Malmoth

The pg gem fails to build, since apparently PostgreSQL development libraries aren't installed on the server.

Not really. The web site was running on the same config for months.

When I reach my website which resides on both malmoth.heliohost.org and malmoth.co.cc I find the web site to be offline. I see the "HelioHost Account Queued Ahoy! You're seeing this page because HelioHost has not gotten about to installing and configuring your account yet. ..." page when I try via malmoth.co.cc, and I see nothing but a browser specific error page when I try via malmoth.heliohost.org. However my account has been active and my website was functioning properly prior to this issue. I can't log in to the cPanel either. My username/password permutation doesnt work. I figured it has to be some issue with the server in general, and I opted not to report it so far, but it hasn't been back to normal. djbob, can you look into the issue when you have time?

Did you try switching to active mode? Give it a try; it might help.

It is now... Cheers.. By the way djbob, it's nice to see you solving server issues, spending your time in order to keep HelioHost up to a standard. We appreciate your efforts and the service you provide us for free. Thank you, sincerely..

Ubuntu at home. NetBSD and OpenSolaris at work.

Please, for the love of God, follow this thread..

Broken link... Why don't you paste the code here, in a codebox?

Why would you want to mix ASP.Net and PHP? You could do this all in PHP or vice versa. Are you planning to use PHP4Mono? And if so, I doubt HelioHost would be suitable. And as a side note, I think it would be best to build a core application server that handles calculations on a multithreaded pipeline basis. That's, of course, if your game uses some streamlined mechanics as in OGame. But of course that would require some sort of a dedicated server, in which case the technical requirements render any (whether free or not) shared web host unusable. So, you're stuck with the scripting language itself, and this will cause a performance penalty. Maybe the penalty can be avoided partially, by using stored procedures in a PostgreSQL database and storing preemptive results; but it has to be designed carefully. Anyway... I know it seems like a basic task to design and build such a game, and to an extent it is, but it's still a huge load to carry on just two shoulders. Wish you luck..

I have. Then I tried to see if fotomore.com does appear in the list, but it doesn't. And I can try to add it again without getting that "it's already bla bla" warning. But the weird thing is, just as I check my public_html via FTP, now I can see the fotomore.com directory which has been created today. Maybe waiting another 12 or so hours would do me good. Things seem to be somewhat in motion.. I'll give you an update in the morning. (GMT+2 over here...)

Just wait for 24 hours after you create an account. It can take anywhere between a minute and a day for the system to update. Check back tomorrow evening, around 8 or 9 pm. If the new account isn't still active by then, then I guess we have a problem in the sign-up script.

The most recent Ruby gem for PostgreSQL access is pg. However, since the required PostgreSQL headers do not exist on the server, gem can't build the native extension for pg. Is it possible to install PostgreSQL headers? INFO: `gem install -y` is now default and will be removed INFO: use --ignore-dependencies to install only the gems you list Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing pg: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install -y pg checking for main() in -lpq... no checking for main() in -llibpq... no checking for main() in -lms/libpq... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

Same problem... Error from domain wrapper: Bind reloading on stevie using rndc zone: [malmoth.heliohost.org] And the addon domain doesn't appear in the list. Also, I can try to add it over and over again; it doesn't say it's already active.

phpPgAdmin is back, running normal at the moment... Thank you, djbob..
