GoDaddy shared Windows 4GH Server
Permalink
I am currently working on trying to get an installation of Concrete5 to run on a GoDaddy Windows Ultimate Shared Server(http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting.aspx?ci=8971... ). The installation went fine after I changed the installation .sql files to UTF-8(http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/mysql-1064-e... ) and apart from it running ridiculously slow and occasionally timing out it appeared to at least work. However, when I tried to change the page theme I got the following ASP error immediately after confirming that I am sure I want to change the theme.
"A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:)."
I found, with the help of GoDaddy Support, this link to that describes the error and how to get rid of it http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/request-validation...
To my understanding all I would need is a web.config file in the root containing
This has not worked for me yet. I have refreshed the IIS Application Pool and everything. Are there any Windows/GoDaddy guru's out there who have solved this issue yet? Also could the slowness of Concrete5 be related to the ASP configuration? The end solution might be a different host for Concrete5 but I figured I would post in case someone else has the same problem.
I attached a Screen Shot of the error if you want to see the details.

I also have a site on godaddy Linux shared hosting. Did you do any special mods to the system to speed it up. My site works fine, but its slow.
You can set the debug level to production, that might speed things up a little bit. I believe that is under Dashboard->System Settings->Debug. The site I have on GoDaddy seems to fluctuate. Sometimes it is pretty fast, sometimes not so much. Probably due to server load. Even when it loads slow it only take about 5 seconds or so. For me this is ok.
I hope that helps some.

Try adding this to your php5.ini in the directory where C5 is installed, it might help a little:
realpath_cache_size = 64m
realpath_cache_ttl = 180
realpath_cache_size = 64m
realpath_cache_ttl = 180
Yeah, I think that is what my client is going to end up doing. I found no solution to the problem and neither could GoDaddy. Thanks for your response.
Configure the application pool for the site to use .NET Framework v2.0.50727 and set the managed pipeline mode to Classic.
Is some case you can use this code in web.config
<system.web>
<httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters="" requestValidationMode="2.0" />
<pages validateRequest="false" /> </system.web>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime requestPathInvalidCharacters="" requestValidationMode="2.0" />
<pages validateRequest="false" /> </system.web>
I recommend you to change your shared Windows 4GH to a shared Linux 4GH. I did it because I've noted that the Windows server also was to slow. Now I am running Concrete5 on a shared Linux 4GH and it runs faster and very smoothly.
Regards.
