Vpopmail Installation On Centos 5 Dedicated Server
Apr 24, 2009We like to create the mail accounts through php scripts in mywebsite.com website. So we request you to setup the Qmail with Vpopmail server in our server. As we have the following packages are already installed.
1. Qmail
2. Courier POP/IMAP
3. Horde Webmail client
providers who install the vpopmail in the our server and configure these four packages to create the mail accounts via php script. So that we can use vaddsuer command in php to create the mail ids and also imap_open commands to access the mails.
We will take the decision sooner since we need to live the website shortly.
Our server is configured by plesk control panel.

RedHat Hosting Program
Mar 28, 2008Does anyone know how to sign up for the RedHat hosting program where you have to pay monthly for the licenses as opposed to yearly?
I called their support number but that guy asked me to sign up online for the Yearly license. But I know a lot of dedicated server companies have a monthly commitment.
Can anyone recommend their sales rep to me who knows exactly what I'm talking about? You can PM me their details if you want.

May 12, 2014I have been trying to identify why mi server has high load cpu, suddenly CPU load suddenly jumps, from 1 to 40 and until 110
If I restart mysqld and apache, the cpu gets back to normal, until this happen again
My server is
GenuineIntel, Intel(R)Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz
VersionParallels Plesk Panel v11.0.9_build110120608.16 os_CentOS 6
CentOS 6.4 (Final)
CentOS 6 x64 Processor: Intel Core i5 - 3.10 GH
I already installed FAIL2BAN and DDOS DEFLATE without lock. I have CloudFlare Enabled.
When there is a high CPU load, I have checked netstats, and I don't identify many ips connected, so I think it could be an internet script (or virus).
I will paste the result of
ps fax
command, in a moment of high cpu load
RedHat's Global File System
Apr 25, 2009Is anyone here running GFS? The responsibility of managing a small cluster of them is about to fall into my lap, and the only documentation I can find is on Wikipedia, which is troubling. I've got the man pages, but I was hoping for more of a document outlining how it works.
Why would lock_dlm2 or gfs_scand take up close to 100% CPU with minimal traffic on the machine, for example? What do those do? How can I tune it to not do that?
I'm not so much looking for specific answers here about tuning, but am more curious about where I should be looking for documentation. I find it hard to believe that there is none?
Hitting Connections Per Second Limit Of RedHat EL
Jun 11, 2009I have a powerful 8 core 8gb ram web server with scsi raid drives running RedHat EL 4. This server handles 2,000 - 3,000 HTTP requests per second via Litespeed httpd without strain (over 60%+ CPU idle time during peak load, under 1% IO wait). As the traffic volume continues to increase I've encountered a strange problem, the symptoms of which are as follows:
- About 1/4 or 1/3 of new connections are not answered by the server - they time out.
- All connections that are answered have exactly 3 seconds added to the time it takes to establish connection with the server (can be seen as "Connecting to ..." phase in FireFox). HTTP response times were tested by Pingdom from multiple locations all over the world.
- The problem is either "on" or "off", it is not gradual.
- Server ping is unaffected during the problem - no delay and no packet drops.
- The problem does not happen during off-peak hours of the day.
If litespeed httpd settings are tweaked to keep as many connections as possible in keepalive state for as long as possible, the problem is avoided, while tens of thousands of connections are kept in keepalive state.
Possible causes that were tested and eliminated: PHP/MySQL load (problem applies to static files exactly the same), CPU / IO / RAM, network uplink, hardware firewall, DNS.
This makes me think that there is some kind of bottleneck of how many NEW connections per second the server can accept. By maxing out keepalive quantity and duration I'm reducing the number of new connections per second. This is a temporary fix that will only work up to a certain point.
After investigation, litespeed staff verified that my litespeed configuration was correct and after some testing said that nothing in litespeed was responsible for this limiting factor. Litespeed process uses relatively little CPU and can definitely handle more volume.
Following sysctl.conf values were increased substantially to see if that will make a difference: tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_max_tw_buckets, tcp_max_orphans, netdev_max_backlog, somaxconn, file-max. This didn't produce any results. Disabling syncookies didn't help either. dmesg doesn't have any notices of limits being hit or throttles being applied.
Litespeed staff suggests that likely some limit in linux kernel is being reached. The strange 3 second delay does seem like an "intelligent" DDOS protection strategy of some sort. Perhaps this is some kind of kernel level DDOS protection?

Time For A Dedicated? And Opinions On Future Hosting Dedicated Servers?
Mar 26, 2009Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?
Dedicated With Cpanel Migration From Shared To Dedicated
Sep 8, 2008I have an account that is going from a shared hosting account to a dedicated with theplanet and I want to transfer it. Concerns I have is that the site is using an SSL. What things do I need to watch out for when transferring. Since I don't have root access I will have to do this transfer with the account function, correct?
This site has a database and SSL, so I thought it would hopefully be easier to use the cpanel account migration tool

Oct 17, 2009linux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!
