How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
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.

Web Server Setup VPS
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....

Most Secure Dedicated Web Server Setup
I am seeking a little input from others who use multi-CPU machines with large memory as web servers and mysql servers. I will be more than happy to give additional information I might have overlooked if you need it. Just ask. We are starting to run more and more dedicated hosts running joomla applications. I've been trying to find the very best settings for both performance and security that I can for the servers to function well specifically with their joomla applications. Serves are not used for *anything* else at all. The servers are strictly used to serve up web pages. No need for anything other than what apache/php, joomla requires and a few other things such as ffmpeg, etc. I would like to remove all tools which aren't needed for such a server, leaving a bare minimum server which is less susceptible to hacking. I've never messed with the root account so wonder if I can simply not allow any access as root other than terminal, perhaps not even su by giving another account full root access and of course, while allowing the system to continue to function properly with the many things which must run as root. I would like to do this on all of my public machines which are of course behind firewalls. I also have load balancers and cache devices in front of the web servers but at this time, they are not activated so aren't in the realm of this question. Development is done in a separate environment and the data is pushed to the web server via private network to the web servers. This means no need for shared tools, FTP, or anything else which users would need in a shared environment. The servers are 8-way IBM, running linux and apache, php/APC. Servers have 32GB of memory and I can install up to 64GB. Databases are run on separate machines which are also dedicated only to running mysql databases. Same machines as above. Machines all run multiple network cards bonded as a single IP. So, my questions are; How can I best utilize my hardware to take advantage of their memory capacities. For example, on the web servers, I'd like to find the best settings for httpd.conf which takes advantage of the machines resources. On MySQL servers, I'd like to do the same as the above, taking the best advantage of the hardware/memory. For web serving and for joomla, I seek the very best security settings I can possibly get. I say best because since they aren't used by users, there is no need to have a lot of tools and access to these machines so it should not be a problem to tighten these machines up a great deal. Any input from those who have such experiences would be very welcome as I've been finding no one place for help on this.

Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server

File Server Setup With Nginx...how Do I Choose The Config For The Server
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.

Windows Media Server & Web Server
I have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point. I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall. Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports. What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

DB Server And Web Server In Different Data Centers
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry. Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

Media Server Or Web Server + NAS
I currently use a Dedicated Server: Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD as a Media server which streams video clips etc... on my websites. But Im moving my sites to a UK colo, I have been advised that its better to have Multiple Web Servers connected to a NAS / Storage Server? As I dont want to have multiple servers doing seperate jobs I want 1 cluster e.g. Web Servers + Load Balancers + Storage + SQL I Purchased a HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s 1TB LINK: [url] Will this do the job? Or should I use this as backup storage and get something else?

Remote File Server And Web Server
I own a file hosting site. The site is powered by 2 servers - 1 front end web and database server, and 1 where all the files are stored. I'm facing a problem that uploading and downloading often failed. Connections to mysql would timeout. Has it to do with mysql settings or because the file server is located at a distance from the sql server?

Seperate Web Server And Db Server Or
im currently planning to launch a number of sites that may or may not take off. Basically my question is that most people tell me to seperate the web server and db server, and i believe this is because of interfering IO between the two, and the cpu not being able to alocate between both of them effectively. How effective do you think a Dual Xeon box would be to run apache,squid,php, and mysql. I figured my original plan was 2 servers (each xeons for the db with a raid1+0), but going a dual xeon seems like a decent choice since we would only need to pay for 1U at a colo with opportunity to move the db off of it later when we need to and replicate the webserver when needed. Let me know if im off my mark here. I didnt post req/sec or anything because this is just a seperate xeon boxes VS dual xeon single box.

DNS And Web Server Are On The Same Server
I have a few Websites on my server. I always used some one else DNS servers. Now I decided to try to use my own DNS server. It is installed on my webserver. During the testing I found that, when I try to use it, it assignes private IP address instead of public. This is correct for internal DNS use but wrong for the outside world. Can I do something about this or should I have the second server that hosts my DNS?

Dedicated Server Setup
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.

Also, would this new method be more optimal/cost-effective than my current method (I probably think the answer is yes).

Scalable Server Setup
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.

Web/Database Servers Setup
We are currently looking into getting a new setup to serve our online store, and I would be thankful for feedback as to which servers to choose. Today almost the entire store is on a single three year old dual proc/dual core server (4 gb ram, RAID5) that is beginning to get overloaded. (There is also a simpler secondary server that serves some static content and does some cron jobs.) The system is a in-house developed LAMP (where the P is mod_perl/Mason). The database is rather large, two tables with 2-6 million rows are hit multiple times on most public pages - these grow with ~10% per year. Several other often-used tables are in the few-hundred thousand to a million rows, also continuously growing. We anticipate rapid sales/visit growth over the next couple of years (a good day today is 6000-8000 visits), so I'm thinking of separating the database and web server. The most likely hosting candidate right now is Softlayer's WDC data center (we are located in Europe). With that background, does this sound like an adequate setup: Database server Dual Xeon 5430 - 2.66GHz 8GB ram RAIDed 3x73GB (or possibly 147GB) (15k rpm). I'm thinking RAID1? The big tables are not written to too much during the day, so read performance is more important than writing. Web server This (these) would be serving the Apache/mod_perl part of the system. Some static content (images and some PDFs) unless we put them on a separate server (all static content are placed in a single folder so it would be easy to do a mod_rewrite to an image server). Dual Xeon 5050 or 7320 4GB ram 2x73GB (SCSI 10k rpm) RAID1 I don't think we need to load balance between two web servers from the beginning but that is something we will keep in mind (and hopefully have to do at some point). Are the two configurations sane (or is one overkill compared to the other)? Generally, how many web servers can a single database server serve? Email is handled separately (Google Apps). I estimate our budget to not more than $1000-1500 a month (if we go with Softlayer we will most likely use some other services such as firewalls, SAN and so on). We currently use Suse, I have previously used RedHat on personal servers at ThePlanet. Is RedHat 4 32-bit a sensible choice? I have some experience with CPanel so we would most likely use that.

Web Application Hosting Setup
We are in the process of setting up an application that on signup gives the customer a subdomain. The document root for this subdomain should be the same as the webroot for the primary domain. As an optional feature the customer can also map their own domain to this subdomain. I was wondering if there is anyone here who has experience setting this kind of system up and could share some ideas, such as a particular server control panel that might cater for this, or that has an API that we can use within our Code. As we are starting off we were thinking to go with a VS to keep the costs down. Also, the system is being programmed in PHP so the server would need to be Linux based.

How To Setup Cluster/High Available Server
i have ideas about clustering server with spread country/datacenter. example: i have 5 Server spread around the world, server 1 in US, server 2 in German, and other country for next server. server 1 will be main server, when server 1 down, it will goes to server 2, and continue to the next server. all site/file and other stuff will be mirror on all server. so it will be 100% Uptime!, and never LOSS anything!. and my question is how to do that, maybe someone expert want to share with me.

Dedicated Server - How To Setup CRON
I'm trying to help out a friend with a dedicated server setup however we both don't know too much about it. We've setup apache, perl, sql all the standard stuff but cannot for the life of us setup a CRON job for a particular script. The dedicated server control panel is: WHM Accelerated. Our current websites have been setup on the server under the same user account (master). There doesn't seem to be the usual "CPANEL" options which you usually get with shared hosting however.
