This probably belongs in another catagory but I like to get feedback from the colo crowd.
I'm looking for someone to do the initial server setup on a Windows Server 2003 box. I would like to install HELM and Coldfusion.
Is there anyone that can recommend a good company or freelancer to do this?
I'm getting a dedicated Windows server for my business web site (a classifieds service similar to AutoTrader, with e-commerce capabilities). I need to get someone for routine administration, but I don't know the first thing about it.
What are the general tasks that need to be done on a regular basis with a Windows host server? How many hours per week can I expect a professional admin to spend on these tasks? Starting out, the traffic will be on the low end, but I'm expecting 100,000+ users within a few months.
I tried to open Administration page for my Parallel Plesk Panel, but all the time it's show Loading and nothing happens. It's also not opening on the server trough https://localhost:8443 System redirect me to the address https://localhost:8443/sso/api.php?api=/ui and 10 minutes it's loading...

I know some very basic stuff when it comes to the Linux architecture and how to perform basic tasks via SSH, but would like to learn more so that I am more comfortable performing more complex tasks.

I only know Mike(y) through WHT, and over the years have had an opportunity to read his posts. I've previously contacted him asking for assistance with web design, but he remained humble and pointed me in another direction, with the explanation that my needs could be better met by a more experienced web designer (I'm not sure I agree).
For the past six months I've had a problem interpreting and responding to a support message by one of my VPS providers. I would imagine that the problem and solution were a relatively easy fix, but I needed someone to take the time to help me step-by-step. After contacting Mikey, he followed up with me immediately, and before quoting a price made sure he understood the scope of the problem.
Mike not only emailed me step-by-step instructions on fixing the problem, but he actually took time to explain how it worked. As a teacher I must say that he did a great job explaining the topic in a clear manner, and his willingness to answer follow up questions was very helpful.
The truth is I'm sure he's dealt with far more difficult server issues, but his level of professionalism and willingness to help were evident throughout this entire process. The value of services he provides, and his willingness to not only fix the problem, but also explain the steps, demonstrates his commitment to providing great customer service.
I am launching my site with Amazon EC2, which is a social network (webcams, videos, albums, etc)in PhP, Linux; and I am going to need someone who can do the virtual hands for me, site administration.

My question is: "Do Linux machines running LAMP hang / freeze often so that you cannot force a reboot remotely ?" - "Does it even happen on Linux boxes?"
I have a lot of experience with Windows machines but none with Linux. With a Windows machine I for sure would have to purchase a DRAC/LILO board.
Unfortunately, I don't have any production experience with Linux so I don't know the risk of having to go on site because Linux decided to completely freeze making remote management impossible. Of course this is not included any hardware outages.
Our company uses Google Apps for Domain (and we are very satisfied with it). Until recently, we were accessing our email via[url], but we then realized that it can be accessible via [url]by updating CNAME and MX records for our DNS zone. We have full access to WHM and cPanel.
However, what we are trying to accomplish, if possible, that, when someone types [url], it does NOT redirect him/her to [url], but it remains on that very domain. For example, the address for GMail inbox in that case would be [url]
I have a high level server that is in need of a place to live and also an administrator to handle backups, patches, and also to work with the software manufacturer to acheive different configurations.
I am not asking for names, but rather I need to know if there are services out there that are willing to do this. (Does this exist?)
I am having terrible luck with my existing host as their willingness to touch the server, even with no liability, has faded.
Where would someone go to learn Linux System Administration?
Are the Redhat courses worthwhile?
Any company rent Windows Server 2003 Web Edition ?
SPLA and External licenses ?
With Micfrosoft need pay 2,000$
I wait your answerds.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
Does someone know what that means? I can sometime choose this option if I want to buy a server.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
what is the fast and best way?

Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS. I have briefly looked into the problem and found the DefaultAppPool stopped, but after restarting it, it resets back to the stopped state when I once again browse to a hosted website.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?
I have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a number of dedicated servers at different hosting companies, all with 100mbps burstable ports, using several versions of Windows (2003 or 2008, Standard or Enterprise).
I've tried setting up FTP servers (the one that is part of IIS) on 4 of them, to transfer files between the servers. But, I can't get a single transfer to go faster than about 10-12Mbps. If I upload multiple files, each will go at right around 10-12Mbps (so I can get, say, ~50Mbps if transferring 5 files simultaneously). I've tried passive FTP, and I've tried tweaking the TCP settings (TcpWindowSize, GlobalTcpWindowSize, Tcp1323Opts), and the results are the same.
I'm about to deploy a site that needs ASP for the main application, but my client would like to use phpBB for their forum. I initially thought we'd have to get two hosts, one Windows and one Linux. But in doing some research, I see that some Windows hosting providers also provide PHP, and I am aware that PHP can be installed to run on IIS. My question is: is PHP under Windows any different that PHP under Linux? Are there any weird work-arounds that have to be dealt with? Or is it simple and straight-forward?
