View 12 Replies View RelatedVPS To Grow And Learn On
Oct 31, 2007I was wondering if anybody had a suggestion of what to look for in a VPS that I could use to learn and grow on. I generated a decent-sized web application (PHP5/MySQL) and I'm looking to grow in userbase and features.
I started it on Lunarpages shared hosting (which was a nightmare) before realizing I needed something a little better. I ended up switching over to WestHost and I've been very happy with them for a few years now. Though some may argue it's not a "true" VPS, it's done everything I wanted it to do so far and been quite reliable. It was a great stepping stone.
My site has been growing, as have my service plans, budget, and aspirations. I like to learn by getting my hands dirty, and I wanted to learn some of the more advanced aspects of running a webserver, so I'm in the market for a VPS with more freedom.
What VPS features or aspects should I keep an eye out for if I'm looking to both learn about the server and expand (aka do development work) at the same time? Benchmarks, RAM and CPU? Upgradability, managed and good support? CPanel, DA, Plesk? Snazzy logos and plan names?

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: High IO By Sa-learn / Spamtrain
Mar 12, 2015at 6 in the morning sa-learn / spamtrain starts to learn from junk mails.This causes high load on the system und takes about 2-3 hours.Is there any way to change the time to some hours earlier to avoid high load in office hours?
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1
... to solve the issue, that it didn't seem to have any effect to your CPU/IO usage. Please try as well the full path, if you experience issues, as for example:
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1. Please make sure, that "nice" and "ionice" are located at the given paths and don't just copy&paste the suggestion with the whole path - usage ( you could use "locate nice" / "locate ionice" to verify the paths ).
You asked as well for a different execution time, to avoid high usage during office hours. I would recommend to try several spamtrain - cronjobs, which you might setup with
For Plesk 11 you would use:
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f execute-spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f execute-spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
For Plesk 12 you would use:
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f ExecuteSpamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f ExecuteSpamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
or use the direct command with: nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1/usr/bin/ nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/spamtrain >/dev/null 2>&1
If you still would like to exclude one of the daily DailyMaintenance - cronjobs from your "50plesk-daily" script, you have to modify the line /usr/local/ psa/ bin/ sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1
to all different parts like:
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name1
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name2
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f Plesk-COMMAND-name3
where you have to leave out the commands, which should not be executed daily. ( Please see the current Plesk-commands for the DailyMaintenance - script with "/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -l" and be aware that Plesk 11 and Plesk 12 have different commands! )
From time to time, it is wise to clean up the spamassassin - database ( as you already found out with the linked forum-thread), but I would recommend a 6-month-cronjob and not a monthly one. that spamtraining with spamassassin can be very time investing and you should try out addons, filters and rules to find the most efficient configuration for each, unique server - unfortunately there is no "best-for-all" solution.

View 13 Replies View RelatedHardware: Db Servers, Web Servers, File Servers. Cpu, Ram, Disk
Jan 20, 2007I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc.
we plan to have three different types of servers:
- db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.)
- file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.)
- web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.)
could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs.
for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks...
for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable?
for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server?
I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it.
also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?

Load Balancing 2 Web Servers And 2 MySQL Servers
Mar 28, 2008I was wondering if it is possible to cluster 2 web servers and 2 mysql servers with only one server working as load balancer.
I am planning to use LVS (ldirectord and heartbeat).
Let's say I have 3 IPs allocated to the load balancing server.
111.222.111.222 (Main IP)
111.222.111.223 (Web Load Balancing IP)
111.222.111.224 (MySQL Load Balancing IP)
If a connection is made to .223 it would pass the request to one of the web nodes.
If a connection is made to .224 it would pass the request to one of the MySQL nodes.
Is it possible to do this?
If not, can I run, for example, nginx on 223 IP address to provide forward proxy? (Then it would not be able to HA but the main point is to load balance so)
Also, what would be the best way to keep the data same on both web servers? This is a web cluster for a very high traffic forum with a lot of uploads every hour so it has to do real time synchronization. I heard that DRDB is only one way and not two way so I'm not going to be able to use this.
Renting Colocated Servers As Dedicated Servers
Oct 11, 2009I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.

Name Servers
Aug 6, 2009I have recently purchased new hosting with a new supplier which uses a different kind of control panel - cpanel. So before I transfer our organisations website across I want to spend some time playing.
We purchased our domains with 123 reg and the host we have been using for a while is namesco our new hosting package is with neither of these suppliers.
Before I transfer our primary domain to the new host I'm doing a dummy run with one of our other domains and that's where i've come up with this name servers question.
The new host gave me the name of their 2 name servers.
But when I went to my control panel at 123 reg to change the name servers they were not using namesco name servers they were using 123's.
Do I want to change the name servers to the new name servers or not? I'm a bit confused as i was expecting to see namesco names servers?
