phpBB forums
Could someone with a HostGator site and phpBB forum please test the following post
Quote: --------------------- did ya get it ? if not go get it!!! rudy o's 50 split with 2695 cc MONSTER !! The detail on this car is flawless !! and oh yeah, did I mention 2695 cc MONSTER !!? this is one SICK split ! --------------------- BACKGROUND I Currently have a forum and will be creating at least one more. A problem with my current host is I do not get honest, or at least complete answers to my concerns and problems. Recently we've been getting server500 errors and unable to post corectly. For example one user had the above post and it will not post properly. Now a helpful person on phpBB forums sugested quote: -------------------------- A 500 error means that something got in the way of PHP completing its task. Most often nowadays, this is a "filter" installed by the host which removes certain requests from the control of the web server. In the post you quote, I see the following things that an agressive filter might have problems with: split cc Both are "dangerous commands" that are used in attacks, and a less-than-optimal filter would simply block them from getting through to PHP to process. ------------------------------ Which sounds reasonable as when cc and split are used seperately the post goes through. This is a problem new this month, and when I tested it on other phpBB forums the post works. When I asked my host they deny adding any filters or changing any settings in the last month. And yet within that same time frame another php based program suddenly ceased to function properly after working for the last year... Anyway I just want to know if the above post works on anyones forum in HG. Thanks

Re: phpBB forums
So far, I haven't had any errors of the sort. Of course, I only registered my domain last weekend, so I'm still quite new to Host Gator. But so far, they have been quite responsive to my contacts. I was recommended to use HG by several web hosting forum users. I heard that they had great uptime, great customer service, and others stuff. After looking at their packages, I couldn't help but not register. You don't have to take my word for it though. Like I said, I am still a new member.

Re: phpBB forums
I have several PHPBB forums, and have never had any problems related to HG. I tried the post you mentioned on 4 forums, and didn't have any issues.....
I get annoyed from time to time when something happens, I have ot go to live support and get a less than understanding or responsive person..... but that doesn't happen often, and when it does, I just think back to other hosts I've been with..... Hostgator is the best of all that I've ever used. I still use another host as well, but only for some specialized specs I needed that I can't get here without a dedicated box..... You'll run into issues anytime you're in a shared hosting environment, Hostgators accessibility and response time is what generally sets them apart.

It is possible that the mod_security settings could cause a 500 error when using commands like that. However, it is likely a problem with the rules rather than something they are trying to prevent. Some mod_security rulesets are published, so your host may not have changed anything and yet new/changed rules are in effect. HG uses mod_security, but they would correct a rule problem such as the one you are talking about if it were brought to their attention. Rules do act strange and I've had to remove and edit rules from my ruleset that acted funny or did things that they shouldn't. HG seems to understand mod_security very well, so I doubt you would have a problem like that for more than a few hours before it was fixed. There is no reason for a host to not update a rule problem like you are talking about. Either they don't care or are clueless about what is wrong.

Re: phpBB forums
I'm trying to migrate my phpBB forums from one host to HG, but I'm having trouble.
I get SQL errors when I try to access the forums. Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/niora/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 330 Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/niora/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 331 phpBB : Critical Error Could not connect to the database When I install phpBB through fantastico, it works, but I lose my DB, and when I try to reinstall my DB through myPHPadmin, or phpBB, I get: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 91 Help! I'm baffled.

the best way to go is to ask support to do the transfer for you. I donīt know if you are a reseller or not, but HG can do a few migrations for free if you are a reseller. Just send a support ticket and I am sure they will help you and you will not loose any DB info. ** NOTE ** It only works if you have CPanel on your other host, also. Regards, - Sergio
