Im trying to setup FTP on Windows 2003 Standard. Multiple people will need access, the problem Im having is how do I make it to where certain ftp accounts only have access to certain folders and certain ftp accounts have access to the whole root directory of that folder?
For instance under websitefolder you have a folder called bobsfolder. I want bob to login and just be "jailed" to bobsfolder, but when websitefolderadmin logs in they have access to the root of websitefolder and all its subfolders.
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 am going to buy my own server and colocate this at a data center. This server is going to only host one website with Mysql as backend database. I notice there are 3 different Windows 2003 server, Web, Standard and Enterprise. I am leaning toward the Standard version. Can I use Window 2003 Standard Edition to run my the web server?
I've got MSSQL 2005 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64. The server has 12GB RAM.
Now, I've been trying to find some way to monitor how much RAM MSSQL takes up, but found two conflicting things.
One source says that MSSQL 2005 Enterprise can only use up to 4GB RAM on Windows Standard R2 x64. Another says Microsoft changed this to 32GB for Windows Standard R2 x64 only (i.e. not x86).
Could anyone confirm either of these? I'd find out myself if I knew how I could see how much it's using (it only shows 90mb in taskmanager).
Is there best way to setup VPN on windows server to access net (PPTP) . I have try few guide that let me login to server using vpn, but can not access th internet.
We are setting up 5 instances of Windows 2003 server on all the same server hardware. I want to spend the time setting up 1 instance, so installing windows updates, drivers, settings, configuration, then have the ability to mirror/image that perfect setup 4 other times.
What setup would be right (as far as paging file goes) for running game servers on a dedicated box.
Specs core2duo 2ghz 2 GB RAM 300Gb HD Windows Server 2003 Standard
Right now it says it has 1512 MB allocated for the paging file. Just seems to me that programs would run better with a smaller paging file.
This is my first Windows server i have always used unix for a dedicated box so i dont have a clue how these settings such as page file affects a server.
I see most of the providers offering Windows 2003 STD license $20-$30 per month. I wonder how is that done, do they buy licenses in bulk and then lease them monthly basis or there is an agreement with Microsoft. I have a few linux boxes colocated and would like to procure Windows licenses on my own. Also how to go for licenses for VPS server?
Posted this as an add-on to another question I had in the Tech forum, had no reply, perhaps I posted in the wrong forum. Posting here instead:
I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.
I use Windows Plesk v 11.5.30 with Mailenable Standard Edition 7.0 version. In mailenable site i saw a new version of Mailenable standard version (7.5.1). URL...Can i download and update Mailenable version of my Windows PLesk? If i made this change and have problem can i do downgrande later?
We Host a small number of webistes, only those that we have actually developed for clients. We have a standalone windows 2003 server. We have always skirted round the shared ssl space by just having a seperate ssl for any client that needs it, but now i want to know how to set this up, I know how to install certs in IIS im just not sure how shared space would work
We use FTP isolation mode on our server so everyones folder is under wwwrootlocaluser directory,
Can someone explain to me how shared space works and the best way to set it up ad provide access.
Internet comes in from modem into dual nic 1u server(DNS/DHCP/Firewall). It's getting an internet ip from first nic, then a private internal ip for 2nd nic. That 1u issues ip's through gig ethernet switch to 3 other servers from 2nd nic. Those other servers are dedicated for website, one for database, and one for email.
If each run win 2003 server ent, how can people access the email server if the only comp getting an internet ip is the 1u server, and same idea with website.
Also if people can access the website, how can the website server pull information from the dedicated database server if it's only getting an internal ip?
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?
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?
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?
