The Server's Visible IP Address For Outgoing Requests
Apr 20, 2008
Where is a server's IP address for outgoing requests set? e.g. if a script on the server fetches ip-address.com, the IP that is identified there. A server may have multiple IPs pointing to it, but there's only one that outgoing requests are funneled through. I've tried changing "Main Shared IP" in WHM, but that doesn't seem to affect this.
Is this set server-side, in some setting file - or is this a datacenter thing?
But my Plesk's license allows to use MS SQL Servers.
This began to happen after upgrading Plesk 11 to 12.
In psa Database, in DatabaseServers table it appears. If I delete and add back into Plesk, it shows me no error, but neither added to the database servers.
I'm trying to prevent unnecessary GET requests from being processed by my CMS that originate from mutating IP address locations. This is sucking up server resources when the request is processed by the app, and so if possible, I'd like to block them with HTACCESS so that the request is stopped before anything is intensively-processed.
What happens is that an IP address will make a GET request for, say, "blah/test" or "blah/test2" but nothing else (no site assets like images or CSS/JavaScript files or even other pages). After this request, another IP address will then make an equivalent kind of request, and so on, and so on... All of them have similar if not identical user agent strings but they're always worthless requests that do nothing but waste CPU and RAM. I'm assuming it's just some idiotic SPAM bot because of this.
My server is sending all emails via exim smarthost to other specialised exim server (both cPanel). How may I limit customers from sending out SPAM ? Mean to scan outgoing emails and delete/store in some folder which ones identified as SPAM. Preferrably the scan part to be on exim email proxy cause it is much idle.
I add my site via ftp file to httpdocs but still appears in the default message domain parallels, I've made sure all correct indext.html and others, not to do.
I have 2 different servers one with Plesk 11.5. and one new just installed Plesk 12.0, the 12.0 will not send emails out but i get them back to the inbox of the outgoing server. is there a fix for this as i have tried both postfix and qmail to send out emails all with the same result.
It seems that something has changed from version 11.5 to 12.
The plesk configuration is installed on Debian 7.7 OS
I've been running a GoDaddy Windows server with YetAnotherForum software for my forums. It's dog slow... it takes at least 30 seconds to load a page, even longer if you are making a post.
So, I've set up one of my macs to run UPB software and I have it run 24/7. The forum works, the flatfile database runs great, and it works on my network of computers. But here's the problem. Nobody else can see it.
Sometimes the link just hangs, but mostly it just gives an error saying "The connection to the server has been reset". Is it because the server is connecting wirelessly?
I've migrated from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 few days ago. It is installed as a service on my Windows 7 developer machine and works in bundle with PHP 5.6.2.
Today I've discovered that GET parameters with Cyrillic characters in URL string are empty.
For example URL looks like this: site.com/search.php?q=%C8%E2%E0%ED%EE%E2
URL-encoded string here is Иванов (%C8%E2%E0%ED%EE%E2)
When I try to use this GET parameter in my PHP script - the variable $_GET['q'] is empty. If I put latin characters in this parameter - $_GET['q'] is taking the corresponding value.
Doesn't look like it's a problem of PHP as I think. Otherwise at least something should stay in the variable. And also I would like to add that this was working absolutely normal on Apache 2.2.
On windows 2008 server with Plesk 11.5, the Secure your Sites option is not displayed. In addition unable to share SSL certificates across many sites with shared IP address.
OS : centos 6.5 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64 actual plesk version 12.0.18 after auto-update google authentication and 3other extensions were enabled and now google authentication isn't in the list of installed extensions and not functioning i was able to login as before without google authentication but when I wanted to reinstall the extension catalog shows a empty screen I have ran /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --upgrade-installed-components & /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair no luck where to look or to reinstall the extention catalog ?
Somehow when customers add a new MySQL database they can select a Local MySQL server. It turns out this is the MySQL instance running on the CP server, can I somehow hide this server from the list?
My customer has an external facing Apache server that is acting as a reverse proxy to two internal applications. They have:
- external addresses for each app which resolve to different ip addresses, so app1.their_domain.com and app2.their_domain.com resolve to 77.3.170.10 and 77.3.170.11 respectively. - the Apache server has two network interfaces with ip addresses 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11 - the external ip addresses resolve to the above internal addresses - the firewall between the Apache server and the internal app servers is configured to allow traffic from 192.168.10.10 to reach app_server1, and traffic from 192.168.10.11 to reach app_server2, both using port 7777.
I have configured a virtual host in httpd.conf for each ip, i.e.
This works fine in that the external address are being routed to the correct application, however the firewall is blocking requests to the second app as it appears the requests are coming from the Apache servers 'primary' ip address 192.168.10.10 instead of 192.168.10.11.
Is it possible to send requests using the ip address from the relevant VirtualHost?
I set up a cron to run every minute & I'm running a PHP script by way of cron like
wget http://example.com/some_script.php
Now does each request of Cron is a seperate HTTP Request or what? Say my script takes more than 1 minute to execute completely but before its completed, its called again. So, will that effect the PHP script running because of previous HTTP Request or will it create a new HTTP Request & let the previous request finish its operation? Technically, it shouldn't block/affect the previous request, but I'm not sure!!
my server is still effed up from the MPack attack that I received.
I just received the following email, does anyone know what this means or how it could be done? The client IP is mine, so some how my server is sending that request?
I was able to successfully delete all the files, but how do I now get rid of the directories themselves? When I do: rm -fr "/arcade/images/. /" and then locate ". " I still get:
I've just been having a look through my logwatch e-mail, and have seen the following that I've not seen before:
Code: A total of 3 unidentified 'other' records logged GET http:/ /74.52.21.101/index.php2?goto=[url] HTTP/1.0 with response code(s) 2 404 responses GET http:/ /74.52.21.100/index.php2?goto=[url] HTTP/1.0 with response code(s) 2 404 responses GET http:/ /74.52.21.102/index.php2?goto=[url] HTTP/1.0 with response code(s) 2 404 responses NB. I've added a space in the URL to break the link.
what is happening here, as this looks to be something dodgy.
I have a guy who can't get to any of the 100 or so virtual hosts on my RHEL3 server.
It's running the latest Apache RPM from RedHat. I also have mod_evasive and mod_security running.
Here's what I know. The guy *CAN* connect via SSH and FTP. The guy *CAN* see the default web page when he hits the IP in his web browser (e.g. he types [url]into the address bar on IE). But when he uses any of the host names on the server he *CAN NOT* see anything. He gets timeout errors.
His IP in NOT in ANY error logs, it's not in mod_evasive or mod_security, it's not in IPTABLES, it's not anywhere I can see.
I must be missing something. Anyone have any ideas?
What would be in front of Apache blocking his requests?
I have a dedicated box with softlayer and I have noticed at varying times the past few months that with sites we host, sometimes the connection times out (I'll try to access like 5 or 6 sites within 30 seconds or so and they all drop, then a minute later they load fine).
I opened a support ticket and they said it usually has to do with the # of requests Apache can handle, and that this can be modified. They stated they could: "tweak the apache configuration file in this server that can make it possible to handle more requests."
So my question is what should the # of requests be set to? (I'm not sure what it is now, but I assume whatever the default # is).
