No go from Godaddy
Posted by BM5k on March 20, 2008 at 07:42 PM
As expected, I received a ‘you’re not important, so we’re not updating our system gems’ message from GoDaddy.
While this sucks, I’ve resorted to plan ‘b’ ship my mini, Hobbes, out to be colocated a little earlier than planned.
I don’t plan on renewing my hosting contract with GoDaddy, and I haven’t since I bought the mini, so I’m not really that upset by their response. The biggest disappointment is not being able to publish my lil weemap app.
WeeWar custom map makers and players will just have to wait a little longer. Hobbes should be online in a week or so.
New Domains

Registered a couple new domains in the last day or so, including feedthedroo.com, for my lil bro & bowermandeliveryservice.com,
my dad’s business.
Who knows, I might actually get my monies worth out of this hosting account after all!
Intermittent Errors

Still having random Application failed to load properly errors. A refresh seems to fix it, but doesn’t give me a warm-fuzzy…
Also, I’m trying to install Beast Forums, and I’m having tons of issues with Godaddy’s DB admin page. Luckilly, it only seems to be affecting new databases.

Continued from Part 1
The Godaddy Config (Step 3)
I created a database & user for the SimpleLog program, and FTP’d the program to a subfolder of my hosting root.
At this point, http://bustikated.net/mysimplelogdir/ was giving me Permission Denied errors & http://bustikated.net/mysimplelogdir/public/ was giving me Bad Request errors.
Using the phpMyAdmin db management on Godaddy’s server, I was able to modify the domain preference in the simplelog db. Trial and error later revealed that /public/ had to be present @ the end of the url, for now I just left it blank.
Also, I had to get the IP address of the server from phpMyAdmin (I couldn’t find a server name).
All of this fixed nothing

I started off at the Simple Log homepage after about a minute and a half of googling Typo alternatives.
My Situation
Since Godaddy doesn’t offer SSH access on its shared hosting accounts, I had to manually configure my install locally, then upload everything. Your process should be similar if you’re also installing without SSH.
