    It was pretty burned but between Watching the pan, the beans and bacon and making a coffee... :P

    I should cook more rather than ordering from Just-eat.

    @GetKVM_Ash said: Ideally, you learn before you start offering the service. I wouldn't perform open heart surgery without going to medical school first.

    I completely agree with this ...

    @NHRoel This still isn't fixed and a link to myself is not helpful. I've done everything in the guides but it is still not working.

  • @shovenose said: @NHRoel This still isn't fixed and a link to myself is not helpful. I've done everything in the guides but it is still not working.

    Then you didn't do everything in the 'guides'.

  • @shovenose Let us know what you've done so far, and we may be able to help you from there.

  • @shovenose - I normally keep to myself and try to avoid meddling in other hosts business, but in this case I have to speak up: SELL YOUR COMPANY NOW AND LEAVE

    You have absolutely no idea what your doing and can't even be bothered to google your problem. I could understand if you came here and posted what you had already tried asking for help, but you honestly did nothing and expected us to do the work for you.

    @BlueVM yes, you're right, get the fuck out of my thread. I'm not selling anything and I'm not going anywhere. Maybe you're worried that I can compete with you and take away customers from you? My recent LowEndBox listing was very successful, I have approx. 120 customers now and that's still growing on a daily basis. Only one has actually not been happy with the service, and that was caused by him violating the terms of service.

    Now, for the helpful community members who actually want to help me, I've followed the directions in the link http://openvz.org/PPP_in_container and it doesn't still doesn't work:

    HN # nano /etc/sysconfig/modules/ppp.modules

    .#!/bin/sh

    /sbin/modprobe ppp_async
    /sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate
    /sbin/modprobe ppp_mppe

    @Corey yeah I noticed... and?

  • @shovenose - Anyone can get 120 customers when they firesale and there's plenty of room in the low end market for hosts that know what they're doing. The fact that you don't know what your doing and you think that you can compete astounds me. Let me know when you have nearly 3,000 clients in 6 locations and are still unable to enable PPP on your own.

    Just throwing some data out there for investigators.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @BlueVM Well once somebody here actually helps me figure it out, I won't be having PPP issues anymore. I know what I'm doing (mostly) enough to keep my customers happy for the price they pay. Everything will change (in a positive way) in May when more employees are hired, we get an actual office, we start adding credit card as a direct payment method, etc. but until then the two of us (me and a friend who I pay to help) will just have to run ShoveHost our way. We host several local small businesses as well as provide several different solutions for many customers. For example, I had a customer who ordered a VPS a few days ago, then a day later an email hosting package and a domain name. Tell me, would they have ordered the second batch of services if they would not have been happy with the VPS??

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @Corey Wow, you know how to use a WHOIS lookup. How impressive! /sarcasm

  • joepie91joepie91 Member, Patron Provider

    Learning on the go is fine, as long as you can afford blowing things up without any real damage being caused.

    Running a hosting company is not one of those things.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    Well I started a thread with a nice, reasonable question. Then these threadcrappers had to come in.

    @joepie91 well, I don't see what blowing things up and wanting to enable PPP have to do with each other. Perhaps I'll just tell the client they can't have PPP and give them a partial refund. It's really not a big deal. Even though I would like to learn how to do it so next time I can do it quickly and not have to post on a forum about how to do it.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @Corey still don't get the relevance between any of that, and by question about PPP?

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @Corey Yup, I used to run Hardware Insights. Even though it got turned over to my friend in AU because I didn't have time for it.

    @shovenose

    You are wasting your time explaining your self to anyone here. Do as you please and ignore everyone else.

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @stylexnetworks any chance you know how to fix PPP?

  • did u enable it in the nodes kernel?

  • shovenose hit me up on pm

  • shovenoseshovenose Member, Host Rep

    @ZinnVPS thank you being helpful. I did not know I had to change the kernel. Currently the node is running 2.6.32-042stab068.8

  • @shovenose - So I was offering some friendly advice, not trying to belittle you. Joepie91 is right and what will happen will be one of the following:

    1. You fail to secure your servers correctly and a hacker breaks in.
    2. One of your clients attracts a DDOS and you go down for days.
    3. One of your clients executes a script which eats all of your CPU/RAM/Bandwidth/Other and you go down for days.
    4. You overload your servers, because lets face it you don't know how to calibrate the number of users to the hardware.
    5. Some of your users will ask for complicated setups that you are not prepared to offer, but you'll agree to anyway and when that fails they'll leave bad reviews about your company.
    6. You'll try to grow too fast and will sacrifice quality or profitability and it will lead to your dedicated server being suspended.
    7. Insert miscellaneous other problem which forces you to shut down here...

    As I said before, I recommend you sell to someone or get a business partner who knows more about Linux and Google than you do.
