I'm starting a webhosting business in the next few months (working on the panel), and was wondering what is the best method to limit the amount of disk usage the user can use? I know about Disk Quota, but that would be a pain to use. Is there anything built into IIS7?
Also, is it possible to use a SQL 05 DB for FTP user accounts with IIS7? If not, is there any other way to have FTP accounts *without* having to create a windows user account?
When a reseller create a service plan themselves...is there any way to limit the CPU and memory setting for the application pool to recycle on their own created plan?
we are looking for someone to assist us with configuring the ExpressionEngine CMS on a Windows 2008 server.
We have it runnining under fastCGI that supports php on IIS. We are running IIS7, and using the URL Rewrite Module on IIS7.
We are having a problem removing the index.php from the address bar using the URL Rewrite. It works on the interior pages but not on the homepage and because of this the 404 page is not working.
The mod rewrite module generate a web.config file that has this in it....
Background: I work for a small microsoft based web dev company who is slowly starting to do more PHP based work. To date we've run these sites (mostly WP) through IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 although this presents problems around mod rewrites etc.
We're at a stage where we can make a decision between upgrading our existing server to IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 which seems to have better support for running PHP and all it entails - OR - getting a Linux box.
As a developer my preference is for the Linux server although the finance department ain't too keen on paying for another server.
Question: Have you experienced any significant problems in hosting PHP on IIS7 on WS 2008 alongside .NET apps? Are there any concrete technical reasons why we shouldn't use this set up?
Sharing with everyone yesterday's official announcement of 'Windows Server 2008' being the name of Microsoft's next generation server platform.
The Windows Server 2008 product information Web site is now online here.
And also for IIS7 a Go Live license is now available with Beta 3 of Windows Server 2008 that allows you to put Windows2008/IIS7 into testing/production so that you can begin preparing your hosting services for next year when the product becomes generally available. Become a featured IIS7 Beta Hoster.
We're outgrowing our current bulk storage system and I'd like to solicit opinions.
With 2 TB disks and a 16 disk array, it's possible to have a single 28 TB volume (after deducting RAID5 parity overhead and a hot-spare disk). I've seen arrays from Aberdeen with 48 and 96 disks, for nearly 200 TB. Windows supports up to 256 TB per volume when 64K cluster sizes are used.
Our backup system uses a ton of storage space, and it would be far more convenient, and more efficient from a utilization standpoint, to access that space as a single volume.
Breaking it up into smaller chunks, such as 2 TB each, means we have to make a "best guess" on balancing actual need.
For example, if we assign 25 servers to each 2 TB volume for backup storage purposes, some volumes might only see 800 GB of consumption (remaining 1.2 TB allocated but not used) while other volumes might get 1.6 TB used (remaining 400 GB allocated but not used). Key concept: wasted space, because we have to over-estimate need to assure adequate headroom.
From the opposite viewpoint, if we had a sudden increase in need that exceeded the available space allocated to that volume, we'd have to move that server to a different volume. Key concept: increased admin workload to monitor and re-balance distribution as needed.
Now if we used one giant volume, there would be no guesswork, no "allocating more than we think is needed" for a bunch of small volumes. All servers share one huge common pot.
But there has to be a practical limit from a system-overhead standpoint. Our backup sets consist of a few multi-gigabyte files, so using 64K clusters will not cause much waste from slack space.
I'd like to get your opinions on maximum disk volume sizes from a practical standpoint.
I am getting problem , my package is 500MB and i have checked cpanel > file manager , there is showing disk usage 350 MB but there is no file under public_html/ and out of public_html/ directory , what can i do and why this is showing 350 MB disk usage but there is no files.
whm only shows this in server information area > disk usage
Code: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /usr/tmpDSK 243M 4.4M 226M 2% /tmp /tmp 243M 4.4M 226M 2% /var/tmp It is not showing actual disk space for sda1/sdb1
I restarted crond and that did not fix it, nor forced cpanel update.
I have a server running Apache 2 with php 5 as an apache module. There are 2 PHP scripts that get about 500k hits a day. These scripts have to parse data out of a remote webpage and display it on an image. They used to make loads go up to 40-50, but I have added a cache which only updates every 4 hours. This helped a lot, but loads are still around 10 when the script updates, and it slows down the server. Memory usage is fine. The server is an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ with 1 gb of ram and an 80GB SATA hard drive.
Here's `top` when the cache had just been cleared.

Idle CPU usage usually goes anywhere from 30%-0%. Is there any way to limit apache from using more than 75% cpu, or any other ways to drop cpu usage?
i have one centos dedicated server and cpanel i will going to apache status is very request link and 2 site are very high in the list and my apache worked very hard and going to down any hours of your seems i must how control it?
We have a questions for everyone and any help would be greatfull, we are looking to limit disk inodes on a per user basis or server wide. we would like to know if anyone ca referance us as to how this is accomplished.
I cannot trace where the usage is coming from. There is only one account on this box using 26GB. Its a centos/cpanel box. I checked /var/log and had already deleted audit.d directory. /usr/local/apache/domlogs and logs show almost nothing.
the above commands done nothing - really waste of time!
The cPanel asked my to contact my VPS provider and ask them to reinitialize quotas for your VE and possibly check further into the node to correct the issue. As for VPS provider they did some tests & told me that they "fixed" & can't find any issues on the node, but the problem is still exists.
asked by VPS provider to do: /scripts/fixquotas restart VPS /scripts/upcp --force
how to fix cPanel bug?
The attached image are proof of Disk usage not being updated in WHM & cPanel, as this account contains 17.6 MB (18,472,960 bytes).
what tools are available for Fedora 4 that allow an admin to set limits on how much memory and cpu usage clients can use. I have plesk 8 but I can't seem to find anything related to it in there, and I set up webmin as well,
How can I limit my dedicated server's resources ? For example, one of reseller provider's limits :
Quote:
Resellers may not use more than 2% CPU daily, 3% memory daily, run more than 10 simultaneous processes per user, allow any process to run for longer than 30 seconds CPU time, run any process that consumes more than 20% of available CPU at any time, or run any process that consumes more than 16 MB of memory. Databases are limited to 16 max user connections with a max query time of 8 seconds. Cron jobs must not execute more than once every 15 minutes and will be niced to 15 or greater.
I'm running Plesk 12.0.18 on Centos 7, recently I've got emails from backup service stating that it could not complete the backup due to insufficient space available on disk. Normally I have plenty of disk space available so I check the disk using the command
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 20G 2.3G 17G 13% / /dev/md2 91G 82G 4.4G 95% /var
it seems that /var has been growing up a lot, but if I run the command du -sh /var I get a total size of 5.7G (not 82G as stated before)
is Plesk calculating the wrong size or it's me using the wrong commands?
