Code:
ssh -fNg -L 8888:127.0.0.1:3306 user@123.456.789.0
How can sort of "undo" that? I ask because I need to re-tunnel in to a different IP address but right now the only way I can figure to do it is to restart my computer (which is lame).
I have a vps at VPSVille, which I use for tunneling out onto the internet (behind a nazi firewall). Unfortunately, my vps keeps getting disabled because I cross the "20GB of traffic per month" allowed to any vps for tunneling - even though I have 300 GBs of bandwidth.
I'm now looking for another cheap vps host ($20/mo or less) that will let me utilize all the bandwidth I paid for.
I need to set-up a MySQL connection between two busy Linux servers in different countries.
I understand my options are: - Use MySQL's built-in SSL support, but I will need to open another port. - Use an SSH tunnel, but I am not sure if this is suitable for a MySQL busy connection. - Use a VPN, but that might be overkill.
ATM I'm leaning towards an SSH tunnel so I don't have to open another port, but I am not sure how well an SSH tunnel is suited for a busy MySQL server. In theory all 3 options do the same task, but I am not sure what the real-world performance of each method is.
I'm currently at Uni and can't play any online games, or access various online services, due to the restrictive network (apparently "open ports" are evil )
I'm looking at setting up a HTTP tunnel (SSH is blocked) which can allow me to:
1) Get any connections from one of my games routed (over HTTP) to:
2) my VPS, which then forwards this traffic onto the game's servers
My VPS runs on Linux (CentOS 5), my current computer runs off Windows Vista.
I know there are services out there that can provide this for a low monthly fee, but I'd be happier to maintain this myself.
Some of websites like youtube and facebook are blocked in my country and we can't access them .in addition most of tunneling protocols like PPTP are blocked too . I want to create a website that tunnels between our network and this website like proxy or other ways. Scripts like phpProxy are not secure and many websites don't permit the visitors who come with this scripts. A very good sample for my idea is walww.com . This websites is like alternate for blocked addresses like facebook, but it's premium and require charging cash .
How can I create website like walww.com . I have my own VPS and Host for this issue. Is that possible to serve this blocked websites trough proxy by configuring apache settings?
This morning apache stopped to serve pages. I have tried to restart it with no success: ------- init.d/httpd restart ---------- init.d/httpd stop killall httpd init.d/httpd start ------ killall httpd init.d/httpd restart ---------
such like several times every time failed with the address already in use message
Was 4 oclock in the morning su I stopped investigating and restarted the machine
Is there a way to really shut down such a completely non-responsive process withou restarting the machine?
just a notice - there were not a heavy server load at the time

One of my sites, hosts mp3s for music I've written for video games etc.
I uploaded a track in December, and this month my bandwith has rocketed from 18g to 25g.
When I look at the awstats I see this...

Now I'm not sure about the MB values, they don't look true at all, but why suddenly would the two top places have the same IP address bar a value of 1
If I scroll down to file usage, I see
/blah/blah/blah.mp3 7533305.76 KB52685276 - so it's been viewed 7533 times
and the next most popular page or file is, / 10099.69 KB830412
Then looking at the search engine stats the most popular search engine phrase is this [url][summer dance]45041.2 %
450 times? and yes, - np2sp6qjpj2jkzevo5mcl2fjmw$$.mp3 [summer dance] - this is the filename coming up even though it doesn't exist on the server
It's twice as popular as "game sounds" which is the site, and is on google... something fishy going on here.
The most popular site to come from is [url] times in fact, and that's a japanese/chinese/eastern site which I don't understand.
The IP address appears to be chinese too.
Can anyone explain to me what might be going on here please? It appears that someone is continuously downloading this specific file, just to use up my bandwidth?
Just got alerted that my server is being used to send spam. Here is the information the datacenter gave me:
[information .....]
NOTE: I changed the real domain name and IP only.
Is there an expert who can help me decipher this? How do I find the culprit? My provider is threatening to shut me down and sink all my clients with the ship!
I am running the latest WHM and cpanel server, fyi.
Our website is based around a customer based chat system. Customers are only on the system during a particular day and time range. So for parts of the week the server gets almost no traffic. When then time for a chat comes up we get hundreds of people on the site all doing page requests every few seconds.
So as you might imagine we are bringing the server to it's knees with heavy CPU and memory loads. Plus bandwidth usage is really high. We are currently on the biggest box that Rackspace has to offer. The site runs ok on it during these times. It's a little slow but not unbearable.
But we have not hit our max customer base. In fact if all goes well we will double our customer base next month. So I know when we do we will bring that box down totally.
I was thinking about possibly trying a cloud/cluster based approach but after some research on this site I have found that is probably not the best option.
So I am looking for advice on what to do? Is there a better host? Different technology?
Servers are not my thing really so I could really use some help.
No we can't change the way customers access the site or when they access. There is nothing that can be done in that regard so don't suggest it.
I have seen posts that some hosts suspend a user after they so many seconds of high server resource usage... I was wondering how this is done so that I can do this on my dedicated server.
user1 is running some things on the server. I need user2 to be able to kill these processes (just kill, not start up again on the other user or any other extra priveledges). How can I do this?
I have a question related DDOS attack. My hosting provider told me that my Server was DDos attacked few days ago. But in those days my server worked fine only apache server was down. The strange fact is that in the same day with this "DDOS attack" one of theyr admins worked something on SSL section of my server and during this operation the SSL hosts were down and httpd worked slow.
Inthe passed 3 months httpd worked very slow and after 2-3 restarts of httpd service the load droped down below 3.00 . I believe theyr httpd service was already with problems and that SSL configuration cause that apache failure in that day with "ddos attack"
I repeat in that day ONLY ssl hosts worked fine and non SSL hosts were down.
It's possibile on DDOS attack that load to be unde 0.5 , SSL hosts to work fine, FTP, Mail and other stuf to work like there is nobody on server (VERY FAST)?
Any tools, programs that will execute either with windows on (remote desktop) or install a boot script that will wipe off the hard-drive without going to the datacenter?
