.htaccess for Dreamhost users

If any of you it’s currently using Dreamhost as Hosting provider, since yesterday they had made some modificataions deprecating “Options +FollowSymlinks”.

This means your site will return an 500 Error.

After talking to the support for more than 1 hour they admitted they have made changes in the policies and now we should use “Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch” instead.

Pretty bad communication from them and making this changes without noticing them.

If you are affected by this issue, please your .htaccess for Open Classifieds should look like this to get to work:

ErrorDocument 404 /
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/(.+) index.php?category=$1
RewriteRule ^offer/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=0
RewriteRule ^need/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=1
RewriteRule ^type/(.+) index.php?type=$1
RewriteRule ^publish-a-new-ad-for-free/ new/index.php
RewriteRule ^contact/ contact/index.php
RewriteRule ^privacy-policy/ privacy/index.php
RewriteRule ^sitemap/ sitemap/index.php
RewriteRule ^advanced-search/ search/index.php
RewriteRule ^map/ map/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ item.php?item=$1&type=$2&category=$3&title=$4
</IfModule>

Remember that needs to be in your language.

This would be fixed for Open Classifieds 1.6.1 that is coming soon with few improvements to make your life easier.

I’m getting pretty annoyed by this hosting, since I use a Privvate Server and this things should never happen (as this other one http://j.mp/d8WVXY).

Browser support for IE 6 is dead

I hate IE6 as many of you do. Long a go I’ve decided that my scripts are not going to be tested in ie6 anymore.

Few webpages they are not longer supporting ie6 and are recommending to change it, to use other browser. But now the giant the “Big Boss” Google is doing one step further to say bye to IE6.

They sent me this email yesterday that I absolutely aprove!

Migration to a dedicated server

Last weeks I’m having more visitors than normal in all my sites, around 6.000 unique visitors per day.

This shared hosting can’t handle it at all…then I have  just hired a dedicated server.

Maybe you see that I’m not posting or that there’s not activity around here, but trust me there’s…a lot!

All the services are affected by this, like:

neo22s.com, forum.neo22s.com, open-classifieds.com, deambulando.com ……. and 16 more…

Please some patience, thanks ;)
