way to get a complete DNS Fail-Over solution for my website.
Currently I'm hosted at one Hosting Facility in NY, and I'm thinking on getting a backup location either in TX or CA but my biggest problem is visitors as even If I will get the secondary location and set the TTL to 10-20min some ISPs are caching the ip address for 24hrs, so even If I will change the IPs from the old range to the new, some ISP's around the world will still cache the old IP and the visitors will get nowhere in case the main location has an issue.
And I was wondering if there’s a way to send people to one direct IP let’s say 1.2.3.4 and from there to load the pages / db or mask there connection under the domain name to a different location without them noticing it so the SSL certificate wont produce error messages.
As I'm sure that Yahoo, CNN and other major websites don’t use one web server for accept connections all over the world to their websites.
what happens when I have 2 DNS servers on my domain and 1 fails? around 50% of the access fails... or they detect DNS timeout and try the other one, so 50% of the access would just take more time?
in a broken state halfway upgraded from centos 4 to centos 5. You'll need to either complete the update to centos 5 or revert to centos 4. Easyapache and some other cPanel functions require that yum be working, but "yum update" on your server currently fails due to the mix of centos 4 and 5 rpm's you have installed
So speakeasy decided to jump on the dedicated server business, and I tried them. My recommendation: Do not sign up for a dedicated server with them - that is unless you want to wait more than a month on your server (took them 35 days) in which they will lie to you and make up excuses for why they take so long. Then once they set up your server, expect it to get piss poor bandwidth and not function properly. The customer service takes 72+ hours to respond 10% of the time. The other 90% they don't respond at all. My sales rep apologized more than 15 times to me in the 35 day period I waited on my server claiming they are "new to the managed services business." This was more than obvious - I basically handed them $600 and got a worthless piece of junk which sat idle for 30 days in return.
I am only writing this post here because I used webhosting talk to research my recent purchase of a dedicated server with liquidweb.
I have been a happy liquidweb VPS customer for the last year and have grown my business with them. Last week I decided to upgrade from a VPS to a dedicated server and that is where things went wrong.
Stefan in sales was nice in taking my order and had my new server setup in very little time. I got an email that everything had been migrated and they would do the cut over Friday morning.
Friday morning I awoke to phone calls from my clients saying they were not getting emails, their site was down, etc.
I do some initial research and find out that liquidweb sold me a new dedicated server with old used dirty ip addressees that were blocked by ATT / sbcglobal / pacbell. To compound this problem a week later and three ip changes all of which were blocked I am still being blocked and on their blacklist. See below for list of other problems.
I was transferred to Bret my account manager who has done nothing for me and hung up on me through web today while pleading with him to get someone to help me.
I can only talk to a support supervisor and no one will let me talk to a real manager. I went on vacation to Boston this week and have been dealing with these issues the entire time.
I feel like I have been pawned off and shuffled around from person to person and can not get my issues resolved.
And to throw salt on the wound they billed $209 for a $159 server and then charged me a seperate $10 for 2 days from last month. Stefan assured me this transfer would be done at the end of the month so there would be no additional charges. Another lie.
Below is the short list of all the issues I have had with liquid web over that last since my migration.
Mysql databases were copied over
Email forwarders were not copied over
Email was being blocked by ATT/SBC/Pacbell
SPF records were not copied over
A records were not copied over
They sold me a new server with old drity blacklisted ip addresses.
After three sets of ip addresses I am still being blocked.
I was billed for both my old VPS and my new server when stefan the sales agent told me it would be a seamless migration and I would be billed for the server starting next month.
Can never talk to the same person twice. Have talked to about 20 people total over the talk week no one will take responsibility to get my issues resolved.
Can anyone recommend a fully managed dedicated server that will handle my migration with care and take responsibility when issues arise.
we are currently planning to implement SAN to our enviroment - VPS hosting.
Al VPS should be placed on the SAN - iSCSI connected to be able live motion etc.
Currently we are fighting with idea of Failover/High avalability. There has been rumors that dual controller SAN from HP/DELL are much more problematic than single controller versions.
We are also thinking about running some opensource like OpenFiler/FreeNAS/OpenSolaris or NexentaStore on supermicro boxes with SATA or single RAID controller.
But in that case - how make the iSCSI target highly available? Mirroring of the data/space is pretty easy with DRBD or ZFS but when one SAN box goes down, there should be no interruption in iSCSI targe service - no IP change etc..
I know I have seen a command line you can use which will activate :fail: in all the accounts on the server simultaneously so that you don't have to do each account separately, but I can't find that command.
Does anyone here know what that command is? I'm assuming it would involve /etc/valiases/?
Code: cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/ wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source....3.1rc2.tar.gz tar xzf proftpd-1.3.1rc2.tar.gz rm -rf proftpd-1.3.1rc2.tar.gz cd proftpd-1.3.1rc2 ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/run --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_tls make make install perl -pi -e "s/^AuthPAM on/#AuthPAM on/g" /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart I changed the proftpd-1.3.1rc2 version to the newest version of proftpd.org
When I run /etc/init.d/proftpd start, I get the following:
Code: Starting proftpd: - mod_tls/2.1.2: compiled using OpenSSL version 'OpenSSL 0.9.7k 05 Sep 2006' headers, but linked to OpenSSL version 'OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003' library - Fatal: unable to load module 'mod_tls.c': Operation not permitted [FAILED]
I have this server with no control panel and dnsreport could not connect to mailservers on all my domains. But the server can send out emails because I'm receiving logwatch emails, etc. I'm also using dnsmadeeasy for my nameservers.
Quote:
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
mail.mydomain.com: Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.
I tried adding the domains on /etc/mail/local-host-names and restart sendmail but the error is still there.
i make a dns for reseller client by edit it from edit dns zone and i put the two nameserver and with record type A and i point them to the two nameserver ip
but when someone host with him and use that dns he got in the dnsstuff.com that error

ERROR. One or more of your DNS servers are missing A records (per NS records that may be cached). As a result, they cannot be used. The problem hostnames are:
well i want to know what's the wrong here?
my server CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 with apache 1.3.37 with whm 11
Another note : this server not running on main site but run only on the dns (two server one domain name )
I have a dedicated server with cPanel/WHM and on it is a site with for example user name: domain
The main email user name is of course domain I'd also like to forward admin@domainname.com to the domain user account then any other emails would fail. So say if someone sent an email to sales@domainname.com it would fail unless of course I had an account setup.
Currently I can get admin@domainname.com to foward to the main account box, however in doing so it will also forward everything else.
am having 1.8 load average on a new dedicated Core2Quad q8200 2.33GHz server with only 4 accounts on it i think that's weird, the most busy process using more than 98% of the cpu is:
my datacenter says that they have not had power failures(lol yeh right) but i cant seem to figure out why my server seems to be rebooting randomly. so far its happened early 3-5am my times today and yesterday, just its happened 4x more times this morning.
im not sure if cpanel is sending me bind start failures because its not set to auto start up on reboot or if it might be related... but the server seems fine.
Ive been having this issue on a box im messing around with. I run custom services that launch an exe file. Everything runs fine while the server is running. But on reboot random custom services fail. Terminal services also fails to start.
The number of services that need launched on restart seems to be random each time. Sometimes services start to fail, at around 70+ being setup. Other times you don't see it failing until 100+ services needs started on reboot.
The server load with all services running is 2-5% and physical memory is about 200 megs of 1gig, paged, is about 300-400 megs used.
It is normally 3-4 custom services that fail on reboot. The ones that fail have the following error in event viewer.
Description: Subprocess monitoring failed due to subprocess is no longer active. The subprocess is probably dead. Restarting the process. Error detail: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
It will keep getting this error over and over again. However, if i stop all custom services and then start them, everything launches fine.
When this happens on reboot Terminal services also fails to start. It will not start, until I stop all the custom services. At which point it allows me to start TS without any errors.
Event Type:Error Event Source:Service Control Manager Event Category:None Event ID:7023 Date:5/10/2007 Time:7:02:10 AM User:N/A Computer:XXXXXXX Description:
The Terminal Services service terminated with the following error:
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

What I am trying to accomplish is a way to automatically launch these EXE files, and have something that restarts them if they crash or fail. I haven't been able to find a specific reason this is happening or how to fix it. So I am open to any other suggestions on how to do this.

I have a server with serverboost.nl and my site is not reachable via some networks. We have done a both way tracert and it fails after few steps. I am not sure how many networks give this error but I have already received few complaints from regular visitors to the site.
1. Who/ what networks should I contact to resolve this issue? I ave already asked ServerBoost.nl and they said TRACERT fails at Cogent network.
2.Cogent replied saying the following "Thank you for the trace example. What you were seeing was the 1st and last hop on the Cogent network mpd01.iad01. The very next hop then transfers over to the Savvis network. I have completed a successfully trace to the destination.

I have a problem with spoofing spammers.. my queue is plenty of non-delivered emails from externals SMTP, sended to NON-existents address on my server...
The question is the destination domain (mydomain.com b.example) has already its ":fail: No Such User Here" alias.
SMF records applied, but not the most external SMTP servers checks them nowadays...
Using :fail: the email is never accepted into the server. During the initial SMTP negotiation when the senders SMTP server connects to your SMTP server, the sending SMTP server issues a RCPT command notifying your server which email address the email to follow is intended for. Your server then checks whether the recipient email actually exists on your server (a POP3 account, an alias or a catchall alias) and if it does not, it issues an SMTP DENY which terminates the attempt to deliver the email.
Well, in my case it justs receives message and then frozen it!

I have changed to mod_filter from AddOutputFilterByType and now cannot rewrite the body content of a 302 page. I can rewrite the Location header using mod_headers, but I need to modify the informational content of the 302 page (usual a href "page has gone here") message as the source app puts internal details on the page.
At times as I'm developing, due to some coding error in PHP on my part, particularly calling a COM object, the apache server crashes. I'm delighted that it recovers, but in so doing it always tries to rerun the query that crashed it, which just causes another crash, and so on. Is there some way of getting round this, so that it recovers but the problematic code is not rerun?
