Emails are not arriving to my Gmail.com account?

Re: Gmail email not arriving, email sent to gmail not arriving

If you are able to send email to some destinations but not to your Gmail.com and you do not get a bounce message email address then try the following:

  • Ensure that the email is no going to your Gmail.com junk folder
  • Ensure that you have an SPF record setup at the sending domain

If you are getting nothing arriving to your Gmail account and you are not getting a bounce and you have an SPF record set up then try this Google walkthrough: Google – Gmail emails not arriving

How can I tell if PHP SOAP is installed?

Re: Is PHP SOAP installed? Which version of PHP SOAP do I have?

For dedicated servers, you can tell if PHP SOAP is installed by the running the following command on the console:

# php -i phpinfo | grep soap

The following outpout will confirm you have PHP SOAP installed:

soap
soap.wsdl_cache => 1 => 1
soap.wsdl_cache_dir => /tmp => /tmp
soap.wsdl_cache_enabled => 1 => 1
soap.wsdl_cache_limit => 5 => 5
soap.wsdl_cache_ttl => 86400 => 86400

If you have a shared hosting account and need PHP SOAP, simply contact the Helpdesk to arrange a transfer of your account to a suitable server.

How do I view visitor statistics on my hosting account?

Re: How to enable visitors stats collection in Plesk hosting

Your Plesk Hosting account now comes with 2 options for viewing detailed visitor and traffic statistics concerning your website.

1) AWStats – Get advanced graphical web, ftp or mail statistics
2) Webalizer – statistics for user agents (browsers) and referrers

Visitor statistics collection is not enabled by default. You need to enable this feature as follows:

Simply login to your Plesk Control Panel, select your domain name and click “Web Hosting Settings”, scroll down and select which statistics package you wish to use for this domain.

To be able to view your statistics directly from your domain name (eg. www.yourdomain.com/plesk-stat/webstat) ensure you have a tick in the box that says “(accessible via password protected directory ‘/plesk-stat/webstat/’ )”, this will allow external direct URL access via your FTP password.

Once enabled, your visitor stats will be compiled everyday at 0400 so do not expect to see anything straight away. Simply check the next day and your visitor stats and charts will be available.

For professional high level statistics and analysis we highly recommend using Google Analytics in your website code, you can set up a free account here:
