How To Make An Image Of A Server And It's Current Configuration
Sep 8, 2008
I have had 2 drives fail on me in 2 weeks, and had to completely redo my server's configuration and security.
I would like to tell my tech to make an image of the current server, just so that the firewall and settings are all saved, and can be restored if this happpens again.
How should I go about doing this, and what can I tell my tech to do so that he does this in the best, most efficient way?
I have 2 live websites on there now (not an insane amountt of traffic), so I am assuming the sites current state will be in the image, which I don't mind, as I can just restore a recent site backup if the site happens to go down again.
Please let me know your thoughts!
( i am assuming i should try to delete as much junk off of the server as possible to make the image smaller)
I haven't been able to find much about this searching, but are people using NAS storage to deliver website images? I've never used NAS before and am not familiar with their performance.
i have set up a sever with certain software exactly the way i want it. However, there is some extra stuff i need to install on it.
I am running Centos 5.1 and would like to run some command possibly via ssh which would create an entire image of the server in a disk format such as ISO and then if need be, reinstall the basic operating system and restore the ISO back up if need be.
Is this possible?
If so how and how would i restore the image as well?
I need to find out what would be the best software to run an image website for one of my clients, there is only one domain so I've considered using LiteSpeed Standard (Free)... What server do you think would be the best?
All I need is PHP support for the image viewer software.
I am working on a website that is running on IIS that cannot load any images larger than say 4KB to an outside connection. On the local LAN that this box is connected to the page loads without any issues. However, as soon as it goes out through our Microsoft ISA 2006 server to a public site it will not load images or you get only some of the image loading.
I own a social network generating over 50 million page views a month. Currently, I use only one massive server. I want to add in a new server just for image serving, as my current server is killing me with high bandwidth costs.
Server A runs the website and the logic Server B runs runs the images
What would be a good architecture between the two servers, given that they ARE NOT IN THE SAME hosting infrastructure (SoftLayer is not a great option if you want alot of bandwidth)
If a user changes his photo on Server A which runs the site, somehow Server B must be notified and gets a hold of the new image..... what would be the most technically feasible and optimum way to achieve this?
I just got a new server, and for some reason it is as though it always sends out codes to your browser to completely reload (like hard refresh) all images... Even if you hit "Refresh" in firefox, it wants to reload ALL Images. I uploaded the same EXACT files/webpage that it is doing this to on another server and it treats it normally, Firefox caches it. But on my server it wants to reload the images each and every time.
Tried on multiple computers, same thing.
Anyone know where this 'setting' might be? I do have full access to the server, though I was not the one to set it all up initially.
I have a server with SoftLayer which is based on the Xeon 3060 with 2GB RAM and 2x250GB Hard Drives setup as soft raid using Windows 2003.
I am now looking at two options for an MS Exchange Server 2003 with 25 user licences. I can either get a new dual core AMD server with 2GB and 2x250GB hard drives in soft RAID 1 for about $170-$180 or I could bump the specifications of the current server by adding additional 2GBs (for total of 4GB), another 250GB hard drive with the 3Com RAID controller (for 500GB RAID5 setup) and possibly a quad core CPU upgrade when SL introduces it. The total cost for upgrades would total to $110. I already have a Windows 2003 server license that I can utilize.
I have a dedicated that is oversized for the task (Q6600, 8gig RAM, Sata Raid-10 array), which is running a medium/small vBulletin site.
I have thought about providing free image hosting for the members, so I could have 100-300 people hosting sig images and other graphics on the server, which they in turn would link into forums and other places which could create quite a few requests for those graphics.
Is there anyway to quantify what type of load this static, image hosting would create?
The server currently is typically around .05 to .1 server load with nearly flatlined CPU's.
Anyone know where i could find some software like this, it looks about 6 years old www.hallogram.com/leadtool/imgsrv ( see meta tags )
the software is for generating images like this through the querystring localhost/images/53065_383.fpx?wid* =167&ftr=8&effect=dropshadow,0x000* 000,10,8,120,8&cvt=jpeg
the closest i have found is www.scene7.com/solutions/dynamic_imaging.asp (its only a web service) and over 10k yearly
I have a solution on how remotely using IP KVM and WinPX to install images-based windows server.
But we need a solution that can automate this process.
This is because I need to provide a hight availably service, and if our web cluster is taking hight load I want to be able to clone a new server for master image and get it work in a cluster.
i want to make one web site i want to show there some movies same like youtube but my video will on media player .i want to make own server for hosting and i need more than 1tb storage .i don,t know which thing i need for own server .i just found there these kind of things Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2150 500GB i don,t know it will work for me or not
I've recently ordered two new servers with Windows OS, and am wondering how I go about making sure the hard drives I ordered are the ones actually installed, and the RAM i ordered is the ram actually installed.
I know the amount of ram and amount of diskspace is correct by Properties and My Computer but not sure how to figure out the others.
how to make MySQL functions in PHP in server,bcz when i intall VB in my dedicated server it comeing is there is any option in WHM to chnage these funtion!
I want to make a website but I dont want to pay the hosting fees. I have a few old but pretty powerful old computers sitting around my house just collecting dust. Is there a way to make a web hosting server from those old computers to host my site? They have umbutu and I can make them dedicated.
I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.
The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.
Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)
I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
we've been running our software on apache 1.3 for years with no problems. We have a new server running apache2 and now none of our mod_rewrite works. Is there something extra that needs to be done with apache 2 to get mod_rewrite working? The module is definitely loaded (first thing I checked). If we turn on allowOverride from None to All in the httpd.conf we get completely blank pages. Our regular php pages work fine with allowoverride set to none, but they all break when it is set to all. Please help. This is the second time we have run into this on apache 2 servers.
My server load on my server is very high, but my server is not slow, my memory usage is fine, my CPUs are handling everything fine so it's not really a problem... except I've got a lot of "sleeping processes" which seem to increase the server load but not affect the server really.
My problem is, cpbackup refuses to run when it decides the server load is too high. So, is there a way to make it run no matter what the server load is? Because I do want backups to run again...
The server load never goes down because these things are always running, so running it at early hours of the morning doesn't make a difference.
