I tried installing CentOS 64bit using windows image and vnc that comes with HyperVM and it says (your cpu does not support long mode. use a 32 bit distribution), and if I try to install Windows Server 2008 I get blue screen with a stop and error.
View 5 RepliesThere's bloody heaps of them. Which one do I go for on my two new file servers? Which operating system out of these is the most common, has the most support, is most compatible? The server will be used to host videos and will run c-panel. A light weight OS is probably preferred but I really have no idea. And incase it helps, the servers have 512mb of ram, about 30 - 40GB of hDD (not actually sure) and an old AMD Duron.
CentOS
Debian
Direct Admin
Fedora
FreeBSD
Gentoo LiveCD
Redhat
Slackware
I have always used debian on my virtual machine but was just curious as to what OS people use for their hosting?
The company I am looking at moving to for hosting offer the following options:
* Debian
* Ubuntu Server
* Open Suse
* Free BSD
* Fedora Core
* CentOS
* Gentoo
* Slackware
* Windows 2003 Basic
* Windows 2003 Pro
I have heard from a lot of people that Freebsd is good for hosting but just wondering what your views are

We are currently building out our new server room and are currently unsure which UPS system to purchase.
Does any one have any experience with either the APC Symmetra LX or Liebert Nfinity systems? We require ~8kva. Both units appear to be very similar in specs and both allow expandability.
We have an older CardKey system in place here and are looking to do some updates. Anyone know of distributors of Pegasus software to manage the systems? Dealing with Johnson directly has been a huge pain and they are never around when you need them. I am in the Dallas area just looking for contacts on managing the systems.

my question is " how backorder systems work? " .
i dont want description of them, i know they check the domain over and over and register it as soon as be available.
what i mean is what system they do to check the availability of domain better ? public whois database's are caching and not return the realtime result.
so what they do ? do they contact directly to internic whois servers ? or they use "whois" linux command?
anybody know what they do to get realtime domain check?
to get a dedicated sql server 2005 box and am not sure the best operating system. These are my choices:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise - 64 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 32 bit
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise - 64 bit
This is the server I'm thinking of getting -
Dual Woodcrest Series - SATA Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core Processors 2 x 500GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM
Currently, I have my IIS web server and sql server 2005 on the same machine and it's just too bogged down. That one runs windows 2003 standard 32 bit on a Dual Xeon 2.8GHz Processor 2 x 80GB Hard Drive 4096 MB RAM

COMPANY X has colo racks in DATACENTER and hosts a client named COMPANY Y. COMPANY Y also hosts 50 small web sites on cpanel and 40 VPS servers on their linux VPS node in exchange for a discount or other compensation. During the month of may and COMPANY Y's bill raises from being 3000 past due to over 12000 past due to various reasons including purchasing of hds from the DATACENTER using COMPANY X's account, tech work dont by DATACENTER for COMPANY Y needed also billed to COMPANY X's account, as well as BW and rack costs. Seeing this alrming bill by the end of May COMPANY X begins putting pressure on COMPANY Y to pay some invoices as no payments were received during the entire month of may and COMPANY X is also having a hard time paying DATACENTER due to not being paid by COMPANY Y but makes efforts to pay 25% of the outstanding bill in June.
Near the end of june COMPANY X has had enough and arrives at the datacetner to attempt to move theritr clients off COMPANY Ys hardware so they can suspend service of COMPANY Y completely. On the visit COMPANY X brings 2 new servers in and begins moving clients of their over and COMPANY X notices this action and begins to suspend and remove access to all of COMPANY X's clients. COMPANY X then decided to power off the boxes of COMPANY Y and removes drives containing COMPANY X customer data for offline recovery. and because they beleived the DATACENTER might be untrustworthy enough to release hardware fromt heir rakcs without their permission. The drives were for as much colatteral purposes as for recoverying customer data. They then pack the drives in boxes and a bag and leave the datacenter having spent nearly 20 hours working and head on a long trip home and signs out of the data center in front of various techs holding the server parts and tools.
Upon arriving back to their office/home
They were informed that the removal of the HDs was not allowed byt he datacenter because the account was past due and it was discovered that several drives with cOMPANY X's clients were left in the datacenter which COMPANY X now wishes they had remembered to get. DATACENTER is furious and demands the account be paid in full by a fixed time or the entire colo will be cut power. COMPANY X scrambles to find others to help them and another major client who has alot at risk decides to help and a payment of $7160 is made to DATACETNER but it came in a few minutes past the deadline. DATACETNER had suspended servuce, and cut power but stated they wil return service shortly. Shortly after this it is discovered that several servers belonging to COMANY X and two other companies who were supsended in the same day were not int he rack anymore. DATACENTER accout rep responds with the following message in ICQ/AIM .....
Without having all of the operating systems at my disposal for testing, I would like to figure out a way to determine the operating system of a remotely accessed Linux machine.
It seems pretty strange though, since cPanel reports both machines I am using as being
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686, yet one's uname -a reports:
Code:
Linux hostsentry.crucialwebhost.com 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise #1 SMP Thu May 24 17:41:23 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Linux main.7kb.org 2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 4 21:36:00 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm assuming there is a way to determine the OS from this information. Anyone know how?
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?

I sharing File system using NFS between 2 mailservers running postfix on CentOS 5.2.The mail servers shares the base mail directory of virtual users e.g. /home/vmail.

Or is there any alternate solution for sharing data between servers?
I have had enough of email problems that constantly happen on a server. For about three weeks now I have been dealing with email issues that I am going out of my mind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a email scheme that will work. Here is what I would like to do. Disable Exim COMPLETELY. Either setup a server for email only or find a email solution. Email will be pointed ONLY by way of DNS.Once I get email fixed on this box it works for a day and next thing you know it's all messed up again. Somehow etc/localdomains and etc/remotedomains either vanish or get over written plus a bunch of other things including permissions.All I know is this is getting ridiculous.I don't want any sort of email system on this box. I want all my email to go though DNS only to another server. We already have on service that we use for Exchange, so all the MX Records point to that server, but email still has to interact with this server first, which I don't want it to.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a fair ammount of load on the server, and I want to cache as much as possible to reduce disk IO. The harddrive is a major bottleneck for performance. The server serve a lot of files larger than 10MB, so I want to cache as much of the files below 10mb as possible.
First off I want to cache around 200k thumbnail files, where around 1000 new gets added every day.
Secondly it would be preferred to cache dynamic files in a way that the file timestamp is checked at a regular interval, and then read again if timestamp has changed.
Is there any free solutions on windows with apache for this?

View 1 Replies View Relatedto ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment.
I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.
Thought this was pretty interesting...
