View Full Version : PHP script works on Dedicated IP and not Shared IP...Huh?

Hi all,

I recently had a script developed that for some odd reason only
works on a dedicated IP and not on a shared IP and neither I
or the programmer can figure out why.

I thought I would ask here and see if anyone might have an
idea why this would be happening?

About the script...fairly simple....needs wildcard DNS to be
enabled and pulls some data from a mysql database. The
database function works just fine.

Any ideas, wacky or not, im willing to consider. IP's are getting
expensive so Id love to figure this out.

Thanks,
Travis

Without having access to the script it's hard to tell...

tamasrepus,

Would you say its more likely to be the host or the script? Or is
it simply to hard to tell without having access to both?

Thanks,
Travis

It is more likely the script, but obvious is still difficult to tell. Try running the script on a different host?

well check first with the host
I know that in hsphere if you try to get wildcard domain on a share IP it will not work, well mod_rewrite dont work on a shared one, you need a dedicate IP, so I assume you got the same problem that mine
