Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point.
I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall.
Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports.
What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server
I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server. What I've got running: Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.

VPS For Database Server

Web/Database Servers Setup
We are currently looking into getting a new setup to serve our online store, and I would be thankful for feedback as to which servers to choose. Today almost the entire store is on a single three year old dual proc/dual core server (4 gb ram, RAID5) that is beginning to get overloaded. (There is also a simpler secondary server that serves some static content and does some cron jobs.) The system is a in-house developed LAMP (where the P is mod_perl/Mason). The database is rather large, two tables with 2-6 million rows are hit multiple times on most public pages - these grow with ~10% per year. Several other often-used tables are in the few-hundred thousand to a million rows, also continuously growing. We anticipate rapid sales/visit growth over the next couple of years (a good day today is 6000-8000 visits), so I'm thinking of separating the database and web server. The most likely hosting candidate right now is Softlayer's WDC data center (we are located in Europe). With that background, does this sound like an adequate setup: Database server Dual Xeon 5430 - 2.66GHz 8GB ram RAIDed 3x73GB (or possibly 147GB) (15k rpm). I'm thinking RAID1? The big tables are not written to too much during the day, so read performance is more important than writing. Web server This (these) would be serving the Apache/mod_perl part of the system. Some static content (images and some PDFs) unless we put them on a separate server (all static content are placed in a single folder so it would be easy to do a mod_rewrite to an image server). Dual Xeon 5050 or 7320 4GB ram 2x73GB (SCSI 10k rpm) RAID1 I don't think we need to load balance between two web servers from the beginning but that is something we will keep in mind (and hopefully have to do at some point). Are the two configurations sane (or is one overkill compared to the other)? Generally, how many web servers can a single database server serve? Email is handled separately (Google Apps). I estimate our budget to not more than $1000-1500 a month (if we go with Softlayer we will most likely use some other services such as firewalls, SAN and so on). We currently use Suse, I have previously used RedHat on personal servers at ThePlanet. Is RedHat 4 32-bit a sensible choice? I have some experience with CPanel so we would most likely use that.

Database Server - SCSI/Raptor
I'm about to purchase a 2nd server to use as a database server. I've been quoted for 2 x SATA II 320GB hdd's in RAID 1 (the same of which I currently use on my single server), but searching around it appears SCSI is the norm for db servers. The problem is, my host does not offer these as a standard/upgrade option and they would need to be specially ordered (along with RAID card), which is expensive. The fastest disks they offer are 150GB SATA 10K Raptors. My question is, would these be sufficient (compared to SCSI) and do they perform noticeably better than the standard SATA II disks? Quoted database server specs: Server = 1 x Dual Core Intel Woodcrest 5130 Memory = 4G RAM Hard Drive 1 = 320G SATA II Hard Drive Hard Drive 2 = 320G SATA II Hard Drive Raid Config = RAID 1 (3 Ware Hardware RAID) Bandwidth = 3000G Multi-Homed Bandwidth IP Address = 4 IPs OS = Centos 4.6 32 bit Service Monitoring = Ping Monitoring with Email Notification Server Management = Self-Managed Control Panel = None $239 Monthly

Database Driven Web-hosting Solution
I am developer and I ahve done web-site development and database development but it was for other companies where everything was already available. I was not sure if this was the right place for the post, but I thought I would atleast start here, if I should post this in some other category please let me know. I am satrting work on a Database driven web-site. I say database driven, becuase the web-site copares prices for multiple products. By some worst case scenarios(explained later) I need a database to easily acoomadate more than 1000 GB of data. I can definitely try cutting this down, but my question is what type of hosting should I choose and how when the web-site is completely relying on data that is updated on a weekly basis. The reason to keep old data is to use that to show a Price history and forecasting on future Prices. The thought of storing this data locally and just creating a summary has crossed my mind. The Data Scenario: Price of Products per store: 50,000 Approximate size for the table per store: 3 MB Number of stores: 500 Avg Size: 1500 MB This is the bare minimum 1500 MB + other tables + overhead Other tables: Forum data, Reviewes, User Favorite Products, etc. Number of weeks: 52 Avg Size: 78 GB Howevere the table with the most data and the table that would be changing the most is the Price table. So I am approximating the minimum requirement for the Databse to be atleast 2GB. My question now is: To be cost effective I can store the history on my personal desktop. But I still need something that allows me to have 2 GB of Database space. What is my best solution? I have no strict rules about platform or langauge, to get started I am just trying to be cheap but still find a decent web-hosting solution so that by getting started small I have hopes of going big.

More RAM Or CPU Power For The Database Server
Given the choice which is more beneficial. Some of the things I've read say Database servers use up more RAM and others say they use up more CPU power. I'm just not sure. Also, what HDD should be used for the database server? I have a choice for SATA or SAS. Some benchmarks are showing SATA as faster I believe, but that SAS is more reliable? Can anyone comment intelligently regarding that as well?

Pro's And Con's For Web And Database Hosting Options
I'm currently working for a company who are looking to migrate there current business system and also create an e-commerce website. The company (Company A) who were doing the migration were also going to originally take care of the e-commerce side of things aswell, but after looking at the website solution they have now decided to give it to another company (Company B) to deal with. But seem to be sticking with the original company to do the business system migration. Now this has created a bit of a problem with regards to the hosting side of things (amongst other things ). Originally this was all going to be hosted by Company A. This would keep it all nicely integrated. But now Company B are doing the e-commerce side of things it needs to somehow integrate with the business database. And now for the question (about time i hear you ask ). Can you give me the pros and cons of the following scenarios: Scenario A: We host both business system (database) and webservers onsite. Scenario B: Company A hosts business (database) solution. We host webserver. Scenario C: Company A hosts business (database) system. Company B hosts webserver.

Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

DB Server And Web Server In Different Data Centers
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry. Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

But Im moving my sites to a UK colo, I have been advised that its better to have Multiple Web Servers connected to a NAS / Storage Server?

How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks. My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql. The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server. I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work. Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server? I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server? I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.

Then I tried to ping from my server to other hosts - situation was the same - some ping were good and some were huge (700ms, 800ms, even 2000ms) I checked: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max and it was 65536 Then I checked: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count and it was ~1600 so normal. dmesg was showing such errors: conntrack_ftp: partial 227 3331059707+13 Then I checked ifconfig, here is the output: ------------------ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:21:57:2B:6F inet addr:MAIN=IP Bcast:BCAST=IP Mask:255.255.255.192 inet6 addr: fe80::224:21ff:fe57:2b6f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:170557113 errors:0 dropped:2421127049 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:182047660 errors:0 dropped:46 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2756835074 (2.5 GiB) TX bytes:79640621 (75.9 MiB) Interrupt:82 Base address:0xe000 ------------------ Strange for me was: RX packets [...] dropped:2421127049 TX packets [...] dropped:46 I did not have such dropped information on all my other servers. Dropped counter for RX was constatnly increasing. So I decided to restart all services on the server. After restarting network and ipaliases - problem disappeared. RX dropped counter is still rising, but I do not have any slowdowns on the server and pings are normal. My question is - does anyone could have any idea what can casue my problem and how can I prevent this in the future?

Network Access Only Server
I am wondering how powerful of a computer/server I'm going to need for a project for work. The server will only be accessible over the companies LAN, it will most probably need to be running Windows, because that's what the rest of the system runs. Even though I'd rather have it Linux. The server will be running Apache, PHP, and MySQL. It will need be accessed by around 100-200 workstations (200 on the far out side max). They don't need to write to the database. Just read. So possibly only 1 to 2 MySQL queries per page. PHP will be of course used to generate the pages. So how powerful of a server that's just dedicated to this would be needed? I realize this might not be the right forum for this, but the people here are so helpful

Server Outage At Network Solutions
I'm kind of annoyed. Not so much the server outage; I know those happen. What is annoying me is the inability to get anyone on the phone. I've been calling each of their 4 numbers in succession for the last 45 minutes. Finally connected with someone who has no idea what's going on, only that it is allegedly affecting their entire customer base. Man, if you're not going to answer the phone, at least put on a voice message, or maybe a banner on your Account Manager page. their site didn't go down, just the ones they are hosting. I'm a newbie at this so, for the vets, if you are experiencing a server outage, how long do you give your hosting company to give you an answer before getting "assertive" on the phone. It's not a big deal to me since currently I only use my site for email. However, there must be some folks losing a bit of cash by being out of commission for an extended period of time.

Do You Run An NTP Server For Your Network
I'm curious to see who here runs time services for their network / their machines. Also, if you do run time services, do you use a Stratum 0 time source (GPS, WWVB, DCF77, CDMA, et al) or do you just sync with pool.ntp.org? Is your NTP server in pool.ntp.org? What I'm really curious to find out is if anyone here provides stratum 1 time sources (a time source that is directly sync'd to an external reference clock, like a GPS). And have you even contemplated such a thing?

Seperate Web Server And Db Server Or
im currently planning to launch a number of sites that may or may not take off. Basically my question is that most people tell me to seperate the web server and db server, and i believe this is because of interfering IO between the two, and the cpu not being able to alocate between both of them effectively. How effective do you think a Dual Xeon box would be to run apache,squid,php, and mysql. I figured my original plan was 2 servers (each xeons for the db with a raid1+0), but going a dual xeon seems like a decent choice since we would only need to pay for 1U at a colo with opportunity to move the db off of it later when we need to and replicate the webserver when needed. Let me know if im off my mark here. I didnt post req/sec or anything because this is just a seperate xeon boxes VS dual xeon single box.

I have a few Websites on my server. I always used some one else DNS servers. Now I decided to try to use my own DNS server. It is installed on my webserver. During the testing I found that, when I try to use it, it assignes private IP address instead of public. This is correct for internal DNS use but wrong for the outside world. Can I do something about this or should I have the second server that hosts my DNS?

Rapid Site Deployment (database Driven Domain Name Server (DNS) + Apache Config)
I am trying to do something that I believe is fairly non-standard. What I am looking to do is create a system where I can rapidly deploy web sites without having to restart named and Apache. For example, if a customer completes a process, I want to be able to turn that site on immediately using a temporary domain (somecompany.example.com or othercompany.example.com). With some programming language (hopefully PHP) I would like to get the customer up and running with their site immediately without having to restart the server. While doing some research I found I could use MyDNS which uses MySQL to manage DNS data instead of configuration files. MyDNS can be updated on the fly. For Apache I have seen wildcard configurations, but everyone seems to be suggesting the use of mod rewrite. I would prefer that the domain maps directly to a specific folder: somecompany.example.com -> /sites/somecompany/htdocs (*.example.com -> /sites/*/htdocs) Does anyone know how I might do this with Apache. It seems similar to user directories (example.com/~username -> /home/*/htdocs)

VPN (Virtual Private Network) Server Setup
I'm trying to setup a VPN server on windows 2003 standard. It suppose to work like this if configuration is correct: the server will have 20 static public IP addresses, each of my workstations will use one of the 20 IPs to connect to the server, then connect to the internet with the same IP it connects to the server. So if I do a IP lookup, each workstation will show a different public IP but the server will always assign the same IP to the same workstation. Now all my workstations can connect to the server with any of the IPs I have, and they can surf the internet with no problems at all. However, if I do a IP lookup, every workstation shows the same pubilc IP which is totally not what I wanted. I have searched google and not much useful infor come up. Can any of the experts here help me out?

Any Security Risks With Setting Up Server On Home Network
Any security risks with setting up server on home network? I would like to set up a computer running linux or xp as a computer on our home network. We have about 3 other computers on the same network. My network manager says that it would be a security risk to the other computers on the network if I were to have the server running on the network. The server would be connected to a netgear wireless router and I would have ports 80 and 21 opened just for the internal ip address of the server. (for example, the server is on 192.168.0.3, and I had just the two ports open for it, while there were computers on 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.4). The netgear router has a firewall built into it. Each of the other computers on the network have software firewalls. I would not have a firewall on the server, and I really don't care if someone hacks it. So, what at worst could happen? Would the other computers be at risk? If you are a professional, I want your opinion also.

Prefered Method Of Network Redundancy (Server Connectivity)
There are several methods of offering network path redundancy. The basic decision for me has come down to: Do it at Layer 2 Do it at Layer 3 At the moment we have layer 2 redundancy to each server. 2NICs on the server up with one having the IPs for apache/mysql/etc. each nic going into a seperate switch and the switches connected together, with 2 routers running VRRP to handle the gateway. Everything is Vlaned. So basicaly the switch redundancy is done by spanning tree and the IP redundancy is done with a process on the router/server to move the IP to the other router/server NIC if there is an issue. I am thinking about going with 2 fully seperate networks. in differant subnets. where each router would have a gateway. the routers would talk to each other and they would speak OSPF or ISIS with the servers. This way I would move hosting onto loopback IPs on the servers and those loopback IPs would be advertised to the both routers through seperate networks. Again everything would be Vlanned. This has the advantage of getting rid of spanning tree which has caused issues from time to time. It would keep redundancy up and we could standardize on the routing daemon ran on the servers allowing all of the various OSs we run to have the same basic config for network redundancy. Where now each OS tends to have its own solution. This would make life easier from a config and troubleshooting point of view.

Cannot Access Windows 2003 Server From Network After Reboot
We are facing this weird problem from the past few days. Whenever we reboot the Windows 2003 Service, the server becomes inaccessible from the network or the internet after reboot. It is only after we run the sharedaccess.reg file available from http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/sharedaccess.reg and reboot the server, we can access the server remotely. But the same thing happens after rebooting the server again. We are also not able to start the Windows Firewall service. We get an error while trying to start the Windows Firewall Service. The screenshot of the error message is attached with this post.

Fast Server Turn Up + Colocation, Private Network, And Outside The Midwest
Is there a good dedicated server company that has fast guaranteed turn ups, allows colocation, a private network, and is outside the midwest? I want to colo my database server(s), firewalls, and switches but then use dedicated servers as web servers. Hopefully allowing me to add web servers very quickly as needed (someone getting /.'d). I would want the webservers on a private network only. Does anyone offer any type of service like this?
