Books Or Guides Related To The Management And Installation Of Servers And Webhosting
Aug 13, 2008
As I am going to launch unique product connected with webhosting in the near future, I would like to learn more about the tech aspects of webhosting. By tech aspects I mean for example how to setup nameservers - how they work and how to setup them, SSL, how to setup ftp etc., so, basically I am interested in all the things connected to servers.
Could you please recommend me some guides or books related to webhosting and server management. I am newbie to servers and hosting, so I would like to learn it from the ground. I am searching for some book for beginners, but I cannot find any.

good remote management solution.
As the Intel vPro chip set looks very nice and has all this, what we need (remote power management, hardware analysis/informations, kvm, etc) we bought one main board with that chip set.
We had now the problem to find a software which has a good support for the Intel vPro chip set. We found and tried:
Intel AMT Developer Kit
LANDesk
Microsoft System Configuration Manager 2007
SyAM Software
The onliest software, which was install able and connect able at the moment, was the Intel AMT Developer Kit. Software like LANDesk and MS SysConfigMgr needs Windows Server Versions with and without Windows Domain. We succeeded (after fixing the requirements of each software) to install everything, but no software is able to connect to the vPro chip. Only the Intel AMT Developer Kit does.
The Intel AMT Developer Kit looks on the first look enough anf powerful. We can power on, off, reset, we see hardware informations, we can enter also the bios over remote console. But as soon as we want to start remotely a cd, for example simple memtest86 image, it doesn't gives any display.
Does someone of you has good experience in this system?
Has someone some suggestions, what software else is existing?
We want to manage linux/unix based and windows as well.
With manage we mean, to install and to maintain.
If here is some company, which can help us, also if it costs some money, we would be glad to get in touch.

In previous posts in this forum I was talking about having each server have an internal and external network connection but people point out that as they were load balanced it was a bad setup
I am now looking at setting up a VPN to access the internal servers that are load balanced. Does and one have any recommendations for good tutorials or sorftware that I can use on debian?

i have 100 web hosting clients that i want to move 50 clients to another server but i only now have one domain for the dns
server 1#
hostname : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host02.dnsdomain.com
server 2#
hostname : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host03.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host04.dnsdomain.com
and in the domain control panel i set the nameservers for the dnsdomain.com
nameserver1 : host01.dnsdomain.com
nameserver2 : host02.dnsdomain.com
and i didn't create account for it just dns only
is this a right way to create multi dns for multi webhosting servers?
and when i want to make subdomain hosting account site someting like
test02.dnsdomain.com

1- What means that the site has an IP?, what will differ if the site has an IP?
2- What is the importance of IPs for every site?, I mean now I'm running a shared hosting, Should each site has it's dedicated IP? and is it dangerous to make all clients has same IP?
3- I got 5 IPs with my server, how can I assign a DEDICATED IP for my main site, and then assign the 2nd 2 IPs for my main site Name servers & Finally assign the rest IPs for Resellers?
4- In the domaintools whois Service, Under Server Data category, sometimes I found :
Dedicated Hosting: domain.com is hosted on a dedicated server.
what this means, and how can I make my domain looks like this , cause it's already hosted on a dedicated server.
5- When I asked my Server Co. about extra IPs, they told me:
" for smaller allocations its $1 per ip, we also require full ARIN IP justification." so, what's ARIN IP justification?

I'm interested in making a site which would stream video game (RPG) audio to users through flash. I have long searched for a service that I could use to listen to that odd track from final fantasy 8 for example (and not some cheap midi) without going through hundreds of links etc. So I'm thinking of making one myself.
I know there are sites that host mass video game mp3s (gh.ffshrine.org) and also remix and host video game music (ocremix.org) but I don't know if what they are doing is OK by normal hosting standards.
if it is, <snipped>.

I have a question regarding, hard drives and performance etc... I only use it for forums and currently is only one site (hopefully couple more in no time)
Currently I have 2x36gb SAS in raid 1 obviously containing everything including dbs and /home. and a third 250gb drive for backups only ^^ Ronny did an excelent job setting this up.
Any ways, my problem is that I wan't to allow some attachments on my forums, and this would take a significant ammount of space over 1gb no problem and then keep increasing (that's gonna sux for bandwidth). I know it will fit in the SAS drives no problems, dbs are rather small at the time (2.5gb in total) but logs are quite big 5-10gbs in total.
I thought it might be a good idea to purchase another drive. This 4th drive would be 750 and backups would move there , and use the 250 for the /home directory. This would give a lot of room for uploads, and backups accordingly and keep the fast ones for OS and dbs
I was told, however, and understandebly, that a lot of performance would be lost by moving /home to a SATA drive I know SATAS are no way as fast, but then vbulletin can't upload attach files to a folder outside its hirachy (without complicated modifications).
(Note: i didn't specify my resons for wanting such set up)
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Having the bigger drive would allow me to have the attachments, and should eventually result on more traffic etc to my site. /home currently is only 150mbs big... but then performance is also an issue pitty i couldn't afford the bigger drices at the time [sees the point of renting over buydowns now]
is there a way that /var/log/httpd saves those massive logs on another drive? it would free up 5-10gbs
in shortIs moving /home to a SATA drive from Raid 1 SAS a bad idea? (considering space and purpose)
Could httpd logs or /var/log in general be moved to the backup/another drive?

Currently I am using rsync to backup directory and mysqldump sql file on both external and internal backup drive
Now the directory has around 100,000 files that hardly change. Only thing that happens in that directory is either the old files are deleted or new files are added. All of them image
Due to some reason when i rsync using any of the two commands below, it transfer each and every file again rather then transferring the new or updated files.
Here is what i am currently using
rsync -avH /old/path /destination/path (this is for internal backup drive)
or
rsync -avz -e ssh /old/path username@username.remoteaddress:/destination/path
why all my files in the directory all uploaded again

I have a Cpanel box, in WHM I used the "PHP Configuration Editor" and changed the php execution time (minor change). After clicking save I now get the following error on any php using sessions:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp /sess_1d374c43a0f726cd43776f9f92485bec, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/continou/public_html/control/index.php on line 4
One thing I noticed it did was turn on PHPSuexec which generally causes problems for me. I turned that off and the error response changed slightly (to above) but the problem is not solved.
I tried rebooting the server. /tmp does exist, I am now rebuilding apache in hopes that corrects the problem.

I've got a vps running centos 5.3 on an openvz platform. I've been using a simple set of iptables rules but recently the host moved me to a new server and I'm having issues with my firewall. I'm pretty sure it's the firewall since if I stop iptables or flush the rules everything works properly.
my rules:
Code:
!/usr/bin/env iptables-restore
*filter
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
The last rule continues with all the other used protocols (pop3/dns/http/etc)
The problem is incoming connections with should be allowed from by the related,established rule aren't permitted. If I use wget,ftp,ping, or dig from my shell they all report a time out. For example dig w3.org gives no server reachable. If I capture all dns requestes with tcpdump I see the outgoing request to dns and I see the incoming data but dig still reports a timeout. Since tcpdump sits before iptables and I have no output filtering it seems that my input filter isn't seeing the related/established state of dig and allowing the results in.
But, what's the solution? Do I need to ask the vps provider for something specific? If so what?
Or is there a better way to write my iptables rules to compensate for this problem?

I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?

I'm using .htaccess file and mod_auth_mysql for protection of a site, where the old users are in flat passwd file and the new ones are in DB, so i need both the standart .htpasswd check and if the user is not there check in the mysql DB
well here is how currently my htaccess file looks:
------------------------
AuthName "Password Protected Pages"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/edited/.htpasswd
<limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</limit>
AuthMySQLAuthoritative Off
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthMySQLHost domain-removed.com
AuthMySQLDB username-removed
AuthMySQLUser user-removed
AuthMySQLPassword edited
AuthMySQLUserTable members
AuthMySQLNameField username
AuthMySQLPasswordField password
AuthMySQLPwEncryption none
AuthMySQLUserCondition "status=1 AND siteid=2"
require valid-user
----------------
but the site doesn't accept neither the flat passwd file users, neither the ones from the nats DB, it just pop-ups the password dialog box again, whicih means that the password is not accepted
For the users i tested with i double checked that they DO exist in the htpasswd file or in the DB, so its not that
also, cause the site and the DB are on different servers, i have authorised the first one to query the mysql db at the second, so its not from that as well
i have removed the sensitive information (domains, users and passwords from the sample code i pasted here)
so...i'm totally lost here and any directions or ideas will be highly apprecicated

Accept If state of connection is ESTABLISHED,RELATED
Drop If protocol is ICMP

this in my Incoming packets rules..
Outgoing packets are all accepted..
so if i made connection from the server the input rules shuld accept them because it is established and related connection.. But it wont work.. any ideas about it..?

I was asked by a user why he only saw a page with 'related links' when he went to the web site. I checked and saw the same thing if I typed www.domain.tld. If I just typed domain.tld, the page displayed fine. In trying different things tonite, I cleared my cache and now neither url works.
I am using Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5.3. If I click the 'Preview' button on the panel, everything looks great. If I click the 'Open' button, I get the 'related links' page.Today, the shcnf.com link seems to be working fine and the 'Open' button in Parallels Plesk Panel works, but the www.shcnf.com link is still showing a 'related links' page.
My DNS settings show:
shcnf.com record type: A value: 198.144.188.31
www.shcnf.com record type: CNAME value: shcnf.com
I do not currently have a preferred domain set in my hosting settings. I tried setting one the other night with no luck, though I was also playing with the DNS settings (I tried setting www.shcnf.com to an A value with the IP, hoping to force it to work).

I think the wrong text is displayed for the option "Remove Domain Alias".
In Plesk 11.5.30 Update #13, in a Webspace, on the Websites & Domains tab, if I click an alias, a window appears for the alias with the option to "Remove Domain Alias". If I move the cursor over the text "Remove Domain Alias", or click on the link, I see a pop-up: Removing this website will also delete all related files, directories, and web applications from the server.
I think this is incorrect because removing an alias should not remove any files, directories, and web applications.

How to hide from our clients (end users: Plesk customers/resellers) any message related to Apache configuration files failed, like this one:
"Error: Web server configuration for some of your domains may be inconsistent. Please contact server administrator to resolve the problem."
We already see the message within Plesk admin interface, so our customers don't really need to see that, as there's nothing they can do for that.

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?

I am planning to host my personal website which will be a bunch of static pages for the time being with the possibility of moving to PHP/Pearl CMS later.
For this, I think that a basic hosting plan of about .5-1GB space and 5-10GB bandwidth would be well enough.
Can you please suggest me a host which would cost around 2-3$/month and has a moderately good service? I came across companies like Umbrahosting and HostPC which are cheap. Do you have anything to say about them?
Moreover, some hosts give combo offers of webspace+domain registration. Is it wise to register the domain through the host or to register it separately through godaddy etc?
