Server Setup
Feb 28, 2008
I installed Windows Server 2003 on a spare computer, Pentium 4 2.00GHz 760 MB of Ram. I have been looking allover google on how to setup a DNS server so that I can run my Clothing Companies website from home. Are there any guides that can help me from setting up DNS server to having the website appear online? I have been trying to set up this server for about a week now and still no luck. when I ping 68.109.88.131 it comes back successful and when I enter that in, in a url, the "Under Construction" page comes up.

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.

As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

I've registered a new domain name and 'hired' a Virtual Private Server (not managed) to host it. I know 'some things' in php and web design but I'm newbie with configuring servers (especially remotely on a Linux server.... )...
This is what I've done so far :
1. registered domain name at namecheap.com and set up DNS there (my VPS server names)
2. I've installed Linux Ubuntu 8.04 on my VPS
3. I've downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.1 on my VPS
I've registered my domain name yesterday and it is still 'invisible' when I type in the address... BUT when I type in my VPS's IP address, the XAMPP welcome screen appears (MySql isn't running though...).
I know this is a child's play for a Linux expert, please if someone knows a good tutorial, step-by-step guide on how do I set up everything to work properly....

if I could assist his small company in setting up an FTP server. What they are looking to do is provide a way for people to login and access files. They can either bring down the files that are left for them or they can upload files. Is setting up an FTP server difficult? Is it time consuming? Can you customize it so that certain files can only be seen for specific usernames?

We had the server management company setup name servers on the new server but SSH shows different results from the old versus new server. Here is the output:
Old Server:
root@host [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips
xx.xx.xxx.xx1=ns1.domain.com
xx.xx.xxx.xx2=ns2.domain.com
xx.xx.xxx.xx3=0
xx.xx.xxx.xx4=0
New Server:
root@www1 [~]# cat /etc/nameserverips
xx.xx.xx.x=0
They do not seem to match. Can someone provide some instructions as to how we can check within WHM to make sure name servers are setup corretly?

So when you setup a new server, what should I do. I will only be running 1 site for now (vbulletin forum site), should I just install Apache, MySQL, Php, setup the DNS, etc.
Or Should I just Install Plesk, and let that do it.
Most Likely will just be running a 2.53Ghz Core2Duo, 4GB 250GB. I have setup a webserver before just basically though but think I could manage. I think that Plesk would make it easier but would also eat up resources, on the other hand though not having it would use less resources but require more configuration.

I want to setup a dedicated within my home based business, what is the easiest and cheapest way to do this, I understand I would need a static Ip address from my Internet provider (is that right?) also Do i need a spare PC to do this or can I run my main PC and still be able to run it when it's switched off?
The reason I want to learn how to do this is:
1. Save on fee's every month
2. Provide more services at low cost to clients
3. Learn more about the hosting business.

I've been doing some research and thought why not split the server into a bunch of virtual servers so I can offer both windows and linux hosting.
What is the best option for doing this?
I've come across VMware Server but also noticed centOS has "Virtualization provided by the Xen hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager"
Assuming I go with splitting the server up, do I create a virtual centOS server and install cPanel on that one or on the main install?
Totally new to virtualization.

I own a file hosting and delivery site, and am looking for new/better way (that involves the use of a large storage array, such as the Dell PowerVault MD1000) to store and serve user files. I currently have many separate file servers that store and serve user files, and each server has roughly the following specs:
Quad core processor
4-8GB RAM
8x750GB RAID-10
I know with the large storage array, I will need front-end servers to retrieve files from it, but wasn't really sure how this works. Also, would this new method be more optimal/cost-effective than my current method (I probably think the answer is yes).

I have started to move my websites over to my UK Colocation But would like a little guidence on what the best solution would be.
I would like to build up a Server Cluster that will handle all of my sites really and also have redundancy, so If 1 server goes down the other Web/SQL/Whatever server will be used instead.
I have websites ranging from large forums to streaming & download websites.
Should I got for a setup for example:
X Web Servers + X Database Servers
Connected to X Storage (see link below)
Connecting the Web Servers in something like a a round robin config or use a Load Balancer / Other
OR Should I setup multiple:
Web Server + Database Server + Media Server
OR another config?
Below are my current setups
Current UK Setup (Colocation)
Web Server
Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 1
Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 1 (just ordered)
SQL Server
Quad Core, 4GB Ram, 250gb HDD Raid 10
Storage Server
HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s 1TB (just Ordered)
Link: [url]
Current US Setup (Dedicated Servers)
Web Server
Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD
SQL Server
Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD
Media Server
Quad Core x2, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD

if anyone would be able to offer suggestions for setting up a scalable server setup. Here's the situation.
I currently have one web server in a LAMP environment. This server houses both the application and the database.
I would like to setup something that provides more redundancy, and offers the ability to scale as needbe.
It seems there are quite a few options, here's what I am currently aware of.
1) Multiple servers, each house a copy of the database and the applications/files
2) Separate application server and database servers. For sake of redundancy, there would be two load balanced application servers and two clustered database servers.
Currently, with my setup of 1 server, the load is not bad, so it's really for redundancy than anything else, the bonus however would be a setup that is relatively easy to scale as the load became more testing.

We have 2 harddrives on the server and a private network on the back end with limited storage space. Hard drives are SATA II (not in raid). As far as we know, 2nd harddrive is not used for anything yet.
We are new at this and any configuration suggestions would be helpful. What kind of a backup setup would you recommend? What kind of schema ie. full backups, incremental, data backup only, public_html backups?
