June: month of fail for me

It looks as my online existence was on the peek of doom this month…

At first, my last Hosting Service was hacked and malicious iframes were injected in the website.

Later on, one of my twitter accounts (I’ve got two accounts) was suspended because I had a link to my infected blog.

The current hosting service I use had a hardware failure and a part of my blogs content is gone, RIP.

Apache failed a series of times to work this last week. And I’ve noticed this happens due to cold reboots. Other webservers I tried did not seem to fail in that aspect, but weren’t able to register properly PHP $_SERVER variables, so CodeIgniter wouldn’t work on them.

Actually I could have made CI to work, but I want it to work OOTB (out of the box).

SFTP under Centos/CPanel doesn’t support officialy chroot (if you have set up a similar environment feedback is welcome) so I could browse the root directory of my current hosting service, and had access to more than 100 databases. Problem was fixed by disabling SFTP and now I’m stuck with FTPES, which doesn’t support transfer resume… talk about responsive disclosure.

Posting this, doing a database backup and looking forward for more fail until the end of the month.

p.s. It must be due to my low karma on reddit.
