Im planning on using WAMPserver2 on our web server to host our website. Now, as far as I can tell, WAMPserver2 was mostly created to allow you to do work locally. Is there any known problem with using this software on a web server publically?
View 3 RepliesI heard the other day from a very reliable source that this is a fact and they expect it to happen sooner rather than later. Since they seem to set the bar anyway seems it was only a matter of time. Anyone else aware of this or am I the only one? Searched the forum before I posted and nothing came up. Seems like a significant development to me...

192.168.1.8 is a LOCAL (PRIVATE) IP.
I'm on a reseller cPanel WHM account with shell access, and this public FTP for uploading maps for a game.
How do I ban FTP users by their IP? (.htaccess wouldn't do the trick)
How do I regulate priviledges/permissions of FTP users?
How do I control (like configuring how the indexing is displayed, for example) /public_html/somedirectory/ through /public_html/.htaccess?
How do I disallow certain filetypes from existing in /public_html/somedirectory/* or to be uploaded?
How do I disallow apache from rendering any html, php, cgi, java, perl, etc files in /public_html/somedirectory/*?
So, if you had a public FTP (not the "anonymous FTP" cPanel can create, but a regular and single user account shared by everyone), how would you protect your free map hosting service from abuse? What protections would you setup? Etc.
we are looking for a provider that provides public ip vlans' with dedicated server purchases,
so far,,
we have found few companies that offer this at no extra charge or minimal extra charge
1) softlayer (best choice)
2) singlehop
3) nocster/burst.net (not a good provider for business hosting / not reliable / no phone support)
does anyone know of any other dedicated server providers that offer public ip vlans for no extra charge or minimal extra charge?
When I try to login SSH using SecureCRT Software, following error it show.
A public key file has not been specified for the session. would you like to specify one now.
I am using CPanel.
we have a server with customers
now there are any customer that must can 'include' form php a class that we must put out of customer path...
a customer must can include a class that is out of /home/public_html/customerlogin/*
how is possible to make this?
we have this Juniper SSG5 firewall, our very first Juniper and wanted to use it.
While I am able to use it in NAT mode, I have been unsuccessful to use it in route mode.
We have Public IPs from the same segment and I wanted to use it with the firewall but it appears that I can't assign IPs for each port if the IP is from the same segment.
Does it mean that we can't use it other than in NAT mode?
What we want to accomplish is to have one of IPs to act as gateway and filter or route in/out traffic to/from our other IPs.
Due to an emergency with our colo space, we are missing a switch.
As a very temporary measure, would it be possible to put both our public traffic and private traffic (10.0.0.0/8) on the same switch without a VLAN?
Essentially we'd be connecting both the trusted and external side of our (natting) firewall to the same switch, along with our servers (which have private IP's).
What are the security risks of this?
I am looking to migrate from dedicated box with windows server 2012 R2 and plesk 12 over to amazon ec2.
so setup a test server on ec2.
Plesk only shows the private IP, how do I add the public IP ?
Is it even possible ?
I regret to bring this to a public forum but having seen that solarvps has a presence here I am hoping that a resolve to this issue can be found, and any public opinions are welcomed.
Having been a customer with solarvps since 2006 without any cause for concerns it does not make me happy with some recent issues I have had with them. So I have had a vps server hosted with them since 2006. Sometime in February when attempting to login to my VPS I got an error, I left it as this happens sometimes, it happened for 4 days in a row so I thought this is a little strange logged in to my control panel, to see no VPS server was listed under the account. There was no invoice generated either. Ok this is strange but I just assumed it had been terminated, no invoice came through and that particular server was a backup server so I sought hosting elsewhere.
4 months pass I get an email from solarvps stating my account is overdue with charges applied. I contact them back straight away asking what they are billing me for I have explained the situation time and again to them, I have asked the questions why the server disappeared from my account, why I wasn’t able to access the vps remotely and why no invoices got generated at the time to which I have had no response, I have asked more than 5 times now. The only response I keep getting form them is threats if I do not pay to hand over to a collection agency and the possibility of legal action. To which I have replied each time that I will contest any such action and seek legal advice myself.
Granted I should probably have contacted them at the time but really they are at fault more than I am for not asking them what has happened, I truly believe I am not in the wrong here but nobody within solarvps is prepared is looking at the facts of what has happened here.
Well anyway I hope bringing this to a public forum will bring a resolve and maybe some answers. I am getting no response from anybody within solarvps and would be happy to take this away from the public if they are willing.
I am not unfair nor does it make sense that a customer for so long would just decide not to pay you one month and kick up a fuss over such a small amount of money but the fact that I am not in the wrong with this matter, I am not prepared to pay them no matter how much bullying tactics they wish to adopt in trying to make me.
I would like to know there is any.
View 14 Replies View RelatedCurrently we are running a very successful site for extreme sports. We have just spent 6 months on development of our new site which we will launch in a fortnight. This will free up some of my time to look at other areas and avenues to attract members.
Personally I would love to run a hotmail style service on our website, and believe this would help with the growth of our online community.
Just interested in advice from others on areas to be aware and alert when running a service like this?
I am also trying to make the decision between SocketMail or Atmail. If anyone has opinions on these, or an alternative solution i'm all for that advice too.
Basically at this point I am wanting to get as much advice together as possible, then look to making an informed decision to go ahead or not.
Currently we operate off a dedicated server and i realise this may have to become two servers in the near future with such a service. It is fully managed by myself, and a 3rd party individual I hire to maintain the server on a monthly basis.
How do you guys deny run of perl/bash scripts from /tmp, /var/tmp, /dev/shm? I've tried to build simple shell wrapper, but that's not a compromise if you run for example spamassassin on the same server (it needs direct io to/from perl binary). I'm looking intro some kind of binary wrapper or patch that will deny running perl scripts from public folders (also the same for shell scripts will be great). Any ideas or solutions?
If anyone interested in primitive shell wrapper code:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ARGS=`echo $@ | grep -v "/tmp/"`
if [ "$ARGS" != "" ]; then
/usr/bin/perl.orig $ARGS;
fi
I often need to access my sites from public places, which are behind firewalls, don't have access to hard disk and any Windows tool (just plain internet access).
Problem: firewall, closed ports: 8082 (cPanel), 2078 (SSL; I don't know, if I'll need this), 2077 and maybe others.
Which hosting features I need? to be able to
1. access cpanel, when port 8082 is closed (I was using cpanelproxy.net until now with success).
2. for uploading files from other websites directly to my website (without prior downloading on a PC hard disc) - I've herad SSH should work, but what exact SSH I need - any experience someone? Any other solution? I was trying WEb Disc feature in cPanel11 but it needs port 2078 or 2077 open...
I was worry about which is more seucre to login to the server
disabling the direct login and using the public key (ssh-dss) with 2084 bit length ?
or use the direct login?
and if the public key is more secure , should we use passphrase when generating the key? or no?
I work alot on the road and need a way to securely connect
at public WiFi hotspots all over.....
I am considering getting the VPN service from StrongVPN.com
if it is possible to setup a page like this with their public reports feature?

I tried looking for Pingdom forums, but they seem to be offline.
The only main difference I see between 2848 (48 ports) and 2650 (48 ports) is the vast difference in thoroughput and switching capacity, 2848 (Throughput: Up to 69.8 mpps; Switching capacity: 96 Gbps) having a higher capacity and 2650 (Throughput: 10.1 million pps; Routing/switching capacity: 13.6 Gbps).
So now, if there is a public switch for http/ftp/ssh and private switch for backups and there are about 35 servers connected to each switch, does it make sense if I go with 2800 for the private switch and 2600 for the public?
The basis of my conclusion is that on a public port with limited bandwidth, a user cannot continuously push close to 100mbps for long before running out of bandwidth. But on a private switch where the user has unlimited bandwidth and can push 100mbps continuously for longer periods and some of the users on the private switch might also have 1gbps port access.
1. I create my first domain aaa.com, plesk create c:intetpubvhostaaa.comhttpdocs,
2. now i create another domain bbb.com via plesk control panel, it creates both directory :
c:intetpubvhostaaa.combb.com
c:intetpubvhostbb.comhttpdocs
3.the issues here, after config DNS from domain provider, i access to domain bbb.com on the brower, plesk use the index file in c:intetpubvhostaaa.combb.com .
i want c:intetpubvhostbb.comhttpdocs is public directory folder for domain bbb.com
Sometime you must have gone to a cyber cafe or used public computers to access the internet or mail.
Public computers are most prone to password hacking. Anyone can simply install a keylogger software to hack your password. Keylogging is one of the most insidious threats to a users personal information. Passwords,credit card numbers,etc.
It is very easy for the keylogger to harvest passwords. Each and every keystroke (whatever you type on the keyboard) gets recorded in the keylogger software and the person installing it can easily view what you have typed in.
For example,if you go to hotmail.com and check your mails. Say your ID is aaabbbccc@hotmail.com and password is snoopy2,the keylogger software records your usename and password in its log file as
www.hotmail.comaaabbbccc@hotmail.comsnoopy2
Risky isnt it?
Theres a solution to this problem and you can easily fool the software!!
The keylogger software sees and records everything,but it doesnt understand what it sees,it does not know what to do with keys that are typed anywhere other than the password or user name fields.
So between successive keys of the password if you enter random keys,the keylogger software wont ever come to know where you typed in what..
In the process of recording the keys,the string that the keylogger receives will contain the password,but embedded in so much random junk that discovering it is infeasible.
So...
1. Go to hotmail.com or yahoo.com or any other site where you need to insert a password or PIN.
2. Type in your user ID.
3. Type in the first characterof the password.
4. Click on the address bar in the browser,type in some random charachters.
5. Again go to password field and type in the second character of the password and probably third too.
6. Again go to the address bar and type in a few more random characters.
7. Back to the password field and the next characters of the password.
Keep on repeating the process till you type in the full password in the password field.
Instead of the password snoopy2,the keylogger now gets:
www.hotmail.comspqmlainsdgsosdgfsodgfdpuouuyhdg2
Heres a total of 26 random characters have been inserted among the 7 characters of the actual password!
No doubt it takes a little bit of more time than the usual process,but you are safe and secure that way!
The 2848's can be had at pretty good prices these days. Don't think I'll be needing any fancy features out of these guys aside from vlaning, spanning tree, port channeling and some other basic commodities -- all of which should be cake for this switch.
I was going to pickup some 2950's, but considering these are only ~600 each in most cases..might as well.
I am setting up Vmware in a test server.
Did a ./vmware-config.pl and pressed enter for all the options.
I am seeing vmnet0 and vmnet8 in ifconfig result.
Now, the server has 16 IPs. Not even added to server. Just provided by DC..
I have created few nodes via vmware-web-console. The nodes are created without any issue.
Now..
I am not seeing any option in vmware-web-console to assign IP address to vmware nodes.
How do I assign my public interface IPs (provided by my DC) to every node?
I read someting about bridge networking.
