I run a small hosting company, I just upgraded to a new windows 2003 server with plesk 8.3 at Serverbeach, I am wondering what everybody is using to defrag their hosting servers, the windows defrag? diskeeper?
View 7 RepliesI have a Windows 2003 dedicated Server with Plesk Control panel
I am not able to execute CGI scripts(Perl/Python/CGI) on it
when I try to execute on it
I get these errors:
Access denied to invalid credentials 401 Error
Error is 401.3 ACL restrictions....
what I tried is
I have tried to change IIS settings for IUSR_name
and also I tried editing in httpdconf file for CGI settings and restarted the server...
but all of no use
I am executing these scripts in CGI-BIN folder and outside of it..
I was actually curious about this since Windows 2008 version came out.
What is the difference between Windows media services on Windows 2003 and Windows 2008?
Any company rent Windows Server 2003 Web Edition ?
SPLA and External licenses ?
With Micfrosoft need pay 2,000$
I wait your answerds.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
for a router than can handle a couple hundred BGP peers, but will not necessarily be pushing a lot of traffic. The router should be able to handle 200-400 BGP peers, but will only need to push around 2-3 Gbit/sec.
What would anyone recommend for this specific configuration?
I am willing to spend whatever is needed, though I also don't want to just be throwing more money at it than I need to to get the job done effectively.
how to setup a vpn on windows 2003 web edition server?
I have setup ras, and letting me to login to the server using PPTP, but its not allowing me to route the Internet using the connection there.
I m having One NIC card, and as far i know its possible to route public network too.
I was contacted by a small company manager who want to setup an online common work place for his employees.
He needs a Windows server with the possibility for up to 10 users to connect remotly and share files and software.
Do you think that Windows 2003 is compulsory for such basic needs? I want to go with Windows XP because it is less expensive.
on the server I have ASP access sites and ASP with SQL server sites.
When I load the sites they are fast, but then after a random period of time, I click a link but the page just sits there saying waiting for host, I can refresh but no difference, then all of a sudden the site will start working again and be fast until the next time.
Does anyone know why the site can be fast then sort of just hang for a while and if so, any suggestions on fixing this would be brilliant.
Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP? Loopback, does it help? What about Linux?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe server gets around 25k unique visitors per day, but one website in particular allows hotlinking and uses a lot of bandwidth. Last time I checked...according to whm apache status page, I was getting 180 requests per second. Not sure what time it was though. So it might be higher at a different time of the day.
Recently got mod_evasive installed, but I didn't want it to block out legitimate users. Currently it's set to this...
<IfModule mod_evasive20.c>
DOSHashTableSize 3097
DOSPageCount 5
DOSSiteCount 100
DOSPageInterval 2
DOSSiteInterval 2
DOSBlockingPeriod 10
DOSBlockingPeriod 600
</IfModule>
what a better configuration would be? When I run the log I already see it block out a bunch of IP's. I don't want to lose any visitors to this program, but I do get ddos a lot.
I am trying to find a firewall for windows 2003 64 bit edition. So far I have tried Visnetic, which doesn't work, and comodo will not even have a beta version out until May. Anyone know of another that will work on 64 bit windows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running a server with Windows Enterprise 2003 installed, it has 32GB RAM installed but in control panel I can only see 15.5GB RAM, I understand graphics cards etc will take some of the RAM so I suspect Windows is only seeing 16GB, instead of the installed 32GB, anyone any idea as to why I do not see all 32GB.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi wanted to buy a dedicated server and when i had questions about 2003 web, i talked to hivelocity live support and i think it was dave who told me that Windows 2003 web has a restriction for mysql which was 512 KB. I myself is planning to own a gameserver that uses java and mysql and i know for sure uses much much more space than 512 KB. Is this true that 2003 restricts the size of your DB and when your DB reaches 512 kb, it can no longer be used? Also, is the windows 2008 web licensing fee the same as windows 2003 web?

I have a Windows 2003 Server with DotNetPanel.
Server have old hardware, and I want to change complete server to a new hardware, but saving all current data, users, configurations, etc...
I don't want to use backup and restore utility of DotNetPanel, because is very slow.
I want to do a complete migration of data, users, configurations, etc...
I see Parangon Software, that allow this, but I need to see more options.
In exception, I add ports (21,110,25,3389,80) all the ports work good, in Appearance.
I use MailEnable. When I visit the webmail for example webmail.mydomain.com I can't see it.
Do you have any idea what is happen?
What port is necesary?
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.
I would like to get a windows 2003 or 2008 dedicated server to run some software and give some friends hosting locally.
Can someone please explain what must be done and HOW (win server newbie here) *after* the intial o/s install?
- dns setup (how, ns1/ns2, etc)
- apply IP range assigned to server
- serious security (the big one)
This is my first dedicated and I am plugging away at it.I am running windows server 2003 web edition and I have my database, website, and ftp setup and everything is working so far. Now if you go to 66.96.196.102 my site that I'm working on will show up. My question is my domain and site that I am in the process of moving is hosted on a shared server on 1and1. Now I need that domain to point to that ip. Do I need to set up name servers on the server? If so can someone point me in th right direction.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen we login our windows 2003 server and download some file / or run any process, whatsoever ; and then we log off the server.
The download / process, ends itself.
How can we keep running the download or any process, even when we log off?
We have two Windows Server 2003 machines as active directory controllers and DNS servers for our in-house operations. For our purposes, let's say the domain name is example.com.
Both servers have DNS, and example.com is stored in Active Directory to allow us to use the benefits this provides. Our issue is probably simple, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
Let's call server one EX1, and server two EX2. These have local IPs of 192.168.1.111 and 192.168.1.112, respectively.
We want example.com to be resolved to an external IP address (for web hosting), let's say 1.2.3.4. The problem is, the two domain controllers keep registering example.com with their internal IP addresses .111 and .112, so the DNS round-robins between 1.2.3.4 and the two internal servers, which aren't web servers.
Is there a way we can get those DNS controllers to stop registering their internal IPs as example.com?
I noticed very strange file permission behaviour, which not always intherid child permission from parent. Detailed problem description is below.
I have "c:File" directory with IUSR permission.
If I run one .NET application(exe) from Administrator account and try to create new file with that application in c:File directory, the newly created file with that application do not has IUSR permission.
If I run notepad and save txt file into that directory, it has IUSR permission.
Can anyone explain what is going on? Why file created with first .NET aplication do not inherit permission from folder?
I've gone through 3 servers lately, upgrading each time. All three have been linux this far, but I'm really not accustomed to it and don't like running on something I'm not familiar with.
On the other hand, I'm very familiar with Windows 2003.
So, what are your experiences running a vbulletin forum website with windows 2003? Any huge security flaws with Win2k3 compared to CentOS? Would I be able to use SSH to tunnel and remote desktop into the Win2k3 box? It'd be so refreshing to be able to use a gui instead of command prompts.
I see a quad core with 8gb for under $150 right now, compared to my current dual core with 2gb of ram I think it'd definitely be a huge improvement.
Some of my factory guys can log on the same user name at the same time, so I want a situation where a user name may be able to log on, one at a time.
in case this forum cannot treat this, kindly direct to another site.
is there any huge difference between the two?
I'm primarily going to use the server for gaming.
After researching, the only thing I saw was that Web only supports up to 2GB of ram.
Has anybody faced problem in installing Windows 2003 SP2 over SP1? I want to know what problem can be faced before I start with the SP2 installation.
