Advertise Your Business: Simple steps to building a website
Aug 20th
Sometimes building your own website can be a very daunting experience – pretty much it’s like building your dream house. We know this because we’ve built several of our own websites and also some for our clients. They came to us because they didn’t know where to begin which is quite understandable for those that don’t know the process. So we thought we’d provide our readers with some simple steps in building websites from start to finish. This doesn’t include creating content or images. Here are the steps:
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.
Which nameservers should I use on a godaddy grid hosting?
Aug 4th
Today I spent half a day trying to migrate a website. We ended purchasing new grid hosting on godaddy for a domain and went a head configuring and setting up everything. The process seemed easy at first – the setup only took a few minutes and then we just waited. The most complex part was to configure DNS and nameservers. You complete this step when you configure the hosting and I thought I completed this section correctly. So I just waited… and it should have been updated within 4 hours but it appeared that the website wasn’t active. We waited for a few hours and then I decided to look into this further. I checked the Account Summary page and noticed that the A record didn’t exist. I found this quite odd. I checked the godaddy help pages to confirm the nameservers and this what was on the page:
July 27, 2009 — Present
ns25.domaincontrol.com
ns26.domaincontrol.com
So obviously I used the above servers since I just signed up for the hosting. I waited for a few more hours and still the site was not alive. Feeling frustrated I knew it had to be a DNS issue. Upon further investigating the issue I noticed that the nameserves configures in the DNS Domain Manager was different to what was on the website help pages. This is what I saw (scroll to the bottom of the DNS Domain Manager):
The solution was simple: I changed the nameservers to ns01.domaincontrol.com and ns02.domaincontrol.com and it worked straightaway. To verify the DNS I used a website called http://www.zoneedit.com – this way I could make sure that my ISP wasn’t the cause of DNS not propagating the change.
