I have a problem. to buy dedicated server but I don't really know what to buy. I need some kind of stress test for server so that I can be assured that my website won't crash when it will be on front page of digg. Does something like that even exists?
View 7 RepliesI'm having issues after changing my system time and rebooting for whatever reason it didn't take effect but now my VMWare servers wont boot. I get this error when trying to run a vmware-cmd
[root@plexus ~]# /usr/bin/vmware-cmd -l
/usr/bin/vmware-cmd: Could not connect to vmware-authd
(VMControl error -14: Unexpected response from vmware-authd: 511 Error connecting to /usr/sbin/vmware-serverd process.)
[root@plexus ~]#
also when i try logging into the web interface same error.
to implement a chat but I need that it wont overwhelm the server if is easy to set up it would be even better!
I am trying phpfreechat which uses ajax files as container, is that method better than using mysql as a acontainer?
So this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works
I recently bought a 2nd hand HP/Compaq ProLiant DL360 G3.
I've been checking some places to co-locate, rapidswitch & racksrv both look good but I'm still trying to figure out how much my peak power usage is during start up.
I've been googling to try and find out how, but I have had no luck.
So basically, my question is, How can I measure the peak power usage(in amps) during start up?
Sorry if this has already been asked(I did do a search but didn't find anything relevent).
the specs are:
Processor: 2 x Xeon 2.8GHz
Memory: 1.5GB RAM (looking to upgrade to 3GB)
Hard Drive: HP 36.4GB Ultra320 10K SCSI Hot Swap
FDCServers offers a couple of bandwidth options:
100MBit Unmeterd
Gigabit Unmetered
Add $300 Monthly for 50Mbit Average
Add $500 Monthly for 100Mbit Average
To quote their TOS: 1Gbit Un-metered Service Plan: Each server is connected via private (non-shared) 1Gbit port to the FDC 81 Gbit backbone shared by all servers subscribed to FDC’s un-metered service plans. The bandwidth is NOT dedicated. Servers on the 1Gbit un-metered service plan can expect average 30000GB-50000GB/month throughput on outbound transfer (from the server to the internet) and up to 300TB/month throughput on inbound transfer (from the internet to the server);
100Mbit Un-metered Service Plan: Each server is connected via private (non-shared) 100Mbit port to the FDC 81 Gbit backbone shared by all servers subscribed to FDC’s un-metered service plans. The bandwidth is NOT dedicated. Servers on the 100Mbit un-metered service plan can expect average 10TB/month (10000GB/month) throughput on outbound transfer (from the server to the internet) and up to 30TB/month throughput on inbound transfer (from the internet to the server);
This is my current usage (increasing):
Max Avg Cur Total
To Internet 43.58 Mbits/s 14.02 Mbits/s 31.97 Mbits/s 1,969.8 Gbytes
From Internet 4.47 Mbits/s 573.4 Kbits/s 1.17 Mbits/s 79.0 Gbytes
TOTAL 48.05 Mbits/s 14.58 Mbits/s 33.14 Mbits/s 2,048.8 Gbytes
You can fing my MRTG graph here:
jebbe.com/bw.png
(cant use VB code < 5 posts)
They guarantee nothing, but what is the probability my site will suffer from a lack of bandwidth during peak ours? And what package would be right for me? Or should I avoid them and pick someone else?
I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5
AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded)
webmin
usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
An automatic backup in plesk has filled up the disk space in my VPS. It seemed to crash first of all - couldn't access my website, then i tried to restart it. It wont restart and comes up with the error below.
As i can't get into plesk i don't know how to delete these old backup files, seem to be in a catch 22. Help

I have in my possession a new server which is running cPanel. For some unknown reason it keeps crashing about every 4-6 hours where I must get a remote reboot done.
Its starting to annoy me that I'm unable connect to anything. What I suspect is high disk red/write. As what I'm finding is over 10k blocks being written per second with only 300 being read per second. I also am not seeing any bandwidth out/in usage being high.
I have a dedicated server with NyNOC and earlier on today the server dissapeared off the net, wouldn't respond to ssh, http etc, nor pings
I submitted a ticket and the server got rebooted, went through the FSCK check and came back up ok, but now I'm concerned as to what caused it
Andy the technician said he couldn't find out the reason why and neither can I
I can only put it down to PERHAPS faulty hardware somewhere?
The /var/log/messages file doesn't say anything useful, the last entries show..

You can see it was down for some 6 hours, but I can't find a reason why
Diskspace is ample, there's no odd programs/scripts installed (it's a Centos server running whm with CSF firewall)
I reboot my cpanel server twice last night and it had crash
I am now running e2fsck and it's trying to fix the inode thing.. i've been pressing <y> 10000 times! Poor thing my fingers cramp
I've been thinking to mount my primary drive into another cpanel server (not a fresh server) as secondary drive and restore from there. The question is how? I need detailed steps by steps as it's urgent for me..
I just got a new server the other day, installed cpanel and all my usual stuff in it.
Then I started transferring some accounts off my other server on the same network. It would transfer small accounts ok but I have this one big account,. the sql is like 300 mb. It would get to the restore on it then the server would crash and be totally unresponsive.
It has to be manually rebooted at the datacenter. There is nothing in any logs. At first I thought it was the load getting hi and doing it but I ran the unix bench and got the load to 14 and it didnt hurt it.
It only does this on restoring big sql db. At the dc they say the screen on the console goes blank.
Ive done looked and cant find anything in the box. Its actually the same exact setup I use for my other servers.
So the dc is looking at it today. Has anyone ever ran into a problem like this and if so what was the cause?
What could cause the following on one of our servers?
Rebooted and was fine.
May have happened before, will have to dig deeper into logs.

we have dual xeon linux server redhat 9 / cpanel
we have a strange crash .... you cant access ftp /ssh / httpd ...
i need to request a server reboot to get access ... and everything after this run ok...
i have check message log .. nothing in it for example
10:20:10 ftp log
11:15:60 rebootlog
also the same in httpd log ...
so as you see there is a gab between the server crash till reboot....
this happen 3 times till now ...
The Apache server on one of my box crashed last night and the log file simply states:
[Fri Mar 09 23:51:49 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
One thing puzzled me is that there are a couple of symbolic links created in Apache home directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar 9 23:51 build;45f23959 -> ../../usr/lib/httpd/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 9 23:51 logs;45f23959 -> ../../var/log/httpd
They were created around the same time when Apached stopped.
Has anyone seen similar things like this? What could be the root cause?
My server is constantly crashing (halting to dead) and needing reboot literally every few hours. I cannot trace the cause of this whatsoever. Please help out.
CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage shows no accounts in red or yellow zone ....
I have a windows 2003 server with Plesk installed. It keeps crashing and requires a reboot every couple of days.
Here are screenshots of event logs and task manager.
Also, its a Pentium HT with 1GB memory, so it isn't too slow for Windows.
I have a lynix root server with 1and1.com and recently the server has been going down I have no access to FTP/the sites or root. Their support tells me to look in var/log but im not sure what file to look in or what im looking for as far as to why the server would crash.
So far my solution has been to re boot the server and it has been working but i need to find the cause of this...any suggestions on where to look or what to look for?
I have server load like 40.
Nothing lags.
Server has RAM usage 20% and CPU usage goes up to 25%
Swap isnt used at all.
Should I be afraid of server crash incase server load goes up to 60 or 80 without ram and cpu usage rising that much?
I have a Linux server running some reasonable setups:
Opteron 180, 4 GB RAM, running 8x 36gb 15k scsi with hardware raid 10 -- this is one of the servers from WebNX advertised here not long ago
Running CentOS 4(?), Apache2/MySql 4/PHP5.2, the normal stuff.
I have only one main site on the server, which runs a pretty old PostNuke CMS in Chinese (0.7.2.3 Phoenix) + PNphpBB2 + Gallery 1.5.7 (all integrated into PostNuke). This site is pretty light in "human" traffic, getting about 20K hits per day.
Now, the problem I have noticed with this site, is related to the many MP3 files stored in the Gallery albums. There are lots of HTTP requests to these files, most maybe from Chinese search engine bots (judging from IP), that slows the server to a crawl and even crashes Apache. This happens in the late hours here when it's day time in China. As a matter of fact I just did a reboot, and in 5 minutes there are more than 1000 HTTP requests to MP3 files resulting in a traffic of 2.1+ Gb. So within minutes, the server is brought to its knees again and I can't even get the "apache status" from CPanel now: "Unable to retrieve apache status".
The company that manages the server for me said there's no security problem here. We have installed an Apache extension to limit the number of simultaneous requests to media files to 1. However that doesn't seem to help.
for months my server has been running fine, since about a week ago the server crashed and was up and down
the fault was found to be faulty ram which has been replaced.
now I have had every tom, dick & harry take a look at the server to get it stable again but im still having issues.
The server seems to run fine but crashes when I try and repair or backup my database.
the database is large like 30gig but the server used to do this fine before but it wont now, it get so far then hangs.
Server:
Dual Core Xeon
4GB Ram
2x 250GB HDD
Raid 1
My RAM is 2G.
The cache memory of my server is eating, After 2 weeks, the cache memory is below 1G, then the server crashed.
After I reboot the machine, the cache memory back to normal. But it starts to eating again.
I have attached the graph.
I am using lighttpd, php, mysql
The company I work for unfortunately runs their site on a IIS server. I want to install some forum software, vBulletin or phpBB onto the server and run it on the same site. PHP of course needs to be installed to do this.
Boss is worried that putting PHP on same server as ASP might take down the site if something goes wrong. What are the odds of this happening if I follow directions and what steps should I take to install?
I am running FC2 with cPanel.
My server stopped responding to everything from http to ping and I had to do a hard reboot on it.
Now, I'd like to figure out what happened but am not sure where to start. I've been sifting through /var/log/messages but can't pin point what I'm looking for.
i have windows 03 server getting ddosed many times. attack was upto 2gbit so any way to stop it?
Would a higher connection speed/bandwidth limit help? And about load balancing, would more servers help prevent the DDoS?
if any of you could give a quick idea on the set up times for dedicated servers from ECATEL
I paid 515 euros 9 days ago, and the server still hasn't been set up (Hardware delivery problems I have been told) and before I ordered, they stated the setup time would be 48 hours.
Is this normal? The last email i received from them was 3 days ago.
I find this completley unproffesional, It is always another few days.
What are your experiences with them? I am utterly dissapointed so far.
way to keep server times synchronized? All servers are in the same location.
For example, a website has two web servers and one database server. What's the best way to keep the time syncd on all servers (they should be the exact same time really)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a VPS package hosted at Hosting-IE from someone I knew, since they were not going to be able to use it. Its a linux VPS, and it's done me well. Based on that I decided to purchase my own package, a Windows VPS.
After payment, I messaged support about a broken auto response email they sent out, then asked how long server setup time should be. They responded 1-2 working days. Fine.
Well, its been 7 days since then. I'm 1/4 of the way through the month I've paid for, and still no VPS. I messaged them back asking for my server or a refund, no responses since then.
My previous host set up my dedicated box within a working day, and that involved setting up the hardware too. Over a week for a VPS is too long.
Is my experience with Hosting-IE abnormal or should I be demanding my loot back? Is there any other VPS provider out there that can offer me similar stats at the same price as Hosting-IE?
for a simple package setup, this has gone on for far too long.
I've got a housed server within my customer's datacenter. I consider application runs ok, but it goes very slow.
I consider it's due to their connection (DSL) and installed another provisional server with a simple "Hello World" and no traffic. I'm to install the same server within another datacenter, and would like to find an external tool to certify connectivity times.
Do you know any of these tools? I'm not searching tools like 'Apache AB' or 'HP httperf', but public online services.
