If there is no script installed in the root (i.e. public_html etc.) for your domain name but you still get the message stating that you cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain, it means that a previously installed script was not properly removed. To resolve this problem you should follow these steps:
1. Log in cPanel and go to File Manager
2. Navigate to .fantasticodata in your Home Directory
3. Delete the file installed_in_root.php

SoftLayer and The Planet Begin Merged Operations
Dallas—November 16, 2010—SoftLayer Technologies®, the innovative on-demand data center services provider, and The Planet® today began merged operations under the SoftLayer name.
The transaction merging the companies was completed on November 9, creating the largest hosting services provider in the world. The new SoftLayer brings customers the full-range of infrastructure as a service from one source, with fully-automated solutions and innovation, greater technical expertise, expanded geographic diversity, and higher customer value through increased economies of scale. Details include:
76,000+ deployed servers
10 data centers
24,000+ customer accounts in 110+ countries
More than 1,500G of total connectivity
“Our first priority over the last few months has been to create the most seamless transition possible for our customers,” said Lance Crosby, continuing Chief Executive Officer of SoftLayer. “We’re operating as one company, but the only differences customers should notice will be the opportunities they have as we offer more options to more people, with even more value. All products and services continue to be provided, supported, and managed as before.”
Existing Planet accounts and services remain unchanged and accessible through the same control portals that Planet customers have used previously. In addition, the company has greatly integrated the SoftLayer and Planet portals to provide an easier transition for all customers. Legacy Planet customers can log into the SoftLayer Customer Portal with their Planet username and password, access information about their systems on either platform from within either portal, and move between both portals without signing in and out.
New products and services will only be offered on the SoftLayer platform, where the company will consolidate its offerings over time to leverage its advantages in automation and advanced networking architecture. However, legacy Planet customers will not be required to migrate their services, allowing them to decide when such a transition makes the best sense for their individual goals and needs.
“With our merged size, strategic advantages, and market position, we are ready to bring even more changes to the industry than either of us could have alone,” said George Karidis, SoftLayer Chief Strategy Officer, who is also serving as Chief Integration Officer. “We’ve worked hard to get ready for this day. I’m proud and, frankly, impressed by how far we are toward full integration. We’re hitting the ground running, already at a point that many merged companies don’t reach for months.”
SoftLayer’s new executive team brings together leaders from both companies: Mr. Crosby; Mr. Karidis; Tom Blair, Senior Vice President, Sales; Nathan Day, Chief Scientist; Sam Fleitman, Chief Operating Officer; Suzy Fulton, General Counsel; Mike Jones, Chief Financial Officer; and Duke Skarda, Chief Technology Officer.
DH Capital served as exclusive financial advisor to SoftLayer in connection with the merger transaction.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.
For example:
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Solution:
You can fix this problem by deleting \users\(your profile)\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft_Corporation\ folder. If you have older operating system, use “documents and settings” instead of “user”.

Reset MySQL root password WITHOUT existing root password
Sometimes, you may need to reset MySQL root password without existing root password on your web hosting server. You can reset the password by following the below steps:
[1] Stop the MySQL service from the server.
[2] Start the MySQL (mysqld) server/daemon process with the –skip-grant-tables option so that it will not prompt for password.
[3] Connect to mysql server as the root user. You can connect with GUI tool or from SSH or command line.
[4] Update MySQL root password using the following query:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
Flush the privileges using the following query:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
[5] Exit and restart the MySQL service.
For Linux servers, following are the complete steps with commands:
[1] Stop MySQL service:
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[2] Start MySQL with –skip-grant-tables:
# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
[3] Connect to MySQL server:
mysql -u root
[4] Set new MySQL root user password:
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("MyNewPass") where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit
[5] Stop and start MySQL service:
# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# /etc/init.d/mysql start
That’s it. Now, you should be able to access MySQL server using the root password specified in steps 4.
