  1. I agree with Tony. I for instance thought I would hardly need support, but in the end, you need it more often than you think. These installers are very good for "less technical" people, even though there are downsides to them. They just offer a good way to easily install a bunch of software without having to fiddle with config files, database passwords, and installations.
  2. I'd like to see Softaculous added. Offers many more scripts than Installatron and I'm not that fond of Installatron either.
  3. I'm not exactly understand what you mean... Could you elaborate, please? Thanks, TwistMyArm, for the excellent guide! Way better than the few notes I have posted.
  4. Does Hawk Host offer Secondary DNS for (cPanel) VPS or should I arrange something myself?
  5. *banging my head against the wall* I tried that, but forgot to remove the slash *banging my head against the wall* Anyway, thanks a lot, it works. That's the one thing missing from cPanels rewrite feature, if you ask me.
  6. If the rewrite would also work for subdirectories and/or other links, it should work very well. The argument against opening those ports is a really valid one, and properly functioning rewrites would definitely solve the issue. of having closed ports.
  7. It doesn, though it doesn't work for subdirectories. I'm not really a mod_rewrite expert and I didn't have time to look it up, but it's not working as expected (not Hawk Host's fault, mind).
  8. Here's a short how-to. Redmine works in the end via the built-in webrick server (DO NOT USE THIS!) but I can't reach it via the 12xxx port (connection times out), so that's something to look in to. It could be solved by rewrites, but I was yet unsuccesfull. 1) Check Ruby and Rails versions: ruby -v rails -v 2) Checkout the matching Redmine version (trunk for Hawk Host) to a directory of your choice (mine was /home/*username*/redmine): svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/ . 3) Create a database in cPanel 4) Edit config/enviroment.rb and comment out the line: RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.3.4' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION 5) Follow steps 3 - 6 from: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall 6) Go to cPanel, 'Ruby on Rails' and press 'Start' 7) You're all set (if ports 12xxx) works. Easy, isn't it? Well, except for the 12xxx ports
  9. Well, the ticket actually was for an IP switch, but thanks for picking it up again there. I assumed it was on my side in the end, since support was out of options, so I was going to try and ask here if anybody else had experienced it. Thanks for solving it, it works fantastic now!
  10. Well, if you want my help, you'll have to report them here I'll definitely try this weekend, perhaps even today.

    Awesome!

    It's an amusing video indeed. It was quite popular at the office yesterday (we share videos, etc. via IRC).
  12. I have tried it and had it working at a Hawk Host shared hosting account, though it was a year back or so. The installation is pretty straight-forward if you have Shell access. There is one thing though in getting the app to run properly from cPanel, but I cannot remember what it was. If you don't do it right there, there's a process that starts taking 100% of one CPU core and you'll have to stop that. Once that's been fixed it works perfectly (without local subversion, that is)! But like I said, this was all over a year ago. Perhaps I'll try again soon and create a how-to, might be useful Edit: it appears to work with external subversion repositories. That, plus it's multi-project feature, gives it a bug plus over Trac from that point of view.
  13. Well, mine's mostly sane. I do go to the office (from 8 AM to 5.30 PM mostly), but my girlfriend has irregular working hours so I tend to follow her sleeping schedule (once I'm awake I can't sleep), so every week I have days I sleep from 10.30 PM to 5.30 AM or from 12 AM to 7 AM. Nothing strange, really, but you do get used to it. In weekends, I hardly ever wake up after 8 AM. I think yours is part of the business you're in, with maintenance windows and all. Can imagine it's hard to fix when it's been over a month.
  14. I believe it's the bank's responsibility to tell their users this rather than Hawk Host's. If my credit card would not work with international transactions I'd like that to the in the card's featurelist.
  15. I've been with Hawk Host for over a year now and I've always been very satisfied. Customer service is really customer service here, and I have never, ever been with such a transparent host. I would thus like to second roadsie en Fowler.
