own muppetry is stopping me from seeing it. But where! :)

Let me first start by saying that we have been a pretty happy DreamHost customer for almost 4 years now. Sure there have growing pains and some issues, but support has, until now, always been very helpful.

I know this is not generally the place to get help from support, but I thought it might be a little extra kick and some of you might like to hear about the absurdness that is happening.

Here is the issue...

We are television company that produces several shows for cable, namely SPEED. We had a new show airing July 13th, so we sent out a press release to a several of our clients and contacts within the industry on July 11th. On July 12th one of these contacts sent an email to their list of "Opt-in" subscribers telling them of our show and giving a link our website.

Apparently, this email, from a 3rd party to their list of subscribers, was flagged/reported a spam. And because this email was promoting our show and website, we got attached to it in the eyes of DreamHost.

At this point, there were apparently a few emails sent from support asking about it. I say apparently because, I never saw these. I'm not saying they weren't sent, I'm just saying I never saw them. Maybe they got filter into spam, mis-routed, bounced, etc.

According to DreamHost, because there was no response from us to the inquiry I never saw, they suspended our account on July 20th.

"...had we not disabled your account, it's likely we never
would have received a response from you on the matter."

So after figuring out our account was suspended and finally why, I explained that the "email in question" was from a 3rd party promoting our show, etc. To which I was prompted with more questions on our relationship with this 3rd party and why they are promoting our website.

"Their email was sent in promotion of your website and for seemingly no other purpose. Can you be a bit more explicit as to why they are promoting your website?"

Is this not the age we live in... using the web to promote the web?

It has now been 1 1/2 days that our account has been suspended and 18 hours since I've been able to get any sort of a response from support.

Maybe it's just me, but this whole situation is just absurd. Account suspended because of an email a 3rd party sent promoting our website and basically no help from support whatsoever.

First post here, so please be gentle :-)

On my DreamHost account I originally set up an index.shtml page at the root to serve as my home page. But I recently set up WordPress in a subdirectory called /blog/ and I would like that directory and the WordPress install to serve as my home page.

I'm not sure if there is a setting in the DreamHost control panel that will allow me to make the /blog/ directory the home directory, or if I should use some type of .htaccess file to do that.

Alternatively, should I move all my WordPress files from the /blog/ directory up to the root? That seems risky to me.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi -

I host a rails app on dreamhost. When you log in or log out, a dialog box pops up telling me I'm downloading an octet-stream and prompts me to save it. It also happens on a variety of other pages. This happens with Firefox 2.0.0.16 (and may appear on other versions, I don't know). I've confirmed it on 2 machines.

I am sure the app works, I have no such problem when I run it on my local machine (from the development rails environment) and like I said, it works just fine on ie.

For fun, I decided to save the octet stream and rename it with an html extension, and this is what it is:

� we���HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:31:41 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/4.4.7 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 Phusion_Passenger/1.9.1 DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2 Set-Cookie: _thrive_session=56e78897ebc21d7611c83e52bf1f972c; path=/ X-Runtime: 0.00881 Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Length: 116 Location: http://www.thriveorfail.com/stories/leader_stories Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip Keep-Alive: timeout=2, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 ������,10 ЫD=@#{0UnK,5r G /Va$@gbIͱݧ1r47ўW sIRSqTu$%3]ӵ����Wmt���


So, anyone have any ideas what this is? For what it's worth, I do successfully log in, so I can then click my way over to other pages, so I don't know what's going on. Anyone ever seen this before? Is it a rails configuration error on my part that only manifests itself on firefox?

Thanks for any help,

I host a rails app on dreamhost. When you log in or log out, a dialog box pops up telling me I'm downloading an octet-stream and prompts me to save it. It also happens on a variety of other pages. This happens with Firefox 2.0.0.16 (and may appear on other versions, I don't know). I've confirmed it on 2 machines.

I am sure the app works, I have no such problem when I run it on my local machine (from the development rails environment) and like I said, it works just fine on ie.

For fun, I decided to save the octet stream and rename it with an html extension, and this is what it is:

� we���HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:31:41 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/4.4.7 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 Phusion_Passenger/1.9.1 DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2 Set-Cookie: _thrive_session=56e78897ebc21d7611c83e52bf1f972c; path=/ X-Runtime: 0.00881 Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Length: 116 Location: http://www.thriveorfail.com/stories/leader_stories Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip Keep-Alive: timeout=2, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 ������,10 ЫD=@#{0UnK,5r G /Va$@gbIͱݧ1r47ўW sIRSqTu$%3]ӵ����Wmt���


So, anyone have any ideas what this is? For what it's worth, I do successfully log in, so I can then click my way over to other pages, so I don't know what's going on. Anyone ever seen this before? Is it a rails configuration error on my part that only manifests itself on firefox?

Thanks for any help,
Kevin
