Empire Websites

from Stardock Forums
I've managed to register galciv.org - and will host (free!) any empire websites as subdomains on that domain - eg jedirepublic.galciv.org or fotr.galciv.org - no adverts, no popups, plenty of space.

Server is a Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP box (basically RedHat Linux 7.3) with ample bandwidth.

If you are interested, please email me or post here with your email.

Alex, would be interested in hosting the PanGaea site there. We don't take up much space, a few pics, couple of flat html pages and thats it. We are using the JoeUser stuff for our actual articles.

Have emailed you, but if you don't receive it you can email me at mailto:[email protected]

Alex, might I suggest putting a link to this thread at the bottom of the index page so people can easily request hosting if this thread dies off?

Oh, you might also want to change the title to something besides 'My Homepage' ;)

B*gg*r - I knew I'd missed something - I had an HDD die terminally with my master copy on, so had to rebuild from scratch.

Heh heh heh, I noticed the title thing too, but didn't say anything because when I went to our Sith friend already had!

Please note that the DNS servers I use are being a bit erratic at the moment.... the sites are definitely there, but I'm getting server not found errors....

Yeah, I definitely checked out the Pangaea site the other day but its not communicating to us at the moment. Oh well.

Alex how are you doing? I have not seen a post of you in a while.
Reply #116 from Stardock Forums Top
Well - pangaea seems to be back now. I've still not found any problem - perhaps problems with DNS somewhere outside my control!

At last I can see it. As I suspected there are some bugs in my code I have to sort out. Looks like its not finding the style sheet, and the 404 Notfound page isn't displaying. The server is Apache, but are '.htaccess' files enabled? I may have just uploaded it wrong...
Reply #118 from Stardock Forums Top
The answer is that in general .htaccess is not enabled - there are security considerations. However, I've set up an errorpage directive in the main config file for you, and the styles directory hadn't been moved. You'd also called your stylesheet pangaea but were calling kia (I've copied pangaea to kia!) - Try again now!

Okay thanks for that, I didn't expect you to fix it for me! But its nice you did because I wouldn't have had time to look at it for at least another week... ;)

I'm also in the middle of transferring my domain name to a php host from an asp host, so I'm a little new to php stuff. Didn't realise that .htaccess files are a security risk, I've got them all over the place on my own site...

Depends on how they are set up - I will allow them to work (but generally very restrictedly) in subdirs, but basically they can change the settings that determine how the webserver behaves and that IMHO is not a good thing - as a general security rule, you don't let people have any more access than they need, and I'll do that from my end if necessary!

Oh, I see, so from the point of view of my own website, where I am not giving out webspace to anyone else, it is not a security risk for me to use them, but it might be for you on galciv.org where you are giving out sub-domains, because of what the users of those sub-domains might do with them?

It's about the server itself, rather than websites. I have a "dedicated" server that I set up shared websites on.
