How To Access Another Computer "locally"
Feb 3, 2008
Here's my problem:
1) I have a website running on a Linux server somewhere
2) I have a big hard drive at home with a bunch of videos.
3) I want to be able to manipulate the videos at home from the server. I want to be able to do this like run ffmpeg commands on it to get the video length, or create a thumbnail from any frame of the video.
Here are the caveats:
- I do NOT want the complete video to be uploaded to the server every time i have to manipulate a video. In the case of thumbnailing, the processing should be done on my home computer, but the output should be copied over to the server.
- Speed is not an issue. This doesnt have to be the fastest solution in the world.
- My home computer is running linux now, but I can change it to whatever I want.
- My server is a shared host; I do not have full root access. However, my host is kind enough to give me reasonable leverage.
I'm thinking the way that this could happen would be by mounting my home computers disk on the server so that I can access the files "locally". I don't know how to do this though, or even if this is the right way to do this.

I'm moving from my old XP PC to a new PC with Vista (a mistake, but that's a different story).
I'm trying to set up some sites in IIS so that I can develop locally without having to publish to a remote web server.
I've installed IIS7 from the control panel, and am now looking to set up my first site. I've put the site name in, and the path to the site on the computer, but I'm getting an error in the 'bindings' section. I've left all of this empty because I don't know what it means (it didn't ask for any of this in IIS on XP) but when I try to add the site it gives me the following error:
"The binding '*:80:' is assigned to another site. If you assign the same binding to this site, you will only be able to start one of the sites. Are you sure that you want to add this duplicate binding?"
Does anyone know what to do here? I'll need to add about 100 domains to IIS so I want them all to be accessible locally. How do I do this?

My website is hosted locally on my network, so I'm unable to view the .com address for it (i can only access through the local IP address). This makes it really hard to test throughly.
Is there any way to view this website from how it would be outside the network? I know i can do it from another location but I need a solution that is right here. I do not have a off site computer i can remote desktop to either.

I currently have an Apache server running PHP and Mysql on my MacBook Pro.
I also have a copy of Parallels running, which hosts a Windows OS. In OSX, I have multiple VirtualHosts set up, and they all work great when accessed from OSX. All the sites are within my "Sites" directory. Now, when I browse to my Macs ip address in windows, I only get shown my Sites folder, and get shown the directory.
How would I be able to access these local sites as I do in OSX? I have tried configuring my hosts file in Windows, but it doesnt help.

Plesk delivering email locally to a not existing mailbox instead of sending it to an external party. First I was using a local mailbox, but my client wanted to control the email using their own server. So I've changed the MX records to this new server. Deleted the inbox in Plesk and turned off Mail support for this domain.
New situation: DNS server for domain.com is hosted on a different location and points to my Plesk server for the website and the MX records point to the clients server for the mail.
Email send from email addresses like gmail are send correctly to the clients server. Email addresses from my PLesk server and forms from the website are send locally.

I've a box running Linux Plesk 12.0.18 + Postfix and hosting mydomain.com. Email service is hosted by an external provider.
The problem is that I can't write to postmaster@mydomain.com because Postfix tries to deliver it locally.
What I've already done:
Configured MX record on DNS to point the external provider's server.
Disabled mail service for the TLD from plesk panel or with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --off mydomain.com
The problem still remains.
I think I'm facing on Plesk 12 the same problem described here and elsewhere on this forum for Plesk 9: [URL]

We need to upload to a virtual server (managed with Plesk 11.5) a Wordpress site developed locally. We made this operations without problems many times on other hostings managed with custom panels, non-Plesk.
On the virtual server with Plesk, however, once the files are uploaded via FTP, the database via phpMyAdmin and updated the Wordpress configuration file, when you go to visit the website, it does not display anything and the browser opens the download window for a text file called "download" that contains the code of the file index.php of WordPress.

I was just wondering if there is a way to control your website (that is, uploading, editing and so on) when you do not have access to your own "home-computer". You do have access to other computers and the internet, but these computers do not have your local root folder of course.
So is there a way to control your website, let's say, when you are on vacation.

I recently logged into my Windows Server 2003 OS Server via Remote Desktop and was met with a message/box saying Why did this computer shutdown. It had a dropdown field for a reason and then empty text fields for Problem ID and Comment.
What steps can I take to figure out what happened?
Server is a fresh install of Win Server 2003

I have been using Vista 32-bit with FileZilla for 2-years on this computer. I haven't made any recent changes to my system, but suddently NO FTP clients work.
I tried FileZilla and FireFTP (firefox extension). Neither can connect. FileZilla just gives a timeout error. FireFTP has been "connecting" for 5-minutes. No success.
I tried to bypass my Linksys router and go directly through my cable model. They still do not work.
I *CAN* connect to an FTP site using telnet command.

Is there any idea as to how this can happen? and is there any way to find out that badware on my website?

If I get a reseller account with like 50 gigs more space (or any amount) than I actually use, can I use some of that space I'm paying for to backup my home computer? This isn't really a question of how (although I'll accept advice) but more a question of 'is this typically allowed' or 'does anybody else do this'?

I am trying to install Apache + PHP on Windows XP SP2. I managed to get Apache working. However, when I setup PHP and tried to access a page with <?php phpinfo(); ?> it displayed nothing but a blank page. When I viewed the source is showed the PHP, therefore it was not parsed...
I have checked and double checked my paths, I have tried doing it as a module and cgi, I have read tutorial after tutorial and I cannot get it to function properly.
Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5

to ship 2 machines to LINX and DECIX from the US, and obviously need either adapters or just new cables. I'm just not certain what plug type is used at both or either location. I guess I'm looking for information similar to like what we have here in the US (NEMA 1-15 or NEMA 2-20).
I'm looking at these adapters:
Grounded CEE7/7 - Germany
British BS 1363 - UK

I have 3 computers on the same network. One running apache2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and the others with Windows7. I want to access the website I set up from a Windows machine. When I type in the URL, domain.com, I get a 404 error. When I type in 127.0.1.1/domain.com I get the directory listing for the website. I have to actually type 127.0.1.1/domain.com/public_html/ before the website can actually be seen. I would like to get rid of the public_html part. I am brand new to all this.
