Solution: Images not appearing in Magento for both Backend and Frontend
Aug 8th
This one took me several days to resolve. The issue was that we migrated our magento website from the godaddy shared hosting account to the godaddy grid hosting and images were not appearing both on the backend and frontend system.
I searched high and low and there we many many suggestions that I could find on the internet. I even asked godaddy to see whether there was anything on the server that was causing the problem as I was certain that it was their problem especially when it was previously working on the old hosting account. In terms of configuration nothing was changed. They claimed that it was a configuration setting or a permissions problem. I almost gave up but I thought about this for a while and was determined to fix the problem.
My solution was to rename the .htaccess file to .htaccess.old or even delete this file that is located in /media/
I hope this fixes your problem as well.
Downtime on our Email Hosting
Jan 10th
Yesterday our email system was down for almost the whole day and sometimes we forget to realise how dependant we are on technology. To give you a brief summary of what happened, we recently upgraded our hosting account from IIS6 to IIS7. Normally the process is very straight forward and should only take 24 hours. Well our one took almost 4 days with constant follow ups and it was eventually completed. But yesterday I received an email from donotreply@blackberry.com on my blackberry with the title “Action required: update password!”. I initially thought it was spam but reading through the instructions it seemed legitimate. I tried logging into my Blackberry Internet Service account by using the email setup application on the blackberry but I somehow forgot what my username and password was.
