New Dedicated Server - IIS Log Full Of 404s
Dec 5, 2008
I have a dedicated server plan for a few months now and host a few sites. I noticed my IIS log files were rather large and found that its loaded with 404s - over 50,000/day.
Based on the referrer data in the log file, one domain in particular was the main culprit. After contacting the webmaster, he replied that he used to have a dedicated server (same provider) with the same IP address as mine. I don't know why but a lot of his web content used explicit IP address rather than domain name. He purged a few bad references but the problem is he had a gaming site using flash games and there are literally thousands of swf files distributed in many places all referencing my IP.
I guess my question is - Is this a fairly normal occurrence and simply just a nuisance?
I estimate that it's costing me < 10GB/month in bandwidth based on number of 404s and the size of the 404.htm (2k). Should I be taking other action? Sorry for long-winded explanation.

I have a problem with a site that I'm hosting on a managed dedicated server - I'll try to explain this as simply as possible!
From my office I seem to have a problem viewing dynamic pages on the site.
- The HTML index page loads fine
- Internal dynamic PHP pages throw up 404s
- Other PHP pages/sites on the same server are fine
- The pages load fine using a proxy browser
- I've cleared my cache which made no difference
- From other locations (home) I have never had the problem
I'm obviously worried that I'm not the only person having these problems.
The fact that the site loads fine through a proxy indicates that there's not a problem with the server,
However I'm confused that it's not a local problem as the HTML pages shouldn't be loading either right?

I have a client who subscribed for a 1 Mbps dedicated line, he is getting about 900Kbps max, he insist that the datacentre is cheating on him. Datacentre reply
The bandwidth test is done remotely, which bounds to have lost of bandwidth in internet traffic to the remote site including the download test probable taking off about 100Kbps. 1mb bandwidth is base on IDC to POP
Is it reasonable to expect exactly 1024 kbps? Whats the loss to be estimated for overheads?

I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.

Is there a way to tar a compiled apache/php installation and move it to another identical server?
If on the first server I specify all the configure options for both apache and php to point to /usr/local/apache2 for example, and then tar apache2 dir and untar it on another server will everything work just like it should? Or do I need to compile apache/php from scratch on the second server.
It would be nice to just be able push the apache/php tar file on to the new provisioned server and be ready to go.
Has anyone done this before, what is the best way to do this and are there any issues to look for.

I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

I am going to be buying a dedicated server from kimsufi Most likely the 2XL Package.
My streamers will be using my server aswell, On weekends we will be running 3-4 streams at a time, weekdays 1-2 at a time.
Spreading all the streams out, at anyone time we will have 300 viewers.
I need to know your advice on this before i go spending money.
How do i convert my dedi into a flash media server, i need red5 or something, thats all i know so far. My streamers wil be streaming to server with FME, And i also want it coded so that my streams can only be embedded on my site.
Basically i dont have a clue where to start, how long would it take me to set up etc....
In addition, what kind of server do i need, windows / linux / traffic / burstable / standard etc..

I'd like to know, how do you backup a cPanel dedicated server to a remote FTP server? WHM's backup only allows you to backup the client's accounts, but not the cPanel settings, or the stuff in /etc?

I'm a a JAVA software developer and it happens that I need to configure a dedicated server running Win 2003.
It's already up and running with static IP address, however hosting offers a "Static IP Address", which doesn't really make sense, cause I already have one?
Other thing is domain name. Current domain name is registered with a different company and we don't really want to transfer it from that company. Can I get away with importing a domain name and changing MX records in the domain control panel?
Last thing is an email server. What do I need to set up an Email Server? I have a domain name with few POP3 email addresses. I thought about using hMail server for windows. What else do I need to do, pay for?

Whats the easiest way to create a private server within a dedicated server running cpanel/WHM/Fantastico?
I need to allow this 'virtual server', to host up to 10 domains, and for them to use their own nameservers, not the ones used on my dedicated server.
I have 2 IPs to spare, but I have no idea on how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated, or if you can guide me on where to get info on this.
i need this new reseller NOT to be identified with my own server (IPs)

Today I had MySQL and Exim both blow up on me. After some panicking I noticed that the /var directory was 100% full. I cleared out some old logs and got the server back up and running.
I wanted to ask you all how can I
a) identify what is taking up all the space
b) is there anything off the top of your head that I can safely delete?
The drive is 9GB so something other than just log files is filling it up.

Due to this, my cpsrvd keeps failing.
This might sound dumb, but how do I empty these folders via SSH/WHM?
