Dedicated Or Reseller Setup With Virtualization Or Decent Chroot Setup
As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

How Do You Setup Reseller Account?
I'm curious, how do you all Cpanel server owners setup reseller accounts for clients? I find myself doing it this way (providing 2 static IP's, for ns1/ns2) 1. create reseller account 2. ssh > edit nameserverips and manually add ns1/ns2 to the two select IP's of choice 3. change account IP to first main static IP, in whm Any one else do it this way, or another method? I use WHMCS also, which creates the account automatically, but I have to edit nameserverips and appy ns1/ns2 manually in whm (A dns zone) manually. Also, I'm wanting to upgrade some of the PHP 4 / MYSQL 4 boxes to PHP 5 / MYSQL 5. Is it worth it, or not? If yes, what methods could I use to assure no side effects for some clients' scripts, or at least some method to help them should an issue arise?

DNS Setup And FTP Setup [LXAdmin/HyperVM]
I have learnt it is harder to setup than I initially expected (since I have just moved from a shared hosting service). I am in need of some help setting up my DNS servers, as I am very confused. Here is most of the info I know: 1) I am running HyperVM 2) I've installed LXAdmin 3) I own the domain (purchased from xeodomains.com) runemart.com 4) My VPS hostname is: vps.runemart.com 5) I know my IP 6) My host has said: 'For VPS customers that have a HyperVM login you can now host forward DNS on the DNS servers rdns1.vaserv.com (US)rdns2.vaserv.com (UK' And I am unsure what this means/how to do it. I am not sure if I need some more information to set up my DNS, however I am sure that I can get it if I do. Now, my questions begin. Firstly, I need to point my domain - runemart.com - somewhere. I believe I need to set up my DNS via HyperVM or LXAdmin so that they are something like: ns1.runemart.com and ns2.runemart.com. Though, is this correct? Am I able to set up my own actual domain name servers, or will my domain have to point at something like rdns2.vaserv.com? If anyone can assist me in this I would be very greatful, as I am waiting to get my website running. This is all I will ask for now, I will take it one step at a time =).

Dedicated Server Setup
So when you setup a new server, what should I do. I will only be running 1 site for now (vbulletin forum site), should I just install Apache, MySQL, Php, setup the DNS, etc. Or Should I just Install Plesk, and let that do it. Most Likely will just be running a 2.53Ghz Core2Duo, 4GB 250GB. I have setup a webserver before just basically though but think I could manage. I think that Plesk would make it easier but would also eat up resources, on the other hand though not having it would use less resources but require more configuration.

Dedicated Server - How To Setup CRON
I'm trying to help out a friend with a dedicated server setup however we both don't know too much about it. We've setup apache, perl, sql all the standard stuff but cannot for the life of us setup a CRON job for a particular script. The dedicated server control panel is: WHM Accelerated. Our current websites have been setup on the server under the same user account (master). There doesn't seem to be the usual "CPANEL" options which you usually get with shared hosting however.

How To Setup/maintain A Shared Or Dedicated Server
I've trawled the sitepoint forums but haven't found anything relating to this subject. I'm hoping someone out there has found themselves in a similar situation. As a brief summary, I work as a full time web designer for a company but also run my own web design business in my spare time. Within the next year I plan to go freelance which will hopefully leave with some spare time to learn dynamic web design as well as offer clients domain registration and hosting services. As a web designer, my knowledge of hosting is not that great, but I intend to learn. Currently, I work with a guy who sorts all this out for me. He has a shared server and pays a certain amount per month and charges me £XX a year per client to setup domains and hosting. I was wondering how much technical skill I need to set this up myself. With so many hosting packages out there, it's hard to know where to start. Should I buy a dedicated server and host my clients at home or go with the safer option and pay monthly for shared hosting?

Most Secure Dedicated Web Server Setup
I am seeking a little input from others who use multi-CPU machines with large memory as web servers and mysql servers. I will be more than happy to give additional information I might have overlooked if you need it. Just ask. We are starting to run more and more dedicated hosts running joomla applications. I've been trying to find the very best settings for both performance and security that I can for the servers to function well specifically with their joomla applications. Serves are not used for *anything* else at all. The servers are strictly used to serve up web pages. No need for anything other than what apache/php, joomla requires and a few other things such as ffmpeg, etc. I would like to remove all tools which aren't needed for such a server, leaving a bare minimum server which is less susceptible to hacking. I've never messed with the root account so wonder if I can simply not allow any access as root other than terminal, perhaps not even su by giving another account full root access and of course, while allowing the system to continue to function properly with the many things which must run as root. I would like to do this on all of my public machines which are of course behind firewalls. I also have load balancers and cache devices in front of the web servers but at this time, they are not activated so aren't in the realm of this question. Development is done in a separate environment and the data is pushed to the web server via private network to the web servers. This means no need for shared tools, FTP, or anything else which users would need in a shared environment. The servers are 8-way IBM, running linux and apache, php/APC. Servers have 32GB of memory and I can install up to 64GB. Databases are run on separate machines which are also dedicated only to running mysql databases. Same machines as above. Machines all run multiple network cards bonded as a single IP. So, my questions are; How can I best utilize my hardware to take advantage of their memory capacities. For example, on the web servers, I'd like to find the best settings for httpd.conf which takes advantage of the machines resources. On MySQL servers, I'd like to do the same as the above, taking the best advantage of the hardware/memory. For web serving and for joomla, I seek the very best security settings I can possibly get. I say best because since they aren't used by users, there is no need to have a lot of tools and access to these machines so it should not be a problem to tighten these machines up a great deal. Any input from those who have such experiences would be very welcome as I've been finding no one place for help on this.

Moving From VPS - Choosing Dedicated System Setup
I would really appreciate some advice about changing from a VPS to a dedicated server and getting a good 24/7 server management service I know I need more Ram than I’ve got now and I know I need a managed server. Beyond that I’m not sure what I need and all the info I’m reading is making me more uncertain and more worried about making the wrong decision. I moved from shared hosting to VPS a year ago. I have now started to outgrow the VPS. The VPS has 512 MB Ram, 10% Burstable Resources. The site has been up since the last crash for 78 days but it is maxing out the Ram during the busy parts of the day and has high load averages. There is one site on the VPS with static HTML pages. Last month’s figures were approximately 186,000 MB of Data transfer and 4,362000 page views. Average of 30,000 visitors per day I want to add another 4 or 5 sites small sites. Some of those will be XML feed sites. No forums, chat or reselling. So what to choose? 1.Operating System CentOS or Fedora Core Linux 6 2.Control Panel cPanel 11 or Parallels Pro 3.Processor Single Core or Dual Core 4.Ram 1GB or 2GB 5.Hard Drive Single with backup, RAID or RAID with backup drive Server Management Services and Monitoring 24/7 I’m using WebSite Pulse for monitoring at the moment and I’m very happy with them but they don’t do server management. I need a company to secure, protect, update and keep the server running 24/7 platinumservermanagement.com seem to offer a good service for only $29 per month. Don’t know what they are like. They only manage cPanel, don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Would appreciate other suggestions. Basically I’ve got to decide do I stick with current hosting service and move to a dedicated server choosing from the options I have listed or move to another hosting service offering managed VPS with more resources like wiredtree.com. Don’t know what Wired Tree is like just read about them in the forum.

Setup
There are a lot of tense people here lately..and I'll withhold the name the guilty party in this until I see when my next billing date is..should be interesting indeed. It is clear some of you need a good laugh. Silly me..I was always under the impression when a "VPS has been setup" message via email...it was actually setup. Nope. Actually..the vps is *NOT* setup. I have to wait another 24-48 hours for it to actually work. Mind you..I'm not talking about DNS at all..the fact remains..I have a setup email..and it ain't setup at all. No placeholder page via http..no power panel..no remote desktop..all tried with a raw ip address. The DNS has been setup, though. I'm going to keep a close eye on these folks for further fun. Sadly..my experience has been deplorable with people that play games like this on day one. In fact..I've never had day 30 with any of them.

New Setup
I've been using reseller accounts for a while but a major customer has decided their needs have grown to the point they want the server to be local for faster access and other things. Since they have been quite happy with my services so far, they want to let me carry on for them even though I've admitted to them I've never done the things they want before. So now I need to setup the Linux servers in a local datacenter and would appreciate some real ground advise on certain things. 1. Redundancy if the server fails So far my research indicates that this is known as a failover arrangement. It seems that the software to use are Heartbeat which monitors if the primary server's alive and DBRD which synchronizes changes to the drive data. Am I correct or missing something crucial in the middle somewhere? 2. Backup Website If for some reason the server is totally inaccessible, such as network failure, is there a way for visitors to be redirected to a site hosted on my current reseller account informing them that the site is currently unavailable and giving some basic contact information? 3. Bandwidth control The server is provided with a 5mbps connection. My client runs several web applications and would like to ensure speeds on certain applications for some customers. I understand it's possible to set up domains like www-client_normal_customers-com, www-client_premium_customers-com, www-client_staff_updaters-com using 3 different IP pointing to the same server. (using dashes because wht won't let me post urls...) Then is it possible to set things in such a way that premium IP and staff IP will always at least have 1mbps of bandwidth to use. E.g. 20 normal customers banging away at the server using the full 5mbps. 2 premium customers connects, the rest are automatically cap to 4mbps, giving the premium customers 1mbps to share. Then a staff logs in to update the database, normal customers get cap to 3mbps giving the staff 1 mbps to use and not affecting the premium customers.

NAS Setup
I am currently researching and evaluating Network Attached Storage systems and was wondering whether anyone out there has had previous experiences (good or bad) with any particular setup? I am particularly curious to know: 1- what kind of a performance hit I can expect when data is stored on a NAS and accessed via ethernet over iSCSI as opposed to regular SATA or SCSI. 2- what pre-built NAS system would you recommend for a system that requires about 8 TB of disk space for file data and needs to have 100% uptime? I've been looking at: [url] However I don't know what sort of limitations this hardware offers as far as simultaneous disk reads/writes go.

My understanding is that when a RAID is configured for drives, the drive will lose whatever data it has on it ? Is there no other way to construct a singular environment into a RAID mirror environment (by adding a drive and Card) without losing drive on one of the primary drives? Is this possible or am I SOL?

MSSQL - Setup
I have around 5 servers each running an instance of MSSQL. Four of them hold small databases (largest is 4GB) and all fairly active (I was monitoring the largest for around a minute with SQL Profiler and it used about 2000 rows). The largest server is used as a central database for logs for the above four servers. This server runs across 4 * 15k drives in RAID10, but the RAM is a huge bottleneck (64bit OS, 32bit MSSQL). I also watched this server for around a minute in SQL Profiler and saw around 2000 rows being used again. Now I'm looking to centralise everything into a single instance of MSSQL. I can't afford for MSSQL to be slow, but it will be housing 7 databases (3 'main' databases, 3 log databases, 1 misc. database). I'm looking at this: - 2 * Quad Core Xeon 5405 - 2.00GHz (Harpertown) - 12GB RAM - 250GB SATAII - Windows installation / Programs - 250GB SATAII - Backup drive, MSSQL transaction logs - 10 * 73GB SA-SCSI 10k (RAID10) - MSSQL instance, all databases here I'm just wondering if anyone could hazard a guess if this would be sufficient? I've tried to explain things the best I can. I guess to summarise would be that there are a lot of read and writes that would happen if I conbined all the databases into a single instance.

DNS Setup
We are currently setting up a VPS server, which will be used for a specific client portfolio that we are aquiring from another company. This is a Linux based server with WHM/Cpanel. However, we wish to set up DNS in the best possible way, since we need to host DNS for some vital ISP services also. I gather this probably means using a combination of DNS on the VPS server itself, as well as one or more other DNS servers in other physical locations. The VPS server itself is located in Amsterdam, while most clients are here in Norway - thus ensuring reliability for local clients is the most important consideration. Now some key questions: - How important is the physical location of the DNS servers, and where should these ideally be located? - Is a cluster solution the way to go - and is this supported by WHM/Cpanel? - We have Linux and Windows based servers on our local network; could these be used for DNS also? If so, tips on software needed?

The problem is that I have only a few of my useable IP’s on the firewall box but I don’t know how to put some of the others to use. What I would like to do is put my APC remote reboot switch and my KVM/IP on public IP’s which I think should be before the firewall. If this is correct please advise me on how to do this. Do I just get a switch or hub and hook this to the uplink and then distribute the IP’s through that? So I’ll have: Uplink from DC | | Switch/HUB | KVM/IP FIREWALL-->Servers APC SWITCH Please point out the errors of my ways.

All the domains on my server are using my own hosted nameservers, but now I have a new domain where I need to use a 3rd party DNS (gratisdns.dk). The settings on gratisdns.dk wasn't a big deal, but what on my own server? I created the domain through whm and it is set to use my own DNS just like the other domains. How do I change it to use the DNS from gratisdns.dk? This is how my zonefile looks like: Quote: ; Zone file for mynewdomain.dk $TTL 14400 @ 86400 IN SOA ns1.myownns.com. email.mydomain.com. ( 2007050801 ; serial, todays date+todays 86400 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 3600000 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds mynewdomain.dk. 86400 IN NS ns1.myownns.com. mynewdomain.dk. 86400 IN NS ns2.myownns.com. mynewdomain.dk. IN A 72.xxx.xxx.xxx localhost.mynewdomain.dk. IN A 127.0.0.1 mynewdomain.dk. IN MX 0 mynewdomain.dk. mail IN CNAME mynewdomain.dk. www IN CNAME mynewdomain.dk. ftp IN A 72.xxx.xx.xxx I guess I don't need the A record and Cname here since I set that up at gratisdns.dk? How should it look and are there anything else I need to change on my server?

Xwindows Setup
One of my clients (a community college) is switching to WebGui in 2008. They've installed it on a Linux server and I'm on a PC with Windows XP. My thinking is that I need an xwindows client to login in order to maintain the site. Am I thinking correctly? If so how do I go about doing it? Do I need cygwin? WINE, as in software ;-)? (Detailed steps would be great ... know of any websites with detailed instructions?) This gig is not paying a lot so I'm looking for opensource. Note: I do have a vpn client that I was using previously. Can that be used/reconfigured somehow?

Php Setup
I am trying to run my first PHP 5 application that I bought from SitePoint called "Using Ajax with your web applications" but am having lots of problems trying to configure it to run on Windows XP and IIS. I have installed Apache2.2 and PHP php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi I have made some changes and the last error message I got yesterday was this: No input file specified. I have tried to set the doc_root path in the .ini file to C:inetpub/wwwroot/finance/www and also delete it as I saw in some forums but to no avail. I have set my IIS alias to the "www" folder since it contains the index.php file. It also contains another file I do not know what it is used for (.htaccess) and I left it alone. [url] Today, when I tried to open the file again in IE, [url] I got the following error: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, claudiop@kmrsoftware.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. I would appreciate very much if someone could help me to sort this problem out. What do I have to do to get the server back and running and get it to work with this PHP application?

Postfix Setup
I've got virtualmin installed and configured and working beautifully, and I'm able to add email accounts and have them checked by dovecot. Now I'm trying to work the SMTP side of things, but I'm stuck. What's happening here is that when I attempt to send an email through Postfix, it replies with 'relay access denied' I've searched google and tried various things, but none of them have worked so far. I can post any configuration files you need. After I get this working, I get to add another domain and see if the settings work there too

Is it like make hosts like ns1 and ns2 and put the IPs from the server in the fileds? Then i have to put the nameservers fileds also ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com too. Or just making ns1 and ns2 hosts enough?

IIS 7 Setup And Use
I am having some trouble correctly setting up IIS 7 on Vista Business. I have used the standard resources and web casts from Microsoft to get IIS set up to run asp/asp.net applications. When I run them from the localhost they run perfectly and everything seems to be fine. What I am having trouble with is editing and updating websites based in the inetpub>wwwroot folder. I keep getting security messages and am unable to save edited file directly from studio. Is there a plain English (yes I am new to server management) tutorial to getting IIS 7 to work fully so that I can develop ASP.NET applications at home.
