I would like to set up a quick and dirty mail server for my production machine.
Basically, I just need to send emails to myself when I'm testing php scripts that use mail(). My solution right now is to comment the instances of mail() out until the site goes live, which is a pain.
I'm on a Windows Vista(64) box, I'm running Apache2, PHP5, and MySQL5. What (free) mailserver could I use that has a relatively quick setup.
I have two servers - one serves dynamic content (PHP) and the other serves static content (images and other files).
The PHP needs to have access to the images and files on the other server so at the moment I execute SSHFS manually to mount a directory containing the contents of the remote server. Permissions are set up so PHP can access and modify the images and files as if they're local files.
This works fine until the server needs restarting or network problems occur. I'd like to rectify this by using an daemon auto-mounter to make sure the directory is remounted if it ever becomes unmounted for any reason, including after a server reboot.
I understand that SSHFS is solid and secure, and both AFUSE and AutoFS offer suitable auto-mounting functionality, but I can't find any solid information on how suitable AFUSE or AutoFS are for a production server - my main concern being whether it's going to cause some unforeseen security issues.
Is AFUSE or AutoFS suitable for a production server?
Noticed they have a High Availability version coming out soon and was wondering how dependable their products have been over time and how responsive their tech support are.

I'm currently running cPanel 11.15.0-RELEASE with Apache 2.0.16 with no problems.
I would love to get Apache 2.2 running so I can actually utilize Ruby on Rails.
How I do put a website of a client that is in production and give them access it to view it while preventing search engines from indexing it? I had the production site on a sub domain but search engines would inevitably index it. I could a no-index robot text but if people had the domain, they'd still find it. I want to just put it on my server and the client can login with a PW and view the status.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter several issues with our shared hosting provider, I have decided to recommend we move our site to a VPS solution.
We are a video/media production house and although our actual site does not demand many cpu/memory resources, we have a huge need for ample disk space and FAST data transfers up and down.
We are constantly uploading video files for client approval, receiving files from animators/designers/etc., delivering files to clients, etc. and need FAST and RELIABLE hosting to accomplish this.
I may end up using a content management system for the site itself, probably Drupal, but our actual web content is minimal. Most of our traffic takes place behind the scenes as data transfer.
I simply don't have the bandwith onsite to run my own server, so I would like to try the VPS route. I don't think we have money to budget for a dedicated server.
One last question. Do any VPS solutions offer a media streaming server for Flash streaming?
Working on bringing up a new site and was looking to solicit some feedback regarding the optimum way to maintain build/production integrity.
I currently use FileZilla FTP client, set file override to trigger on size and do a bulk upload of the entire site.
The problem is that I need to exclude certain files and directories like the image directory and the configure.php etc. every time I do an upload.
I have used Dreamweavers development/production sync features for a client site in the past and that was very good.
I was thinking about writing my own script to do the maintenance work, but thought I would ask if there is a better way.
How do you all maintain your production/development synchronization?
For learning purposes, I'd like to purchase a switch to network at least 4 servers. Based on your knowledge of switches and the ones you currently use in production, could you recommend some switches that, while initially for development use, could be transitioned to production?
I'd like a switch that specifically isn't meant for home use, because a big part of the reason for purchasing it is to get experience configuring, using, and troubleshooting a production-quality switch that has anywhere from 8-32 ports.
For those of you that actually network 32 devices together in production, do you have one mega 32-port switch, or multiple smaller (e.g. 8-port) switches? What setup, in your experience, have you determined to be ideal?
What criteria are very important to consider when purchasing a switch that, as a newbie to this area, I may not have otherwise considered? Most resources on this topic give pretty basic information, but don't highlight the real 'gotcha' areas.
Have run through a bunch of threads on mod_proxy race conditions, possible causes, and potential solutions.
What is the status? Is there a fix for this, maybe in 2.4.7?
On 2.4.3 in production we literally have 10K errors in the past 2 months along the lines of:
Code : AH00898: Error reading from remote server returned by...
Application server (JVM webapp) issues no errors at the time of mod_proxy error occurring. It seems then that mod_proxy is sporadically broken, which is horrible for end users accessing an otherwise rock solid production application.
I'm not sure if i posted this in the right place - but couldn't find a better place. Here is my problem.
I am converting my current site [URL] ... from one software to another. I am testing it on a temporary domain name [URL] .....
Once i finish testing i want to move the .co site to the .com site and i don't know the best way to do this.
An obvious way would be to move all of the files and databases to the .com site after first deleting all of the files at the .com site. I would also have to do a few tweaks to the software to make sure it's pointing to the .com and not .co where iI tested.
but this method seems clunky.
Is there a way to just point the .com to the .co when I'm ready to 'move' and therefore nothing would actually get 'moved'?? both the .com and .co are on the same VPS.
I installed XAMP and copied my entire site down and put it in htdocs. I can see the index page, but the page's links and css are broken.
My local site:
//localhost/libweb/
my production environment:
//sitename.edu
and the physical address on the box is:
f:inetpublibweb
The 2848's can be had at pretty good prices these days. Don't think I'll be needing any fancy features out of these guys aside from vlaning, spanning tree, port channeling and some other basic commodities -- all of which should be cake for this switch.
I was going to pickup some 2950's, but considering these are only ~600 each in most cases..might as well.
I want to create a testing environment that is a miniature replication of a full production environment for a web service. From what I understand I'll need three components:
1. A web server
2. PIX firewall
3. DB server
Is there anything else I'll need or anything else I should be mindful of? Looking forward to insight/feedback.
