Re: hosting
yeah net carver,
apparently they have some fraud rating based on country of origin and ip address and you get your billing options based on that.

Re: hosting
Anybody ever get clean urls working on media temple grid service?
I had wrongly assumed that clean urls would be supported out of the box on media temple and have still been using my other hosting plan until now.
Boy i should have checked this before i signed up with media temple.

Re: hosting
What kind of errors are you getting? Have you tried any of these tweaks? Give Options +FollowSymlinks a shot (random guess).

I dont know mary tried everything working but couldnt get it to work. Doesnt even seem to be reading the .htaccess file but there are no errors in the diagnostics.

Re: hosting
So you weren’t able to cause any server errors? Try adding some broken code to the .htaccess.
Also, is the site using its IP address and a tilde (e.g. http://ipaddress/~example/) by any chance? I’ve gotten stumped on a site5 reseller server – caused by RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php. I think it’s got something to do with the tilde, so maybe we have similar problems.

Hi everyone
I take a look to to wiki page and i found that HostGator was not recommended!
I am surprised cause I moved some of my website to it last month (I took a reseller package with cpanel) and all look to work just fine, no problem with file permission or directory permission (image and file set to 755)!
I ask because the list must be correct, maybe hostgator changed the configuration and know it can host correctle txp websites?

Hi. You can try pair.com They are very inexpensive and pleasant to speak with but I am not sure if they accept Paypal or not.
Best of luck.

They might’ve changed – I did a few TXP installs in January, but it was just painful. It could’ve been the permissions for the svn checkout just start out wrong. I’ll try again. I think pay-for-ssh access is pretty stupid though.

Sorry for not responding jm I didnt realize there was a reply.
The problem is that htaccess files doesnt get read on subdomains. For proper domains the standard .htaccess file works.
Its a big problem for me though as i redo a lot of sites for people and i usually build on a subdomain first then just switch it over.
Not really sure how to trouble shoot this. If i put a load of crap into the htaccess file diagnostics doesnt show an error, but it does show up in the diagnostics info…

Re: hosting
btw.
I set up an account at a small orange just so i could build sites on subdomains. Every thing there is great but Ive notice a few very brief(one refresh reloads it) seconds of downtime. Id be reluctant to put a commercial site live on it because of that . Other that that its really good value. But I might have to shift over to them anyway if i can get txp going on the media temple subdomains. Still its worth trying to figure out cause the gridservice seems to have really good uptime for a shared situation…

Does mt’s support help at all? Or do they just cripple subdomains?

hi jm,
>>Does mt’s support help at all?
I made support aware of this, they aknowleged the proplem but said they dont know how to fix it. They told me to try the textpattern or media temple forum…
Someone told me that maybe the root htaccess file is somehow interfering with the subdomain htaccess files but i dont know.

Re: hosting
That’s awesome. I love it when hosts don’t know jack about their product. Site5 was pretty similar as far as being retarded for reseller support. I finally solved my problem, as it was RewriteBase that was incorrect.
I don’t know what else you can do – sorry!

Re: hosting
Does anyone have experience with Mosso? I’m looking at options that would allow me to provide hosting to clients, and they look interesting.
I’m also curious about United Hosting for my personal sites and projects. Can anyone give a review of them?
Thanks. :)

jm i got clean urls going on the subdomains.
Its funny you can use the standard textpattern .htaccess for regular domains but you have to use a different one for subdomains. i have it on the clean url tweaks thread.
