IIS Just Stopped Serving..
I have been hosting a site for the past number of weeks on IIS on Server 2003..I have a no-ip a/c which is working fine along with port forwarding on my router..
The other day I restarted my server for something but now I cant seem to access my site from across the internet and according down for everyone or just me (website) it is down. I can, however, access the site using domain name from within my lan.
I'm not too hot on server 2003 or IIS. What can I do to debug/diagnose the problem?

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?

Nsplayer Must Be Stopped
i have been around the internets trying to figure out how to stop this menacing problem and i really have come to just a lot of dead ends. my issue is that i want to block people using something called nsplayer from ravaging my bandwidth. every day there are at least 300 or so entries from people using this piece of software which is causing me to blow through about 20 gigs a day instead of around 5-7 gigs. the fine support folks at imountain went out of their way and wrote a htaccess script but alas that isnt helping that much. so, what i have been doing is just banning each individual ip through htaccess and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. my site is in my profile. is there anyway to block this completely? here is an example of one of my log entries. 79-65-96-136.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com - - [23/Sep/2007:19:33:06 -0700] "GET /debaser/vol.%204/14%20Wish%20You%20Were%20Here.mp3 HTTP/1.1" 200 803868 "-" "NSPlayer/11.00.6000.6324 WMFSDK/11.00.6000.6324" i dont know if it matters, but i am using h-sphere and indexing is turned off.

Servint - Serving Porn On My Sites
What is up with servint? I have domains and a vps through them. The vps is now serving up porn on all the sites. When I call servint they say I don't own the name but a whois shows i DO INDEED own the name for another year and it is registered to me and they are the registrar!!! The portal user/pass suddenly stopped working so I can't even put in a support ticket All I get is a message machine ... does anyone know if servint staff ever come on this board. It has probably been hacked but it is pretty disturbing when they say I don't own the domain but it is CLEAR THAT I do own it.

Speed Up Serving Large Files
I'm working on a web site which will basically be a flash games portal. I have a dedicated server running Apache 2 on a 100mbit dedicated line but my download speed for large files (flash files of over 5mbs) is really slow. I am thinking this is because of Apache but I don't know much about this. I've read that I should change for a lighter http server for serving static files. The way my server is set up is I have 2 virtual machines running, one doing the PHP processing and the other serving static files, both running Apache, so if I have to change HTTP server for the static files it would be very easy. Although I am not sure if this is necessary or if I can tune Apache to push files faster than this.

Serving Data From 2 Hard Disks
I have a server with 2 hard drives, say drive A and drive B. Right now all my files, database and data is on drive A, and drive B is empty. Since I have another drive available, I want to split the load between the two drives. I'm ok with having the web pages and the database on one drive. I mostly want to just have the data (I have about 500GB of data) split between the two drives. Note that I want to avoid duplicating the data. I want to have each file on either drive A XOR drive B. Should I map a separate subdomain to drive B and then use that subdomain to serve the half of the data thats there? Is there something I can do with hard/soft links on the server so that even though the data is on 2 drives, users still use the same url to access data on either drive? Any other options?

Static File Serving - Performance
I'm planning to setup a server ONLY for hosting of static binary files varying from few KB to few MB in size. I've seen some of the litespeedtech performance benchmarks, which you can find here: [url] From the "small static file" benchmark chart, i can see that IIS6 beats lighttpd in this test. So i'm wondering does the IIS6 really have better performance at file hosting than lighttpd. Actually it does not matter which operating system i will be using at this server, since i will use it only for file serving. With lots of concurrent connections. Possibly thousands of connections. I need some feedbacks on this, so i can decide, IIS or lighttpd. Few more bucks for win2k3 won't be an issue here, if it's performance is better than lighttpd for this kind of use.

10 Second Lag Serving Static HTML
this isn't my server, so I don't have a lot of information about it, other than it's a Linux/Apache Dedicated server at EV1. (cPanel/WHM) There are other sites on the server, and they are running fine. One site has a terrible lag. It takes about 10 seconds to serve up a static HTML file.. Now, it's not like the server is slow. It's like this: You request a small HTML file. The site sits and thinks about it for about 10 seconds, and then after that everything processes quickly. The forum on the site is the same way. Everything you click on works fine and loads quickly after that initial delay passes. Is there a common configuration problem that might be causing this? If you want to see this phenomenon, here are a few test files: [url] [url] [url] [url]

Apache Serving Blank Pages
I am having this issue with a new box where Apache at random serves blank pages and won't serve anything but until it's restarted. I see no errors in /var/log/messages either to show why this is happening. It's not all pages either just several various ones. I know it's not a programming issue either because the only thing the server is running is one instance of vBulletin. I look at top during this and CPU and RAM usage are very low. The only fix to get Apache to serve the pages is to restart it. Anyone have any clues on what it could be? I set my php.ini memory limit to a gig (I have 16 gigs in the sever)

SMTP Connection Has Stopped Working
I have been having great trouble sending mails from my local Thunderbird/Windows client to my Debian/Exim-server via TLS/SMTP. I am no expert on TLS and SMTP, but I managed to create a server certificate and set up a secure (TLS) connection more than a year ago, and it has been working fine until it suddenly stopped working a couple of weeks ago. Sending to external addresses from web pages still works fine, the problem seems to be in the SMTP connection. If I try to "telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25" I get no reply whatsoever (it seems to connect but it just gives me a blank screen with a blinking cursor) and I am wondering if there is a firewall issue or if I am simply not running the right daemon to listening for incoming SMTP connections... POP continues to work fine with teapop/stunnel enabled. I am running Exim 4.63-17 on Debian Etch. I configured Exim to be of the type "internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP" ============================== Firewall shouldn't be a problem (?): debian:~# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ============================== I really don't know what to do. I have tried running: tail -f /var/log/daemon.log Which responds when I access my mail using POP but not when I try to send using SMTP.

Serving & Playing Breeze FIles
Having trouble hosting Macromedia Breeze files on a brand new dedicated 2003 NT box. Anything I need to adjust? When someone visits the URL, it loads the presentation main screen, but it's supposed to auto-play several movies and it won't. It works fine locally and on 2 unix servers I tested it on, but not the new NT box. The weird thing is, if I remote desktop to that server, I can't play that presentation locally or server thru the linux boxes. I figured it was an extensions thing, but like I said the intro still does appear, and if I go to Adobe.com and play a new "Adobe Presenter" presentation - it works fine.

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Problem Serving Gzipped Static Content
I'm trying to serve as much gzipped content as possible on my web site. I will gzip dynamic pages on the fly using PHP, and I plan to gzip static content just one time, not to use much CPU, and serve css.gz, .js.gz files, etc... So, I uploaded a test.html file and a .css file that changes the color of the text to red. I gzipped the css file: %gzip style.css I also uploaded an .htaccess file with this content: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /gzip/ RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING} gzip RewriteRule ^(([^.]+.)+)css$ /$1css.gz For now I'm not going to include any gunzipped style sheet, just to make sure my browser picks the gzipped style sheet. I also uploaded a phpinfo.php file to make sure I have mod_gzip. So, here's the list of files I have: - .htaccess - style.css.gz - test.html - phpinfo.php But when I open the test.html file: [url] the style sheet isn't applied. If I upload a regular style.css file, it works fine. It seems the Rewrite rules aren't taken into account. Do you know how I could server the gzipped style sheet instead?

It was working a few minutes ago. A while ago I suspected that someone knew the password for the box. I did change it at the time, and thought the issue was solved. Is it possible to turn off remote desktop remotely (whilst using remote desktop). Power cycling the server isn't making any difference. Any other options other than putting in a support request at the host?

Mailbox Allowance? My Incoming Emails Have Stopped Coming In
But with my current host, my incoming e-mails have stopped and have done quite a lot of times, If I send an e-mail to myself from another acount, it gets bounced back. When I'm searching for hosts, I can't see any info on mailbox allowance. I'm using Outlook to download all my e-mails. I don't know why they are stopping and I can't find out from the person who got the host from me, in the past he said something about me having to delete e-mails. But this would come back to mailbox space which no hosts seem to advertise, unless it goes under webs space. If my mailbox is full or ran out of space, does anybody have any recommendations for a host that offers a good amount of mailbox space. Another question, am I limited to the amount of e-mails I can send with some hosts? I'll be sending out Newsletters to 600+ people each month.

I'm expecting to do about 1000gb by the end of the year. Would a small server like a pentium 4 be able to handle just serving files?

An Otherwise Great Performing Server Now Delays Prior To Serving PHP/mysql
One of my dedicateds (Fedora 7 / apache 1.39 / php5 mysql5) has been running flawlessly but now has a strange ~4-5 second delay when serving up PHP/mysql pages such as Wordpress. I say delay because it appears to think about it for several seconds, then when the page finally begins the refresh process, everything serves up lightning fast. Latency is low, direct file downloads are faster than ever. ModSecurity is running, and accounts for about 1 second of that delay (tested with it on and off), but the other 3-4 seconds is a mystery.

Does anyone know why this would be happening? I installed PHP with the .msi installer from thier website and i enabled scripts in IIS and there is a .php app mapping in the Application Config section in IIS. This may help, when I put the adress for the specific PHP file, it gives an error that the "Specified Module was not found".

IIS Authentication
We've been having some trouble logging into our Intranet here at work. Essentially it is set up to use Integrated Windows authentication but for some reason that was disabled last week and so no-one could log in. That was easy enough to fix and everything seemed to be back to normal. However, I installed ModX CMS into a subfolder but when it comes to logging in to the admin backend I am repeatedly asked for my Windows ID and ultimately told I am not authorised to view the page. I can see the login page and I can enter the ModX admin details but it won't let me further than that. The strange thing is a colleague with the same (admin) rights can log in no problem!

IIS Proxy
I work for a company who is on Microsoft Technology, IIS 6.0 specifically is what I deal with day to day. We support classic asp 3.0, .net and php ( through plain jane cgi mode *yuck* ) and I am newly hired and bring ruby on rails to the table. Eventually we are going to replace the entire stack with ruby on rails as I re-code our existing tech. While waiting for IIS 7 to solve the majority of their problems with the lack of MS made IIS modules for rewriting URLs, fast CGI, Server-Side Forwarding I need to get my application out the door and for it to be stable. Our server is a 2.4ghz Xeon with 512mb and our first order of business is to finally push it to 2g ram. That will help Ruby best as the application is running. What I would like to do is Have IIS sit in front of Mongrel, a ruby HTTP server serving my RoR applications, and pass requests to it. For example the IIS right now is serving 3 .org/edu sites. We use a company to redirect our URL requests to our IP and IIS has 3 virtual servers passing on the buck all on port 80. It works very well. I want mongel to sit at, for example, port 8080 and have 1 .org that we serve to use mongrel to serve the content. As I understand it this is called Server-Side Forwording, aka Proxy, and is very ellusive on Windows. The options I have found is a) the use of Microsoft ISA which is probably out of the question. b) an ISAPI such is ISAPI Rewrite or c) Pound Our problems arise is that we don't have the ability to toss up another machine for Pound or ISA. Pound can run on CentOS out the box but again, no machine as we are funded by grants, and that will ruin one of the network admins remote desktop uses [so I understand but I could be wrong.] I have posted on the ISAPI Rewrite forums to see if their 'proxy' feature is indeed what I am looking for. I don't have anything bad to say about Microsoft tech, I enjoy Apache 1x, 2x and have come to respect IIS 6 as well. I just find it hard to find a lot of solid products and documented howto's on MS. One thing I don't find lack of is people with the same darn problem and nobody willing to share solutions exept the ones that are really just technology previews. So my question is : Has anyone has run across this need and what you did to solve it. Am I on the right track? Again, solutions like mod_proxy for apache isn't an option I need IIS.
