I have a client which run an active CMS and the server is utilizing the swap space at the moment. It is running on 6GB memory and a Xeon processor now. Is there anything that I could do before going for hardware upgrade? The apache and mysql keep exhausting the memory during peak hours.
I am planning to set up a VPN server for a group of about 4 people who will use it as an "internet proxy" for *all* their internet connectivity. (They live in a country where internet activity is severely restricted (and monitored), and I think a VPN would be a good solution for them.)
However, I have no idea what kind of processing power or system resources are needed for this kind of situation. Is a simple VPS ok? How much memory would be good? How about server speed?
The server will be linux (probably CentOS) and will use OpenVPN.
I'm thinking that there probably doesn't need to be a whole lot of raw CPU power or RAM, but maybe I'm wrong?
Currently we are running some equipment on a 208v 30amp circuit and using APC step down transformers to take it to 110v.
All the servers running on that circuit are Dell PE1950's so they are pretty new. There is also a newer dell switch and a Cisco Pix 515E on there.
I am getting rid of the step down transformers and everything that I have read says that all the PSU's are auto switching and there will be no problem with them running off of straight 208v power without any step down taking place.
do dual power supplies use more power than a single supply?
E.g. Say I have a server than uses two amps, powered by a single power supply. Now if I switch to a dual supply (and say each supply has the same efficiency rating as the single), does my server use more power? How much more?
My simple view of this is that it probably does, but maybe not much. The second power supply consumes some power itself, but since its not under load, it doesn't consume much. Therefore, my server with redundant supplies might use 2.1A or 2.2A.
I used a script to block some unwanted countries from accessing my site. In total I had about 3000 lines with ipranges. Now I just went ahead and put this on one of the servers, one that I really don't need the traffic on. But I am wondering what kind of affect this may have on the speeds. Will it really affect it more then a few ms? And anything else I should maybe worry about? Except maybe the loading time at reboots.
im running centos and have a fairly high-end server. yet my services seem to be running a bit sluggish. is there a way to differntiate if its the server or the connection?
using free -m -t im only using half of my ram
(i dont know the command to check how much of my processors im using). im going to assume that that is also 50% or below. if any one has this command please let me know. if its not either of those im guessing its either bad routing be bounced everywhere, or some more localize like datacenter issue, bad router or something.
I have a hosting provider who cannot provide enough ram to run my one time PHP script (gallery2) (and has a automatic background program kill my task)
So I would like to use processing and ram outside of that server.. via one of my other web servers.. (Dual 1 Ghz, 1 gb of ram) the thing is that the servers got plenty of power but not as much space..
So the ideal solution.. would be to utilize it's power while having it access the hard drive/data remotely and processing it remotely... using the internet/ssh to do this..
I've just set up HTTPS on Apache (CentOS). However if I try to access the HTTPS site I just get prompted with the save as dialog to download either the .php file or .html. How do I get it to show (and process) it instead, like when accessing normally (non-ssl).
I work for an academic department which utilizes one web server, and has few issues with processing time and/or speed during the year. However, there is one point during the year when there is a need for a significant number of processing transactions, which opens all at once at a certain time on a certain day for everyone, that the web server cannot handle and is currently not occurring.
I need to find a service that can handle this. Basically, we would just need to insert info into a database (or whatever input form works) and then later export that data into a text file to be inserted by us at a later time. This is not credit card processing, which is why I'm posting. However, this would need to be secure. We only need the use of the servers and a database.
We have Detected server and we use windows server 32 bit , and we are using this server To Encode Video From Avi To Mp4 , But the Problem is we can not get any avi files to play , we Reload the OS and Install it again and We install all the Codec Windows Need But we steel can not Get this video work , its really strange ,
I am having the error in all the cpanel of the server when i contactected the cpanel they asked to change the permission of the all the domains using the bash command can one can help in running the commands so that all the permission changes properly ....
We have a problem with our plesk servers. I executed "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all" and now the plesk interface shows an error message:
I found out that all domain configs were generated correctly, but the psa database shows an error (select * from Configurations where status = 'error'; ) for file /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf.
I got a dedicated box recently and have made quite a few changes some of which I learnt about while making them. While this may sound like a silly thing to do I think it's a great learning curve.
I've come across an issue that I cannot find a fix for it is

Using Apache 2 on Linux, I suffer frequently this error message: ------- An error occurred while processing your request. Reference #67.c7ec0f50.1295581330.24f1cb25 ----------
This is a blank page with the message.
Any similar experience?
Does it someting to do with Akamai service? (My customer uses Akamai cache service)
I just signed my agreement for 2 cabinets at Internap's Atlanta CoLo. For now, I will just have 1 120V 20A circuit in each cabinet.
At my office's server room we currently have 8 circuits I am powering my 2 racks from. I am just curious how many servers you can typically put on a 20A circuit. I am also considering adding two additional power feeds (1 more for each cabinet) to have truly redundant power for my dual power supplies.
I am hoping that 20A is plenty for my needs. I have around 20 HP and Dell systems. Mostly HP DL380s and Dell PE2950s.
Any ideas? I am splitting them in half, only filling up a half of each cabinet for now, as we are growing quickly and I wanted to overguy space so I would not be forced to add another cabinet later and have it end up somewhere else in the DC.
