MySQL: How to delete records by date

Delete records where date is less than a certain date:
DELETE FROM `tablename` WHERE `date` < '2012-08-01';

You can also include intervals:
DELETE FROM `tablename` WHERE `date`  < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH);
DELETE FROM `tablename` WHERE `date`  < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 WEEK);
DELETE FROM `tablename` WHERE `date`  < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 DAY);

How to resolve 'res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#' error (Internet Explorer stopped working while viewing a website)

While testing a website I was developing, I got an error message saying "Internet Explorer has stopped working". This is followed by this line added before the URL: res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm# . I was using Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 64-bit machine. I tried disabling all add-ons in IE but that did not resolve the issue. I've found this solution to my problem: From Tools menu, open "Internet options". Go to the Advanced tab.

Alternatively, you can go to WHM > Manage AutoSSL and Run AutoSSL Check. Step 4: Add your parked domains to your .htaccess file as shown below. Note the "$" at the end of this line: ^www\.mywebsite\.com$ . This ...
