Over the past week or so both Johnny and Tommy have been experiencing occasional slow loading and 503 errors on PHP pages from time to time. This is definitely not normal because we've been using Plesk since 2021 and none of us can even remember the last time we saw a 503 error, and then suddenly they are happening quite frequently on these two servers. We are investigating the issue, and are hoping to resolve it soon. In the meantime, here are some ideas you can do to improve the uptime of your PHP based website. 1. Morty hasn't been affected at all by the 503 errors on PHP pages at all so far, so this is a great time to upgrade to our fastest flagship server starting at only $1 per month. You can check out the discounted Morty packages at https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/ and move yourself over without talking to an admin by using our fully automated upgrade process with zero downtime for your website if you're interested in trying it out. 2. VPS also have not been affected by the 503 errors either. They start at $4 per month, and aren't affected by other users on the same server as you, because on a VPS you're the only user. Being able to have root SSH access is also a great perk of being a VPS customer. You can check out the plans at https://heliohost.org/vps/ 3. If you don't want to upgrade it is possible for some PHP websites to be converted to static websites. Since it is only PHP being affected by these 503 errors converting your site to use only static html, Javascript, and CSS will allow your website to load faster, have less errors, cause less server load, and greatly reduce the chance of your site getting hacked. It's not possible for all websites to be converted though so this isn't an option for everyone. 4. You could also switch to a language other than PHP. For instance, Python websites using CGI, Django, or Flask haven't been affected by the 503 errors at all. Node.js hasn't been affected by the 503 errors either, but if you decide to try Node.js we recommend keeping a close eye on your load graph at https://heliohost.org/dashboard/load/ because it's easy to go over your 200 GB memory limit. In order to diagnose these 503 errors, the first step we're going to take is implementing additional logging and performance monitoring so we can see exactly when and why the errors are occurring. Let us know if you have any questions, or have any additional information to assist in our investigation.

DKIM, SPF, and DMARC have been set up for the domain theopengamer.com. We recommend sending a real email (not just the word "test") to https://www.mail-tester.com/ to make sure that everything is set up correctly. If you get less than a 10/10 score please post a link to the full report so we can help you fix any other issues that there may be.

yeah, i thinks that this threads is marked solved so i make a new one

This support request is being escalated to our root admins who can set that up for you.

Thank you so much!

The requested modules have been installed on Tommy's Python 3.12. You can see the current list of installed modules at https://krydos1.heliohost.org/pyinfo/info3.12.py WSGI control access has been enabled on the domain shahzaib.heliohost.us. To restart your Flask app and load new code changes in simply edit /home/shahzaib.heliohost.us/httpdocs/flasktest/flask.wsgi. Adding a blank line, removing a blank line, adding a space, or removing a space are examples of editing the file. As long as the last modified timestamp changes it will clear the server cache. Let us know if you run into any issues.

Krydos can do all of this for you.

Installed. You can see the current list of Python 3.12 modules on Tommy with this link https://krydos1.heliohost.org/pyinfo/info3.12.py

All HelioHost staff are volunteers who help out in their spare time. In order to be mindful of their time, please make sure you check the list of modules already installed on your server before asking for modules, to make sure you are not asking for things that are already installed. For example, you have asked for numpy and pandas, both of which are already available on both Python 3.9 and Python 3.12 on the Tommy server that you're on. If you need a different version of these than the ones already installed, please provide this information as part of your request. Please take a moment to review the list of modules already installed against your request list. You can use Control + F to search for the module names on the page. Once you've doublechecked you are not asking for other modules that already exist on the server for the version of Python you're using, please let us know, and be sure to also confirm which version of Python you need them for. Thanks very much! ?
