Just imagine.. You have a wordpress blog, and for some reason, you cannot login as admin user to your wordpress blog?
You tried the forget password utility, but dont get through the password reset feature and now clueless..
Then it might be time to change that information using WordPress’ database.
Even if you don’t have CPanel, you should have access to phpMyAdmin. It is a simple, but powerful, application that allows you control over your databases, and can be easily used to change all kinds of information stored in the MySQL databases it manages.
1) Login to your phpmyadmin and search for the database that holds your wordpress data. You can login to phpmyadmin as root user, or with the mysql user that has access to your databases.
2) A new window will most likely have opened. It will have two panes. On the left hand side you will have a list of databases. Click on the one related to the WordPress installation we are going to work with.
Look for a table called wp_users in the left hand pane. It is usually the last item in the list.
*Note: If your WordPress table prefix is not wp_ then you will be of course looking for your custom prefix user table. You can find your prefix in the wp-config.php file.
Click on the user table link, and in the right hand pane, the information will change. At the top there should be a few links. Click Browse.
It should then look something like the following image.
3) Now is the time to reset your password. Please remember, WordPress stores the passwords as MD5 hash. You will notice there is a field called user_pass. This is where the password is stored in WordPress. Find the user you want to edit, and click the pencil image next to the red X. This will allow us to edit the entry.
You will notice the password is strange, and not plain text. This is because for security reasons, as passwords are in MD5 has format.
We can’t just enter a normal text password, and should replace the MD5 hash of the password we don’t know with the MD5 hash of a password we do know.
To create an MD5 hash, I usually just search for “online MD5 hash” on Google, and come up with some great online tools for creating the result I need.
In such tools, I enter what I want the password to be, click a button to process it, and it spits out the MD5 hash that I want to enter in the user_pass field.
Click Go to save the change, and then log in to WordPress using your new password.

I generally try to write blog posts by picking a particular topic from several discussion forums.. Today saw a thread where someone said, he was not aware about any web hosting knowledge and wanted to start his own web hosting business…
Well.. for people who know about web hosting, for them this is not a big deal.. But if you try thinking about those who are not aware about web hosting industry, I believe the following article will help them to get an idea about this industry and about starting their own web hosting if they wish to..
Few questions that a new person may have in mind are, how to go about or how to start a web hosting business?
The answer is quite simple, affordable and possible for almost everyone.. To start a web hosting business, you need not invest heavily from the very first day.. You do not have any client, you have less knowledge about this industry and limited technical knowledge about hosting aspects.. then why invest in bulk and repent later..
Better, start with reseller web hosting and gradually expand your business to your own web hosting business..
Benefits of starting as a reseller webhost:
1) Do you have enough capital to invest to purchase your own servers? 2) Do you have enough knowledge or staff to take care of those servers? 3) Do you have ample of time to take care of 24/7 support? 4) Do you have the capability to invest further to offer additional attractive features along with normal web hosting to your clients? 5) Do you have enough experience of dealing with web hosting in past?
If no, then why take the risk and make your life more complex..
Simply go for a reseller web hosting solution.. Be wise and choose a turn-key reseller web hosting plan from a company offering one.! Now the question is, what is turn-key reseller hosting?
The reseller web hosting that can be started in just a few minutes, right from the purchase of domain name to integrating it with a billing system and server and with a decent web design, and that too in just a few minutes, is turn-key reseller hosting.
So while choosing your reseller host, you may need to think about few factors that will be affecting your reseller hosting business..
1) Is the chosen reseller web host is a reliable and reputed provider? If so, how long has he been in business? Is it a debt free company?
2) Do they offer private nameservers? (Private nameservers will hide your reseller host identity and project you as the real host before your clients).
3) If they offer private nameservers, is it a free or a paid feature?
4) What kind of control panel do they offer?
5) Do they offer overselling? (I would personally say, stay away from overselling. No unlimited thing exists in this world and overselled servers are over-stuffed servers having high server loads and poor performance).
6) Do they offer any kind of billing application for their reseller clients? (most companies offer them free of cost, allowing their resellers to build their reseller business in a day).
7) Do they offer SSL certificates? (if you have a billing system and cart, SSL will be needed to gain your clients confidence).
 Do they offer end user support? (Since you have limited technical knowledge, cant afford to hire external support or if you do not have time to support your clients, why not choose a host that offers free end user support! That way they will take care of your clients on your behalf.)
9) Is the end user support completely white labelled? (Make sure your host has white labelled end user support. What if your client comes to know you are a reseller and your parent host is someone else! So make sure you choose a host with white labelled end user support and 100% private namesever offering host).
Well.. RSHosting has been offering reseller web hosting since years now and has gained as a reputation of reliable reseller web hosting provider across the globe. With the choice of US and UK servers, our clients can take the advantage of representing themselves as a host offering hosting on US and UK networks.

MySQL is easiest to install on Red Hat systems using the RPM packages. To install MySQL in the same directory as the RPM packages use the command:
# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Note: You most likely need to do this as the root user. Either log in or su to root.
After MySQL is installed you need to set the root password. To do this use the following commanding changing my_password to the password you want for the root user to access MySQL.
# mysqladmin -u root password ‘my_password’
Note: If the MySQL service is not running, you may have to start it by hand before trying to set the password. It should start automatically when the computer boots. The command to start MySQL is:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
You can test the MySQL installation by doing the following:
# mysql mysql (connect to mysql database)
Enter Password:
mysql> SELECT * FROM user; (grab some data out of user table)
This should return the data in the user table. Type exit to leave.

This can be done with .htaccess, visitors must input username and password before they can access the protected directory.
Step 1.
Create the file “.htaccess†with the following content under the directory you want to protect, you can specify the password in any place as long as Apache can access it.
AuthUserFile /home/account/passwd/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName “Titleâ€
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
Step 2.
Generate the password file “.htpasswd†under the directory /home/account/passwd/ with the following command:
# htpasswd -c .htpasswd user_name
You will be reminded to input password for the user “user_nameâ€, this command can be called multi times to generate multi users.
Step 3.
This step may not be necessary. If there is an entry about the directory you want to protect in Apache configuration file, make sure AllowOverride has the option authconfig.
For example, when protecting Awstats pages, the Apache configuration file should be modified as following:
Options None
AllowOverride authconfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Restart Apache
# /usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart

Robots.txt file is a simple text file which is responsible for preventing crawling of your site’s pages. Suppose you have certain pages which are not SE friendly such as pages including repeated keywords, some hidden tags with keywords and some other bugs which may be responsible for getting your site banned from search engines.
The robots.txt file is a simple text file which can be created using Notepad.
It should be saved at root directory of your site. eg.http://www.yoursitename.com/robots.txt.
Format :
User-agent: robot or spider name
Disallow: files or directories.
If you want to exclude all the search engine spiders from your entire domain, Just use this tiny code, but be sure you need it.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
If you want to prevent your certain directories, you can specify them in Disallow field.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /directoryname1/
Disallow: / directoryname2/
Similarly if you want to restrict specific files then type in the path of the files.
User-agent: *
Disallow: / directoryname1/filename.html
If you don’t want certain spiders crawling your site, which are not useful for you or are just eating up your bandwidth, you can specify them in User-agent. Eg. You don’t want bot of Alta vista (Scooter) from crawl your whole site use following code.
User-Agent: Scooter
Disallow: /
While using robots.txt file you should be careful, It may stop your specified pages from appearing in search engines.There are many hundreds of bots and spiders crawling the Internet, most of them respect your robot.txt file while some may not.
Note :
(*) You can include comments in your robots.txt file, by putting a pound-sign (#) at the front of the line to be commented.
(*) You can find the names of robots which are crawling around your site in your log file..
