  1. Renaming it will just disable it. The exact effects depend on what's in it. If you want, post the contents of it inside code tags here and I'll look.
  2. Very true. There's indeed no such thing as perfect since the internet has far too many variables beyond your control, any of which could change or break and make a website fail. A good host and a service like CloudFlare will go a good way towards closing the gap though. Google probably has the best known uptime out there, and even they had an outage a few years back...
  3. It wouldn't provide much benefit. If you have two servers hosting the site, but they share a single database kept on one server, all the servers will stop working if the server containing the database goes down. You need to have two completely independent copies on different servers. Separate database and all. That also means you have to make any edits twice, unless you make a script to synchronize them (probably doable but not fun). Be aware you're only allowed one account unless you ask for permission to have a second and can explain why you need it. Otherwise, you're violating our terms of service and all of your accounts will get suspended. If you need near-perfect reliability, a paid web host is probably more in line with what your client needs. We usually recommend Hostgator.
  4. This support request is being escalated to our root admin.

  6. We don't limit to 1 per hour like that unless you got throttled for some reason. Our limit is 50/day and you can request more if you can show that you're not sending spam (we'll want to see things like example emails, etc. if you need such an increase) Moved to customer service.

  9. The system does this for a variety of reasons. Using certain functions in cpanel will create one for example.
  10. You are indeed on Ricky now. I've renamed your forum account back for you. Enjoy your Ricky account
  11. Actually, doing that won't work because your forum account is named that. You could use ctfisep1... I'm hoping Krydos fixes Johnny's backlog before then though so your account gets deleted. That way you can just the same username and email address as before and everything will work as it should.
  12. Accounts go inactive when they get flagged for deletion, and stay that way until it actually deletes. If you wanted to cancel your deletion in the meantime, you can just renew it. Johnny is really backed up on his account management work though, so I'm not sure it'll even get deleted by tonight...you're 1 of 9 accounts waiting in line for a deletion, and deletions are processed after new sign ups (52 are waiting in line for that). I've put in a request to have that looked at because even Johnny doesn't usually back up this bad. When he does, it's usually because he got hung up restarting Apache and stopped working his queue entirely. Try signing up tonight and if it says the username or email is taken, it didn't delete yet. If I see your account finish its delete I'll let you know.
  13. No, you still need to delete the old hosting account first. You can do that here: http://www.heliohost.org/classic/support/scripts/delete Once you do that and it deletes, you're ready to sign up on Ricky when registrations open. Deleting your hosting account will NOT delete your forum account, so you'll keep using the forum account you have now. I'll just rename it to match your Ricky account once you sign up tonight. I only added that 2 to the forum account because you can't create a hosting account if a forum account with the username exists already.
  14. Just a heads up, Ricky allows more accounts than Tommy, so unless you need Java or ASP.NET, Ricky is easier to get an account on. Also, I've renamed your forum account so you can reuse your username too. Once you sign up, let me know and I'll rename it back for you.
  15. Your account was suspended for causing high server load. I have unsuspended your account, but please try to limit the load you put on our servers as it slows down not only your site, but the sites of all other HelioHost users sharing your server. If you still see the suspended page, please clear your cache.
  16. If you're able to donate, we can move your Johnny account instead of a sending a Tommy invite. Otherwise you have to delete it and sign up again at midnight when the registrations for Tommy and Ricky reset. http://wiki.helionet.org/Moving_your_account
  17. First, try clearing your cache. I've seen CF do some weird things due to stale browser cache. However, your particular issue seems to be fairly common with CF. I've noticed this on one of my sites as well. CF doesn't always play nicely with immediate redirects in the root. Try removing the index.php redirect and doing it using .htaccess instead. If that doesn't help, my next recommendation would be to move the content into the root so the redirect can be eliminated entirely. By the way, unless for some reason really don't want people to know you use our services, there's no reason not to post your domains. Every domain hosted on our service is indexed by Google (regardless of whether it's mentioned on the forums) and several other search engines, so the additional linking actually serves to improve search visibility. By not mentioning them, you're actually hurting your site believe it or not, and you're also making it more difficult for us to support you too since I now have to look them up.
  18. The public_html folder should be 750. All folders inside should be 755, unless the folder is the root folder for a subdomain or addon domain (in which case it should be 750 like public_html is). PHP files should be 644 (be aware that SFTP uploads are 664, which won't work until you change them...Apache does not like PHP files being writable by the group).
  19. We changed the outbound IP for Johnny yesterday due to an issue with Softaculous. Escalating to have the RDNS updated. Thank you for pointing this out.
  20. Could be script failure too. The deployment script is a beta feature. We'll see what Krydos says.
  21. Unblocked. There's no way to disable the IMAP that I know of. You can pass a completely random username that doesn't even exist in, it'll still block you. The most I can think of is not setting up any device to get mail from us and instead using the webmail. I've always thought the blocking for bad mail passwords was a bit harsh, but it is effective. It's meant to help mitigate the risks associated with bots vs. weak passwords
  22. It doesn't take 48 hours anymore. It's "up to" 24 hours now, usually less. Also, I'm not sure if this will even work properly right now because of this open issue: Johnny cPanel license needs to be renewed. I'll escalate this just in case that license issue causes it to not work. Our root admin Krydos can check on it after fixing that license issue to verify it changed successfully.
  23. Unsolved. Krydos will need to check on this and can post relevant logs if they exist, but I wonder if the WAR simply can't be deployed.
  24. Regular domains (.com, .org, .net, and similar) have to be purchased through a registrar to use them. They're not free. You can buy domains with common TLDs like .com and .org at any major registrar, we recommend Namecheap. If you don't want to buy that domain, you need to change your main domain to something that you can use. You can do that here: http://www.heliohost.org/classic/support/scripts/domain You can pick a something.heliohost.org domain, or a domain with an ending TLD that's from a free registrar (.tk, .ml, and .cf are the most well known free TLDs, but they can only be obtained from a single registrar called Freenom, which is known for poor customer service and their fairly common practice of cancelling domains or hijacking them and serving malware so they can extort money from you to get your site back). We own the domain heliohost.org, which is why we can give away anything underneath it (something.heliohost.org). Using the shared IP address will always show Queued. The server needs to see a domain name in it requests because it uses the domain name to determine what content needs to be shown.
  25. cPanel's license seems to have expired on Johnny. Escalating.
