For my website I have a server which houses all of my gallery IMAGES of my user profiles. There are over 100,000 images on the server and it's only purpose is to provide those images with http.
However, the http server also has PHP installed, and it's only purpose is for uploading new images. Therefore users eventually get redirected to the images server where they can upload the image.
This all works, but in the future I want to remove the PHP side to the server. I also want to change the whole server program from Apache to Lighthttpd. This is because, lighthttp is a very low overhead web server program, but also provides very little features.
So I was wondering, if I was to do so, and since PHP is not installed, then I would have to make the upload pages on the main http server (which has PHP and Apache). Then I would have to make the main server send the uploaded image to the the lighthttp server via some sort of the scp system call, via PHP. I know that this IS possible, but when it comes down to security holes and so on, would this method really be worth it?
Generally I want to have the lighthttp setup only because it eliminates having to have any dynamic content. Obviously this can also be done with apache (removing dyanmic content), but lighthttp may be more efficient for static content.
i am using seperate server for sql .But my httpd server failed many time when i checked maximum number of httpd connection then my sql server using too many connection what is the reason of this problem . Is my sql server using as a slave in a ddos attack or sql server need http connection?

I was asked to restart lighthttpd at my friend host, he has 6 sites running, and of the site is down, host has asked him to restart the server, as he is away, he wanted me to restart, but I have no clue how to restart lighthttpd,
It will be really helpful if u can guide me for : if possible for the domain alone, else for the entire server
current options available : lxadmin - hypervm ssh connection
its been long time since I have set one and its been really bugging with the feather theme interface, which I haven't used before
now, here is the pt.
I have 3 ips , I want the main ip to be unique i.e assuming .2, .3 and .4 are the the ips we have ben provided with, where .2 is the main ip of the server (lxadmin)
now, in the dns template, I have 6 options where ip has to be assigned, as - base, cp, mail, ns, ns1, ns2
I have set the base,cp, mail, ips to .3
I don't have a clue on what to set for the ns, ns1, ns2
I want .3 to be shown as the pinged ip when site is pinged.
We have set .3 and .4 as the nameserver ips in the registrar, so do I need to provide .3 as the ns1 ip and .4 as the ns2 ips or both the ips have to be .3 and what should be the ns ip?
I have been given a code by the coder to add in the conf file under the location / in conf file but there is no location code under conf file. I am not sure where to add this location / in the conf file ? need help on where to add this code in lighthttpd file All I wanted to do is just an add an rewrite rule for one of the file and the coder has mentioned to add it below location / in conf file
I am using Apache now on my VPSes but i want to try it again with lighthttpd as it will use less resources, but the only problem is that lighthttpd is taking up lots of memory and i've read about a memory leak.
I am installing phplinkdirectory in lighthttpd, keep having problems with Mod Rewrite, everytime, I enable Mod Rewrite, 404 errors come out. What should I do?
to install LightHTTPD but I want to know how can I protect folders like using on apache i can put a .htaccess and it prompts me to enter pass etc...
How do I do that in lightHTTPd?
How do I disallow certian file extensions from public eyes like on my current server I disabled viewing of .datab files and when someone types in the location of mydb.datab they get a forbidden message.
trouble with users mis-using hot-linking feature, so he wants some restrictions to b set via htaccess
He has given me a code which is used for htaccess in apache, but he wants this to work in lighthttpd, I am not sure if this would work in lighthttpd htaccess,
this was the code given to me to b worked on:
Code: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
#allow hotlinking for thumbnails RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !_thumb
#allowed website to hotlink (don't forget to add your own site !!) RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url]
#display no-hotlink.jpg instead of the requested image RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|ico)$ [url]
can any one help me for getting this code re-written for lighthttpd version htaccess file and where to enter this code -- using hypervm/kloxo on his vps
my server will revert to its old host name and stop working. Old host name was (in) and the new one is (zonto). Then, the server will eventually crash HTTPD. There is enough ram, there is small cpu usage. HTTPD is restarted and then it says it can't connect to local host blah blah. I checked EVERYWHERE, the new host name is set. Is there a host name issue some where else? I change it via the hostname command and changed all of the files.
I am not being able to restart the server, or MySQL or httpd via SSH.
PHP Code:
root@server [~]# /etc/init.d/httpd fullstatusLooking up localhostMaking HTTP connection to localhostAlert!: Unable to connect to remote host.lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost/server-statusroot@server [~]#
PHP Code:

As you can see.. there are LOT of connections, checked the network traffic with the NOC, and there is no attack to this server, also, load average is just fine ( fine to handle thos 24000 connections ) :
I have a server that has server load showing at 25-40 (once it was even 53!), running like that for hours. The server has 4 cpus - and yet the sites on the server seem to run fine when I check them. What I'm wondering is, what exactly is load in this context; and how can load run so high like that without the server crashing?
According to top, the load is caused by httpd processes running under user 'nobody', that often take up double digit CPU percentage.
Does Apache always run under 'nobody'?
Is there any way to trace an httpd processes - which account it's for, or which physical script or URL is calling it?
And for top itself, the TIME field on one server of mine is in the format xx:xx (e.g. 3:25), on another it's TIME+ and in the format xx:xx.xx (e.g. 30:02.77). What exactly does this mean? I would asume it's minutes:seconds and minutes:seconds:hundredths, but while watching top it doesn't seem to correlate with that.
a topic long time ago that my server load is frequently high.
I'm talking about something like this Server Load 158.86 Memory Used 28.2 % Swap Used 99.57 %
[url]
The only way to solve this problem is to identify the load earlier and kill all httpd process. What I did was
#killall -9 httpd #killall -9 httpd #killall -9 httpd x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
On previous thread, I tried to update mysql & php and it works,
Right now again I am experiencing high server load again...
I'm very sure it's caused by httpd but I am still unable to find out the real cause of the problem and which account user is the culprit for causing this high load.
Can someone assist me by telling me where/how to begin with?
My Dedicated server is being slow - hopefully someone can give a helping hand
