How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
Mar 23, 2007
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks.
My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql.
The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server.
I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work.
Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server?
I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server?
I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.
I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.
for setup and configuration instructions for setting up mail server on a Fedora Core 6 server. I googled it and most of the links are described with steps while installing OS, but i need to configure a mail server on a server where my site is already running.
I have 1 server so I setup dns as ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com ip address pointed to server1. So, now I just bought another server. Can I setup ns2.mydomain.com pointed to 2nd server. Also how to setup more servers ie. 10, 20 server because I can only set up to 6 dns in one domain name.
to setup a OpenVPN server on a Trixbox Server I'm running and tell us how to setup a Linksys router running DD-WRT Firmware to connect as a client. We need to make it so remote Cisco IP phones can connect to Trixbox.
I've registered a new domain name and 'hired' a Virtual Private Server (not managed) to host it. I know 'some things' in php and web design but I'm newbie with configuring servers (especially remotely on a Linux server.... )...
This is what I've done so far :
1. registered domain name at namecheap.com and set up DNS there (my VPS server names)
2. I've installed Linux Ubuntu 8.04 on my VPS
3. I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.1 on my VPS
I've registered my domain name yesterday and it is still 'invisible' when I type in the address... BUT when I type in my VPS's IP address, the XAMPP welcome screen appears (MySql isn't running though...).
I know this is a child's play for a Linux expert, please if someone knows a good tutorial, step-by-step guide on how do I set up everything to work properly....

i recently bought a Dell SC440, quite basic configured, the thing is that it came without (OS) so i downloaded (CentsOS) as my OS.
My question here is, i want to setup my server in order to host 15 of my domains and would like to have it setup like the (Lunarpages) account that i have at the moment with them is that possible?
if I could assist his small company in setting up an FTP server. What they are looking to do is provide a way for people to login and access files. They can either bring down the files that are left for them or they can upload files. Is setting up an FTP server difficult? Is it time consuming? Can you customize it so that certain files can only be seen for specific usernames?
I've been charged with setting up a new Dell PowerEdge server, but it arrived with no default OS and no CD/DVD bay! Any ideas on how I can get an OS on here? Are there any linux builts suitable for booting off of a USB thumb drive for this purpose?
I installed Windows Server 2003 on a spare computer, Pentium 4 2.00GHz 760 MB of Ram. I have been looking allover google on how to setup a DNS server so that I can run my Clothing Companies website from home. Are there any guides that can help me from setting up DNS server to having the website appear online? I have been trying to set up this server for about a week now and still no luck. when I ping 68.109.88.131 it comes back successful and when I enter that in, in a url, the "Under Construction" page comes up.
lot of questions about a server setup i whant to now some things if you can tell me fanks it is a systeem with linux os
1 if you have 2 cpu's in your server and one is broken, can i replace it easy? do the server still work on one cpu? can i take the broken cpu out and put a new one in and still the server work when i do this?
2 What for backup option i have when the raid card is broken? can i install software there for that the software take over. or must i put 2 raid cards in the server?
3 wich software i need when i whant raid software ( not a raid card )? raid 5 with hotspar and for linux os or raid 1 with hotspar
4 when a raid card have a cpu with the speed 566 mhz and i have 2 cpu 2.0 ghz and i only whant to work with raid software can i than fink that i take about 566 mhz from the 2 cpu and the rest is for the server or to the software need to take more from my cpu's
What do you think of this setup? The only thing I am unsure about is the case/motherboard. I want the best case/motherboard (1u) so i can upgrade it more in the future.
We had the server management company setup name servers on the new server but SSH shows different results from the old versus new server. Here is the output:
Old Server: root@host [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips xx.xx.xxx.xx1=ns1.domain.com xx.xx.xxx.xx2=ns2.domain.com xx.xx.xxx.xx3=0 xx.xx.xxx.xx4=0
New Server: root@www1 [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips xx.xx.xx.x=0
They do not seem to match. Can someone provide some instructions as to how we can check within WHM to make sure name servers are setup corretly?
i am setting up a new server and am not sure what some of this is,i have just copies part of the page. Its a bit messed up but it will do.
What does Business Continuance Insurance What does Host Ping and TCP Service Monitoring 24x7x365 NOC Monitoring, Notification, and Response McAfee Host Intrusion Protection w/Reporting 10Mbps Hardware Firewall
Most explain themselves, but for the firewall ive already got mcaffec total protection does that have a fire wall and are any of these worth using.
does aynone know how to modify the file /etc/network/interfaces (using debian linux) in order to have 2 different 8 IP - Blocks on one server? I guess one needs somehow 2 gateways, but I am not really sure how to set it up. So I did try it that way, which didn´t work: ....
I wanna host my website from home.But i dont know to much about it.Can you help me or give me some link where i can find Guides?Im using Uniform Server btw...but i dont know what next? Main goal for me is to setup server,,and i need definitive guide!
So when you setup a new server, what should I do. I will only be running 1 site for now (vbulletin forum site), should I just install Apache, MySQL, Php, setup the DNS, etc.
Or Should I just Install Plesk, and let that do it.
Most Likely will just be running a 2.53Ghz Core2Duo, 4GB 250GB. I have setup a webserver before just basically though but think I could manage. I think that Plesk would make it easier but would also eat up resources, on the other hand though not having it would use less resources but require more configuration.
I want to setup a dedicated within my home based business, what is the easiest and cheapest way to do this, I understand I would need a static Ip address from my Internet provider (is that right?) also Do i need a spare PC to do this or can I run my main PC and still be able to run it when it's switched off?
I own a file hosting and delivery site, and am looking for new/better way (that involves the use of a large storage array, such as the Dell PowerVault MD1000) to store and serve user files. I currently have many separate file servers that store and serve user files, and each server has roughly the following specs:
Quad core processor 4-8GB RAM 8x750GB RAID-10
I know with the large storage array, I will need front-end servers to retrieve files from it, but wasn't really sure how this works. Also, would this new method be more optimal/cost-effective than my current method (I probably think the answer is yes).
I have started to move my websites over to my UK Colocation But would like a little guidence on what the best solution would be.
I would like to build up a Server Cluster that will handle all of my sites really and also have redundancy, so If 1 server goes down the other Web/SQL/Whatever server will be used instead.
I have websites ranging from large forums to streaming & download websites.
Should I got for a setup for example:
X Web Servers + X Database Servers Connected to X Storage (see link below)
Connecting the Web Servers in something like a a round robin config or use a Load Balancer / Other
OR Should I setup multiple: Web Server + Database Server + Media Server
OR another config?
Below are my current setups
Current UK Setup (Colocation)
Web Server Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 1 Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 1 (just ordered)
SQL Server Quad Core, 4GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 10
Storage Server HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s 1TB (just Ordered) Link: [url]
Current US Setup (Dedicated Servers)
Web Server Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD
SQL Server Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD
Media Server Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD Dual Core, 4GB Ram, 3TB HDD

if anyone would be able to offer suggestions for setting up a scalable server setup. Here's the situation.
I currently have one web server in a LAMP environment. This server houses both the application and the database.
I would like to setup something that provides more redundancy, and offers the ability to scale as needbe.
It seems there are quite a few options, here's what I am currently aware of.
1) Multiple servers, each house a copy of the database and the applications/files
2) Separate application server and database servers. For sake of redundancy, there would be two load balanced application servers and two clustered database servers.
Currently, with my setup of 1 server, the load is not bad, so it's really for redundancy than anything else, the bonus however would be a setup that is relatively easy to scale as the load became more testing.
I want to setup a mail server on a CentOS box on a cable connection via comcast. We have a commerical account with one IP address only but the server will be behind a router.
Will I have to manually assign the server an ip address? As of right now I cant see the server from the outside. What will I have to do to have email route to that box?
We have 2 harddrives on the server and a private network on the back end with limited storage space. Hard drives are SATA II (not in raid). As far as we know, 2nd harddrive is not used for anything yet.
We are new at this and any configuration suggestions would be helpful. What kind of a backup setup would you recommend? What kind of schema ie. full backups, incremental, data backup only, public_html backups?
