Restrict Access to Addon Domains
I run several websites on a single hosting plan. While some web developers do this to save money, I did this to save time. When you have all your hosted sites under one cPanel account(or in the same HTTP folder), it is easy to manage them. One problem you need to resolve is that add-on domain databases can be access through the primary domain. It can be fixed by adding a code to our good old .htaccess file in the sub-domain directory that host the files for the primary domain. The .htaccess file in each and every directory of the site must be edited(not the admin folders of CMSes) to include this code. Continue reading Restrict Access to Addon Domains
HTTP Status Code Definitions Explained
I ran in to into Error 500 issue about a week ago as soon as I tried to edit the .htaccess file on the server. I was blindsided because I had no clue what Error 500 stand for and the hosting service support team was useless because they told me that my name servers are out of order. After 24 hours wait time for DNS propagation, the site was still off line. So I decided to do my own little investigation. What I found was that Error 500 is caused by a programming error I made on the .htaccess file! I went to Continue reading HTTP Status Code Definitions Explained
Deleting files over a network
I just ran in to a huge problem. I accidentally deleted a documentary file over the network. The network drive was mapped to my computer and the folder was located on the server hard drives. No matter what back up I had, I deleted the entire documentary by mistake on the network drive and now I can’t find it anyway. This is a huge overlook that still we face in share folders in Microsoft Windows environment. I don’t know Continue reading Deleting files over a network
How to delete a Remote Desktop Connection entry
There is no option in the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) application to delete/remove successful previous RDP connection IP or hostnames from its “Computer” box. I believe this is an omission by the Microsoft development teams that has yet to be “fixed”. In fact, I had no clue how to do this up until recently I had to log in to my server from a public school computer to modify some files. Even after you log out and select delete profile from the RDC, it will still show up in the Connections drop down next time someone open it. This is a problem because if a user with wrong intent to attack your computer or server open the RDC, it will provide them with half of the solution to hack your system, the IP or domain name!
If you try Google search to find an answer to this issue, you will quickly come across Microsoft KB article here, which is more complicated than useful to most users. I have no idea why a great user friendly software company like Microsoft doesn’t explain well on their help sites on registry editing for intermediate to advance users. May be because they don’t want novice users to pick up that information from their site and damage the OS in the process of regedit. Would you rather have a video tutorial? Please watch the YouTube video here.
