Is there anybody who's using Servage.net as a host provider? I have some problems with them (my site is not sending every email) I need some tricks from people who use Servage.net

Yes I have also noticed a problem with servage at the moment. I got an email from them yesterday saying they were under a heavy DOS attack. Currently my drupal site on servage isn't persisting any session when I log in. That means each page I click to I have to re-log in. Something to do with cookies? Have you sent them an email? I find their response time is excellent.

I also got the email about DDoS attack, but that isn't the problem which a have on my site. My site is not sending register emails and that's the problem.

I your case probably you need to change in sites/default/settings.php

line:

$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

for:

$db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasename';

that help in mine case when I had the same problem as you, good luck and write back if that will help.

Yes that solved my problem. The weird thing it is was working last week no problem. I wonder why I needed to use mysqli instead of mysql this week and not last.

All I have read so far is "The mysqli extension allows you to access the functionality provided by MySQL 4.1 and above. More information about the MySQL Database server can be found at http://www.mysql.com/"

Sorry I haven't solved your problem :-)

I solved my problem with sending mail, It's needed to add some lines to .htaccess and settings.php and it works like a dream :)

I also solved a problem with cronjob which can run just once a day at servage.net, right now my cron.php suns every 15 minutes :)

If you will need some help with your account at servage.net let me know, will try to help:)

peace!

hi,

I'm using quite simple way to run cron job. I use a program which run from other server than servage (can run from your localhost) open cron.php every 15 minutes. I think thats the only way to run cron job. If you want i can send you my program.

Can you tell me how you over came the problems using mail() function using Servage as I am also having problems where the email sometimes gets sent and at other times does not?

Hello I also got a running drupal 5.2 with mysql 5 server at servage.net. I got a lot of mysql run away, and sometimes mysql connection lost errors. What have you changes in .htaccess and settings.php to get it to work! Do somebody else got the same problem... support just say that everything is fine.

I may have a similar problem (on servage). Never checked whether long page load times were due to failing db connections, as the connection time (of devel module) always gives times under 500ms.
But indeed maybe he only prints non-failed connections. Though, the log says nothing abtout his, my average page load time is about 4 to 5s, which is too high. Some peaks of 48s and 16s worry me sick!
