Yeah, he saw a bit of a load spike. You can see the oranges fading away on the load bars right after he came back up. If you're curious, it was an abusive user who caused 4153% (!!!) more load than the second heaviest user. He got suspended for it. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It's not the best thing in the world and I certainly wouldn't recommend using it on public networks (e.g. free wifi) since your password and content travel in the clear and could be sniffed by others using the network. I used it for years (from home) back when we had the Stevie server and never had an issue.

ASP.NET should be compatible with .NET 4.5 on Tommy. Be aware that it's Mono though. There might be a few differences.

Cron is limited to 2 executions a day, so no. The most you could do is a single job every 12 hours. If you put the script somewhere accessible by browser, we can set up a call to the URL that runs every 4 minutes though.

The timeout for SFTP suggests your network is blocking port 1373 outbound. The Explicit FTPS setting is known to be an issue for some users, which is why we recommend SFTP to start with. Since neither work for you, try changing the Protocol to FTP, and Encryption to "Only use Plain FTP (insecure)" and see if that works. You can change these in the Site Manager in FileZilla. You might also try using a different FTP client.

Requests are granted in the order in which they were received, provided the account is active when you reach the front of the line. Java has a limited number of users to control load, so someone else has to lose Java before you can receive it. The line won't move until someone else's account with Java becomes inactive/suspended or is deleted. For Tommy, a week or two is not terribly uncommon, though a bit longer than normal. The users over on Johnny are often seeing wait times of several months though. Also, in fairness to other users who are also waiting, we do not honor requests to skip the queue. If the wait time is too long for you, you will need to find another host.

Renamed.

You shouldn't need to since the root admin gets an email when you donate so he knows to send the invite. If the invite never arrives due to spam filters though, you can post your transaction ID and it can be resent.

What's the username?

https://heliohost.org/donate/ Once you donate, you'll get an email within 24 hours containing a link to create a tommy account (the root admin sends them manually, so they're not instant). Minimum is $1 USD. Anything smaller and we lose it all in fees (you'll get a refund if this happens).

It fills very quickly (within 30 minutes typically). It goes by number of accounts, not time, so some days fill quicker than others. It was actually open for an hour tonight. On Sunday it was open for 6 hours. On Thursday last week, it lasted <15 minutes. Our record is 9 seconds ("everybody mashed F5 at once"). You can see the periods of time when it was open here: http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/monitor/ If staying up to midnight and trying repeatedly isn't viable for you, you can also donate $1 and get an account that way.

Yes. It resets every night at midnight UTC. For you, it should be right at midnight since you're in the UK.

Marking solved per request.

Krydos hasn't been around to take a look at it, likely due to the weekend. Hopefully he'll stop by in the next 24 hours. Also, while this DNS issue might be our problem, Freenom is having some sort of problem lately. We had another 2 users with the "NS records were missing despite being set" issue for freenom domains earlier.

It's archived. Escalating to have it restored.

I've renamed your forum account to fuzmic2 so you can reuse your username when you register. Please note though that you won't be able to register until you receive the invite email. You have to use the special link contained in that email to register on Tommy since the free registrations are not open.

The hostname is localhost for scripts running on our servers. If you're accessing MySQL remotely, you need to enable it in cPanel under the Remote MySQL tab, then use johnny.heliohost.org or tommy.heliohost.org (select the one for the server you chose during registration). In all cases, the port is 3306.

That means the nameservers are blank over at Freenom. We've been getting that from a few people using Freenom domains lately...something on Freenom's end seems to be broken since the issue is their domain settings not updating like they should. Verify that the Nameserver settings on Freenom's website actually saved, wait a few hours, then try again. When they're set correctly, you should be able to see the records showing here: https://bybyron.net/php/tools/dns_records.php?domain=dollarbaby.tk&rec=ALL That tool lives on our servers, so if that can't see the records, cPanel likely won't see them either.

WAR files usually get deployed with the username in front of them, so it'll likely be at http://infotecq.heliohost.org/infotecq_lab5/ Deployment can only be done by one person (Krydos), so you have to wait for him to do it. He usually works the Escalated bin once or twice a day.

Have you already donated? If so, please post: Your transaction IDThe username of your existing Johnny account so we can move it (or make the username reusable if you've deleted the account).If not, you should donate through PayPal or Skrill using the buttons on the page at http://heliohost.org/tommy/. If you've deleted your account, be aware that it can take up to 24 hours for the email with the link to create the new Tommy account to arrive.

You should use ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org as the nameservers.

Actually, if you use http://heliohost.org/tommy/, you should NOT delete your account. We'll just move it for you. Be aware that getting a Tommy account this way is not free though (a donation of $1 USD or more is required). If you decide to donate, please let us know your Johnny account's username and your Paypal/Skrill Transaction ID and I can have it moved. If you want to move for free, you'll need to delete your account. This will delete all of your data, so back up anything you want save first. Deleting your hosting account does not delete your forum account. After deleting your account, wait several hours, then go to https://heliohost.org/signup/ and register when Tommy registrations are open. They open at midnight UTC every day and fill quickly. Please note you will not be able to reuse your username without an admin's assistance. If you want to reuse your username, let us know and we can rename your forum account so the username can be reused for the Tommy account.

Do some research on "SQL injection". Basically, the issue is that you allow your users to enter data that's then directly sent to MySQL without being checked for MySQL's reserved characters/commands. There's nothing stopping someone from putting SQL commands in one of those inputs. Once someone does that, PHP just happily inserts their code into yours, MySQL runs it, and all sorts of things can happen. For example, lets assume a simple search. In the below, $query is whatever a user types in a search box: SELECT * FROM data WHERE `text` LIKE ('%$query%'); In normal cases, this is fine. If "code" was searched, you'd get queries like this after the variable is filled in: SELECT * FROM data WHERE `text` LIKE ('%code%'); The above returns every result where `text` contains "code". This is what's supposed to happen, and a site with this code would work as expected. Now, let's be evil...I type this in the search box: '); DROP TABLE users; -- This results in the query becoming the following: SELECT * FROM data WHERE `text` LIKE ('%'); DROP TABLE users; --%'); That query gets sent to the server, and the server happily runs each of the queries listed, in order. The server will return everything in data where `text` is % (wildcard meaning "anything"), then drop the users table. You then come back later and wonder where your users table went...

I'm fairly certain that Cpanel doesn't support it. Krydos will know for sure, but you may end up needing to use CloudFlare or similar to do this.

There's probably an issue on our end too, especially seeing you're on Johnny (which is known for domain setup failures due to load). Escalating.
