I'm a Linux newb and manage a Virtual Private server through GoDaddy. I really wish it was hosted somewhere else, but my client has so much stuff through them...

Anyways, not sure really where to begin but having lots of issues trying to update OpenSSH and OpenSSL. We've only had their service for about 6 months and CentOS 5 should have been installed, but instead it was Fedora 7 along with some old versions software including OpenSSH and OpenSSL. There are quite a few security holes I'm trying to patch up.

Before I tried the script at the start of this Topic, I wanted to know if it's updated or if it is old...

Thanks!
 
Nevermind...kept reading and saw that it had been updated a couple of weeks ago...hopefully it will work for my purposes.
 
Is this still active?
I tried to install it and get an error from my server that it can not resolve the domain where the script is
 
Same problem...

Same problem:
Code:
--2010-02-06 10:03:40--  http://tools.web4host.net/update.script
Resolving tools.web4host.net... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `tools.web4host.net'

Can see the script when I browse there from my desktop machine, but not via wget. wget works for other sources.

try to add google DNS server to your resolv.conf

echo "4.4.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo "4.4.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

it works for me :)
 
i added google dns servers as suggest, but i can't get the script either by wget or from browser either. i have been using this script for a long time without error before this.
 
can someone of us log into your box for a check? Everyone seems to resolve that host correctly

i've been using this script for well over two years without any problems, it's not a problem my end. i can't even access it with a web browser, so there's nothing for you to check on my box. it seems to much of a coincidence that others are suddenly having the same problem.

i just used a dns checking tool and it gave the anser

"Answer from ns1.web4host.net: domain 'tools.web4host.net' not found"

Try to add a fix host in your hosts file with the right ip and check if work

to be honest i'm not too worried, as i can get it to work i just can't update the script, it was more of a heads up for wael.

i am in the uk and i can't access it via my web browser, and my boxes are in the US and they can't get the script with wget. my boxes can ping tools.web4host.net though so not sure what the problem is.
 
dear roly if you feel your server or isp blocked by web for host server,
just send mail to support @ web4host.net with your ip :)
