I have accounts on site5 and hostgator (shared plan, not dedicated) and was trying setup knowledgetree a open source document management portal built on Linux/PHP/Apache/MySQL platform.
Everything worked fine except the indexing component as that required Java/JRE. Indexing is very important to me.
So all my hard work for the last 2 days came to a screeching halt.
I badly need to find a hosting service that offers LAMP + Java technologies for a decent price.
I am planning to host a java portal which would be used for online listing and buying. I am expecting around 100 (max) concurrent users and approx 20,000+ hits a day.
I am sure about bandwidth and space requirement. But I am confused about Heap Space Memory?
The site would have around 50 dynamic screens.
Should I go for private tomcat jvm option with around 128 MB of heap space memory? Is 128MB heap space sufficient for above type of user requirement? Or please suggest the type of configuration I can go for.
I would just like to double check on how to host a Java application, as i have a customer wishing to host a Java application on my server but i am a little bit sketchy on hosting it yet without some extra help
hosting that has PHP, MySQL, and Java. I have found [url]. I would like to know if lunarpages is any good, and if there is anything better. I don't want to spend too much but would like good service and the above specs.
For the past 3 weeks I have been trying to set up a joomla web site.
At first, I tried to host a joomla website on liquid web's shared host.
They seemed to be quite good. They had all the feature I needed, but then I couldn't upload files into my webspace via ftp.
They told me they don't know what is the problem, and that I should use what is available.
I have stopped hosting at liquid web, and tried a different web host. HostNexus.
There I had the same problem with myu ftp account, but they told me the problem is either in my firewall or ISP.
This really allowed me to look into a solution for this problem, and I partially solved it.
I believe this was the same problem I had with liquid web, but liquid web support didn't tell me the information that helped me to solve this problem.
Though my problems are not solved yet.
I need to create a ftp account into the httpdocs or public html folder so joomla could use it to update its own files.
I was able to create such ftp accounts in liquid web, but it is possible that I am unable to create such ftp account via the hostnexus control panel, and I have asked them if its possible for them to create me such an account.(Asked them topday, so I didn't get a reply yet).
Now, what should I do?
I need a ftp account in order for joomla to work properly.
Should I go back to liquid web?
Should I look for a different web host?
Maybe HostNexus will solve my problem, and all this will be irelavent.
But assuming host nexus won't solve my problem, what should I do?
My boss has recently asked me to source a new host for our servers. At the moment we're running 8 Windows boxes but are unhappy with the service we're receiving from our hosting company. We are looking for a managed hosting company, that has offices in the UK and US to look after the servers.
At the moment we haven't nailed down our exact requirements so I'm just really looking for any recommendations you guys might have. I've done a wee bit of Googling and have found a company called Rackspace but I'm ideally looking to contact around 5 companies to see who can offer us the best deal.
I am planing on running I guess you would call it a semi tube script. It pulls videos from others sites and thumbs them at your own site in categories. The viewers however do view the videos at my site in a popup video player or another page.
Hostgator looks like a good host however I just talked to them and they don't have ffmpeg....
A friend of mine basically just wants to get his business on the web. He wants a website that is entirely informational (e.g. no commerce or anything like that). Basically a home page with a couple of links to download some documents and some contact info.
He does not have a domain name, so he would need that.
And the person wants an easy to use website designer for this simple site.
My initial thoughts were:
Microsoft Office Live - but that doesn't seem to be totally free anymore.
Wordpress.com (I am not sure this would work as well especially if you wanted to post documents or something)
I'd like to get your recommendations on how I should approach this problem. I posted this in another part of the forum, but I feel that this is a more appropriate place for it.
Problem:
How to handle large amounts of traffic with for a social network website? If a user uploads a photo or video, how does it become accessible on all of the server? If traffic is expected to be about 500,000 visitors a day, how many machines do you think I should use?
Possible Solution:
I've come up with the following possible infrastructure.
One load balancer. The load balancer has 3 PHP/Apache servers behind it. Behind each of the PHP/Apache servers is a (slave) MySQL server, from which data is read. Behind the slave MySQL servers, there is 1 master MySQL server, which handles all of the database writes. The master MySQL and slave MySQL servers are synced up, so data is up to date.
The actual photo and video files are not stored in the database, only the links to them is stored in the database (to keep the database small). The photo and video reside in a central location (like a SAN or NAS), which is accessible by all of the 3 PHP/Apache webservers.
Questions:
1. How many machines do you think will be able to handle photo and video uploads for 500,000 visitors a day?
2. Is having a SAN with Terabytes of RAIDED disk space an available option?
3. If a SAN or NAS is not an option, does anyone have any ideas on how to make sure all of the web servers have access to the same photos and videos? Is rsync a viable solution?
4. Which hosting provider do you think I should go with?
5. Is clustering what I need? What is clustering and how will it address my concerns?

I have been building a business around blogs and other social media items on mostly OSS technology - but unfortunately, my current reseller account is inadequate for what I need (especially with sites that query a DB) and unable unfortunately to upgrade to what I might need. I don't want to rip on them because they've provided me great service, but they're just not able to ramp up. My thought is there won't be any reseller to meet my needs after learning more info, so I'm going to make the leap up.
I'm not going to go pound the pavement for hosting business; this is only really for my clients I serve as a agency/consultant/designer and my clients need and deserve more.
I have been considering Mosso; but also weighing a dedicated box as it's around the same price and looking around here for the solutions people recommend for the past few hours. But since I sort of have a specialty application, I thought I'd ask for your recommendations.
I want to say that I came here from another forum because my provider was affected by the Planet outage and the conversation and knowledge was great; you are a very smart community. I hadn't heard of this place beforehand but am glad I found it.
I'm making the switch from windows to linux for our company web server. We've been running IIS/MySQL/PHP for years and with the OS cost to upgrade the server switching to Linux seems an obvious choice. What frustrates me is that none of the Distros seem very quick to use the latest versions of the AMP components and compiliing from source seems an unnessary hassle. I've tried Ubuntu server so far which has Apache 2.2.9/Mysql 5.0.67/PHP 5.2.6 with no room to easily upgrade any of the components (our WIMP server uses the latest MySQL/PHP).
I am trying to install LAMP on Ubuntu 7.1. However I installed apache2, php5 and mysql and it is not running properly. I would like to start from scratch. Could someone please tell me how to go about removing all three components and then installing all from scratch so that it will run properly?
I'm setting up a VPS server on Slicehost, I've followed the guide on howtoforge for debian and have everything installed including ISPConfig3. Everything seems to work fine at the mo but when I check the memory usage, i see that I'm using around 490/500mb of my 512mb setup. Its a Xen setup so I understand this is real memory available but I'm not sure if this is enough.
I will ultimately be running around a dozen sites, some static and some dynamic. There's one Mambo and one Joomla site there but they don't update. The rest are all php/mysql sites that I've built myself but again, they don't change that much. None of the sites currently see more than a couple hundred uniques a day, and some only a handful, so usage is not high. Most of the domains have e-mail accounts attached, but its only moderate usage with around a dozen addys per domain max.
So, do I need more memory or will 512 be enough? Is there anything I can do to reduce the load and give myself some more room?
I'm moving from a shared hosting environment and while I'm comfortable setting up the server, I would rather have a simple mail manager that would give users more control over their accounts, change passwords etc, which I'm hoping ISPConfig3 will be able to help with, but thats probably best discussed in another post.

I'm in the process of trying to document a process for setting up any new LAMP servers in our hosting environment and I was wondering if anyone had any input on software and best practices that they use in their environment and why. I.E.
PHP setup Apache setup Preferred Linux Distro FTP program used User creation guidelines Default php.ini settings Default site settings etc.
I have a cople of dedicated servers. Both run the same software, phpBB forums. However, with the top command I see one of them need as much as triple memory for every apache process than the other. Here are the details:
Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?
Since both use the same version of phpBB and the same version of CentOS5, while the only difference is one is x64 and the other i686, I wonder if this has to do with the way memory is handled by the x64 CentOS5.
We have a spare powerconnect server in work and i was looking to set it up as a web server for a company intranet - more to gain experience in configuring a web server than anything else.
I decided to go with Fedora 8 as i'd used fedora previously and followed the LAMP tutorial on HowToForge.
However i've come across a problem which i just can't seem to resolve (after pretty intensive searching). So, i guess this post is in 2 parts.
Firstly, the error i'm getting is with mysql only. The error message is:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I understand this may be a generic error but i'm not sure what other information would be useful.
Secondly, as this is my first web server - have I made the correct choice in terms of linix release or would something like CentOS be more suitable? I'd like to get this right from the start now that i have the chance.
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)?
get my development box set up running LAMP. I have Fedora 7 currently installed but don't really know much about setting up the environment to host multiple sites (development purposes only), getting Phpmyadmin set up, etc. I'm used to typically doing my dev with with apache2triad on Windows but would much rather be working on a Linux box for development as i do my hosting in a Linux environment as well.
I want to run a firewall on my LAMP server. I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 server. Previously I used firehol to achieve this but the new version of the kernel I'm using doesn't seem to be compatible. So I went to try ipkungfu instead and that didn't work saying "my kernel doesn't support LOGS". So basically I'm going to need to play around with iptables myself. I've been reading up on TCP/IP in order to learn how to do this but, well, it's really not very much fun. SoDoes anybody have a bunch of iptables commands I can use to set up a basic firewall to block all requests except certain ones (I don't need anything complex like forwarding)?
I have linux server and i face some problem in php with java, every thing is fine but all the extensions in--->/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ directory and when i access it through browser it doesn't reflected in our phpinfo.php page.
