Selling A 4 Socket Enterprise Server
Jun 3, 2007
I have a somewhat unusual question for a hosting forum, but it seems to fit here reasonably well. I figure that anyone who does colo would know about buying and selling servers.
Right now, I have a very high-end system, basically a Sun V40z:

It is fully configured with processors, memory, but only has a single hard drive currently. The system comes with a built in management processor and OS; from the console you can boot/restart the server, check which DIMMs or processors are working (or failed), etc. It has been barely used, and is in mint condition.
I'm thinking about selling it, because I'd prefer a smaller, more compact server.
Where do you guys go to sell servers? Based on listings here, the server seems to sell in the range of 20K, with a warranty of sorts (30 days):

Obviously, I can provide no warranty, but I have pretty much the same configuration.
It's meant to be a pretty high-end database server, and I just don't need this many horsepower.

We are interested to buy different C class IPs so we can host many related sites on the same server. Our hosting provider does not sell different C class IPs. I wanted to know if there is anyway to buy IP addresses from somewhere else, lets say from other hosting companies, or private providers, who would forward the IP to our server. Did you ever hear of such service?
Does any one want to offer us this serivce?

Is there anywhere where I can run a php socket server that is not a dedicated server.
I doubt that there is, but you never know maybe out there somewhere there is someone that allows this.

If you have a socket F m/b, does a socket 940 heatsink works nicely on a socket F m/b? I can fit the original socket 940 heatsink on a socket F m/b but I am not sure whether there are any cooling related problems?
According to the thermal design guide, it says:
Quote:
The heat sink, fan, mounting spring clip, and thermal interface material used for the AMD PIB thermal solution for socket F (1207) processors are the same as the heat sink, fan, mounting spring clip, and thermal interface material used for systems based on the socket 940 processor.
The plastic retention frame, made of 20% glass-filled Lexan, is a two-piece implementation rather than the single-piece frame used for socket 940. This change accommodates the larger foot-print of socket F (1207) processors.
[url]
So are they interchangeable?
I do have socket F heatsinks just to save the hassle of testing and breaking things.
The reason I am asking is that it is tough to find socket F heatsinks here, and there are some socket 940 HSF floating around so I might as well use socket 940 HSF when somehow the ones that I have are not working or I run out of socket F coolers.

experienced people in Windows 2003 Server edition then me.
Now working for this client of mine seems they have much more problems then just a single hard drive issues as posted in another post.
Now they also have a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition on their server, which is activated but their Product Key fails every time they try getting an update like SP1, etc...
Now, I'm guessing it's because their product key isn't the original or fake as they never purchased Windows 2003 but the tech they fired installed it any ways and got it working.
So I went out and purchased an Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (OEM Version) as it's cheaper and I had to build a system recently so that worked out pretty well.
Anyways, using all of the tips on the internet to disable or deactivate windows worked well but when using the Activation Wizard and entering the new product key, it just comes back to the product key area again. So I've called Microsoft and the guy on the phone wasnt able to help me nor activate the windows.
Question:
Does anyone here have experience with Windows 2003 Server and would know why this is happening or know a fix?
Do I have to reinstall the OS?
If reinstalling, can I do it the same way as Windows XP that you select to install a new operating system, then select the partition, it detects the operating system on there and replaces the OS files only with the new ones but leaves everything in the same state, does something like this work or is available in Windows 2003 Server?

I'm in an environment where we have hundreds of users uploading content to a web site.
With the current system, someone could potentially run a command that would wipe out hundreds of files (and it has recently happened). We are currently looking at ways to improve security and prevent "accidents" by separating the public server into to parts.
A public server and a quality assurance server. Everyone would have access to the QA server, and the QA server would upload all changes to production.
I personally see the benefit, but don't see the problem being completely solved. Does anyone have any advice on this or link to articles or books that might help to set up a secure web server structure?

i developed a socket application to recive data from port.this application recvng data from a unit through port no 4444(Vehicle Tracking unit). this application recvng data and evrything is ok....but some times no anydata is coming in to this application.for eg:if application recves data 2 days after that 2 days it will recve one or two data only....again after 2 days it will recve all data correcly....that means lot of missing data we have....my question is whether this missing data is bse of my socket application or unit?
The manufacturing company telling us unit is sending the data continuiously..but some times this socket application is not recvng data in 2 days interval....i dont know how to solve this issue....is any other setting is required in server to recve data continuously....
i think socket application 100% is ok...unit maufactures telling unit also sending data continuously...then where the problem is???can anybdy share ur idea about this?

I'm running Apache 2.2 on Windows 7. I'm a casual user of the Apache server, and the server I'm running is only used to develop a Silverlight application on the local machine, nothing more. The following problem is apparently a non-systematic error (sometimes the server can startup, sometimes it cannot. If it cannot, it sometimes can after a reboot (a service startup race condition?))
I get error when starting the server: "The requested operation has failed!"
When I run "http.exe" from a command prompt I get:
Quote:
httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 10.0.0.100 for ServerName
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. :
make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
No listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
It does not write anything in the "error.log". It cannot? why? rights? but it could yesterday! anything changed from yesterday, no nothing!
I have tried to start the server many times today, and it has not written anything in error.log. Looking in the log there are many entries from yesterday, when the server probably worked!?
Okay there most be something using port 80 then!
Output from "netstat -o -n -a | findstr :80" is nothing! netstat says there is nothing listening on port 80.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 Express, and "Reporting Service" would be a prime candidate for listening on port 80, but netstat says it is not!
I'm using the ZoneAlarm firewall (the Apache server has been given full trust and permissions), and it has worked previously, I belive it cannot be the problem.
I'm using Avast anti-virus, but everything is disabled in it, and I'm only using it to run a virus check from time to time.
(I don't think it has anything to do with the "fully qualified domain name", because the setting it is complaining about has always been the same, also when the server is actually working, from time to time)

i'm thinking of upgrading my server....
I really do not want to signup with 1&1 after the stories i have heard...
However they are offering:
* Dual Core AMD
Opteron 1218
* 4 GB DDR RAM
* 400 GB (2X SATA drives in RAID 1 configuration)
* 400 GB FTP backup
* 4,000 GB monthly
transfer volume
$299/month.. .seems decent.. I would be managing it myself and would not need to speak to support....

Does anyone sell (lease/rent etc) individual Blades as dedicated servers? I'm planning to branch into more rack dense colo services and wondered what the WHT opinion on this matter is.
The way I see it, blades offer more redundancy, quicker provisioning and replacement in cases of failure, and lower costs, all of which would be passed to the customers.
I would of course fully disclose the fact that they are blades, just wondering if it would matter to any buyers..

If you sell a site with a database, what happens with the hosting? Does the buyer keep the same hosting or do they get their own and transfer the site?

I update the corporate website for my company. Our server is IIS and when I need a 301, I have to send a request to IT to do it, as our pages are static .html and .shtml (SSI) and using javascript redirects is not ideal for SEO.
A redesign we're going to be deploying, will include the shuffling of several pages/directories and redirecting of quite a few URL's. This fact alone seems to provide a good argument convincing IT that this is a good idea. From what I've read here and elsewhere, heliontech's solution seems to be the way to go.
Since this is 3rd party, I'm looking to have further leverage to explain my case on behalf of using this. Are there benchmarks and data that support the reliability of this method versus the straight MS stuff?
Also, I'm not real tech savvy on the server end, but I was told that our corporate site and application sites may reside on the same box and that applying the ISAPI rewrite would affect those as well. This would obviously make it a "no sell" with my IT colleagues.
Would sites residing on the same server be globally affected by the ISAPI? If so, is there a way to circumvent this and just set the ISAPI for the one site?

I am doing some part-time work for a small web design company that is hoping to get some extra revenue by selling hosting to its customers after it designs the sites for them.
They wanted to know what I thought about it, and so far I've said that it seems like getting a dedicated server (from a larger provider) for about $200/month would be a good fit. If they charged $20/month then they'd make it up after only about 10 customers, and they have many more than that. And with a dedicated server they could put a lot more than 10 accounts on the site.
The thing they're worried about is having to actually administer all those accounts. The sense is that their clients are pretty low maintenance, but if you give one malicious user an FTP account into the server, they are (understandably) worried about that person's ability to affect the entire server.
The dedicated server provider I have in mind provides WHM/cPanel for a relatively small fee, and my thought is that this could address that problem.
So (having only used WHM/cPanel in passing myself), what I'm wondering is, is this the sort of thing where they could give users access simply by giving their customers a cPanel account, and not worry too much about security or configuration (keeping in mind that the dedicated host also has security people working)?

Ipower - blatant over selling, trying to kick me off with fake TOS
I am currently being ignored on live chat with Ipower.
They issued me with possibly the stupidest TOS violation imaginable. They claimed that I am using my web space for storing files which is not allowed - it must be site content. The links to the files are public on the site. They have admitted, actually admitted, that the TOS is fake. Yet they have just suspended my directories.
The real reason is because they are over selling disk space. Our contract gives me 2 Tb and I am daring to use 25% of that space. They have told me - straight out - they want me off their server because I am using too much of what I paid for.
Why do web hosts like Ipower believe that they can just ignore the law like this? It is false advertising, fraud and breach of contract. They have expressed their contempt for the law in plain English. What is it with these people? Why must I sue them to have this blatantly stupid matter resolved?

I am working on doing some various upgrades to my workstation computer. I got it back in Nov and have been adding to it every since. The motherboard was bad when I first got it so I had to buy a new one. I already had an athlon 5600 so I figured I would get the mobo for that. Upon advice from various people I got the abit kn9 sli, for socket am2 940 processors and nvidia nforce 570 sli mcp
I am wanting to upgrade the processor now but I havent really found much info on what would be the highest level processor I could drop in. I know the phenoms dont work and some have told me that the athlon 6400 would be the biggest i could drop in but that isnt much more then I have now so would be no point.
So basically I was posting to see if anyone knew the best processor I could drop in this or the best socket am2 940 processor there is

This is on a Debian VPS with Apache installed. I figured this forum would be more appropriate because I think this is an OS level issue. I'm running a basic php client / php server. The php script is requested by the web browser and connects to the php server on the backend. However, if I connect more than a few times by clicking refresh I get this:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:1240 (Unknown error) in /home/www/client_connect.php on line 3
error opening fp
It should also be noted that I've gotten this same error when I try to do over 20 simultaneous connections with stream_sock_client() running from the command-line (non-root). Or when I try to connect to my backend from my frontend.
Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to xx.xxx.xx.xxx:1838 (Unknown error) in /home/adam/server/test.php on line 488
