UTC -07:00 PST(none support) ftp delay

[ttbx10ho]

I have had a few files that I uploaded by ftp (windows explorer) that showed successful upload. But when tried to reach the in web browser I got 404. One image file and a couple .php. I had uploaded several files and some I could reach by browse to and the others 404. I was confused so I stopped messing with it. Later I came back and files were found. But it got me puzzled. So I did some snooping. So I checked DNS.

http://www.intodns.com/ttb.x10host.com

There are some errors but nothing to get worked up about.

ns1.x10hosting.com. ['198.91.81.5'] If you go to the IP in a web browser it returns 500
ns2.x10hosting.com. ['108.178.57.230'] (NO GLUE) page can not be displayed.
A Record ['198.91.81.4'] also returns 500

IP to location
108.178.57.230 UNITED STATES, ILLINOIS, CHICAGO SINGLEHOP.COM
198.91.81.5 and 198.91.81.4 UNITED STATES, CALIFORNIA, OXNARD X10HOSTING.COM
sending date time zone UTC -07:00 PST
If echo date() on my script without setting TZ I get UTC -04:00 EST

It just seems to me the A Record ['198.91.81.4'] is the server where my files reside. So would not it be default UTC -07:00 PST. Maybe the dns and TZ are causing the 500, and ftp delay.

your x10hosting's free-hosting server is in Chicago, IL with a IP of [ 198.91.81.4 ] and a name of [ xo2 ]
just now - PHP server date and time is ==> Thu Oct 30,2014 17:44:12 EDT America/New_York <==
a server's time-zone can be set to any zone by the Admins

x10hosting recently implemented a different web-server-software setup on their free-hosting servers - which now is a combination of the Apache web server and the Varnish cache server
the cache server maybe why there is a delay before you 'see' the file - after you upload it

I follow so far, but Chicago, IL is in the CST TZ so script changes it. And the hardware clock would be UTE -5:00. Now when I send an email from webmail [ 198.91.81.4 ] Headers report UTE -7:00 which is PST. So you can see why I think [ 198.91.81.4 ] and [ 198.91.81.5 ] are on the west cost. Which is true the hardware clock or the script that changes it. I guess script headers send false but does OS send false.

Webmail on your account's server - can use the server's time-zone or the user can set one

x10hosting name servers go through CloudFlare - which can show IPs from any of their data centers - from anywhere in the world

your x10hosting's free-hosting server is located in Chicago, IL - but can have its time-zone set to any zone by the Admins - the zone is a offset +/- hours from GMT
a PHP script can use the server's time-zone or have its own time-zone (offset) set

I think I get it. I am a little stump why an admin would set different script with different TZ on the same server/OS but okay. Maybe that is why I could not set SetEnv TZ America/Chicago in htaccess. Had to set it in the index doc script.

Very interesting bdistler. So server hardware can not be located by IP address. All those crime shows are just pulling chain tracking criminals by IP address. Thanks for the time and replies.

here is some fun - one IP [ 198.91.81.4 ] that shows as being in three (3) places at the same time...
see --> [ http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#ipInformation|type=ipv4&&value=198.91.81.4 ]

x10hosting servers are in Chicago, IL - which is in time-zone [ America/Chicago ]
but their office is in New Hampshire - so the Admins set most of the servers to time-zone [ America/New_York ]
