Fun with GoDaddy

I came to work this morning to find out that our new website was not working. It seems that sometime between last night and this morning they changed something on their server so that the correct configuration from yesterday:

$txpcfg[‘txpath’] = ‘/var/chroot/home/content/myhlc/html/textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘doc_root’] = ‘/var/chroot/home/content/myhlc/html’;

no longer worked. After a few minutes, it finally occured to me to temporarily reupload setup.php and run it. Now it seems

$txpcfg[‘txpath’] = ‘/home/content/myhlc/html/textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘doc_root’] = ‘/home/content/myhlc/html’;

is what is required. It wasn’t hard to fix, but a little warning would have been extremely useful.

Actually, I was wrong. The home page appears but it seems now the .htaccess functions are completely broken. I can’t get past the home page no matter where I go on the site.

After a couple of failed attempts to try to figure it out, I went to Use clean URLs with RewriteRules! and followed the instructions. That appears to have done the trick.

I upgraded the hosting to “Hosting Configuration 2.0” (whatever that means) today. It immediately broke the .htaccess rules above. So I carefully backed everything up and upgrade from g1.19 straight to 4.0.3. It went off without a hitch, and the site is up and running again.
