Which Linux For Server
May 25, 2009
I have purchased a new server with a company that has very little support (but they are great for reasons that matters). I need help from experts here to answer the following question
Quote:
We do not offer Plesk or cPanel.
Which Linux do you want installed on the server ?
I plan to install Joomla and AmemberPro software on this server
Joomla Requirements:
"Basically any Linux distribution will be fine, but for Security and Stability Debian, for useability and ease of maintenance Fedora/CentOS"
AmemberPro Requirements
* PHP version 4.1.0 or newer;
* MySQL version 3.23 or newer;
* Apache WebServer (it usually only installed on Unix hostings, and almost never on Windows);
* Ability to run one ionCube Loader or Zend Optimizer.

I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?
The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.

I have a linux server for a video sharring site
The video encoder that I prefer to use will only work in a windows enviorment
The windows server would pass off the converted video to the Linux server.
Will a Samba server for Linux allow a Linux machine to connect and share files with a Windows machine work for this application.
Although it's probably a dumb question but can Linux and Windows exist on the same server?

trying to figure out how to get asp/aspx/asp.net working on my linux whm server....
so far i've tried installing mod_mono, both via whm as well as manually. also tried the perl module APACHE:ASP but no matter what i do it doens't work, a sample .asp page just shows regular code.
i've been told to try out chillisoft's ASP server (now owned by sun).
before i devote any more time or potentially waste more time on this, could someone point me out to a solution that actually WORKS? most of these tutorials i'm seeing are years old and most don't even work...

I have read some in this forum and the sites I saw linked to others seemed ok but none I've seen really gave me options on more bandwidth.
I figured I would just post what I need and my budget and see if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction and it be a site I havn't seen before.
I am currently with another dedicated provider that I will not name but I messed up something simple (I know what it is) while trying to add an ip to the box. I submitted a ticket Friday morning at 4am EST time explaing exactly what I need done, and how to do it just so they don't have to even research it. Needless to say the ticket was not even TOUCHED all day today (Friday) and now I am told it will not be looked at until Monday. This means I am without a server for the weekend unless I want to pay a good chunk for "emergency support". I personally find this absurd and think something simple should be a phone call away.
I typed all of this out to explain why I am looking for a new server.
I need a decent (but not hard core) processor, preferably not celeron or sempron.
Atleast 1 gig of ram and 100-200 gig or so HD. The biggest thing I need is transfer, I honestly do not care if its a 10 or 100Mbps port. I need atleast 3 to 4 TB (4000 GB) of transfer.
My price range is 100-150 USD a month.

Im running Debian Etch as a webserver, on a dell poweredge 2650, it has been working great, and a few months ago it was up a little over 100 days and it just stopped allowing me to login via ssh or ftp or webmin (which uses the linux password file). i couldnt even log in at the console so i just rebooted it (power switch) and then once it came back up it worked fine. and now about 100+ days later its doing the same exact thing. I must note that all the websites on the system are still working fine, apache and mysql have not been affected, however the mail system seems to have stopped again too. Has anyone else ever had this sort of problem?

Linux Fedora 5
I just got a letter from my dedicated host stating we had just been compromised. These servers just were set up last week! And there is nothing on them yet. The only thing I have done is modified the /etc/hosts file via SSH.
My servers are not even public yet. Can SSH'ing in from an unsecured wireless network make me vulnerable?
What do you guys think? Best way not to let this happen again?
Oh this is great :-| He's still logged in!

I have my site in asp scripting but it was suspended yesterday because of high resource usage on shared server. Thats why am looking for VPS, though it is difficult to find a good windows VPS, so i have decided to get a Linux VPS. But am confused that whether a linux vps will meet my requirement.
My site is using asp scripting with access databases on backend. I can host my access databases on a windows server and can provide the link in connection string. So, will webserver on a linux server be able to execute my asp scripting fine as IIS do on windows server.
Also i have music section that plays file in .wma format using windows media player, as i have used embedded object for windows media player. So there must be windows media player installed on linux server.
whether it is good decision to host site on linux server and will my objective be met in this case.

I have a dedicated server with a mail server on it. However we have been experiencing troubles with mails sent from not delivering to a lot of hosts. I believe it is something to do with the server not being a fully qualified domain. The server is running Debian Sarge Linux.
The solution we were thinking of was to change the server to just be a relay to the hosting company's pop mail account for the domains we have registered. Would this get around our client's filters? Also is it difficult to do?

1. I don't use nor will I EVER use cPanel (royal POS in my opinion). I might, however, have DirectAdmin installed (not sure yet)
2. CentOS 5, 64-bit edition
3. Apache 2.2 latest, MYSQL 5.1 latest, PHP 5.2 latest
I usually use appears to be super busy and just not able to get the job done. No slight on him, he has a busy work schedule. So I'm looking to go outside of my comfort zone and see other companies to use. I don't think I can use Platinum as I outright refuse to even discuss cPanel as an option. If I want an underperforming, unsecure and incompatible web and database server, I'll run Windows.
So I'm looking for the usual end-to-end hardening package. I'm too lazy to do it myself and I'll forget to do something. Any recommendations out there in WHT land?

There's supposed to be a virus on one of my server (called "cdpuvbhfzz"). Anyone has any idea on how to remove it? What software to install, what do do next. Also, is transferring an infected account on a different machine is also transferring a virus?
I am on CentOS 5, using cPanel.

Can I run both Windows & Linux on a dedicated server? I currently have a website hosted on a shared hosting Linux web server (uses PHP, MySQL). I want to use RED5, which seems a bit tricky to set up.
Why Windows?
I would feel more comfortable installing RED5 on a windows server (I think it'd be easier for me, no experience with Linux command line etc.).
Why Linux?
I'd prefer to keep the existing PHP/MySQL website on Linux because I have Apache specific settings.

I tried installing MRTG in my Linux Server by using help from -
[url]
What i have done till now is -
cd /usr/local/src
gunzip -c mrtg-2.16.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd mrtg-2.16.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mrtg-2
make
make install
After this i am unable to understand what to do, and how to start MRTG graphs.
* the next last step says,
CONFIGURATION
The next step is to configure mrtg for monitoring a network device. This is done by creating an mrtg.cfg file which defines what you want to monitor. Luckily, you don't have to dive straight in and start writing your own configuration file all by yourself. Together with mrtg you also got a copy of cfgmaker. This is a script you can point at a router of your choice; it will create a mrtg configuration file for you. You can find the script in the bin subdirectory.
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /home/httpd/mrtg'
--global 'Options[_]: bits,growright'
--output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
community@router.abc.xyz
This example above will create an mrtg config file in /home/mrtg/cfg assuming this is a directory visible on your webserver. You can read all about cfgmaker in cfgmaker. One area you might want to look at is the possibility of using --ifref=ip to prevent interface renumbering troubles from catching you.
^^ this is what i am not able to understand.
When i ran the script, (below mention) it gave many errors, how to resolve them ?
[root@c bin]# ./cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /home/httpd/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg eth0

I have Windows Server storage server. However I need to run some Linux scripts. Is it possible to run possibly VMWARE to have Linux so I can install the scripts use the Windows which has content to be used.
Kinda tricky I know but worth a shot.
Windows - Has all the content , but can't run scripts such as file hosting , streaming server (WMV wont do) , HTML/PHP server scripts.

Linux Storage Server Partitioning
We are puting together a Linux Storage server which will have 4 x 1TB SATA Hard Drives connected to Hardware raid configured at level 10.
We plan to use this box initially for NFS services but in the near future iSCSI targets so would like to make a setup optimal the first time.
What is the best way to layout the drive partition’s for this setup?
My thought is
-100MB /boot ext3
-Rest in LVM
--LVM Group
---LVM001 2048MB SWAP
---LVM002 10GB /
---LVM003 500GB /nfs
---LVM004 500GB /iscsi
Is this an efficient setup and provide a great deal of flexibility down the road? We will end up having more than one iscsi target running on this box in the end. Also does LVM experience a performance hit ?

how to configure linux so that it allows for two ip addresses on one machine?
I know this is possible because my server administrator setup one of my servers to have two different ip addresses so that I could have a static and dynamic http daemon (two different daemons but listening on different ips).
What do you need to configure?

We are just porting our site over to SoftLayer running linux, cPanel and two Raids (one for DB and one for OS).
What companies would you recommend for Dedicated Server Management?
We would also want this server management company to move the website and provide a suitable level of security going forward.
We do not have the people to manage the server (it is only a few of us plus application programmers). It is just that we need to keep costs reasonable. I do not want to pay more than $100 per month and would like to pay less.
