.Net Vs PHP And Therefore Linux Vs Windows Servers
Jun 12, 2007
I have been a user of sitepoint for quite a while now. I am developing software applications at present and keep bumping my head into the same old question.
Which is better, Linux or Windows servers. (Probably a question which depends on what they are used for of course.) In this case, they would be used to store a database for the application and therefore communicate with it etc.
The choice is, do I develop the application in .net and use windows or do I go down the PHP route and use Linux.
This is the options that have been explained to me, of course I am not a developer myself so am just hearing the advice I am told.

This question, and many questions relating to this I am sure must have reasoning behind it. It basicly relates down to the following;
Why do game servers use up more CPU on Linux, opposed to Windows?
Some people say it doesnt, and that is true for some games, but most games I have found, the CPU usage of the game on a Linux based server is far higher.
Just as an example, most Steam games.
I really would like to know why, and how it could be reduced. What are some things I can install, or configure to make game servers run more smoothly or use less CPU on Linux?
If anyone has any ideas & thoughts related to this, please let me/us know, for im sure this is beneficial to all.
Just to add in, I use CentOS 4.6 Final.

I'm rather new to Windows dedicated servers and would like to know which Anti Virus to use for a Windows dedicated server?
What other security measures do I need to take on the windows server as well?
Been hosting with Linux servers for years, one would almost expect that a security on a Windows server is "second nature", but I have some doubts about the security of these servers. We'll be using Windows 2003 standard & Windows 2003 Web edition.

I have tried copy files from Linux server to Windows Server using WinSCP3 and it was so fast.
I am not sure who to copy files as well from Windows to Windows with same speed. I tried to use RDC between the Windows Servers and share one drive. But it wasn't fast as WinSCP3.

I don't use anything like active directory to manage my windows servers. I just manage them individually.
I need to make a change to terminal services configuration on all of them. I don't want to login to each one and manually edit it.
How the hell can I do this in Windows?
In Linux i could knock up a script in about 5 minutes with expect that would login to every single one and make the change i wanted.

I have the problem described here: [URL]
But my Plesk's license allows to use MS SQL Servers.
This began to happen after upgrading Plesk 11 to 12.
In psa Database, in DatabaseServers table it appears. If I delete and add back into Plesk, it shows me no error, but neither added to the database servers.

I currently have a server (Xeon 1x5310, 4gb RAM, 4x500gb hdd in Raid 10) with Windows 2003. Now do to a project I'm looking at installing Windows 2008 and upgrading to 2x5310 and 16gb of RAM on my server.
I'm looking to create a virtualized test environment for development of a new web service I'm working on. What I'm looking to develop right now is 2 file servers, 3 web servers, 3 MS SQL database servers and 1 DNS server (would prefer but not sure if hardware can handle it. Virtualization would be ideal as this is very similar to what we believe will we have when we launch the service.
I have a few questions I'm hoping you might be able to answer:
1) With the upgraded hardware specs, should it be able to handle the load if I assign each virtual entity 1 core with 2gb of RAM each?
2) I would like to create each of the multiple servers in a cluster (ie cluster of webservers) as this is how it will be in production. But, I've never worked with clusters before so:
a) where can I learn about clustering windows 2008 servers?
b) is this possible to do in a virtualized environment?
3) How does MS work the licensing? I want to have each server running Windows 2008 and 2-3 of them running SQL Server 2005.
a) Do they charge extra for each virtualized server?
b) Does this mean I have to purchase 3 complete copies of SQL Server or is there a way I can pay a low license fee for use in a non-commercial, non-production environment?
4) Does anyone see any problems with this setup or have any suggestions for me?
* I do have money available to spend on a good solution, so if you have suggestions that cost please let me know. I just thought virtualization would be the way to go as the project will be in development for at least a year with no public access.
** I realize that Hyper-V hasn't been released yet (that I know of) so information on it might be limited

I'm looking for information about having EXTERNAL ms-sql 2008/2012 servers with MS-SQL Web Edition license connected to one or more Plesk servers.
We don't want to use the Express version coming with Plesk but use MS-SQL 2008 & 2012 (both accessible by clients if possible), on individual dedicated machines for SQL only.Of course we'd like to have all current functionality coming with Plesk Power Panel inc. backup/restore options from within Plesk.

I received this from ResellerClub earlier...
Dear Reseller,
We were reported of several websites hosted on our Linux Servers showing virus alerts. Our investigations have revealed that these alerts are due to an injection attack on packages hosted on our servers. The FTP logs of the infected packages indicate that the machines of the customers who own those domains are compromised and have been used to upload malicious content to their respective hosting packages.
What is a Gumblar Attack?
Gumblar appears to be a combination of exploit scripts and malware. The scripts are embedded in .html, .js and .php files using obfuscated Javascript. They load malware content from third party sites without the user's knowledge. It also steals FTP credentials from the victim's computer, which allows it to spread and infect additional sites. Therefore, when someone visits an infected site they get infected and if they have FTP credentials for a website on their machine then those sites will get infected too. This explains the exponential growth of the exploit in such a short space of time.
What makes it different from previous malware exploits?
There are a number of aspects to this exploit that both make it difficult to remove and help it spread. Firstly, it is infecting users who are browsing legitimate websites, if these users are webmasters then it is infecting their websites by using their FTP credentials to inject the script onto their site. The obfuscated malicious code is dynamically generated. This makes it difficult to detect and difficult to automatically remove. Not only does the script vary from site to site but it can also vary from page to page on the one site.
Further Read:
- http://tinyurl.com/m23ncu
- http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10244529-83.html
What have we done?
As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily blocked FTP services on our Linux Hosting Servers. This will prevent infection of any other hosting packages. We are in the process of removing malicious content from every package that was infected as a result of this. However if we re-establish FTP connections your clients will re-infect their respective hosting packages since their machines are likely compromised.
What we are doing?
We will be shifting to a secure FTP connection and resetting everyone's FTP passwords across all Linux Hosting packages. You can later on modify these passwords from your website management panel. You should ideally warn your customers about this worm and ask them to scan their machines given its exponential spread so far.
Regards,
ResellerClub Support Desk

I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc.
we plan to have three different types of servers:
- db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.)
- file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.)
- web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.)
could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs.
for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks...
for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable?
for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server?
I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it.
also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?
