I have setup a CentOS 4.5 on a server with no fancy options enabled.
The only thing I have is the ssh service running on port 22.
The server comes up fine but is inaccessible until I login into the console and pings an external IP or domain.
Once I have done this, I am able to remotely login into the server via ssh.
And then few minutes after, the server becomes unavailable again until I do the same routine...ping an external IP or domain.
Anybody have successfully installed GPAC in Centos system?
View 0 Replies View RelatedMy company and I are currently discovering Plesk on a CentOS 6.6 based system. We are migrating from an old system on which FTP usernames could hold uppercase letters, which apparently is not the case in Plesk 11 (or is it because of CentOS?).
Anyway, as we can't change these FTP account names, I was thinking about creating a rule with mod_rewrite in the proftpd.conf file.
So the question is: how can I reinstall/reconfigure proftpd with this module activated? I don't even know where to find the corresponding package (which repo, correct version, etc...)
I have a task of converting a current Win Server based apache server from multiple IP based virtual hosts to a full name based virtual hosting.I'm famiilar with the steps but I was wondering if there are any gotchas in Windows that I should be aware of. It seems that now matter what I change in the new config it doesn't work or work as expected.

Ie RAID 10 / SAN with good support willing to pay upto 70 USD per month.
I don't need them to be managed, just very reliable with excellent and reactive support. I have looked on the forums and cannot find any that suit my needs.
I came across this very detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to secure a Plesk based VPS. It's up-to-date and was just written so the info is accurate.
Here's the link to the full tutorial: ...
Few things I found that :
- they do not support mod_rewrite so that url cannot be rewritten or something like it
- they do not support unlimited subdomains, I do not mean actually unlimited, but 100 or 200 (eg. you allot usera.yoursite.com to some 200 or 500 members of your site) should not be a taboo, but Zeus administrator seems to think that can be a resource issue
- addition of space, currently apache hosts seem to be very liberal, and zeusbased ones not so, does zeus server typically still run on hard drives with lesser space
Anyone has any recommendation for Zeus, and if so, any recent experience with such host, who has been in business for last 8-10 years and also runs a support forum on their site where users freely communicate?
The reason for this post is some slight unhappiness with my current US-based server provider. In the last sixth months, they've upped their prices over 30%, turned my server off for 6 and 24 hours by accident on two separate respective occasions (then tried to cover it up), before finally giving me some less than brilliant customer service.
That, combined with the fact that the pound is rapidly weakening against the US dollar has led to me paying for an overly expensive server, and also leaves to me wanting to move to a different and UK-based provider.
Now, I don't need (nor can afford) a massively powerful server - the one I'm currently on is fairly basic (single core Athlon, 512mb RAM, 10mbit and a fair whack of bandwidth) - but I do need the control it provides. A VPS providing a similar amount of processing power could be considered, but obviously on the guarantee that the provider isn't overselling etc. I'd like the server to come with DirectAdmin, to simplify migration a bit.
It's also important that the UK-based provider actually has their servers in the UK, rather than just being registered in the UK - the former would still leave me rather vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuation.
Does anyone have any suggestions: either to swing me one way in the dedi/vps decision, or for some decent providers?
i am looking for dns hosting with redirect to a server in Europe or usa based on location.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI usually host just PHP but a new client needs to use ASP and SQL Server. So I urgently need to find a UK based reliable Windows Managed Dedicated Server for around £100 to £150 per month.
The site only gets 1000 visits per week and runs a multi community from a 500MB SQL Server database.
I'm scared to go with a cheap host like 1&1 or Fasthosts but also think Rackspace may be way too expensive.
Is a dedicated server overkill for such a site?
Anyone know of a solid relaible host that can offer this with great 24/7 skilled support and daily backups.
I need to have a solution for client by Tuesday or they may go elsewhere.

Just wondering if there is a list / guide on what files should be set to either chattr +i or chattr +a?
You could go a little 'crazy' and chattr +i all your major binaries......however my only issue with this is that yum updates will fail until you manually chattr -i and update.
what not to chattr +i or chattr +a?

What are the ways to find out why a CentOS 5.3 server running cPanel suddenly went offline.
I ran "last reboot -n 10" and "last" and grepped for shutdown calls, but nothing. /var/log/messages.1 reveals nothing as well.
I decided to go with Cent OS after reading about it in the forums here, but I've had nothing but problems trying to install it. I first tried to do a net install but the installation took nearly an entire day because it would keep popping up messages about corrupt files when downloading the package files. Eventually it just gave up or rebooted because I came in in the morning to find it at a message saying "No OS installed". I then burned all 7 installation disks and tried that way, still got a few of the corrupt file messages (but far fewer than the previous time) and made it through the installation only to still have it say "no os installed" again after the reboot. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was not installing a boot loader (there is no other OS installed anyways) but when I tried to reinstall a third time, this time with the boot loader, it now says that the CD drive (USB) is already mounted on tty2 and I can't even start the installation? WTH!

I want to know how can I setup a VPN server on a centos 4 server through ssh?
not willing to sell vpn accounts, just for personal use.
I've searched a lot, but mostly centos was not listed, and the tutorials were so complicated.
i have a problem with all my server with RHEL4 or Centos 4.4, when u upload small files on the server the system report a different size, this is a little example
> drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 May 10 11:11 ./
> drwxr-x--- 12 user nobody 4096 May 10 11:16 ../
> -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 7514 May 10 11:11 cred.js
total is about 7+4+4= 15kb
but when i do du -h in the folder
root@ares [/home/user/www/]# du -h
20K
where are this 5kb of difference? i have note that this happend when a site have small files inside, example when u install joomla about 7mb on my server it is 18Mb, the server size block is set to 4kb
We like to create the mail accounts through php scripts in mywebsite.com website. So we request you to setup the Qmail with Vpopmail server in our server. As we have the following packages are already installed.
1. Qmail
2. Courier POP/IMAP
3. Horde Webmail client
Please install the vpopmail in the ourserver and configure these four packages to create the mail accounts via php script. So that we can use vaddsuer command in php to create the mail ids annd also imap_open commands to access the mails.
Our server is configured with Plesk control panel.
The installation is very urgent, as our website is going live sooner.
I will make the decision sooner and let us know the cost, as it will be given to the provider sooner.

I asked this question before in the past and I still have to ask it: has anyone used both Ubuntu Server Edition and CentOS? I would like to compare both operating system, in terms of speed, performance, security, and stability.
I have decided to build my new server and use Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit operating system after using CentOS 64-bit operating system for a bit over a year now.
The reason why I have chosen to use Ubuntu Server Edition is because of the operating system's fabulous reputation among desktop PC users, and its large and helpful support community.
Support is what I need most, and Ubuntu seems to have it. I also am not the best with Linux yet, so it will definitely be needed. Ubuntu also seems to update its software faster than other operating systems.
I hope my decision to switch from CentOS 64-bit to Ubuntu Server Edition 64-bit will not be in vain.
Can anyone compare these two 64-bit operating systems and possibly link me to some reviews, comparisons, and/or benchmark results?
i want to ask any any setting or script can help medo the purpose?
i hope i can set a cron to trace server load every five minutes,
and help me record the load number on a log file,
by the way,
i can trace the past load of my server when i need the data.
I've just signed up for my first VPS with CMBHosting and the person in charge, Chetan Bakhru, seems like a genuinely nice, friendly and helpful person. In other words this new service look promising at the moment.
However ...
When I signed up I selected his CentOS/LXAdmin plan because I figured that with a pre-installed control panel like LXAdmin I could avoid as much ssh as possible and simply get "up and running" more quickly. Plus I have some experience managing my own CentOS development machine, and I know that a special software package I plan to install runs on CentOS "out of the box" -- so I was expecting good things from this new VPS.
But when my account was created LXAdmin did NOT create an FTP admin account for me with root access to my VPS!
Instead it created an account that drops me into web server's document root folder, and this is far too limiting for me. I really need FTP root server access -- and I'm surprised that LXAdmin did not provide this access by default.
Not only that, but it appears that I cannot create a new FTP account that has any deeper access than the existing admin account!
Does anyone with LXAdmin experience know if this is the way LXAdmin normally works by default? Or is this perhaps a special configuration created by my new VPS host?

I found htop much more easier to understand than top and would like to install it on my cPanel CentOS server. I tried executing following command from root shell:
yum install htop
and got following output:
..................Reading repository metadata in from local files
Excluding Packages in global exclude list
Finished
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: htop
Nothing to do
Not sure if htop is available for CentOS cpanel servers? If so how can I install it?
