Re: all my Mocha-hosted sites are down

Glad you explained about the various version numbers of ASP.NET, because I was just about totally lost on that issue.

I don't really blame the host; the host seems pretty awesome compared to Mocha; heck, GoDaddy would probably seem awesome after Mocha. cheeky  Mostly I blame 1) me, for being so dang ASP-ignorant, and 2) the old "feces-occurs" phenomenon; I'm thinking upload error is a good possibility, or as I said, something happened to the extracted files here before they got uploaded, or who knows, maybe I used a 4.0 web.config when I should have used a 3.5. 

At the moment I'm in the process of going ahead and getting everything back onto mojo.crypticsites.net, exactly as it was.  It's not really such a horrible idea to re-create the site, if I'm going to be relocating it to a different domain; I need to go over each of the skins I've made anyway, to make sure they all still look good with the new version of mojo, and to add the various bits that have been added since I made them, which was circa version 2.3.4.3.  Of course page-creation is a snap in mojo (which is just one reason I why I love it so much!), so getting even that many pages added isn't that onerous a task.

Re: all my Mocha-hosted sites are down

I'm thrilled to say that my skins site, http://mojo.crypticsites.net, is back, at that location, exactly as it was at the old host -- but loads faster, I'm delighted to find.

I will be a) relocating it to the main crypticsites.net URL rather than the subdomain, and b) upgrading the site to 2.3.5.5, and c) upgrading all the skins for the newer version(s) as well (though it seems they don't really break, just look a bit odd in some cases) -- but I will be doing all that off-stage, as it were, now that I have the original site back online in original condition; eventually I'll announce the URL change and put in a timed redirect to send folks to the new URL, but at least now, THANK GOD, anyone seeking skins will not be met with an error page.

Rick, I left a comment on the your blog video page, about the permissions -- about the "NETWORK SERVICES" entry...

Thx y'all!!

Re: all my Mocha-hosted sites are down

Hi Andria

Thanks for the comments on my Arvixe Blogs.  RE: your comment on user NETWORK SERVICES.

On personal PC's, laptops and some Hosting companies, the user NETWORK SERVICES may be the IIS application pool user and we would then need that user to have or not have read and write access to folders and files.  However, on Arvixe hosting they do it different and make the IIS application pool user name the same name as your Web Site. 

So for example on my www.hubka.com Web Site the IIS application pool user name is hubka.com.  So that is the user I give read and write permissions to.

I don't know why it is there, but when setting folder permissions on your Arvixe hosting package you will see a user called NETWORK SERVICES listed also.  For permissions on mojoPortal, just ignore this user.

Hope this helps.

Rick

Re: all my Mocha-hosted sites are down

Ok, thanks Rick, I wondered about that, because I think I saw some docs somewhere that said the Network Services thing should be enabled, but it does make more sense to have that user be the name of the website.

Not sure what's happening tonight; maybe a weather thing?  Seeing some really spotty performance, some time-outs and slow-downs; it's pretty bad at my sites (on Arvixe) but Ive also seen it when I loaded the Commission Junction website -- and didn't see it when I came to this site.  Our weather around here is like freaking Canada at the moment, and we're about 1000 miles south of Canada, so we're all freaking out and freezing to death.  The wind is ungodly, which might be playing hell with various connections in various places -- for instance, the cable line from the street got whacked with an enormous pine bough today, in this horrible wind, so who knows if that did any damage.  Not sure; my son is not having any problem playing WoW, but I'm seeing it, now and then, on both www and FTP.  Anyone else having any internet connection woes tonight?  I'm sure the bad weather is not confined to Atlanta and environs.

I just can't seem to win... ;)
