Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
I have a client who says his site is currently down. He can not get to any sites on my dedicated server.
However, I can get to all sites just fine and have not seen any downtime. My host tech support says the server is online and responsive and has closed my ticket.
Ping tests (at www.just-ping.com) show severe packet loss from almost all locations (see screen shot below)
How else can I test if my server is visible from multiple locations? Are there other tools/sites I can try?
I already have a server in Malaysia that I am using to run an asain based site. Off a .asia domain.
I am currently in Malaysia just now and I noticed especially on the weekends the networks seem to slow alot in Malaysia due to everyone playing games at the Cyber Cafes (its what they do instead of pubs).
While back in home the UK the Internet seems super fast all the time due to are advanced infrustructure.
Now should I use my server in Malaysia (ultra cheap prices) to host the site so or get a server in Europe preferably America?
The pros i see for Malaysia is the potential brides in asia will get quick access to the site.
The pros for Europe or America is the customer base will get quick access.
I might be wrong about this, maybe the speed wont; be affected to much either way, but I am a newb
Also if i was to have both a server in America and one in Asia could I link them together under that same site name? and how would that work with the database?
We have a VPS with Media Temple. Their data center is somewhere on the westcoast. From time to time we have severe issues to connect from our Brooklyn/NY locations. We experienced the connectivity issue from 2 physical locations. Doing a tracert gave us a good result.
There are usually 4-8 users using our shop admin for order processing or the shopping cart for manual order entry. While they are having problems connecting from there, I can connect just fine from Calgary/AB, Canada. Most of the time no issues at all.
If anyone can help me in doing this, I'd appreciate it. I searched to see if anyone had already done this, but I didn't find anything so my apologies if this has been answered before.
Here's what I have: 1 dedicated server with a static ip of course and currently, I run all my sites off of this machine as well as my few clients. The server is running CentOS and Apache.
What I want to do is build a new server at my house/office and create a secondary webserver that mirrors my current setup. I've heard about using Rsync to do this, but I want to know if it'll allow for the balancing effect I'm looking for.
Rather than use this 2nd server as a backup only, I want also use it for dns resolution. Right now, all my sites are using two nameservers (NS1.2D.NET and NS2.2D.NET), but they both point to the same IP address at the same location. I want NS2.2D.NET to point to this 2nd server for redundancy (in case the other location goes down) and also for balancing (to spread traffic over two servers instead of just one).
Eventually what I'm going to do is move all my clients and websites to one location again, but my own location so I can save the expenses of dedicated hosting off-site. However, I want to use this setup as a test to see if my own location will be able to handle the traffic and such.
when I install apache on my machine I can open up port 80 on the router and allow outside access.
But, now here is the issue.
I have a p4 server which connects via ethernet to my apple mac. My apple mac connects to the internet via wireless. My apple mac has web sharing activated so the server can access the web. The server has OpenBSD 4.3 installed without X.
What I want to do is get my server online.
It's IP is 192.168.2.4, my macs IP is 192.168.1.1. In the router configuration how would I set it up? Would the router see 192.168.2.4?
I'm using a dedicated server for the first time and I want to access the PHP.ini file so that I can set up the mail() function and also enable error reporting.
However, all access has to be done remotely through a KVM console and I'm unsure what I need to do in order to get to the file that I want.
I have one server right now and will be adding a second server in the next 4-5 months. In the meantime I've upgraded the coding in my community site to act as if there is already two servers. Mainsite.com has all the php files, and a separate HD for mysql db only, [url] has all the user images and videos.
This problem I'm having right now is the permission to delete files from [url]via [url]
What I've Tried:
vsFTPd - it has a small footprint but its not reliable, needed to be restarted a few times while testing on the beta site.
usermod - this is messy, changing chmods, owners, grps... etc I tried all of that but still had problems getting the Mainsite to be part of the group without having to change all the chmods and grps.
NFS mount - haven't tried yet...
Does anyone run a multiple server site? My sites pretty big been around for 4yrs, and i've upgraded servers 3 times since then.
If i can't get this to work right my final option would be to continue to upgrade to a new server each year, everytime a bigger and faster server setup becomes available.
Current server Dual Xeon 5310 4gb, 3 x 146gb scsi/sas. The server is doing fine with this setup. But with the new site uprade and features it's going to top things out. I can keep throwing ram on the server and move mysql off site.
The site has little over 1mil users with about 60-70% of them being active daily...
id like to set up apache on a spare pc i have lying around, for local dev. id like to stick it in the back of a closet (no screen, kb or mouse) but im wondering how i can best access it from my main computers. is there some kind of decent and preferably free remote desktop application that can be used for this?
i know i can access the xampp installation via the ip address, but inevitably ill also have to access whatever OS i decide to install on it (xp or ubuntu)
I migrated my server on friday, and I changed the IP address of my DNS. There are still a few customers accessing the old server. What can I do? Is it possible to flush some persistent DNS cache somewhere?
My group is thinking about building a dual xeon clovertown server that we will be using to hosting multiple gaming servers. We currently have a server at The Planet but would like to get away from that since their high performance servers cost $300+ /month.
With that being said I will need somewhere to get the box coloed and having trouble finding providers that don't charge an arm and a leg for hosting.
I have admins in Las Vegas NV, Huston TX, and Memphis TN so anyone of those places I can get good latency too would be ideal.
The best deal so far I have found was colo4dallas that would cost us $100/month for colo and give us 200gig of bw but I would really like the server to be located in one of the cities I listed above incase something broke and we needed to send someone in.
Can anyone recommend a colo provider in one of those locations?
Anyone have information on the following states for Colo?
Virginia St. Louis D.C. Dallas
I'd like to get links to sites who offer these locations. I currently hold a deal with 1/2 Rack and 75.00 a meg with 5 carries. Trying to find different states to locate.
I was on this site a while ago and someone shared a link to a site that would ping a given IP from multiple locations around the globe and give the output. Does anyone know of a site that would do this?
We are currently looking for a location in Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Has anyone had any experiences with data centers in these locations? We are looking for 1U of space and around 1000GB of monthly data transfer. We'd like to find a good balance of price and quality.
This week there was some one who asked me if he would have 100% uptime having his web site hosting in 2 different locations, with one server name pointing to a webhost, and the other server name pointing to a second web host.
For instance I want to host example.com on WebHostA and WebHostB
WebHostA's DNS are ns1.webhosta.com ns2.webhosta.com
WebHostB's DNS are ns1.webhostb.com ns2.webhostb.com
And he would set for instance for example.com: ns1.webhostb.com ns1.webhosta.com
He doesn't have a database, just a static page. For e-mail, he would configure 2 e-mail accounts in his email client, using the IP address of both web hosts to make sure he doesn't lose emails.
Wouldn't that work? He should have 100% uptime this way,
I am relatively new to Apache and have a query. On an Apache 2.2 server I have built.
I have 2 urls coming in from 2 locations. I need to forward these urls on, one to a backend weblogic the other will be proxypass'ed on.
The problem I have is that the 2 URL's are identical incoming and outgoing so I am struggling to identify between them.
I have been able to manipulate one of the incoming URLs so it drops through the proxypass but when I rewrite it it then drops back into the proxypass.
How I can separate this traffic? I guess using virtualhosts would be ideal but are unfortunately not available for me. Restrictions on new IP addresses and ports. This is an example of the config.
I was wondering about what software can be used in a client-server architecture to collect bandwidth usage at one server, from several nodes at dispersed server locations.
Let us say I have two servers in two datacenters, and I want to collect the bandwidth usage (actual and 95th percentile) in a third server.
I understand collectd can do this in a client server setup, but I don't think it does 95th percentile. So I was looking for what other setups I can make easily.
After a few years with apache 2.2 I decided to try apache 2.4 Both are running on windows 7. I had to recompile my modules against the new api, but that was succesful. I am now confronted that the rewrite rule for one of my locations :
You know we done some great job on tweaking up WHMCS and also I think that we done some great job on setting up multi locations on WHMCS (almost 6
months hard work, almost hard…joke). Ok enough about us
So, actually we will show you some trick how to get coded WHMCS files work property for you.
You may think that it is another boring topic of how to or something, but unfortunately it’s not
I was looking for a lot of information of how to tweak up WHMCS and DirectAdmin together, but could find only bits and pieces of it…
In the mean time I would like to dedicate this topic to anyone who is currently seeking new web hosting services.
I had done one more post about how to get moving around hosting control panels, but still writing proper review about that confusing transfer process.
Choosing a web host for your business is one of the most important decisions you can make. If your site is down, your business is down. If you are
serious about your website and want to get solutions to your common hosting problems, this article will give you ten good reasons to choose for a global hosting company.

Please review any additional information maybe I forgot to mention something…
Also I got some bad reviews of my first post in forum; even some people treated my post as a spam, but in some way information sharing in not
I'd like to have the ability to offer hosting in two geographical and network diverse locations for both Apache and MySQL. Two entirely different instances, with different everything. ie: high avail to the max. Obviously the MySQL part is harder due to the dynamic nature.
I can appreciate the technical aspects of the question - such as data needing to replicate to 2 locations, dealing with static versus dynamic data, etc. In short, there's a few ways this could be done.
I've not been able to find a guide in my Google searches, but I'm sure this is something that has been setup before.
If you're someone with experience in having had set this up, perhaps it would be easiest if we just speak directly and work something out, either via payment or giving you a dedicated server on my network. My AIM name is IGSOBEHELPER.
Please note that I am hoping to start a technical discussion about this, hence I am not posting the message in the employment section. I hope this is not off topic because of this.
For my centos box I use PuTTY and that allows me to get into the server and make any changes I need. I am looking at getting a second server, this one a Windows 2003 machine and I was wondering how you mange those servers remotely. Is it done using command line or is their a gui app to connect to it remotely? Can I install something like pcAnywhere on it or is there something web server specific?
I noticed in apache access log most of ip belong to 127.0.0.1 and it access to hostname domain.(hostname.domain.com).Any idea why is that happening?I realy dont see sense in that.
Here is one example:255-6-0/0/30. 0.0012112900.00.000.57 127.0.0.1hostname.domain.comGET / HTTP/1.0
