If you have a Myspace doohickey and your email of record is [...]@gmail.com, request your password. Post your results, please.

Repeated requests for "forgot my password" are un-answered for more than 40 hours. It's not just me.

Sorry, but I think using gmail, yahoo mail or any other free email service when you have your own domains is pretty silly.

Why? I see nothing wrong with it, and no offense, i feel gmail will be much more stable and long-lasting than any domain you'll run. They have the funds to back their shit up

That's not quite the point. Most people still have free email addresses.

Why?

Well, let's see . . . . I bet if I had a myspace account and lost my password I could retrieve it from their system.

How can you retrieve a password from your mailserver if you can't even upload a php script

That might be. But it would be FAR more meaningful to discover that Google had issues with myspace.com than to discover it has issues with gotwebhost.com --

then you sell your site and nobody has a way to get ahold of oyu and you freak out because your mail is gone

YARGH! Silly? Gmail saved me a number of times on the road when I need to search for an older email, that wouldn't have been on my laptop.

I guess I need to clear up that issue since you seem to keep harping on it.

I followed his instructions and uploaded it. I tested it and it failed . . . because I used www,domain.com/test.php instead of www.domain.com/test.php

It was late, and I did not notice the typo, until the next morning when I looked again and discovered my error.

Maybe to you, but I would have a lot more interest if I discovered they had issues with us.

Yeah, I could see having all my business accounts go to a gmail address.

That would work . . . . not.

Not every email exchanged is business related.

Not every email exchanged is business related.

99% of mine is.

You do know you can set alias' and forwards right? Sometimes I wonder about you.

[mrkris]

You assume a lot. Then again, so did I .. I assumed you owning a hosting company would mean you could upload a php script.

[01:13] ************: hey, ************ from gfy
[01:13] 16075497: hello
[01:14] ************: did you see my post in that SEO thread regarding phpinfo?
[01:14] 16075497: I am not sure I understand your request . . . did you want to know what version of PHP comes with our servers?
[01:14] ************: hmm.. can you get me a link to a file with the following code in it:

Code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>


[01:14] ************: thats pretty clear
[01:14] ************: i need to see the output from that function
[01:14] ************: it gives a bunch of information about what extensions php has, etc
[01:14] ************: which is configuration-dependent
[01:17] 16075497: to be honest, I would not even know where to start looking.

I can tell you that our virtual servers use the Direct Admin control panel, and that comes with PHP4.4.2 ( http://www.directadmin.com/install.html )

I honestly don't know where I would start looking for a file with that particular line of code it it

[01:19] 16075497: oh, so I can just create a file and add that code? do I need to add anything else? I am not a tech geek.
[01:19] ************: hehe, yeah, thats it
[01:19] ************: just make a file somewhere that we can get to via the web
[01:19] 16075497: one moment
[01:19] ************: k
[01:19] 16075497: can I add it to a blog entry? like make a temporary blog entry and just put that line in it?
[01:20] ************: i doubt it
[01:20] ************: just have one of the tech guys hit me up tomorrow
[01:20] ************: or email me the url when you can get in touch with them
[01:20] ************: michael@************.com
[01:21] 16075497: hmmm. . . let me see if I can figure out how to do it . . . fo I need to name the file something .php?
[01:22] 16075497: or does the extension matter?
[01:22] ************: .php
[01:22] ************: im heading out though
[01:22] ************: if you're able to get it going, email it over please
[01:22] ************: take care
[01:22] 16075497: k
[01:22] 16075497: if I can't figure it out tonight, I will do it first thing tomorrow
