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

Replace Linux With Windows Server Via Vkvm
I'm trying to replace my Linux OS with Windows Server 2003, which I already have a license. I'm talking about OVH Kimsufi XL. Following support's instructions, I booted my dedicated with netboot, specific with vkvm option. Then I specified an ftp location, (where there is my "totally working" .iso), and I started the virtual session. After some mins, a java windows appears, and starts the vnc session. After usual linux loading, it stops on this : Code: VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 0300 244198584 hda driver: ide-gd 0301 5245191 hda1 0302 238428687 hda2 0303 522112 hda3 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) And, besides I cant write a letter!

Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
At work, we have a windows 2003 server. We have a set of files that get modified from day to day. Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server. Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday. I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?

Dedicated Server - Run Windows & Linux
Can I run both Windows & Linux on a dedicated server? I currently have a website hosted on a shared hosting Linux web server (uses PHP, MySQL). I want to use RED5, which seems a bit tricky to set up. Why Windows? I would feel more comfortable installing RED5 on a windows server (I think it'd be easier for me, no experience with Linux command line etc.). Why Linux? I'd prefer to keep the existing PHP/MySQL website on Linux because I have Apache specific settings.

Server Dies :: Loaded It With Windows 2003 And Linux
I have a server that keeps dying on my mysteriously. I've loaded it with Windows 2003 and Linux. Both crash about once every other day. So I'm guessing this isn't a software issue, but a hardware one. When it crashes the screen turns blank. Only a hardware reboot will work. The power doesn't go off though. Anybody here experience something like this before? I'm guessing it's one of the following:Power supply CPU Motherboard However I'm thinking it's probably not the power supply as the server is relatively idle. I did stress test the server and it didn't crash then. The thing is, there are no event logs from the BIOS or anything.

How To Move 60GB Data From Windows Server To Linux
After long time consideration, selected linux eventually from singlehop, good company, good service. Now we got big problem. Since our forum has 60GB data, I have no idea how to move files over. If it was another windows server, I would just install a flashget (or similar download software) and put all HTTP links into it and just go to bed. The data has been ZIPed into dozens of files, 1-3 GB each. HTTP link are ready for downloading, like www.abc.com/files01.zip www.abc.com/files02.zip ........ www.abc.com/files50.zip I was wondering what's the best way to move data. Can we install a programme and put those links into it and download into my server? Thank you for your suggestion. I tried wget, seems not working, speed drops to 0 after 10 secs, don't know what reason.

How Do I Host Windows 2008 Server As A Guest OS On My Linux Dedi
How do I run a virtual instance of Windows server 2008 on my Linux dedi? Do I need to partition the server and create a VPS for this or can I run it on something like VMware? (Please look at my other thread here [url]t=857377 to learn more about my server, its resources and current config.) Why would I want to do this? Because my primary desktop OS is still Vista Ultimate 64 and I've invested a lot in Windows-based software and hardware--too much to make a total switch to Linux. But, I don't want to invest more than I have to in order to run a Windows server that allows my business partner to access documents remotely or for us to share various files securely and privately and still serve my mostly Windows-based clients and colleagues. I'm one of, well, two people I know who even use Linux (at least at the OS level and know it). Since my research shows I **can** do this on Centos 5, the responses that would be most useful to me would be those that focus on how I can do this successfully (even if it seems complicate; I can figure it out with help and/or direction) and what to consider or avoid when creating this virtual guest OS on my Linux dedi.

Email Arrive With -2 Hours Difference From Server Time Config.
On a rhel 5.3 + cpanel server, i have a time problem. Web apps, as joomla show articles with a -2 hours time difference, or even webmail clients like roundcube are showing a wrong time when an email arrives. It seems this apps are not picking up the server time. Both things (joomla and webmail) should use the configured server time. I know Joomla can be fixed using the time zone option, and webmail too.. but in a server with over 300 websites, there are many joomlas installations and even more mailboxes... /etc/sysconfig/clock have the right time zone.

Media Server Running Windows Server 2003 Std: Yes Or No
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.

Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box? Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?

Windows Media Server & Web Server
I have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Slow Server-to-server FTP'ing On Windows
I have a number of dedicated servers at different hosting companies, all with 100mbps burstable ports, using several versions of Windows (2003 or 2008, Standard or Enterprise). I've tried setting up FTP servers (the one that is part of IIS) on 4 of them, to transfer files between the servers. But, I can't get a single transfer to go faster than about 10-12Mbps. If I upload multiple files, each will go at right around 10-12Mbps (so I can get, say, ~50Mbps if transferring 5 files simultaneously). I've tried passive FTP, and I've tried tweaking the TCP settings (TcpWindowSize, GlobalTcpWindowSize, Tcp1323Opts), and the results are the same.

VMware Server Under Windows Server 2003
I yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS. I have briefly looked into the problem and found the DefaultAppPool stopped, but after restarting it, it resets back to the stopped state when I once again browse to a hosted website. Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?

Linux Server With 3-4 TB Transfer
I have read some in this forum and the sites I saw linked to others seemed ok but none I've seen really gave me options on more bandwidth. I figured I would just post what I need and my budget and see if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction and it be a site I havn't seen before. I am currently with another dedicated provider that I will not name but I messed up something simple (I know what it is) while trying to add an ip to the box. I submitted a ticket Friday morning at 4am EST time explaing exactly what I need done, and how to do it just so they don't have to even research it. Needless to say the ticket was not even TOUCHED all day today (Friday) and now I am told it will not be looked at until Monday. This means I am without a server for the weekend unless I want to pay a good chunk for "emergency support". I personally find this absurd and think something simple should be a phone call away. I typed all of this out to explain why I am looking for a new server. I need a decent (but not hard core) processor, preferably not celeron or sempron. Atleast 1 gig of ram and 100-200 gig or so HD. The biggest thing I need is transfer, I honestly do not care if its a 10 or 100Mbps port. I need atleast 3 to 4 TB (4000 GB) of transfer. My price range is 100-150 USD a month.

Linux Server Login
Im running Debian Etch as a webserver, on a dell poweredge 2650, it has been working great, and a few months ago it was up a little over 100 days and it just stopped allowing me to login via ssh or ftp or webmin (which uses the linux password file). i couldnt even log in at the console so i just rebooted it (power switch) and then once it came back up it worked fine. and now about 100+ days later its doing the same exact thing. I must note that all the websites on the system are still working fine, apache and mysql have not been affected, however the mail system seems to have stopped again too. Has anyone else ever had this sort of problem?
