I migrated my server on friday, and I changed the IP address of my DNS. There are still a few customers accessing the old server. What can I do? Is it possible to flush some persistent DNS cache somewhere?

Thats Virpuss customer service and its plain silly.
So we just switched servers, but some people are reporting that they can either not access the site, or are not being displayed the newest content. What is causing this?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have free hosting server and a rule to upload 3MB file max. it works for FTP, but somehow it doesn't work for php. It seems for php the limit on my server is 100MB (no idea why)
i use following directives to limit file size in php.ini :
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 4M
(4 just for some margin )
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 3M
and i still can find 100MB files on disk. this is part of log file from apache from the account that uploaded it to me:
Code:
boorako.[] someip - - [13/May/2007:12:21:22 +0200]

as the effect of this (at least i think so), there was 100MB file in his home dir.
any idea how can he POST such big files even with those two directives?
i have also set LimitRequestBody to 5194304 and LimitXMLRequestBody to 5194304 in apache2.conf which also should stop files being POSTED as big as 100MB.
i have php 4.4.4-9, Linux Debian, apache 2.2.3 working in worker mpm, and php as fastcgi.
P.S. i removed server info like IP, dir and address to not show specifics about my server in public, i put [] there.
I guess you can fugure my account expired with servage.
but to tell you the truth, I am so P OFF at them
I opened a ticket on my last day and asked if I can move it from 14 months (that I started with) to a 6 months renewal because I could'nt afford to pay the £74 they wanted, and apologised for this. They said I'd have to pay the 74 pounds first and then change my billing to 3 or 6 months.....
I replied saying can I then pay a sum now and a some next week. as I don't have that with me at the moment but wednesday 9th April I wil be able to remew it all
They replied with:
"Hello Ahmed
there is 14 days grace period for customers before account gets suspended."
So I thanked them very much, because like that, instead of paying in installments, I can just pay them the whole amount before the grace period was over, otherwise I would've backed up my data and moved it another server, or on my computer till I remew the whole amount....
5 days later (today), I log on to my account, and it has been suspended as I hav'nt paid for 5 days...thats 9 days before the "grace period"
and now all my domains have this dirty suspended page that they have, and I bet I lost half my members and customers like this, as when I see this page on any domain I enter I never go back to it!
I say to my self its my falt, I should've paid when I had to.....but money was tight, and I told them....and they gave me the 14 days, I did'nt ask for anything, but I thought backing up all my sites and my webdriver that I have with them would take me ages, plus the pages have alot of content that would be a hassle, if I have a "14 days grace period".
This is the first time servage have lied to my face, and not by answering a question with yes or no, by saying a feature they have that does'nt exist and but wednesday I bet all my customers and members would've found somewhere else to hang out, as I only contacted them through the mail server on the site and my forum, now I can't even right "we will be back soon....don't go away",
I thought I warn you guys about this grace, if you have an account with them make sure your ready to renew before it expires, and don't believe most of the stuff that they say.
OMG, I used to promote for these people, and tried hard to always say good stuff about them, you see my sig, it was a promotion for them with a coupon code (that I dredfully apologies about to the administration for not reading the rules properly), and I get in return a lie straight in my face with no warning and no way of accessing my database what so ever.
Just be warned Guys, don't believe everything they say to you and backup all the time because you never know why they suspend your account.....even if your on thew right track
Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
The problem appears to be intermittent
when I install apache on my machine I can open up port 80 on the router and allow outside access.
But, now here is the issue.
I have a p4 server which connects via ethernet to my apple mac. My apple mac connects to the internet via wireless. My apple mac has web sharing activated so the server can access the web. The server has OpenBSD 4.3 installed without X.
What I want to do is get my server online.
It's IP is 192.168.2.4, my macs IP is 192.168.1.1. In the router configuration how would I set it up? Would the router see 192.168.2.4?
I'm using a dedicated server for the first time and I want to access the PHP.ini file so that I can set up the mail() function and also enable error reporting.
However, all access has to be done remotely through a KVM console and I'm unsure what I need to do in order to get to the file that I want.
I have one server right now and will be adding a second server in the next 4-5 months. In the meantime I've upgraded the coding in my community site to act as if there is already two servers. Mainsite.com has all the php files, and a separate HD for mysql db only, [url] has all the user images and videos.
This problem I'm having right now is the permission to delete files from [url]via [url]
What I've Tried:
vsFTPd - it has a small footprint but its not reliable, needed to be restarted a few times while testing on the beta site.
usermod - this is messy, changing chmods, owners, grps... etc I tried all of that but still had problems getting the Mainsite to be part of the group without having to change all the chmods and grps.
NFS mount - haven't tried yet...
Does anyone run a multiple server site? My sites pretty big been around for 4yrs, and i've upgraded servers 3 times since then.
If i can't get this to work right my final option would be to continue to upgrade to a new server each year, everytime a bigger and faster server setup becomes available.
Current server Dual Xeon 5310 4gb, 3 x 146gb scsi/sas. The server is doing fine with this setup. But with the new site uprade and features it's going to top things out. I can keep throwing ram on the server and move mysql off site.
The site has little over 1mil users with about 60-70% of them being active daily...
The subject pretty much says it all. A simple implementation / reversal is what we are looking for.

One of my servers at FDC Servers is crashing (= kernel panic) every few days since we got it.
The specs of the machine are:
C2D E6550, 2 GB
Linux .. 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 #1 SMP Sat Mar 29 09:15:49 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I opened several tickets with FDC, after running memtest and clocking down memory they say it's not a hardware issue but software related.
Quote:
I see that according to this ticket, memtest has been run without error and the memory was even slightly clocked down to avoid problems. It appears that the errors you are reporting are software related...
I already tried several kernels and different application versions.
The server is only running lighttpd.
some customers contact with me and told me that since 2-3 last days, they can't reach sites wich are hosted on my server(for a liitle time) for example 2 hours and then again after 5hours for 10 minutes and etc.first i thought that was problem with their isp but i dont think so because we use the same isp with some of them(customers) and me and other friends of me we reached the same sites at the same time when the others(customers) can't. do you think its something with the apache in my server?blocks some users? some ideas that maybe has to do with the problem i mention?i think that is sommething with the apache.any ideas white might be?

My server with Servstra has been unreachable for 3 days now. The only replies I get from support is "have patience". I wish they would tell that to all my customers that are leaving. They have not even given me a full explanation of what is happening. They do not provide a phone # for me to call either, so I am at their mercy now. Guess it's time to start looking for a new job cause my hosting business is gonna be gone after this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEver since Monday morning, my site has had problems because the server at my host is under attack.
Most of Monday my site was down. Then Monday late afternoon, it came back...I thought. The forum is up and running, but the rest of the site, built on WordPress, is screwy.
Most of the plugins aren't working because of inability to connect with the database.
I can't log in to my cPanel at all and haven't been able to since Sunday.
This is the first time I've experienced anything like this, lasting this long.
It has me wondering if I should start considering a new host. I have loved their service, especially their speedy support (native English speaking to boot) so I hate to leave but I'm not sure if their service is going a little downhill or not.
I've not posted feedback for past providers that haven't been so good, but due to bad service and a lack of refund after nearly 2 weeks, I really need to post my situation.
The site is pc-core.net, and they have had some fairly decent offers going on WHT.
After 5 days of good service from the dedicated provider PC Core, I ran into possibly the worst 10 days of running a website I’ve ever encountered and a further 12 days without a refund.
Here’s my story.
I signed up for a dedicated host in September, and my machine was made active on 25/09.
The server went down 5 days later on 30/09, and it took more than 24 hours to get it back up. So now we’re running on late 01 Oct 2008, but slow and sometimes unresponsive. The site then goes down completely on 05 Oct 2008. A response on 06 Oct 2008 saying they’re looking into the situation. Had to then wait 2 days, and post 3 replies to get a response on 08 Oct 2008.
One last response on 09 Oct from support, then I had to update the ticket 10 times to get another reply on 14 Oct 2008.
The server was down for 9 days with little to no response from the tech support, despite me continually trying to contact them.
Server back online briefly, then down again on 15 Oct 2008.
On 16 Oct 2008 I placed a ticket applying for a refund, which should be instant and my account cancelled instantly. Refund request finally got through on the 18th, server down but my account on their site is still live (so I’m still being invoiced via PayPal).
Their refund policy:
If for any reason you are unhappy with our service, and wish to leave during the first 30-days, PC Core will refund your purchase price less applicable fees in full.
It’s now 30 Oct and as I write this I’m still waiting for a refund (12 days waiting for a refund, still no response), still waiting for my account to be cancelled and I’ve posted numerous tickets asking for an update during the last 12 days.
I was told that they may pay me for the remaining days I had left after cancelling.
Surely a full refund is in order? Or at least the downtime and remaining time for the month.
I’ve been with 4,5 dedicated providers in the last two, three years but I have never seen any take more than 5 days to respond to server downtime, it’s appauling. The only thing going for the provider during my month with PC Core was that the staff were kind and helpful when they were around to give it.
I paid for a server with GeekRack.net 8 days ago, and have seen no sign of the server being setup.
Now I know they are just a Burst.net reseller, they don't own or order the hardware or even have physical access to the servers, they simply get 25% off Burst.net and just resell their servers. That said you'd expect at least some sort of notification on when the server would be ready by, especially by now, right?
I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.
I would like to ask what steps do you follow when comes to replace your actual server by a new one?

Are you OK with us to give it another run tomorrow? Please indicate a No in case this is inconvinient to you, if there is noanswer we assume that there is not a problem and we will work on thetransder again tomorrow.

I have a web app that uses MSSQL Server 2005 as it's DB.
I am moving this web app to a new server (new IP addresses)
Once the DNS progation is complete, I need to then syncronize the data between the old DB/server and the new DB/server.
how to sync two MSSQL 2005 dbs?
Or is there another migration technique? (my hoster won't do any IP forwarding in their hardware)
my CPU load is about 23%. how do i decide to continue with shared hosting or switch to VPS/Dedicated.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI Foolishly entrusted a server migration to seeksadmin recently... however they seem unable to provide the required level of support to complete this task... Up to now the average response time per query is between 12 to 24 hours... amazing as we have paid for one hour response package.
We have a small window of opportunity to complete a seemless migration tonight... but again seeksadmin are nowhere to be seen...
We have coordinated with our datacentre and informed our customers that the move will take place tonight, however seeksadmin are either asleep or just can't be bothered to respond... which leaves us with no other option than to try and locate an alternative support company to assist with this migration...
All accounts are copied... it is just a case of hardening the server and installing third party softwares, ensuring all data is up to date and addressing any issues which may arise...
Can anyone suggest a tech/support company who can help out at short notice? Migration will start at CET 01:00 and needs to be completed during the night before my users come back online in the morning...
its possible to do a P2V migration of a Apache http server 2.2
Present environment:
Windows 2003

There are 2 webservers (running Apache) for load balancing. The backend server runs an application which uses an oracle database. Is a P2V migration of the web servers possible?
