View 1 RepliesIs there any sense to upgrade to cent os 5?I mean,is there any critical benefit which will increase server performance if i do that.I noticed i can upgrade over ssh but since that will generate downtime i wonder is there a sense to do that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a server in our office which is used as a share drive. Puts all accounting docs on it ect. After 6 or so, it will loss all conectivity completely. Yet the server still stays on. We installed everything in all packages on the server including it graphical interface. We havent mucked with any of the powersavings so what could it be. Also there is nothing plugged into it eg screen,keyboard and mouse. All that is connected is the power cable and the ethernet cable. That is it.
It is directly connected to a belkin wireless router

I noticed with every new cent os server there are different mirrors for cent os repos.Since on each cent os repo file is same,how does it pick which mirror it pick?I ask beacuse latest server has picked one extremly slow edu mirror which is not just slow,it also timeout,and it may extend update to 2 hours instead 5 minutes which usually will take.So how do i change base mirror on base cent os repo?

my friend ordered an vps with a host, he ordered 5.3 - 32bit but some how I feel he has been provided with 5.0 version by the host, I didn't know how to confirm it, when I checked his hypervm, this was the cent os details provided:
Ostemplate: centos-5-i386-hostinabox576
there is rebuild option in the hypervm and in tht when I look out,here it shows the following:

what my friend exactly needs is a cent os 5.3 - 32bit system, so if he selects cent os 5.3-ix386 (full) will it install with cent os 5.3 ?? he doesn't want kloxo to b in there auto, he/I can install tht,

I'm in a vps with 512 MB ram now, my visitors per day is 10K and from top command, i just use about 200 MB. But, my vps is always got downtime everyday about 30 minutes. The CS said it is because my ram, the top command is not representing the real ram and recommend me to upgrade my ram to 768 MB.
Should i upgrade my ram?
I run the website for a small but profitable business. We currently have a shared hosting package with Midphase (who suck horribly) for about $10/month, and I'd like to switch hosts ASAP.
I need to stay under $50/month, but my question is how much do I need to spend and would I benefit from VPS?
Our requirements are relatively modest (see below) but we need rock-solid uptime, fast transfer speeds, and quick/effective support should we need it. I'd also like to keep using cpanel or something equally easy.
Here's are current stats:
traffic: 1000 visits/month or less
disk space: 5GB
bandwidth: 1.5 GB/month
mysql databases: 3
scripting: We also have a couple of wordpress blogs installed and run a small php script daily via cron
I try to relocate a database from my MS-sql8 server to a MS-sql 10. I can't get it to work as it should on the new host.
I have used the deattach / atttach method and after that i can login to the db in the new server and make selects. However stored procedures or views does not work. If i try to access them from a vbscript it get an error telling me that the stored procedure does not exicst. If I use the admin tool I can verify that it is there.. Can someone explain what to do? the db is owned by the user and should have all user rights thats needed, but apparently i guess that something is missing.
I have had a VPS at Futurehosting for over 2 years, that I am very happy with. Currently, the OS is Centos 4.
At what point in time should I upgrade to Centos 5? And are there in pitfalls when upgrading from a system that seems to be ticking along happily. Are there many incompatibility issues?
Also, similar question for Apache 2 and MySQL 5?
I have a test VPS set-up, and I wish to upgrade to PHP 6 to test out my pre-existing websites (and make any necessary changes pro-actively).
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to upgrade it (and then configure Apache 2.2, MySQL 5 etc as needed)?
I have a linux VPS server.My trouble started when I bought a script that required me to install PHP5. Currently my server have 4.3.9.
Being a linux noob, it took me 2 days to install PHP 5 but now the problem is everything is still using PHP 4.3.9. When i do a phpinfo(); it shows php4.3.9.So, can someone please tell me how to tell the system to use PHP 5.
I used the exact same ./configure command as i see in the PHPINFO(); for PHP4.3.9 i.e

Currently my ensim server's PHP version is 4.3.9, and i will want to upgrade it to version 4.4.7. But i have never upgrade PHP before.
Is there any guide which can guide me on how to perform the upgrade? I heard that upgrading through RPM is a faster way?
I have a dedicated server and currently its running php 4.4.7. I need to upgrade to atleast 5.0 to run a script i purchased for my new website. Script wont install unless its php 5.0.
So here is what i did:
logged into my whm under root...clicked on Software-Apache Update
Now i have a list of software i can install. So i selected php module version 5.0.4 and clicked on start build. It ran and then my server restarted. But now when i try to open any of my sites on that dedicated server it does not open them. It makes me download each page i try to open.
Example i go to www.mysite.com/index.php it will ask me to download the index.php file.
How do i install php 5 on my server using cpanel/whm
I currently have a LiquidWeb VPS1 since April 15, 2006. Over-all very happy with it (minus the cPanel crap cPanel pulls). They are running a special on all VPS's and dedicated and am thinking of moving to the VPSII plan. CPU load is low and RAM/System usage (is that RAM?) usage is sitting at 55% (after 5 days).
I do "Family and Friends" hosting and it covers it now, but I couldn't afford to pay for the VPSII on my own, but with auto monthly payments from Friends and Family I could afford it.
Reasons for looking at the VPSII plan? 768MB RAM and double the CPU. My friend is hosting with me and runs all Drupal sites (same with me (once they go live). Drupal seems to like a min of 32-64MB for the php.ini file. Disk space is 56% not that big a deal.
If I pay the $150 setup fee, I can reduce the monthly cost to $25/month more then I pay now. So my question is, is it worth it? Is it worth it if I get the funding on monthly going?
I have a server that requested to do hardware upgrade the noc couldn't make it right with the same hdd so they just make new machine and connected the old hdd as the 2nd hdd
(/oldhdd) to this new server where in the old hdd are all data and have to import all accounts to this new server or the better way would be to make it primary and that would save a lot of time not having to create add each account one by one then copy files and start making all the configuration of the server from scratch but my concern is all for accounts.
It has cpanel and there are more than 200 accounts.
Upgraded http apache from 1.2 to 2.2 quite new in 2.2 and also upgraded to php5 but after that facing two thing before upgrade in my process running only have mysql and httpd processes but after this upgrade php5 process also join them now three process running .
And secondly many time when people try to browse my forum base site then they are getting done page which is blank page nothing happen just done and nothing display on page but after keep refreshing got forum page . but need to refresh 2 to 3 time i am also new in http 2.2 envirment how to optimize it as well thanks in advance God bless you .
I never done PHP installation from source code. I have Fedora server with PHP/MySQL/Apache installed and tuned for needs of my site.
I wonder how can I upgrade to 5.2.3 and keep all settings and modules as is now?
I've googled for it but found nothing (I've found some instructions, but for other situations).
When I attempt the upgrade to PHP 5.2.1 using apache update in WHM. It doesn't upgrade. It looks to doa basic version check and then restarts Apache. Is this a known bug or is there a way that this can be corrected?

I'm currently on RZ Advance Plan for almost 2 years and found them to be ok. Well I guess I don't bother them much as I'm hosting mostly very low traffic corporate sites which utilizes email rather than anything else. However we had a couple of email issues on and off and it normally will be ok after we submit a support tkt although RZ will always maintain that nothing is wrong. The spams issues though is still unresolve to date. I'm not sure if getting a new provider will change all that either.
Then there was a week when I'm developing a site for a client and was working on it at around 3 - 5 am Singapore time.
There was at least an 5 - 8 occurances of intermmittent downtime lasting no more than 2 -5 mins on the site during that hr, when questioned RZ said thatit was a peak period. 2 - 3 mins of waiting time for that amount of occurances doesn't seem too
good when you're developing the site right? So I'm considering ..
Should I upgrade to RZ Failover plan or Liquidweb VPS. Liquidweb server secure feature attracted me the most as it mentioned
the spam issues that is crucial for me.
I like RZ end user support but not too confident with the email/ spam issues will be any better. Do you think getting Liquid VPS with 384dedicated RAM suffice for 30 - 50 corporate sites? I'm setting a budget of no more than $100 to include external end user support. Possible?
I am looking to upgrade my hosting account from IIS 6 to IIS 7, as I haven't been able to install some of the apps that I want on godaddy. I am just looking for a quick direction should I upgrade or not? I am not very knowledgeable about IIS thing, Godaddy says that If I upgrade I will not be able to downGrade, that makes me more snif*
please has anyone upgraded? so please tell me what would the consequences? or if any godaddy staff reads it please also tell me that on Upgrade page it shows me my directories, should I check them all?
