The best way to quickly turn off the PHP safe mode for a particular virtual hosting service is to have
php_admin_flag safe_mode Off

within VirtualHost directive.

Quick and easy.Remember that some security checks will be automatically disabled if you define Safe_Mode off, but there are situations when some very specific scripts will break and can’t be run when Safe Mode is activated.

I hope this helps you! Enjoy!

Sorry, almost forgot the previous night when I was posting about slowing down Yahoo Slurp, that the same technique applies to MSNBot as well. The only difference is a different name (bot name) User-agent definition.
User-Agent: msnbot
Crawl-Delay: 10

The above 2 lines in robots.txt file will instruct MSN Bot to delay new request by 10 seconds before it requests new file from your domain web site. Now, back to work ! :)

Some people are screaming that Yahoo Slurp is overloading their web site and eating too much resources, including bandwidth.

In order to back off Slurp bot with custom delay between each requests (frequency), you can use robots.txt file and place it in your web site root directory, for example

http://www.lkj.net/robots.txt

The following robots.txt setup will delay Yahoo Slurp bot 30 seconds (atleast) before each new GET query.

User-agent: Slurp
Crawl-delay: 30

Where value 30 is 30 seconds. You can define “Crawl-delay 60” and it will delay 60 seconds between each request from the Yahoo Slurp bot nodes.

However, some… Read the rest of this entry »

Today, I was a bit bored and figured that I could post some information about domain names as well.

I was particulary interested in com and net TLD registration statistics and here is the breakdown:

Registered .COM domain names:
59329934

Registered .NET domain names:
8610974

We will process more statistics in the future, but I would like to note that it takes time due to high number of current registrations. Hopefully soon, we will also perform and collect .org TLD statistics – I will let you know guys shortly.
