Why must everything be such a hassle?
Hassle One: My new account with Powweb is totally bolloxed. I was twiddling my dainty thumbs for 2 days waiting for some mess to clear up with how CGI gets enabled for new accounts so that I could get going setting up my dad’s new site just to find out a minute ago that it was enabled improperly.For the record,when a new user signs up a new account with powweb the 1st thing they ought to do is click a little button that enables CGI. Why it isn’t the first thing bang in your face upon activating your new account-I have no idea. It ought to be right there as soon as you login like:
Hello username, would you like to enable CGI on your account so that you might be able to get stuff to work?
Sigh, but that would be too easy. I had to find this out in their community forums…It isn’t top of the list in the knowledgebase,either. It’s also not an easy button to find from the control panel. Whatever.
Hassle Two:The administrator of the domain I need pointed to another nameserver is being…difficult.
I clearly stated what I needed him to do and he wrote me 2x today telling me to “get it together” and send him the info. Which I already had. I gave up getting it transferred to me and just asked him to point it for me. But now that Powweb has decided to poop out I sure hope the domain doesn’t end up pointing toward a website that isn’t set up at all.I have to be able to install WP in order to set things up and I can’t do that until Powweb “gets it together”.Yikes.
So by tomorrow am that website better be working because I am going to have to act super fast to make it ready…if the guy ever does the DNS stuff for me, maybe he’d rather just keep the catty emails coming.
