OS (VPS) Management
I recently got my hands on a few unmanaged VPS to play around with and learn how to work on them (eventually plan on going dedicated, so this is a preparation for that). I know the basics of working on Linux via command line, but beyond that I'm clueless. Does anyone know of any good guides for setting up and managing a LAMP environment on a VPS? I'm mostly interested in CentOS and Debian. I can find guides specifically for 1 or 2 things, but so far the only useful (complete) guide I've found is the one here. I'm not sure if that's still up to date on todays standards as it was written 2 years ago? Things I'm looking for: - Installing and setting up a LAMP environment - Jailing SSH - User/Group management - Firewall setup / security hardening (I've read the thread in VPS tutorials as well as the one in Technical and Security Tutorials about securing your hosting company) 2 more questions... 1) Wondering what would be better... webmin or ispconfig? From what I understand webmin is more OS oriented and allows easy configuration of various parts of the OS while ispconfig is more hosting oriented? I take it running both at the same time is not recommended/needed? 2) Still not entirely sure what OS to choose. In my VPS atm I have the following available (along with the likes of Ubuntu, Gentoo and SuSE but I think the list bellow is what I should use). Would love if someone could list some advantages/disadvantages of each. - centos-5-i386-afull - centos-5-i386-hostinabox571 - debian-3.1-i386-minimal - debian-4.0-i386-minimal Appreciate any input. Thanks for reading.

Memory Management On VPS
1-On a VPS if I have 128 RAM guaranteed and 512 Burst, when I do top I can see the 471856k, it means at that moment I can use 471856k RAM, or this memory show is something I cant trust? 2- If I have 128 guaranteed and for some reason a a process tries to eat more than that(like 1 gig for exaple) it will be not allowed? Do I have to pay anything for that leak? DO the leak affects the ENtire host? I believe I kno all those answer but is better to double check them....

Virtuozzo Or In-House VPS Management Software
Let's say someone is on the final step of setting up VPS hosting service. There are 2 options. 1. To launch Virtuozzo based VPS hosting 2. To develop own VPs management software I would ask you to tell me 2 things. What would you do, would you spend a month or 2 in developing VPS control panel or you'd start with Virtuozzo. The other question is can you please post information about Virtuozzo pricing and dealers. The guys from Parallels didn't respond to email send before 48 hours. I'll give them a call but still want to know what do you think?

Webby Cart VPS Management Review
I just got a new VPS with Direct Admin installed and was scouting around for some one to secure, optimize and manage the VPS as I really do not have the time at this moment to do it myself. I selected Webbycart to do it for me and I have not been disappointed. Bobby and his team have been truly impressive and have done a wonderful job on the VPS. I have put in a total of 4 support tickets so far and each one has been attended to in a fast, professional manner. I will continue to have them for VPS management as they are technically capable of handling stuff unlike one other management provider I have seen.

We have an older CardKey system in place here and are looking to do some updates. Anyone know of distributors of Pegasus software to manage the systems? Dealing with Johnson directly has been a huge pain and they are never around when you need them. I am in the Dallas area just looking for contacts on managing the systems.

Backorder Systems
i know maybe it is wrong for this topic to be here, but i am going to focus on my question in technically . my question is " how backorder systems work? " . i dont want description of them, i know they check the domain over and over and register it as soon as be available. what i mean is what system they do to check the availability of domain better ? public whois database's are caching and not return the realtime result. so what they do ? do they contact directly to internic whois servers ? or they use "whois" linux command? anybody know what they do to get realtime domain check?

Small UPS Systems
We are currently building out our new server room and are currently unsure which UPS system to purchase. Does any one have any experience with either the APC Symmetra LX or Liebert Nfinity systems? We require ~8kva. Both units appear to be very similar in specs and both allow expandability.

Want To Change Email Systems
I have had enough of email problems that constantly happen on a server. For about three weeks now I have been dealing with email issues that I am going out of my mind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a email scheme that will work. Here is what I would like to do. Disable Exim COMPLETELY. Either setup a server for email only or find a email solution. Email will be pointed ONLY by way of DNS.Once I get email fixed on this box it works for a day and next thing you know it's all messed up again. Somehow etc/localdomains and etc/remotedomains either vanish or get over written plus a bunch of other things including permissions.All I know is this is getting ridiculous.I don't want any sort of email system on this box. I want all my email to go though DNS only to another server. We already have on service that we use for Exchange, so all the MX Records point to that server, but email still has to interact with this server first, which I don't want it to.

I sharing File system using NFS between 2 mailservers running postfix on CentOS 5.2.The mail servers shares the base mail directory of virtual users e.g. /home/vmail. It appears to run fine since last couple of months,just requires feedback if anybody already tried sharing mail directories between 2 or more mail servers. Or is there any alternate solution for sharing data between servers?

Cache Systems For Apache In Windows
I have a fair ammount of load on the server, and I want to cache as much as possible to reduce disk IO. The harddrive is a major bottleneck for performance. The server serve a lot of files larger than 10MB, so I want to cache as much of the files below 10mb as possible. First off I want to cache around 200k thumbnail files, where around 1000 new gets added every day. Secondly it would be preferred to cache dynamic files in a way that the file timestamp is checked at a regular interval, and then read again if timestamp has changed. Is there any free solutions on windows with apache for this?

Millennium Data Systems' Dedicated Servers
to ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment. I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.

IP Management In DirectAdmin
I have 4 ip addresses. 74.63.67.146 - my main server. I have also configured my main domain to "own" this IP address and have installed an SSL cert. The domain and the cert work correctly but when you type in the IP address in, it shows "Apache is functioning normally". 74.63.67.147 - this is owned by a client. Same thing happens as above except that the domain name and the IP address point to the Apache message. 74.63.67.148 - this is the shared IP. Everything works correctly. 74.63.67.149 - this is another owned IP and it works correctly. The only thing that is different from 146, 147

DNS Management
We run around 300 domains for our clients; in the past we've believed that it was better to outsource DNS hosting, we've used a few different local companies but now we're getting to the stage that I'd like to consolidate all the records to one company. Does anyone have any reccomendations for ultra reliable, easy to manage? Or is it better to put a dedicated machine in and run our own service? I've got a few domains with Zoneedit, but I want to way-up some alternatives, I don't think the zoneedit admin is particularly user friendly and it's quite expensive $1000+ a year for what we need.

Just curious if there are any decent control panels to manage Hyper-V VPS containers besides DotNetPanel... I've been trying to find a viable alternative, but I am striking out on my search. I just cannot seem to understand why DotNetPanel is so expensive, $70/month for the enterprise edition, plus $50/month for 10 VPS containers.

What Server Management Package
If you are deploying PHP and MySQL along with a site/application, how do you do it? Do you work with the individual components, or do you lean towards ready-made packages? I use WAMP to develop my applications, and I find it a very simple yet powerful tool for deploying Apache, MySQL and PHP to Windows platforms. I've been looking at the Zend Server today too, which strikes me as very interesting, especially the full version.

Content Management For Dummies
I'm investigating quick and easy web hosts for our neighborhood web site. We don't need anything fancy, but the most important feature would be where (once I set up the site) simpletons like the board members can upload new documents, articles, contact info, etc. Kind of like a SharePoint site where you don't need a web master to make changes (I have better things to do...).

Freelance Server Management
Maybe I'm underestimating the importance of server management, but I can't see how it is worth it to pay $300 per month for a server that can be built for $700 with the co-location costing about $100 per month. So, I'm thinking that I can build a server or just buy a server that was considered excellent 2 years ago off of Ebay for about $700 or maybe less. From there, I simply need to find a $100 per month co-location hosting place and a freelance server dude to keep the thing updated for me and work out problems if they actually come up. So with that said, where is a good place to find a freelance server manager?

Cable Management Woes
So we have 10 racks of mess in our custom colo cage. Each rack currently has 20+ servers, most with dual network interfaces hooked up, most racks with two switches and 3+ apc remote power strips per rack. Each rack is an APC 4 post unit [url] We have no cable management trays and currently tie up cables with velco and zapstraps, trying to keep power cables to the left and cat5 cables to the right. Unfortunately, even with all our effort, it's really turning into a wall of cabling that is basically insulating each rack and causing a temperature issue (or the potential for one at least). Even worse, we want to add in KVM over IP hooked up on nearly every server. While I see the great benefits of the KVM, I can't see how on earth we are going to make the cabling work out!

Server Management Company Or Me
I initially posted a topic to get help with a problem because I want to fix it myself without wasting the time of the server management company. They however picked up the post and said I should opened a ticket with them. The problem is however still not resolved to my satifaction after a few days because we differ on some points so can you please air your view on this matter? ----------------- [url]or [url] Problem 1) Certificate error that hostname and certificate name don't match. Problem 2) At some places in WHM or cPanel there is a secure and non secure warning items. The problem 2 is perhaps to bug in WHM V11 so it is not so important. However, the server mangement staff insist that problem 1 is because the login is via IP (or other domain name) and not via hostname but I don't agree with them because. a) During the years I always logged into whm or cpanel via ip or domain names and never got such error. b) cPanel redirect any whm or cpanel access to the ssl ports under HOSTNAME so it MUST match the certificate even if you use 75.127.69.82:2087 I don't get any error if log in with [url]so it is clear that the redirection to ssl ports under HOSTNAME like above don't work correctly. That the redirection works can be seen by using [url]because the same error comes up (for mercury.domain.com) despite the site have his own certificate. What we have here is. Hostname = mercury.domain.com Certificate Name = mercury.domain.com [url] (Works Fine because certificate name is mercury.domain.com) [url] (Name of site don't match mercury.domain.com despite redirection to hostname IN WHM) [url](Works fine, Host name = othersite.com and match certificate name) [url](Name of site don't match mercury.domain.com despite redirection to hostname IN WHM) What I suspect is that cpanel redirect but NOT to the actual hostname (mercury.domain.com) or otherwise present/display the hostname incorrectly so that it don't match the certificate. WHM 11 setting: Redirect to ssl ports = enabled Two further settings, redirect to hostname = enabled (None of the settings have any effect anyway and I tested hostname, certificate name and origin domain name redirect with the same results)

FTP Management Software
file/folder management system where I can upload files thought the system of FTP program and setup accounts that can access that folder with various permissions. The goal is to be able to create any amount of folders and sub folders and assign unlimited amount of users to individual folders with permissions to upload (with or without over-right privileges), and download files in the folder they have access to. I am open to using a third party, if Yahoo! or some similar file hosting company offers such a service.

Outsourcing Server Management
Does anyone here have any experience outsourcing server management? I've setup and run my own Linux server and configured my own database and PHP and Apache but I just don't have the time to keep everything running, backed-up and updated. I'd love to have someone who I could just send jobs to, such as upgrading to PHP 5.2.2 or figuring out why Postgres doesn't start up correctly or why the logs aren't getting rotated automatically anymore or making sure the backups are happening or recovering from a hard disk failure, etc. I'm sure I could figure all this out (maybe on the second or third tries too), but I just don't have the time or the expertise these days.

Platinum Server Management/WiredTree
After doing the proper research, I decided to lease a dedicated server from WiredTree. Let me start by saying that in the short time that I've been a customer of WiredTree.. I have absolutely loved their service! After one month, I will do a full review of their service.. because they have been absolutely amazing! The only issue that I've had up until now is not their fault at all. When we first signed up to their service, they were aware that we were getting a dedicated server with them because of their proactive support with DDOS attacks. Sure enough.. first day up.. we were getting DDOSed. WiredTree responded very quickly, and worked for endless hours to help us out. The issue was resolved, and the site ran great for about another week.. Then, DDOS attacks started up again and the site became very slow. Not only was Apache running slowly, but FTP/Shell would load very slowly. I asked them to assist me with the DDOS, and they did. Now I'm just not sure of what the issue may be, because the site still loads slowly or times out for many of my members. The site loads fine for me (now), but was lagging/timing out up to this morning. - Once again, I'll note that up to now, WiredTree have been as helpful as they can possibly can.. though for them, the site has loaded in under 3 seconds the entire time. They've asked me to submit affected IPs.. and I've submitted one that I know is affected. I'm waiting to see if the IP was blocked.. though its only loading slow for them. It is not blocking them, so I'm pretty sure that they weren't hit by the firewall. My question is.. does anyone think that PlatinumServerManagement could more for us as far as finding/resolving an issue here? Perhaps a fresh pair of eyes could help considerably.. My concern would be having two people managing the server. Obviously PSM won't do anything unless I create a ticket, requesting their help.. but would having PSM work alongside them possibly become intrusive for WiredTree? I'm just looking for some advice on the next step. If it'd help at all.. I could post the URL so I could see if other people experience the issue.

Bandwidth Shaping And Traffic Management
I am just in the process of setting up a new rack for some lower end clients. At present we have both a local (National) and international traffic split. We need to offer our clients a 100/100 port speed on the national route/bgp/ip range but only a set amount on the international range. The port speed/throughput for international traffic would need to be as low as 128k/128k. I would also like to have the flexibility to impose data limits on the international link as apposed to bandwidth shaping. I have a spare Cisco 3750G-48TS I was hoping to utilize for the main switch on this rack (SFP Ports for multiple uplinks, National/International) Hardware/Server wise what will be the easiest way to achieve this?
