Hostgator impersonal tech support answers for 503 errors

Hostgator tech support never really address the issue.They usually never tell the customer what really went wrong on their server or why the customers site was down with the 503 error 
503 Service Unavailable
The server is currently unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance).[2] Generally, this is a temporary state. Sometimes, this can be permanent as well on test servers.

There used to be black hat seo now there is black hat social media

Some time ago hate speech on facebook scared me a lot .And i felt that posts on social media could inflame the offline population via rumours. Now there is proof from india that there is indeed a thriving black hat social media industry. I always felt there was many blackhats on facebook by the insane numbers of likes on pages and how social media companies fooled traditional companies into believing likes converted into sales or potential sales Video on youtube

What is PSAD?
PSAD is a collection of three lightweight system daemons (two main daemons and one helper daemon) that run on Linux machines and analyze #iptables log messages to detect port scans and other suspicious traffic. A typical deployment is to run psad on the iptables firewall where it #has #the fastest access to log data.

The Internet : The Fall of the wild west and the rise of the STASI

It is a tale of survival, persistence, and the merging of peoples and cultures that gave birth and continuing life
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_frontier


The Stasi perfected the technique of psychological harassment of perceived enemies known as Zersetzung – a term borrowed from chemistry which literally means "corrosion" or "undermining".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi

I never learnt to program more than the basic ,I was an introvert. The internet in the 1990s allowed me to interact and learn from people all over the world.It alway was a place where people felt they should shout out in frustration and not be persecuted for just letting off steam.

It used to fun to reading internet folk lore from online books

Hafner, Katie; Markoff, John (1991). Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier. New York: Simon & Schuster. ISBN 0-671-68322-5.
Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw (with Tsutomu Shimomura) (1995) ISBN 0-7868-6210-6

But in general the internet was just an awesome place where people across time zones could relax and unwind ,let of steam ,collaborate with others on several project .

This all changed in 2000 .
I guess this had to happen and i feel internet monitoring is the ONLY way to keep citizens safe .
BUT this also killed the internet
After the 2013 revelations no one trusts the major internet companies microsoft,google,yahoo,facebook
Earlier some of these companies used to be considered the protectors of the end user (who assumed these guys had the best security guys on earth to protect the end users online) . this bubble was busted recently.

Most companies shut down their chat rooms and messenger services which really used to connect netziens around the world .
msn messenger shut down
yahoo messenger ? but how many use this these days/
yahoo chat rooms shut down .
google talk shut down replaced by ugly public hangout

^^ best solution

Solution of these errors.
Open file in modules/system/system.install
Find lines 39 and 41.
Change following part of code.


  // Display the currently active install profile, if the site
  // is not running the default install profile.
  $profile = drupal_get_profile();
  if ($profile != 'standard') {
    $info = system_get_info('module', $profile);
    $requirements['install_profile'] = array(
      'title' => $t('Install profile'),
      'value' => $t('%profile_name (%profile-%version)', array(
        '%profile_name' => $info['name'],
        '%profile' => $profile,
        '%version' => $info['version']
      )),
      'severity' => REQUIREMENT_INFO,
      'weight' => -9
    );
  }
}
Change to:

  // Display the currently active install profile, if the site is not running
  // the default install profile and the profile is enabled.
  $profile = drupal_get_profile();
  if ($profile != 'standard') {
  $modules = module_list();
    if (isset($modules[$profile])) {
      $info = system_get_info('module', $profile);
      $requirements['install_profile'] = array(

Your web server does not appear to support PDO (PHP Data Objects). Ask your hosting provider if they support the native PDO extension. See thesystem requirements page for more information.

I am on a host that has no access to the main php.ini file, but they do let you put one in your root dir. I added these lines and was able to have access to PDO and my Drupal install stopped crying!

error 500 magento commerce when trying magento connect

looks like magento is famous for error 500 error . You need to be really good at searching and trying the right solutions to fix this .

so to install a them you need to goto system> magento connect > magento connect manager in the back end
boom! error 500!

1)went to the cpanel file manager
went to the magento install folder
went to the downloader folder
changed the permission of the folder to 755
this changed the permission inside the folder

magento commerce error 500 during installation fix

magento documentation about this error is SHIT !

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/magento_filesystem_permissions

I failed to install it the first time

i found my answer in the magento forums
Please set permission 755 for magento folder and index.php
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/3566/

For some shitty reason index.php is set to 644 by default


Now after you install and you get to the back end you get another scare
You have 1 critical, 4 major, 19 minor and 49 notice unread message(s). Go to messages inbox

php5.cgi permissions

php5.cgi 755
Because of the setup where the user account is the owner of the process running the php cgi, no other user or group needs access, so we disable all access except execution access. This is interesting because it really works. You can try reading the file, writing to the file, etc.. but the only access you have to this file is to run php scripts. And as the owner of the file you can always change the permission modes back again.

Bluehost ‏@bluehost2m

it is not a DDOS attack. System connection issues earlier this morning. Keep in touch for more updates.

Main Stream media and a new form of twitter trolling

In Internet slang, a troll  is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)


In the present scenario the media has become the troll .


Usually trolls on twitter monitor certain keywords and then pounce(reply with venom) on the user who tweeted.

A new form of twitter trolling has emerged in india . Where mainstream media follows a user (usually a celebrity) and then brodcasts the users tweet .Making the tweet controversial or twisting the original meaning . This then brings trolls on the user offline , on main stream media and on twitter. So this takes twitter trolling to another level .

The original users say the tweet was satirical. But the present generation of reporters do not understand or get satire. The next big news is the next big controversy . So they interpret,twist the meaning to get the most virulent reactions. These days tweets by celebs make the juiciest main stream news scoops.

Twitter faces boycott after 'inaction' over rape threats against feminist bank notes campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez

“There has been a deafening silence from Twitter. The accounts of the men who said those things are still active. There needs to be a massive culture shift at Twitter.”

Update above . Looks like i am not the only one who has noticed this scary abuse trend on twitter .



In Internet slang, a troll  is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Due to twitter really difficult block features (you need to go to the other persons profile to use the block feature) . Around the world political trolls have made twitter their new home . Twitter allows tolls to find and target dissenting voice with easy (just monitor keywords ,words on twitter). As twitter is so huge and does not have active monitors like the 1990s forums . The trolls have a great time. In fact twitter (mods,algo?) blocks dissenting voices (the abuse feature is abuse by its users) .The trolls are more vicious ,off topic,ignorant then the forum trolls (you need more tech skills to navigate a forum). Now with the mobile apps any tom dick and harry has can become a twitter trolls with 100s of accounts. Unlike the forum trolls twitter trolls are much more vicious .Unlike 3 years ago , twitter user cannot tweet in peace (you will always have some troll reply to your tweet ). A lot of users have been hurt by the viciousness spewed by the trolls . Intelligent discourse ,the techie meetups online and offline have pretty much stopped and twitter now.

Blocking does not help because someone else in your timeline could retweet the hate speech of the blocked troll . So it is almost impossible to keep out the hate speech form your timeline with twitters current block tools .

Tolls make fake account ,parody account (which do not comply with twitters rules (adding the word parody to the handle). This misleads followers into believing that it is the real person. which can have disastrous consequences ,due to the speed with which people retweet and spread information .



Facebook does not have as many trolls because of its strong block/ hide from timeline tools .
