What Type Of Server And Os, Etc For Just File Serving- Small Files Like Under 10kb
I have a website that just serves small files, under 10kb most of them. I just need a server that lets me ftp the file to it, set up subdomains and domains for one website. Don't need to manage mysql or anything. Not even php. Just serve files.
A good fast OS? Something like lighttpd? Ioono?
I'm currently doing 600gb of bandwidth per month. I'm expecting to do about 1000gb by the end of the year. Would a small server like a pentium 4 be able to handle just serving files?

Speed Up Serving Large Files
I'm working on a web site which will basically be a flash games portal. I have a dedicated server running Apache 2 on a 100mbit dedicated line but my download speed for large files (flash files of over 5mbs) is really slow. I am thinking this is because of Apache but I don't know much about this. I've read that I should change for a lighter http server for serving static files. The way my server is set up is I have 2 virtual machines running, one doing the PHP processing and the other serving static files, both running Apache, so if I have to change HTTP server for the static files it would be very easy. Although I am not sure if this is necessary or if I can tune Apache to push files faster than this.

Serving & Playing Breeze FIles
Having trouble hosting Macromedia Breeze files on a brand new dedicated 2003 NT box. Anything I need to adjust? When someone visits the URL, it loads the presentation main screen, but it's supposed to auto-play several movies and it won't. It works fine locally and on 2 unix servers I tested it on, but not the new NT box. The weird thing is, if I remote desktop to that server, I can't play that presentation locally or server thru the linux boxes. I figured it was an extensions thing, but like I said the intro still does appear, and if I go to Adobe.com and play a new "Adobe Presenter" presentation - it works fine.

Static File Serving - Performance
I'm planning to setup a server ONLY for hosting of static binary files varying from few KB to few MB in size. I've seen some of the litespeedtech performance benchmarks, which you can find here: [url] From the "small static file" benchmark chart, i can see that IIS6 beats lighttpd in this test. So i'm wondering does the IIS6 really have better performance at file hosting than lighttpd. Actually it does not matter which operating system i will be using at this server, since i will use it only for file serving. With lots of concurrent connections. Possibly thousands of connections. I need some feedbacks on this, so i can decide, IIS or lighttpd. Few more bucks for win2k3 won't be an issue here, if it's performance is better than lighttpd for this kind of use.

FTP Timing Out When Uploading Small Files
There is a behavour with my server FTP when uploading a whole directory with many files in many sub-directories Very often, the server disconnect itself when actively uploading files and the log simply says 'timeout' It is as if the file got 'stuck' half way, and the FTP consider them as idle, therefore it disconnect you with a 'timeout' before reconnecting you. But i have no problem uploading a single 200mb file to the server via FTP. I suppose no problem with 'keep alive' So what is this behavior and how to solve it?

An Otherwise Great Performing Server Now Delays Prior To Serving PHP/mysql
One of my dedicateds (Fedora 7 / apache 1.39 / php5 mysql5) has been running flawlessly but now has a strange ~4-5 second delay when serving up PHP/mysql pages such as Wordpress. I say delay because it appears to think about it for several seconds, then when the page finally begins the refresh process, everything serves up lightning fast. Latency is low, direct file downloads are faster than ever. ModSecurity is running, and accounts for about 1 second of that delay (tested with it on and off), but the other 3-4 seconds is a mystery.

What Type Of Server To Handle
I have a client that asked me to educate myself about web hosting and make a recommendation to him about where he should be. He currently has a shared hosting server at Network Solutions and finds unexplained slow downs and disk corruption reports in his forums DB unacceptable. I'm glad I found this site-lots of good info but nothing like throwing up some stats and seeing what people recommend. The client told me he wanted to move to a dedicated server but I'm thinking a VPS might do the trick. Especially if upgraded with dedicated Core as well as RAM such as wiredtree is offering. Looking for a managed, Unix based server that in a typical month serves 100k unique visitors 230k page views 500Gb of downloads But needs to be easily upgradeable to handle his expected traffic levels in the next year of monthly visits in the order of: 250k unique visitors 600k page views 1.1Tb of throughput As far as features: *Currently they use about 15 gigs of disk space. Some of that is inefficient disk management but the bulk is them supporting previous software releases. *needs to be fully managed *US datacenter with all the features you guys would expect to have as far as backbone access, security, power backups, etc.. *Backups by provider. Let's say 5 gigs worth since the old software versions don't really need to be backed up.(I'll recommend his own backups as well) *Either plesk or cpanel *15 minute hardware SLA is what the client is asking for but i'd like to present some comparisons to 1 hour SLA companies to see how much he'd save. And finally, i tried to search for the answer to this but the keywords kept bringing up lots of hits without good info. The client sells software so the bandwidth needed is pretty consistent until they release a new version. Then it skyrockets to the point they may have 1500 people trying to download a 50Meg file simultaneously. What is the right way to handle that? Use a CDN or negotiate with the hosting provider to provide burstable bandwidth as needed. As a side note while looking at many offerings I was most surprised that bandwidth seems to sold in large chunks with overage costs hidden.

New Type Of Server Attack
I think I'm experiencing some type of alternative to a DDoS attack. My server is being killed by thousands of emails being sent to fake accounts on my server. I'm not a server administrator, so please bear with me. My load average is skyrocking to 800.xx at times. I look at "top" and see "exim" for one specific user on my server. I own all the websites on my server, by the way. When I look at my email queue, I see thousands of emails coming in to accounts that don't exist for that specific user. Let's say the domain name is salcollaziano.com. Somebody is sending spam to various salcollaziano.com aliases that don't exist. Like webmaster -at- salcollaziano.com and suzy -at- salcollaziano.com. How can I prevent these spam emails from having any interaction with my server? It's causing me a lot of downtime on all the sites I have running on that particular server.

Prevent PHP Files Used For File Uploading
It appears that some people like to take advantage of those files for online web applications such as Wordpress which have php files with permissions set to 777. They use those as a means of creating an upload file. The upload files that they create then have access to the whole server somehow... Is there anyway of preventing this from happening?

The first type has only one advantage and this is that it allows to utilize existing infrastructure, while the second type offers more effective network throughput and (what's more important for me as an end-user) allows for better video and audio quality and support of the advanced features. Now looking at the hosting plans how do I tell which type of server is used by the host? I'm interested in this particular plan [url]

Use .htaccess File To Allow Access To Zip Files Only From My Script
I have download manager script that I use for my customers to download products right after the purchase. Script generates download link that looks like this: http://www.yourwebsite.com/download/...582921B&p=1840 (where 2YY6582921B is receipt number that is different with each purchase). All products are placed in one folder. This folder can not be seen in above download url, but can be accessed thru browser and files can be downloaded that way without paying for them. Can I use .htaccess and if yes how, to protect all product files the way that they can not be accessed directly by visiting url thru browser (in case somebody will find the correct url), they should be allowed for access only for my download manager script.

SSH Or Program How To File Replace Lots Of Files

I want a way so I can do a single command either a program or an SSH command can find the syntax in the files and replace it will code I have. Its just a single line of code that is basically for an adsense code, so the pub-blahblahblah etc.. Does anyone know of a SSH command I can use, or a program that will find and replace without manually opening up each file? 80k - 90k of opening files then find/replace will take forever!

Domain Name Server (DNS) Type Questions
I'm rather new to hosting so I still don't get everything, but maybe you can help me. I am hosting a web page on a computer that is hooked into the same network as my personal computer. They are both hooked into an openBSD router, which has the connection to the internet. My recently purchased domain name is set to forward all requests directly to the computer with the website on it (named 'b2.') When you visit the domain from an outside computer it does this just fine, but when you try to access it from one of the computers on my network it does not work. From my computer you can not access the website from the domain, but you can still access it just straight through the local network (i.e. typing 'b2' directly into the address bar ) From the computer which is actually the host to the website, it is accessible neither way, though the local network option was working before. Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it? Keep in mind that I really only understand the basics of web hosting, and terminology and stuff.

File Size (content Length) Not Showing When Downloading Files
When I download a file from my server, only specific extensions are working. This is really annoying since I want to be able to see how much time left to finish a download. For example I uploaded a video with .vob extension file.vob --> does not show filesize when downloading If I rename the same file to different extension: file.avi --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.mp3 --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.rar --> works fine shows filesize when downloading file.mp4 --> does not show filesize when downloading file.wmv --> does not show filesize when downloading These are direct download links, not using any download scripts or anything. Why are some extensions displaying the filesize and some not displaying them? I am using Apache 2.x server.

WHM Not Listing Account, DNS Etc, Missing Files, File System
I recently had an issue where my box wasnt listing accounts (on logging into WHM for the first time it would, thereafter browsing different functions in WHM it would fail to list any accounts), would not list any zone items when editing DNS zones and in general was acting very strange. I think the tech support chap narrowed it down to zero free inodes on the filesystem (i was even getting errors when editing files with 'vi'). This was increased for the VPS and all issues seemed to be resolved... However named and httpd were not starting after reboots. Again on looking closely named and httpd were missing from /etc/init.d (on CentOS 5.3)! This is very strange and i certainly didnt modify those nor delete such critical files. For a second opinion, is there any cPanel script that can be ran to fix the issues, i am concerned other things have been affected but havent manifested themselves yet (other files deleted etc). Does cPanel update script create the init.d files or is this done by the CentOS operating systems itself? Are these files modified during a cPanel update script? These init.d files for named and httpd have been readded (copied across from another box) and it seems to be ok again, but ideas on howto proceed much appreciated, as i mentioned i dont want any nasty supprises!

Cheap European Server For Small Game Server
I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing. Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box. Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe. Requirements: Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20) 10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do 500MHz CPU is all cool 512MB or more RAM 5GB diskspace is enough Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms) Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.

Small Business Server Will Not Boot
I have set up Windows Small Business Server 2003 and was testing it over the past week. Everything has been going well and yesterday it requested to install an update (not to sure what it was now) and soon after the update was installed a restart was required. After the server shutdown and tried to restart the system will not restart. The machine powers up and then I am faced with a blank black screen (no load bar nothing). The monitor led light flashes from green to orange then to a static green light after the Dell splash screen. I can load up into safe mode although I do not know how to work out what is wrong. I am guessing the update has caused the issue, possibly a boot sector needs repairing. There are no new additions to control panel -> install/remove programs which i believe is where all updates can be uninstalled from.

Setting Up A New Server For Small Data Transfers
I am an end-program computer engineering student. I have experience with programming languages such as C++, Java and various others but have very little experience with web based applications and hosting. I am working on a project for my local chapter of Engineering regulators. Once a year, they hold a popsicle stick bridge building competition in different areas of the province and measure and record the maximum force that each bridge can withstand before breaking. I am tasked with measuring this data for each bridge and displaying it on a GUI. There are approximately 5 of these competitions held in the same week, each in a different area of the province. I would like to bring the data recorded in each competition online so that the competitions can be linked together regardless of geographic location. To do this I would need some very small scale web hosting. These competitions tak place only once a year and the amount of data sent to the server from each competition is minimal - approximately 5 entries per bridge (number, weight, max load, owner, age group) for about 200 bridges. Each competition would sample this data at regular intervals so that they can compare their top scores with those of different locations. I have come here for some advice on the best way to set this up. I have considered the following options: 1. Purchasing server space online - This seems to come at too high a cost ($10/month is the minimum that I could find) and come with more space and speed than is required for this purpose. 2. Setting up my own server space online - This would require a dedicated PC running at all times for a long period of time (it will probably be 10-15 years before this system is redesigned). This system needs to be self maintaining as once I am off this project it will not have IT support. 3. Using the engineering regulators website space to host this data - They have a website already and I may be able to keep this data there, however, I am unsure about accessibility of this space. This database will have to be accessed by a Java or C++ based program as the GUI will be written in one of those languages, and I am note sure if this type of webspace supports the commands needed to access this information.

Small LAMP VPS For Primary DNS Server
Because of the security issues inherent in controlling DNS servers on other VPS/servers that run other processes, host websites and store mission-critical data and for other reasons related to control, we want to keep our DNS server separate from our other servers and our own desktops. Therefore, we're going to get a small VPS for this purpose. We won't totally cheap out on this so we'll be getting a quality VPS from a good provider. But, we probably don't need more than 5 or 10G of HD space but we wonder how much RAM and bandwidth we need to run something like MyDNS with MyDNSConfig with a MySQL backend. Also, what's the best Linux distro for this kind of thing? We use CentOS with facility but are not afraid to try a new one if it's a better choice for this purpose.

Serving Data From 2 Hard Disks
I have a server with 2 hard drives, say drive A and drive B. Right now all my files, database and data is on drive A, and drive B is empty. Since I have another drive available, I want to split the load between the two drives. I'm ok with having the web pages and the database on one drive. I mostly want to just have the data (I have about 500GB of data) split between the two drives. Note that I want to avoid duplicating the data. I want to have each file on either drive A XOR drive B. Should I map a separate subdomain to drive B and then use that subdomain to serve the half of the data thats there? Is there something I can do with hard/soft links on the server so that even though the data is on 2 drives, users still use the same url to access data on either drive? Any other options?

10 Second Lag Serving Static HTML
this isn't my server, so I don't have a lot of information about it, other than it's a Linux/Apache Dedicated server at EV1. (cPanel/WHM) There are other sites on the server, and they are running fine. One site has a terrible lag. It takes about 10 seconds to serve up a static HTML file.. Now, it's not like the server is slow. It's like this: You request a small HTML file. The site sits and thinks about it for about 10 seconds, and then after that everything processes quickly. The forum on the site is the same way. Everything you click on works fine and loads quickly after that initial delay passes. Is there a common configuration problem that might be causing this? If you want to see this phenomenon, here are a few test files: [url] [url] [url] [url]

Apache Serving Blank Pages
I am having this issue with a new box where Apache at random serves blank pages and won't serve anything but until it's restarted. I see no errors in /var/log/messages either to show why this is happening. It's not all pages either just several various ones. I know it's not a programming issue either because the only thing the server is running is one instance of vBulletin. I look at top during this and CPU and RAM usage are very low. The only fix to get Apache to serve the pages is to restart it. Anyone have any clues on what it could be? I set my php.ini memory limit to a gig (I have 16 gigs in the sever)

Preferred Operating System For Web Serving
I have been online since 95 and I've got a lot of information I could help others with regarding web development and interface design. One thing I'm terrible at is System Administration, but I'm getting better and my first step is to pick a reliable operating system for both the webservers and the database servers. Would anyone be willing to answer the following questions or point me to a thread that already discusses these? A little background, our site has 200k members, 30k active and is growing by about 5k a week. We still run MySQL 4.0.27 on the DB servers and they are running FC2. The webservers are Apache 1.3.37 and PHP 4.4.2 running FC2 and FC4 as well. My questions 1. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the web servers? and a "few" reasons why? 2. What OS would you prefer to upgrade to for the database servers? and a "few" reasons why?

Problem Serving Gzipped Static Content
I'm trying to serve as much gzipped content as possible on my web site. I will gzip dynamic pages on the fly using PHP, and I plan to gzip static content just one time, not to use much CPU, and serve css.gz, .js.gz files, etc... So, I uploaded a test.html file and a .css file that changes the color of the text to red. I gzipped the css file: %gzip style.css I also uploaded an .htaccess file with this content: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /gzip/ RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING} gzip RewriteRule ^(([^.]+.)+)css$ /$1css.gz For now I'm not going to include any gunzipped style sheet, just to make sure my browser picks the gzipped style sheet. I also uploaded a phpinfo.php file to make sure I have mod_gzip. So, here's the list of files I have: - .htaccess - style.css.gz - test.html - phpinfo.php But when I open the test.html file: [url] the style sheet isn't applied. If I upload a regular style.css file, it works fine. It seems the Rewrite rules aren't taken into account. Do you know how I could server the gzipped style sheet instead?

What Type Of Node Would You Rather Be On
Well the age old question for virtual servers, would you rather a host put all his eggs into one basket "monster node" or several smaller ones. From a provider standpoint one server is easier to manage than several, although if that one goes down, all your customers do with it. Lower costs for the provider, s/he can then pass the savings along. Example Package:"2GB Ram Packages, 500GB bandwidth, and 20GB space." The "EXAMPLE" Specs. All in one Max Clients: 126 4U Rackmount, 4 Quad Cores, "16 total cores" 256GB DDR2, 8 600GB SAS 10k, RAID10 Several Server setup: Max Clients: 14 1U Rackmounts, Single Quad Core, "4 cores" 32GB DDR2, 2 300GB SAS 10k, RAID1 If you could tell me why you picked either or.

Which Type Of Web Hosting
I need to switch two corporate web sites from a provider which has been providing spotty up time and poor reliability especially on their email servers; worst thing about them is that when they're down we get no notice, until we notice or customers complain. We've had outages for email that lasted as long as 72 hours. I'm not sure how our service is configured there, but I would guess shared hosting. I understand the differences in shared hosting, virtual private or dedicated server, and dedicated hosting unmanaged or managed. What I'm not sure about is what would be best for our needs. If I dont get other advice, I'll probably sign up for shared hosting with a provider that has other service types available. We do not do any E-commerce, but our website is our advertising and if we're down we can lose sales. Our customers need access to documentation downloads and get upset if we're down. Our current site has shown these statistics on average per day: 3000-4000 hits, 3000-4000 files 200 visits. Our monthly bandwidth was a maximum of 2GB over the past year. We need less than 50 email addresses. Phone support is necessary, 24/7 would be nice. We need server monitoring and security, good uptime and reliability statistics or a guarantee. Control panel and statistics would be nice. We dont need any website design tools. I've used Futurequest for a website in the past but their geared to E-Commerce and have no phone support. I have some websites registered with Dotster but they're very light on support. A colleague has used Lunarpages for similar businesses, I think, and he recommended them. He indicated they were good for him with phone support. If you're still reading, I'd appreciate any guidance, both for type of service and for specific providers.

Content Type Setup
I have the following problem with character encoding. We use utf8 in our database and generate html pages where content type is also set to utf8. If I check the source code it really shows utf8 in the head section. However if I check header of the server answer (Note, this is not in the html) it reports an iso-8859-2 content type and it seems the browser takes this value and not the value from the html head. How can I set the content type of the server header to utf8?

New Type Of Hosting Affiliate
on my internet travels today I found a site that provides a warranty on web hosts. I'm not entirely sure of the details so I can't really comment on it but I found it rather interesting. Anyway, some deeper digger found that this site is merely a rebranded hosting affiliate, with their top provider rank held by the one and only, Bluehost!

Movable Type Installation
I am trying to install movable type on blue host linux servers. Perl 5.8.8 came already installed added the following modules * DBI * Image::Size * CGI::Cookie A MySQL database was installed using cPanel. After naming it "movabletype" it was automatically named "username_movabletype". Not sure if that matters. File locatations: /public_html/mt-static (support directory is writable) /public_html/cgi-bin/mt (permission 755 was enabled for cgi files) When trying to install by entering the file location in a web browser, it says it cannot be located, unknown error.
