how I can find a company similar to admingeekz.com which provide instant admin support for Debian servers? Admingeekz only work with Redhat. We need somebody who can look at our Debian server asap because it has been down for several hours and we don't know why.
I've googled around but could not come up with any company or free lance professional offering such a service (instant support). We can make a down payment via PayPal instantly and you would get root access.
Many guy will be answer: "yes, we are interested". And many DC have a such offer. But, usually it mean some time for setup - from 15 minute to few hours. I speak about true instant server - you will select config what comply to your requirements, order it, pay for invoice and within a few minutes after payment receive welcome message.
What you think about such offer? What server config will be interesting and with what O/S, addons, budget, etc.
I am currently using WinSCP to edit files on remote servers on the fly without having to download them and then open them. WinSCP works fine, but today I experienced a severe problem for a second time.
When saving a file (a css file), WinSCP gave me an error something to the effect of "Lost connection - Could not list directory"...or something like that. When I reconnected, the file has gone corrupt at 0 bytes. Ultimately, the file is history!
Thankfully, I had a backup of the file, but more specifically, I am a fan of "Ctrl+A " then "Ctrl+C" before saving any file when doing live edits. This is what saved my butt!
I have a continuous problem of losing my connection with the remote servers, but when I connect via SSH to my local servers (either locally here or when I am mobile), I do not believe I have EVER lost my SSH connection.
My question is this...
Is there another FTP program out there that anyone can recommend that will allow me to edit files over FTP that does not require download, then open? Filezilla works great, but to my knowledge, I can only download each file, then open.
I have reported the problem to the host and we have gone through the settings with WinSCP and I have also been to WinSCP about this issue...all to no avail.
I know it takes 24-48 hours for new domains to resolve and all that stuff.
But I was wondering. Say I am using my Registrar's DNS and I made 2 subdomains NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and their A records point to my server.
Say I switch my websites to another server and my domains have the same name servers, NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM, but I change their A records instead, shouldn't the update be INSTANT? I mean, people should be instantly be able to access the new server as soon as I change the A records, right?
Because, currently, when I use the registrar's DNS and nameservers NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM and if I want to switch server, I just change the A record of WWW.DOMAIN.COM and I can INSTANTLY access the other server through my domain.
Shouldn't the same rule apply if I make custom NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and use them as my nameserver istead of NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM?
I mean like no ID checks and they provide instant setup if I am paying by paypal. I know credit card they find it risky but I am paying with paypal they should not ask for any ID verification and Hostgator claims they provide instant setup but its very rare they flag your order even if you pay by paypal.
if its possible to find a VPS reseller that allows you access to their HyperVM or Xen installation, soo you can add/remove/update accounts instant with out going through their management system ?
I really think this type of service has potenial, if its possible to do this in a safe way and low cost.
There is a requirement by the customer In order to display latin characters correctly in the UI, we need to add charset information in httpd.conf file.
We have added the AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in httpd.conf.
Even after adding the above charset in httpd.conf the changes was not reflecting.
And there was a reply by the customer that : Even after adding those lines to httpd.conf file, I am not getting characters (like ö, ä, ü) properly sent to my application.
This works perfectly fine in my local system where I am not using apache web server. But fails when I deploy the same code to QA, where the Apache webserver is used.
I just have started to setup a web-environment using Plesk 12 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.
I have the following problem:
I have setup a service-plan that enables Apache ASP. When I try to create a webhosting using this service-plan I run into a message saying that the service-plan tries to ENABLE ASPs, but the available setting is DISABLED (only option) and the webhosting will be setup with ASP DISABLED (and the webhosting will be out of sync with the service-plan).
Trying to figure out the reason for this behaviour I checked the site_isolation_settings.ini (in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/). In this file asp is set to on (no comment sign on start of the line).
Then I looked for the custom view settings for the power user view (which I am currently not using - I use the service provider view): In the hosting parameters ASP is ticked.
After that I checked the installed (and installable) features of Plesk; especially the Web-Hosting-Features. Surprisingly I noticed there is no option to install Apache ASP support!!!
Remark: I installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS Server in minimal configuration (SSH-Server configuration) directly after that I started the Plesk installation...(might this be the reason?)
I am having a lot of problem in implementing mod-rewrite in the Apache 2.0 server due to its configuration that it has the Virtual Directory Support "Disabled".
I got this information from the function phpinfo() which displays a lot of other configuration values along with that.
Now I am unable to enable this Virtual Directory Support in the server and for this my mod-rewrite through .htaccess is not working at all.Subhasis
one of my clients wanna run an ASP.NET script on his site but all of my servers runing Linux and Apache not Windows so it can't support ASP by default so i wanna know how to make it support ASP or what's the essential software to run it on my server to enable it support ASP.NET
I'm working on transferring my Hostings to a new server, but ran into some problems.
Transferring the data from one Plesk 12 server to another works quite well using the migration manager, although you have to create the service plans by hand as well as you need to work through the server configuration parameters.
After re-creating the service plans I wanted to link and sync them to the subscriptions, but unfortunately I have no success to do so, because everytime I try to get them in sync, it tells me that Apache ASP support is enabled for the subscription and needs to be disabled. Plesk then tells me, the setting is disabled, but next time you try to sync the subscription... ASP is back enabled.
Problem is that on the old server I had Apache ASP enabled and used it in my hostings.
I tried to solve the problem using the command line tools, but "./subscription -u domain.name -asp false" returns "SUCCESS: Update of domain 'domain.name' completed.", but you can guess, same problem.
As a last resort I disabled Apache ASP support for my hostings on the old server, deleted everything on the new one and I got no warnings before migrating about the missing ASP feature.
But unfortunately this procedure ended up with the same problem as before.
Is there a way to remove the ASP support from the existing subscriptions?
I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer Overall support satisfaction - any other comments
I want to backup a entire folder thats in / not in any other folders.
I've tried this command but I get the error described below..
tar cvpzf opensim.tgz
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
The folder is called opensim. I was logged into SSH with root access and tried the command directly, not going into other folders because well I dont want to, I wanna backup that 1st opensim folder that I can see on the FTP also.
I'm having some trouble finding a VPS host that offers Debian and Plesk. I've searched the forum but nothing's really panned out. I'm currently with Geekstorage but the server has been slow (same problem reported by others).
Anyone have recommendations for Debian + Plesk VPS host?
NX server needs ssh and some libraries to run. These packages are normally not installed during the basic installation process.Use the following comamnd to install
#aptitude libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 ssh
Install Free NX Server in Debian Etch
First you need to download the .deb packages using the follwoing commands i did the three steps..
Now you need to install .deb packages in the following order this is very important
#dpkg -i nxclient_2.1.0-17_i386.deb
#dpkg -i nxnode_2.1.0-22_i386.deb
#dpkg -i nxserver_2.1.0-22_i386.deb
If you get any errors use the following comamnd to fix
#apt-get -f install
Now you need to make sure ssh and nx servers are running if not start with the following commands
#/etc/init.d/ssh start
#/etc/init.d/nxserver start -------------------- but the problem is i cannot connect to the nx . i installed the program on windows but what is the username and password should i use? i tried to use the root but it said that the user root cannot be used.
i digit on ssh /etc/init.d/mysql start and i see this error
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld. Checking for crashed MySQL tables in the background. /etc/mysql/debian-start: line 13: logger: command not found
I have just installed my vps with webmin on debian 5 and I need a guide to how to configure my system to use suphp, Ive googled it but not come back with any clear guide.
I better add Ive plunged in at the deepend and after the secuity breach at Vaserv, I can not take the easy option and install lxadmin any longer.
I'm leaning towards centos but am concerned that development priority in that distro will switch over from Xen to KVM as RHEL does. Which distro would you choose for dom0 and why?
From some weeks I try to have a secure install for my Debian. THis server will be a shared hosting host so need special security but I don't know how to do this.
My requirement are :
- Apache
- PHP (mod, not cgi)
Actually, users can navigate into my server by using phpshell script. And someone put lots of file into /tmp directory so I tri to secure all of that but don't find good tuto for that; do you know where can i have some?
And what about php using cron so execute with php-cli how to secure it?
