Multiple Servers Managment Creating Subdomain On 2nd Server
Jan 22, 2007
I currently own a few web hosting company's.
Where i seem to be having trouble is that i have allways used Reseller accounts to run my business. But recently this month i have purchased My own Servers.
I currently Own 9 Servers in total. So when it comes to Actual Server Managment im running into a brick wall lol
One of my business's invlolves Free web hosting.
And and I have been using one server for the free web hosting clients.
The problem is that sigle server is Maxed out I cannot add any more accounts to it withought jeperdising its stability.
This service Not only inlcudes Free domain hosting but sub domain hosting as well.
So now that you know a little background on what im doing heres the question
We use Client Exec as our billing and Auto Account Creation and we know its possible to Add multiple server to Client Exec and we can tell it to creat new accounts on anouther server But what hapends when someone wants a subdomain?
Its my understanding that subdomains can only reside on the server that the actual domain is being hosted. Is this right ? or is there a way to creat subdomains of a .com on anouther server where is not located...
Also i was wondering if it was possible to join servers together in one whm?
So under Ip Adresses we could just specify a new Ip & server would this work ?
I really need help fast since i get an average of 90 sighnups a day. and im sorry if theres a simple solution to this.. Im just new to actually owning my own hardware instead of using someone elses.
to me it just doesnt make any sence and i know it needs to be possible somehow ..

Over ethernet, maybe using iSCSI? Couldn't one machine have all the other machines mounted on it as another device via iSCSI and then add them to its local zpool? Is there a better way of doing this, where one machine isn't such a bottle neck, assuming that this can be done at all? I hope this makes sense..
Now,I would like to create an alias/sub-domain for this URL. For example: [url]-> [url]
[url]-> [url]
how this can be done? Do I have to create a subdomain for this? But when I try to create a subdomain throught the OLM control panel, it asks me for the real path i.e. '/var/www/html/subdomain_folder' which I don't have in this case. Secondly, can this be done without modifying any information in the DNS? Changing DNS costs be $5/change from OLM
One) allow users to register at the homepage. Then give them automatically a URL such as username mydomain com
Two) A catch-all subdomain so that if someone browses to xxxx mydomain d0t com and xxxx is not registered by any user; then it is redirected to www mydomain com
Three) All registered subusers details to be maintained in Mysql database (this seems to be easy)
Four) If possible, impose individual quota on each registered user (not really critical).
Which hosting plan should I go with for this? VPS? Shared hosting? Something else?
any particular company? what's the best approach for automatically creating the subdomain for each user upon registering at the site?
I remember back a few years ago there had been several companies providing server support only on mostly linux systems. I remember e.g. there had one been where one had to pay a monthly fee and could then send them support requests...
I am planning to create site with sub domains like smth.domain.pl and there will be around 10 sub domains now my question is how to handle sub domain creation trough plesk or by htaccess ?
I am trying to write a script PHP creating a subdomain on a server when executed (as well as doing other stuff, but that part work). But, when I send my request to the server, the script, while it does create the subdomain, doesn't display anything upon execution (I have put a few echo in the script to check the advancement, and nothing appears).
/** * Returns DOM object representing request for creation of new subdomain named after the parameter * @return DOMDocument */ function createSubdomain($nom) { $xmldoc = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8'); $xmldoc->formatOutput = true; $packet = $xmldoc->createElement('packet');
[Code] ....
The function curlInit and sendRequest are those used in the examples provided on this site, but I put them here just in case :
/** * Prepares CURL to perform Plesk API request * @return resource */ function curlInit($host, $login, $password)
[Code] ....
Why it doesn't send anything back ? When I modify the property line in the request, the script displays something, but it also fails at creating the subdomain (because the parameters are incorrect).
recently i created a domain subscription with 3 alias domains. Thanafter i created a sub domain to a folder in the main domain. At first all went fine but after deleting the alias domains subdomains ans domain supscrption to register all the 4 domains each seperately a problem accured and i cant add any subdomain to none of the 4 domains. registering the domains themselves as individual domain works for each one perfect. But as soon as i try to add a subdomain on any of that 4 domains i get an error that the dns data could not be updated. As it looks like there is still some codes in the plesk database that links to 4 domains in any kind together and prevents me to creste a subdomain.
How can i manually remove all the domains subdomains and alias domain garbage from the plesk database. I use windows version of plesk panel 11.0.9 on windows 2008 server datacenter edition. I have good skils in IT but im not familiar with mysql and plesk. how to remove the records from plesk Mysql database. Command line commands internal commands locations that have to be altered and all other needed steps.
I am using Web admin edition .I need to create two subdomains namely sub1.example.com and sub2.example.com with different IP address. So i need to create two webspaces since a webspace cannot have two domians pointing to two different IP. So now to I can create two webspaces set to different IP. But to create sub1.example.com in one webspace and sub2.example.com in another webspace , i need main domain example.com in both the workspace. But if try to create example.com in second webspace it already exists.Because it exists in another webspace. Actually i dont want to create example.com in both webspace. i need to its subdomain in different webspace.
So one solution is to create example.com and sub1.example.com in one webspace and create another webspace using Adding new webspace and specifying domain name as sub2.example.com. But i don't know does the second subdomain will work properly without creating main domain.
I need some expertise on how many servers we need for our site. Basically it is a flash interactive game where a heavy user might download 60-75 megs in a one hour session. Our hope is that we get lots of users, say around 1000 users an hour. Our current server is a AMD 3800plus dual core with 1 gig of ram. It is hosted through Aplus. I am just the programmer for the project and don't know anything in regards to servers, but my client wants to know if one server will be enough to handle the load of 1000 users an hour. Or should we run on multiple servers, etc.
I have a problem with my plesk v11, when i create a new subdomain and upload my asp.net application to that and make a request to view my web page it get Server Error 401 :
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
But my main web site have not any problem and works fine, my changes that didn't work :
Another question that i have is this happens because the Plesk's default permission assigning to the main domain so the users can view content without problem, but the permission isnt assign to the created subdomains ?
If this is the problem, how can i fix it so my users can see the content with our Windows Authentication or Forms authentication or anything else?
this is my domain name : www.senatex.ir and this is my sub domain : nerkh.senatex.ir
Also parallels default host files not have any problems, for example : content.senatex.ir
I recently upgraded to version 11.0. Since the upgrade, I am not longer able to to create Sub-Domains. I did this all the time with version 10x with NO issues whatsover, but now I get the following error when trying to create a subdomain:
I am hosted at EuroVPS from my reseller. I have noticed that my disk space has high usage 150MB whereas real usage should be around 30MB. Then I tried report service which stated disk usage is 30MB and Log report is 120MB. I said no problem let delete those Log files where I bumped to a problem, Log rotation is disabled and there is no X (delete button). In few years I could reach to maximum disk usage and disabilty to upload files and etc..
What to do now? I don't have password for support at EuroVPS since I am not reseller and my reseller isn't replying).
I have a managed server at LiquidWeb, but my backup server solution is also through an individual with a LW server that will be staying with LW. For uptime, I believe I want to move my primary server to another company/datacenter and stay with the backup solution I have at LW.
It seems Rackspace would be one obvious choice for maximum uptime to allow for everything in one spot, but at first glance it will be more expensive than a server at Softlayer + hiring a company to manage the server. (I definetely need managed and while I'm no expert, it seems you'd then have a better network)
I guess my question is about which companies (if any) would specifically be better to manage a server at Softlayer? If anyone has this type of setup, have you ever experienced problems because the server/management are not interconnected? Does this solution have any effect on the response time to fix a problem over an all in one solution?
I currently have 2 web servers both running the cPanel Control Panel.
Out of the two servers only one is used and the other is just used currently to test scripts. It has come to a stage with the website capacity that I now require both servers to run in con-junction with each other to spread the load.
Questions:
1) There is a file upload service, How would you go about networking both the servers to allow remote removal / uploading of files to different servers. Eg, If user is on server 1 and files are stored on server 2. Also deletion of files etc - The website is programmed mainly in PHP.
2) File updating - The website is constantly being updated and therefore both servers will need the PHP files to be in sync. How would you go about doing this?
Both servers are at the same Data Center location.
We are looking for KVM/IP solution for multiple server. Where we can add the users remotely and give temporary access to the server owners. Once they are done we remove them from access list. So it can be used by someone else.
Anyone know for KVM/IP solution with kvm switch which can solve our purpose of KVM.
I currently have two servers, one is rhel 5 with cpanel, the other is windows 2003 with plesk 8.4
Each server wants you to setup a Hostname... one that is FQDN but not being hosted on that server so I setup a generic dns domain as follows...
SERVERCODNS.COM
Now for the hostname I setup both servers to be use this domain but different prefix... so...
SERVER1.SERVERCODNS.COM SERVER2.SERVERCODNS.COM
Is this ok? Will I have problems?
My cpanel continues sending me emails nightly that my DNS is routing to another ip?
which bring sup my next question... Is is ok to NS1.SERVERCODNS.COM, NS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the RHEL server and then DNS1.SERVERCODNS.COM and DNS2.SERVERCODNS.COM for say the windows? Is this going to cause problems?
Whats the difference or proper procedure for setting up DNS with my registrar (*ENOM) vs in the control panels they have Nameserver tools?
Has anyway come up with a way to have several servers connected to one external CD-ROM on a USB Hub/network? This could allow a few external CD-DRIVES to handle a whole rack and the possibility of setting the bios via KVM/IP on a server to boot from CD, then it would boot from the CD tied in on the USB "network". Maybe using a USB hub? Or would this cause possible security issues having multiple servers tied in via USB ports?
I would love to have the ability to have maybe 3 or 4 CD-ROMs tied into multiple servers for OS installs remotely without having to actually go into the DC for this. You could put the CD-ROMs on your APC reboot and just turn on the one you need and set the bios to boot from CD (ie: one drive could have CentOS, one could have Windows, etc) I'd be interested in some ways people have done this or what they use.
I have a firebox firewall and two servers. I don't one machine to see the other one the network. The servers are for two different clients. However I would like to be able to access a backup folder on Server 2 from Server 1. What is the best setup for this?

What is the best way to run one command on multiple servers. Security isnt too much of an issue as I'll be doing a master/slave type setup, with the master being a system in the office with no ext access.
I'm thinking pssh is going to be quick and easy, what do you use?
I have 2x servers with the following os/control panels: 1x Windows Server 2008 running Plesk 9.2 1x Centos 5.3 running cPanel/WHM
What I wish to do is to point all of my domains to the nameservers: ns1.domain.com ns2.domain.com
But, the domains hosted could be on either of the boxes above (because some sites are ASP.NET and others PHP).
Each of the above machines are running BIND and I have not yet setup nameservers on either of them. How should I proceed with this?
In addition (for arguments sake), if I then add additional servers how would I then achieve the same?
If there's already stuff around on the forum (I've done a search but found nothing specified to my issue of running a windows and linux box with completely different control panels) please point me in the right direction.
