An Energy Efficient Server

May 31, 2009

I'm planning on putting together a small, efficient 1u server to run some windows applications. This is what I have planned for it, I'm attempting to keep it under 1 amp @ 120v. I've been having trouble finding benchmarks for similar setups.

ASUS RS100-E5/PI2 1U Barebone Server (220w PSU)

Efficient Migration

May 13, 2009

If you are migration a whole bunch of accounts from one server to another, what are some of the procedures you would take to minimize downtime.

For me, I would do it in the night. Move all the accounts to one server then change the IP of the nameservers.

Efficient Power Supply In Cases

Jun 6, 2008

I been invegistating into the 1U-3U Cases, and I been wondering about the power supply units that powers the boxes.

I know that Supermicro have very high efficiency power supply units in their chassis, but I am also wondering about the others, like Asus and Tyan chassis. Reason is that I am looking into purchasing servers, and I rather have those that have efficent power supply units in it than those stodgy Dell units, that is known for not quite efficient power supply units in it.

If anyone know of other 1U chassis that comes with efficient power units, I would like to know.

Efficient Rack Cooling - Hardware Placement

Aug 7, 2009

We are not rack dense in a standard 42 rack.

We currently put 2U solid spacers on the front. As well, I run the switch with the ports facing frontward and use a cable manager on top and bottom of the switches.

I can see from some of your pics in the other thread....that you place the networking equipment in reverse. It depends on how the fan is facing on the networking equipment as

I don't like to have fans facing the inlet portion of the rack.

Any theories or practices ya'll follow?

Energy Efficiency

Jun 9, 2007

Currently we are offering a base server that eats about .7 amps during normal usage as our most energy efficient dedicated product...

I was hoping we could start a discussion on energy efficient tech that we could possibly implement in our servers... not only save the environment in some small way, but allow us to put more servers on a 20 amp circuit and make us all more profitable.

Anyone using flash based drives? I'd assume, due to lack of moving parts these drives would be more energy efficient?

Are there any load based blowers and such? Cooling equipment that wouldn't be running 24/7 unless needed?

Join Two Energy Connections

Jun 2, 2007

Is there any device that allows me to connect two energy outlets in order to get the sum of theirs intensity (A)?

Example:
- Currently I have 2x 230V / 10A connections in my Rack
- I have a Switched Rack PDU of 32A that connect to a single energy outlet (I can´exceed the 7-8A in this device because of the outlet limit)

I would prefer to have a single 230V / 20A connection than 2x 230V/10A, however the NOC is unable to provide me that service. Is there anything I can do to bypass this problem?

Home Based Dev Platform And Green Energy

Jun 11, 2007

I have had a bunch of various servers in my garage for years and it's proved to be a lot cheaper than having to fork out for training courses to learn different os's.

Plus since i work from home it's handy to have a setup that has the same operating systems that i work with, mainly hpux, solaris n centos

A couple of years ago i decided to try and get it running off green energy.

From the renewable energy point of view i have 6 big 12v 110ah batteries from a datacenter ups that were being decomissioned, linked to a decent 2kw inverter i managed to pick up very cheap.

Batteries are topped by a couple of solar panels and a small wind turbine (both ebay bargains).

I dont run all the servers at the same time but i can have few running happily.

I was wondering whether anyone here has done anything similar?

I originally started the idea off just to run 12v lighting in the garage but when i got the ups batteries i thought i'd take it a stage further

Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server

May 8, 2007

I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.

What I've got running:

Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix

One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.

Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Don't Have Root Access To Server As It Is A Webfusion Dedicated Server

Oct 16, 2013

I 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??

Urchin 5 / Google A . Transfering From Server To Server (Serial Already Activated)

Nov 21, 2006

I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.

However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices

Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License

I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…

---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!

An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:

• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:

Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------

So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.

Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.

Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!

Cpanel Domain Name Server (DNS) Setting For Email On 2 Seperate Server

Nov 7, 2009

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.

However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.

My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

File Server Setup With Nginx...how Do I Choose The Config For The Server

Apr 22, 2009

I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?

Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Full Server Migration To New Server With Same Hostname?

Jul 20, 2015

I'm wondering whether it is possible to perform a full server migration to a new Plesk server with the same hostname or will Plesk give an error about the hostname being the same?

The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.

Cheap European Server For Small Game Server

Aug 31, 2008

I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.

Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.

Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.

Requirements:
Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20)
10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do
500MHz CPU is all cool
512MB or more RAM
5GB diskspace is enough
Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms)
Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered

If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.

Worth Upgrading To Quadcore Server (win2003 Server)?

Dec 8, 2008

Site is currently running on a single code single cpu p4 server. Am thinking of upgrading to a quad core Xeon server.

My site is pretty dynamic with lots of hits to php / mysql, and has trouble keeping up with the requests sometimes. Would a quadcore Xeon significantly help?

Server Software:
Windows 2003 Server
php 5.2.6
apache 2
mysql 4.1

Current Setup:
P4 2.8 single core/cpu.

Proposed setup
Xeon 3210 quadcore

I guess my confusion lies in the following:

1. Can win2003 server make use of the quadcores?
2. Does php / apache / mysql make use of the quadcores?
3. Will i see a significant increase in the amount of pages i can serve?

I am going to be buying a dedicated server from kimsufi Most likely the 2XL Package.

My streamers will be using my server aswell, On weekends we will be running 3-4 streams at a time, weekdays 1-2 at a time.

Spreading all the streams out, at anyone time we will have 300 viewers.

I need to know your advice on this before i go spending money.

How do i convert my dedi into a flash media server, i need red5 or something, thats all i know so far. My streamers wil be streaming to server with FME, And i also want it coded so that my streams can only be embedded on my site.

Basically i dont have a clue where to start, how long would it take me to set up etc....

Samba Server :: Can Linux And Windows Exist On The Same Server?

Jan 10, 2008

I have a linux server for a video sharring site

The video encoder that I prefer to use will only work in a windows enviorment

The windows server would pass off the converted video to the Linux server.

Will a Samba server for Linux allow a Linux machine to connect and share files with a Windows machine work for this application.

Although it's probably a dumb question but can Linux and Windows exist on the same server?
