Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.
Here is a quick little tip on how to remove the "Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration." message from your phpMyAdmin login window on a Fedora 8 Linux Dedicated or maybe even virtual dedicated server at Godaddy.
1. Open a ssh session. Switch to root.
2. Run each line individually (or copy each one and right click on the ssh window (putty)).
yum install libmcrypt
yum install php-mcrypt
yum install php-mhash
I didn't have to restart http but you might want to for grins.
A big nod to wayan on this one, and PS, don't search for GoDaddy images on Google while at work
How do I create a Subdomain in Simple Control Panel?
If you've read the instructions at godaddy.com then why are you at this page? I'll guess, you forgot that one step that always gets me, the Document Root, more specifically the correct way of typing it...
For Server name: y
For Document Root: public_html/y
As for Simple Control Panel, its amazing. I just learned recently that it's a property godaddy offering. If the developers are reading this post maybe they could use the same folder drop-down already in "Manage Backups".
Planet Lotus server update
Some good news, however I'll wait a good month to rule out any DoS suspicions; hopefully it's just the paranoia.
Thank you for contacting Server Support. I understand your server is down after doing a reboot. After reviewing your server it appears that the servers fan went bad. We have replaced the fan and the server is running as normal.
As a result of this, the process of making things more efficient and up-time will continue to be front and center. Much of this is in the way of growing pains; for example the table that tracks hits was 3.3 million rows; this needs to be addressed over time; I have ideas; all of them will take time to implement. In the short term the de-emphasis of certain hit counters will appear, like job postings, how many hits a job posting receives just isn't that important. This theme will continue; but never leave the front page posts
