For VOIP traffic I am thinking of moving some servers from bay area to C4D.
I store all my server boxes so its easy to UPS them.
My question is if i wanted the servers to be shipped back from c4d in case of any reason in future do they keep the original boxes around to ship the servers back?
I have 2 different servers one with Plesk 11.5. and one new just installed Plesk 12.0, the 12.0 will not send emails out but i get them back to the inbox of the outgoing server. is there a fix for this as i have tried both postfix and qmail to send out emails all with the same result.
It seems that something has changed from version 11.5 to 12.
The plesk configuration is installed on Debian 7.7 OS
I have a managed box with rackspace (green) On this I am running a couple of distance learning sites e.g howtofish.com (moodle on apache) and video streaming (lighttpd). This is all working fine.
I'm now looking at moving our "normal" website (drupal on apache) to a managed server with rackspace. (call this blue)
The 2 different parts will be running on 2 different machines, but I'd like to be able to move sites/applications between them if needs be due to load/work/failure
For example if the normal website server goes down, temporarily move that on to the distance learning/media server or vice versa. Or if after a while we get more traffic on the distance learning server than the website, move the media server over to the normal website server.
Hope that makes sense - I'm not looking at a proper cluster here, but 2 servers I can juggle things between if needs be.
The way I'm thinking of doing it is having both machines with the same setup (apache port 80 and lighttpd port 81 for streaming) And use Vhosts on both machines setup for all the sites. i.e. green.flyfishing.com and blue.flyishing.com each have vhosts setup for flyfishing.com, howtofish.com and fishingvideo.com.
This way, whichever server the dns for flyfishing.com points to goes there, and the same for other services.
Then do a nightly backup of the mysql databases to the other server and keep files rsynced.
Then if a server goes down or I want to move x from green to blue I just load the backup of green database for the relevant application on the blue server and point the dns entry for the app to blue.
We have a server with a fine company, BocaCom. They are who the IP addresses are we use ultimately registered to. It seems we are being blacklisted by secureserver (isn't that Godaddy?) because the IP does not register to us for our outgoing email. It registers to BocaCom.
Is anyone else having this problem, and how to we get around it? We've contacted BocaCom and are waiting for their reply. Is this an IP issue or am I reading the secureserver reply wrong?
---------------- Dear Sir/Madam, While there is indeed an rDNS record created for 72.35.xx.xx, it does not point back to the original A record. This will need to be updated before we can look further into unblocking the IP. ----------------
I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 2u server, and having problems finding a box to ship it out to a datacenter. How do you pack it, and what shipper do you use?

Hello,
AnchorVPS is now unable to provide any service to any of our clients. We ask that you backup your data within 48 hours and find another provider.
If you have any questions or queries then please contact us at support@anchorvps.com
Thank You,

Never thought a company would do this to their own clients. 48 hour notice?
Thought the headers in the email were suspect so I decided to open up a ticket asking if this is a legitimate message.

I ever seen a large mailbox be reliable, but now I have one that's mine and I have 8000 messages and 1.2gb. I can't even log into Horde webmail, if I use NeoMail its very slow, it takes 1 or 2 minutes to delete 100 messages or empty the trash. So I tried to setup the email account in Thunderbird and it times out. When I use POP3 thunderbird says it timed out but on the server I can still see the CPOP process for that user and it says it authenticating, if I try again to access it it says the mailbox lock is on, if I remove the lock same thing, no way to access it.
So any advise on how to access this large mailbox, perhaps there is a way to increase the timeouts?
Also whenever I try to do anything with the mailbox it increases the server load, from .20 or so it goes to 1, 2 even 3+
I currently run 16 boxes which I rent from various data centers, mark-up and resell. Conventional wisdom says that it's time for me to start colocating my own servers. I've got approval for capital (loan) so it's no problem for me to just buy these boxes and colo them. But... how the hell does anyone afford it?
I mean, I can get a cabinet in H.E. with 10Mbps burst to 100Mbps for $600/mo (through EGI). Which is an insanely good deal until you realize that it only includes 15amps of power. So (I think) that means that I can really only run about 15 or 20 Celerons at the most. So much for filling up the rack.
Optimistically, if I can run 20 Celerons which I've priced at about $700 each including shipping -- plus a switch, KVM, spare parts and bank interest over 24 months -- that's about $800/mo for the servers plus $600 for the cab, plus about $200/mo for remote hands in case I need the DC guys to do something. I'm looking at about $80/mo per server which I have to pay whether it's rented or not.
I can easily find celerons for $80/mo which include some level of support and I can very easily cancel whenever my client does and buy a fresh new one whenever I get a new client.
I was all excited to go colo -- but the numbers don't add up. What am I missing here? What's the big advantage to all the extra hassle of owning your own?
I made a mistake that i resized and modified the /tmp directory. Can i have it back from original ? if so, how do i do it ? I'm using CentOs 5 64bit and DirectAdmin.
O/S was corrupt so I had to do a reload on a new drive. I'm trying to mount original drive (already connected as 2nd) but it is not showing up in df -h

Many of the VPS providers I've looked at don't back up the servers that house the VPSs and as such don't back up the VPSs either - have you considered what would happen should the VPS itself be erased (such as what happened to vaserv/fsckvps not too long ago)?
I'd like to create a forwarding address, and not have the original account keep the mail - but without having to delete the original account, since I'd like to keep my existing emails.
For instance if the old account is apples@domain.com, I'd like to forward new emails to oranges@new.com, where apples doesn't keep the new emails. Currently in cPanel when I create a forwarder apples@domain.com=>oranges@new.com, new emails are sent to both accounts.
I have 408 error and put a domain to impersonate the original is blank or rediccionamiento domain to the original. He always says: Time Up and error 408.
I have experimented a strange behaviour on plesk linux 12.0.18 Update #33
Basically: 1. I have recompiled Apache with more file descriptors 2. Several days later watchdog did not work properly. Support requested me to remove and install wd 3. I ran the autoinstaller. All my compiled version where replaced.
Watchdog is ok now, but I have to recompile Apache.
I have been searching on forum and kb but could not find any reoccurance.
Question : Is there a way to avoid this ?

One of my customers asked me if is possible technically to offer free email services.
Since he's going to launch a big portal he want to offer such things later, for all users.
Now, there are problems as: a) if there is any possibility to compress emails similar with GMAIL or YahooMail or so, because i can't imagine the email is uncompressed
b) how can be handled email boxes over multiple (mail ?) servers if the HDD space needed would be larger than for one server HDD ?
I have a lot of questions here so if you can't answer them all I understand. even pointing me somewhere where I could get the answers would be appreciated; hardware sites focusing on server hardware, forums focusing on such, etc.
we plan to have three different types of servers:
- db server (self explanatory. mysql. for forums, mysql driven sites.)
- file server (lots of files around ~2-10MB, consistant 70mbps right now, but we want more room for upgrades. needs a LOT of storage room.)
- web server (lots of php files, but also static things like plain html, images, etc. also includes all misc services for the setup-- dns, etc.)
could I be given a rundown for which hardware each of the three should have? I don't need specifics, even just knowing that more ram is important here while cpu doesn't matter as much, or that the fastest disks available are a must, etc would all be valuable info for me. despite that, I certainly wouldn't mind specific hypothetical hardware configs.
for the database server I'm assuming the more ram the better. not entirely sure about the cpu? also not positive on disks...
for the fileserver, how much ram would be practical or useful? disk io will be an issue I'm because plenty of people will be pulling files at once so the disk needs to read from multiple places. scsi (and even raptors) are not an option as we need 750GB+ of space on a reasonable budget. more ram will take some load of of the disks, but how much is neccessary / reasonable?
for the web server I'm assuming cpu first, then ram, but it'll likely need less ram than the db server?
I'm more lost on the disks than anything. scsi on the fileserver is not an option under any circumstances due to $/GB. for the db & web server I'm willing to pay for scsi if the performance increase really does warrant the extra money, but I'd like to be convinced before shelling it out. if you have benchmarks geared at server hardware when it comes to disks I'd really appreciate it.
also, what's the best way to network these together when colocated? each one with a dual gigabit ethernet port and then the communications go to and from the router?
I have setup a xen vps. I have installed a package called Ossim. The xen VPS is based on the OS -- Centos 5. There are no web hosting panels etc installed like cpanel or plesk. Iam going to proceed with a few more software installations on it like elastix.
However before proceeding further, i want to backup the entire vps ie the entire data in it.
I've always thought, and it is like that, that the back ups are part of any quality VPS Hosting service. But see this below. It is part of the TOS, listed by quite popular vps hosting provider.
"Your use of - - - servers and services is at your sole risk. - - - is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your VPS. While complimentary backups may be provided by - - -, you agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred to/from and maintained on your VPS and agree that it is your own responsiblity to take backups of data residing on your VPS."
