PHP session lost after redirect

How do I resolve the problem of losing a session after a redirect in PHP?

Recently, I encountered a very common problem of losing session after redirect. And after searching through this website I can still find no solution (although this came the closest). But now that I have, I thought I'd post an answer here to help anyone experiencing the same problem.

How to use prettify with blogger/blogspot?

I'm using blogger.com to host some texts on programming, and I'd like to use prettify (same as stackoverflow) to nicely colour the code samples.

How do I install the prettify scripts into the blog domain?
Would it be better (if indeed its possible) to link to a shared copy somewhere?
I have webspace on a different domain. Would that help?

Many thanks.

Why node.js can't run on shared hosting? [closed]

First thing: I searched all of the known web hosting companies for shared hosting of nodejs but I didn't find anyone. Then I came to know that nodejs cannot run on a shared host system. I want to know why?

Second thing: I am a normal guy with a normal budget. Choosing a vps or deicated server or cloud hosting makes the node run, but its out of my pocket money range as compared to the PHP shared hosting services, so should I learn node.js?

CouchDB on Windows?

I started exploring CouchDB and I am interested in following:

1. Is there or will there be a Windows install?
2. If there is, is there a shared hosting provider that offers CouchDB?
3. Not knowing much about it, can it be somehow embedded in my application or bin deployed (don't laugh).

PHP: Using browscap.ini on shared host. - ini_set() failing

I'm trying to use get_browser() , unfortunately my page is on a shared host, and I have no access to php.ini.

I have downloaded the latest version of browscap.ini and placed in my document root. I have then added the following:-

if (!ini_set('browscap', '/home/private stuff/browscap.ini')) {
echo "Failed to set browscap";
} else {
echo "browscap = [" . ini_get('browscap') . "]";
}
exit();

But this fails, (nb: the echo statement for the failed condition always shows [] - even if I didn;t have the browscap.ini file the setting should still show up in the ini_get.... shouldn't it?)

I have looked at the previous questions on this and they don't seem to help, any ideas?

How to fix error ::Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0::

I lost exactly 24 hours on some stupid connection string error and I can't find any solution.
I saw that there are few questions like this and I try them all but can't find solution.
I uploaded my site on godaddy shared host.
I can access this database from my management studio.
I can't access this database from my site. I get following error:

Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0

My connection string is in web.config and it looks like this:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="mcn" connectionString="Data Source=mydatabase.db.8706856.hostedresource.com; Initial Catalog=mydatabase; User ID=username; Password=xyz;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />    
  </connectionStrings>

What cause this error? I have no idea what to try anymore :(
I have also tried to write ...Data Source=(local);...

How Much Traffic Can Shared Web Hosting Take? [closed]

I have a cheap shared hosting plan with Reliablesite.net ($5/month).

I've been making a small site I want to start promoting in a few weeks and I was going to roadtest it by hosting it with the shared plan I already have.

My issue is that I don't know at what point I should move onto clustered hosting / dedicated hosting.

Questions

• What pageviews / day can a shared hosting plan be expected to handle?
• What can standard shared database servers take without choking up or me getting rude emails from my hosting provider?

Does Hostmonster support Django

I know Hostmonster allows Python. Has anyone successfully run Django on there? Any problems?

Deploy Laravel 5 using only FTP in a shared hosting

I need to deploy a laravel 5 project to a client host.

The plan of my client is basic hosting: Linux + MySql without cpanel or similar (i.e. no admin panel).

I have access only via ftp and only to a folder named www.mycustomerweb.com. It means I can not create a directory at the same level of www.mycustomerweb.com folder. Only inside it (I think it is called shared hosting).

One year ago, I deployed a project made with Laravel 4 this way:

1. got rid of public folder moving its content to root folder and updating index.php and bootstrap.php
2. finished whole project in localhost (with Xampp)
3. uploaded all files to www.myclientweb.com via ftp.

My questions are:

1. Did I do everything all right with laravel 4 project? May I have fallen into security issues (I mean, is the site safe)?

2. How do I deploy a laravel 5 project to the same site? In Laravel 5 I can not get rid of public folder as I did with Laravel 4.

Right now, I have set up a fresh installation of Laravel 5 on localhost and then I have uploaded all files to www.myclientweb.com folder via ftp:

• I can see wellcoming page of laravel at http://www.myclientweb.com/public.
• I can not see anything at http://www.myclientweb.com/
• And also I CAN SEE .env CONTENT AT http://www.myclientweb.com/.env ???????

Surely this is not the right way...

I've had a long searching through the web and Stackoverflow with no luck.

Really apprecite any help.

Thanks for reading.

How to use getenv() in php and SetEnv in a .htaccess with a compiled php-cgi on a shared host

Just putting in context to clarify the main question:

On my development machine, PHP5.3.1 is installed on Apache as a module, I use SetEnv APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT development in my application's root .htaccess file. It is then easily retrievable from any php script with getenv('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT').

On the production server, on a sharedhost (dreamhost), I compiled myself php5.3.1 since it was not directly supported. Everything works fine except that getenv('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT') returns false.

In the sharedhost root .htaccess for my domain, I use this .htaccess file

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler php-cgi .php
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php.cgi

<FilesMatch "^php5?\.(ini|cgi)$">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from All
    Allow from env=REDIRECT_STATUS
</FilesMatch>

Options -indexes

php5.cgi resides in /cgi-bin and works very well. Of course in my application's root folder I have another .htaccess defining:

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT production

But when using getenv('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT') it returns false, any idea how to resolve this?

Hesitating between git and fossil

Newbie to Fossil (or any other version control system) here. Used a proprietary one earlier, but never set one up myself.

Currently, I am looking to set one up so that my friends and I can use it for a project.

I chose Fossil primarily because distributed seems to be the way to go, it seems lightweight and has an included bugtracker. But Git seems to be the favoured SCM for a lot of people. Is it worth the added complexity to favour Git+someBugTracker over Fossil? Are there any better alternatives? I will have to start from 0 on all.

How to deploy Symfony2 on a shared-hosting?

I want to access my symfony app in production env (http://www.sample.com/amateur1/web/app.php) from this url http://www.sample.com/amateur1.

To do that I moved the .htacces file to http://www.sample.com/amateur1/.htaccess with this contents:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /web/

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

But when I go to http://www.sample.com/amateur1 shows a 404 Error, and prod.log isn't written.

I also used RewriteBase /amateur1/web/ because I don't know If RewriteBase path is relative to the DocumentRoot of the server, Or from the path where the .htaccess file is located. Also tried /amateur1 and /amateur1/ as RewriteBase due to this answer Symfony2: How to deploy in subdirectory (Apache)

With the three try's, The Exceptions page appears unstyled, and not loading any image. But then I get the following error in prod.log file:

[2013-02-15 02:06:47] request.ERROR: Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException: No route found for "GET /amateur1/" (uncaught exception) at /home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1/app/cache/prod/classes.php line 5121 [] []

What I'm doing wrong ?

How to set the default website page through htaccess?

I am currently setting up a website from a client on his hosting account. The website address and for some reason doesn't default to .php files (that is: index.php). If I put index.php and there is no index.html file I receive the following error:

If you feel you have reached this page in error, please contact the web site owner: someemail@example.com If you are the web site owner, it is possible you have reached this page because: The IP address has changed. There has been a server misconfiguration. The site may have been moved to a different server. If you are the owner of this website and were not expecting to see this page, please contact your hosting provider.

His hosting is a shared hosting on cpanel.

Clearscript files cannot be found on host

Like a lot of others I'm receiving the following error when deploying my ASP.Net MVC application:

Cannot load V8 interface assembly; verify that the following files are installed with your application: ClearScriptV8-32.dll, ClearScriptV8-64.dll, v8-ia32.dll, v8-x64.dll

Clearscript was installed as part of an effort to transform less files on the fly for page requests.

I have tested my application locally in ISS Express and ISS without a hitch.

As suggested here http://clearscript3.rssing.com/chan-14849437/all_p12.html I've also included the missing code libraries as resources to my project.

ClearScriptV8-32.dll, ClearScriptV8-64.dll, v8-ia32.dll, v8-x64.dll are all included in a folder ClearScript.V8 in the bin folder. Removing this folder does not resolve the issue.

At my wits end. Any help is appreciated.

The handle is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070006 (E_HANDLE))

I have a website in an IIS 7 shared hosting environment. It's running .NET 3.5. I have a download button to download a file from the server.

When I locally deploy this application to IIS 6, it runs fine. On the IIS 7 shared hosting server, the exception occurs.

The handle is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070006 (E_HANDLE)) Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

How can this be solved?

string strRequest = Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString.Get("file"));
System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(strRequest);
if (file.Exists)
{
    Response.Clear();
    Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(System.IO.Path.GetExtension(file.Name));
    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.Name);
    Response.TransmitFile(strRequest);
    Response.End();
    HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
    //DownloadFile(file.FullName, file.Name);
}
