Our mail queue is getting stuffed with emails because remote hosts cant find our hostname.....
Should we change the hostname? Should we change the main IP? Submit a ticket with the DC? (This'll be faster, thats a last min option)
hostname: piper.bluepipes.net
IP: 208.53.131.149 (i think)
where can I find free hosts?

View 7 Replies View Relatedi have installed ppa 11.5 update #3 and now updated to update #4.
While adding new service nodes, i get everytime the error "Can not determine remote host "hostname" platform". I tryed Apache web server standalone and with mysql, postfix...
I have a set up where server 1 holds a mysql DB and a virtual host. server 2 holds many virtual hosts in apache (16) connecting to this DB.
The virtual hosts all hold the same script, but the single VH on server 1 receives about the same amount of visits as all the VHs of server 2.
server 1 is very busy at times, like 100% CPU and a load around 10 for long period of times.
server 2 is not very busy, around 30% CPU usage and 0.6 CPU load.
Yet, users on server 2 experience *much slower* response times than the ones on server 1.
The obvious reason could be the network between the two, but I'm not convinced (6 seconds for a query run from server 2 when it brings back 1 row and takes 0.01 second from server 1).
I was wondering what other reasons it could be.
The mysql processlist is weird:

mysql> show processlist;

Why so many sleeping processes from server 2, and none or almost none from server 1 ?
Is it normal that every query from server 2 is open on a different port ? Should they be grouped by virtual host, or is there one different port for each script running concurrently?
What could be a reason for server 2 having problems to open connections on server 1, and how to solve it?
Right now I'm about to deport more users from server 1 to new virtual hosts on server 2, hoping it will lower the load on the first machine and overall accelerate the response times. I just thought I'd post here first because this all seems very weird to me and i thought someone with an external look might tell me what I'm doing wrong. And also if network would be the problem maybe that's not the clever thing to do to make more users remote.
I know how to do this by analysing the headers, but we have a customers who doesn't believe what we are telling them.
Is there some kind of 3rd party service or script that we can point them to? So they can send an email to the service (or paste headers, or whatever) and it tells them who is the sending mail server hostname/ip?
(The problem is that this customer doesn't understand that all email sent from the server uses the same SMTP server hostname/ip. They are convinced that if they connect to "mail.their domain.com" then this is what is reported as the sending mail server/IP.)
Any one know any good email hosting service. I dont need webhost.
I just want me@mydomain.com
I have completed email set up on my server and have checked that email ports are open, but for some reason outlook keeps returning : "Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that you DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct."
The odd thing is that outlook still picks up emails if I receive any, but keeps returning above error every minute.
to migrate a site from one host to another and preserving all emails is crucial.
If a client has not checked his/her email in 2 weeks and then we change the hosting companies (switch nameservers of the domain), will these emails be lost?
I am looking for a VPS hosting company that basically allows unlimited email sending without restrictions. Does it necessarily have to be off-shore?
I will be sending about 300k per day, or somewhere in that neighborhood.
The bandwidth and storage I am not too concerned about.

View 9 Replies View RelatedA client has told me that his brother wants to put the company email on a remote server through Google. Currently the email goes via the hosting company.
He has asked me to send his brother the username and password for "updating domain information" so he can demonstrate what he is suggesting.
I am not really sure what he wants (as I always set up email via the hosting company and am not familiar with any other way): domain details or hosting company details with the email passwords etc? If the latter, I am not too happy about giving him access to all the website files that I am responsible for.
Does anyone know what he is talking about?
My company's domain is mycompany.com and we are hosting our corporate website in our own datacenter.
Now I want to create another website subdomain, site1.mycompany.com, to be hosted in an external third party datacenter.
Is it possible for me to send out email from the third party servers using the address info@site1.mycompany.com? I do not want to spoof any outgoing mail.
how can i do a search for all files (probs using regex) of files consisting purely of numbers?
for e.g. find:
53243.php
24353.php
24098.php
(always have 5 numbers).
seems one of my accounts has had some script run which generated a bunch of these in various subfolders, and the php file basically does a callback to www3.rssnews.ws and www3.xmldata.info, which seem to be some sort of spyware servers.
I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
I am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
Recently I stumbled along a host on here with a good rep and that uses direct admin.
Because they were very nice on the live support I signed up to see what direct admin was like.
Its very diferent from cpanel. Some parts seem to be harder to use like the phpmyadmin requires the username and password to the database you created not the control panel username and password like cpanel. Although I guess that could be a good security feature just in case some one gets into the control panel they can not get into the phpmyadmin, then again if they are smart and were able to get into the control panel they could get into ftp and look what the username and password is on the config file for the script you are using.
The bandwidth meter seems to be better in direct admin although I think its acting up for me as its putting yesterdays bandwidth on todays. I was told by the host that it updates every 2 hours and at first it did but now its gone to every day. Oh and unlike cpanel this bandwidth meter includes bandwith used by the control panel.
Niether one from what I can tell counts sftp though at least for the hosts I have right now.
Installed APF on a Fedora Core 6 box, had a problem with one of the modules (Unable to load iptables module (ipt_multiport), aborting) which was sorted by editing the functions file.
But I now get this come up 30 times when I start the firewall:
hostname: Unknown host
Some guides talk about setting a hostname but I dont have a domain name just an IP Address.
Then depending on what guide I look at there are references to different files. So I am not sure which file to edit.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI hope your day is going good. I've been trying to fix a problem I had all week. I receive daily email notification that "example.[url]" does not resolve to any IP. However, when in WHM, it already contains Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125. I've tried a few solutions from the web, but to no avail:
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (example.mydomainname.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 208.53.183.125. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to automaticly correct this problem by using the
'Add an A entry for your hostname' under 'Dns Functions'
in your Web Host Manager
1) Within WHM, I have the following:
-Add an A entry for your hostname (I only have one listed)
Hostname: example.mydomainname.com
Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125
-Primary/secondary nameserver
Primary Nameserver: ns1.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.26)
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.27)
-Resolver Configuration
Primary Resolver: 66.90.68.25
Secondary Resolver: 66.90.68.26
-Additional IP my webhost gave me to use:
208.53.181.26 (used in primary name server)
208.53.181.27 (used in secondary name server)
208.53.181.28
-Current DNS Zone listing:
example.com (my website URL that is currently working)
example.mydomainname.com (hostname I made myself that contains the server main IP)
ns1.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.26)
ns2.mydomainname.com (A entry = 208.53.181.27)
2) My edit "edit /etc/resolv.conf" contains the following:
Search localdomain
nameserver 66.90.68.25
nameserver 66.90.68.26
Issue: I receive daily email notification that "example.mydomainname.com" does not resolve to any IP. However, when in WHM, it already contains Server Main Ip: 208.53.183.125.
Here are the scenarios :
1. This Dedicated Server don't have main domain name but I use something like hostname.domain.com for the hostname.
2. The nameservers I use are something like ns21.domain.com and ns22.domain.com which I registered it already on my domain registrar.
3. Domain.com is use on other Dedicated server
Are these kind of setup okay? or should I really changed the hostname.domain.com to something else that is hosted on the same server?
I have a server with RHEL 5 installed. The problem is that the server shows the output of the hostname command as (none). I checked the /etc/sysconfig/network file and it shows the correct hostname. I also tried to change the hostname in the /etc/sysconfig/network file and restart the server. But hostname command still shows (none).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server with WHM 11.23.2. I am in the process of "attempting" to change the hostname for a group of websites and also the nameservers.
Let's say for practical senses that these were the old details:
Hostname: abc.example.com
Nameservers: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com
I changed in the following sections of WHM..
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Hostname to
123.newsite.com
and then...
Networking Setup -> Hostname to 123.newsite.com
and then...
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Primary Nameserver to ns1.newsite.com and then...
Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Secondary Nameserver to ns2.newsite.com.
Then...
Networking Setup -> Nameserver IPs. I deleted the old ones and created the two new ones: ns1.newsite.com and ns2.newsite.com.
I have double checked that this information is still there. Obviously newsite.com is listed as a domain/account. However, example.com was naturally the first one associated with this server.
I performed a server reboot, apache reset etc.
This was three days ago. I assumed it had all changed over. Until I (stupidly) remembered that I hadn't changed the goDaddy information to point to these new nameservers. I panicked thinking all the sites (six of them) would be down. However, they weren't. When I tried to change the nameserver information for a domain in goDaddy it came back with errors... it would only accept ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.
So, I did a tracert to the IP address of the server and indeed it comes back as abc.example.com. Every domain is associated with that static IP.
I can't even find anywhere where abc.example.com is listed within the WHM. All the new values are listed... so, where is it pulling this from? I thought the reset of the server (as a graceful reboot) would resolve this issue.. it hasn't. I've rebooted twice and awaited the thirty minutes for everything to get back online. No success.
