Yea but then you couldn't see how to do it with php!

As far as I know the ip address for heliohost is 65.19.143.3 and I can't say for sure if the other (65.19.143.4) is correct or not. Do you get any kind of error message when you try to change name servers? And you might try contacting your domain name provider and ask them why it isn't updating.

Did you sign up with your domain name or a heliohost name? If you signed up with a heliohost domain then you'll want to park your domain. Either way these are the two name servers you need: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org

No, your registered heliohost name won't be effected nor any functions effected. With a Parked Domain you can login to your cpanel file manager and make changes but your file manager will still show the heliohost urls even though your going through your parked domain name. Any and all files will now work with the heliohost domain and the parked domain name.

Thay are both pointing to heliohost's name server. You don't want to use A (Address name) or C (Conical name) you want to use NS (For external name servers)

Yes Heliohost can handle the DNS. What you need to do is point your Domain Name to the Heliohost name servers which are: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org And then register with your domain name.

You can use the Parked Domain option at the cpanel for your new domain name, but you need to point your domain name to Heliohost. The name servers for Heliohost are: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org Then go to the Parked Domain option at your cpanel and enter your domain name and wait about 24 hours. To cancel your new account requires you NOT to login to your account for 30 days and it will be deleted automatically.

It will delete itself in 30 days if you'll just not login.

It would help to post your domain name.

If your wondering why your domain name (dstar.uni.cc) isn't working, it's because it's not showing any NS records right now. Something must have went wrong so go back to http://www.uni.cc and enter these name servers again for your domain: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org and click save. That should fix it. Cheers, Byron

No you have one more step. You need login to your cpanel and click onto the link that says "Parked Domains" and then where it says "Create A New Parked Domain" you enter: dstar.uni.cc into the text field and click "Add Domain" and by this time tomorrow you should be good to go.

You won't be using those fields with the NS option. All you need to enter is the name servers.

It's been a long time since I registered with www.uni.cc so I don't remember the exact steps. OK, you want to choose the first option: 1) NS (For external name servers) so click the radio button for that option and then fill out the 2 name server fields with: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org and then click "Continue" or whatever to proceed. Basically just give then the information they ask for like a valid email address and a username. Should be basic stuff. That's really all you need to get a domain name. I think they will probably send you a confirmation email. Let me know when you've gotten your domain name and I'll tell you what to do at your cpanel.

It may take up to 24 hrs to activate.

First you need to go sign up for your domain name at http://www.uni.cc before you go to cpanel. And I'm assuming you want this to be a Parked Domain and not an Addon Domain, right? The difference is that an Addon Domain is a sub directory on your site and a Parked Domain is your site.

You want to use NS and the name servers are: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org and on my site that gives me http://alpha1omega.uni.cc/ or http://alpha1omega.byrondallas.heliohost.org/

If you look on the wiki page for this section here: If you don't remove the #'s from the front of those lines then your script will fail. You directory should have file permissions of 755. Any file that ends in .pl or .cgi needs permissions set to 755 also.

That's really great to hear! Thanks djbob!

Everything seems to be ok now except for the ftp.

Seems you've gotten the ftp back up and working, but now I have a new problem. Any perl files on my site that use a date format ie: use Date::Format; are giving me a 500 error now. All other perl files seem to be working ok.

Right after you made this post I was able to login OK, but heliohost went down again and now I'm not even able to connect to the ftp at all. This page will tell you when I'm able to connect and login. http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/test/ftp_login.php I'll keep it up awhile until all is well.

Redirect by day of the week: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/php/redirect_by_weekday.txt

After this last down time I can't login to my ftp. It says my password isn't valid anymore. I've been using the same password that I login to cpanel and it's always worked in the past without me setting up a password in my ftp manager. Should I just go and try to fix it at my cpanel ftp manager or is this something that you (djbob) need to fix? Thanks, Byron

Post your php snippets or links to examples here: Here is a bunch of good snippets: http://www.phpro.org/examples/
