Is There Some Sort Of Rating Guide
Jul 9, 2008Is there some sort of rating guide (or site) that compares/rates performance and reliability of web hosts.
I just signed up with namecheap and the first three days were great but now it seems to be going down hill.
I've seen other sites with lists but they seem to be advertiser biased.
Web Hosting Company Start-up Guide
Mar 30, 2009I currently own my own hosting company using another companies servers, which is good, and I've learned a lot of the ins and outs of hosting, but there's a great deal I need to learn before I start Hosting using my own servers. Can anyone provide some good resources or books that might help me get on with my mission?

Jun 30, 2009So a few days ago we had the wonderful experience of migrating Virtual Private Servers from HyperVM to Virtuozzo. After spending endless hours attempting to migrate with vzmigrate, vzp2v and rsync we were getting very frustrated and were just about to give up. With this we decided to contact our datacenter SoftLayer who usually is able to help out. Like always they managed to rise to the challange and save the day providing us with a solution thay may not have been the best, but probably the only one. We must have searched the entire Internet looking for guides and after we found out a solution we knew it had to be posted so that the frustration we went through would never have to happen again. While this solution is a little timely and requires some work it actually isn't as bad as it sounds. Also we have created a little shell scripts that does a good amount of the migration for you. Below I have made step by step instructions so that there will no longer be "no answer" to this question. Also just to let you know we contacted Parallels and unfortunatly we were told that "I can not find anything in our knowledgebase". Basiclly useless support... they regurgiate their online knowledgebase to you. So below is the guide.
Pre-Requisites:
1. Download the Migration Kit zip that includes the shell scripts for the migration.
Migration Kit Download: [url]
2. You must create a new container in Virtuozzo for each HyperVM VPS that you would like to migrate. You MUST use the same VEID and I you need to keep the hostname the same. Also the OS TEMPLATE you pick DOES NOT MATTER!
If you are copying a customer HyperVM template don't worry cause the OS Template has no effect as far as I know. We transfered 30+ VPS's and the OS TEMPLATE made no difference.
3. Stop the container you created and mount it.
Code:
# vzctl stop <VEID>
#vzctl mount <VEID>
For LIVE MIGRATION SKIP TO STEP 4b.
4a. Stop the VPS on the source server (HyperVM) and mount it.
Code:
# vzctl stop <VEID>
#vzctl mount <VEID>
4b. Leaving the VPS running while migrating has a risk of posible database corruption. During our migration we did it this way and we experienced no issues so I think it is safe to say that in rare cases there may be problems but usually not.
5. Unzip the Migration Kit and be inside the folder where it was unziped.
6. Execute the shell script.
Code:
./migrate.sh <IP-ADDRESS>
IP-ADDRESS = the IP Address of the source VPS Node
7. Enter the CTID when the prompt requests it. (CTID = VEID)
8. Enter the root password for the server you are migrating from.
9. The script runs inside a screen session so to back out of it to do other things or start another migration you must hit:
Code:
CTRL + A + D
To list all the screens you have open.
Code:
# screen -ls
To enter a screen session
Code:
# screen -r SESS-ID
SESS-ID = the numbers before the period listed when you list all the open screens.
10. Once the migration is completed a broadcast message will alert you. Also if you check /var/log/migrate/migrate.log will contain all the migrations that have completed.
11. Once a migration has completed you must unmount the VPS and start it.
Code:
# vzctl umount <VEID>
# vzctl start <VEID>
If everything went "ok" than your VPS should start up without issues and should be just like it was on the old server. Lastly I would like to give credit to SoftLayer for the method of migration. Thanks again SoftLayer
How-To: Server Optimization Guide (2007)
Jan 24, 2007I'm sure by now most of you have read the Web Server Optimization Guide by Shaw Networks. It came in handy for me when I was first starting out, I reduced my load & memory usage by tonnes. I thought I would make a new thread with an updated How-To.
Recommended Tools/Programs:
Putty - Free SSH Client - [url]
WinSCP - Free SFTP and SCP Client - [url]
MySQL Optimization:
BACKUP:
cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.backup
Use Pico (pico /etc/my.cnf) or Download via WinSCP for editing,
Delete everything that is currently in the file and add the following...
Code:
[mysqld]
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
skip-locking
skip-innodb

Feb 18, 2008Is there a Windows GUI software for remote Admining servers that run on Red Hat Linux?
FYI: Currently I use Putty for remotely managing our servers.
So if you can recommend a GUI like Windows desktop software for remotely Admining servers running Red Hat Enterprise, I would very much appreciate that.
FYI: we have like 10 dedicated severs, so a desktop GUI that would allow one to monitor/manage multiple servers would be best. But if the GUI that you think is best can only remotely connect/manage one server at a time, requiring disconnecting to connect to the other server to Admin it, that is fine.
Also, I would love to hear what you think is the best book, best tutorial and reference guide for remotely Admining servers running RHEL? I am not looking for one of those books that are 1000 pages, but something that is a few 100 pages and can be read in 1 month assuming a few hours per day of reading.
HOWTO OpenVPN Setup Guide For FC3, FC4, FC5, CentOS And Others,connecting Via Windows
Apr 1, 2007I have had great difficulty in setting up OpenVPN, so I thought, when I finally do get it to work, I will write a HOWTO, so other can hopefully benefit…
This guide was done using a FC4 VPS, running on Xen, it will work on OpenVZ, all you need to do is ask your VPS provider to install “tun support”.
1.First of all get a few additional repos, If you already have your repos setup, skip this step
If you have Fedora 3, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 4, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 5, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have CentOS, follow the “additional third party CentOS repos”
[url]
Then issue these commands, each line is a new command, anything beginning with "#" are comments so dont try to execute those.
Code:
yum update
yum install openssl openssl-devel
# openssl and openssl-devel may be installed already… so don’t worry
2. Right, now you want to install OpenVPN, here are the commands,
Code:
yum install openvpn -y
#Now check that it works
service openvpn start
service openvpn stop
3. A few things to setup before you can make certificates, issue these commands,
Code:
find / -name "easy-rsa"
#you should get an output like this…
/usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa
#Now, make a copy of the easy-rsa directory, to /etc/openvpn/ ( make sure you #have put the right version number in i.e. mine was -2.0.7, change if needed)
cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
chmod 777 *
mkdir /etc/openvpn/keys
4. You need to edit the vars file, located in /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
You can use any editor you like, I used vi.
Change the line
Code:
export KEY_DIR=$D/keys
to
Code:
export KEY_DIR=/etc/openvpn/keys
Also at the bottom of this file you will see something similar to this,
Code:
export KEY_COUNTRY=US
export KEY_PROVINCE=CA
export KEY_CITY=SOMEWHERE
export KEY_ORG="My Org"
export KEY_EMAIL=me@mydomain.com
Change this to your own values.
5. Now its time to make the certificates, enter these commands
Code:
. ./vars
Code:
./clean-all
Code:
./build-ca
# just hit enter to the defaults apart from Common Name, this must be unique
# call it something like mydomain-ca
Code:
./build-key-server server
Code:
./build-key client1
# remember that common name must be unique e.g. use mydomain-client1
# and YES you want to sign the keys
Code:
./build-key client2
# do this step for as many clients as you need.
Code:
./build-dh
6. We are almost done now… right we need to create a few config files, you can download my template from here,
Code:
cd /etc/openvpn
Code:
wget www.designpc.co.uk/downloads/server.conf
# make sure you change a few things in the server.conf file, like DNS
# servers
Code:
touch server-tcp.log
~ this makes the log file..
Code:
touch ipp.txt
this makes the IP reservation list.
7. You need to make a few changes to OpenVPN itself. Go to..
Code:
cd /etc/init.d/
edit the openvpn file
#Uncomment this line (line 119)
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Add these lines below it, changing 123.123.123.123 to your public IP address,
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.3 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.4 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.5 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.6 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.7 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.8 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.9 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.10 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
Now install iptables if you don’t have it already,
Code:
yum install iptables
#test it
service iptables start
service iptables stop
8. Now for the client config files. If your client is a Windows machine, make sure you have installed OpenVPN, use the gui version, downloadable from here;
[url]
You need to copy a few files from the server to your client machine, here is the list, located in /etc/openvpn/keys/
## WARNING ## Use a secure way of transferring these files off the server, something like WinSCP.
ca.crt
client1.csr
client1.key
client1.crt
Put these files in this directory C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Now you need to make a client config, here is an example..
PHP Code:
clientdev tunproto tcp#Change my.publicdomain.com to your public domain or IP addressremote my.publicdomain.com 1194resolv-retry infinitenobindpersist-keypersist-tunca ca.crtcert client1.crtkey client1.keyns-cert-type server#DNS Options here, CHANGE THESE !!push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.123"push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.124"comp-lzoverb 3
Make sure you edit any of the lines with comments above them.
Call this file client1.opvn and put it in C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Make sure the file extension is .opvn not .txt
To connect right click on OpenVPN in the taskbar >> Connect
To test ping 192.168.2.1

It's seems the script is having issues extracting "csf.tgz", but I have no clue.
TBH, this is my first ever script and I'm surprised any of it works!
Howto: ASSP Installation In CPanel
Jan 29, 2007What is ASSP? ASSP is an Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy . The homepage can be found here. ASSP is a lightweight daemon that can filter mail based on various things such as SPF, RBLs, Bayesian word lists, as well as blocking email addresses from getting mail, or having mail filtered.
This tutorial will walk you through getting the admin interface for CPanel setup for ASSP. Currently, a paid user interface can be obtained here (note that I am in no way affiliated with, nor have I tried to use this UI, I am just offering the link to those that might find it useful)
Firstly, the setup:
You will need to activate Cpanel PRO (pro.cpanel.net/activate) for your server in order for this to fully work. This activation is currently free. Simply go to the previous mentioned URL and enter your IP address if you have not done so already.
Once you have activated CPanel PRO, go into whm->addon modules and check clamav connector, then click on "save". This will install clamav for you to use
Once you have done THIS, go to whm->service manager and UNcheck spamd (it is no longer necessary with ASSP), and again click on save/submit. Note that this IS optional, however the purpose of ASSP is to defeat spam before it GETS to SpamAssassin.
Once you have done THAT, go into whm -> tweak settings and uncheck SpamAssassin and BoxTrapper mail.
Secondly, the requirements:
ASSP needs certain perl modules established To install these, simply login (as root) to your server, and type the following
Code:
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Compress::Zlib
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Email::Valid
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::ReadBackwards
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::Scan::ClamAV
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SPF::Query
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Mail::SRS
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Tie::RDBM
/scripts/realperlinstaller Sys::Syslog
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Net::LDAP
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Time::HiRes
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Tie::DBI
Note that the --force is optional, however it will make sure you've got it installed. Do these one at a time as some of these have configurable options to them.
One more perl module is needed. Since the later versions of Net::DNS are known to cause issues with RBLs, SPFs and the like, it is advised to use 0.57 . This can be obtained by doing the following:
Code:
mkdir /usr/local/assp
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/tmp
cd /usr/local/assp/tmp
wget [url]
tar xzf Net-DNS-0.57.tar.gz
cd Net-DNS-0.57
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Do NOT remove the /usr/local/assp/tmp directory as when you update cpanel, it will try to auto update Net::DNS again, so you will want this intact.
Now, let's get with the program here and install ASSP:
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
unzip -d /usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/*
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/.DS_Store
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/__MACOSX
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/ASSP
rm -f ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
rm -f Win32-quickstart-guide.txt;rm -f freshclam.bat
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir pb
cd pb
touch denysmtp.txt
touch exportedextreme.txt
touch pbdb.black.db
touch pbdb.rbl.db
touch pbdb.white.db
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/notspam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/spam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors/notspam
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
chmod 755 start
wget [url]
chmod 755 stop
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
wget [url]
chmod 755 assp
The core of ASSP is now installed. However, the development versions have updated functions to use for users. Of course, this is completely optional, but is recommended completely. This can be done by the following in SSH
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp/
mv assp.pl assp.pl_old
mv spamdb spamdb.old
mv rebuildspamdb.pl rebuildspamdb.pl.old
mv repair.pl repair.pl.old
mkdir Data
mkdir Data/Lists
wget [url]
wget [url]
000F4555.2/rebuildspamdb.pl
wget [url]
wget [url]
mv assp.css images
wget [url]
cd Data/Lists
wget [url]
chmod u+x /usr/local/assp/*.pl
Now, let's get it up and running, and configure it, shall we?
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
/etc/init.d/assp start
You'll see ASSP sending out some messages and then doing nothing. This is ok, and it's the expected response. Now, we need to edit some stuff. Hit ctrl-c (cancel) to shut down ASSP
once it's stopped, you'll see the following file in the assp directory - assp.cfg . Edit that with whatever you want for an editor, something like:
Code:
nano assp.cfg
You want to change a few options immediately just to get it working
Look for the lines that are something like:
Code:
runAsGroup:=
runAsUser:=
and change them to be:
Code:
runAsGroup:=root
runAsUser:=root
Then look for the line that is
Code:
AsADaemon:=
and change it to
Code:
AsADaemon:=1
Now, let's change the password just so that we're secure:
look for the line that is
Code:
webAdminPassword:=nospam4me
and change that to
Code:
webAdminPassword:=insertrandompasswordhere
Now, let's tell ASSP to setup and accept mail for our domains. Look for the line something like
Code:
localDomains:=
and change that to be
Code:
localDomains:=file:/etc/localdomains
Almost there, just a couple more changes needed.
Look for the line that is something like
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:225
and change that to be
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
(or another port instead of 125, just REMEMBER the port!)
and one more change
change the line that looks like
Code:
listenPort:=125
to
Code:
listenPort:=25
Now save and exit the file. If you're using nano/pico, that would be ctrl-x , just make SURE to save the file before you exit!
Now, let's get ASSP fired up again
Code:
/etc/init.d/assp start
let's make sure you have assp starting on system boot:
Code:
chkconfig --add assp
Let's add a crontab to make sure that ASSP rebuilds the bayesian spam list
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
10 4 * * * cd /usr/local/assp;/usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl
Occasionally, what I've seen is ASSP will get "hung" on certain things and just kill itself. This fix will work for this, and make sure your ASSP installation is running smoothly
Open up another file on the server, my example will be /bin/asspcheck. In this file, add the following contents
Code:
assplog=/usr/local/assp/check.log
DATE=`date "+%m-%d-%y [%k:%M]"`
pidof=/usr/local/assp/pid
thispid=`cat $pidof`
if [ ! -d /proc/$thispid ];then
rm -rf $pidof;
/etc/init.d/assp start
echo "$DATE - ASSP - restarted" >> $assplog
else
echo "$DATE - ASSP - ok" >> $assplog
fi
Now, chmod the file itself
Code:
chmod u+x /bin/asspcheck
Now, make sure it's called every 60 seconds. Add this to your root crontab
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
* * * * * /bin/asspcheck
Now, let's go BACK into WHM and setup the variables needed to get exim to use ASSP
In exim configuration editor, click on "advanced editor"
Clear out EVERYTHING from all of the existing boxes. Keeping these with data can cause ASSP to not function as it should
When you've done that, add the following to the top box:
Code:
# assp
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125
If you changed this variable to something else
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
put in the other port, NOT 125, so it would look like 127.0.0.1.whateverporthere
Click on Save
Exim will restart and you now have a working installation of assp
Now, let's go to it and work with it a bit, shall we?
go to [url], enter the user admin and the password you changed nospam4me to. This will get you logged in and you can tweak the settings as you feel necessary.
ASSP is a great and powerful proxy for any mail server, which blocks using RBLS, whitelists, etc. It is advisable to setup the email interface and let your customers know of this so that you can get them to help you in reporting and addressing spam.
Parts of this howto were taken from this page, however much of that data has been found to be outdated as far as downloads from CVS and the like go, and I've added quite a bit of useful information into it as well.
Go through the ASSP configuration VERY carefully, and ONLY change what you're sure of.
Start with the RBLs, increase the list to 5 and max hits to 2 as suggested.
If you notice problems with this or know how it might be better, hey, feel free to post in here and I'll keep it as updated as possible :)

Is There A "Beginner's Guide To Web Hosting/Management"
Mar 20, 2008I can find lots of info on getting started on designing a web site but not much on getting started on publishing/managing the site.
I have been bumbling through trial and error for several years now. I was on infinology with hsphere for awhile. I am now on hostgator with cpanel 10. (Shared-babycroc)
I would like the equivalent of a dummies book that addresses all those pre-made directories and files that come with an account, discussions on permissions, password protecting directories, hotlinking, email account management, add-on domains, subdomains, etc.
I would really like a basic overview so that I could have a better chance of understanding the forum discussions and help sites I do find.
