CentOS - Can't Get VNC To Display Properly
I installed VNC on my VPS using a guide I found here. I installed KDE. It all works but when I view the VPS through VNC on my windows PC the text on the screen appears to be squares as if its a non supported language.

I've uploaded a screenshot to better help you understand what I mean.

VNC Configurations
I have been reading various articles on these forums regarding the issue of installing a VNC server on my VPS using GNOME. I have been following a guide produced by a member called TouchVPS and so far I have had no problems, I have sucessfully completed all of the stages below, although when I connect to my server via UltraVNC Viewer I am presented with a grey screen and a black cross. Further looking into the issue, I decided to run gnome-session to see whether the application would execute in memory (via SSH) and encountered the following message: Code: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display I realise this might be becuase I am trying to launch from the shell, but was wondering whether it had anything to do with the problem. Any how here is the intructional guide I have followed: Quote: for centos/fedora: 1. yum -y update 2. yum -y install gnome* 3. yum -y install vnc-server vnc nano now use: 4. vncserver - set your VNC password the results will be: ==== xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority New 'desktop:1 (root)' desktop is desktop:1 Creating default startup script /root/.vnc/xstartup Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/desktop:1.log === that means the VNC is up and running on port 5901 now use: 5. killall -9 Xvnc 6. nano .vnc/xstartup delete twm & and replace with gnome-session &, save. 7. vncserver results will be like this: ==== Warning: desktop:1 is taken because of /tmp/.X1-lock Remove this file if there is no X server desktop:1 New 'desktop:2 (root)' desktop is desktop:2 Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/desktop:2.log ===== that means your vnc is up and running on port 5902 and you are ready to go now . this are easy steps i use them in so many virtual servers with centos fedora and always work without a problem. or contact me and i will be more than happy to install it for you free. I have completed all of the steps in this tutorial and I am running CentOS 5 if this helps.

IP Not Being Blocked Properly
I need to block a specific IP: 93.6.224.242 It adds fine when I do: iptables -A INPUT -s 93.6.224.242 -j DROP However, the IP is still accessing files and pages on the site according to Apache: When I ban other IP's they are blocked from accessing anything on the server (e.g. it wouldn't even reach Apache level because of firewall), but this IP just isn't banning properly.

Folders Display Permissions
I would to know how I can change the display permissions for my website sub folders and files from public view, for instants The current is you can access to any folders or files once trying access to any folders in my website like open this link www.yoursite.com/photos/ will see all sub-folders and files in this “photos” folder also you can see the other folders in another level by going to the top level folders! but I think there is a way to enforce my users to write the full path of any selected photo or file they want without browsing my folders and sub-folder.

Domain Not Resolving Properly
A client recently moved one of their domains to one&one (night mare I know) he then asked us to repoint the domain name to our servers using out name servers. We have done this and it is not resolving to our server. The problem is that the site is no longer showing and their emails are down. I used a domain dossier and the DNS record looks like it should be changed but I'd like some confirmation on this.

Main Site Page Display
About the 28th September the host that I was with decided to move servers and did not inform me of this. They tried moving my site and after 18 hours of being offline decided not move my site. It came back offline, only the main page displayed but nothing else works, if you click on anything it goes to 404 page error. Only problem is, the page is displaying data up to 23rd September. I have a blog and a forum connected and both seem to have lost all the data from the 23rd to 28th September. I have since moved host since the previous host not only did not inform me that they were moving, they didnt even bother taking a backup. I have been with my new host for over a week now so the propogation is definitely complete. Now the problem is whenever I open my blog, it keeps pointing to 23rd September (I have added a lot of posts since then). If I refresh the page, then it will show the latest posts. This is not a problem with the forum though, it works fine.

SMTP Not Working Properly On IIS
I set up my own SMTP server on IIS. Most of the time it sends and recieves the email OK. From time to time, the mails bounce. For example if I send to someone at Hanmail (major korean provider) then it always bounces. Similarly, sometimes people say they sent an email to the server and it bounced back to them. I guess something is not set up right, maybe MX record or some other mysterious thing. How can I troubleshoot/solve this? I MUST fix this so I will be back to check on this thread often,

Cron Job Not Working Properly
I have a slight problem with a cron job I have setup. I wanted to save a copy of iptables every hour to a folder, so I created a script... here it is: Code: varDate=`date +%y%m%d` varTime=`date +%H%M` filename="IPtablesBackup-$varDate-$varTime" iptables-save -c > /etc/IPtablesBackup/$filename and called is Backup-Script.sh Now if I just execute the script will in root ./Backup-Script.sh I get a new file with the correct filename and iptables info is saved ! Great ! So then I thought, how can I setup this automatically every hour. Which leads me on to my problem. I inputted "crontab -e" added this line Code: 59 * * * * /etc/IPtablesBackup/Backup-Script.sh The problem is the script is run, I know because it creates a new file with the correct time and date, however the file is empty? I have set Backup-Script.sh to 777 and owner and group are both root?

Geting Top To Display Script Name Or URL
Is there a way to get the URL or script name to display in top? On other servers I've seen some top output using -c which would list the name of the PHP script being run, for example: nobody 19 4 36796 17m 4656 S 0 1.7 0:04.60 /usr/bin/php /home/site/public_html/index.php How do I set that up? Is it possible to do it for httpd also?

Windows Customers, Ensure You Are Properly Secured
There has been a recent rash of Windows 2003 customers being hacked and having "UTorrent" installed, as well as having their Administrator password changed, rendering the server inaccessible. At the moment, we have yet to determine the vulnerability in Windows allowing the hackers to breach the systems however we believe it is related to RDP. We highly suggest you are complying with the following, to lessen your risk of having your server compromised: 1) Run RDP on a non-standard port [url] 2) Run a software firewall on your machine, blocking ALL unnecessary ports on your server. You should only have the bare minimum open. 3) Limit any non-public access to your IP and trusted IP's only. This will prevent any other outside networks or servers from reaching your machine through ports which are not meant to be public (http for example) 4) Ensure you have FULL updates for your Windows O/S, immediately. 5) Ensure any 3rd party software you are running, has also been fully updated to the latest version including any patches. Please make sure these suggestions are implemented immediately to lessen you risk of being hacked by the current wave of exploits.

.JSP Page Will Not Display On GoDaddy Linux Hosting
I can not get a .JSP page to display on a deluxe hosted GoDaddy account. I have tried the most basic page. Just to make sure I do not have a type-o, I even used an HTML page to direct me. Here is the HTML page that has the hyperlink. This page displays fine. Code: <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Here is a test page <a href="test.jsp">Test JSP</a> </body> </html> Here is the JSP page that can not be displayed. Code: <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" [url] <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Here is a test JSP page </body> </html> When I click on the link, I get the HTTP 400 error saying the webpage could not be found. I know the code works since I have tested it locally. Plus the code is very simple. I am very stumped here and have tried GoDaddy’s help multiple times. They keep telling me it is a scripting issue. I am not sure how it can be a scripting issue because there is no script here. Basically, it is an HTML page with a .JSP extension.

Windows Program To Display Big WARNING If Computer IP Is Not As Expected
I have some customers who use a VPN to connect to the internet securely. (They live in a restricted country.) So when they connect to the VPN, it gives them a new IP, and when they go to "whatismyip.com" it shows the IP of the VPN server, as expected. The problem is that sometimes their IP changes back to their local ISP without any indication. The VPN still appears to work (green lights are displayed in the VPN icon in the sytem tray), but their IP is now the local ISP providers, which means they are not fully "protected" any more. And that is bad. So, what I'm thinking is to find a Windows program or script or something that runs every x minutes.. and checks to see what is the current IP. If it isn't as expected (the VPN server's IP), then a big red warning window would start flashing on the screen, so they can then reboot or restart the VPN. Does anyone know of such a program? (BTW - they are using openVPN, latest version. And yes -- it works properly 99% of the time.. but for some reason the IP just changes back to local ISP for no apparent reason. The log does not show any errors or helpful indicators.)
