Open Source Web-based Interface
Apr 7, 2008What is the best open source web-based interface for system administration for Unix?
I found one named Webmin but I'm not sure if this is a stable project.

I bought two Dell R200 because they was extremely cheap.
My target is Open Source SAN with active/passive setup.
Now i was wondering what RAID-level I should go for.
I will use 1TB SATA-II disks.
1) RAID-1 in both servers and mirror each other with DRBD.
With this setup i have like double RAID-1 so i lose lots of disk space.
4 disks -> 1TB
2) No-raid at all and i will mirror data with DRBD.
4 disks -> 2TB
Then there is change to go for RAID-5. Theres enough space to put third disk in that case
3) RAID-5 in both servers. Mirrors data with DRBD.
6 disks -> 2TB but more performance.
But in every setup i lose space more then i would like to.
Actually i dont need space more then 1TB, but i would like to get best possible redundancy and most space available i could.
Also need to remember that those servers does not support hot-plug HDs so in case there is disk-failure i need to be able to shutdown one server and iSCSI should still be up and running.
Of course theres change to make it active/active.
I was thinking that if I go for the RAID-5 I will make LVM-VG on both nodes (san-vg1 and san-vg2) and use it 50/50.
In case of fail both VG's will be used from working node.
Im going to use Debian Lenny I guess..
I was looking for OpenFiler because of the GUI, but im familiar with Debian and have always done everything from cmd.
an A/V kind of solution, that allows me to use my own custom signatures, etc. just wondered if such a thing existed.

Can't understand that statement.
if anyone replaces a commercial program with their own open source as for eg what Friendster did. For Netscaler, any open source development that are close are similar to it?

The information they have harvested off the internet (since I know where they found it) and have obtained solely for use in attempting to charge me is-
Invoiced To
Steven Crothers
12345 Main St.,
Detroit, MI, 48021
United States
Which is completely obvious that it is fake.
I respond to EVERY invoice with a cancelation request, yet the tickets that get opened in the WHMCS billing panel get deleted a day later, however I have tickets in there that I have opened by use of the ticket insertion form that have stayed - none of which were ever answered.
The latest ticket information-
Department:Billing And Invoicing
Date:09/10/2009 10:05
Subject:The Second Time...
Status:Open
Urgency:Medium
It's still open without a reply.
I have put tickets into their Kayako system as well (They have two support systems, I would assume its due to poor management of their company). One of which was answered, with simply the output of `uname -a` on some server somewhere with my name as the hostname.
I than have attempted to reach anyone via livechat at [url]they constantly tell me that I am not allowed to speak to anyone until I pay my bills up to current (now remember, I have NEVER ordered anything from them, they don't even have valid information on file). Just tonight I demanded that I required to speak to a billing agent or I would be pressing harrasment charges against them for the 23 emails I have recieved in 3 months from them trying to extort money from me. They than banned me from their LiveChat software.
I have no idea what to do at this point, they are just sending me bills every month. I mark it as spam, but its frustrating to have a company trying to extort money from me on a very regular basis.
What open source in linux do you know for anti-spam & anti-virus? Is there existed a benchmark?

Is there any Open source backup software available for web hosting companies? I have a few shared hosting servers and a few dedicated servers and I want to setup a backup server for the backup of the data and config files of the servers. Please give me the names of some good open source backup software.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI own a small tech firm, mostly in business to support the customer with basic repair and upgrade. In recent year, more and more of my SMB customer ask me about the hosting service of the CRM or CMS.
The question I have is, although the open source tool, such as SugarCRM and Drupal is free of charge, but will it be free for some one like me to offer the service to my customer, either the same or customerize it a little bit.
And if it can be done, what kind of precaution I need to take, so I will not be involved in the copy right battle later on.
Thought this might be of interest to folks on WHT. We put together a solution using Nginx ( Engine-X ) to do Global Server Load Balancing. This solution lets you do GSLB without having to fork over $26k per site to F5 or Foundry.
Thought it would be of interest to both end-users as well as dedicated hosting providers who might want to make it into a service (eg. sell a dedicated host in Europe and the US as a group, with the solution pre-installed).
The entire project, including relavent configs is available for download in the latest ( issue 6 ) FREE issue of o3 magazine (o3magazine.com)
I want to set up a dedicated server for spam and virus filtering (MX)
But i was wondering, is there a good opensource based tool for this?
Do you have any recommendation for an open-source firewall running on Unix which could do:
- Filter and redirect incoming (with exception for some IP).
- Filter outgoing port (with exception for some local IP or MAC).
- Monitoring incoming traffic
- Monitoring outgoing traffic
- Block access from external to a list of IP
- Proxy authentification
- VPN configuration
I search for 2 days now and nothing seems to respond to these requirements. It's for a local network.
I have a task of converting a current Win Server based apache server from multiple IP based virtual hosts to a full name based virtual hosting.I'm famiilar with the steps but I was wondering if there are any gotchas in Windows that I should be aware of. It seems that now matter what I change in the new config it doesn't work or work as expected.

I have a HP IP Console Switch 3x1x16
Is there any web application to install a server and access KVM without the application HP desktop?
I've got about a dozen servers on a single Linksys 224 switch but it only has the choice of 10/100 for port speeds. I need something that can actually limit thru-put per port in 1mbps increments and also has snmp.
The obvious choice would be a Cisco, but I don't like to toss technologies I know nothing about into the systems that pay my rent and I just don't have the time to learn IOS right now. I can deal with a Linux command line, but I haven't heard of any Linux-based switches. I also don't have any serial ports on my latest laptop so I'd actually prefer a web-based interface like the consumer stuff has.
Lastly, it has to have gig-e uplinks like my existing Linksys because I'm going to be jumping up to a 200mbps commit pretty soon.
This is my first post here and this sub-forum seems to be adequate for my question. If it is not, I apologize in advance.
I want to create a web application for an upcoming project of mine that has the potential to attract a large number of people. So the web application needs to be fast and secure at the same time.
I used PHP for minor projects for some time now, and although it is really efficient for quick web development, it _appears_ to me like a house of cards waiting to collapse. If you know how to use it properly, it can be acceptable, but there are still numerous security exploits in PHP itself that have surfaced over the last decade. Additionally, it tends to be quite slow and has a lot of bugs that aren't really security related, but can make your life hard. I've run test scripts (that I optimized for web deployment) on my own computer, and even on my own computer which is way faster (in terms of CPU speed, number of cores, RAM, and so on) than most servers, it runs slow--without any database access! And I honestly don't buy the "your server will spend most time in your database anyway, so don't worry about that" statements. I've tested it with databases that have millions of rows in them, and coded a test script that accesses the table and then calculates stuff from that and outputs it. If I comment out the database access the time needed to execute the script is only marginally reduced. I observed the same in my other projects. I also used Python and the problem seems to be the same.
Now, before the PHP/Python fanboy crowd yells at me: "Google uses Python and Wikipedia uses PHP, too". Yes, I know. But they have a lot of money to throw at the problem and can easily add new hardware if needed (Wikipedia alone has collected over 6m USD in the last year from donations). And a Wikipedia staff member I talked to some while ago told me that it's a miracle that Wikipedia is still running given that it is written in PHP with all its security problems (not my words).
So I thought: why not use a compiled language?
The obvious advantages would be that it is faster, and that I can leave out all the junk that is not needed in my case, thereby decreasing the chance of badly written code running in memory.
I have coded in C and C++ for a long time, including security-critical applications. So I absolutely know how hard it can be to write really secure applications, but I think it is also fair to say that I know how to minimize the risk of buffer overflows, validate user input properly, and so on. I often force myself to review my code some time later, in order to spot coding mistakes that you just won't see the first time. Additionally, I've created a neat string library around the standard library that makes string manipulation as easy as in PHP or Python.
So I continued my thinking: why not use C/C++ for your web applications and 'somehow' interface them with your web server?
And that's the problem--the 'somehow interface'. I don't know what to use that won't be deprecated in like 5-10 years from now. CGI seems to be quite okay, but I heard there's a huge overhead due to loading the executable into memory each time a user requests a page. FastCGI seems to be a better solution, but is not as widely supported.
My question is: What interface should I use if I want my web apps to be compiled? CGI, FastCGI, what else? The interface needs to be supported into the far future, it needs to be efficient and fast. And there's also one more important factor: time. Coding the application itself is an acceptable time loss, but if I can only run the app on a dedicated server and have to manage the whole server myself, this can become quite cumbersome. I'd really like to use a solution that can be run on a managed server.
I want to create a mailserver setup ( SMTP/POP3/IMAP/SSL) in my server which in public network.Can any one suggest the Webbased GUI interface tool which manages my mailserver setup . The tool must able to manage users ( creating mail users,allocating quato).
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement where one of our partner is planning to connect to our datacenter using a dedicated leased line.
As per our partner, they will engage a Leased line vendor for this. This vendor will terminate the leased line ( Single mode fiber -- SC connector) to the Comm room of our Colocation provider.
I have next to nothing knowledge about fiber connectivity and have few questions in this regard.
Q1. If Single mode fiber is terminated at COLO's Comm room in form of SMF SC connector, what kind of cross connect should we request from COlo's comm room to our cabinet. ( SMF / MMF )
Q2. How are these cross connects terminated in cabinet? Do Colo provider use some kind of fiber patch panel or they simply provide a fiber link with SC/LC connectors at the end of it?
Q3. If cross connect needs to be SMF SC then which cisco routers support SMF SC interfaces? Do I need SC-LC patch cable?
(I looked at the various option but could only find the following GLC-LH-SM or GLC-ZX-SM for SMF connectivity. I read about these and found that GLC-LH-SM is used for terminating single mode fiber that spans up to 10 km and GLC-ZX-SM is used for terminating single mode fiber that spans up to 70 km in length. It looks as if both of these support LC connectors. Are these the only two SMF connectivity options? Do I need SC-LC patch cable )
Q4. Our partner only tells us that the terminated link will be terminated using SMF SC. How to figure out if GLC-LH-SM or GLC-ZX-SM is required.

I have 4 very low traffic websites hosted with Godaddy on a single hosting account. The thing is that I like their email interface and I totally hate cpanel webmail.
Godaddy webmail is pathetically slow these days and I am thinking of moving hosts. Is there any other webhost with a nice webmail interface such as GoDaddy's?
does anyone know about control panel written in Java so I can run it in Tomcat (I don't wont to mix apache and php as I'll be hosting only a java site) ? so far I had a look at direct admin, webmin and lxmin.

Why no such file or directory? weird. It's just on the server though. The FTP user is the owner/group of the directory I try to chmod to.
But I am able to run chmod on Putty.
