MySQL On A Separate Server

Oct 12, 2007

I have a server with lots of sites and about a hundred MySQl apps. All of them are configured to talk to localhost and work fine. But I'm trying to move the MySQL off to a separate box to increase performance.

So since everything was configured to localhost my idea was rather than change that what I would do is set up an SSH tunnel to the new server running MySQL. Seems like that should work, but it doesn't.

I set everything up on the new computer. I shut down mysql copied all the files over, started MySQL on the new server. Everything tested fine.

Then I established the ssh tunnel and everything looks good, but the applications just didn't see it. I did some experiments and if I set it to 127.0.0.2 it works, but not on 127.0.0.1.

Big Site Needs Separate Server For Mysql

Apr 8, 2009

my vbulletin site has been growing significantly and the server has crashed many times due to the high loads. My server guys tell me that mysql is hitting loads of 30 (not sure what that means) and i need to get another server for mysql alone.

They recommend that I shld go for raid-5 for the mysql server due to performance and redundancy. Thus if i was to upgrade now, I shld just go straight for a raid-5. Is that true?

Separate Email Server Routing

Feb 26, 2007

We have a VPS service with ServInt to host only our website (www.ourdomain.com for example) and not our email - the nameservers are also not on our VPS. This all works great but it means that any emails which are sent from our VPS to xxx@ourdomain.com are getting routed to the VPS and not the email server and so are being dropped.

Is there a way around this because ServInt support seem to be stumped because they have suggested the only way to fix it is to setup nameservers on the VPS instead of where they are now?

Server Mirroring To Create Separate DNS Locations

Nov 4, 2009

If anyone can help me in doing this, I'd appreciate it. I searched to see if anyone had already done this, but I didn't find anything so my apologies if this has been answered before.

Here's what I have: 1 dedicated server with a static ip of course and currently, I run all my sites off of this machine as well as my few clients. The server is running CentOS and Apache.

What I want to do is build a new server at my house/office and create a secondary webserver that mirrors my current setup. I've heard about using Rsync to do this, but I want to know if it'll allow for the balancing effect I'm looking for.

Rather than use this 2nd server as a backup only, I want also use it for dns resolution. Right now, all my sites are using two nameservers (NS1.2D.NET and NS2.2D.NET), but they both point to the same IP address at the same location. I want NS2.2D.NET to point to this 2nd server for redundancy (in case the other location goes down) and also for balancing (to spread traffic over two servers instead of just one).

Eventually what I'm going to do is move all my clients and websites to one location again, but my own location so I can save the expenses of dedicated hosting off-site. However, I want to use this setup as a test to see if my own location will be able to handle the traffic and such.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Using Remote Database Server On Separate Installs?

Nov 24, 2014

Is it possible to use a remote database server on two or more Plesk installations without issue?

Plesk A (192.168.1.1):

Local MySQL (default)
Remote A MySQL (192.168.1.5)
Plesk B (192.168.1.2):

Local MySQL (default)
Remote A MySQL (192.168.1.5)

... etc etc. Is that possible? It'll allow me to create databases on the remote server from both/all the Plesk servers without conflict?

Static Server + Forum Cluster

Oct 23, 2008

my current servers are part of this mess with Alphared:
[url]

what I'm looking for:

static content main server:
average cpu, average ram
15-20gb data tops, but could use a fast drive
need about 6tb/m of higher quality bandwidth
2 machine cluster for forums

only thing on this will be vBulletin forums.
current database is about 6gb (~7 million posts)
averaging about 800 members active per 15 mins
this isn't for a business, so it all comes out of my pocket. however, after the $#@! with Alphared I do recognize the importance of a good host and I am willing to put money toward that as needed. however, my goal is in the $600-$800/m range for everything.
is that price range doable? if not, what is a reasonable price for what I'm asking? and can anyone recommend reliable hosts (especially one that can correctly setup the cluster for the forums).

Optimizing Dedicated Server With MYSQL And Busy Forum

May 11, 2009

Are there any services where an ADMIN can monitor DB usage on system and make some recommendations or even find SQL that is poorly written ...

I have a DUAL harpertown, 10GB RAM, and RAID

I have a typical, gallery, busy VB forum, and video script...

THe site traffic has not increased much but my Memory keeps getting chewed up... i already did some tuning that VBULLLETIN suggested... but the memory still goes... i need a tool or someone to just monitor the server for a day and grab as much diagnostic info as possible..

I suspect that its a single query giving problems cuz i have some custom coded pages...

I don't want to split the DB and HTTP request on diff servers cuz the traffic that i get shouldn't warrant it... for now...

Separate Sites On Same VPS

Jan 30, 2008

I have been running 1 site on my VPS for some time, but there is still a lot of things I don't understand 100%. Now I want to add another site to the VPS, but keep the sites as separate as possible, and I have no idea how to accomplish this.

Lets say my first domain is football.com. This means I have these settings:

I got 3 IP's: x.x.x.1, x.x.x.2 and a new one x.x.x.9

My hostname is host.football.com (x.x.x.1)
My site is www(dot)football.com (x.x.x.1)
Nameserver NS1.football.com (x.x.x.1)
Nameserver NS2.football.com (x.x.x.2)
Reverse DNS on x.x.x.1 to host.football.com
Exim running on x.x.x.1


Lets say my second domain is water.com. It's no problem using WHM and run this site on x.x.x.9, but there is a lot of references to football.com (nameservers, hostname and probably emails).

Is there anyway to keep the sites separate? I'm thinking that I need to request 2 new IP's, run NS1.water.com and NS2.water.com on these. I don't know if I can get a host.water.com with reverse DNS, and I guess emails will still be from x.x.x.1.

2 Separate Servers (IIS & Apache)

Oct 14, 2009

I'm more of an application programming guy than network/internet guy so excuse any ignorance on my part.

I am currently using shared hosting on an IIS server.

I running SMF Forums and a business on the IIS server. I have a payment system that I've programmed tied into the MySQL SMF database. This payment system uses ASP.net. I'm a .Net programmer. SMF is also being currently ran on the IIS server, and it does ok.

I'm really wanting to start running my forums on a separate Unix Server.

So my question is, can i run my ASP.net scripts on my IIS server that access the MySQL database on a separate Apache server? The Apache server and IIS server would have different domains (I'm guessing that'd be required).

I think this is possible, but wondering what others think. All I should need to do is change some connection strings on my Web.config on my IIS server to point to the new SQL databases.

Using 2 Separate Network Cards

Nov 8, 2007

I am setting up an internal network for management only. So, assign an IP for the second NIC, and activate it, but it seems not working. I have tried this

#ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255
#ifconfig eth1 up

checking dmesg, it shows the NIC is up
# dmesg
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
tg3: eth1: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth1: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.

checking routing table seeing the 192.168.2.x routed through eth1
# route -e
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default reserve1.somename 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Repeat those steps for other boxes, but when pinging, all return errors

Get A Domain Name With Hosting, Or Separate

Feb 10, 2007

Before I went to register with GoDaddy, I looked back at some web hosts I was considering. Some real good ones include free domains. What are advantages to bundling a domain with the hosting package? Is setup usually quicker? What if, at the end of a yearly contract, I decide I want to host my site with a different company? I certainly hope domain names are transferrable around the expiration period.

Synchronizing And Balancing 2 Geo-separate Servers

Jul 16, 2008

I know this is not an awesome idea, but I'd like to try it. A friend and I want to share (home) servers. We both have fairly decent upload and we both have nice (dual core, 1GB RAM+) servers, so that's good. Another thing I'd like is failover for when one of our servers go down (I've got that part covered with my own DynDNS client). We're both running Windows servers.

Since I cant really use a load balancer in this situation, we'll be using round robin DNS. Now here's the questions:

How do we keep our MySQL servers synced?
Should I use rsync or something else for files?
How do we handle PHP sessions across servers?

If you don't think the load balancing thing will work out, I'd still like to do synchronization and failover. My friend is in another state by the way, we're not neighbors or anything so we can't just run some cables from one house to the other.

Anyone aware of a hosting company with all of their hardware in Canada who offers in their basic accounts the ability to host multiple domains without using sub-domains or sub-folders.

I want to host several domains with individual administration and security so that a bad script or hack of one wont affect the other domains.

Hoping to do it with a single account.

Anyone On Softlayer Using Separate Management Service

I found the page listing all of the 3rd party server management companies, but what I want to hear are successful marriages between Softlayer and the management company based on experiences of real users here.

Advantages Of Using A Separate Host For Images

Aug 6, 2008

I'm starting to see this, or maybe it's always existed, but it seems like bigger sites are hosting their images on external servers. I've even seen some sites use Flickr as the host for all of their images. I guess for Flickr that means you have a guarenteed image CMS, but I really don't see that as why Flickr was created.

I'm sure there are bandwidth advantages, and maybe that's the main reason. Is there a point where the traffic gets so high that moving images off site would improve load times and sever loads? Is it a worthwhile endeavor for smaller sites? I'm curious to see what the thoughts are on this trend.

CPanel- Separate Account For Subdomain

Nov 28, 2008

In an effort to install an SSL cert for a subdomain (secure.domain.com), I recreated my accounts in WHM. Account 1 has userA and domain domain.com, and Account 2 has userB and domain secure.domain.com. I think I have everything back to normal, but I want to get everything stable before testing the cert install.

My question is, when visiting cpanel.domain.com, to enter the cpanel for that account, I am able to login with both userA and userB credentials, and the same when logging in to cpanel.secure.domain.com. As stated, I have separate WHM accounts for the main domain and the secure subdomain, I have dedicated an IP address for the secure subdomain, and the main domain uses the share IP address, and also, there are separate DNS zones setup for the secure subdomain and the main domain.

How do I set it up so that only userA can login to cpanel.domain.com and only userB can login to cpanel.secure.domain.com? Or is this not an ideal setup, and if not, what would be the ideal setup here?

DNS On 2 Separate Servers, Control Panel On Another

May 18, 2007

I've setup two servers with Webmin on them. One is a master nameserver, and the other is a secondary nameserver.

I've setup a third server with DirectAdmin, and ofcourse, DA installs everything for you.
When I add a domain on DA.. it asks me to do all the DNS stuff there too.

Now, from what I understand, if I add a domain to a server, I host its DNS on that server too. Correct?

But then again, I've also seen many installations where the DNS servers are two completely different, even geographically, servers. And the main http/mail/db server(s) are different too.

Do I Need Separate Apache & Mysql Servers Etc

Mar 21, 2007

here's my current setup has my stuff running on 2 separate "self contained" servers (eg; each runs their own apache/php/mysql):

Main site/server:
content: mostly static content (no mysql, very little php). currently has about 4tb/m traffic. in the summer it could push up to 6tb/m
hardware: P4 2.8ghz. 1gb ram. this server has no problem handling the load. only problem is bandwidth (i have to get it off the current host)

Forums site/server:
content: running vBulletin. currently 400-500 peak (probably jump to 800 peak this summer) users active per 15 mins.
hardware: 64bit dual Opteron 242. 4gb ram. it's absolutely griding that to a halt at peak times. it acts like 4gb memery isn't enough (it will run fine then eat through most of the 4gb. grind to a halt, then recover) personally i think it was setup/configured wrong but i've had multiple people look at it and nobody can find anything wrong in the apache/mysql settings.

What I want to know:
what type of server setup should I start migrating to? should I keep both parts of the site separate? eg; main site on one server, forums on another server(s)?

what i've sorta been looking into is 3-server setup.
(server1) main apache/php server. probably on unmetered (honestly don't think i'll find anything else that offers high enough traffic). run the main site and the vB php from here
(server2) dedicated mysql 'read only' server (server3) dedicated mysql 'write only' server.

and have mysql read/write synced and have all 3 servers networked directly together. i have a friend running a single mysql driven site using this setup and it works really well for him.

is this overkill for me? should the current dual Opteron be able to handle the forums and i just need to hire someone smarter, or is there some other setup that would work better for me? i'm tight so i want to go cheap as possible, but I also realize i need room for summer traffic expansion that always hits us.
