Connecting To Local Server With Virtual Machines

Nov 9, 2007

How do you go about setting up virtual machines so that they can see sites hosted on the host machine?

I've got Virtual PC 2007 and the disk image that MS supply for testing IE6 on Vista machines and I'm having trouble accessing my local Apache server (set up with XAMPP). Until recently I was able to set the XP VM's LAN settings to use a proxy server with the IP address of the host machine, but I got migrated to ADSL2+ yesterday by my ISP and now that's no longer working.

To access my sites locally, I set up httpd.conf like this:

PHP Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>  DocumentRoot "C:PathToFolder"  ServerName siteName.local</VirtualHost><Directory "C:PathToFolder">    Options FollowSymLinks    AllowOverride None    Order allow,deny    Allow from all</Directory>

and then in Windows hosts file I add 127.0.0.1 siteName.local.

So what's the best way of getting the host and VMs to talk to each other?

Apache :: Access Manual From Other Local Machines?

Jun 25, 2014

Allow from 192.168.0.*

to the httpd-manual.conf to enable access by other machines on my network but it seems to be hard coded to localhost only.

Is there something else I can add to httpd-manual.conf to enable it or do I need to copy manual folder to the htdocs folder and then restrict that <Directory> ?

Preconfigured Virtual Machines

Jul 29, 2007

Anyone know where to find preconfigured virtual machines? I'm looking for Cent OS 5 preconfigured with all the normal stuff (http, php, mysql, bind). I could set this all up myself but surely someone is in the business of creating preconfigured VMs?

I don't know all the precautions to take as far as securing a linux box, so a VM that is fairly secure like this would be very nice. I'm sure someone is already doing this, I just have yet to find them.

I think I'm going to use VMWare, but if the preconfigured VMs is for another virtual software, I'll reconsider.

How Do I Configure Dedicated IP's On Virtual Machines Running On A CentOS5 Host

May 24, 2009

How do I configure dedicated IP's on Virtual Machines running on a CentOS5 Host?

I installed VMWare Server 2 almost without a problem using no GUI, I now have the web interface for the VMWS2 and any machine I create and run on it seems to do so without a problem.

The thing is, I can't connect or know how to configure this virtual network so I end up using 2 dedicated IPs on the Virtual Machine.

Connecting To My Server

Oct 21, 2009

We are currently having a server with serverloft and as we are in the trial phase have just a few trial websites hosted on it. Now since today we have a curious issue on one of our website

It is not being accessible via a particular network of computers even though till yesterday this network of computers was able to connect to the website.

The website is working fine from all other computers and networks that we are trying to access it from. Now my question is how is this possible. The DNS is configured correctly as the website is being accessed by other networks and has been hosted on this server for quite some time

Also this same network of computers was able to access this website until a few hours ago No changes have been made to any IP firewall or any other server settings at our end.

When we run a tracert from this network it says Unable to resolve target system name
I dont know if the blame lies with the ISP as till yesterday this network was able to access everything fine

Backup Server, Connecting

Aug 4, 2007

I got my backup server yesterday. It's connected to the second NIC on my main server, where I have all of my domains/accounts.

The server provider gave me a password and a ip address to the backup server, 192.168.x.x

I have tried to log in to the backup server with ssh and ftp from my main server.
Nothing happens, I can't connect.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought it just was to log in to my main server, and then ssh or ftp to the backup server.

Connecting Domain To Dedicated Server

Apr 21, 2009

I have a dedicated server and a domain I bought from godaddy. The dedicated server currently runs from an IP. So if I were to visit 79.xxx.xxx.xxx/whm, I would be able to access WHM. However, how do I change the IP to go to a domain? So when I go to the domain xxxxx.com/whm I go to the server's whm, and so that I can use the domain to host my site.

Read on another forum, that this can solve the problem

/etc/rc.d/init.d/imaps restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/imap restart

-bash: /etc/rc.d/init.d/imaps: No such file or directory

-bash: /etc/rc.d/init.d/imap: No such file or directory

telnet localhost 143 for imap or 993 for imap over ssl

Usage: telnet [-8] [-E] [-K] [-L] [-X atype] [-a] [-d] [-e char] [-k realm]
[-l user] [-f/-F] [-n tracefile] [-r] [-x] [host-name [port]]

Also Xinetd restart don't help

[root@server etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]

Looks like that Imap isn't installed ?
Correct me if i'm wrong ..............

Plesk 12.x / Windows :: Setup FTP Access - Connecting To Server?

I setup FTP access on Plesk, then when i try connect to the server it seems to be trying to access through a old installation on FileZilla Beta server manager, that was obviously installed on the server a while back. I can only think it is not using which ever FTP manager Plesk uses.

Connecting To A Server From A Proxy Server

May 20, 2007

to upload some documents to my server.

Typically I have no problem doing this through Filezilla back in the states because I have a direct internet connection. However, where I am currently living I must go through a Proxy server.

I first tried connecting to the server with everything unchanged from back home and of course it didn't work. Next I went under settings and changed the proxy settings by selecting SOCKS4 (guessing), entering the host address for the Proxy server and the port number, but still no luck. I've also tried SOCKS4A and SOCKS5 with no luck.

I've also had similar problems with other less important software like AIM. Here I can also configure proxy settings, but it still does not work. My browsers work fine, but of course they were also configured with the proxy settings.

Contacting Peerless Machines

Mar 15, 2008

I've been trying to get hold of Nick at Peerless Machines for some weeks regarding a service I have purchased being significantly different than what was advertised. I have received some replies, each after several days, but they have been unsatisfactory in my opinion and nothing has picked up.

About a week ago I was asked for my Live Messenger address so that we could discuss the matter there, but after forwarding it to Nick and waiting several days I have received nothing. Their website also does not publish any significant contact details, and their billing system is disfunctional.

Does anyone have functional, direct contact details for Nick at Peerless Machines? A telephone number or Live Messenger address would be great.

Diskless Machines In Your Environment

Jul 17, 2007

In your environment, have you ever used diskless machines (e.g. booted with BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP) for any reason? Where in your environment are you making use of them (e.g. what types of servers - web, application, database, DNS, etc...), and how has it turned out for you?

Has it actually yielded any of the promised benefits that the literature on them says, or was it a pain to set up and maintain?

Any interesting use cases on what you use them for and, as importantly, what are your criteria for determining whether a particular type of server should be diskless or not?

As this forum is filled with people with lots of experience running hosting businesses or their own web applications and therefore have managed thousands of machines between yourselves, I figured this is an appropriate and interesting question to ask. I'm hoping to get insights from here that I can't get from reading any old web article.

Incompetence From PC-Core.net/Peerless Machines

Jul 25, 2008

In recent weeks Peerless Machines was sold by a competent owner to PC-Core.net. Since that time, the server performance has been HORRIBLE, responses have been UNACCEPTABLY delayed, and none of their systems work.

They moved all shared and reseller clients over to a PC-Core sever. They had MySQL settings so tight that their own Kayako support desk didn't even function. Each time I tried to submit a ticket, their SQL server had "gone away."

When I contacted support (finally...manually through e-mail), the support responses were incoherent and ignorant.

I decided to cancel... but apparently that was too difficult of a task for them to complete.
I cancelled my account on July 14th. I received multiple e-mails from them saying that my invoice (due on the 20th) was overdue. When I replied to the bill, they said that the had no record of my account and that no invoice had been generated. Hmm.

So, I got two other e-mails informing me that my bill STILL had not been paid.

Please beware. Peerless Machines is no longer peerless..... It's now owned by PC-Crap . net!

Stay away....

Reassure Two DNS Machines (a Primary And A Secondary) With Iptables

Dec 22, 2006

I would like to reassure two DNS machines (a primary and a secondary) with iptables

By default I block everything, but even with rules for the port 53, it blocks the queries needing to resolve via the primary, and the secondary does not manage to transfer the zones of the primary …

DNS are on public ip, but to simplify, we are going to say that:

The primary DNS is: 192.168.0.10
The secondary DNS is: 192.168.0.20

Here are iptables rules(sliders) which I have at present:

iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -X

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i lo --source 127.0.0.1 --destination 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT

Thus with these rules, I have quite a lot of problems (resolutions, transfersof zones)
I found these rules on a forum, that seems to be interesting but as I do not know there not iptable, I ignore if it is what I miss or not.

For information here is all the same what I found (not tested):

#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.20/255.255.255.255 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.0.10 -dport 53 -m state state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.10/255.255.255.255 --sport 53:65535 -d 192.168.0.20 -dport 1024:65535 -m state state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

PS: server are under Linux Mandrake

Can't Access My Local Web Server By Its External IP

I have a local web server that I want to make available outside of my local network of two computers. I configured NAT at my router, configured the firewall. I Typed the external IP and got nothing, while I still was able to access my web server by typing "localhost", I tried both IIS and Apache, but what is interesting is that fact that the other people can access my web server via that external IP, I just cannot access it from my local network.

Different Local Remote Server Types

Mar 22, 2007

I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one!

I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage).

This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing.

I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same.

Am I right to go ahead and not worry about this?

Apache :: Local Server Works Once And Then Won't Again

Oct 3, 2013

I found a socket available other than 80 which would not allow me to use. I set it in the conf file as 1800 and then go to apache/bin directory and load httpd.exe. When I go to the browser, I have to type in http://localhost:1800 for it to work once. If I close the browser and try again, or I try a php file, it says it can't find localhost. I have to stop httpd.exe and reload, then it will work once.

Do I have to find a way to use socket 80 for it to work?
