IIS Web Server
This past year our high school purchased a web server for Web Design classes to post their created pages to. This is great news, but as a teacher I’m not versed on its capabilities or functions. Over the course of the year, I got the students to post their pages through FTP process, but I’d like to add other features similar to those offered by other hosts. We are not going to be in the business to host pages, other than learning how-to.
Things I see that I’d like to add and need direction:
Email
Control Panel – to allow student interaction.
2.0 technology (if you will)
something similar to, but not limited to:
Simple Scripts
Fantastico
I have asked that they install mysql and php and they did. Where do I go from here?

IIS Web Gardens
I'm going to be launching a new site soon, and it will run on Win 2K3 with IIS 6. But I'm looking to get maximum responsiveness and speed from the thing, and wanted to get your opinions and thoughts on IIS web gardens. For those unfamiliar, web gardens are an IIS feature that creates multiple IIS worker processes to handle incoming requests. Kind of like a mini web farm, but on a single machine. Having multiple worker processes is valuable in that if one gets tied up or crashes, the others can continue to serve requests and only the people being handled by the problematic worker process notice an issue. It also allows the system to handle more than the 64k connections limit. My question is what is the optimal number of worker processes per CPU? For example, on a dual core processor (2 logical CPUs) with 4GB memory, would it be better to run 2 worker processes, 4, 8, more? This server is going to be highly optimized toward webserving...so it can afford to use a large amount of RAM and CPU time for it. My first thought is to give each logical CPU 4 worker processes. But I've not used web gardening in a production environment and so it's kind of a guess at this point.

Does IIS 5.1 Allow Multiple Web Sites On XP Pro
Just getting started with IIS on Windows XP Pro. One thing I have a question about is why don't I have an option to 'create new website' when I right click on the Web Sites node? Am I only allowed to use Default Web Site? Also, I know it's not a rights issue because I'm logged in as administrator. I'm looking at IIS on our server which has Windows Server 2003. On that machine I can create multiple web sites by right clicking on the Web Sites node? Is this just not an option with XP Pro?

Reverse Proxy Apache ==> IIS, Need Custom Error Pages Triggered On IIS Side
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, or if anyone can suggest a message board where I might get support on this. This is what I have. I have Apache and IIS both running on Windows 2k3. Apache is running in reverse Proxy mode sending multiple domains/virtual hosts to IIS. Code: ProxyRequests Off <VirtualHost *:80> ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080 ProxyPassReverse / [url] ServerName mydomain.com </VirtualHost> Now, if I type in [url]everything works great and IIS (listening on 127.0.0.1:8080) serves the page. However, I am doing custom error trapping, so when I type in [url](and /mydirectory doesn't exist on IIS) I need to fire ASP code (via custom error messages/handling) on the IIS server and then present a data driven page. However, Apache is returning A 502 error: Code: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /mydirectory. Reason: DNS lookup failure for: localhost:8080mydirectory Is there a way for me to setup Apache to pass all error checking to IIS while using it as a reverse proxy?

Pointing Subdomain To Different Server With IIS - How
I have a server running IIS that I have a primary website hosted on, let's call it...foo.com So foo.com is hosted and setup through IIS, resolving fine. Now, I have created a site on a different server (not on the same network) to run a subdomain called 'local.foo.com'. How do I get IIS to point all traffic for local.foo.com to the IP of the server hosting the subdomain? I tried adding a hostname to the primary domain in IIS through "Properties" > "Web Site" > "Advanced" but I am stilling getting the Invalid Request Bad Host Name error.

Using IIS SMTP Server Under Win2k
I've been trying to find some instructions on how to set up IIS SMTP server so that I can test my web site's php mailing form but I haven't had much luck. I've got a win2k box running the webserver and the IIS SMTP server, behind a router that is connected to my ISP. IIS is running, and I've gone through the properties tabs to set up the as described at: [url] including setting up localhost to be allowed to relay. Then I try to manually send an e-mail using telnet as described at [url] but I get an error '501 5.5.4 invalid address' when I try to enter the line rcpt to:myemail@hotmail.com. Other times it hasn't given me this error but I find the message sitting in the queue without any delivery address. I get the same error on the apache log when trying to send mail via my php website forms. I'm sure there is some simple thing I'm not doing right, but I've been at this for a while and thought it was time to ask.

Configuring Php/mysql On IIS Server
I have setup php and mysql on a windows IIS 6 server. php has installed fine and works but I have 2 problems 1. When i browse to http://localhost i get a 403 error but when browsing to http://localhost/index.php it works fine. It makes me think that the server does not know what extension to default to when doing a directory listing 2. I have phpmyadmin installed and the cfg file is set to do a 'config' authentication. That works but everytime i go to submit a form to create a new database or anything i get prompted with an HTTP user/pass. I'm not sure if this is a phpmyadmin issue or a php configuration issue

Windows Server 2003 IIS Issues
I have a windows server 2003 server with IIS 6 installed on it. My site runs fine, then all of a sudden becomes VERY slow. I asked server hosts to take a look at it, and they noticed an IP that is has attempted to connect on port 80 432 times in a few seconds, causing the site to slow down. Is there any software i can use to try and combat this spam/abuse? I have a trend micro anti-virus and firewall installed on the server. I have blocked that IP, but there is nothing stopping that from changing. Also, are there any free/cheap server monitoring tools for the server that i can monitor the server remotely with? The server has SNMP installed and configured according to my server hosts... watever that is.

IIS Transparent Server-side Redirection
I've been asked to find a way to host our intranet externally without opening up the network. The webserver accessible to the public domain is within an dmz. The intranet I need to serve is within our internal network. I've managed to convince our network admin to open port 80 on the server running the intranet but I can't seem to find a way to proxy the content from the intranet server, through the webserver and to the user.

Renaming them .php allows them to work. However, I am struggling to set a default page - I have gone to 'document' in the IIS settings, and removed all other default pages, and added index.php. This has not worked. I can access xxx.myserver.com/index.php, but it does not show when accessing xxx.myserver.com

New Dedicated Server - IIS Log Full Of 404s
I have a dedicated server plan for a few months now and host a few sites. I noticed my IIS log files were rather large and found that its loaded with 404s - over 50,000/day. Based on the referrer data in the log file, one domain in particular was the main culprit. After contacting the webmaster, he replied that he used to have a dedicated server (same provider) with the same IP address as mine. I don't know why but a lot of his web content used explicit IP address rather than domain name. He purged a few bad references but the problem is he had a gaming site using flash games and there are literally thousands of swf files distributed in many places all referencing my IP. I guess my question is - Is this a fairly normal occurrence and simply just a nuisance? I estimate that it's costing me < 10GB/month in bandwidth based on number of 404s and the size of the 404.htm (2k). Should I be taking other action? Sorry for long-winded explanation.

[Windows Server 2003] Launcing Applications With PHP&IIS
I am attempting to use PHP on a IIS6 server to run console applications. There is no issues with my PHP code as it works on my own computer however it fails when tested on my Windows Server 2003 server. The script it designed to execute a command that runs the program however the program does not run. If I manually type the command in command prompt while logged in via Remote Desktop the application launches in a new console window. Could the problem be with the fact its trying to launch a new console window and since the user account its using is just a IIS account it can't create the console window? If so, without editing the actual program code or creating a service, how can I configure Windows to execute the program?

301 Redirect From Index.htm Index.asp Using Limited IIS Server
I am implementing one of my clients new sites ( the old site is written in plain html), and their new site uses ASP on every page. The problem is that their old index.htm page has a pagerank of 4 which we want to keep. And I have been advised that i need to do a 301 redirect to pass that PageRank onto their new index.asp page. The other problem is that they are on a shared IIS hosting solution (with FastHosts), and obviously I don;t have total control over the server so cannot get into the root control panel. My question is, whats the IIS alternative to .htaccess, which can be implemented on a limite-controlled IIS server? JavaScript, I have heard is completely out the question

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point. I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall. Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports. What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks. My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql. The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server. I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work. Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server? I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server? I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.

Using A Second Web Server
in a site to help save some Ram: Use a 2nd server You can use a tiny, lightning fast server to handle static documents & images, and pass any more complicated requests on to Apache on the same machine. This way Apache won't tie up its multi-megabyte processes serving simple streams of bytes. You can have Apache only get used, for example, when a php script needs to be executed. is this Good? if yes how could it be done, having apache and another one at the same time

Web Server
we have 2 servers at different data centres we have successfully managed to have 2 A names that point to 2 different ip's/data centres so if we switch one server off the other is there seamlessly which wouldn't be a problem and is ideal for a website that doesn't rely on a database because you cant guarantee what server you will be viewing, so we need to find a way of having normal mysql replication (master/slave) on both servers but have the slave server hidden/disabled until the master server goes down then have the slave server come to life someway,

Outside my network i can type my WAN IP (72.72.x.x:8080) and see my files. I bought a domain and used zoneedit to assign it to their DNS and am using the Zone edit updater to update my ip because it is dynamic and always changes. The zoneedit looks like its working because my current ip always shows up on the zone edit website..and running nslookup mydomain.com, the current ip also shows BUT when i type mydomain.com in a browser, it says that teh page cannot be found...

Web Server Has Been Attacked
Server info: Windows 2003 box Dedicated server currently hosted at the planet. Problem: It would appear there has been a security breach into the server recently. This morning we cleared off a Trojan, and also a new user that had been created on the server. All of our websites we host (around 200) had been affected. Almost every file had new javascript or links to an .swf, they load in iframes and are very malicious, actually giving any vistor to the site a virus. I tracked down the embed code that I found in most files appended to the end of each file. Below shows up in most .asp, .cfm, .html files (no spaces, just can't paste a url in here yet)... <scRipT s rc=[url] <scRipT sr c=[url] Below shows up any any .js file (no spaces, just can't paste a url in here yet)... document.writeln ("<script sr c=[url] document.writeln ("<script sr c=[url] So I got a script that opens up every file looking for this code and stripping it out. Seemed to work at first, but now all the sites have been rewritten again..... and again. So obviously something is overwriting this.

Web Server Logging
Firstly this question is not related to running a web hosting business, but to dedicated servers hosting our own websites. I was just wondering, other than security reasons, what is the importance (if any) of keeping Apache/WWW logs? Are there legal reasons? If it is best to keep Apache logs, how should we go about this? If we don't look after them properly there will be massive amounts of logs being kept - what is the best way to store them? I know they can be "rolled over" and kept for a certain amount of time, which is the best utility to do this? The OS is Linux (CentOS) and the web servers are Apache and Lighttpd. and should proxy/gateway/cache server logs be kept?

I want to start up my web server again. I have Windows XP hosting my web server right now. and, it's slow. Should i stick with Windows, run IIS and use httpZip from Port80? I really like microsoft, and don't want to change and adapt to something else. give me advice Or, should I run Linux I would run Linux on it, but I don't know how. And they have different version of Linux. Example Redhat, Ubuntu etc. Which one should I go for? Also, what do I do if I have a netgear ethernet card? Is that Linux? Is it compaitable with Redhat? And last question, what do I use for security? I'm a hacker, yeah.. I know what all people can do to websites. How do I stop them? DoSing, Cross Scripting, XML Attacks, MySql Injection.. Etc. If a linux fan can respond, that would be nice.

Home Web Server
I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection. Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?
