I have 2 locations, one with a Watchguard Firebox II/1000 and the other with a Cisco ASA 5520. I have configured a VPN between them and have run into a snag. The VPN tunnel works fine until it expires, but there is a significant lag in re-establishing the tunnel. The lag is enough to cause Backup and Data transfer failures due to timeouts.
Does anyone know how to configure the VPN tunnel to never expire, regardless of uptime or traffic volume? The Cisco doesn't seem to want to let me configure either phase for 0 or infinate kb expiration.
I have a small rack of 15 servers (mostly running CPU intensive applications). Our average bandwidth consumption is a consistent 7mbps between all servers. I was researching to find a solution to filter incoming and outgoing email (provide hosting to a few people on one of the boxes), to prevent spammers from getting in or the occassional customer turned spammer from getting outbound.
I was considering the Firebox X Core x550e, to put in front of our units. Has any one had any experiance with them first hand? Can the unit handle it? It says 25,000 concurrent sessions, I don't think I have 25,000 concurrent sessions ever at any giving time going out bound....
I am considering on implementing a new firewall in our colo which would have about 10 servers behind it which generates on averages 2.314 megabits/sec for everything.
I am looking at the new Watchguard x750e running version 10 of Fireware which seem like a good fit without breaking the bank but I have also thought of simply implementing a Poweredge server running CentOS and running an IPtables config to provide firewall services.
Anybody have any Feedback on the Watchguard unit or use a Watchguard product in their setup and can comment?
We're thinking about purchasing the firebox x750e. Any experience with these? I see a lot of negative feedback on the x500 series but could not find anything on the x700s.
Does the watchguard, netscreen, and sonticwall firewalls all require an annual renewal fee?
I see some x700s on ebay for under $500. What's bad about buying these used ones?
Is there a way to increase the timeout for a SSH connection when idle? Mine (on my server) seems to time out after 15-20 mins of inactivity. I'd like to increase this to like 60 mins or indefinitely.
I have heard mixed reports and can't find any good info. Personally i've run a cronjob for up to 6 minutes, but as my best method was sending myself emails through php, its not exactly a highly accurate testing method.
On the same note, what would happen if one cronjob is running a php script for over 10 minutes, then another cron job starts on the same script, before the first one has finished?
where I can't access my terminal because my connections keep getting timed out. Its been ok previously but for the last 2 days I could not connect because the connection timed out 9/10 times. No modifications were made during this time so whats the problem guys?
I have a problem with my VPS. Hosting company have migrated my vps to a new and better dedicated server and now on all my sites(and IP) I got connection timeout error. I have changed "Main IP" and resolvers in HyperVM 10 minutes ago and it's not working(or I have to wait to wait like for nameservers registration?). I can ping my IP and all services(lxadmin,lighttpd etc are started successfully and its not wotking, I still getting connection timeout error.
I have a phpbb3 forum that I post sound clips for my members to download and I had a few of them tell me that sometimes the downloads truncate. I asked my host what the deal is and they told me that their scripts time out after 60 seconds and that there was no way to make it longer.
I have never heard of this before and I want to know, is that normal or standard for hosting companies? It seems weird that they would host a message board that allows attachments and their service doesn't allow enough time for people with dialup or slower connections to download files in their entirety.
I have a new website that has a similar feature to tripadvisor's Reviews, where users share detailed thoughts and experiences. They fill in all this information on one form so there is no interaction with the system while they are writing.
I know Apache has the TimOut setting which is set to 5 minutes by default. This ensures that you do not have users using active memory and sessions for a long period of time.
But the problem I have seen is that some users are spending 15-20 minutes writing very detailed experiences and when they hit the submit button obviously their session has timed out and they lose everything and get a system error.
I really don't want to change the TimeOut value in Apache to 20 min due to resource constraints, but is this my only option?
I'm trying to solve an issue with certain customers timing out. In regards to the "http KeepAlive timeout" value.... When this timer expires, does the webserver have the tcp stack send a FIN? IF so, does it actually do it like at six or seven seconds?
I am assisting a client who is linking to an online calculator, he is putting a frame on top of the calculator page, so people will still see his information. However, for some reason he is getting a Session Timeout Error in IE.
I don't get this error in Firefox using this method, or ever going to the direct page in IE.
Let me give a better explanation:
If you visit: [url]
Just put in a fake name and email, it loads a frame at top, and then the online calculator, which is this page: [url]
Why I am getting a Session Timeout? Is there a better solution. I never get the same error if I go directly too: [url]
We want a frame or better solution because we still want the contact information to be in front of the consumer.
Does this maybe have to do with a cookie and frame?
I've been experiencing some annoying issues recently, trying to troubleshoot whether it's actually my server or my ISP -
Using a HostGator standard box, php 5.2.3, optimized based on scribby's tutorial.
Basically I'll be editing my website for about 10-15 minutes, going through the admin panel and uploading files from it several times. Suddenly it will begin timing out for about 1 min or so and then it will run very sluggish/slow unless I let it "cool down" for a bit and try again later. I ran "ping -t mysite.com" while editing the site and during the timeouts and there was no packet loss. I can access other sites on the server and WHM from the IP at normal speeds during the timeouts, and other people can access the affected site fine.
I have a web server with Apache 2.4 VC11 [URL] .... running on Win 7.
On my server I have some mp3's. I can queue them up in Winamp and the 1st one will begin streaming. However, after it plays for about 20-30 minutes it stops streaming, almost as if some time limit has been reached, and advances to the next song. I can reselect the song and drag the position to where it stopped playing and it will continue to play for about 20-30 minutes from that position and stop again.
Is there a setting in the apache configuration I need to add/change to increase this limit?
unfortunately my server crashes a lot recently. What happens is that some application creates a MySQL connection which hangs and then MySQL gets overloaded and takes the whole server down.
My question:
1. How do I configure MySQL to time out even on active connections ? I.e. after 30 seconds kill the process no matter if it is still active or not. Is that possible ?
Soon I find out that my ping keeps dropping. The server was smoothly running, SSH is smooth, Website are loading fine, except I cannot ping my server. I disable SELINUX completely and it still doesn't help.
When I disable CSF, my server ping are responding back!
So I remove CSF installation and reinstall CSF, the same problem appear
How can I solve this issue?
My kernel is 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5PAE running on latest version of cPanel on CentOS 5.1
I am facing some strange problems with one of my cPanel/WHM server. It's a dedicated server with Quad Core processor and 4gb ram. First i thought it was a ddos attack but now i think it's not. I am keep getting ftpd failed emails every 5-10 mins.
ftpd failed @ Mon Jul 7 06:07:21 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
Failure Reason: Timeout while trying to get data from service server is extremely slow and load is over 10 for last 2 days. it shows that httpd, mysql, ftp is up but none of our site's are loading. 1 thing i noticed when i logged into WHM is that it says WHM VPS Optimized. Attachment 13075
For some reason, my IPs that we use for a IP based site are un-pinable (ping time out) after some time. However, when I restart apf (firewall) the ip are back again and are pinable again.
We added the IPs for the IP based site over the ensim panel.
I belive its a Firewall issue, does anyone know how to check why the Ips are always getting un-pinable?
I'm having a bit of trouble here with MySQL, I don't know what to do. Centos 4.3, Mysql 4.1
Data is stored in /var/lib/mysql/
I'm looking to move that information to a second hard drive soon, and did a quick test of just copying it to another place on my existing drive. It won't start.
