I am running my own webserver and up untill now checked my sites on a second broadband connection. Due to an accident i can now only afford the one connection.
My question is, how can i view my sites using domain name or static ip (not local)
I am running windows server 2003
I saw a post mentioning host files but did not quite understand if that is what was deeded, I am assuming that i need to loopback somehow.
Okay, so here's the issue. I've been searching for a solution for about a week now, and just can't seem to find any information. The company that I work for had me switch their site live so I went through and changed the DNS information and pointed the A records to the new server running an online store. I waited and waited and waited for the propagation to finish so I could keep working on developing the site. I talked to our hosting company and they assured me that they were being pointed to the new server and there was no issue. I changed the DNS on my own computer to point to openDNS and I could see that it did in fact change.
We are now two weeks into the change and we can still not view the site from our network. I am in need of any ideas you can give me! If you ping the site with the default DNS server you receive the old IP Address but if you ping it with the openDNS IP in place, you receive the IP of the new server. I've gone through and run a /flushdns, /release, and /renew. I am working from a mac so advice geared towards this would be helpful however, I do have access to several machines running XP.
Again, the site has propagated across the internet, just not in our office.
I look forward to and appreciate any insight that you can offer with all of your eclectic wisdom.
Already tried: checking sshd_conf, everything is right Checking nameservers and network setting (look fine) Stopped iptables service
Problem: Eth0 have IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx i can ping this ip over wan Eth1 have a lan IP 192.168.0.10 Those two ips are listed in sshd_conf. Ssh worked fine over lan/eth1. From a extern host i can ping the eth0 ip, but not ssh over that IP. (get a timeout)
Also new containers are pingable but ssh doesn’t work. (firewall off) Webinterfaces are working well.
Hope someone have a solution, this is pretty frustration i have search over 2 days for a solution, this must be a simple thing (i hope)
but, for the people behind the router in the network can't view the site with that URL or static IP. we can only view the site with local IP of server.
Apparently, the reason is configuration something while setting up the server.
I have a web server running Server 2003 and IIS6. I can access everything fine via IP. Now I want to have a domain name work with it.
The server is in a .local domain environment. Does anyone have any info on how I should setup DNS for the web server if the domain itself is not getting any DNS info from the outside?
Is it just a matter of adding new A and NS records or do I need to be in a FQDN domain for it to work?
I have a samba server running as a NT domain controller, and a linux client computer that is joined to that domain controller. I login to the linux computer as a domain user, is it possible to assign local groups (e.g. games, floppy, video, etc) to the domain user other than modifying the /etc/group upon successful authentication? Can pam_group do what I need?
suppose my domain is mydomain.com, my sendmail may send email to any domain name except local domain, say, sendmail may send email to hotmail, yahoo or any other domain name, but when send email to emailbox under mydomain.com, sendmail log will say domain not found.
My situation is my server does not have DNS service, my DNS service is outsourced, and MX record also is outsourced.
I'm trying to accomplish two goals: First, get "Pretty Links" to work on my local Wordpress instance; second, to set up a local domain for the site.I have a fresh install of Apache 2.4.6 running, and I'll I've done is enable the rewrite and vhost_alias mods. Nevertheless, here's my apache2.conf: URL....
I need to have AllowOverride set to All. This, I gather, allows .htaccess files within the subsequent directories to alter the apache config. To try one thing at a time, I'm accessing the site from localhost/var/www/dhae/Wordpress (foregoing the domain). I tried altering the 000-default.conf to oblige this: [URL] .... -- all I added was the <Directory> section. This didn't work, and neither did changing the AllowOverride to All in the apache2.conf.
I wondered if perhaps I needed something more specific to the directory, so I tried using my second goal to accomplish this. I wrote the dhae.conf: URL....
I've also added the following line to my HOSTS file:127.0.0.1 dhae.dev
This hasn't worked either. I've tried virtual host config stuff as much as I could find, and I'm just not having any luck. What I have even came from this site (URL....).
im in the midst of doing my school final year project and i done some codings of asp pages but when i tried to upload to a linux server, i can only view the webpage with codes instead of the gui interface....i tried to upload my files to free asp host but same thing i cant view my webpages...
to upload this files online and present it to my teachers for grading...
the files are here [url]I hope i can find a free host dun need domain name with free ftp to upload these files and work properly...
Im with easyspace, we ordered an ssl with them a few weeks ago, after a few days they finally installed it for us, then they gave us some ftp details to reupload our site to, we did that but when we try and access our site now it forwards to iomartinternet.com
our website is thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk
i went and looked at my domain control panel, i see that the nameservers are pointed to ns4.easyspace.com and ns5.easyspace.com
but in the dns control panel the nameservers were ns.iomart.co.uk and ns2.iomart.co.uk
anyone have any ideas whats going on?
Im summary, i am able to ftp.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk (this works) Im able to upload files Im able to view www.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk/images but im unable to see my index page or anything else (any files or directories on my root or any other folder
I already created a www folder, public_html folder etc. etc. changed permissions on files and folders, nothing worked, anyone have a clue whats going on?

SOFTLAYER from the European perspective
Background:
I work for a value-added reseller hosting company in the Northern Europe and take care of server provisioning, offer request and service definition for our company needs.
We have used this company for the business hosting needs for over a year - we do yearly offer rounds and move our services should the need arise. Currently we are not hosting with Softlayer.
Experience is based on one dedicated server AMD Opteron 1216 with 4GB, 2x500GB RAID1 and Plesk 100 - location Dallas and Washinton DC facility. Reviewed services; control panel, private networking, help desk, sales support
Overview:
Softlayer has been in business for a while. They offer wide range of servers from single processor multicore to quad processor multicore servers. They have 3 different facilities in U.S; Seattle, Dallas and Washington DC. There are no Softlayer facilities available in Europe, but they do offer services to European customers as well. ( which is not the case with all the U.S based providers ) They offer fully automated services, an integrated control panel, developer API and wide range of software solutions for their server range plus number of other services that we have no experience with.
Privacy Policy:
Standard privacy policy with one side note; Softlayer follows the EU privacy protection laws and participates in the EU Safe Harbor program. This is more important for us Europeans; we are obliged to treat customer data in a specific way. (It's a long story, I'm going to spare you from the details)
Contract terms:
Monthly contract with server cancellation, at the latest 3 days prior the monthly anniversary. The cancellation can be done with the customer control panel. No questions asked - you do get a sales rep email and confirmation enquiry surely, for your own protection.
Installation
The server provisioning was really fast - in a few hours we had fully functioning server available with the specs as ordered and tested. This was a great service, we've had experiences with 10 day provisioning times.
Control Panel ( Customer Portal):
Softlayer customer portal is a comprehensive one. You can handle everything related to your server with a click of a button; reboots, OS reloads, reconfigurations, support requests and sales orders. One of the notable features was the ability to test firewall settings with external scanning provided by SL; easily done with a novice understandable report and suggestions.
You can give different access rights, access levels to users and share the control panel with the system administrators and support people. Overall usability of the control panel is good, navigation is simple, the screen is calm and there are no distractive elements. Softlayer has done a rather good job in handling comprehensive set of features in customer control panel.
For a beginner, the control panel can be a bit overwhelming though - it has been designed for the professional administrators with tens/hundreads of servers and whilst supporting this purpose well, a novice user would feel more confident with more narrow set of features. My preference for the novice user would be the server-centric usability focus; choose the server you manage and then the tasks related to that specific server. Help could be more easily available; there is a comprehensive knowledge base, but task oriented help is not necessarily available where the task is at the control panel.
Out of 10 points, Softlayer deservers 8,5 to the customer portal
Private Network
This is one of the brand marks of the Softlayer. They offer an excellent private network with PPTP & SSL access. The bandwidth is unlimited between you and your servers and even between your servers. You can truly shut down the external traffic to your server and still manage it from the background. The access is granted using PPTP (1 user) or SSL browser access with (Java plugin?). I used the PPTP, so the experience with SSL is limited.
This feature is free, which is exceptional. The true value comes when you have several servers with Softlayer and you interchange data between server. For single server owner this is of a less benefit, but surely a secure feature to access your server. The setup for private networking is seamless, easy to understand for a novice and wins my vote hands down
Out of 10 points, Softlayer deserves 9 for their private networking.
Network
Softlayer network is well connected, a connection to Northern Europe is around 80 - 100 ms from the WDC data center, it is barely noticeable for standard web user. During the year with SL, we did not experience any problems with their network connections. Some minor issues with private networking side ( nothing to do with SL )
Out of 10 points, Softlayer deserves 8 for their network connections to Europe
Help desk
Support ticket system; the response times are adequate, but you can sense that there is a night in the U.S and day in Europe. The response time improves at our night time and the tone tends to get more cheerful in the evenings. The responses were always professional though, and we never had a problem that wasn't resolved in a matter of an hour. The hardware was replaced and problems solved efficiently.
Out of 10 points, Softlayer deserves 8 for their helpdesk (If I were in U.S, I might give a 9)
Sales
Like with any service provider contact their sales before ordering; you might get lucky and get unlisted offers and pricing for your server. Softlayer has a good sales staff, but the service level is not consistent . If you are lucky, you might get a sales person not the "I just working here" - type. Their sales people are cheerful, genuine problem solvers and would like to find you the best alternative - the "I just work here" will read their price list and give you exactly what you asked; ie. they might have a great offer on AMD opteron 1216, but you asked for 1212. You'll get what you asked for - not the great offer available. Reason being, "you never asked".
Out of 10 points, I give 8 for the Softlayer sales.
Server pricing
Softlayer is not cheap and not even competitive always. The have a new outlet for bargain servers, but their pricing seems to start with USD119 what ever the case or name of the bargain is. Before signing-up with them, you should always do your own shopping around.
Out of 10 points, I give 7 for the Softlayer pricing
Conclusion
I would suggest Softlayer to any business owner with some experience and with several dedicated servers. For the novice user, with some reservations - maybe a smaller hosting provider would be better to start with. Their technical service is professional, coherent and they certainly know what they are doing.
Softlayer has an impressive service offering, especially with their private networking, but you need to be prepared to pay for it as well.
Is there a way to see what was happening on the server the last 24 hours for example in WHM ? A log or something.. To see if there was any high loads etc..
I am running Plesk on a VPS and a page on one of my websites won't load no matter what I try, I want to view the error logs but aren't sure how to go about it on this system...
