What is FSCK?

July 14, 2008 · Filed Under Operating Systems · Comment 

What is FSCK? Why is it required? There are several reasons behind the system file corruption. For example, you forgot to shut down your system properly, suddenly cut off the power supply, a storage device was removed when system is in process to write the data on it, accidentally press the restart button of your system.

In Linux some data is kept in the memory before it is written to the disk. This speeds up the process and it used in many systems including Windows OS. If the system is turned off or improperly shut down before it writes the data from memory to disk then there is a chance of the system file corruption. Hence, it is required to shut down the system properly. During improper shut down, the file systems are unmounted from the memory. FSCK will unmount these file systems during boot automatically. You can also run FSCK program manually using the below command:

To check root file system:
fsck -V -a

For all other than root file systems:
fsck -R -A -V -a

The last command will check everything except root (-R) file systems.

You can also tell fsck to show what it did using echo option as below:

fsck -A -V ; echo ==$?==

The fsck codes are listed in the below table:

Code Explanation
0 No errors
1 File system errors corrected
2 System should be rebooted
4 File system errors left uncorrected
8 Operational error
16 Usage or syntax error
128 Shared library error

Generally, fsck repairs the file systems automatically. If it fails to repair the file systems then you probably have a corrupted superblock.

FREE Web Hosting

July 14, 2008 · Filed Under Web Hosting · Comment 

There are many hosting providers which provide the free web hosting. You do not need to pay anything to host your site on their server. Generally they put their ads in your website or place the popup or banner in your website. The free website hosts often make the money in other ways like putting the banners, popup or popup ads on your web pages. Some hosts do not place any ads or banners or popup but they are in hope that you may upgrade and pay for the advance features. Are free web hosts reliable?

Generally NO. Free web hosting is not reliable for the commercial use. Most of the free web hosts do not provide any kind of technical support for your website. You have to manage your site yourself. If the free web host allows anyone to signup and if they provide the features like PHP or CGI then some users may try to find way to abuse it, which cause the service interruption or it may possible that they need to shutdown the server which will lost your website as well as your data. You have to choose selective free web hosts which allow hosting only quality websites.

The best place to find the free web hosts is free web hosting directory. You will get the users review of the free web hosts from the web hosting directory. That may help you to choose the free host. Before you sign up for the free hosting, you have to check the disk space and bandwidth they provide. You need to go through their Terms of Services (TOS) before sign up.

It would be hard to recommend any free web host as different people need different web hosting features and most of the free web hosts provide different features. Free hosting is recommended for business. That means if your business depends on your web site then it is not recommend using free web hosting as generally they do not provide any kind of technical support and any uptime guarantee of the server.

Web hosting control panel

July 14, 2008 · Filed Under Web Hosting Control Panels · Comment 

Once you host your web site (domain) through any web hosting provider, you will need some interface to manage your web site (domain). Without any interface, it is hard to manage your web site. The interface through which you can manage your web site (domain) is called web hosting control panel.

There are many web hosting control panels available. Some of them are HELM (only for Windows server), cPanel/WHM (For Linux server), Plesk (Windows and Linux servers), DirectAdmin (Linux) Ensim etc. Using the control panel, you can manage your web site (domain) easily from any where. It allows you to create the email accounts of your web site (domain), to set the email forwarder for your email accounts, to add the domain alias (domain parking), to modify the web pages of your web site through file manager, to create the databases for your web site (domain) etc. Many control panels allow you to modify your DNS zone of your website. Hence, you do not need to contact your hosting provider in order modify some records in the DNS zone of your domain (i.e. A record, MX record, add CNAME). In same way many control panels allow you to upload your web pages directly through control panel and you can zip or unzip the folder through control panel itself.

If you have your own dedicated server then you can manage the web sites without any web hosting control panel. However, it would be easy to setup your server using the hosting control panel as it provides the user friendly interface.

Below are the some web sites for web hosting control panel product:

http://www.cpanel.net

http://www.webhostautomation.com

http://www.swsoft.com

http://www.directadmin.com

You should upgrade your control panel regularly to fix the bugs in the current version of the control panel and improve the security of your server.

Increase link popularity in Google

July 14, 2008 · Filed Under Search Engine Optimization · 1 Comment 

Link popularity is one of the most important factors to determine your website’s search engine ranking. What is Link popularity, why it is important to increase the page rank of the website and how Google measure the link popularity? Before we start talking about how Google measure the link popularity, we need to clarify some fundamentals.

Link popularity means the number of sites that are linking to your site. The search engines use the number of inbound links to your site to calculate the ranking of your site. The actual number of links to your site is not the only variable used to calculate your link popularity but the search engines also examine the relevance of the links to the subject matter of your site.

For example, if you have a website related to web hosting has 10,000 inbound links, but the source of most of the inbound links are websites that are not related to web hosting, then the algorithm that search engines use to determine link popularity will take that into account, it calculates the link popularity accordingly. Hence, it is possible that if you have small numbers of inbound links but most of the links are relevant to your website then the link popularity of your website and website ranking, may higher than the other websites which have more inbound links than your website but most of the links are not relevant to their website.

Now, I hope you may understand what link popularity is and how it works. Now, we will look at how Google measures the link popularity. Google uses a number of variables in their algorithm to calculate the overall link popularity. Higher the score of your website, higher rank in the search listing.

Obviously, Google uses the inbound links to your website but it also measures the quality of your inbound links. That means, your site should have relevance links to your site. Also, you can post your link to the blogs and forums which are related to your web site. That will lead you higher link popularity and Google page ranking for your site.

System is not booting

July 14, 2008 · Filed Under Operating Systems · Comment 

You have seen the message “Boot disk failure” while starting your PC. The problem behind this is that the hard drive is detected but the operating system doesn’t load. You will need to reinstall the operating system or you will need to rebuild your master boot record to fix the boot problem. Below are few troubleshooting options to get rid of:

If you are using the dual boot system then it may possible that the boot loader getting corrupted. For example, you have a system running Windows XP and Linux using Lilo as boot loader. If Lilo gets corrupted, you can not boot in either operating system. In such situation, you have to boot into the system using some other media such as floppy or Windows CD. After booting go to the command prompt, type fdisk /mbr and hit enter key. If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP then boot into the recovery console and shoot out the command fixmbr to clear the MBR (Master Boot Record). After restarting your system, it will boot to Windows directly without any booting option. Now, you can reinstall the Lilo from your Linux CD or you can install the boot loaders such as XOSL from Windows.

If you are not using the dual boot system then boot into the system through floppy or Windows CD. If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you should boot into the recovery console. Go to the command prompt and give the command fdisk /mbr and then give the command sys C:. It will clear the MBR (Master Boot Record) and makes the bootable partition C:. Windows 2000 and Windows XP users should give the command fixmbr and fixboot C: to do the same. Then restart your system.

If you are still receiving the error then you might have a virus on your PC’s boot sector. In such case, connect your hard drive to another system and scan with an anti virus software.
