Connecting To Local Server With Virtual Machines
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?

Preconfigured Virtual Machines
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.

Connecting To My Server
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
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
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.

Connecting To A Server From A Proxy Server
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
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
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
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
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

Local Mysql Server Name, IP Or Localhost
I am using localhost as mysql server name on my config file. then, when I enter [url], the address will automatically change to[url]that obviously getting error. when I change the mysql server name from localhost to the server public IP, everything seems ok. My sql is 4.1.x with php 4.4.7, is that any way I may use localhost instead of IP? or is there any potential danger using IP?

Different Local Remote Server Types
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?

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.

Updating Access Databases On Local Web Server
I am using Windows XP Pro, and since I updated to Internet Explorer 7 I am having problems getting web sites to work on my PC in Internet Explorer using the local IIS web server. These web sites are using ASP and Access databases. The two errors I get are: Operation must use an updateable query. or Cannot modify the design of table 'TABLE_NAME'. It is in a read-only database. (they are not read only!) Does anyone know how I can get this working so I can test my web sites locally before uploading them to the live sites?

Connecting Several Services Together,
I've purchased a NL Master reseller (about to purchase one in the US) and then a small VPS to see what more I could do, after transferring my site over to the VPS from the NL server I thought I'd come up with the idea with selling master reseller accounts, (both from NL and US master reseller services) the reason I came up with is because the VPS isn't to large to really do anything but seems perfect to keep a database, payment portal, WHMCS, my site, and hopefully all of my client information. What i want to do is somehow connect all 3 together so that when i do create a new client in LxAdmin I can select witch server I want to create it on and what package/permissions and what not, all from the VPS. Example: LxAdmin -> create client -> fills out form basically similar that to the one in WHM Resellers/VPS run CentOS Linux WHM: 11.24.2 cPanel: 11.24.4-R35075 CENTOS 5.2 i686 virtuozzo So basic question, is all this possible ? this including domains/email/ftp/ect.

Connecting Time Issue
When traffic to my website gets heavy, connecting to the server really slows down. But, when connected, the site loads very fast and smooth. So why does it take like 4-12 seconds to connect to my server when traffic is heavy, and once connected it runs fast and smooth? I run Apache 2.2.3 on Debian 4. HostnameLookups is set to OFF. I have turned off all of the modules that I don't need, too. It also has MySQL 5.0 installed and is being used.

Virtual Dedicated Server
What is the difference between virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server? I know that a dedicated server means you have the physical computer as your server whileas virtual dedicated server means that they separate the physical computer into various parts and you have control over one of those separated parts. But my question is mainly on the functionality of a virtual dedicated server and a dedicated server. What can you do on a dedicated server that you can't do on a virtual dedicated server?

Virtual Server Setup
I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting. What is the best option for doing this? I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager" Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install? Totally new to virtualization.

Connecting To Remote MySQL Failing
I'm facing some odd issues with 2 servers located in the same datacenter. One server is the HTTP server, and every 5 minutes it works, then for 5 minutes Server One and Server Two (MySQL) hate each other and refuse to talk to each other. Not only can neither not connect to each others MySQL, but also neither can ping each other. The odd thing is, Server Three can however connect to the Server Two MySQL with no problems during this period. It seems to be just the communication between Server One and Server Two that keeps getting halted. I've tried "service iptables stop" to disable the firewall, and changing SELinux to disabled, but neither have fixed it.

Server Processor/Virtual Rack
I am trying to decide to run my heavy database community site over at a new host but am looking to create a good package customed for high bandwidth. I can decide from going with ONE Dual Quad-Core 2.0 Processor(4 gigs of ram) or TWO Intel Xeon 3210 2.1 GHz Quad Core Processor servers(4 gigs of ram each) with a Virtual Rack Container. With having both the lower servers on the virtual rack, will the site manage with the same power as the Dual Quad Core since it is on a rack?
