Im running a windows 2003 web edition server with apache 2.2.4 installed and a ported module; mod_dosEvasive, my server is vurnable for some sort of single machine dos attack. Not only my own server is vurnable but basically ANY apache 2.2.4 win32 server, even without additional modules (lik php) installed ( i checked by installing apache2 on 4 machines, all vurnable)
The tool used to attack apache is described here:
[url]
When attacked by the specific syn flood attack apache2 becomes useless and doesnt send any responses out anymore. When the attacker stops sending this flood Apache starts responding again.
how to secure a windows apache server against such an attack?
I'm working on a web project, using ASP.NET and Sql Server, and am curious at W2k3 hosting. Do hosts give you a remote desktop login to configure whatever you need to configure?
According to microsoft, Only SQL Express 2005 can be installed on windows 2003 web edition. N other sql server editions allowed. Sure, ok. So I downloaded express (SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE) and go to install. Install always stops (shuts down) with no warning ...
smooth Microsoft, really smooth.
-- And before anybody chimes in. Yes .net 2.0 and 3.0 are installed.
I have win2003 server running IIS hosting an asp website, I am wanting to use CDONTS to send emails.
I am no pro and not really sure what I am doing with setting up the server for SMTP. I have installed SMTP Virtual Server but do not know what settings I need or what else I need to setup to get it to work.
I have always used hosted space before where it is all setup for me.
* I have a Windows 2003 Professional Edition server with 8GB installed.
* /PAE is enabled to use more than 4GB memory multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut /PAE
* I can see 8GB installed in the Task Manager
* This server is not for hosting but for running some cpu intensive applications. (I am not into webhosting industry)
But the maximum I ever seen been used is 4.66GB, and after that I run often into "Memory allocation failed" "Out of memory exception" application error.
How to use the full 8gb? Or is my box configured to use 8gb? Or is it dependent on application. Do I need a memory manager third-party software?
Running A Windows 2003 Server at co-location. I just looked at my event viewer security log and am stunned to see thousands of Failure Audit logon attempts. They have been trying since Saturday at 9:43pm, till currently. Almost all of them failed, but a few were successfull. All of the successfull attempt appear to be:
How do I lock this down? How can I block these guys from trying to login? The IPS are coming from all over the world though. I did whois for a few, and they range from Poland, Russia, to China.
I have a problem connecting to my win2003 server from my work. The thing is that everything is turned off. I dont have administration rights. The remote connection in win xp doesnt work, telnet also dont work. Im behind proxy, all ports are closed. Is there any way, to install software on my server or smth else, so somehow i could connecti to my server remotely? I need to be able to connect to gui interface or maybe just be able to start programs, which crashed.
I'm trying to find a reputable dedicated host whos datacenter is located in toronto (no Quebec DataCenters plz) and can meet my below requirements:
1) Windows 2003 Server () 2) 1~2 TB Bandwidth 3) allow/offer up to /24 ip block (with IP jurisdiction of course) 4) Private VPN hosting allowed 5) Managed preferred
Does anyone know of a company that can do the above?
Please do not PM me regarding your offers, as I will not check PM that often.
Its a dedicated unmanaged server that has windows 2003 and apache running. I heard you need IIS to enable SMTP on a Windows machine but I don't want to run IIS because I feel Apache is better.
Usually our website traffic is about 50 MB/day in our dedicated server. From these past 2 days it's consuming 5 GB/day and Apache2 opens so many processes/connections that our router can't handle and turns our WAN/LAN extremely SLOW!
If the reboot the server, it calms down but soon the apache2 starts again to open the connection (+1000).
Ive had this problem numerous times (website failed to connect error) before and the web management team tell me that apache2 needs to be restarted, seeing as they are not replying to my emails im gona try and do it myself.
I have a problem. When MSN Search robot looks through my VPS, the machine is going "asleep", e.g. Apache2 (Port 80) doesn't answer at all. Here is the last falling:
Code: 23:14:15 up 4 days, 9:06, 5 users, load average: 37.18, 31.25, 27.46 I hardly ever can enter 'pkill apache2' to kill Apache2 processes. Here is my Apache2 configuration (timeouts, prefork, e.g.):
Code: Timeout 30 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 20 KeepAliveTimeout 5
I just wondered if anyone can help me out with an Apache problem. I currently run Debian 3.1 (on 10 GB space and 256 MB of RAM) with Apache 2.0.59 installed through apt-get.
Apache runs with 10 child processes running simultaneously to handle multiple requests at once. I have set up Apache to use virtual hosts for every single account since they are hosted on their own domains/subdomains.
I put in a crontab to restart Apache every 15 minutes. The reason being is because after a while, Apache will start lagging to display web pages. When it's restarted, it works just fine and fast. After roughly 10 minutes now, it will take roughly a minute for the request to finally send the data back to the browser. It's not the web page that causes it, it's Apache or some factor effecting it's performance.
Does anyone know what the cause may be or how to fix it? Personally, I think it might be a memory issue.
But when i tried to start apache i got an error message saying that libphp5.so is corrupted or something.. (garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?)
Now i just want to retore php4 working as it was !
i did apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysql and apt-get install php4 libapache2-mod-php4 php4-gd php4-mysql
but i can't find the php4.conf and php4.load on the /modules-enabled or /modules-available
tried to write those files manualy as php4.so exists with other libs.
apache does not load php

I'm running Apache 2.0.54 on my server and just recently Apache has been giving me problems that I haven't been able to fix permanently. In my error log, Apache marks down "[error] (88)Socket operation on non-socket: apr_accept: (client socket)" roughly 3 to 4 times a second and then turns off. In SSH, I send a restart command and it tells me it's still running but then it says when I restart it again that it wasn't running.
My main concern is fixing Apache from showing this error and from crashing so much. I did some research and through inconclusive evidence, it seems like a crontab error (ironically Apache doesn't use any cron jobs I can see).
got the VirtualHost entries for Appache, so each Domain points to a folder.
The (Windows-)DNS runs on the server, means i have to create a new DNS Reverse-Lookup and Folder for each Domain seperatly, but this workflow appears to be pretty stupid..
Now my question:
Anyone can tell me how to setup somwhat a "Wildcard / Catchall DNS", and also "Catchall VirtualHost", so each Domain is automatically pointed to the right folder? Any scripts needed for that?
On my webserver I host about 10 websites. I want to set up a subdomain of webmail.domain that works for all the domains but goes to the same squirrelmail install. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to add code for each domain?
Since I upgraded to apache2.2 I dont seem to be able to find the "MaxClients" setting in httpd.conf.
I spent some time on google and aparently this has been taken out because apache2 is multi-threaded. What I do know is no more than about 250 people can connect to my server.
Does anyone know who provides fully managed VPS that supports Apache2? I am currently hosting with LiquidWeb and I am happy with their service. However, they only support Apache 1.3 on their managed VPS.
