How Do You Access Your Servers Remotely
May 21, 2008
Just wondering if anyone can share how they access there colo servers remotely? We have a couple of servers in one datacentre and have just setup a new small co-lo solution.
At present we just use RDP to access our windows servers on the standard ports (pretty bad i know). The RDP ports are open as there may be occasions when we need to access the servers from anywhere. Our new soloution is presently setup like this but i am interested in locking it down.
How do other people access their servers? We have DRAC/ILO cards in the servers but we only tend to use these in emergencies as the remote console is pretty slow.
how to improve security are greatfully received!

KVM to manage multiple servers using single KVM.
We want that if server owner want the kvm for its server we add the user remotely and provide him username/password for KVM to access his server. Once he is done we remove his access from KVM.
Can this kvm [url] be used to manage multiple servers remotely?
There are more then 12 servers to be managed remotely.
All the operations has to be managed remotely. We don't want datacenter intervention or datacenter guys to plugin and plugout the kvm's for each server.

Windows Server 2012r2
Plesk Panel 12.0.18 Update #36, last updated at Feb 20, 2015
my server running version 12 on win server 2012r2 of the panel. Sometime in the last few days something has changed and I can no longer load the Admin panel on ip:8443.
I can access the panel by using remote desktop into my server and loading it locally.
I also can not connect to the server using the mobile manager app or via telnet. If I disable the firewall in the Plesk panel it works fine so I checked my firewall but incoming on 8443 is allowed. It seems the firewall is blocking ports that were previously open as I can't remote access my MS SQL server either without switching the firewall off.
The only change I'm aware of since I last used the panel is the update #36 install. Not sure where to look next?

Exist a domain (domain.fm), this domain receives constant DDoS attacks and the webmaster of domain.fm has pointed the domain to my server and the DDOS attack has been redirected to me.
Is it possible to block this domain?
I noticed that the webmaster of domain.fm only points the domain to
my server when attacked.
Yesterday my apache has been down for several hours.
I would like to block access to my servers from the domain domain.fm

How can I run memtest86 remotely?? my server has crashed 8 times in less than a week ,
I've had many glitches, it's failed to restart a few times and twice I had a odd glitch where /home/mishkin/ on became read only access (even to mishkin) chmod couldn't fix it and the first time a reboot solved it, the seccond time the server went dead, not even remote reboot can bring it back online
I told my host server.lu about this and demanded a new server, they repleyed with "did you run memtest?"
I told them that I have no idea how to do that remotely and it's 12+ hours (8 of them buisness hours) without reply
help me out guys, oh also any idea how I can get it running again??
it's debian stable
oh and during some of the crashes I had 3 terminals and xfce4 running only (and wasn't even logged on )
I'm not running anything untested

my current situation is that i'm currently renting out a server in a datacenter, and there is no realistic way I can get physical access. Call me cheap, but I really don't fancy shelling out $100 to get my techs to install it. I do have an idea though, and I just wanted to know how realistic it is / how I would go about performing it.
My server has a rescue shell (uses busybox) that I am able to re-install the OS from (all linux OSes), re-partition the HDD and do general troubleshooting things from. If I was to create a VMware machine on my local computer, install windows 2003 and use a hdd image cloner (from within the machine) to create an image of the HDD, how would I go about copying this image to the server's HDD? I don't know of any cross platform "HDD backer upper / recoverer thingies"

I'm wanting to access one of my MySQL db's on my VPS (WHM/cPanel).
Specifically, I want to connect to the db from Excel and pull down certain data live.
I've set up my IP address for remote access in cPanel.
I've done this before on my old shared hosting account, where the hostname for the db was [url]
But under WHM/cPanel, the only hostname used for MySQL is 'localhost', which doesn't work when trying to connect remotely.

I have 2 questions here.
1. I have installed mod_evasive version 1.10.1 on a Cent OS 4.4 server.
I'm using the test.pl script that comes with mod_evasive to test the configuration and when running the script from the same server mod_Evasive is installed. The mod_evasive is able to detect the intrusion and block the IP of the server.
If I use the same test.pl script from an external server the requests come in and are viewable in the access log but mod_evasive doesnt block the IP of the external server.
Probably is not blocing the ip of the external server because of latency.
Is there a way to modify the test.pl script to make it more agressive and get results when testing from an external server?
Here I'm pasting the code of the test.pl script:
Quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# test.pl: small script to test mod_dosevasive's effectiveness
use IO:ocket;
use strict;
for(0..100) {
my($response);
my($SOCKET) = new IO:ocket::INET( Proto => "tcp",
PeerAddr=> "test.domain.tld:80");
if (! defined $SOCKET) { die $!; }
print $SOCKET "GET /?$_ HTTP/1.0
";
$response = <$SOCKET>;
print $response;
close($SOCKET);
}
2. Also, I have sendmail installed and on the mod_evasive config I have email address specified on DOSEmailNotify. When testing from the internal server with the test.pl script the server is able to block the ip, put in the hash table but it never sends an email to my email address.

I have just ordered an unmanaged dedicated server with KVM IP. now what I want to know is, how can I install software from my computer to the dedicated server on the other end? Would I have to upload the ISO to that server then install it from there or can I install it directly from my computer to that computer?

I don't know if this is possible after searching on the internet for solutions. Here is the problem. I recently logged off my colocated server 2 days ago, and have been trying to log into it again like I always do using remote desktop. Each time I try it gives me this following error: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator."
I've had this server colocated for about 5 months now and I've never had any issues connecting remotely to it. Seems like Remote Desktop got broken somehow, or it's being blocked? I am an admin with logins/passwords etc. The OS is Windows Server 2003 R2, I'm not connected to a remote reboot console. I don't want to have to call the data center for remote hands on support for a restart if that's not going to fix the issue, from what I've heard they charge quite a bit.

Is there a script or program which I can use to start my game servers remotely? I am giving my friend a free game server, but the problem is that he wants the power to start/stop the server because he wants to update the binaries. I am not looking for a game server control panel, but more like a small script or program that has the power to start/stop the server. The game server I am hosting for him is Team Fortress 2. Also, it has to be free since I am not going to make any profit of this.
Game - Team Fortress 2
OS - Windows 2003 Server
Web hosting - WAMP

id like to set up apache on a spare pc i have lying around, for local dev. id like to stick it in the back of a closet (no screen, kb or mouse) but im wondering how i can best access it from my main computers. is there some kind of decent and preferably free remote desktop application that can be used for this?
i know i can access the xampp installation via the ip address, but inevitably ill also have to access whatever OS i decide to install on it (xp or ubuntu)

I've been debating this in my head in that we have a number of servers that need to mount a remote server (for backups actually) and debating about the best way of doing it. Traditionally I would use NFS but this is going to have to run over the public internet and NFS is insecure at the best of times.
Now I've got root on all the servers and I was thinking of using sshfs via fuse but just wondered if anyone had any input of the stability of it or any other way.
R1Soft wouldn't work in this method as the backups are created by the user

I 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?

I found a great little app called ID Shutdown Manager which bascially lets you do stuff like wake on LAN, Shutdown, Log Off etc.
The App also has a cgi script which you can call from a web server so you get a web interface to the program.
This is exactly my reason for getting the app as I just wanted to host a web page where I could login from the internet and wake on lan my media PC.
Ok so...
The app gives you all the iis or apache setup instructions and tells you to place the cgi script which is actually a .exe into the scripts folder and then enable basic authentication for it.
Done.
So if I navigate to <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe its supposed to give me a user / pass prompt and then when login successful I see the app and can wake on lan etc.
ok I have got this to work
on the actual machine where server is running I can access it in IE7 by localhost etc.. and it works
However when I try to access from another PC in my lan by typing <SERVER>/scripts/sdmancgi.exe I get a nice little message saying the content cannot be displayed you may require to insall a program or something to display it.
If I try to access the page from firefox on same remote PC, it works!
I can also access page from outside my LAN, it works on my N95 browser.
Also I have had friends try it from firefox from the Internet and they say it works as well.
Forgot to mention I am running on port 8081 as I already have other servers running on 8080 and 80 (one is my router and the other server installed itself from setup.exe and I dont know what server its using)
I have also tried latest apache server as well as some other free one. Both have the same effect. Ok in firefox, not in IE.
One would think its a problem with the cgi file not compatible with IE7 however, I even tried to go to default page setup in IIS <SERVER>:8081 and I get the same message. So at this point the server hasnt even tried to access CGI or prompt for Basic Authentication.
I tried googling and not much luck. I read something about CSS and when I view source of failed web page from IE7 it mentions something about CSS so dont know if this is it?
