You might be in a shared hosting plan and most hosting providers allow CPU usage only to a certain level. Be careful that many wordpress themes (including commercial ones) i have seen can take more CPU power. If that is the case the hosting provider may suspend your account. I had a situation with bluehost where you are allowed to use only 40% of CPU in a 140 sec window. If your site consumes more than 40% of cpu with …

Here is how to change the title of forum main page.

Vbulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > FORUMHOME

i recently faced a real problem because of this. I decided to move from bluehost because my site kept receiving “cpu exceeded error” page frequently. I moved to a new dedicated server host running cpanel. I did a SCP cpanel account restore and very strangely, when i type my domain in my browser i again see, “cpu exceeded error”. It kept redirecting to blue host cpu exceeded page. That too in my new dedicated server.

It was very weird until i …

Crysis Warhead and Farcry 2 both recent releases in PC version of the games this month and you might be wondering which one to buy? or which is the best among the two.

PHPMyAdmin will not work for uploading large mysql databases. If you attempt to upload a large mysql dataset you will often get this error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded

Fix:

If you get this error you will need edit config.default.php inside phpmyadmin and look for this line

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 300;

and replace with 0 or any larger value

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 3600;

If that doesnt work, try this BigDump MySQL Importer. It is free for download.

If you have commandline …

If you are a PHP programmer and if you are using regular expressions with ereg_replace then often with replacing particular characters you might encounter error like

Warning: ereg_replace(): REG_BADRPT

Here is a simple function that causes this error

function OrigURL($str)
{
$out = ereg_replace(‘+’,’ ‘,$str);

$out = ereg_replace(‘\+’,’ ‘,$str);

I was working on a mysql search script with paging where i had to pass the same GET parameters to page numbers like

search.php?q=what+europe+scripts&page=1

I used $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] to get the GET parameters. But the problem i got was when i was in page 2 it would show query string like

search.php?q=what+europe+scripts&page=1&page=2

and if i am in page 5, it would show like

search.php?q=what+europe+scripts&page=1&page=2&page=3&page=4&page=5

This is an unwanted problem and i wanted to strip/remove only the page variable.

If you are in such a situation here is …
