i'm runing a plesk server... anyone knows a good/simple way to install a graphs system for analyze server numbers?
I have found Cacti and Cricket...
I think Cacti is easier to install but it's still complicated...
I would like to see graphs of load average, memory, but ALSO httpd connections, httpd average response, mysql threads, ...
Can you guys recommend a server by looking at the graphs below?
Connections „ CPU Usage „ Load Average
Memory Utilization „ Swap Memory „ Traffic
I'm trying to identify the right hardware for the job without going overkill with the specs, as the budget is limited.
I have ~50 megabits of data connectivity and about ~10 servers connected to it at any given time. I want to start monitoring BW stats at the switch level for each machine. What is needed to set this up A to Z
I know i need a switch that is capable of SNMP I believe. Anyone have any recommendations on which switch to purchase ( i am looking for a 12-24 port switch) Midrange on prices on what to expect.
Once i have the switch in place from there what needs to be done in order to start producing graphs on a per server basis?
I've never setup a bandwidth monitoring system before, as we've really only used the datacenter supplied MRTG, PRTG, or RTG graphs for our cabinets until now.
I'm curious what solutions different users out there use; why you use them; and what you like/dislike about those systems.
if you can dump the actual data used to make the graphs in munin, or are the graphs the only way to view the data?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMunin was running OK on my cPanel server until yesterday when the graphs stopped updating themselves. I attempted a "/usr/share/munin/munin-update --force-root" which did nothing. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled munin on the cPanel plugins screen and now its running but all the graphs are empty

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'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 need to move an SSL certificate from a cPanel server to a Plesk server.

We have one Cloud Server hardware node that exists only as the backup location for containers and VMs in Cloud Server/PVA (it hosts no virtual servers). Can it also serve as a Backup Server Node?
A related question, in my case, is whether we can configure a Backup Server Node to use a particular drive/mount/directory, as we can with PVA? I couldn't find any info in the docs about any settings at all for the Backup Server Node.
I've been getting so many warnings from my data center that there are active viruses on my server. These viruses get uploaded when user uploads data using FTP.

We are about to shift from linux server to plesk for some reasons given by our management.
I am interested to know that Plesk 8.X or 9.X comes with MS SQL edition in built? or we have to install that separately? This is for a hosting server so the server should have both MY SQL and MS SQL both, how to shift this in plesk, is it possible?
Also if we install plesk will it come with tomcat server? or not? some hosting clients need Java with tomcat?
I have a windows server with plesk 7.6 i want to install the new version of plesk 8.6, how can I do? I want my domain names (4) be working well with the new version of plesk. I don't know if I backup my domains, plesk 8.6 will recognize from 7.6.

do you have any ideas how can I keep my domain working after I install new plesk?
Can we enable different outgoing port in qmail? If anybody knows,

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am currently having a few technical difficulties with configuring my PLESK server to accept an A Record from another domain. Perhaps I have been going about this all wrong but I will explain what I am trying to do and how I have currently been trying to get it to work. Hopefully you might have a suggestion for me to try.
We currently run an On-Demand web design platform. This CMS can be completely rebranded for our Partners who can then sell this facility to their clients. There is only one installation of the code base but we need to give our partners a their own web address to access the cms.
For example:
cms.altstudio.com.au
cms.pcgraphicart.com.au
cms.pcgraphicart.com.au has been set up as a domain alias. The reason this is working is because the primary domain pcgraphicart.com.au is also hosted on this server.
So I thought if the partner has their domain delegated elsewhere then I could simply get them to create an A record for their chosen subdomain and point it to our IP address, then I could configure the domain alias again for their particular A record and hey presto. Unfortunately not so easy.
Here are two of the examples of what is happening
cms.newlight.com.au - their root domain is delegated elsewhere, but they have created an A-record for that subdomain and pointed it to 202.60.87.185. Now it reaches my server as I see a PLESK error page at that address.
At this stage I don't really know what to try to get PLESK to register that entry. I have created a domain alias for cms.newlight.com.au on the cms.altstudio.com.au account but it didn't pick things up.
Another example is cms.abconsulting.com.au
I recentely signed up for a dedicated server and paid for 10 domain plesk pack, and can setup everything with plesk for hosting just fine

I have been using MailEnable standard (free) edition for a few months and faced problems of such as mail server crashing every few days, users being disconnected while downloading mail via POP3 etc.

a better mail server to use with Plesk on Windows.
My server (using plesk 8.1 on windows 2003 server) has been compromised with some sort of rootkit and I'm investigating vulnerabilities. This server hosts some of my asp.net applications and I have to grant Modify Permission to IIS WP (iwam_plesk) user on Some subfolders (under Httpdocs folder for each domain). Is it a security problem? if yes, how else can I allow asp.net applications to write to, say, an Access db?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two servers, a plesk 11 installation and a plesk 12. Running Centos.
On the plesk 11, set up by others, I have a nameserver running NS1.xxxx.net & ns2.xxxx.net point to the IP of the server.
I want to create a nameserver on the plesk 12 -- can't see how to do this. Is there a nameserver setup function in plesk 12?
More advanced question:
The domain name xxx.net is hosted at 1&1 where I have put the IP of the plesk 11 server in the A records for ns1.xxxx.net and ns2.xxxx.net. I have pointed ns3.xxxx.net and ns4.xxx.net at the IP of the Plesk 12 server -- as I would like to use these addresses for consistency. If necessary, I'll use ns1/ns2.yyyy.net.
I have a VPS running Parallels Plesk 12.0.18 Update#36 and CentOS 6.6. I'll like to move (if it's possible uninstall complete) Apache and let Nginx to manage all the request coming from outside.

We have change IP from NS server in Plesk.Why can we force refresh named.conf (for all domains) ? Informations stay with old IP.We can force one domain when we change an information in the DNS and we validate. But Hown can we change all domains?

I am just wondering if Plesk 11 supports the ability to manager smartermail installed on a different server?
