I bought a webhost from hosting provider. But ImageMagick does not work. Hosting provider said ImageMagick is installed.
But ImageMagick still do not work! I think it is not installed properly [url]
So, I need any simple test script to test ImageMagick if it works or not. I need real visual evidence for hosting provider to tell him that Imagimagick is not properly installed. I looked through this site but didn't see any test script.
Because i have couple site hosted by both hosting company (DTH=downtownhost and TCH=totalchoicehosting) and have positive experience with them i needed to make decision who will be hoster for my new project.
The problem was by both company and by 99% others that traceroute command is not enabled by default and it is essential for my new project.
After exchanging a couple emails with both companies DTH was winner again because DTH allow on shared hosting traceroute command (in situation that you need it).
Answer from TCH was that only on VPS (semi-dedicated) is traceroute command possible and not on shared envirovment.
I must again praise DTH for the way how they handle with their customers and that they are ready to do everything for their customers. Not wonder that they are one of the greatest hosting company.
where I can get a simple SSL certificate for my web hosting business? So my customers feel safe on submitting their information. Is the standard SSL from GoDaddy pretty good?
So I was trying to run a backup process in Plesk 8.1 and the whole panel froze up on me (it's happened numerous times before).
Anyway, since the panel was all frozen up I just went into SSH and did a simple "reboot" (also, as done before many times). Only problem is, this time after I did the reboot the server never actually came back online... it seems to be locked up or something, I have no idea what.
I called my host and they are looking into it but they have no idea what's going on either and it's taking them forever to figure it out all the meanwhile my sites are down.... this isn't good.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to why this could be occuring?
I am migrating my website to Hostgator, and before I change the DNS entries, I want to make sure that everything displays properly. To do this, I have added an entry into my /etc/hosts file pointing the domain to the new host. If I then ping the domain, the reply comes from the correct IP address. However, if I try to view the website, it is still served by the old host.
I thought it might be a caching issue, but I have checked with wireshark and using curl, and it is definitely connecting to the new IP address, but the server that is returning the pages is still the old one. I've contacted hostgator support, but when they make the changes to their hosts file, it loads correctly. Is this a local problem (my system), or something with their server configuration?
I am looking for some decent tools to test a web server that can run large scale web sites running Windows and Linux.
I am more interested in the underlying hardware at this point to see if the servers them selves are capable of withstanding the loads without choking.
I am most interested in Disk testing and Network testing but the server but of course the server as a whole is important to since cpu and memory bottle neck can affect everything.
I am currently developing a piece of software that will act as an all purpose control panel for a specific niche. I have coded the vast majority of the control panel already, and want to purchase a cheap (under $25/mo) VPS to test the installation and performance of the control panel.
As a result of me testing various configurations the main feature I am looking for is free (or very cheap) OS reloads.
I want to be working under a CentOS environment, and have a decent amount of CPU that I can use. Disk space and bandwidth are really not an issue, as I am simply testing using this VPS to test the software I am developing.
1. I have installed mod_evasive version 1.10.1 on a Cent OS 4.4 server.
I'm using the test.pl script that comes with mod_evasive to test the configuration and when running the script from the same server mod_Evasive is installed. The mod_evasive is able to detect the intrusion and block the IP of the server.
If I use the same test.pl script from an external server the requests come in and are viewable in the access log but mod_evasive doesnt block the IP of the external server. Probably is not blocing the ip of the external server because of latency.
Is there a way to modify the test.pl script to make it more agressive and get results when testing from an external server?
Here I'm pasting the code of the test.pl script:
Code: #!/usr/bin/perl
# test.pl: small script to test mod_dosevasive's effectiveness
use IO::Socket; use strict;
for(0..100) { my($response); my($SOCKET) = new IO::Socket::INET( Proto => "tcp", PeerAddr=> "test.domain.tld:80"); if (! defined $SOCKET) { die $!; } print $SOCKET "GET /?$_ HTTP/1.0
2. Also, I have sendmail installed and on the mod_evasive config I have email address specified on DOSEmailNotify. When testing from the internal server with the test.pl script the server is able to block the ip, put in the hash table but it never sends an email to my email address.
I just installed Mod Evasive and I want to fully test it but dont know how. I was planning to use Http Traffic Generator from NsaSoft but I'm afraid the ISP will block my IP space after testing the web site.
What will be the best tool and way to test this module?
We have been doing some research on some colocation facilities lately and a question came up about load testing. I'm wondering what the standard is in regards to load testing a colocation facility.
Are they full load tests? How often are they done? How long are those tests done for?
I've installed a certificate in my server that's certified by a CA, but I want to see what happens when that CA is no longer listed as trusted. In Internet Explorer I click Advanced and de-select "Server Authentication" for my CA. When I go to my site, though, I don't see the usual untrusted warning come up. How do you test this?
what's the difference between the certification authority and publisher sections in Internet Explorer?
when I get a server it comes with cPanel and I don't have to do much to get it going, but this time I don't need all the bells and whistles. What should I do to get a server with only CentOS to start running a pretty simple web server that just listens on whatever ip? I just want it to run php,mysql, and a web server which I know how to setup already. What I want to know is what else is necessary to setup? Resolvers, the hostname, bind, named, etc?
I cannot express this enough: Stay away from Simple Helix!
We switched to them after our last $5/mo host kicked us out without warning. Simple Helix is just as bad but more expensive... Their support system is awful. Our website is down at least once or twice a week without any warning or support.
You cannot talk to anyone in their support. You have to write a stupid ticket. Then you wait and wait until someone decides to open it and read it. The if you are lucky, they will respond to it. But you gotta be REALLY lucky that they respond with something useful. Most of their responses are irrelevant or do not make sense.
Last week my website was destroyed because their server crashed. When i wrote a support ticket, which was answered 24 hours later, they said that I did it! Then they told me I had to pay them to fix the problem. Only when I contacted their corporate offices they got their admin working on it. Even then, it took over a week to fix the website. The admin would only respond when he wanted and sometimes he would ignore my messages to the point where I had to open new tickets to tell them to take care of my original ticket.
JUST STAY AWAY! WHATEVER YOU DO-DO NOT GO WITH SIMPLE HELIX.
It seems nexcess.net is a good host and I am going to be calling them tomorrow to talk to them about switching to them.
I've recently re-designed my website to WP and my host which I've been with for the last 5 years has suspended my site for system abuse. Is WP no good? They suspended it last week so I added a cache which they said had fixed it, now they've comeback and said its still overloading. My site gets around 500 visitors a day. Does this sound right?
I've already had to ban google bots from my forums because of overloading in the past.
Can anyone recommend a host that can handle a wordpress site that gets 500 visitors a day?
I am just posting a simple reviewof my experience with MKOH (My Kind of Host) Great people they seem from the e-mail correspondences. Just one problem with there automated message upon account setup. Include the name servers.
The support has been prompt during the day and it's been a few hours since I've e-mailed them and heard nothing back and it's nighttime which sort of worries me for the long run. No one around at night.
So, I ordered this morning 10PM EST and the acccount was setup within normal business hours. But since then haven't received a response with the nameservers. I could assume it's ns1.mkoh.com and ns2.mkoh.com but that's most likely not them or they could have multiple servers or even a datacenter or offshoots so I can't assume.
Again, great during the day. Night a bit rough. This is day 1. I will let people know here if this thread isn't deleted what happens after tonight I just think support at night is important in this industry.
It appears to work on most ports. However, when I try a web site on that server, port 80, it starts but never finishes - never goes to that page. The progress bar looks like it's almost finished but never gets there.
I need to be able to:
check and send mail serve web site ssh/WinSCP port 9999 needed as well as 8080 run DNS
Any of you know any good mysql backup software that does all the packages for you? meaning, backup the whole shabang with only ssh access? users,dbs, etc? and probably restore it too?
to set up a little server that will have LAMP installed on it. All it will do is host a small program that runs on PHP and mySQL and will only be used on an office network with about 50 employees.
How well would this server run if the hardware was rather modest (667Mhz, 128mb RAM, 10GB HDD)?
I've had to edit alot of zone files and have been trying to find a solution to ease up the work. So far I found a nice perl command which can search and replace pretty efficiently.
I was wondering if anyone here knows something simple to search for a number. Lets say if the number was bigger then a specified amount (say 1 million) then it will add a 1 value to the large number. Of course this will scan through all the zone files in the directory and add the 1 value accordingly.
They are sending multiple queries from single IP but once we block it they start using different IP
Is there a rule to add to FreeBSD firewall to block any IP which is sending more than XX queries in one minute or some other way to blcok those IPs automaticaly?
i have plan on powervps more than 2 years, i not speak english , not understand of linux but the power vps never down for me, i have a problem powervps staff solve in minutes, many times problems caused by me, the vps stability is very great 99.999 percent online, im very happy with power vps, my tanks to the power vps staff very competence and newbie and not speak english friendly.
I want to know if there is a set of tools or a linux distro that I can use to create several Virtual Machines and make them use up all their allocated Memory/CPU to the max to see how much the VPS Node will hold.
I do this on Windows easily as I overclock my PC at home. But in linux, no idea. I need something that will do iterations like Prime95 or SuperPI.
