Many gurus and seasoned IM'ers alike have said that you actually don't need any technical knowhow to set up your business. But no sooner have you started than you realize that it's not the case and you have to get up to speed very quickly.
Just a couple of questions here, if I may:
1. What advice would you give to someone who has just purchased a new "unlimited" domain and knows diddly squat about all these technical issues?
2. I was reading what someone else said about add-on domains vs using Apache to redirect the add-on domains.
- what is the best way to actually set up your site so that you can have 1 main domain and then a bunch of others?
-should you rather use redirects (whatever that means)?
-What is Apache?
3. What is WHM?
Your collective help would be invaluable....
I just want to be able to set the thing up correctly....
If I type google.com in my address bar, it forwards me to www.google.com. This is not happening for my website right now. I think its a good idea to do this, since then search engines will have only 1 main URL for the website to index.
My question is:
How do I implement this? I think this may involve mucking with CNAME settings...
1. Point me to an article you can validate as being accurate; or
2. Explain to me as much as you are willing to the following question:
How would someone setup a CDN to compete with companies like level3/softlayer/peer1 etc..? What kind of software is used? Is there special routing issues to address? I do understand you need *at least* 15-20 nodes before you can offer a "true CDN" and I do understand that they need to be in different locations on the POP's. How do you stream files over the CDN as well? Via RTMP?
to add a new domain name to my hosting account, when I put in the nameservers at namecheap, my new domain resolves to the wrong IP address.
When I contacted my host, they told me I need to contact namecheap and give them the IP address and my namservers names.
I have never had to do this before. Usually I just add a new domain in my WHM and everything works. Right now namecheap is using my hosting companies nameservers, when I try to switch to my name servers namecheap comes back with an error.
I added new zones in the WHM for my name servers, but nothing is working.
What do I need to do to get this working? I have one current domain name that is working and one that is not.
I have already one dedicated server which I use for shared hosting and for my companys site.
I have read something little about managing VPS and can say that I want to use OpenVZ for that but that's all of my knowledge.
1. Howto setup VPS box (openVZ)?
2. Do I need leave free space/resource for "management" or can I use all space/resource for clients. I have my companys site and stuff in different server (as you can read above).
3. VPS box security? Do I need to worrie about that?
4. If I want to offer multiple OS options for clients, is it possible and how that is done?
5. Is there any "VPS control panel" for clients? For reboot, shutdown, re-install OS and such actions?
I have a dedicated server (windows 2003) with FDC i am new to all this so i need some help trying to set up a ftp so i can conect to the server, how do i go about this? are there any tutorials on this? i have looked on google but no luck. Also i am in spain so is it possible to use the server as a proxy server so i can connect with my computer in Spain to the internet with a US IP?
I've just recieved my copy of Kevin Yanks book "build your own database driven website using php and mysql" and very excitedly installed msql and php last night. As i have IIS i installed that too. Everything so far seems to be going as plan.
But i'm only wanting to use IIS for testing. Since i'm a newbie i'm unsure on some secuity aspects. Is it possible to use IIS for testing only, that is, no possibility of anyone else using it to access my computer?
I initially wanted to set up a VPS because I want to build a web application. The first phase is to set up a development environment, testing environment and production server. For the development environment, I want to set up an SVN server for my code (one reason why I chose a vps instead of a shared server) as well as a bug tracking system. Each environment would be under subdomains, except the production server (development.domain.com, trac.domain.com, testing.domain.com).
My question is what is the best way to utilize my VPS for this type of environment? Should I create a client for each environment? Stick everything under my admin account? I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just want to make my system as organized as possible.
At the minimum, could someone point me in the direction of any resources?
My first post on here! I have just signed up with a VPS, and before I did so, i asked if IMAP was supported, and that was confirmed.
Now, when I try to get it to work, I am told by support that my current mails transport agent (mailEnable) does not support IMAP, and that I should elect not to use mailEnable and configure IMAP with the Microsoft Services.
Now, here I am lost. What do they mean, and how do i proceede Thank you for any input!
Just got a new dedicated box (Fedora 5/CPanel/WHM). I didn't realize I had to set up my own nameservers with it. Definitely not a subject I am well versed in. Anyone know where I can find out how to get started?
I've just bought a VPS with [url], and they only offer cPanel (of which costs extra money per month). so I decided to install Webmin, which I have never used before.
how I set up my DNS servers in Webmin? I'm completely lost here.
I have a bare minimal server which I want to move WHMCS over to. However, how do I setup e-mails so I can setill PIPE them into the system? The e-mail server would be hosted on the main server still.
I am interested in setting up my own server, more than anything just for the experience. I would like it to be a linux-based server and to be managed purly through the command line [i.e. no GUI].
Can anyone point me towards any goods book/resources for learning this? From what I read I believe that sitepoints own book does not cover any command line stuff, and everything happens purly through the GUI.
I have one VPS already and I was just wondering what would be the best way to utilise this and if anyone has any suggestions on how I could improve the network and how's best to set it up. I already have cPanel and WHM installed on the existing VPS.
I got one of those cheap $10 servers from hostmds to use to backup my vps.
Know I just need to know how do I setup rsync to backup my vps nightly? Any links to good guides to do this would be great. I looked on google, but am hoping someobody knows a guide that is simple to follow.
I have a problem with a couple of the domains on my reseller account.
Although apparently configured the same as other domains I am unable to set the default URL to use the www prefix using .htaccess. When I try I get a redirect loop error.
You can visit one of the problem domains here: [url]
If you stick www in front you will see that it resolves to the non-www version. Any idea where this is taking place?
if there's a standard "upgrade" number when setting the memory_limit in php.ini from the default 16MB. I always have a handful of scripts that demand a lot of memory.
