Ice IT Support

Nice work, congratulations! Perhaps labeling the file action icons in the file manager would help contribute to ease of use? Also when attempting to delete a directory, PHP gave me an error (sorry, I didn't save the error so I can't post it) and the directory was never deleted. Again, nice work!

Here's a link I found in one of jje's posts somewhere that might help... http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/stevie.heliohost.org

mikenyc's script with the database came up with multiple errors when I tried using the script. The repaired version is below: <?php // Connect to mySQL database $con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("your_database", $con); // Take username and pass from the form LOG IN FIELD $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; // Check if the form hasn't been submitted if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { // Display the form echo "<form method='post' action='login.php'>"; echo "<p>Please authorize to view site.</p>"; echo "Username: <input type='text' name='username'><br>"; echo "Password: <input type='password' name='password'><br>"; echo "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='login'>"; echo "</form>"; // Check if the form has been submitted }else{ //Compare users from database $query = mysql_query("SELECT User, Password FROM Users WHERE Username = '$username' AND Password = '$password'"); if (mysql_num_rows($query)){ // If yes, start the session session_start(); // Then create the session $_SESSION['username'] = $username; // Redirect to the site homepage header("location:index.php"); // If not }else{ // Die and show the error message die('Login details mismatched'); // End of statement } // End of statement } ?>

And again... except ns2.heliohost.org is almost gone as well

Ok thanks Krydos! Well a similar incident happened at approx. 12:32 on the same day (and I have a screenshot this time!)

I don't think Johnny is the only cause. I just saw a very interesting scenario on the server monitor. At approx. 1:15AM PST Saturday the 23rd (of July), all elements were bright green with the exception of Helionet/Heliohost.org. (I would provide a screenshot, but I am using my iPhone and it does not have this feature). Something else must be causing Cody to be sluggish. Like I said before, the firewall might be disabled like it was with Stevie.

It works! Thank you so much!

*all passwords in this post have been replaced with a "*" I have been using a PHP script Byron gave me a while back (below) to password protect a directory. (original script @ http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/password.txt) <?php session_start(); // maximum number of seconds user can remain idle without having to re-login (use a value of zero for no timout): $max_session_time = 30; // type of alert to give on incorrect password. This can be a file name or email address: $alert = ""; // acceptable passwords (there are no limit to the amount): $cmp_pass = Array(); $cmp_pass[] = md5("*"); $cmp_pass[] = md5("*"); // maximum number of bad logins before user locked out (use a value of zero for no hammering protection): $max_attempts = 3; // end user definable variables // save session expiry time for later comparision $session_expires = $_SESSION['mpass_session_expires']; // have to do this otherwise max_attempts is actually one less than what you specify. $max_attempts++; if(!empty($_POST['mpass_pass'])) { // store md5'ed password $_SESSION['mpass_pass'] = md5($_POST['mpass_pass']); } if(empty($_SESSION['mpass_attempts'])) { $_SESSION['mpass_attempts'] = 0; } // if the session has expired, or the password is incorrect, show login page: if(($max_session_time>0 && !empty($session_expires) && mktime()>$session_expires) || empty($_SESSION['mpass_pass']) || !in_array($_SESSION['mpass_pass'],$cmp_pass)) { if(!empty($alert) && !in_array($_SESSION['mpass_pass'],$cmp_pass)) { // user has submitted incorrect password // generate alert: $_SESSION['mpass_attempts']++; $alert_str = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." entered ".htmlspecialchars($_POST['mpass_pass'])." on page ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." on ".date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A")."\r\n"; if(stristr($alert,"@")!==false) { // email alert @mail($alert,"Bad Login on ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],$alert_str,"From: ".$alert); } else { // textfile alert $handle = @fopen($alert,'a'); if($handle) { fwrite($handle,$alert_str); fclose($handle); } } } // if hammering protection is enabled, lock user out if they've reached the maximum if($max_attempts>1 && $_SESSION['mpass_attempts']>=$max_attempts) { exit("Too many login failures."); } // clear session expiry time $_SESSION['mpass_session_expires'] = ""; ?> <html> <head> <title>Enter Password</title> </head> <body> <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <h4>Password Protected</h4> <input type="password" name="mpass_pass"> <input type="submit" value="login"> </form> </body> </html> <?php // and exit exit(); } // if they've got this far, they've entered the correct password: // reset attempts $_SESSION['mpass_attempts'] = 0; // update session expiry time $_SESSION['mpass_session_expires'] = mktime()+$max_session_time; ?> and on my index page I have a list of links. <ul> <?php if($_SESSION['mpass_pass'] = md5("*")) { echo "<li><a href='/Administrator'>Administrator Control Panel</a>"; } ?> <li><a href="/Roundcube">Webmail access</a> <li><a href="staffsites.php">StaffSites</a> <li><a href="directory.php">Staff email directory</a> <li><a href="customer-selection.php">Payments and invoicing</a> </ul> I want to log in using password "*" and have the "Administrator Control Panel" link appear in the list and when I log in with any other password I don't want the "Administrator Control Panel" link appear. I tried using the code in bold, but the link appears regardless of what password I use. What do I need to do/what code do I need to use to fix this issue?

Is there a way to lessen the effects of Johnny's outages on Cody even if they are on the same physical server?

That's what I originally thought, but because the new server was set up as two virtual servers (Johnny & Cody), shouldn't there be a way to set a CPU usage limit per server? (i.e. if Johnny uses up his share of the CPU, Cody still has some to work with)

@djbob: Perhaps the firewall is disabled like it was on Stevie? Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue...

Looking at the server monitor it looks similar to Stevie's slow period after the power spike. Could there be a link in the two issues?

Lately I have noticed that HelioNet/HelioHost.org have been very unstable and is often unresponsive. Does anyone know what could be causing this, or is it because Cody runs back-to-back with Johnny? Just thought I would point this out. Thanks!

I would like to change it to "Ice IT Support" (without the quotation marks). Thanks

Hi, I would like to change my HelioNet display name so that it isn't the same as my cPanel username. Is there a way I can do this without having to re-create my account? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. It is good to know that the app does not count as a normal login. Thanks again!

Hi, I have an iPod app that I use to access my cPanel and it connects using stevie.heliohost.org:2082. Do you know if the app login gets logged as a normal login/resets the suspension clock? Thanks! P.S. the app name is Control Panel v2.2 by OKD Limited (www.cpapp.com) I do not intend to sell or advertise this app nor am I affiliated with the app in any way

Hi, I was wondering if it was at all possible to get Microsoft Exchange server or is that only available for Windows OS only? I was just curious, It's not a feature I need or anything. Thanks!

I often get a lot of 500 errors when trying to load my PHP pages (approx. 8-10PM PST). Then I have to wait a few minutes before refreshing the page or it gives me the error again. So some limit must be being reached. But the server load has been weird. Before the power failure, Stevie's server load usually stayed around 2-3 or would jump up to 14+. Now it usually hangs around 6.

When I did that, it removed the error message and I was able to log in again, but none of my mailboxes were showing up. So I installed Roundcube myself, set it to force create the missing mailboxes, and it works.

Just thought I would call to your attention that server is spelled incorrectly (highlighted above). Could that have anything to do with it?

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell is the correct directory. The second one I think is cPanel itself.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell or /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel I don't know which is which. I think the first one (/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell) has all the preferences data
