I love my Hosting company!!!
 

Certified Hosting Rocks!

I was just installing a new trading script on my main site and crashed my whole network. :Oh crap
All 38 sites were showing a 403 forbidden error. :Oh crap:Oh crap
I chmodded the wrong thing :Oh crap:Oh crap
I couldn't get it back so I called them :helpme
It was fixed in 5 minutes! :pimp

Thanks! :thumbsup:thumbsup

so certified hosting know how to chmod. very impressive. thanks for the info.

hahahaha

I should hope they all do. But the fact that they responded in less than 5 minutes speaks volumes.

Well that's normal since there are people who sit all day and wait to receive messages like yours.It's not like nobody care and saying "oh that shithead again bothering us".

still, at sunday ... good job girl :thumbsup

:thumbsup :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Also very happy with their support.

LOL :1orglaugh

LOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

funny thread :)
stay positive though

I'm happy to report that my hosting company is also proficient in chmod. I, too, was amazed. It's so easy to take chmod for granted these days. Glad to see hosts keeping it real and putting training time into chmod. I heard level 2 techs can chgrp and even chown.

I love National Net. I've been with them for like ten years now. Never a problem, tickets always get answered quickly.

hahahaha

OK, I genuinely :1orglaugh

You have almost redeemed yourself ! :thumbsup

but can they chmod well?

chmod -R 777 /

"I has fixed j00r problem."

Bad boy :p

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Actually, this will cause problems. :1orglaugh

Well depend what kind a scripts you run,normally all scripts should work with it,but if you use cgi script then you can fuck up all :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

Indeed, very impressive. CHMOD is usually the hardest thing to do, in like, ever. And it was just a myth for everyone just a year ago or so. I mean, woah.

-R 777 is the last refuge of the person who doesn't understand permissions or just doesn't give a shit. It's akin to using a nuke to swat a fly.

You can't actually speak "volumes" in less than five minutes. A couple of sentences - sure. Volumes? No.

I never understood the capital R for recursive on chmod, most *nix functions use lower case.

Root for the win.

If this isn't a joke/troll, I'd be happy to answer. The reason is that -r and +r are for setting the bit. For example, you can do chmod +r or chmod -r (or chmod +x, etc) on a file/group of files. The -R is distinct because it's a capital -- it's not a file bit.

Make sense?

So single file only versus recursive? EG: 444 for one file with +r vs a -R recursive command like chmod -R 777 directory.

Amirite?

Not remotely, LOL. +r can be used recursively, i.e.:

chmod -R +r directory/

Or by itself, i.e.:

chmod -r file

Got you, I was only familiar with it to do recursive chmod commands, but here it mentions setting the bits as you stated before: http://faculty.cs.niu.edu/~hutchins/csci241/chmod.htm

Thanks.

Well, setting the bits is the same as setting them numerically. It's just a preference thing. I like to do it numerically, because it's easier to remember 644 than some chain of + and - switches.

Definitely, I had always done it numerically. Learn something new every day.. .

Duh. I don't think n00bs are dumb enough to do that. It was a joke...as in not to be taken seriously. Thanks!

Besides of your problem -
they have the best support in the industry!

I see that a lot of people like Certified Host. I have tried them myself and I absolutely hated it. Either CH has done a 180 or all those people who like them are in for a huge surprise if they ever decide to try a real host like NatNet, MojoHost, Amerinoc,...

I tried their shared plan and it sucked, overloaded/oversold servers.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I didn't come from Certified, but I know that when I personally went to Mojo, it was a HUGE eye-opener about how hosting could and should work. :thumbsup
