    Update to Working Webhosts (Openhost - New Zealand) Link to this post

    Kia ora all,

    Just an update on the known working webhosts list at http://doc.silverstripe.org/suggested-web-hosts#working_webhosts

    I have linux hosting with Openhost in New Zealand. I had a few hiccups to start with but with assistance from DesignCity and AJShort on the #silverstripe IRC channel, they have been ironed out nicely!

    If you get hosting with Openhost, just keep the following in mind...
    1) You will need to email Openhost Support and have them

    • Turn Off PHP Safe Mode (On by default)
    • Turn On mod_rewrite
    • Turn Off mbstring.function_overload

    2) You will also need to create your .htaccess file manually, and saving in ascii format.

    ### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
    <Files *.ss>
       Order deny,allow
       Deny from all
       Allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Files>

    <Files web.config>
       Order deny,allow
       Deny from all
    </Files>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /

       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    </IfModule>
    ### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

    Cheers to DesignCity and AJShort for their help!
    Chur!

    Kia Ora Toherangi!
    Thank you for your great post about Openhost & SS. I have got Openhost to make the changes you suggested but I'm a bit stuck as to how to implement the htaccess file changes. I've changed the file on my local server but how do I do that on the remote server? I'll try to get help from Openhost also.
    Cheers!

    I managed to update and upload the .htaccess file. But I still get this coming up on my site:

    Website Error
    There has been an error
    The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

    hmmm

    Sorry Aioli, are you still having this problem?
    I didn't subscribe to this post so wasn't notified of your response.
