I made a backup of my ancient computer and put the whole thing in an external hard disk.
Now, when I opened my external hard disk, I found a lot of .dat files. I am wondering how can I convert them to something human readable, or how can I move the information to my new computer!
I'm trying to move data from my old server to new server, using WHM, now thing is while moving it just uses all IP on the system and when there are 0 IP's free, it says copying failed, How to make all accounts goon just 1 IP?

I want to move all the posts I have on that Wordpress site to:
somewhereelse.example.com
So basically changing a whole Wordpress blog from one subdomain to another subdomain on the same domain.
I want to keep all posts I have.
Could I simply back up the mySQL database and then upload it to the new subdomain? Will this work? I have some doubts as I don't know if the database it is linked to the domain name or not.
to move data (a lot) from one server to another. The thing is that the old server's host will not allow SSH access, not even just for a few hours. The new server is a dedicated, so I will of course have SSH there, but how should I handle this situation?
The data in question is massive..Much too much to download to the PC via FTP and upload to the new server. I'm not too familiar with FTP on linux. Could I use SSH on the new machine to FTP into the old machine and recursively grab everything (IIRC, the FTP protocol doesn't allow recursive gets...although it's been awhile since I've used CLI FTP)
My server provider is moving my server to a new data center, I am going to keep my data on it.But I am going to be assigned two new IP's.I have a Centos server with WHM and CPanel.
tell me exacly on which file on my server i need to configure my two new IP's, is changing them on WHM enough? Do I have to edit the DNS zone for each domain?.
Scenario: Our website has 3 terabytes of data (photos, database files, etc).
1. How does one move all of this data from one hosting company to another?
2. How does this typically work? Does it involve buying the actual disks?
3. Does this need to be specified in a contract that's signed with the hosting company?
Copying it over the Internet (ftp, sftp, or http) is not an option.
I just took a server at a hosting service where I already have several Plesk servers running. The servers I already have running are equipped with 2 conventional disks in RAID1
This new server is equipped with a 2 x 2 TB and a 128 GB SSD disk. With a setup wizard you can install Plesk which comes with licenses.
This new server has a bit different partition model where /var is mounted on the SSD and there's a /data that's mounted on the 2 TB RAID. This /data will then not be used for Plesk.
I can think of many scenarios to change this, but I don't want to find out in the near future that back-ups aren't working because I'm using a symlink somewhere (just an example). The increased speed of the SSD is of course good for the databases, so maybe it's better not to move everything to that partition.
I'm thinking of creating mount points instead of /var/www , /var/qmail and /var/lib/psa
Copy its content to /data/var/www , /data/var/qmail and /data/var/lib/psa
Then modify /etc/fstab so these will point to the appropriate folder
I think it's more robust and transparent instead of using symlinks.
And what are the folders I chose to move?
Apache didn't want to start due to a permission problem.. I think I solved it by making SELINUX permissive
grep SELINUX= /etc/selinux/config
Code:
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUX=permissive
[Code].....
so i already have a registered domain name (www dot guiceassociates dot com) which has a DNS record with an authoritative DNS server linking my domain to my IP address 70.91.50.213 (nslookup using "www dot guiceassociates dot com" or "www dot guiceassociates dot co dot uk" will confirm this).
I have a linux computer(it is successfully running apache, php5, and mysql, and the firewall has http services as an allowed service) that i am using as my webserver. i have statically assigned it the ip address 192.168.200.3
My router is configured to forward port 80 traffic to 192.168.200.3
however, when i type www dot guiceassociates dot com into a browser window from another computer, i get nothing (cannot connect to server)
I'm still new to the idea of hosting my own web server, so any and all advice is welcome, but my ultimate question is:
why isn't this set up working?
I wonder how do you protect your laptops or computers? Which software are used etc. That will be very interesting to know.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI installed Apache2. In the the folder "var/www/html" I created a symlink to a different HDD that holds a number of movie files. My thinking is that it would be easy to access the movies through a browser from any computer on my local network.
I used the following command string while in the html directory, and created the symlink:
ln -sd /media/guy/movie1/Movies test
While sitting at the server, when I click on "test" it opens the correct directory and exposes the files. If I surf to apache from another machine it does not show the symlink.
Here the permissions on the symlink
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 11 19:56 test -> /media/guy/movie1/Movies

Sometime you must have gone to a cyber cafe or used public computers to access the internet or mail.
Public computers are most prone to password hacking. Anyone can simply install a keylogger software to hack your password. Keylogging is one of the most insidious threats to a users personal information. Passwords,credit card numbers,etc.
It is very easy for the keylogger to harvest passwords. Each and every keystroke (whatever you type on the keyboard) gets recorded in the keylogger software and the person installing it can easily view what you have typed in.
For example,if you go to hotmail.com and check your mails. Say your ID is aaabbbccc@hotmail.com and password is snoopy2,the keylogger software records your usename and password in its log file as
www.hotmail.comaaabbbccc@hotmail.comsnoopy2
Risky isnt it?
Theres a solution to this problem and you can easily fool the software!!
The keylogger software sees and records everything,but it doesnt understand what it sees,it does not know what to do with keys that are typed anywhere other than the password or user name fields.
So between successive keys of the password if you enter random keys,the keylogger software wont ever come to know where you typed in what..
In the process of recording the keys,the string that the keylogger receives will contain the password,but embedded in so much random junk that discovering it is infeasible.
So...
1. Go to hotmail.com or yahoo.com or any other site where you need to insert a password or PIN.
2. Type in your user ID.
3. Type in the first characterof the password.
4. Click on the address bar in the browser,type in some random charachters.
5. Again go to password field and type in the second character of the password and probably third too.
6. Again go to the address bar and type in a few more random characters.
7. Back to the password field and the next characters of the password.
Keep on repeating the process till you type in the full password in the password field.
Instead of the password snoopy2,the keylogger now gets:
www.hotmail.comspqmlainsdgsosdgfsodgfdpuouuyhdg2
Heres a total of 26 random characters have been inserted among the 7 characters of the actual password!
No doubt it takes a little bit of more time than the usual process,but you are safe and secure that way!
I just heard this story on NPR yesterday discussing cloud computing, how you can use external computers to do super-computer sized tasks without having the hardware in house yourself.
If we host colocated servers, how feasible is it to get our servers into that game?
I have a client who runs a non-profit organization that puts computer kiosks (running Windows XP) in public areas where low-income people can use them for free. They take old computers, put them back together, and then install them into local grocery stores, gas stations, etc.. where people can use them for free.
This is non-profit work, so their budget is pretty much spent on hardware and upkeep of the computers. (ie: internet connections, Windows licenses, etc.)
They have about 3 dozen computers now, and managing them is becoming more and more time consuming and difficult so they have asked if I can make some suggestions to make things more efficient (easier).
All the computers are built with a hidden partition which contains a drive image. If the computer gets too "screwy", then they can simply re-image the machine and "restart". However, this requires a trip to the local computer, which takes a lot of time, and all of this is done by volunteers...)
One idea I had was to use "remote control" software so the volunteers doing the work don't have to actually go and physically see the computer when debugging a problem, updating software, reimaging the drive, or whatever.
A typical problem might be that the store owner where the machine is deployed will call and say, "It's not working any more". So now a volunteer must go and visit the computer to see what's wrong... but with remote control software they could simply login remotely, fix whatever is the problem, or if needed start the drive re-image.. without ever needing to visit the computer. (Save time!)
So... I've done quite a bit of research on remote control software, and there seems to be lots of "for pay" options. However, the organization just does not have the budget to pay for remote control on a few dozen computers. (Also, they are expecting to roll this out in multiple cities soon, so the solution must be scalable, and paying per computer just isn't realistic given their budget.)
I found the "VNC" remote control software, and that seems to be perfect. It's free, and seems to work well.
However, there are no less then 10 different "flavors" of VNC available, so I'm hoping perhaps a few people here might be able to recommend which one is the best solution. tightVNC, ultraVNC, miniVNC, there are even a few pay (one time small fee) projects.
I have no idea which one is best for them, and I just don't have time myself to investigate and test this all out to make an informed decision.
I'm hoping you can help me narrow down the many choices to either one or two options.
Here's what it needs to do:
- Needs to be "always on" so that the remote control software works immediately after the computer boots. (ie: Even if nobody logs in, remote user should still be able to see the screen and do a login.)
- Be impossible for computer users to remove.
- Be able to take control of the machine without anyone being physically present to click "ok" prompts or accept incoming connection, etc.
- Work with remote machines that are in a LAN with an unknown IP. (Some of the computers are plugged into an existing LAN so that they can use the existing internet connectivity.) In this case, the remote machine does not have a public IP, and the current IP might change after each reboot. The remote control software must be able to "see" the local machine, even if the IP changes, etc... (Maybe some software that runs on the remote machine that "sends" its IP or updates a hostname to an intermediary server every few minutes?
- Allow file transfers between remote machine and controlling machine.
I have 100+ sites on this hard drive, and one site in particular that meant the world to me.
My host sent the drive to Gillware first, but they failed saying that the file system was so severely damaged that they could not recover anything.
Then shortly after, my host sent it to DriveSavers, a very well-known company, but they also FAILED.
I'm extremely depressed because of this. Please don't post if you're going to say "make sure you do backups next time" because I've heard it 504329504395 times now, and while I do realize my mistake, saying that does NOT help me.
I am willing to spend ALOT to get my sites back. I still have hope. Are there any other companies out there BETTER than DriveSavers? Assuming that you'd still have hope even after two companies failed, where you would you go or what would you do?
How can I find the data transfer rate on the server. I have done ifconfig -a , it
display the amout of data has been received and transfered. I want to see the live data transfer date. Can I able to check it?
I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.
I have two reseller accounts at the moment, where all my domains are spread out at the moment. And I have just purchased a VPS from SolarVPS, and I'm awaiting the account details. Is there a way that I can transfer the sites across easily, such as creating a full backup and then restoring on the new VPS, or would I have do it individually for each website?
View 12 Replies View RelatedIt's now coming to the point where I really want to consolidate all of our kit (mainly in the UK) and move to our own AS number, now I already know what routing equipment we're going to use and that is appropriate for the amount of traffic we need to carry, but what I'm stuck with now is which transit providers to use. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount on transit, but not stupid amounts. It also doesn't matter where I can pick these up as the plan we have includes our own links between buildings.
First of all let me say this is going to be a very slow process, so please do not PM me with your offers for transit, I'm not interested.
The plans are to peer at a couple of exchanges, most likely LINX and Xchangepoint, and to pick up around 3/4 transit providers. Because most UK traffic goes via peers, what I'm really looking for are the bigger providers to improve transatlantic routes rather than smaller providers which just make the hop count longer, my shortlist is currently:
Level3
Telia
T-Systems
PCCW
C&W
Interoute
GBLX
