Small LAMP VPS For Primary DNS Server
May 21, 2009
Because 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.

I'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.

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.

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)?

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?

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.

I 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'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 have the following three servers, which I'll call A, B, and C:
Server A - Web hosting server that uses cPanel on CentOS.
Server B - Free subdomain service (similar to afraid.org but on a much smaller scale), using PowerDNS with a MySQL database backend, on Debian.
Server C - Backup DNS server for the cPanel web hosting server, using the free cPanel "DNS Only" on CentOS.
Originally I had just A and B set up (they're two separate VPSes on the one dedicated server, I own the dedi and some friends and I have VPSes on it). Now I've got a VPS at a different data centre, and am using that for C.
To have a secondary DNS server for server B, I believe I can use MySQL replication to replicate the PowerDNS database to another server, then have a PowerDNS install on that server. My question is, is it possible to have server C as a backup DNS server for both server A (cPanel server) and server B (PowerDNS server)? ie. is there a way to check both PowerDNS and the cPanel BIND9 for domains (have them on different ports, and make one query the other if the lookup fails, perhaps)? Or perhaps use both the MySQL backend and the bind backend simultaneously in PowerDNS, and replace bind with PowerDNS (although I guess cPanel wouldn't like this)?

I got a new dedicated server, and I put the primary domain name to be zeonwebhosting.com.
However, when I setup the nameservers, and go to GoDaddy.com and NameCheap.com to change the nameservers on my domains, I get an "Errors were detected" on GoDaddy.com and a "nRRPResponseCode 531" on NameCheap.
I fixed everything in WHM and got a server administrator to fix some things for me, and it didn't work yet. Now I am thinking that the problem might not be with the server, but with the domain.
ZeonWebHosting.com is registered at GoDaddy.com, and since I was not sure what nameservers I should put as it is the primary domain name, I used the parked nameservers on GoDaddy, and used the Total DNS feature to change the A and MX Records to point to my server's IPs.
I tried putting the ns1.zeonwebhosting.com and ns2.zeonwebhosting.com DNSs on GoDaddy, but still I got the "Errors were detected" error. I tried almost everything possible. I even redid cPanel just to make sure that everything was OK with the cPanel configuration.
Also there is another problem with the server. I can't seem to be able to delete Nameservers from "Networking Setup > Nameserver IPs" in WHM. I get this message when trying to delete one of the nameservers:
"Sorry, the nameserver ip 66.79.191.196 cannot be removing since it is still registered with an ICANN register."

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.

i am currently with a host, hosting my important sites. I am now going to purchase some space from another host purely for storage purposes and bandwidth usage as they are within my budget.
Now i have my primary domain with my main host, and i would like to have a script or link from my current host which leads onto my 2nd host for users to upload their images or files. Now i have a problem, the second host that i will have will not have a registered domain attached to it, but rather it will be just storage.
I would prefer to have a subdomain from my primary host pointing to my second host. The problem is where will the subdomain point to? Or will it even work that way without having to purchase another domain?

I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.
Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.
Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.
Requirements:
Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20)
10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do
500MHz CPU is all cool
512MB or more RAM
5GB diskspace is enough
Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms)
Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered
If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.

I have set up Windows Small Business Server 2003 and was testing it over the past week. Everything has been going well and yesterday it requested to install an update (not to sure what it was now) and soon after the update was installed a restart was required.
After the server shutdown and tried to restart the system will not restart.
The machine powers up and then I am faced with a blank black screen (no load bar nothing). The monitor led light flashes from green to orange then to a static green light after the Dell splash screen.
I can load up into safe mode although I do not know how to work out what is wrong. I am guessing the update has caused the issue, possibly a boot sector needs repairing. There are no new additions to control panel -> install/remove programs which i believe is where all updates can be uninstalled from.

problem I was having which was Windows Small Business Server 2003 would hang on boot up. I never got the time to reinstall the server until now.
I have installed the server and applied all updates. This worked fine until I install the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or 2. When I install SP1 or SP2 on reboot the server loads the Dell splash screen then the monitor LED light goes orange then green then orange and then just hangs with a blank screen.
I can boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the Service Pack and I can then reboot without any problems. I have installed ADAM SP1.

I am an end-program computer engineering student. I have experience with programming languages such as C++, Java and various others but have very little experience with web based applications and hosting.
I am working on a project for my local chapter of Engineering regulators. Once a year, they hold a popsicle stick bridge building competition in different areas of the province and measure and record the maximum force that each bridge can withstand before breaking. I am tasked with measuring this data for each bridge and displaying it on a GUI.
There are approximately 5 of these competitions held in the same week, each in a different area of the province. I would like to bring the data recorded in each competition online so that the competitions can be linked together regardless of geographic location.
To do this I would need some very small scale web hosting. These competitions tak place only once a year and the amount of data sent to the server from each competition is minimal - approximately 5 entries per bridge (number, weight, max load, owner, age group) for about 200 bridges. Each competition would sample this data at regular intervals so that they can compare their top scores with those of different locations.
I have come here for some advice on the best way to set this up. I have considered the following options:
1. Purchasing server space online - This seems to come at too high a cost ($10/month is the minimum that I could find) and come with more space and speed than is required for this purpose.
2. Setting up my own server space online - This would require a dedicated PC running at all times for a long period of time (it will probably be 10-15 years before this system is redesigned). This system needs to be self maintaining as once I am off this project it will not have IT support.
3. Using the engineering regulators website space to host this data - They have a website already and I may be able to keep this data there, however, I am unsure about accessibility of this space. This database will have to be accessed by a Java or C++ based program as the GUI will be written in one of those languages, and I am note sure if this type of webspace supports the commands needed to access this information.

I have a website that just serves small files, under 10kb most of them. I just need a server that lets me ftp the file to it, set up subdomains and domains for one website. Don't need to manage mysql or anything. Not even php. Just serve files.
A good fast OS? Something like lighttpd? Ioono?
I'm currently doing 600gb of bandwidth per month. I'm expecting to do about 1000gb by the end of the year. Would a small server like a pentium 4 be able to handle just serving files?

Can I use this edition for hosting on dedicated server, and how does it compare to the enterprise edition ? Can it be used with hosting? The web edition sucks as I can not install ms sql on it, so it is useless. Anyone use sbs server to host his website, because most of the link i read never mention it for hosting, and only for print sharing/ filesharing/ business applications, but where is it's use for hosting?
So what do you think ? IO looked at its infor and it did not provide much?

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).
