By the way, just updating, I'm changing back all my SSL certificates to the ones from LE which I got myself!

Thanks a lot for the help.. best of luck sorting out the autoSSL problems!

Let's see what he says, but I'm going to assume it's developershub.tk seeing that's the only domain on his account. For what it's worth, that domain works properly for me.

 

 

 

I was referring to royalsdestiny.tk.

Developershub.tk is hosted on elsewhere and its SSL is also provided by them. I have changed the main domain to thet because a subdomain, backend.developershub.tk is hosted on heliohost.

And also, i have changed the default SSL certificates and installed new ones from LetsEncrypt but those will expire in 90 days(obviously).

You can try checking with a different website which uses the comodo certificate with google chrome, thats the combination I was using when I got the security error(repeatedly).

I have uninstalled the letsencrypt certificate from royalsdestiny and have re-installed the self-signed ones from Comodo. You can see the error at https://www.royalsdestiny.tk

We've known about this. It's been around for a while. In fact, we have a Wiki article on it: http://wiki.helionet.org/Installing_a_Let%27s_Encrypt_SSL_Certificate

 

Also, if you use Tommy, that server has AutoSSL. It hands out free DV (domain verification) SSL certificates from Comodo to every domain on the server, and renews them automatically as they expire.

I know that but for some reason those certificates are not accepted by browsers (even those that support SNI). All my domains which had certificates from Comodo gave a security error when trying to access them with the https protocol!

The free certificates provided by Comodo are valid for 90 days and you cannot renew those again for free! After 90 days, they have to be bought.

The error: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Hi,

I was just looking through many certification authorities and just came across one named Let's Encrypt. Its the first and supposedly the only free CA. Just a suggestion for root admins, you can have a look, because their SSL certificates are obviously more widely accepted than self-signed ones. So, if you feel its ok, then installing their certbot client would provide all users of HelioHost free SSL certificates which almost all browsers would accept without showing a security error.

LetsEncrypt CA: https://letsencrypt.org/

Certbot: https://certbot.eff.org/

I have started availing their certificates via a website https://sslforfree.com, but the only problem is that all certificates are valid for only 90 days and they don't have a auto-renew feature.

Apparently forum usernames have to be three or more characters. Never knew that.

very well, thanks a lot!

I just created my account with a different username.. really sorry to be impatient.. I had to urgently get my website up and running.. anyways.. thanks for all the support, can you please change my helionet username to "rd". That is my accounts username. If its not available, change it back to rutaj6.

Thanks a lot!

Hello

 

I want to remove my parked domain ileren.be but I can't seem to find the parked domains button.

Can you help me ?

 

Best regards.

 

Which design are you using? Paper lantern or x3? Is it an orange/white/black design or a blue one?

UPDATE: Waking up at 3am and getting an account on the tommy server is not as easy as it sounds... Is there any other way I can get an account on tommy, considering that I already had an account? (which I had got during the beta testing)

The best solution for "resetting" an account is to delete the account entirely and start over.

 

If you don't want to do that, the closest you can get would be:

• Remove all addon/parked domains and any subdomains you don't need
• Change main domain if needed (http://www.heliohost.org/classic/support/scripts/domain)
• Check that you've dropped all of your databases (both mysql and postgres)
• Check in your home folder for a .softaculous_backups folder and delete it (download the backups first if you want them)
• Check in your home folder for any backup_*.tar.gz files and delete them (these are account backups you've made from cPanel, download the backups first if you need them)
• Check in your home folder for a tmp folder, empty the contents (don't delete the actual folder, this is old session data and your statistics data for tools like awstats)
• Check in your home folder for a logs folder, empty the contents (these are well...logs)
• Empty the contents of the public_html folder (don't delete the actual folder)

Thanks a lot! I guess i will go for the delete option! Anyways tommy signups open up at 3 am(for me), and stay open for some time...

Hi, just some help needed,

i have an account here on heliohost but actually i want completely clear it and start afresh for a new domain will full space available. I cleared the public_html folder but it seems like there is other residual data too. Any way to clear all of that (inclusive of logs and all data) and kind of reset the account.

If required, i have no objections with letting the account get into the queue of new accounts and waiting for it.

All help would be appreciated.

Sorry about not reading the TOS perfectly, i will transfer all data and then delete the second account!

Thanks for all the support!

Just wondering about my options,

Is there nay way to setup a trigger on an email id, for arrival of email. The moment an email arrives, a particular JavaScript or PHP file can be called and triggered.

Just if it is possible and would not put too much load on the server!

Add developershub.tk to cpanel then. Just because cpanel knows how to handle requests for that domain doesn't mean the requests for that domain will go to Tommy.

How should I do that because my A records for developershub.tk are pointed at my IP to connect to my local server.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!

I solved the problem! Heliohost is the best!

Create MX records where ever your DNS is hosted and point them to johnny.heliohost.org or tommy.heliohost.org.

But the cpanel interface only allows email address to have the subdomain as user@mail.example.com and as user@example.com... All mails coming to example.com are routed through mail.example.com to my heliohost account on tommy but cpanel does not allow email id creation!

The details:

Domain hosted on heliohost: backend.developershub.tk

domain hosted elsewhere: developershub.tk

dns records:_

mx record from developershub.tk pointing at backend.developershub.tk

a record for backend.developershub.tk pointed at heliohost

Email id possible to create: user@backend.developershub.tk

Email id required: user@developershub.tk

All help would be appreciated!

Hi, I have a main domain like example.tk hosted on my pc but I want to use heliohost for email hosting..

I have a subdomain like mail.example.com hosted on my account as main domain with only A record and mx record poiting to it.. Is it possible to create emails for the main domain and not subdomain..

Make sure your nameservers on that domain are set to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org I searched for the DNS records on that domain and freenom doesn't reply. If you already have your DNS records set properly you'll need to contact freenom support to find out what is going on.

I had contacted freenom as per your directions but they seem to not have any support department left to attend others requests. I tried adding the same domain today again but it didn't work. I have now bought another domain and it has been successfully added as an addon domain. Thank you for all your support!

Even though the domain has been registered with Freenom which is a valid domain registrar, this is the error received. It has been over 48 hours since the domain has been pointed to the name servers of Heliohost!

Thanks in advance.

 

Create the MySQL dump:

/bin/mysqldump --user=cpUsername --password=cpPassword cpUsername_database > /home/cpUsername/cpUsername_database.sql

Probably should mention you need to repeat this line multiple times if you have multiple databases. It also doesn't accept wildcards (you need extra code to do a SELECT from the information_schema instead). I'm sure we'll get someone who will try a database name of cpUsername_% at some point...

I have already added the line in the note. Though its not in bold so its easy to miss out.

 

/bin/tar zcvf /home/cpUsername/backup.tar.gz *.sql public_html/*

 

If users have web roots for addon domains that are outside of public_html (I know at least 2 users that do this on Tommy), they need to add them to the end of this line if they wish to include them.

I will add that now. But i'm not quite sure what the code for that will be!

Sounds interesting!

Thanks rutaj6.

Hitting a like. Not for the post but for the efforts you took to help the newbies.

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. The idea for creating the wiki article was yours. I would have never thought of it anyway. And anyways, as a member of HelioHost, I take it as a duty to help as much as I can.

As requested by giteshss2,

I have created the wiki page and this is the link: http://wiki.helionet.org/Running_Auto_Backups

It has detailed procedure of how to go about creating and setting the file.

Hey, I would love to help but at present don't have wiki access. I will request for it and try to post as soon as possible.

Thanks, works now!

Hi again,

During the previous problem with Tommy as I had said earlier in my post (http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/27176-domain-errors-on-tommy/)... That got solved but a new error has arrived! Looks like the downtime caused a problem with mismatched records.

Kindly remove this entry from the DNS Cluster so that I can continue with my work!

Thanks!
