to set up a little server that will have LAMP installed on it. All it will do is host a small program that runs on PHP and mySQL and will only be used on an office network with about 50 employees.
How well would this server run if the hardware was rather modest (667Mhz, 128mb RAM, 10GB HDD)?
I currently dev locally on a cobalt RAQ (ollld!) and would like to upgrade this setup.
I'm looking for a simple way of getting a linux system setup for internal dev work with the basics... mysql, apache, php5, and some kind of version control - subversion / cvs.
Are there any linux liveCDs that I could use to make something like this quite easily?
For our production server we use plesk, so a control panel similar to that for setting up new dev domains would be useful. Open source of couse tho.
We have a spare powerconnect server in work and i was looking to set it up as a web server for a company intranet - more to gain experience in configuring a web server than anything else.
I decided to go with Fedora 8 as i'd used fedora previously and followed the LAMP tutorial on HowToForge.
However i've come across a problem which i just can't seem to resolve (after pretty intensive searching). So, i guess this post is in 2 parts.
Firstly, the error i'm getting is with mysql only. The error message is:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I understand this may be a generic error but i'm not sure what other information would be useful.
Secondly, as this is my first web server - have I made the correct choice in terms of linix release or would something like CentOS be more suitable? I'd like to get this right from the start now that i have the chance.
under your experiences which is the configuration recommended for a LAMP server? safe mode, phpsuexec, php version...
View 2 Replies View RelatedBecause of the security issues inherent in controlling DNS servers on other VPS/servers that run other processes, host websites and store mission-critical data and for other reasons related to control, we want to keep our DNS server separate from our other servers and our own desktops. Therefore, we're going to get a small VPS for this purpose.
We won't totally cheap out on this so we'll be getting a quality VPS from a good provider. But, we probably don't need more than 5 or 10G of HD space but we wonder how much RAM and bandwidth we need to run something like MyDNS with MyDNSConfig with a MySQL backend.
Also, what's the best Linux distro for this kind of thing? We use CentOS with facility but are not afraid to try a new one if it's a better choice for this purpose.
For a LAMP server user, is there a general consensus that everyone should pretty much install and run ModSecurity? Is there ever a good reason not too?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am just trying to understand what I am doing wrong when I try to set up a second server with LAMP. I already have a working server with LAMP but i didn't set that one up. Now I am trying to add additional machine and I am trying to figure out what else do i have to do so the machine will work as virtual server for my webpage(s).
Like I said, on a new server i already installed Lamp, forwarded ports 80, 22, 442 ....to correct LAN IP, and added an entry under apache2 sites-available like this:
"<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias www.test.com
ServerAdmin info@test.com
DocumentRoot /media/BigBoy/www/test
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/test_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>"
Than i connected a new domain to my main IP but it automaticly connects to the old server that is already running in my home network. So the question is what do i have to do, for my new server to run the webpages i want to? Do i have to add a specific command on old server or something else i forgot?
I want to make a Audio and Video Streaming Server using LAMP. I am running Redhat and have latest version of PHP, MySQL and Apache.
what i need to make such a server? I dont want to buy anything all things should be OpenSource.
I've just switched my Apache and PHP config over to linux(ubuntu 14.10).
Apache 2.4.12 is using the mpm-event worker and PHP 5.6 is running in FastCGI/fpm mode.
I'm running MariaDB 10.0.17
I'd like to reduce the time to first byte even more, its currently 80 ms for static files and 110ms for PHP generated pages.
1. 80 ms seems like a lot, since the ping to the server is <15ms
How can I reduce this? Are there some tweaks for the Linux networking stack or Apache that I can apply?
I'm also using SSL, I remember it could be tweaked to improve its performance but I don't remember how..
I currently enabled the following in my main apache config:
Code:
ServerSignature Off
ServerTokens Prod
TraceEnable off
EnableMMAP on
EnableSendfile on
UseCanonicalName On
2. Is there a mod_spdy for Apache 2.4? what about http 2.0?
3. Can I tell PHP to make use of unix sockets to connect to the database server? (I heard unix sockets is faster)
4. I've installed memcached for PHP, can I also use this for Apache?
I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5
AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded)
webmin
usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
when I get a server it comes with cPanel and I don't have to do much to get it going, but this time I don't need all the bells and whistles. What should I do to get a server with only CentOS to start running a pretty simple web server that just listens on whatever ip? I just want it to run php,mysql, and a web server which I know how to setup already. What I want to know is what else is necessary to setup? Resolvers, the hostname, bind, named, etc?

I've been working on this for some time now, but I'm not sure on how the settings were transfered over to this server. I wish I was there when it was done.
Anyways, we got a new server and we transfered all the accounts to the new one. The old one is gone. When people send emails to their email accounts on the server, this is returned:

I'm making the switch from windows to linux for our company web server. We've been running IIS/MySQL/PHP for years and with the OS cost to upgrade the server switching to Linux seems an obvious choice. What frustrates me is that none of the Distros seem very quick to use the latest versions of the AMP components and compiliing from source seems an unnessary hassle. I've tried Ubuntu server so far which has Apache 2.2.9/Mysql 5.0.67/PHP 5.2.6 with no room to easily upgrade any of the components (our WIMP server uses the latest MySQL/PHP).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a VPS server on Slicehost, I've followed the guide on howtoforge for debian and have everything installed including ISPConfig3. Everything seems to work fine at the mo but when I check the memory usage, i see that I'm using around 490/500mb of my 512mb setup. Its a Xen setup so I understand this is real memory available but I'm not sure if this is enough.
I will ultimately be running around a dozen sites, some static and some dynamic. There's one Mambo and one Joomla site there but they don't update. The rest are all php/mysql sites that I've built myself but again, they don't change that much. None of the sites currently see more than a couple hundred uniques a day, and some only a handful, so usage is not high. Most of the domains have e-mail accounts attached, but its only moderate usage with around a dozen addys per domain max.
So, do I need more memory or will 512 be enough? Is there anything I can do to reduce the load and give myself some more room?
I'm moving from a shared hosting environment and while I'm comfortable setting up the server, I would rather have a simple mail manager that would give users more control over their accounts, change passwords etc, which I'm hoping ISPConfig3 will be able to help with, but thats probably best discussed in another post.
All setup following various tutorials on lamp, but having issues trying to view site url.

Typically, I am looking for LAMP+standard tools, e.g. FTP, SSH, mail, etc.
I tried to create one myself, but the configurator seemed to ignore my specifics and install large groups of stuff anyway.
I'm in the process of trying to document a process for setting up any new LAMP servers in our hosting environment and I was wondering if anyone had any input on software and best practices that they use in their environment and why. I.E.
PHP setup
Apache setup
Preferred Linux Distro
FTP program used
User creation guidelines
Default php.ini settings
Default site settings
etc.

Do you realise that the x64 Opteron is needing an avarage 1.7 %MEM for each Apache process while the Xeon just needs 0.5 %MEM?
Since both use the same version of phpBB and the same version of CentOS5, while the only difference is one is x64 and the other i686, I wonder if this has to do with the way memory is handled by the x64 CentOS5.
