SSHFS/FUSE + AFUSE Or AutoFS On A Production Server
Jan 30, 2008
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?

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'm currently with ServInt.net which has been a great VPS provider so far but I seem to have hit a wall. I'm not sure if the wall is because of the current host or because I just don't know what can or cannot be done on a VPS.
I want to run the module fuse and dkms-fuse so that I can run jungle disk and mount my s3 bucket to a folder on the server. Then I would be able to access it via FTP, etc.
Apparently you can't install kernel level modules on a VPS. Now, I don't know much about linux but when I tell my hosting provider: 1) This is what I want to do 2) How much will it cost? I expect an answer the lines out what my options are to achieve my goal, which seems to be impossible with ServInt.net.

how to use sshfs. I am trying to install it but I need to install FUSE first and I keep getting errors.
Code:
=== configuring in kernel (/root/fuse-2.6.5/kernel)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

I'm trying to run sshfs on my VPS but it seems to require the fuse module compiled on kernel. I already asked my host but they said that they won't change the kernel.
Is there an alternative to sshfs? I really need something to mount an external server.

I've been debating this in my head in that we have a number of servers that need to mount a remote server (for backups actually) and debating about the best way of doing it. Traditionally I would use NFS but this is going to have to run over the public internet and NFS is insecure at the best of times.
Now I've got root on all the servers and I was thinking of using sshfs via fuse but just wondered if anyone had any input of the stability of it or any other way.
R1Soft wouldn't work in this method as the backups are created by the user

Has anyone successfully gotten Apache 2.2 and cPanel 11 running in production? I would love to have this setup.
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.

After 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:

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.

I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

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??

I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License
I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…
---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!
An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:
• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:
Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------
So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.
Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.
Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.

I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.

I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements:
Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20)
10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do
500MHz CPU is all cool
512MB or more RAM
5GB diskspace is enough
Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms)
Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.
