Does anyone know of a provider that has an Ubuntu Desktop VPS? I've got accounts with fsckvps and xensmart but they only have centos ones - I'll install gnome on of them if I really have to but i'd prefer todo as little leg work as possible as it's for personal use.

Both will be in seperate datacentres but I'd like a secure tunnel so I can setup jobs to backup to one another.
This has to be done on the server level and cannot be done at the router/firewall as I do not have access to this kit.
Ubuntu how good it is for hosting platform? also what are its advantages over other os?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen we chose Symfony to implement [url], PHP 5 was needed but we only had PHP 4 installed in our Ubuntu hosting servers. We couldn¡¯t just migrate everyone to PHP 5 since some of client¡¯s applications were incompatible with PHP 5. Some tutorials were found online explaining how to run PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously such as [url] and [url]but they all used CGI. As you probably know, CGI is not scalable and we needed to scale in PHP4 and PHP5 since we needed to server millions of hits in both configurations. The following are additional the requirements we had:
1. Run Apache
2. Use mod_php for both PHP versions.
3. Run eAccelerator with both PHP versions.
4. Use as many Ubuntu packages as possible to ease maintenance issues and easily deploy on multiple servers.
5. Use Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
The solution we came up with was to run Apache 2 with PHP 5 and run Apache 1 with PHP 4 on separate IPs. Ubuntu comes already with these packages. The only package we had to compile was eAccelerator. The following lists the steps taken to get this setup:
Apache 2 with PHP 5
* apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd php5-mysql php5-dev make php5-mcrypt php5-imap
* vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and uncomment extension=mysql.so
* vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf and put Listen Your.IP.Goes.Here:80
* a2enmod expires
* vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/hosting

the extension_dir is commented out (??) however CURL does work but there is nothing about CURL in php.ini. I cant find any php.so files.

This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.
For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.
I am a CS major in college and new to these forums. I wanted to start by saying Hi and asking if anyone has used Spiceworks (spiceworks dot com) and had any complaints/praises? Also, are there any paid alternatives to the product and how do they match up against it.

CentOS™, Debian™, Ubuntu™, Fedora™, or Gentoo™.?
I've just ordered a dedicated server with Ubuntu server, but they've come back to me to say that they've had trouble installing Ubuntu server on these particular servers.
As an alternative, they're offering to install Debian. My concern is that I come from a windows background and have spent the last month reading and playing with Ubuntu Server in vmware. I'll be running a small handful of sites on the server and will rely on the apt-get and package installer in webmin to get things set up and for administration. I'll dabble in the shell a little, but only when needed.
Should I go with a different host that can offer Ubuntu, or will I be okay with Debian?
I have just ordered a VPS from VPSempire to learn more about web servers and server in general.
I hope to install a few free control panels to play around with, webmin doesn't seem enough, what do you recommend?

50gb Monthly Bandwidth

I signed up for a windows VPS.
The directions I recieved were "Please use remote desktop to connect to your server."
So I entered the ip address into the remote desktop connection window and it doesn't connect. Where do I go from here? I searched and can't find any relevant info.
I signed up for a Win2k3 VPS account with 3dgwebhosting. I'm a newbie to Plesk and win2k3 so I spent the first day getting head around Plesk.
I then logged into Remote Desktop only to find someone else had beat me. They'd hacked in and downloaded a mass email client, email stripper and obviously sent out spam from a 2mb text file of email addresses.
I didn't spend long in Remote Desktop, but while there I switched on Windows Firewall, changed my admin login password and logged off.
Now, 24 hours later, I can't get back in. I get the error - This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try again.....
I can still login through Plesk, FTP and ExpressionWeb.
Is FW keeping me out of RD or has the hacker returned?
I am setting up xampp on my desktop and when at home, I can develop on either the desktop or my laptop using xttp://localhost/ or xttp://desktop/. When I suddenly need to travel, what's the best/easiest/fastest way to make sure I have the files I need to work with on my laptop?
Is it to install xampp on my laptop, and then copy the files I need from /xampp/htdocs over from the desktop? How would I copy the MySQL databases over as well?
I was also looking into Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0. When combined with scheduled tasks I can do automatic sychronizations once per day. Multiple times per day would be ideal... but I could set up pairings and do manual copying everytime I need to run out.
Are there better ways? I could install the 'master' server on my laptop, but I would prefer to keep it on my desktop (more space, more power, etc.)

I recently got a Windows VPS to run a few applications 24/7. I generally login to the VPS during the day, via Remote Desktop, to review these applications..
However, I frequently have issues. Sometimes, I forget to log out and I will be terminated with a "the remote computer terminated the connection" and then I won't be able to re-login to the VPS. Sometimes I click the X on the Remote Desktop and then when I try to re-connect, I get the same error. Once I got the error "the remote connection has timed out. please try re-connecting to the remote computer again "
And the worse part is that the Remote Desktop can't be restarted alone.. my host has to restart my Windows every time - so my applications go down.
Is it me or is the VPS not supposed to act like this? Why is Remote Desktop so touchy?
I was told by the host that I should always use the Log Off.. however, if I do then Windows says that it will close all my applications.. I don't get any option to Log Off without closing the apps.. so I have to end up using the X.
