Trying to figure out the hardware configuration I'll need to host a message board and was wondering if those of you with experience could throw out some numbers in terms of # users, bandwidth used, and what hardware configuration you're on (single server, dual server, dual proc, RAM, disk, etc). Been tricky trying to guestimate so some numbers to compare would be a huge help.
View 7 RepliesWe are starting to look for new motherboards for LGA775 1333 MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo chips and I'm wondering what boards other people are using. Support for the new Core 2 Duo E6xxx/E8xxx series chips is a must.
Our qualifications for boards is that they must work out of the box (or very near to out of the box) with CentOS/RHEL 5 and must fit in a SuperMicro SC512 case with no modification (meaning: working NIC & low profile audio).
What mother boards work with CentOS?
I tried:
Intel
Gigabyte
Asus
and DFI
But all those either does recognize the nic card or wont recognize a a sata drive.
Does anyone know of a motherboard where CentOS will recognize the nic and sata drive?
I have a dedicated server with godaddy (I know) and have used a pre-installed mail server product to host a few email accounts. Nothing fancy. My mail server is required to relay through godaddy's servers. A few of my users began complaining about email bounces - specifically "554 message refused". I opened a support ticket 2 weeks ago.
Initially godaddy insisted that the emails contained suspicious phishing links - which they didn't. I incrementally stripped the content of the emails and discovered that it was two simple characters that caused the bounce - left and right square brackets []. I presented this information to godaddy and their response was:
"When sending emails in the future, please make sure that these two brackets are not placed in succession to avoid the email from being bounced"
The problem is that my users are trying to forward or respond to email with embedded content that sometimes contains []. I cannot expect them to strip down their emails.
While acknowledging this issue, godaddy has refused to correct it. Sorry for long-winded explanation but I'm interested in some of your feedback - Does this policy make sense? Why can't they correct it?

How to translate non-chunked message to a chunked message using apache server side configuration?Idea is that apache must translate non-chunked request message coming from a client to a Transfer-Encoding: chunked message,before it reaches my apache C module.Here is the configuration i tried in httpd.conf,but of no success
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
<Proxy *>
</Proxy>
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:8080>
ServerName server

am moving from reseller hosting as we speak.
In the WHM VPS optimized control panel - under Service Status, I see these
Disk /dev/hda3 (/backup) No DMA! (Click to Enable) Disk /dev/hda1 (/) No DMA! (Click to Enable)
Should I? or shouldn't I "click to enable" - or is this something controlled by my host? what does this mean?

What kind of web hosting plan would I need for a message board with 500+ online active members and 100,000+ overall members?
I'm just trying to figure it out in advance and I believe that some of you have the experience and knowledge about this specific issue.
I have placed .htaccess to block some ip, when the person ip matches, my server will gives this message "client denied by server configuration", got lots of them everday in my error log, how can I disable this message? I need other error log message but not this message, is there any way I can disable it?
using centos and plesk.
My server has been running fine for months and then I got this message:
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (server.dealsreferals.com) resolves to . It should resolve to 69.46.27.111. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
What is the problem? Maybe I should do what is suggested, however, why suddenly the problem?
My server is working fine. Should I just let this problem? What harm can happen?
I've only just finished setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL etc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server and I am using the SMTP of one of my domain names to send mail. The IP of this domain name ends in .25 and the server hostname IP ends in .24.
The emails that are received list the server hostname and IP in the message headers instead of the IP of the domain name that is sending the email. Is there something that can be done about this? I read that a message could be mistaken as spam if it doesn't originate from the exact IP of the domain in the 'from' field.
When i use the ip of my homepage and not the domain i see this:

What can you do to stop so many users on your server that use mysql as apart of their website from getting this message: MySQL server has gone away
Like there has to be something installed or configured on the server that causes this as well, as I know people are taking too long to load something and it through that message, but it has to be something you can do server wide to get reed of it?
I getting error from cpanel now about possible hard drive failure.First it was only secondary disk,so i send request to support to ask them why is that happening and they said it is just temperature warning,but they still checked disk.Testing took 3 hours,and support said everything is ok.
But now i start to receive again that message,and now not just secondary disk,also primary disk.So what should i do,should i just ignore that error considering now is summer and it's hot or contact support again?I am in that dilema beacuse if support will test disk that require offline testing and means server will be down again,and now even longer beacuse of both disk warning,and again if they realy fail then i will lost all data and experience much longer downtime.
Here is message which i getting: ...

WARNING: LastLine parameter in history file is '20080518001148' so in future. May be you need to correct manually the line LastLine in some awstats*.domain.com .conf files.
is there anything to run on server to fix this issue globally as we are facing this for all domains on server.
Also in the awstats configuration file of the website(awstats.domain.com.conf). when we make the value
WarningMessages = 0
then the error gets fixed.
But after running /scripts/runweblogs < username > the value of WarningMessages again come back to 1

and we again see the above Warning message in the awstats webpage.

For running PHPBB3 or vBulletin, are there certain *ballpark* figures used to help decide between 256, 384, or 512MB of dedicated RAM on a VPS?
E.g. If you have XX number of concurrent users, you will probably need this amount of RAM?
I have just got a Dedicated Server and everything is running fine except the mail (outbound). Some times it sends mail fine but most of the time I am getting a bounce back stating the address cannot be found (Which I know is untrue because it is my main email address). It is not only happening on my address but a few others I have checked as well.
Here is what I get when I get a bounce back

And SMTP authentication is enabled at the mail client.
Hello, if anyone is familiar with network technical jargon, I would greatly appreciate a translation. I cannot access my server/site or my datacenter's website.
I checked my regular site monitor and it said both sites were up. However when I checked another online monitor I received the following message:
"Got an error when connecting to ns2.ochiba.net/64.235.53.39 with a request for ochiba.net/ANY: Socket Timeout Exception: Socket timeout on name server ns2.ochiba.net. null"
Here is the ping information:[url]
My site is ochiba.net.
I have no clue what this means. Is this a network issue? DNS issue? Is it on my end (I don't think this is the case because my datacenter's site is down as well)? My datacenter's end? Any recommendations on what steps I should take to resolve this?
I've been unable to access my server now for 20 minutes, so any help would be greatly appreciated (even if it is to point me in the direction of an appropriate google search)
I have a dedicated linux/cpanel server running various websites with the shared ip and one website with a dedicated ip.
But when sending mail through sendmail from the dedicated ip website the ip in the helo greeting is not matching the ip of the sender, it is using the main shared ip rather than the dedicated ip which is producing a 550 error from some receiving mail servers. I have racked my brains trying to figure this out and was wondering if anyone else has/had a similar experience and found a solution.
By the way the helo greeting sent in mail from the shared ip websites is fine...
I am trying to troubleshoot messages piling up in my /var/log/messages on CentOS 5 that look like this:
Apr 18 10:04:01 sc16 kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed.

Apr 18 10:04:14 sc16 kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed.
Apr 18 10:04:17 sc16 kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed.
Apr 18 10:04:25 sc16 kernel: printk: 3 messages suppressed.
Apr 18 10:04:31 sc16 kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed.
Apr 18 10:04:39 sc16 kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed.
The messages are supressed so I can't see what they are or what is causing them.
How can I disable printk supression?
I have already tried:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit_burst
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit
They don't seem to disable it... Any ideas?
