Now I'm picturing my Economy package Windows server as a laptop running W2K in some guy's basement. I also didn't realize that webtrees required so much processing power from the server, so I thought the minimum would do. The best rationale I had was - "I'm running on a Windows machine, so I must need a Windows server?". I didn't know why one would choose either Linux or Windows based, and I couldn't find any explanations why the two are offered. Looks like I made a few bad decisions here. This is my first experience with web hosting beyond what Comcast gives me for free with my internet service (all you can do is FTP HTML files), and also my first time installing a web application. However, I'm not sure I'm going to necessarily learn anything from this exercise. This appears to show all the configuration settings. To see the settings, click on: "Show MySQL system variables". Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. Just my humble opinion based on my own experience. Unless you have software that requires it I see no reason to go with a windows server. Then I switched to linux based servers just to see if there was a difference and try something new and I haven't looked back. Having to do a hack or tweak here and there to get things to work the way they should (as you had to recently). I started out years ago trying to run websites on windows based servers and ran into nothing but problems. I learned a long time ago that most website software is designed to run on a linux or unix based system. Probably and more than likely why you had to perform the extra step with the php.ini file just to get the install running and I did not. I think there is a lot of probability that this may be where your problems are. So you're Deluxe on Linux, while I'm Economy on Windows. I know how to access phpmyadmin, just not sure where to look for the current settings once I get there. The domain name being used for that insecure server,, which isn’t an accurate name.My Account => My Products => Web Hosting =>Launch => Databases => MySQL => Manage via phpMyAdmin If you run that address through the SSL Labs tool, the server gets an F grade: When looking at the Technical Details of that issue with Firefox, it states:īroken Encryption (TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, 128 bit keys, TLS 1.0) This site uses an outdated security configuration, which may expose your information (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards) when it is sent to this site. You are warned that “Your connection is not fully secure” and that: If you access that in Google’s Chrome web browser the connection is listed as “Not Secure”: That would be the SSL encryption was “broken” on the server hosting phpMyAdmin. While working on the hacked website, we accessed the phpMyAdmin database administration tool that GoDaddy provided and found a situation we can’t recall seeing before with a web host. We meant to post about that at the time, but then forgot about it until we were dealing with another hacked website with a GoDaddy connection worth posting about. One telling example of the web security industry’s lack of concern for security is how web host GoDaddy has continued to have rather poor security while first being partnered with one web security company, SiteLock, and then owning another one, Sucuri.Īn example of that poor security came up a few months ago while we were dealing with a hacked website where Sucuri had not properly secured the website.
