When i add a new domain to plesk, it puts in the correct Name servers in, but it also adds the computers name into the list and when getting it checked out from intodns.com it flags it saying missing Name Servers.
Into DNS : [URL] ....
I have also attached a screenshot showing what DNS Manager is showing.
I have a Windows 2003 Server I use as a regular computer.
It would occasionally slow down to a crawl and programs become unresponsive. The hard drive light is usually on when this happens, and it usually lasts like a minute or two, then things are back to normal again.
Sometimes I'm lucky and get to open up task manager to try and see what's causing this. However every time the CPU load is low, and memory usage is normal.
How can I figure out what is causing this, or how to get rid of it?
We're working with a new Plesk 12 server, I have migrated a bunch of sites from an old server, and all SSL enabled sites and certs have come across correctly, however if I add a new site, and SSL cert, the cert is not selectable at domain level, and is not being served at all.
My process is:
At settings level - create new CSR and enter certificate received from provider.
Then select this cert on the IP address management screen.
This has always worked, and presumably still should. But at domain level, Plesk is only allowing me to select the default cert. And even though I have linked the cert to the IP, it is not being served to browsers.
I can only assume that I have a virus or adware on my server but Acunett says that there is nothing. I double checked all of my email sending php scripts and all of them are secure and not sending any spam. However in my mail queue in WHM I see spam emails and my server's IP keeps getting relisted on the blacklist located at:
[url]
AM I THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WITH THIS PROBLEM? This is getting frustrating I have probably spent over 200 hours trying to get this resolved but it seems like no one knows what to do. This is hurting my business since I have tons of emails stacked in my queue and being blocked by email providers due to that blacklist. I remove my server's IP successfully and the next day it is blacklisted again. If anything how can I check my linux server for viruses?
I have some customers who use a VPN to connect to the internet securely. (They live in a restricted country.)
So when they connect to the VPN, it gives them a new IP, and when they go to "whatismyip.com" it shows the IP of the VPN server, as expected.
The problem is that sometimes their IP changes back to their local ISP without any indication. The VPN still appears to work (green lights are displayed in the VPN icon in the sytem tray), but their IP is now the local ISP providers, which means they are not fully "protected" any more.
And that is bad.
So, what I'm thinking is to find a Windows program or script or something that runs every x minutes.. and checks to see what is the current IP. If it isn't as expected (the VPN server's IP), then a big red warning window would start flashing on the screen, so they can then reboot or restart the VPN.
Does anyone know of such a program?
(BTW - they are using openVPN, latest version. And yes -- it works properly 99% of the time.. but for some reason the IP just changes back to local ISP for no apparent reason. The log does not show any errors or helpful indicators.)
1) If I'm logged into my {other VPS} with Putty, then
ssh root@67.xx.xx.xxx
successfully logs me into {new VPS}, after the password prompt, so I know the root password can login (some of the time)
2) ...but not my Windows computer, both Putty, and SFTP fail.
The SFTP error message is :
"ERROR:> [7/31/2009 9:48:08 AM] Can't connect to 67.xx.xx.xxx:22. SFTP21 error = #0."
Port 22 is correct, according to hosting support.
3a) Hosting support said...
"Based on the information you have provided to us, I am assuming that either your firewall or ISP is blocking the standard 22 SSH port. If you would like, we can change this to a custom port number."
3b) That response doesn't help, since I'm using port 22 for the {other VPS}

I want to make a website but I dont want to pay the hosting fees. I have a few old but pretty powerful old computers sitting around my house just collecting dust. Is there a way to make a web hosting server from those old computers to host my site? They have umbutu and I can make them dedicated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently in the process of installing a mysql database server on my dedicated game server box. I was using shared hosting before, but i got a complaint from them that i was using too many connections and memory so i have to host the database myself.
Here's the stats of the server:
Dual Core Dual CPU Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz (2 core per cpu & 2 cpu's)
4GB RAM
120GB SATAII Hard Drive
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 (180 Day Trial)
Currently, im hosting around 10 game servers on the machine with around 30% CPU load. I'm running with the page file disabled (its using 2 GB of RAM instead). Server runs fine like this (i heard its a performance boost, and it is). Over 2GB of ram are free at all times even when most of the game servers are full.
I want the database server to be able to as many connections are need from the game servers but at the same time i dont want to affect performance of the game servers. Any suggestions on what settings i should use?
I'm currently using these settings:
key_buffer = 512M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 512
sort_buffer_size = 1M
net_buffer_length = 8K
read_buffer_size = 256K
read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 16M
max_connections = 100
query_cache_size = 128MB
query_cache_limit = 4MB
tmp_table_size = 30MB
wait_timeout = 120
P.S. The SQL will have 3 databases (AMXBans, SourceBans, & a RP character db). Everytime a player connects to one of my servers, their information is checked against the database if they are an admin. So in total i have around 126 slots for players to connect on.
what network device would suit our needs (and whether there is something like what we need).
The device should meet following criteria:
-it should appear as one device only: a L2 switch is not an option as the device has to announce only one MAC address on the uplink port
-plug&play: a gigabit L3 switch is not an option because we would have to change the default gateway of the already configured servers to the L3 switch's IP
-gigabit ports
Is there any reliable device that could be used for this purpose?
I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...
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??
We are about to shift from linux server to plesk for some reasons given by our management.
I am interested to know that Plesk 8.X or 9.X comes with MS SQL edition in built? or we have to install that separately? This is for a hosting server so the server should have both MY SQL and MS SQL both, how to shift this in plesk, is it possible?
Also if we install plesk will it come with tomcat server? or not? some hosting clients need Java with tomcat?
I have a windows server with plesk 7.6 i want to install the new version of plesk 8.6, how can I do? I want my domain names (4) be working well with the new version of plesk. I don't know if I backup my domains, plesk 8.6 will recognize from 7.6.
the main reason I want plesk 8.6 is because i want to use the latest version of php and also i want to install wordpress and I think the new plesk will be working fine with these programas
do you have any ideas how can I keep my domain working after I install new plesk?
I have been using MailEnable standard (free) edition for a few months and faced problems of such as mail server crashing every few days, users being disconnected while downloading mail via POP3 etc.
I'm serving not more than 20 sites and only a few of them user mail server frequently
a better mail server to use with Plesk on Windows.
For one of my dedicated server I have the follwoing scenario:
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 X64
Plesk 11.5.30 Update #48
Plesk Panel - Tools and Settings -> Database Server -> Add Database Server
Type: MySql - host: localhost - Port 3307
Actual Result: error unable to connect to host
Expected result: New instance and service of MySql Server
Port 3307 is no firewalled and I have added a rule to allow connection on 3307
I am just wondering if Plesk 11 supports the ability to manager smartermail installed on a different server?
I know 10 didn't, and I dont' see that in 11 but just wanted to check.
My Plesk 11.5 server will not connect to my SQL 2008 server. It runs on a Windows 2008 server. I have turned the Windows firewall off. The servers are on the same IP subnet. I can ping the SQL server by name and address, remotely Login successfully using SQL management studio, and map a share to a drive.
The SQL server is in Mixed Mode. I can telnet to port 1433 and login. The SQL server has TCP/IP enabled. Connections made by web sites - mostly ASP driven - connect normally. The Plesk console fails to connect with the following error -
Error: Test connection to the database server has failed because of network problems:
Get database server version failed: Login failed for user '????'.
(Error code 1)
I created a User Account with the Administrator Role for one of my colleagues & the User Role Properties indicate that access to all of the Plesk services has been granted.
However, when my colleague logs in, he's unable to see the Server tab (see attached screen shot).
Where do I configure the permissions so that he can see the Server tab?
I have set up a Plesk Windows server behind a CISCO PIX 501 firewall and since then am not able to upgrade Plesk to the latest version. It cannot connect to the Plesk Update server. which port do I need to open and whether it will be inbound or outbound?

I have a dedicated server and I am about to get a few high traffic sites that will be Joomla based and MySQL served. What I am thinking a about is to create another MySQL instance, leave the current websites on the "old" instance and get the new ones onto a separate instance.
I am on PPP 11.0.9 on windows and the current mysql version is 5.1.56 on port 3306 (I can get other ports for other instances).
What I did was the following:
In the Database Servers page, I hit "Add Database Server"
In the next page I add the following:
MySQL (from the dropdown)
localhost
3307
(leave blank the default check box)
I then add the Administrator's username and passwords and hit OK.
The next page, reports an error message (in between asterisks below):
************************
Error: Test connection to the database server has failed because of network problems:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
************************
The primary (eg. current) mysql instance is working fine, it's just I cannot add a second server...
I had some question about the migration tool : My task is to migrate a domain from a server with plesk 9 version to another server with plesk 12 version.
1. Does the migration includes the ftp accounts contained in the domain ?
2. During the migration can users from the plesk 9 server still connect to the ftp server and continue working on it ?
PRODUCT, VERSION, VERSION OF MICROUPDATE, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
Plesk 11.0.9, Windows Server 2012
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: I have an application that uses customer prefixes ex. user1.domain.com, user2.domain.com. The application exists in one plesk subscription (with exclusive IP), the sales site (www) exists on another subscription on the same server (different IP - shared). On a previous version of plesk (9.5 I believe) I was able to easily point the www prefix to another subscription/domain on the same server. In Plesk 11 it won't let me do that ... when I try to create a "www" alias for the intended subscription I get the error message "Error: Wrong prefix for domain alias".
EXPECTED RESULT: Some option to allow me to point the www prefix to another subscription on same server.
For the application's subscription, the DNS is hosted within plesk, for the intended www subscription the DNS is hosted at godaddy. I don't think any of that makes a difference but mentioned anyways.
I guess the Plesk 12 is the best version of plesk for windows since i work with plesk on version 8.
But the backup task still has a problem, now i can't backup my server using backup manager. If i create a manual task to create backup after few hours the server and plesk just get to slow to use. Only when i remove task i can use back server.
When Parallels create a backup task who's really work ?
How can i backup all my accounts of server in case of crash?
