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/Enabling_Shell_Access
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Ssh

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

While you're logged in, check permissions to see if they match what was required in the wiki:

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.

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!

Notepad is fine. Check phpinfo() to see if it's actually loading your custom php.ini

Have you edited the appropriate settings in your custom php.ini (in the cgi-bin directory) in order to change the upload limit from the 7M default to something higher? If so, which settings did you change?

thank you guys for sharing! i for sure am going to look into switching over to Gmail then as an option. i want to do it for my own company first, and then when i get things up and running perhaps this will be the best option for some of my small biz clients and I would have tested it thoroughly. i especially like that the contacts sync went well for misterhaan.

also, misterhaan, if you don't mind me asking, what platform is your track7.org site built on? is it based on a template for a social networking site (i.e. elgg or wordpress?)?

thanks guys!

i switched to google apps for mail (and calendar) some time ago. i use thunderbird on both linux and windows on both my desktop and my laptop, and connecting them via imap to gmail servers works a lot better than having each of them download mail through pop and use the same mailbox files on a shared folder. then when i got an iphone i was able to easily work that in as well.

maybe i could have done imap without going to google, but i am also able to sync my google contacts between all my thunderbird installations and my phone, which is another bonus.

all in all it's been a good move for me! i even imported all my existing mail from my computer into google without significant issue. don't remember how i did that exactly, but if i was going to do it again i would do it all through thunderbird by just dragging the messages from my local mail folders to the gmail imap folders.

Hi,

I just set up a new site, believe I set the 3 nameservers properly on GoDaddy, and I tried the WordPress installation. I got this error on Firfeox and no info on IE7:

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I don't think I installed it on my other account (Hostgator) so I can't think of a conflict.

Does anyone know what I must have done wrong? Thanks

I have tried to view the file in webftp. The text appear to be the same like in notepad. I also changed the permission setting using my SFTP program, that is FireFTP.

But, it still shows the upload_max_filesize is 7M. What else do I need to do to make it works? Thanks.

I'm going to agree here. Try editing .htaccess, and setting the permalinks inside wordpress. It's your best bet.

Notepad typically screws up text files when used in a Linux environment. Hopefully your SFTP program has a built in text editor. Try that one and see how the files look. Or try the WebFTP interface from the panel here.

WebFTP and/or your SFTP program can set the permissions as directed.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have tried to do everything at my side and upload through SFTP. The only part that I don't understand and skipped is "Set permissions" from http://wiki.dreamhost.com/PHP.ini

Here are my steps:
1. created a "cgi-bin" folder
2. copy dreamhost original php.ini file and modify the upload_max_filesize value to 100M
3. created php-wrapper.fcgi file using notepad (encoding ANSI) with the content:

#!/bin/sh
export PHPRC=/home/MY USERNAME/fotobucks.com/cgi-bin
exec /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi $*

4. created .htaccess file using notepad (encoding ANSI) with the content:

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php-wrapper.fcgi

However, after I check, it still shows upload_max_filesize is 7M. What I have done wrong? What should I do to make it works? Thanks.

I would take a look at how you're redirecting zettt.de to point at zettt.de/wordpress/

.htaccess / config.php / Panel redirect-to-folder ?

It might be a case that the rewriting/redirection in that attribute is playing a role in the problems you're witnessing site-wide when requesting a "complete" link as is shown in the screenshot.

Almost all plugins I'm using are the same on all 4 sites.
There are a few differences though. Like qTranslate, WP-Rating are unique to one or two sites.
All others share the same plugin set.

I haven't changed anything recently.
Except that I moved my WP installs to Dreamhost. ;)

Beforehand they were hosted on different other domain services. (Macbay, Podzilla for instance)

Hi, I have been thinking of migrating my email hosting from DreamHost to Gmail setup. The reasons I have for doing this are 1) Gmail in my experience is much faster at receiving emails than my dreamhost account; and 2) I've grown tired of the unreliable dreamhost email servers. It's true they work great most of the time but it's too often I have issues sending/receiving (such as the issue this morning).

I am a tech consultant so I'm OK with the process (although I know it's a lot of work to migrate an account). I'm just wondering what other users think about using the Gmail option and/or Google Apps in general with DreamHost. Is it worth the trouble to migrate? Thanks!

The picture looks like it is the custom 404 page for wordpress, this means wordpress is there but that wordpress is not finding any pages corresponding to the link.

Have you made any changes recently to things like permalink settings or moved things around?

Just read back a bit and realised its happening on 4 sites, is there anything common to all 4 such as plugins or special changes you have made?

Hi! I have 3 domains that I would like to mirror domain #1. The first one I setup works fine, but the 2nd one I asked to mirror domain #1 doesn't work - it gives me error id: "bad_httpd_conf" - I have it set up thru dreamhost the way the other one is and I can't find the problem. I just bought domain #4 and also want it to mirror #1, but I'm afraid I might have the same issue. Can someone help?

I have a PS on which I run multiple installations of WordPress. The memory usage (as determined by the line graphs on my admin panel's "Manage Resources" pane) is usually below 300 MB, but occasionally it spikes to 1500, bringing all my sites to a screeching halt. Even during such an occasion, my uptime is this:

06:34:21 up 17:34, 1 user, load average: 0.47, 0.87, 0.71

That doesn't seem accurate to me. Regardless, is there a way to determine what script is process is eating so much memory? If it's a single WP plugin gone awry, I'd like to know to disable it and prevent future such spikes.
