View 2 Replies View RelatedCommon Managed Colocation
Nov 2, 2009I am writing an article about managed colocation (what it is, what are the benefits, how is it different from other hosting options, etc.).
What are some common questions you get from your customers regarding your managed colocation or managed services?
Do they see the value right away? Why are the hesitant? Is it clear to them which aspect of their server is under the control of the hosting company and which is still their responsibility?
How Common Is Port 8080
Aug 6, 2007I want to have a static server for my website which runs on the same machine as the dynamic server. I have read on the internet that port 8080 is a good alternative port to use.
Is common enough that it will work in all cases like port 80? And that it won't be blocked by firewalls and so on since it's not a service port (port < 1024).

Sep 9, 2007After install yum on my centOS 4.4 VPS, I ran yum update and got this error:
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by package glibc-dummy-centos-4
When I tried to install glibc-common, I got this error:
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by (installed) glibc-2.3.4-2.25.i686
glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.25 is needed by (installed) glibc-dummy-centos-4-2.3.4-2.25.swsoft.i386
When trying to install these other things, I get more dependency errors. I noticed that glibc-dummy-centos-4-2.3.4-2.25.swsoft.i386 was mentioned. I'm not sure what this is, but it's by SwSoft? Is this something I have to contact my provider about? Thanks.

View 14 Replies View RelatedMySQL's Error Code 28: What Are It's Common Causes And Other Pertinent
Nov 22, 2008This is part 1 of a personal tragic-comic narrative starring myself, a simple, unassuming end-user of value-based web hosting services, and the supreme villain of this pathetic tale, the Iago to my Othello, would be a verminous, sub-human parasite collective disguised as a professional web-hosting company in the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio.
Speaking of Shakespeare, it seems to this humble WHT supplicant that the comedy of errors authored by the entities in question, a craven crew of possum-bellied, pigeon-brained menagerie of cubicle-dwelling subhuman troglodytes masquerading as ethical business-persons and capable hosting providers, is so egregious that if a scale of measurement is ever devised for web-hosting incompetence, it should be named after this company, in recognition of their utter incompetence and arbitrary imbecilic buffoonery disguised as reasonable technical support and customer service.
Apparently this company thinks it's more important to use their scale-encrusted rat-tails to cover up their own mistakes instead of giving reasonable responses to customer questions regarding apparent server issues.
Which brings me to my initial question:
MySQL's docs say that Error Code 28 results from lack of disk space or write permissions.
What are the common causes of this? Who has the power to control it from happening, the web host or the end user?( in this arrangement, the host is running an overloaded server and controls all of the configurations and aspects of the server while the user is using secure software with moderate usage of bandwidth and database queries).
I have additional questions in regards to a more general issue regarding failure to write/open to directories as well, but I'll wait for some responses first.
Excellent forum, by the way.
Apache :: Basic Auth User Not Logged In Common Log File
Jul 18, 2013I use Basic Auth to limit access to a web site. This seems to work ok. I noticed though in the logs that the logged in user is not logged:
80.....188 - - [16/Jul/2013:09:56:29 +0200] "GET ..." 200 1844 "...." " ...
I would expect the second - to be replaced by the logged in user. The doc says, the user is logged if the document is protected. I do protect the whole directory using directory match. Without log in I fail to retrieve the document in question.

Getting GUI On New CentOS VPS
Oct 17, 2009linux and after several days testing different distributions and a bunch of different ways (e.g. freenx,vnc XFCE ...) I've decided to setup a vnc-server on CentOS-5-i386-minimal and use KDE as a desktop environment.
After reloading my vps with centos-5-i386-minimal, I logged in as root and executed:
Code:
yum update
yum -y groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
yum -y install vnc vnc-server firefox X11 xorg
I then added a user "abt" and set the password. Then I logged in as abt and execute : vncserver, it asked for the password and created the appropriate .vnc directory and files.
I then edited xstartup file and replaced "twm &" with "startkde &" and executed vncserver once again, this created desktop number 2 for me.
The problem is that after running TightVNC(on vista) and entering IPNUMBER:2, It successfully connects to vnc-server but what i get is a black screen with X cursor!

Feb 23, 2008I've just leased my first dedicated server from managemybox, which has come loaded with centos 4.5.
I need to install all the ffmpeg/transcoding junk - something I've done before...
...but now, I'm having huge issues. Yum and up2date don't seem to have *any* idea of where anything, from ffmpeg to flvtool2 is.
I'm crap at quite a bit (read most) of the command line stuff. Whadddoo I need to do? Why is yum telling me there are no matches for the damn stuff?
How can I get from A to B properly without the hassle?
I did have a VPS before, with memset.com - and all this stuff installed fine on Fedora 4 (it was a VMWare based VPS so everything worked, unlike the Xen based ones I've experienced).

Feb 2, 2007I would like to get a second opinion on this.

I have never heard this before and am new to doing colo and would like to verify this before I end up doing something I may forget?

Are there any caveats? Has anyone here tried doing a dist-upgrade to a new version (say CentOS 5)?
