PHP went down again today. Check your sites for huge core files that need to be deleted.

Cheers,

Byron

The adminstrator should be able to do that for you. The administrstor at the last place I was hosted at gave us that option on a seperate cpanel that allowed us to buy addon domains, parked domains, extra space and bandwidth with posting points. But we get all of those free here.

An .htaccess file is nothing more than a plain text file with the name .htaccess (don't forget the dot) that goes inside any directory and all sub directories follow the same rules. So if you create a .htaccess file in your root directory than ALL of your folders will follow the same rules, but like papukai posted you can create your sub-domains through the cPanel. Just go to the cPanel and follow the instructions.

Mine is working and works in the proper order.

index.php

http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/test/index.php

index.html

http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/test/

Check your .htaccess file for errors.

This is the url to get to cpanel:

http://your_domain.heliohost.org:2082/

change 'your_domain' to your domain name.

name servers for heliohost are:

ns1.heliohost.org

ns2.heliohost.org

Heliohost is running Apache version 2.2.11 and you can use .htaccess, but I don't know if

Wildcard DNS is enabled.

I believe ALL web stats have been disabled until the server becomes a little more stable.

Byron

Same thing happened today (01/11/09) with php and core files, so check your sites again.

Two questions- 1) How do i change the DNS settings for my heliohost account to use the domain i already have

Name servers for heliohost are:

ns1.heliohost.org

ns2.heliohost.org

You can create a Parked Domain at cPanel with your domain name.

I can't help you with question no. 2.

tablecat.co.cc is the domain I registered here with.

You don't have the dns set up yet. You need to point tablecat.co.cc to heliohost's name servers:

ns1.heliohost.org

ns2.heliohost.org

i want to change my main domain because i got a new one is there any way that i can do that?

You need to use a Parked Domain at your cpanel. Have you ever used a parked domain before?

I don't believe he can do what he's wanting to do at cpanel. He registered with

bloogy.co.cc

and he's wanting something like

bloogy.heliohost.org

You would probably have to re-register a new account to get a heliohost sub-domain and then delete bloogy.co.cc. Then you could set up bloogy.co.cc as a parked domain. But you would need permission from the administrator to re-register.

It might help to post your domain url.

It must have something to do with how the Parked and Addon Domain name servers are set up. Hopefully djbob will see this thread and check into it.

Can you go to your account through your heliohost name? I'm having similar problems with my addon domain, although I can go to my site. I get this error at the validator:

Error retrieving http://alpha1omega.uni.cc: Can't connect to alpha1omega.uni.cc:80 (Bad hostname 'alpha1omega.uni.cc')

http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/

I don't have any problems on my heliohost name.

Are you familiar with .htaccess? It's just a text file with the complete name .htaccess with no extension and don't forget the (.) dot.

If you want to execute cgi in all folders than add this little piece of code in the .htaccess file of your root directory:

Options +ExecCGI

Or you could just make a seperate .htaccess file for the folder that you want to execute cgi in and add that same piece of code and your all set to go.

I don't believe that there is a reset option on our cpanel. If there is I haven't see it.

Hopefully one of the administrators will look into your problem.

HI Byron,

Tryed as suggested, but got following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted 
(tried to allocate 48 bytes) in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico//includes/enc_check.inc.php 
on line 378

I think that error is telling you that you don't have enough space on your site to add word press. It should tell you on the instructions before you add if you have enough allocated space. How much space does it say you have?

Try installing it through your MAIN domain and if that works than just move the folder to your addon domain folder.

It's all the same domain. www.lizardie.com is just a sub-domain of lizardie.com. If you want to redirct all requests to www than add this to your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^lizardie\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.lizardie.com/$1 [R=301,L]

edit:

To answer your original question: no you can't have seperate folders for public_html and www. What you create in your public_html will also be in your www and vice versa.

No you can't delete access-logs. I wouldn't delete any folders or files that were on your site when you first opened it up. That includes all of the files and folders that were in your user directory.

It's not 2009 for another three and a half hours here.

It's not 2009 where I'm at either (east coast) but I probably won't be online when the ball drops so I posted early.

Cheers

These recent problems that we had today with php files caused a bunch of huge core files to be dumped inside any directory when anybody tried to access a php file on my site. I ended up deleting over 40 core files before I started redirecting all php files to another page. So check your site for any core files that need to be deleted.

Cheers,

Byron

EDIT: 01/11/09

PHP went down again and dumped more core files today so you people who use php, check your folders for core files.

Happy 2009 from United States !

Go back to your cpanel and try to create you addon domain again. This is how the forms should be filled in. Let's say your domain name is this:

alphaomega.uni.cc

this is how the forms should look at cpanel

New Domain Name: alphaomega.uni.cc

Subdomain/Ftp Username: alphaomega

Document Root: public_html/alphaomega

---------------------------

where you might be getting the error is when cpanel automatically adds the Document Foot form it keeps the complete domain name, you need to delete the uni.cc and only leave the alphaomega. Did you do that?
