clueless

speaking of security vulnerabilities, what was the reason again for having a seperate forum handle that's different from the username you log in with?

I already can connect FTP with the admin account. but I want to add an FTP user that has limited directory access. there is documentation for Plesk on how to do this but the features are not found in this implementation of Plesk.

I tried adding another user with access to "applications" and granted permission to upload files, but that doesn't seem to allow that user to connect with FTP let alone limit directory access to anything.

how do you do it?

never mind, there was 1 character missing in the middle of the pwd

right now if I go to heliohost.org/dashboard like I have been using, it rolls over to heliohost.org/login. don't remember which URL I used last time but 12 days ago I logged in to control panel no problem like I do every month. now it won't let me log in. error message= "Unable to login with that username and password."

tried the Reset Password option, it says "Resetting your Plesk password on your own isn't implemented yet. In the meantime an admin can send you a reset link via email. Just open a support ticket and let us know your username."

logged into control panel successfully 12 days ago but now it no workie

?? why u no workie

On a VPS you get the entire server to yourself. By default it's just a bare operating system with SSH command line access, but you can install any web based control panel you want except for cPanel.

If you install cPanel and pay those bastards a single cent I will delete your VPS myself.

One popular configuration is Ubuntu 20 operating system and Hestia free control panel. You can of course do everything from the command line too without a web based control panel. In that case you would just install a web server, such as Apache or Nginx, and then you would need to install Postgresql and import your databases in, and you would need to install a php version as well. Control panels can make all that easier to manage by installing it all for you.

Feel free to do some research on control panels before you submit your vps request. Some control panels only work on certain operating systems so you would need to select the custom option, and choose your os. Ubuntu 20 with Hestia does support Apache, Postgresql, and PHP which you use now.

then how do you get email working on your VPS?

I liked cPanel better. (aside from them jacking heliohost)

anyways Plesk has a demo page if you want to check it out.

https://docs.plesk.com/try-plesk-now/

it was unlocked last night, after viewing it hasn't been used since, but as of right now it is locked again.

that did it! thanks

no. nothing but an index.html and that's it.

was playing around with .php scripts in that folder earlier, but they have been deleted.

I created another directory for troubleshooting. that has no index.html or index.php just some random files. browsing to that directory lists the contents. it doesn't do this with the /test/ directory.

(btw /test/ is an example, not an actual directory)

I have an .index.html in a directory, such as /public_html/test/, but when you browse to http://example.heliohost.org/test/ it automatically gives you http://example.heliohost.org/test/index.php/ and pops a 404 error.

note, it's going to a directory named /index.php/

you have to specifically type http://example.heliohost.org/test/index.html to get that page.

the root directory has index.html which does work.

I haven't messed with any .htacccess

the /test/ directory has no .htaccess

how do I fix this?

I'm trying to run a php script that uses cURL. I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in ....

I tried a simple test script and it said cURL is not installed.

there is a reason I want to upload .bmp files.

goto C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures, and what format are they?

.bmp

so if Coppermine uses a method to implement ImageMagick which is disabled on the server, it can use GD 2.x instead.

but that throws an error.

"the image you have uploaded is corrupted or can't be handled by the GD library"

is there a way to get GD 2.x to work with .bmp files?

tried another installation of Coppermine from the webhost built-in installer, that has the same parameters and the same problems. (GD 2.x does not upload .bmp, and ImageMagick does not work at all)

that path was /usr/bin/

does anybody have an installation of Coppermine that does have ImageMagick enabled and working? if so what is the path
