DotNetPanel username restrictions

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Hello Bill,

The only restrictions on username charactesrs are that user name cannot contain any of the following characters:
\ / : * ? ” |
As for username size, it cuts off whatever you put in the username box at 50 characters.

And the username of your reseller account cannot be changed after accounts are created underneath it. Unless we make a new account for you but then you wouldn’t have any accounts or settings that you originally had.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

I have found the problem on video processing. It was in the cron job in event anyone else asks similar question in future. It was set to process at midnight. However, I need to know your recommendation. I have it currently set to process every minute in cron. I do not think this is a real good policy to do this. What is your recommendation?

It is currently set as follows”

Using Expressions to Publish - watch out for stupid www

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Microsoft did it again:

When using Expressions, after ensuring Frontpage Extensions is enabled, if theres something wrong, maybe about “Authentication” and “Authentication Headers” , make sure you are using “www” in the url in the properties. So http://www.microsoftisstupid.com not http://thiswouldmakemoresense.com .

DNS Service Failing on Windows 2008 IIS

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

If user’s DNS is pointing to our server(even if they are custom dns) and the name servers being used ping to the server, then check this on windows:

Go into “services” in Manager:

Find DNS Service, try restarting it. If it fails, go to bind2/etc/named.conf and cut the entire thing except the top main ones that are related to the main server and “options”

and paste into another document. Then try to restart DNS service again. If it works, then you know something in named.conf is causing problems. Undo your cut, so its back to original, then start cutting large chunks, restarting DNS, and seeing if cutting that chunk did it. In this way, isolate the conf entry that is causing problems and remove it.

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Hello Frank,

Here are the steps I took to accomplish this:
1) created subdomain dnn5.matthewfalzon.com
2) created a website for it
3) went into its website settings
4) on the first page of the settings the “Home Folder” tab, under “Folder in your Hosting Space” make sure its checked and I put in “\matthewfalzon.com\wwwroot\DNN51″.

Take a look. Let us know if you have any further questions.
