• For cPanel Shared hosting customers Host.co.in’s shared servers come with pre-installed firewall which is reliable and up to the mark when compared to industry standards.
• For VPS Hosting customers, no hardware firewall can be installed as the VPS server hardware is shared virtually by more than one individual, but still you can choose any software firewall of your own choice.
• Dedicated Server Hosting customers have the full freedom to choose and customize firewall option according to their own choice.

‘.jsp’ is widely used format for webpages but sometimes your web hosting server does not support it and as a result a .jsp page is unable to produce a proper appearance of webpage and it shows some sort of coding, So following are some changes you need to perform so that your website an display .jsp pages as normal webpages.

root@server[~]#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Now search domain name and remove comment attribute from the following line.

Include “/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/username/domainname/*.conf”

Make sure your save before exit

root@server[~]# cd /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/
root@server[~]# mkdir username
root@server[~]# cd username
root@server[~]# mkdir domainname
root@server[~]# cd domainname
root@server[~]# vi cp_jkmount.conf

Now find the file ‘cp_jkmount.conf.’ in which you need to insert the following code.

<IfModule mod_jk.c>
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
JkMount /*.do ajp13
</IfModule>

Now you need to verify the entry in tomcat configuration file.

root@server[~]# vi /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml

After checking the entry you need to insert the following code in the same file.

<Host name=”domainname” appBase=”/home/username/public_html”>
<Alias>www.domainname</Alias>
<Context path=”" reloadable=”true” docBase=”/home/username/public_html” debug=”1″/>
<Context path=”/manager” debug=”0″ privileged=”true”
docBase=”/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager”>
</Context>
</Host>

Make sure you Save the file before you exit and now restart the tomcat.

root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./shutdown.sh
root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./startup.sh
root@server[~]# /scripts/restartsrv tomcat

And now restart the httpd service

root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd stop
root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd startssl

If you are a webmaster using cPanel Hosting which comes with cheap web hosting plans, then it’s an easy task to move files and folder from one directory to another. You just need to follow the following instructions.

4. Document Root for (For Exchanging Data among sub-domains created on a main domain)

• You need to select the appropriate option to find the destination of file or folder you need to move from and click ‘Go button. (’Home Directory’ contains all the sub-directories so you need to follow longer path if your went through it)
• After reaching to your destination file or folder you can find all editing options at the top of the window including ‘New File’ ‘New Folder’, ‘Copy’, ‘Move File’, ‘Upload’, ‘‘Download’, ‘Delete’ etc.
• As you want to move the File, you first select it and click on ‘Move File’ now it will ask you the destination folder where you want to move the file, just provide it and click on ‘Move File(s)’ button.

There are certain key elements which should be taken in to consideration while your move your website from current web hosting services provider to another.

• Unlock you Authorization Code. (What is Authorization Code?)
• Take backup of all files, emails, databases.
• Remember all the settings you have on your old hosting account to keep them unchanged at the new web hosting services provider.
• Checkout for all operations after you uploaded it at your new web hosting account.
• Newly set up all your previous email accounts on your domain and make sure they all are sending and receiving email as usual.
• After uploading your backed up data safely and checking all the operations successfully you can update your nameserver from your domain to point to ns1, ns2, ns3 and ns4.yourdomain.com

Generally your website and your emails are expected start resolving in the next 24 hours, if it happens then you need not worry and you have successfully transferred your website successfully from your old web hosting provider to new.

When you transfer your website to a new web hosting services provider they ask you for ‘Authorization Code’. It’s a Unique 6 to 32 character lone code which is specially created to prevent any unsecured or unauthorized transfers of website. This ‘Authorization Code’ provides a security feature as it works as an unique Pin for your website (domain name) and it certifies that person who is demanding the transfer of domain is the real owner of that particular website. This code can be found in the control panel of that website. With the help of the ‘Authorization Code’ you can also lock your website and prevent any attempt of transformation without your authority. When you want to transfer it they you can unlock it.

After setting up a MySQL user’s account and after Setting up the PHP / MySQL Site Definition in Dreamweaver now we are going to have a look at the process to create a MySQL database connection with Dreamweaver. After finishing the defining part you should approach the following MySQL connection dialog box in Dreamweaver.

Connection Name: choose your desired name
MySQL Server: mysql.host.co.in
User Name: Your Username (i.e. Admin)
Password: *********
Database: Here you can directly enter the name of your database or select it from the list displayed of MySQL databases which currently exist on the server.

Note: It’s necessary for the MySQL Server field to enter localhost if PHP and MySQL are running on the same machine.

In a few circumstances you may have to connect the MySQL Database from the local machine to web hosting server, following is the script you can use for the same. Remember you need to have the following information with you

1. Database URL and
2. Java applet – ‘com.mysql.jdbc.Driver’ – to connect it.

Now you can use the following script to connect MySQL database which is hosted remotely.

<!- Database connection settings ->
<property name=”connection.driver_class”>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name=”connection.url”>jdbc:mysql://localhost[serverIP ]/database_name</property>
<property name=”connection.username”>databses_user</property>
<property name=”connection.password”>password</property>
<!- configuration pool via c3p0->

In previous post we saw how to change MySQL password using mysqladmin command at shell prompt. But there is another way to do it by updating the MySQL database.  As usernames and passwords are stored in a user table in MySQL database so you can directly change password of any user by following the below given method.
First you need to login into MySQL server and type the following command

$ mysql -u root -p

For using MySQL database you need to type the following command

mysql> use mysql;

Suppose that you want to change password of a user having username ‘XYZ’, then type the following command

mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD(“NEWPASSWORD”) where User=’XYZ’;

After doing these changes it’s recommended to reload privileges before you quit so type the following command.

mysql> flush privileges;

Now to exit MySQL use following command

mysql> quit

Changing password is quiet a regular type of task for many webmasters and the same is also applicable to database administrators also. Here I would like to share the procedure of changing the password of MySQL. Root user is the admin of a MySQL account. Remember that it is different than login to root account of a Linux hosting server.
If it’s your first time you are facing the question ‘How to change MySQL password?’ then the server will not require any password at all to connect as root. You will have to use mysqladmin command at shell prompt as shown following.

$ mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

If you have your old password set and want to change it then you will have to use a different following command.

$ mysqladmin -u root -p oldpassword newpass
Enter password:

If you want to change the password of a normal user then again the command is different for that as following.

$ mysqladmin -u user -p oldpassword newpass
$ mysqladmin –user=root –password=’old_password’ password ‘new_password’

cPanel by default comes with the inbuilt scripts, which has the ability to backup or restore your cPanel account. Following are the commands given to run these scripts.
Following is the command which creates the backup of a cPanel account.
/scripts/pkgacct
Following is the command which restores the taken backup
/scripts/restorepkg
Both these commands should be run as root and while restoring a backup you also need to take care to be in the same directory in which the backup is stored.
