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 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)

Any ideas or troubleshooting tips?

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:

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.

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'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 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

Why me this error when I log in via ftp?
Is it limits the size of files for upload?

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):

Any ideas what might be causing this? Is it a problem with my install of PHP or a problem with the WebFTP package?

Hi,
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.

I can record them equally or are there problems?

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?

Hello, newbie here. I need some help setting up multiple sites.

Currently our website qualitytint.com is cloaked(?) under teamgraphicsunlimited.com. Which worked fine since we weren't using the latter. We now want to upload a site for teamgraphicsunlimited.com. What is the easiest way to have both sites display properly?

Thanks for your suggestions.

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...

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...

Just a quick question.

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.

Thanks

Hello, I created an email account to use as a new location for my college email. I then used Thunderbird to move all the mail from the old account to the one I created. Is there any way to have the Inbox cleanup run on the email I moved over? I'm guessing that the archiver didnt work because the email wasn't received in the normal way.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Folks, would someone cast their eyes over this DNS config, I can't see where I'm going wrong. The advice I have received is to enter an 'A' entry for both www.mineralconsulting.com and mineralconsulting.com, but it ain't working.

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,

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.

Is there a way to use mysite.com/stats for my own purposes? I appreciate DH's effort to make stats easily available, but this is conflicting with my own plans to use /stats in my urls.

Could I perhaps somehow move it to /dhstats or something so I can free up /stats for my website?

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:

� w��e���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 �������,�1�0ЫD=@�#�{0Un�K,�5r �G������/V��a�$��@�gbIͱݧ��1r4��7ўW��s�IR��SqTu���$%3]
ӵ�������W�mt���


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

First off apologies, I'm sure this has been posted before but after 2 hours searching I haven't found what I'm looking for.

I want to set up a folder to use for sharing files with clients through ftp. I only want them to be able to touch that folder and not see my whole site. It will function as a place for them to post files too big for e-mail.

The worst is I did this about 2 years ago and it was simple, now I'm banging my head against a wall.

I've moved a WordPress blog from oldsite.com/blog/ to newsite.com/ (the root directory). The blog itself transferred without a hitch, but I'm trying to write an .htaccess file to put at oldsite.com/blog that keeps all old links to the blog's posts working. The idea is that http://oldsite.com/blog/anything redirects to http://newsite.com/anything. The current version, saved at http://oldsite.com/blog/.htaccess, reads this way in its entirety:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

And that works for everything except one address: http://oldsite.com/blog <-- without the trailing slash. That URL will redirect to this: http://newsite.com//home/username/oldsite.com/blog.

As far as I can tell, when the URI lacks a trailing slash, the RewriteBase doesn't work right, and it somehow interprets $1 as the full filesystem path of the directory, even though I'm not telling mod_rewrite to do that anywhere. I think I understand the problem, but no matter what I try--and I've tried literally dozens of things, for hours--I can't get it to work. Can someone please help me?

And that works for everything except one address: http://oldsite.com/blog <-- without the trailing slash. That URL will redirect to this: http://newsite.com//home/username/oldsite.com/blog.

As far as I can tell, when the URI lacks a trailing slash, the RewriteBase doesn't work right, and it somehow interprets $1 as the full filesystem path of the directory, even though I'm not telling mod_rewrite to do that anywhere. I think I understand the problem, but no matter what I try--and I've tried literally dozens of things, for hours--I can't get it to work. Can someone please help me?

One of the areas of improvement on Dreamhost I'm most interested in at the moment is the Jabber service - I was thinking it'd be keen if those of us interested in using Jabber touched base regarding what features would yield the most improvement, assuming we can convince the DH guys to implement them. :D

For the uninitiated, Jabber is an instant messaging protocol, like AIM - it allows you to find out when people you know are online (if they've OK'ed it), engage in multi-user chats, etc. The Jabber protocol, XMPP, is used in Google Talk, and most Jabber servers also allow you to access instant messenger accounts on other networks (AIM, etc.) through your Jabber account.

Presently, Jabber support on Dreamhost is a bit limited: account creation on your Jabber server can only be done through the panel (which makes it impractical to grant Jabber accounts to users of your website), and we don't have the ability to restrict various kinds of operations - for instance, anyone with any Jabber account could create a multi-user chat room on your Jabber server, and then lock you out of it, by setting a password on the room or making it invite-only...

Ultimately, one of the things I'm most interested in using the Jabber server for is to host multi-user chats on my website, without requiring users to have a Jabber account elsewhere to do it. In other words I'd like to be able to use the Jabber service in a role where someone might otherwise use something like addonChat or ParaChat. For that to work, at a minimum we would need either the ability to grant Jabber accounts through our own website interface, or be able to create a single Jabber account whose usage is restricted enough that people can't use it for things other than joining the chat room...

Another feature that'd be tremendously useful IMO is support for BOSH, also known as HTTP-bind - the ability to use the Jabber protocol over HTTP in a manner with greater efficiency and less latency than polling. This feature would allow the use of Javascript-only Jabber clients like jwchat.

One problem with all this, and with the Jabber-related suggestions on the list, is that a lot of the suggestions on that list might address part of the problem, or might be good suggestions but without adequate information about the benefits and difficulties related to the suggestion. Some of the suggestions solve the same problems in different ways. I'm not entirely sure, myself, which of these is the best way to go. For instance, most of the compelling possible enhancements depend upon upgrading the Jabber server from jabberd 1.x to one of the newer alternatives. The decision of which upgrade path to take (ejabberd, jabberd2.x, etc.) may depend on the desired feature set - and unfortunately the requests for a jabber server upgrade don't go into details about what one would want out of such an upgrade... This is where I'm not sure the regular suggestions queue can be effective in producing a good decision - if Jabber support is to be improved then the next decision that has to be made is which server software to use - and when/if Dreamhost finally does upgrade the Jabber server software, it's unlikely they'd then be willing to do it again if somehow the wrong choice was made...

Anyway, if you're interested in Jabber, I want to hear your input on the situation.

I have gwcmayhem.com , I had wildcard DNS turned on so I could dynamically use subdomains and such. Now I thought I had correctly excluded things like www. webmail. etc etc. but when I attempt to goto webmail.gwcmayhem.com I just get the front page.

This is the mod_rewrite I'm using in an .htaccess file, it works somewhat for the intended purpose (goes to front, otherwise goes to view.php)

In reply to:

---

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.gwcmayhem\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^(www|ftp|mail|webmail|stats)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /home/kblessing/gwcmayhem.com/view.php?member=%1 [L]

---

But as I mentioned instead of going to the usual webmail/squirrelmail login page it just goes to the front page when I do webmail.gwcmayhem.com

(on a separate note, anyone know how I can pass anything beyound the domain as $2 or such, for example if test.gwcmayhem.com/somestuff/here/yay/ will past 'test' as %1, how do I get it to pass either everything past the .com/ or each separate virtual folder as $2, $3, and so forth.)

I got an email notification about my Inbox filling up, but the email could use some improved explanation. It doesn't tell me whether it rotated out the oldest or newest messages (I'm hoping the oldest, but I hit Remove from my mail client before I checked the old-messages folder on SquirrelMail)

And the two wiki links at the end don't point to anything.

Here's the message:

Please see http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Inbox_Archiver
for how to read mail in folders other than your inbox.

This includes:
- 0 messages that were more than 45 days old
- 15 messages that pushed your inbox size over the 250
message maximum size

You can configure how messages are rotated out of your inbox from your
mailboxes management area, at http://mailboxes.YOURDOMAIN.COM/ (replace
YOURDOMAIN.COM with your actual email address domain!)

If you utilize POP, and you're receiving this message, you are likely
leaving your messages on the server. To help reduce the performance
impact this has on your server (and to stop receiving these pesky
notifications!) please read through the following articles on configuring
your email client:

I just created a new shell account, so I can run a procmail-based agent on it. How can I associate this shell account with an email address sent to my domain, so that when mail is sent to that email address, it can be processed by my .procmailrc?

Hello

I'm trying to get the server to accept bigger file uploads than the normal php.ini specifies. Apparently there are only 2 methods to do this. One way is to get your own dedicated server and the other is to setup a custom php.ini file.

Because of the obvious cost implications I am trying the custom php.ini method.
I have followed all the instructions at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Advanced_PHP_configuration but I am not getting this to work.

If you go to http://www.overload.co.za/info.php you will see the server
error that I am receiving.

In the server log I am getting this:
[Mon Jul 21 00:36:03 2008] [error] [client 198.54.202.26] suexec policy
violation: see suexec log for more details
[Mon Jul 21 00:36:03 2008] [error] [client 198.54.202.26] Premature end
of script headers: php5.cgi
[Mon Jul 21 00:36:03 2008] [error] [client 198.54.202.26] File does not
exist: /mnt/local/home/ampedjoe/overload.co.za/internal_error.html

It looks like there are some permission / ownership problems.

Has anyone fixed this before?

Thanks

I registered a subdomain, used the one-click install of WP 2.6 after setting up a new database (and apparently, hostname). Today, I started playing with the css, got my first post added, feeds set up, etc and announced it. Then not 3 minutes later, it was unviewable (and I can't access WP admin) because there is an error establishing database connection.

I don't understand what happened in the 10 minute span, since I wasn't even changing anything. Anyone?

:( Another newbie thing!

I registered my domain today and have successfully done the One Click Install of Joomla, I have even got as far as to figure out a few things! But this has now happened for the 2nd time today.

I am busy working in the back end, it bombs, I try go back and it gives me a Page Load Error.

I am able to log onto other sites but not my own or my own back end?

Hi everyone.

I am a complete newbie so struggling here.

I have my site registered and hosted with another host. I want to transfer these to Dreamhost.

I have gone and done something in the CPanel but it is telling me to change my name servers.

Forgive me for being stupid, but where would I do that?

Thanks,

Kerry

Hi
Noob question for you all...

I have a domain hosted on a dedicated server with a local ISP. Call it www.mysuperdomain.com

I also have a sub-domain of that same domain but it is hosted at dreamhost, call it www.big.mysuperdomain.com

I have an instance of wordpress running on www.big.mysuperdomain.com at Dreamhost.

I would now like anyone who has bookmarked or who googles up www.mysuperdomain.com to be directed to the wordpress instance on www.big.mysuperdomain.com because this is my shiny new identity.

I want the URL in the visitor's browser to be unchanged (ie, it should show as www.mysuperdomain.com).

I've looked at the mirroring option, but while it redirects without difficulty, the user's browser no longer shows www.mysuperdomain.com, but www.big.mysuperdomain.com.

What do I need to do?

Many thanks in advance
Don

I am trying to install Prestashop on a Dreamhost server. I have followed the instructions here:
http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/External_or_Friendly_URLs
to allow friendly urls which seems to have worked properly.

The problem I have is I get an error during the �System and permissions� stage of installation. �Write permissions on folders and subfolders/recursively: /themes/prestashop/lang� comes up as red and wont allow me to continue.

I have tried chmod 777 on that folder and all the files in it which didnt work so I deleted the folder, recreated it, chmodded it then added the files back in which also didnt work.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have a domain that is registered with Dreamhost. It is not linked to my Dreamhost hosting account. Currently it is just 'parked' (I think that is the term). I have a wordpress.com blog that I would like to have that domain mapped to. Can I do this? I can't seem to see where I am to enter the name server information (NS1.WORDPRESS.COM) to forward that domain name to the blog. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Dara

I have the domain www.styledumonde.com registered at www.mydomain.com.

How do I DNS-forward www.styledumonde.com to www.lovedistortion.com/styledumonde ?

I just got an iphone and having some trouble setting it up to work with my dreamhost mail accounts. I've tried both IMAP and POP types, attempted mutiple emails accounts under my domain, tried different ports, ssl on/off, etc. etc. It will not work on either Wi-Fi (att u-verse) , 3g or edge. I keep getting an error that connection to the server has failed.

One thing weird is that if I change the incoming port from 110 to 993 it seems to revert back to 110 after a failed connection attempt. Any advice or help appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully a quick question...

I have the domain scottjelias.net. What I would like is for the "root" to be pointing to my Tumblr (also available at selias.tumblr.com). I would like the subdomain blog.scottjelias.net to point to my DreamHost install of WordPress.

Trouble is, I had this all working great on GoDaddy but given the fact that I am running as "fully hosted" with DH I can't change the A record for scottjelias.net. I can ADD a new A record (which I've done), but I can't change the existing one that points to my DH server space...

For some odd reason, this was working for the last couple days (maybe by accident?) and has now disappeared completely! Going to scottjelias.net points to an empty folder (or at least it did at the time of this posting).

Hi there,
I am new to dreamhost and to perl CGI too, but I want to give it a try.

Unfortunately I am getting only an "Internal Server Error". The error.log speaks about "Premature end of script headers".
Can anyone help me with this?

What I did in detail:
I created a folder cgi-bin in my domain-dir, placed a small test script in it
8<---- test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "<p>Hello</p>\n";
8<----
# chmod 755 -R cgi-bin

# whereis perl
tells me /usr/bin/perl
# ./test.pl
works fine

In this forum and the wiki I found many people having problems with access rights, so I did a chmod 777 on the files, but this didn't do the trick.

Greetings

Is it possible to give users panel access for a particular site, and hide all the other sites? I didn't know if this was possible or not. I want a user to be able to send announcement lists, etc. for his domain--I just don't want to share my entire control panel with him. Thanks!

I am new to Dreamhost and have little experience with unix, but I can certainly get around using the very basics.

I need to have the Zip extension installed and enabled for my sites, but am not sure how to go about getting it installed. I have gone through the installing PHP instructions at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Installing_PHP5, but am not sure if it contains the zip extension I'm looking for. I don't think it does (it's running now, so I can't really tell) so I'm afraid I'll have to compile my own version. No clue how to do this though.

Recommendations?

I'm not sure, so I thought I'd ask:

Openmeeting requires the installation of Red5.
Is this a persistent process? I'm trying to gather whether it's against the rules on Dreamhost.

Thanks in advance.

Sites on 67.205.3.119 are going down intermittently. They just went down about 20 minues ago, so you can see the issue now.

Here are two examples:

cambridgereporter.ca
www.riverofglorychurchak.org

Host headers that point to 67.205.3.119 are coming an going a few times a day.

If I go into my control panel and update one of my domains that are on that IP it will fix all the domains on that IP address!!

It seems like that action is writing a correct apache config file.

You can see the problem by browsing to the IP address:

http://67.205.3.119

When browsing to a dreamhost IP you always get this message:
http://67.205.3.118/


Please fix as it has been going on for about a week!
