shared-hosting

I want my site to be indexed in search engines except few sub-directories. Following are my robots.txt settings: robots.txt in the root directory User-agent: * Allow: / Separate robots.txt in the sub-directory (to be excluded) User-agent: * Disallow: / Is it the correct way or the root directory rule will override the sub-directory rule? unor No, this is wrong. You can’t have a robots.txt in a sub-directory. Your robots.txt must be placed in the document root of your host. If you want to disallow crawling of URLs whose paths begin with /foo , use this record in your robots.txt ( http://example

I have a shared hosting on godaddy. I tried to change session save path in php.ini file with this line, sessions.save_path = "/session" I've controlled the sessions save path with sessions.save_path() function. It returns /tmp before and after changing php.ini Is it possible to change session save path on shared hosting? Where am I wrong? Mughil You can modify the session save path on shared hosting by creating a custom php.ini. Include this in your file: session.save_path = "/path/to/your/folder" Otherwise, you can use: ini_set('session.save_path', '/path/to/your/folder') The folder you use

I have process which continuously downloads XML from the feed and saves it to DB . I have a Windows Shared Hosting . My question is what should I use.. WCF or Windows Service or Web Service . I cant use ASP.net because it will run on call only...but I need it run 24/7 . Can you guyz suggest me how to design it? I have written a Windows Service but was unable to run it on the Server. My hosting provider is Hostgator.com You need to do it in a Windows Service. To run it you'll need a VPS hosting (or dedicated, but it will cost much more). Start with building a Console Application that does what

I would like to know if it is possible to install (without using shell - I don't have any permissions to use command line) python packages on a shared host. (Do not ask to change host provider) Also, on that host is installed Python and Django and I would like to install : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt on server. Is that possible? Though this is an old question, I bumped into the same problem. You normally can not install packages for Python easily. There is however a nice solution. Virtualenv creates a local instance of Python, and after installing virtualenv, you can install packages

Is there any way to do a reverse lookup using python, to check the list of websites sharing the same IP address in a shared hosting. Some web sites offer a tool for this purpose . DNSPython Technically, you can use DNSPython to do a reverse lookup. Pip install it $ pip install dnspython Then do your reverse query: >>> from dns import resolver >>> from dns import reversename >>> addr = reversename.from_address("74.125.227.114") >>> resolver.query(addr, "PTR")[0] <DNS IN PTR rdata: dfw06s16-in-f18.1e100.net.> socket.gethostbyaddr You can also use socket.gethostbyaddr >>> import socket >>> name,

After several days of tests I find the only way I can create a WCF web service with authentication is to put a certificate in localmachine/trustedpeople cert store. The host will not do this for me. Do you know any way to enable WCF authentication without putting a cert in that store? Is there any other way to get WCF security working on shared hosting? I have worked with a sample on codeproject that puts certs in app_data, but I haven't been able to get that to work. I did some very simple test on my local IIS. I have very simple service with single method. To expose the service I use this
