I have Windows Server storage server. However I need to run some Linux scripts. Is it possible to run possibly VMWARE to have Linux so I can install the scripts use the Windows which has content to be used.
Kinda tricky I know but worth a shot.
Windows - Has all the content , but can't run scripts such as file hosting , streaming server (WMV wont do) , HTML/PHP server scripts.
I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server, and set-up a new Windows XP Professional VM.
I have 3 more IP's that are not used.
When installing the VM, I used NAT networking to share my main OS network with my private VPS, but basically no one can access the VM from the outside world. I can surf the net while being on NAT status in the VM, but if I try to run any service like Apache, no one can enter to the service besides the localhost.
My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5 (detailed hardware is mentioned below)
Do you have any idea how can I configure my network so anyone can enter the VPS?
And please, if you can explain me step by step because I'm a real newbie hehe
Kind Regards,

Using CentOS 4.5
I yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS. I have briefly looked into the problem and found the DefaultAppPool stopped, but after restarting it, it resets back to the stopped state when I once again browse to a hosted website.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?
We already use Virtuozzo and MS Virtual Server 2005 but wanted to know if anyone had any feedback for VMWare for Windows VPS.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I install Windows on VMWare ESX? A guide would be nice.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need several Windows VMs to test out some softwares and I plan on using virtualization technology to cut some costs.
I have a Linux(Debian Etch) dedicated server sitting to accomplish this.
Specs are Quad Core Xeon 2.13Ghz with 4GB Ram/500GB HDD.
Now if I were to choose between Xen 3.1 and VMWare Server for the virtualization technology which would provide better performance?
I tried Windows on Xen 3.1 with PV Drivers and it seemed some what slow, but I'm not sure what the case was there so I can't say which would provide better performance overall.
Not having the hardware available to install common OS such as CentOS and FreeBSD so I can learn how to configure them correctly for the web.
I was wondering if the same goal can be archived with VMware and virtualisation.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out or point me to a guide that will allow me to to create a Windows 2003 x64 Virtual MAchine using VMWare server on a CentOS or Redhat installation.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone here use VMware server on a dedicated server to run Windows or other OS? And in terms of IP address how would this work? Do you need to set the VM as being NATed, or does it have it's own external IP? In terms of performance on a typical 100$-200$/mo dedicated server, how good is it? All these factors depend on a lot of things and I realize that, though. (what apps run, etc)
And do server providers even allow to install something like this? I've never leased a dedicated server before but I'm thinking of getting a linux one, but also running a windows VM for a RunUO server, and unfortunately that only runs in windows. I want a linux server as I prefer LAMP for hosting, and I'd try to get a few clients on the server just so I can pay it off monthly. Also Linux servers are generally cheaper monthly and I like the idea of using SSH tunnels rather then straight RDP, which gives me chills just thinking of, from a security perspective.
Recently, I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server.
When I tried to install my private IP on my VMWare, I had no clue how to do that. I used NAT networking to share my main OS with my private VPS, but when I try to run a service that needs the port XXXX to be open, it wouldent let me use it.
For an example, my main OS IP is 82.00.000.000. My VPS is sharing the same IP address with the main OS. I tried to run an Apache service on my VPS, but when I try to access it by the IP 82.00.000.000 it gives me a connection reset page.
This also happens on other services like FTP and stuff.

I am just trying the water with VMware as a virtual platform to give some friends some freedom in hosting and cut down on the cpanel cost with vps
I installed vmware on my centos5 distribution, and used the default values vmnet0 is bridged to eth0.
I have multiple ips to the host server eth0 to eth0:7 i think, how do i create a bridge or assign an ip only for that one vps to use.
create another bridge for eth0:7? then manually enter the ip info in the guest and bam?
Has anyone every done this before? There are so many better bargains out there for *nix based machines. We'd like to use some of these to host VMWare Server and then run one of our windows images on it.

I have configured and install VMWare Server on my server and currently trying to install Plesk. I have gotten the network working so I can download.
I want to give the VMWare Virtual Machine it's own IP so I can connect via PuTTY instead of the console, which e.g. does not let me paste url's (plesk download url is long).
I am planning to host a few websites on the Plesk Virtual Machine. I have added the IP my network provider given me using 'setup' in CentOS and it's listed in /sbin/ifconfig, but does not work yet.
Do I first need to add the ip to the host server self? Or can a VPS directly use an ip?
(PS: Do I use too many hard breaks in my texts?)
The newer Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processors had so called 'VT'-support. That's something every regular processor has nowadays.
I currently run a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz server without VT. Will there be a drastic performance boost if I use a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with VT?
What is VT anyways? I only know that Xen requires it if you wish to host a Windows Virtual Machine on a Xen Linux Server.
what is the fast and best way?

If your server's ram is more than 6GB, you have to have a 64bit OS but I have tried to install vmware server on a 64bit server, it seems to be crashing my vmware server every 5 min and I cant use it more until I reset this service.

Our company website runs on a Win 2003 server with ASP.
Now we also want to run some new PHP applications (e.g. MediaWiki). I think of running them in a (Linux) virtual machine on the Win 2003 server, to keep everything separated.
Does anybody else use VMware to split his dedicated server in several parts? It sounds like a good idea to me, but can not find much information about it. Or are there better alternatives?

Can I run both Windows & Linux on a dedicated server? I currently have a website hosted on a shared hosting Linux web server (uses PHP, MySQL). I want to use RED5, which seems a bit tricky to set up.
Why Windows?
I would feel more comfortable installing RED5 on a windows server (I think it'd be easier for me, no experience with Linux command line etc.).
Why Linux?
I'd prefer to keep the existing PHP/MySQL website on Linux because I have Apache specific settings.

Are there and decent tools that you use to keep an "eye" on your server to lookout for hardware issues?
E.g., it would be nice to get an automated email sent if a server's temperature went above X or if S.M.A.R.T. errors were detected with a hardrive, etc.
