Linux: Remote Administration
Jan 7, 2007I'm thinking about putting a server in a colo where the Datacenter is a 4 hour drive.
My question is: "Do Linux machines running LAMP hang / freeze often so that you cannot force a reboot remotely ?" - "Does it even happen on Linux boxes?"
I have a lot of experience with Windows machines but none with Linux. With a Windows machine I for sure would have to purchase a DRAC/LILO board.
Unfortunately, I don't have any production experience with Linux so I don't know the risk of having to go on site because Linux decided to completely freeze making remote management impossible. Of course this is not included any hardware outages.

View 9 Replies View RelatedVPS Learning Curve
May 28, 2008I am a Windows user. I have very little experience with Linux. But I am technically savvy.
I am thinking about a VPS hosting solution for 4 blogs that I am going to be hosting, and also a company website.
The Linux VPS plans seem much more affordable than the Windows plans.
Is it hard to learn to administer and maintain your Linux VPS? What is the learning curve like?
Or should I stick with Windows and just pay the premium? Or, if I am just starting out, and have little to no traffic to speak of right now, should I go with shared hosting instead (the reason I wanted to start out with VPS hosting is that I have heard it is hard to move from shared to VPS once you have already been established; also I am confident in the future traffic to my sites as well and might as well plan ahead of time)?
Unmanaged Vps For Learning Purposes
Aug 17, 2008how to setup OS on vps and how to use SSH. I cannot install other OS on my local machine which is running vista.
So i think the best way for me is to buy a cheap vps which i can use for my experiments and learning purposes.
Am i thinking correctly ?
If yes then please direct me to the best offer for my case, or help me to find it.
by the end i hope i will be able to setup vps, use SSH professionally.
New To Backup Management - Learning The Basics
Apr 5, 2008Up until now I have not managed a site that needed backups, but that is about to change.
I have a lot of questions, and they are newbie questions. Hope there's some patient people who have time to respond to some of them. If there are tutorials or articles you can recommend that would bring me up to speed, that would be most welcome too.
The project has 1 domain with about 100 subdomains. Each subdomain will have its own CMS and MySQL database.
All will initially exist on one shared server (HostGator reseller account), but will likely be moving to a dedicated or managed server shortly.
Ideally, I would like to have the hosting company manage the backups automatically. I saw a managed server package from webmasters.com that includes automated nightly backup. I am wondering that, if lets just say only 5 of the subdomains had an issue - would I be able to restore just those 5 - or would I have to bring all 100 subdomains back to the restore point?
I am also looking at other options, that I can implement before we move to a managed server.
Those options include:
1) Use CPanel to create a backup on a daily or weekly basis. I think, if memory serves me, that creating a backup of the domain, would include all the subdomains and databases. But - like my earlier question - I think that I would have to bring all 100 subdomains to the restore point if there was even 1 problem.
2) Use an FTP program to create a backup on a daily or weekly basis. I suppose the only investment for that would be my time, and an external hard drive. This solution would allow me to isolate certain subdomains. My question here is - in what file/folder are the MySQL databases stored (its not obvious to me.)
3) Move to a host that provides nightly backups even for their shared servers...
Resources For Learning Server Management
Feb 18, 2007if there were any free resources out there that anyone know's of that could teach someone how to manage an unmanaged dedicated server? General guides will do but the more specific the better although I really cannot imagine a guide specific to my requirements but anyway

Server Administration Courses
Mar 9, 2008I would like to hone my Linux administration skills. Are there any good courses out there that stand above the rest in terms of online training? I know some very basic stuff when it comes to the Linux architecture and how to perform basic tasks via SSH, but would like to learn more so that I am more comfortable performing more complex tasks.

Nov 3, 2008Our company uses Google Apps for Domain (and we are very satisfied with it). Until recently, we were accessing our email via[url], but we then realized that it can be accessible via [url]by updating CNAME and MX records for our DNS zone. We have full access to WHM and cPanel.
However, what we are trying to accomplish, if possible, that, when someone types [url], it does NOT redirect him/her to [url], but it remains on that very domain. For example, the address for GMail inbox in that case would be [url]
Is Colocation With Administration Of Services A Reality
Jun 26, 2008I have a high level server that is in need of a place to live and also an administrator to handle backups, patches, and also to work with the software manufacturer to acheive different configurations.
I am not asking for names, but rather I need to know if there are services out there that are willing to do this. (Does this exist?)
I am having terrible luck with my existing host as their willingness to touch the server, even with no liability, has faded.
General Windows Administration Info
Jul 11, 2007I'm getting a dedicated Windows server for my business web site (a classifieds service similar to AutoTrader, with e-commerce capabilities). I need to get someone for routine administration, but I don't know the first thing about it.
What are the general tasks that need to be done on a regular basis with a Windows host server? How many hours per week can I expect a professional admin to spend on these tasks? Starting out, the traffic will be on the low end, but I'm expecting 100,000+ users within a few months.

Determining Operating System (Linux)
Nov 15, 2007Without having all of the operating systems at my disposal for testing, I would like to figure out a way to determine the operating system of a remotely accessed Linux machine.
It seems pretty strange though, since cPanel reports both machines I am using as being
CENTOS Enterprise 4.5 i686, yet one's uname -a reports:
Code:
Linux hostsentry.crucialwebhost.com 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise #1 SMP Thu May 24 17:41:23 MSD 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Code:
Linux main.7kb.org 2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 4 21:36:00 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm assuming there is a way to determine the OS from this information. Anyone know how?

Nov 21, 2014I have just used rsync to backup a dedicated server to a new cloud server. I put the files in a plesk webspace 'Backup' folder for ease of use (gui). In File Manager for that webspace it shows the folder user and group as root, which is obviously correct as rsync maintains users etc?
Thats fine, I just wanted to be able to back them up along with the rest of the server configuration and content.
However, when I run backup it says "For security reasons, backing up is performed on behalf of subscription's system user. This system user has no read access to:" and "So it was not backed up. All other data was backed up successfully. To fix this issue you may grant access read/write to the file or directory for system user "(username)" or "apache"."
I don't know how to give read/write access to the system user? Through file manager there is no option to change permissions.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Activating Emails (making Them Work) In VPS System View
Aug 19, 2014I have a Cloud VPS with 1and1 and Plesk is installed on it. I happen to have a VPS view that doesn't include DNS functionality for the domains.
So, i have added domain to the system, create an email address... because i dont see on how i can manage DNS settings I have set up cloudflare and pointed domain to the cloudflare and cloudflare is pointing to server.
so I have email: me@domain.com
on cloudflare i have:
A domain @ IP
A www @ IP
CNAME mail @ domain
MX 10 mail.domain
In plesk i have set up an alias, mail.domain for domain, that has access to email.
I go to the network-tools.com to look up me@domain.com:
[Resolving mail.domain...]
[Contacting mail.domain [IP]...]
[Timed out]
