I am about to order a new VPS, and will like to have php,mysql,ruby on it. the extra thing would be tomcat 5.
First of all, I don't think that any of the clients is going to use tomcat, but it would look nice to have it there.
the VPS is something like:
Cent OS
512 Mb ram with 1,5 Gb burst
30 Gb space
Should I get tomcat installed or not?
This is a instructional overview thread for those developers who are getting into setting up their own server with a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) setup. The linux distro referred to in this thread is a centOS (fedora|redhat) setup.
Before Anything
- Make sure that your actual RAM is the same amount that is displayed by the server (there could be some BIOS restrictions on RAM so check for that).
Linux OS Installation
- Use a server system for the type of install.
------------------------------
- Setup you partitions with care:
- Make sure that everything other than /swap is an ext3 partition type.
- /swap (usually double the amount of space that your ram has but never larger than 4 gigs.
- /tmp (700meg is ok).
- /boot (100meg is ok).
- / (leave rest of the available space in the harddrive for this).
------------------------------
- Use GRUB boot loader
- Use DCHP only if your IP address changes due to the network. If not, then assign the IP address of the box.
- Assign the netmask if DCHP is not in use.
------------------------------
- When setting up the packages, select only what you need. Most of the time it's better to just install no packages and then install everything you need by yum (yellowdog update manager). If you do not select any packages, only the 1st CD of the linux install will be needed.
Linux OS Customizing
- Create a new user and provide it a password (with # passwd). Do not create a user with a generic or commonly known names used in any daemon programs (ex. mysql, apache, admin, user, php, postgresql).
- Disable the ROOT login in SSH (this means that when you login using the other user with SSH, you'll have to $ su to the root user).
- Install "Development Tools" with yum using group install if you plan to compile your own apache. If not then install apache with yum install apache.
Apache Settings
- Disable the extensions that you're not using for your website. If the server is only hosting one website, then there is no use for Virtual Hosts.
- Set the ServerLimit value to a suitable value so that users won't get locked out of the website.
- Change the User and Group directives to the newly created user.
- Set Options +Indexes to Options -Indexes so that the contents of directories w/o an index file will not be displayed.
- Change the DocumentRoot setting to the newly created user's home (~) directory. Or if you plan to use the default (/var/www/htdocs or /var/www/html) then assign the permissions of the user to that directory.
- Add apache as a start up program when the operating system boots up (this can be set in /etc/rc.d/local).
- Setup logs accordingly. If you setup image logging and your server has 20+ images per page then your website performance can suffer.
- Setup Error Logs to a suitable level.
- If any web pages are not displaying and the web server appears to be on when accessing it from the localhost (wget http://localhost) then disable or flush the iptables (/usr/sbin/iptables --fliush). You should also set this as a start up option for the OS.
- Use mod_rewrite to use modern URLs.
MySQL Settings
- Use --skip-name-resolve.
- Use --skip-bdb (if you're not using it).
- Use --skip-innodb (if you're not using it).
- Set a log for slow queries.
- Set the max_connections to a high value.
- Do not set a user with a wildcard ip-address. Only setup users with a specific ip.
- Use Query Caching for frequently used queries.
PHP Settings
- Disable Magic Quotes.
- Disable Register Globals.
- Disable Short Tags.
- Disable ERROR REPORTING if the website is not in development mode.
- Enable HTTP Only Session Cookies.
- Set Session Cookies to only be cookies (and not URL's).
- If sessions do not work, then set the session save path to a directory where the apache user has access to.
- Use Gzip Compression.
Optimizing Concepts
- Use an optcode cache for PHP (Eaccelerator).
- Consider using a static domain for CSS and JS files (this way the same cookies for the website won't be sent on each request).
- If your website uses alot of CSS and JS files per page, bundle all of them together into one request using mod_rewrite and php [url]
- For Apache, use the lingerD module (this reduces the amount of resources that are used when an apache connection is closed).
Here are some links for optimizing your server build:
- [url]
- [url]
- [url]
I am looking for a new supplier for colocation related stuff like shelfs, powercables, tyraps, etc etc. A shop which has most of the items which come in handy when you are in a datcenter.
Location does not really matter if they can ship :-)
Let me know where you get your stuff.

I see over a few hundred of these lines in /var/log/messages. The timestamp is exactly the same for every 2 lines (Proftp session- Opened and Closed). It's occuring every hour of the day. Is someone attacking the ftp daemon or something?
I don't know about security on servers much, and we're setting up our new server. I have the techs doing the install stuff, but I would love to know what to install security wise. My current list:
Firewall - good free one?
Antivirus - good free one?
rootkit, some way of stopping it (anti-rootkit?)
Also, is there some sort of script which searches all cPanel accounts/files for phishing sites or spam sites etc? I swear I've seen one before, in firewall form?
Oh the server setup is going to be:
php5-CGI, fCGI, mySQL 5, apache 2.2.x, centOS, ruby on rails, django, ioncube, other php libraries, mod_rewrite, I think thats everything. (cPanel).
My host tells me that they have security to stop DDoS attacks and stuff, however today my server load jumped to 17.12 and my site went down giving me a "Network Timeout" error.
My host tells me it's my fault that I am using too many resources. The MOST my site has been on load is 3.06 and that was around lunch time a few weeks back. It's 11:43 and the server load is 17.12? I think my host is pulling my leg. I have not added ANYTHING new to my site and have not changed anything in 3 days. The load has been fine till today.
I use In Motion Hosting.
if anybody know the cable pin out on making a console cable using those serial adapters?

I am trying to install a newer release of APC PHP cache on our server that runs RHES-4 and PHP 4.3.9
I installed version 3.0.14 some time ago and now cannot install the new v3.0.16. When I run ./configure I get this:

The baffling thing is that I also cannot now reinstall 3.0.14 as it shows the same error.
I also get this error if I try to install XCache.
I have tried to manually setup awstats on a website in Windows 2008 with IIS 7. The problem here is that I have to create two conf files for each website, one named awstats.sitename.conf and the other awstats.www.sitename.conf. If I don't do so, then awstats does not work on either www.sitename.com or sitename.com. I cannot update the stats or view it from the browser. I have a few Hosting controller servers in which awstats is used and I compared the conf file with them and there is no difference. I wonder what could be the issue.

I have a domain, ex: hangnguyen.com at godaddy, I changed nameserver to ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net .
Now I order a shared hosting at bluehost, I should change nameserver to ns1.bluehost.com, ns2.bluehost.com to make it works .
But I want keep the nameserver ns1.everydns.net ....
So how I config my domain in everydns control panel to let my domain work on bluehost?
Switching from Windows DNS to bind DNS. Slightly different as I have to learn the commands instead of using the GUI. Can you tell me if the below config is correct to run mydomain.net so people can access it from the web? It will also be acting as its own name servers. This is purely for external DNS. The private IPs will be changed to routable ones once its in the DC.
Have I missed anything or is that good enough for deployment to the live environment?

I've decided to move from managed hosting to colocated hosting and I'm in a bit over my head as far designing the server configuration goes. I'm looking for assistance with setting up a fully redundant configuration with no SPOF (single point of failure).
The colo provider ensures full redundancy to the cabinet, terminating with two network drops from diverse bandwidth providers and HSRP. I need to eliminate all SPOFs inside the cabinet.
Some questions...
1) I'm thinking of using the Cisco 2960 Series switch as the in-cabinet distribution switch. I believe it supports HSRP. From my understanding, the switch will automatically failover from one uplink to the other in case of a network problem on one of the uplinks, and this will all be transparent to any servers connected to the switch. Is this correct?
2) However, this introduces the switch as SPOF. So, I believe what I need to do is ask the colo for a second pair of network drops and deploy a pair of 2960's. Then I would connect each server to both switches via separate NICs. Is this correct?
3) Finally, assuming I am on the right track here, I would like this to all be transparent and automatic with no human intervention required to recover from a switch failure. The servers will be running RHEL 4. How would I configure the network interfaces on the servers so that they can transparently use either (or both) of the switches? Is there some way to assign the same IP address to more than one interface? How does the OS keep from getting confused about where to send the traffic?
Thanks in advance for any insight. I would also be happy to hear recommendations for excellent network consultants that I could hire to design and implement this configuration for me.

As another detail, I'm running Postfix on its original config, not through a MySQL database config.
ive just upgraded to Apache 2.2.6 today and ive found a problem. Im trying a new way of doing mass virtual hosting using mod macro.

ErrorDocument 404 "drive:/folder/404.php"

AllowOverride all
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
</Macro>
Use vhost DJSmithy "drive:/Hosting/DJSmithy"
Mostly it works fine but if there is a 404 then i get a 403 permission denied error instead of the error page. the folder that contains the error page does have a <directory> bit for it and i even tried adding it into the virtual host but i get the same result.
if the file does exist then it loads like normal
can anyone see any problems with my config or do i have to do something diff for 2.2.6?
Got a new box, Xeon 3060, 2GB memory, 2x250 SATA II drives. I have 1 mysql/php forum with about 60-70 users online and 1 multimedia download site.
the minimum configuration for Apache httpd.conf ? I just need a starting point to optimize.
I had to switch to Apache 2 from Lighttpd and I'm running into a little bit of trouble trying to make it handle all my traffic. I'm using the worker MPM module, which has the following default config:
Code:
<IfModule mpm_worker_module>
StartServers 2
MaxClients 150
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
I need Apache to be able to handle about 200-500 requests per second. I tried increasing ServerLimit and MaxClients but that didn't work very well.
I was wondering if anyone has a tried and tested suhosin config for an average webhosting box?
I tried the config on the webhostgear article and it caused a few problems with some sites. On my directadmin server I managed to do the patch and the extension. I was wanting to do the same on cpanel server. Has anyone done the patch as well with easyapache?
I figure you would have to go to where it saves the downloaded source and patch it then zip it back up.
I just went to a box for myself, and just realized that my ram is closing in on it's limit.
We have 1gb of ram, yet we have around 50MB left.
We run 2 forums, with around 200 concurrent to 2000 on peaks. ( Currently it's 200 concurrent. )
Just hoping somebody could take a look at my httpd.conf and my my.cnf to see if I should tweak anything.
Ran top shift+m, and find that alot of apache connections is using 5mb per process:

I have kind of inherited this server from another person so I'm not totaly sure how it was set up. It is a:
red hat machine running
2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp kernel
running apache 2.0.52(red hat)
at any rate this server mainly serves up images but also a few video encoded in flash(.swf files). Basically the issue at hand is there are a few domain names that all point to this server but only one domain name will let the .swf files stream correctly. All other domain names will wait for the whole thing to download before playing. I'm pretty new to apache 2, but I do know apache 1 pretty well. I'm not totally sure where to start with all this. The server is set up with no virtual hosting for each domain which I think could a problem.
config.php to not have write permissions for everyone? I am running cpanel 10x with whm/extras Here is full report when i try and load fantastico scripts. You must secure this program. Insecure permissions on config.php While installing CSLH you might of needed to change the permissions of config.php so that it is writable by the web server. config.php no longer needs to be written to so please chmod config.php to not have write permissions for everyone. you can do this by UNCHECKING the box that reads write permissions for the file:
