June 28, 2006 at 9:31 am by TwiRp Such a pain in the…rear?

So... There's this person that I host.
And he uses a bunch of space...
And I had to move to a new location because the old one had too much downtime, and I felt that I should be able to access ftp, my site, and cpanel when I needed to.
Plus, the CPU on the other server was always more than 2, sometimes reaching 87 some mystical way... I'm not sure if it is possible, but that's what cPanel was saying.
So now we're on a server that remains below 1 most of the time, and hopefully I wasn't the problem...
The new WHM has a lot more features because I don't think they limit it as much.
But I do have a few nits-to-pick. Like when I click "Manage Another Account" I can't get back to mine. And the RV Skin admin requires the main account skin to have the RV Skin, which I can't change to...
But other than that, it's really nice, now back to my story...
So I moved over most of the sites.
But there was a problem with a few sites that were large that my computer couldn't handle.
I didn't know what sites they were (okay... I could have known by the disk space the sites were using, but there were only like 3 sites that were over 50 mb of space).
So, I post a message, I moved all the sites, if there is a problem with your's, please contact me [cough]article[/cough].
2 of the three sites contacted me
Someone posted in the forum about problems with their site. Sadly, they didn't tell me what their site was, so it was a game of guess and check.
So I found the site.
This 1 of the three sites thought I deleted some of his files because he requested more space.
He also said that the nameservers don't work and yeah...
I use the nameservers, and they seem to be working...
Oh yeah... domains take 1-2 days to propogate...
So I didn't post any new nameservers, and guess what, his domain works.
So I went and generated a new full backup, ftp-ed it to another computer, unziped it, then ftped it back.
then I took the SQL files and split them into smaller parts, because restoring a 30,224 line SQL file is pretty hard.
So I went ahead and did all of that.
Aren't I so nice...?
But yeah...
This is the same one that kept bugging me about different server configurations.
Most other hostees e-mail me, I'll e-mail them a solution, and it's usually a similar problem.
Well, they had a similar problem, and didn't understand the directions, so I did it for them, and they send me an e-mail saying that they were able to fix the problem no thanks to me.
So yeah...
I was unaware that I was getting paid to provide support or hosting.
So anyways, there's 2 hostees that I want to delete, but I'm afraid of what they'd do.
because one of them spammed my inbox like crazy because I didn't want to host them, and when I did, they became nicer, but whenever there's a problem, it's my fault.
I tell them don't CHMOD anything to 0777, and leave the files alone, but they say in order to install it, it needs to be 0777 but they kept getting errors, and they didn't seem to be listening, so I said I'll install it for them, and I didn't CHMOD it to 0777, and guess what? It installed!
So yeah...
I was reluctant to move their sites, 1 because the file size was over 100 MB (with all the files, and config files, some get really large), and because the people are mean to me.
In my whole 2 years of doing web stuff, and whatnot, I've made a whole $1.27, but there's a small fee to withdraw it...
So I've had to tolerate people like that for $1...?
My brother says delete the sites and mark their e-mails as spam,
But I'd like to be nice and let them keep their sites, but they really are pushing me towards the button.

My dog has also been giving me issues lately (yeah... more ranting :-P )
He wakes up at like 6:20 AM and wants company until his nap around 10:20 AM
So it's been getting really annoying because I like to sleep in till 10:30 AM.
He also doesn't like the rain, and with the past 3 days of rain, he'll scrach at the door to go outside, then make a mistake inside because he doesn't want to get wet.

I'll probably post some pictures of my puppy soon, because he's growing up really fast and he's somewhat smart...
