Ross — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 19:21:45 +0000

This shows that there is a error somewhere in your rails application. More details about this error can be seen in two ways. They are as follows,

1) Login into your control panel and refer the Error log section.

2) Follow this path :- RAILS_APP/log/

Genrally you will get more appropriate information if you refer rails log directory. There are different files which are stored in there and it will depend upon the mode that you selected while you logged in. While using FastCGI wrapper, fastcgi.crash.log is needed. While regular CGI, it’s a type of log between many others, depending on the mode you’re in. Genral errors are incorrect database settings and bugs in your code.

Jeffrey — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 11:07:03 +0000

Some times you may see the error message like – “PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate xxxxxxx bytes) in Unknown on line 0? while accessing some php pages which indicates that those php files requires more memory for it to execute than the one specified in php.ini file. If the memory_limit value is manipulated in server side php.ini file, it will be applied to all the php files server side.

In order to overcome the error without modifying the server side php.ini file, you need to use the ini_set functionto increase the memory limit inserting the following code in the php file itself. Keep on increasing the memory limit unless the error disappears.

ini_set(”memory_limit”,”64M”);

What is a SPF record and how to change the SPF record ?

Ross — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:59:27 +0000

SPF stands for Standard Policy framework. It is being implemented by many Hosting providers. Hosting providers need a SPF record, so that a email can go through their network. It is an attempt made to control bounce back emails. It allows the e-mail address owner to specify the mail servers which will be used to send mail from their respective domain to prevent sender address forgery. The SPF record makes sure the Remote email server will allow mails on your server from your domain name only. It helps fighting against spam emails.

Its mostly used to create SPF record for a particular domain name so that you will not receive any bounce back emails that are not sent by you. The SPF record can be setup and managed for the respective domain name from
cPanel -> Email Authentication..
