We have been looking at utilizing something like nocmonkey or similar to make OS reinstalls easier on our servers. My real need is to be able to do this remotely if and when I can't have someone onsite do this to help speed up turning up a server where a client has cancelled, and we are reinstalling CentOS to turn up to new client.
I'm almost certain there is no quick and easy way to do a OS reinstall remotely without utilizing something like NOCmonkey, correct?
I do have KVM/IP so I was curious if there is a way remotely to do this that is possible because of the KVM/IP?
manually install Windows 2003 std to a linux box ( CentOS 5.2 to be exact). The reason is my provider does not provide Windows or custom OS installation.
I have been trying to run mozilla and/or firefox commands on my centOS linux box for the last 2 days but I just cant figure it out. I nstalled XVFB which is a virtual X environment but when ever I issue a mozilla command such as mozilla -width 1024 it always outputs the same error: (mozilla-bin:32001): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I dont know what the problem is or what im missing..what I need to install etc...can anyone shine some light on this?
Godaddy provides some quick-install apps on Hosting manage page, I got WordPress installed and found the robots.txt file disallows any search engines, it reads:
User-agent: * Disallow: /
you need to modify the file manually, does anyone have the problem? see more at http://rhineblog.com/2009/02/wordpress-installed-by-godaddy-disallows-search-engine-robots.html
Is there any VPS Provider that does Managed Hosting but also as part of that managed service, installs 3rd party scripts whenever needed?
I have been using Future Hosting and they were providing this for me but have been told today that they have changed their policy and will no longer install 3rd Party scripts.
I have windows servers that I'll be co-locating very soon. I have purchased a Dell 2161ds-2 and an APC remote boot power strip. Could someone please tell me the best way to secure remote access to these products. Do I put them on public IP's and allow them through the firewall or do I put them behind the firewall and access them after I authenticate through the firewall.
I've made a how to, based on my personal knowledge about upgrading a CentOS 3, RedHat 9, or 8?, Fedora Core, and maybe others, to the new CentOS 4.5 OS. (or CentOS 4.x)

Please post, comments, questions, etc. here. I've myself upgraded many servers this way, (even, tonight, I upgraded another, so I finally decided to do this with all my notes)
I am looking for options to use for remote KVM. I have great local KVM that are multi user that are paid for. I need to get something that works well with them for remote access. I have tried the Belkin remote boxes and the scree quality was bad and was not happy with it.
I've just noticed that many people may have a free remote cron facility without realising it.
If you have any domains registered with Godaddy, you get free web space that includes a cron facility. It only runs every half hour, but you could set six jobs at 5 min intervals to get an effective 5-minute poll, which is good enough for many purposes. You could use it to check uptime on another site, for example. Has anyone tried this?
I've seen this mentioned before, that you can run SQL on a separate server and lot of people do it for SQL heavy applications.
Only thing I wonder, how well does it work bandwidth wise? Is there a noticeable slowdown in query speed? What about bandwidth cost, does it use a lot, enough to run over a typical dedicated server monthly limit?
Also what about security, are queries/username/password sent out in clear text?
I just want to know what is the best way to run a hosting solution remotely. I.E have OS re-installed without having someone to do this for us in the DC for example? I've heard KVM over IP but unsure to where that would lead us.
Is there a way to have remote assitance like XP has but on 2003 server? I need this so I can have someone log in and perform a job for me and need to see it done live.
I have a linux dedicated server and use BMU (BackMeUp) for create cpanel full backup. But this cant create remote backup for me. BMU use "ncftp" for this. and i see following error about this problem:
Time: Fri May 16 03:38:17 2008
The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:
/usr/local/bin/ncftp: FAILED So, im install "ncftp" manually, but issue not resolved and i havent remote ftp backup too!
