Creating/Managing Cron Tasks With PHP
I want to create a simple PHP script to manage cron jobs. Say I want to create a front end like a control panel.
I know, many of the WHT members are using custom coded control panels, and surely they have implemented this already.
What is the right approach to do it ?
- Using exec() function and execute commands
- Write directly to /var/spool/cron/<username>

Cron Run Php Scripts
I have my own server. I create php file for adding cronjobs. I checked /etc/cron.deny and /etc/cron.allow. both of them is empty so no problem. I execute the php script but nothing : I check with crontab -u user l and it told me no cronjobs for that user. When I access as root from ssh and try teh same command, it works fine. I don't understand how to fix that.

Cron Jobs Not Executing PHP Files
I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account). In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this: /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email: /home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory /home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

Managing Two Servers In One Domain
I'm trying to set up a new site on a new server, primarily informational, while maintaining the old order-taking and database functionality of the existing one. This new one is an Ubuntu vm with samba and apache all set, but the old one is running Tomcat and basically takes java programming to update. How can I properly route incoming requests to the proper server, pass back and forth login information (which resides on the old server), etc? I'm a relative newbie to all this, so the solution might be blindingly obvious, but it's a bit daunting to get them working in tandem.

Managing ESXi Free
I am planning to drop ESXi on a company server to consolidate some existing boxes, however I cannot for the life of me figure out VMWare's licensing structure, with regards to managing the 'free' version of ESXi. It's free, only VirtualCenter (apparently required to manage the hypervisor) works for 60 days. I'm pretty sure I must be missing something here, anyone got experience with deploying ESXi, if so, what's required to remotely manage it?

Managing Your Own CNAME Yourself On Shared Hosting?
Let's say I buy my domains from godaddy and have the DNS records pointed to the shared host. From there, the shared host creates your CNAME records, or whatever you want to add to your domain name. What happens if I wanted to control the CNAME records? Can I do this from godaddy? If so, how? Are there negatives to this method?

Managing Multiple Email Addresses
I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . . Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email. My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address. Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email. I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?

Managing Local Root Folder
I'm planning a website at the moment but I'm wondering about a slight issue, regarding the local root folder of a website. Currently, I'm using Dreamweaver to create a website and I have had no problems of uploading my files to a site through Dreamweaver before. But I will not have access to my computer for about one month every year. However, I have a laptop available during that month. But since my local root folder is located on my stationary computer it seems impossible for me to, in any way, use that laptop to manage my site (upload new files to the server).

Managing A Client's 100 Email Accounts
If there's a moderator lurking that knows of a better spot for this inquiry, by all means point away. We're an ad agency in the very vertical market of Recruitment Communications. We've developed an employment site that we host on our Multi-site account. They have today requested a quote on what it would take to create 100 email accounts for their various employees and administrators on this employment site. I initially think we tell them in the proposal that having their employees utilize webmail for their accounts would be least problematic (read: least cost support) for them. It's still going to present a bit of manual labor on our part creating the names, but not too daunting. The client has no experience on staff that would be able to undertake the task as outlined above, so naturally we're concerned that their needs are indeed met in the best possible way. One of our company's goals for all of our clients is to, as much as is possible, Under-promise/Over-Deliver. But as we're not specifically a "provider" in the typical sense of what they're asking, I am also thinking that it might be better for both the client and ourselves to examine whether this is a feasible undertaking. If we were to undertake this 'project', and this is something you've experienced or read about, might you care to offer guidance on what guidelines we should assert/set-up? Web-mail versus Pop? Pricing structure? Support fees? Etceteras, etceteras.

Managing Multiple Providers On A Small Scale
We are consolidating several of our servers (6-8) into one location. Collectively, they'll probably use about 15-20 Mbps. We'd like to keep all of our VoIP traffic on premium bandwidth, but the rest of the servers (web, mail, etc) on something like Cogent. My question is this: Is there anyway to keep it all on one switch/router but be able to specify certain IPs or MAC addresses to use a specific provider? Is BGP the only option? It would be nice to be able to have that level of control. If BGP is the only way, it doesn't yet seem realistic on this scale. I'm proably being completely overzealous, and should just stick with two Layer 2 switches (one for each provider) and put each machine on one or the other, then setup a seperate VLAN for them to talk to each other. However, we'll probably be hosting servers for customers in the near future so having a router wouldn't hurt, we could use the traffic shaping, QoS, etc. in the long run.

Building, Running & Managing Your Own Server Farm
Building, running and managing your own Server Farm. This thread is dedicated to those who find themselves on or considering this path. Here, I am not hosting any ‘foreign business interests’ or associating with any other ‘hostile networks’. I am needing to create many sub-nets, with 3 to 5 WAN’s inbound and outbound. I have a ‘research sub-net’ needing special considerations and will link associates/contractors by VPN. The product-line will also require Radius Server(s). Plus more details and requirements that make the whole project most complicated. (Thanks to ‘leeware’ for this beginning theme) 1.0 Objective: Building a 30-50 Server facility: I checked my records and made this decision 2 - ˝ months ago. Since then I have acquired 28 servers, an internet security device, two 3com’s, two 4-port kvm’s, a few small Cisco switches and a host of power related stuff. 2.0 Justification for Building vs leasing: Control. Costs. Open options. Unique demands more easily appreciated by myself as I am the one possessing the vision. Choosing who I work with as I do the hiring/contracting or initiate associations. We are generally molded by personal experiences and these set-up our prejudices. I am certainly no exception. My experiences with hosts generated an excellent introduction to the wide world of websites/control panels etc and some products that support it. But the too often cryptic communications, some surprise costs due to my ignorance and that vulnerable ‘boxed in’ feeling made me wonder… 2.1 What is your rational for building vs leasing? One of my major ‘cross the line’ rational came when I discovered I could buy a used server each month for a similar cost of leasing one. Next, were all my own confounded ‘special circumstances’ that kept cropping up and of course these were not the fault of any hosting company. Lastly technology came to my street in the form of good multiple pipes and my zoning is acceptable because I am off a major highway. 3.0 Business Objectives: My business objectives center around a very long-run project that I have already long ago completed and keep updated to viability. And I would rather keep that subject to another venue. 4.0 Budgetary Information: I have enough ‘resources’ to pull it off. 4.2 What is your operating budget (How much money do you plan to spend on an ongoing basis to keep the place running for 12-24 months?) Same as previous and I will note that ‘time and attention’ is keenly important. 4.3 More importantly, where is this money going to come from? If from investors they generally require a sound business plan. I require a sound business plan and have it. 5.0 Return on Investment: Accomplish goals on and on… 5.1 After you account for the initial capital expense to get everything up and running + your on going operating costs, how long will it take you to make back your initial investment and then reach profitability? (12/24/36 months for longer?)

Exchange Server - Managing Company Group Emails
Our company has recently invested in a Microsoft Small Business Server, we are moving all our email accounts to exchange server. Our company runs a high profile website in Japan and we have a few email accounts that are downloaded by multiple staff, rather than have all staff download the same emails is it possible to have all emails forwarded to a public inbox where emails processed can be marked and ignored by other staff? We do not want to forward the emails to user's personal inboxes, this seems to be the common solution for this type of email. This might sound like a basic questions but we have trolled the internet for best practices in trying to set up this solution on exchange server but have not come across an answer.

Creating A New Partition
The server I got from LayeredTech has two hard drives, obviously they set up the first hard drive with Linux etc. The second hard drive is just there, not showing any partitions in 'fdisk' when I checked, so I assume they just leave it blank in every new server for the owner to deal with however they want. I've been looking up guides to create a new partition for the full size of the hard drive and then mount it. However, it hasn't been very successful. Everytime I created the partition in fdisk, I have to set a size, and then when I mount it, it only says that the drive is ~98MB big. Is there a way to partition the drive to its full capacity? And then mount it somewhere on the system? Or anywhere I can go to to find out easily?

Best Free "remote Control" Software For Managing A Few Dozen Computers? (Nonprofit)
I have a client who runs a non-profit organization that puts computer kiosks (running Windows XP) in public areas where low-income people can use them for free. They take old computers, put them back together, and then install them into local grocery stores, gas stations, etc.. where people can use them for free. This is non-profit work, so their budget is pretty much spent on hardware and upkeep of the computers. (ie: internet connections, Windows licenses, etc.) They have about 3 dozen computers now, and managing them is becoming more and more time consuming and difficult so they have asked if I can make some suggestions to make things more efficient (easier). All the computers are built with a hidden partition which contains a drive image. If the computer gets too "screwy", then they can simply re-image the machine and "restart". However, this requires a trip to the local computer, which takes a lot of time, and all of this is done by volunteers...) One idea I had was to use "remote control" software so the volunteers doing the work don't have to actually go and physically see the computer when debugging a problem, updating software, reimaging the drive, or whatever. A typical problem might be that the store owner where the machine is deployed will call and say, "It's not working any more". So now a volunteer must go and visit the computer to see what's wrong... but with remote control software they could simply login remotely, fix whatever is the problem, or if needed start the drive re-image.. without ever needing to visit the computer. (Save time!) So... I've done quite a bit of research on remote control software, and there seems to be lots of "for pay" options. However, the organization just does not have the budget to pay for remote control on a few dozen computers. (Also, they are expecting to roll this out in multiple cities soon, so the solution must be scalable, and paying per computer just isn't realistic given their budget.) I found the "VNC" remote control software, and that seems to be perfect. It's free, and seems to work well. However, there are no less then 10 different "flavors" of VNC available, so I'm hoping perhaps a few people here might be able to recommend which one is the best solution. tightVNC, ultraVNC, miniVNC, there are even a few pay (one time small fee) projects. I have no idea which one is best for them, and I just don't have time myself to investigate and test this all out to make an informed decision. I'm hoping you can help me narrow down the many choices to either one or two options. Here's what it needs to do: - Needs to be "always on" so that the remote control software works immediately after the computer boots. (ie: Even if nobody logs in, remote user should still be able to see the screen and do a login.) - Be impossible for computer users to remove. - Be able to take control of the machine without anyone being physically present to click "ok" prompts or accept incoming connection, etc. - Work with remote machines that are in a LAN with an unknown IP. (Some of the computers are plugged into an existing LAN so that they can use the existing internet connectivity.) In this case, the remote machine does not have a public IP, and the current IP might change after each reboot. The remote control software must be able to "see" the local machine, even if the IP changes, etc... (Maybe some software that runs on the remote machine that "sends" its IP or updates a hostname to an intermediary server every few minutes? - Allow file transfers between remote machine and controlling machine.

Creating Resellers Using 1and1
I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done... In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right. The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account. Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?

Creating Subdomains Dynamically
I have basic Html and webdesign skills other than that zilch I am working on my assignment for uni. and wanted to know if I can create multiple sub domains when I am hosted with a webhost. I want to be able to do the following:users can sign up and get a subdomain of their choice. users are allocated a limited webspace The access to file types need to be controlled. In the sense that users can only upload/download certain file types like html, htm, jpg, gif, zip etc. Users can have forms that work only within their subdomain. for example the domain name is www.webworld.com the user signs up for [url] where "mysite" is the subdomain. the user can have a form at [url] This form should not affect the other subdomains hosted by users. Just in case someone screws up the entire site should not be down. Is this possible? if yes, any pointers on how I can go about getting this done? Would the webhost help with setting this up? Any good webhost I should consider for such a setup? Any other things I should consider like data transfer / bandwidth Would this be a very expensive affair?costs?

Creating A Dedicated Ip Vpn Connection
I've created many vpn connections in the past using private ip addresses allocated automatically but I haven't really found much on making a vpn server that hands out a dedicated ip address. The problem: Basically, I have Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise and an extra public IP address that is unblocked from the internet. I have a private server (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 i386) sitting here at home that is behind many firewalls (both my isp and my own) that controls my x10 light system, etc. I have custom written software so that within my home network, I can goto my server's IP address via a web browser and http address and bring up a control panel that controls my lights, etc. Everything works great, but when I'm on my mobile phone, I cannot access this nice control panel because it is on the internet outside of my home network. I am wondering if there is a way to configure my public web server to act as a VPN server, accept public requests from this IP address and forward them onto my private home server that would have a vpn established 24x7. I haven't found much documentation on doing this, and I'm not entirely sure what to search for.

Creating An FTP Account With Permissions
I have a dedicated server with no control panel. I have a main, root FTP account. But now I'd like to create an FTP account with access to just one folder. For example, I want the FTP account to only be able to view and upload files only to "mysite.com/special/upload" It would also be nice if the new FTP user could only modify/delete the files that he uploaded.

Creating A Real Mail Using A Domain Name
i have just asked about it a local hosting copany and they show unable to understand what i was asking in the beginning and to give me a proper reply when they finally did. What i want is to create several mail accounts using my domain names (several mail accounts for each domain name using it) The usual answer is to use mail forwarding that every registrar offer for free when you register a domain name with them. So you get a free mail account amail@gmail.com domain name adomain.com and you create a forwarding such as amail@adomain.com to amail@gmail.com then you give amail@adomain.com so they can write to you using that fake mail, the message will bounce in your registrar and will send it to amail@gmail.com but what if i want a real amail@adomain.com mail because i want to write replies from that address. With mail forwarding as long as i know you can receive mail using the fake mail forwarding address but as mail is not a real one you then are forced to reply from the real account behing the forwarding one amail@gmail.com Can i do that, is that a service included in hosting plans or somewhere. Or am i wrong and its simpler than that.
