Is It Possible To Build An Automated Server That Could Record Radio From The Net
Nov 13, 2008
I run an online music archive site . Djs can upload their mixes to share and we also archive radio shows for people to listen back to.
Basically I was wondering if it would be possible to build a secondary server that could do this for me.
The secondary server could have multiple cast rippers running and could record internet radio shows, then once finished recording transfer it could send them over to my primary server to add to the website for people to download.
I am using a Linux server together with Parallels v10.31 ... Unfortunately I get little or no real support from my host so and if I do it's cryptic.
I have been getting a large amount of emails from my server [hundreds daily]. I have attached a screen grab indicating type of email being sent. I have created only one cron job and that was to reset the RAM on a regular base.
Also is it safe to update to the latest version without a major disaster happening....
It has been bought to my attention during our upgrade planning, that PPA & Plesk Panel do not offer the functionality for setting up a backup MX servers. In our current configuration we use Sendmail as both secondary and tertiary MX servers. These are manually configured and prone to configuration mistakes.
Multiple scenarios need to be taken into consideration.
Scenario 1: Hosters Plesk hosted primary mail server + secondary & tertiary mail servers. Scenario 2: Client hosted primary mail server + hosters secondary & tertiary mail servers.
I am looking for alternate ways for backup / secondary MX servers for our planned PPA / Plesk deployment. An automated solution would be ideal, but we are falling short trying to find a solution to streamline the process and remove margin for error.
I'm in the process of putting together an online radio show, which will require live stream for a small audience at the beginning. I'm not familiar with online stream so I would like to hear from some of the expert on how to proceed.
Is there some sort of checklist of all programs and settings that should take place when building a new web server? I am outsourcing a server build to a new consultant and I know that basics of what needs to be installed but I am sure I am missing a few things, most importantly security issues.
Does anyone have an input on this or links that I might find useful?
Here is what I know needs to be built: Free BSD Apache 2 PHP 5 Mysql 5 cPanel
I received a chassis from SuperMicro today. It came with a translucent thin piece of plastic (about as thin as a piece of paper). The plastic has holes cut out that are roughly the same as the holes in the mother board. What is this thing? Is it just a guide so you know where to put the mounting screws?
I am making a plan to make an website that will have an radio fucntion that will play whatever the user would like play, from what I have made available and the radio would have different channels. Also there will be an Forums section and an article section.
The article section woulbe be articles that I wrote.
I would like some advice on what technology should I used to acheieve my results. Also what type of web hosting would I need? From the above specs would I need a database?
In my country (VietNam),ISP DNS server (210.245.24.20 and 210.245.24.22) is updated cache very slowly, but OpenDNS is faster. I would like to build a private DNS as OpenDNS. I want to using it which replace ISP DNS Server . What do I need more except BIND?
I'm just a simple web designer at a non-profit organization in Canada. We are planning to start an Internet Radio Station with approximately 500 max simultaneous listeners and would like to seek some advice from more experienced people regarding this topic.
We do not have a set budget as long as the cost is reasonable. After much research, I have ruled out using full service providers like Live365 because of the huge costs involved in maintaining the service.
Running a server in our office as the stream source is also not a viable option because our allowed upstream will not support up to 500 listeners.
So I am left considering between two options:
1. Paying for a AutoDJ streaming service that will host and stream our music to a streaming server.
2. Paying for a VPS and install all the necessary applications involved for running our own AutoDJ and stream it to a streaming server.
This is were I am unsure how to proceed. Option 1 would be the easiest, however, I am having a difficult time finding a service provider who offers AutoDJ applications. I have only came across one I'm comfortable with using so far.
Option 2 seems the most cost effective, but I would have to go about installing all the applications required to run an Internet Radio station and I'm unsure how to go about doing that.
The general idea I got was that I will need to install a streaming server application and a source management application. So I was looking at IceCast for streaming and Centova for management. Will this be all I need? and how difficult will installation be?
i own <<an internet radio station>> and im in need of some expert help im looking for a good deadcated server i push a high vol of listeners 3 months ago i was at 1.4 million listeners and was number 78 on shoutcast stats now im 144 <<removed>> i have had 2 deadcated servers and each time i was running to much bandwidth that's what they said and that i need to pay more money i need to find a company that can handle the load of my listeners
im also looking to maybe do a a paid subscription so is there any 1 here that know how to do authorization type stuff where people pay then they get a pass word and can log in and listen to the music if u can help me hit me up

Which file do I need to open on a Unix server to add a PTR record? Sorry, I'm clueless about DNS but I think if I could find the file, I can add the PTR record by piecing together what I've found through searching the Internet.
I have been trying to run my emails accounts from my dedicated server, or just put the emails back to the go daddy secure server net. But I can get this right. Can someone help me? I am using the simple control panel. I went to use a dedicated server because this will give some freedom, but I just realize I may not be ready for this servers yet.
I am currently having a few technical difficulties with configuring my PLESK server to accept an A Record from another domain. Perhaps I have been going about this all wrong but I will explain what I am trying to do and how I have currently been trying to get it to work. Hopefully you might have a suggestion for me to try.
We currently run an On-Demand web design platform. This CMS can be completely rebranded for our Partners who can then sell this facility to their clients. There is only one installation of the code base but we need to give our partners a their own web address to access the cms.
For example: cms.altstudio.com.au cms.pcgraphicart.com.au
cms.pcgraphicart.com.au has been set up as a domain alias. The reason this is working is because the primary domain pcgraphicart.com.au is also hosted on this server.
So I thought if the partner has their domain delegated elsewhere then I could simply get them to create an A record for their chosen subdomain and point it to our IP address, then I could configure the domain alias again for their particular A record and hey presto. Unfortunately not so easy.
Here are two of the examples of what is happening
cms.newlight.com.au - their root domain is delegated elsewhere, but they have created an A-record for that subdomain and pointed it to 202.60.87.185. Now it reaches my server as I see a PLESK error page at that address.
At this stage I don't really know what to try to get PLESK to register that entry. I have created a domain alias for cms.newlight.com.au on the cms.altstudio.com.au account but it didn't pick things up.
On the second server we have config my2.myaccount.com as account On the first server we have modify dns of domain myaccount.com with my2.myaccount.com 14400 IN A xx.xx.xxx.xx where xx is ip of second server
--
Seems work but there is any problem For example ping to www.my2.myaccount.com give error, ping to my2.myaccount.com is ok..
They are excellent. One of the feature .. unless I forgot was the ability to add our domain record to their DNS server by ourselves.
I think it was controlcommand, or commandcenter, or was it controlcentre , I forget.
This feature is very fascinating as I can make my site up and running within second. [I know where to register domain with real time activation, and I have reseller account with WHM]
So everytime I have an idea of making a website. All of this cycle can be done within seconds , and my site is up and running. [register domain, create account in WHM, and populate the DNS record]
Anybody know any dedicated server provider which offering this kinda feature this day?
I have a dedicated server that is running apache and exim. While they're running from the same IP, I want the domain names to be www.mydomain.com for http and mail.mydomain.com for SMTP.
What I've done so far is set up A records for *.mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com to point to the same IP address.
My MX record points to mail.mydomain.com.
My exim primary_hostname is configured as mail.mydomain.com.
Now I'm trying to get the PTR record set correctly so that outbound email doesnt get trapped by spam filters. So in this case should my PTR record point my IP to mail.mydomain.com and not mydomain.com or does it not matter?
Is it strange that an RDNS lookup to the primary IP would return my mail server like that?
I have one domain who's not create dns in MS DNS server, i try create manuall but after this the record is missing, but on plesk showing, How to fix this ?
I have a dedicated server that only has around 3-4gb of data on it. I would like to do automated nightly backups for as cheap as possible. I don't want to pay to have my server managed just to be able to have automated backups, so what other solutions do I have? I know I can get really cheap storage from Amazon or Mosso, but is there a way to automate this?
