Remote Dedicated Mysql Server
i am getting mysql down issues with my current dedicated server. I would like to move my database to a dedicated server where only mysql will be running. Just wondering if this will be faster than the localhost? I have planned to buy dedicated server from another hosting company so definitely there will be a good enough connectivity distance.

Users Cannot Connect To Remote MySQL Server
I have a few users that have a hosting account with me and are trying to connect to their own MySQL servers elsewhere. Both said that they are able to connect to the MySQL server with other hosting accounts but not the ones hosted with me. I asked if they had setup permissions to allow remote connections from my server and they confirmed that they did.

What am I missing? Do I need to configure my firewall somehow? I figured the connection is just using port 80 since it's from an PHP script right?

Allow Remote Mysql Access
I have a Ubuntu Lamp server setup in my building which is used for development purposes.

So I also have phpmyadmin setup and am using a Mysql Query browser and Mysql Administrator desktop programs to administor the database on the server. However I am not able to connect to the server from my desktop. I am able to login to my myphpadmin but not able to login via the Mysql Query Browser program.

Hopwing someone can help. I have read about port forwarding and also read a post about editing the my.cnf file on the server and changing the Bind-Address= 127.0.0.1 to the actual hostname but before I start editing the actual configuration files on the server I want to see if their is another way as I am worried that if I change the me.conf file that the phpmyadmin may stop working?

Remote MySQL 5.0 Hosting
I'm running a VPS at TekTonic.net and so far I have only one problem. I love TekTonic's services in general, but for some crazy reason, I can't get my MySQL server to work.

I've asked MySQL's support staff, and they haven't found an answer to date. I can do just about anything on my MySQL server EXCEPT add/remove a database, which creates a problem. A BIG problem.

what I'm looking for now is a remote MySQL host that will accept connections from my TekTonic-hosted VPS.

Connecting To Remote MySQL Failing
I'm facing some odd issues with 2 servers located in the same datacenter.

One server is the HTTP server, and every 5 minutes it works, then for 5 minutes Server One and Server Two (MySQL) hate each other and refuse to talk to each other. Not only can neither not connect to each others MySQL, but also neither can ping each other.

The odd thing is, Server Three can however connect to the Server Two MySQL with no problems during this period. It seems to be just the communication between Server One and Server Two that keeps getting halted.

I've tried "service iptables stop" to disable the firewall, and changing SELinux to disabled, but neither have fixed it.

Remote MYSQL (cPanel) Small Error
I have create a remote mysql database in whm for another server on my network. Now my problem is that the remote mysql in fact works as the data is still being pulled from it with mysql disabled on the main server. I did however put in the root password during the remote mysql server setup. Now the only problem I seem to be having is the databases dont show up in any cpanel accounts and phpmyadmin doesnt work. but all sites using a database made before this change still work.

Connect To Mysql From Many Remote Virtual Hosts
I have a set up where server 1 holds a mysql DB and a virtual host. server 2 holds many virtual hosts in apache (16) connecting to this DB.

The virtual hosts all hold the same script, but the single VH on server 1 receives about the same amount of visits as all the VHs of server 2.

server 1 is very busy at times, like 100% CPU and a load around 10 for long period of times.
server 2 is not very busy, around 30% CPU usage and 0.6 CPU load.

Yet, users on server 2 experience *much slower* response times than the ones on server 1.

The obvious reason could be the network between the two, but I'm not convinced (6 seconds for a query run from server 2 when it brings back 1 row and takes 0.01 second from server 1).

I was wondering what other reasons it could be.

The mysql processlist is weird:

Code:
mysql> show processlist;

Why so many sleeping processes from server 2, and none or almost none from server 1 ?
Is it normal that every query from server 2 is open on a different port ? Should they be grouped by virtual host, or is there one different port for each script running concurrently?

What could be a reason for server 2 having problems to open connections on server 1, and how to solve it?

Right now I'm about to deport more users from server 1 to new virtual hosts on server 2, hoping it will lower the load on the first machine and overall accelerate the response times. I just thought I'd post here first because this all seems very weird to me and i thought someone with an external look might tell me what I'm doing wrong. And also if network would be the problem maybe that's not the clever thing to do to make more users remote.

MySQL Remote Connection Problem After A Heavy Usage
I have 2 identical Fedora8 boxes with Apache 2.2.8, MySQL 5.0.45 and PhP 5.2.4. I use one as the Web+DB server (say box A), and the other (box B) just as the Web server connecting to the DB server on box A. I use this 2 machine configuration to test a LAMP based-Web application. I have a client program on other machines that can emulate a massive web workload to these 2 servers; it can emulate hundreds to thousands of users using the application simultaneously.

Before running the test, the connection to the DB server from both boxes seem fine. Using the mysql client program on either box A or B trying to connect to the DB, the connection goes through instantly. In the /etc/my.cnf file, I have max_connections=4096 and max_user_connections=4096. Note that the web app uses one single db user to connect to the db. To allow remote connection, I inserted one record into the user table of the mysql db whose the host field's value is '%' (allow connection from all remote hosts).

After running the test (which I found out that many requests sent to box B failed), mysql client program on box A is still able to connect to the db instantly; but the one on box B has a problem: it takes extremely long (5 - 10 minutes or even more) to establish the connection, it doesn't time out, just takes that long. I believe that's the cause for the failure of requests to box B.

Would I still have an INODE limit?

Would I be able to remove DNS settings as I keep having to ask my host to do this for me so I can create an account in WHM.

Also, what are these packages like?

VPS 1

* 10GB UK Web Space
* 100GB Bandwidth
* 128MB RAM
* Host unlimited domains
* RAID 1 Protected
* £15.00 Monthly Cost
* £180.00 Annual Cost

VPS 2

* 25GB UK Web Space
* 200GB Bandwidth
* 384MB RAM
* Host unlimited domains
* RAID 1 Protected
* £25.00 Monthly Cost
* £300.00 Annual Cost

LiteSpeed Advantages Vs. Apache
I know most webhosts run Apache and it seems to server their needs very well. However LiteSpeed is new and fast, assuming you have relatively static content. At least that's what I've heard. Beyond this, I don't know much, though a year ago I worked with a guy who hosted an iPhone software repository (smallish files, huge demand), and he put LiteSpeed on the servers to deal with the load. Running at 30+ Mbps, with spikes above 60, the server never went above 0.2 load as far as I remember, and it was just a 2GB Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz machine.

Advantages Of Using A Separate Host For Images
I'm starting to see this, or maybe it's always existed, but it seems like bigger sites are hosting their images on external servers. I've even seen some sites use Flickr as the host for all of their images. I guess for Flickr that means you have a guarenteed image CMS, but I really don't see that as why Flickr was created.

I'm sure there are bandwidth advantages, and maybe that's the main reason. Is there a point where the traffic gets so high that moving images off site would improve load times and sever loads? Is it a worthwhile endeavor for smaller sites? I'm curious to see what the thoughts are on this trend.

Disadvantages (and Advantages) Of Non-root VPS
I've been leaning toward going with WestHost for a medium-sized project. They offer VPS without root access, though, and much of the advice in the "HOW TO: Secure and Optimize your VPS" thread requires running commands as root.

My experience has all been with colocating my own servers in a data center, with everything accessible when I log in as root (though of course I ordinarily logged in as a normal user instead). This was three or four years ago, and a lot has changed since then.

Can someone who's up on this stuff please describe the pros and cons of non-root VPS service such as WestHost provides? Cost seems to be one advantage :-} and I imagine it's wise for inexpert Webmasters not to have a completely wide-open system. Are there other pluses to non-root VPS that aren't as obvious?

Most importantly, what kind of operations will I not be able to carry out if I go with WestHost or a similar non-root VPS host? Can I reasonably expect the hosting service to perform the kind of locking-down described in WHT's tutorial on VPS security?

I'll be asking similar questions of WestHost's support people but thought it would be a good idea to ask people without a stake in either the root-access or the non-root way of doing things.

I am just wondering if such internet marketing program can be considered as a significant competitive advantage stimulating customers to make a purchase?

VPS Advantages Over Shared & Recommended Hosts
Is it possible to get a rough description of the benefits of a VPS host over a shared host?

1) Support. Should support with a VPS host be better than my current shared provider? They offer live chat and a ticketing system. Tickets can take hours to get a response, live chat minutes but often there are no support operaters to answer the question.

2) Uptime. Will uptime be improved upon? My current host tends to range from 97%-99% in a month. Importantly will it suffer from soft outages where parts of the account are down (such as MySQL or http)?

3) Traffic. What levels of traffic will base VPS packages handle? Will a few semi active forums (say max 20 users on 3 forums) be manageable alongside several PHP/MySQL galleries and several hundred normal PHP pages?

4) Load. Does the load usage of other customers on the same server effect your account in the same way it does in a shared environment? Can one user bog down the entire server for everyone else?

5) Management. How much control is given to a user in managed VPS environment. Can you restart OS yourself (and do things like edit the firewall blocks)? Do you have to keep the OS (Linux in my case) and things like Apache and PHP up to date yourself or is that done for you.

6) Usage Policies. Are the usage policies in place in a VPS environment (limiting the amount of CPU process and memory you can use). If yes are they higher than in a shared environment.

Is it possible to get a little more on a few of the hosts I've looked at (if possible I'd like to be below the $50 a month mark).

JaguarPC ($20 / $40)
WiredTree ($50)
LiquidHost ($60)

Is it a case of picking any of these and getting a similar support and hosting service?

WiredTree seems to offer a decent compromise of price against value. Given that my site is still pretty small at the moment, would the smallest JaguarPC package be a better fit (so I'm not spending money for specs I'm not using).

Unfortunately disk space is a fairly big factor as the site uses quite a few image and small video files (I'm using something like 2GB at the moment but this would increase fairly rapidly over time). Does that mean a shared host is better suited for my needs?

Main Advantages Of VPS Over Shared Reseller Hosting
I know to some of you this may sound like a totally silly question. But I would like to know what the main advantages are if you have a VPS instead of a shared reseller hosting.

I notice some of the basic VPS packages give you 512MB of memory. Other than that, the rest of the stats seem to be along the lines of what you might get in an advanced reseller hosting plan such as one available from Reseller Zoom.

I am looking into VPS as a dedicated server is a little over my budget, however, I am not entirely clear what makes VPS better.

DB Server For Remote Client/server App
if there are any hosts you would recommend working with for hosting a DB app (MySQL or SQL Server is fine). The trick with many hosts is that the database is not made directly available to remote clients due to security reasons. What I'd like to do is provide the DB hosting for a client/server application we are developing. For many of these users, setting up and managing a database will be too complex, so I'd like to provide the hosting for them.

Additionally, we'll be starting small and will need room to grow -- probably up to fully dedicated hosting.

So -- any good experiences out there with this kind of hosting? It goes far beyond the usual specs of bandwidth, disk space, etc. into needing low server densities, high availability of the DB service, and most importantly, no plans to block remote access to DBs in the future...

New Server Without OS (Remote FTP Backup Server)
I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel.

The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn..

1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server.

- Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too.

- I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide?

2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside.
/sda/server1/
/sda/server2/
/sdb/server3/
/sdb/server4/
/sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server)
/sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server)
/sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server)
/sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server)

Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.

Remote Clamav Server
I would like to know if its possible and if someone is using a remote clamav server to check the messages against viruses.

We are running around 15 servers and all of them have the clamd installed, and we waste time upgrading the software, database and also monitoring many services that are exactly the same one.

Our idea is to setup a central server that those 15 servers will send the message for checking first.

We are running cPanel and Exim on those 15 servers.

We have implemented remote spamassassin checking this week and its working like a charm.

Getting Remote Access To My Server
I would like to setup my server to allow remote access from home. It's on an office network which is separated from the WAN by a router. So long as I'm on this network, I can access the server from any computer connected to it. I enter the https URL of my server through IE and it brings me to the helm interface (the one that comes with Windows Server 2003). I can click on Maintenance and then on Remote Desktop, and it opens a new window with the server's desktop displayed.

If I'm somewhere other than the office network, I can't access it. IE gives me a "can't find webpage" message (or something along those lines). How do I setup my server to access it from outside the office network. I'd prefer to have a similar graphical interface as Remote Desktop.

Email On A Remote Server Through Google
A client has told me that his brother wants to put the company email on a remote server through Google. Currently the email goes via the hosting company.

He has asked me to send his brother the username and password for "updating domain information" so he can demonstrate what he is suggesting.

I am not really sure what he wants (as I always set up email via the hosting company and am not familiar with any other way): domain details or hosting company details with the email passwords etc? If the latter, I am not too happy about giving him access to all the website files that I am responsible for.

Does anyone know what he is talking about?

Remote Backup Solution For Server
backup service for my dedicated server that can do the following:

Take backups of the server without my laptop being involved when the backup takes place.

(So I can take a vacation for two weeks and have my laptop turned off - while backups still taking place).

Strangely I have found it impossible to find such a service ... All services I have looked at require my laptop is turned on and running some software while backup of server is takeing place.

Dedicated Server With Remote Desktop
I am hoping to find a dedicated server with the following specs or similar...

Processor: 3.00GHz or 1.8GHz Dual Core
RAM: 1-3GB
Hard Drive: 20-50GB (Yes, I realize most dedicated servers don't have drives this small.)
Windows preferable
Remote Desktop Access
30 GB Bandwidth

I plan to use this for running autoclickers and that sort of thing so that I don't need to worry about them on my PC. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I realize this is an odd request.

Setting Up Remote Sql Server
i am trying to setup a remote sql server , the web server which runs everything but sql is cpanel/WHM and the SQL server is Centos 5. I have installed mysql on the SQL server and it is running.

When i put the information in cpanel for remote sql setup it comes up with an error of :

usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'IP Address' failed error: 'Host 'hostname' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "mysql has failed").

Is there something i have to enter in the remote sql server to allow the IP address of the cpanel server to be able to connect to the SQL server?.

Mount A Folder On A Remote Server
way that you could make a specific folder be on another server?

Meaning I have server1.

Server one has a folder "/backup" and that folder would really be a folder like an ftp folder on another server(server2).
