Mail Server Taking Too Much Time To Connect
For some reason, one of the servers can't connect to my mail server. Whenever a user tries to send email from that server to my server, the message won't go through and I see the following in the logs (var/log/exim/mainlog):
2007-02-13 23:56:06 SMTP connection from (***.ca) [***.***.***.***] lost while reading message data (header)
this problem occurs only with this ***.ca mail server (as far as I know).
In fact, trying dnsreport.com tool on any of my server domains, I am getting the error message
"ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
******.com: Timed out [Last data sent: RCPT TO: ]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.

Spammers Trying To Connect To Mail Server & Filling Logs
I use cpanel. Is there any way to disallow connections to SEND mail FROM my server to specific IPs? (Similarly to how you can limit connections to sshd from certain IPs) I realize I cannot disable everything completely, as yahoo and the likes will have to connect to deliver mail. But no one of any use is going to try and connect to send mail, but a spammer. No one has gotten in and abused it as of yet (knock on wood), but SMTP is being restarted at random and I can only imagine that this is being caused by one of these scumbags probably ddos'ing me. It takes eons to browse these logs, even if they restart via logrotate periodically!

Server Taking Forever To Respond
I was on a 100mbps shared port with a dedicated server from FDC and I use it only for downloads. The downloads took a little long to start but once they did, were as fast as they could be. Thinking this was definitely a shared bandwidth problem, I ordered a dedicated port of 25mbps from FDC to fix it but it seems to have gotten worse. The website uses around 10/15mbps but it takes forever for the server to respond. Even logging into cPanel takes around 40/50 seconds for the dialog box to appear but everything is fast once I log into my cPanel. I also hired a sys admin to look into the server and He says everything is fine. I don't know what to do. I could increase my port bandwidth higher but it'll be disappointing if I do and it's just a waste of bandwidth (and money!)

Server Response Time :: Network Time Out
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with: network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com. If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it? What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?

How Can I Connect More Than Server With One Domain
i want to know how EXACTLY connect more than server with one domain i will explain what i want [note : sites & ip all for example below] i have a site name [company name] is www.comanyname.com and i have two servers [client servers] with the following dns server 1# ns1.companyname.com pointed to ip 192.168.1.1 ns2.companyname.com pointed to ip 192.168.1.2 server 2# ns3.companyname.com pointed to ip 10.0.0.1 ns4.companyname.com pointed to ip 10.0.0.2 now i want to make a NEW domain name like www.companynamedns.com and i want this domain hold all client's servers [want to spilt the company dns of the client dns], like ns1.companynamedns.com ns2.companynamedns.com ns3.companynamedns.com ns4.companynamedns.com vip.companynamedns.com s1.companynamedns.com i can make any name server like i want, so the first thing it must to be all server's ip that i want to connect to the domain companynamedns.com in www A record and mx record too and if u ping to companynamedns.com every time it give you random ip [cuz i put www a record for more than server with same one domain name] so this way not very cleard for me and i want to know how can i add the www a record? should i create a dns zone in any server but this entry in one server in whm [note i use cpanel/whm]? and put the www A record with new domain name companynamedns.com for every time i get a new server like i add www A record this companynamedns.com 1 A 192.168.1.1 14400s companynamedns.com 1 A 10.0.0.1 14400s companynamedns.com 1 A 10.10.10.1 14400s companynamedns.com 1 A 11.11.11.1 14400s and mx record like this companynamedns.com 1 TXT v=spf1 a mx ip4:192.168.1.1 ip4:10.0.0.1 ip4:10.10.10.1 -all 14400s but how about the ns record? should i but all ns record in the dns zone in whm? [note : there is another company make this trick and he have alot of name server NS but i didn't see all registred in dns records only 2 NS for the site And pointed to one server only] so how can the client connect the the server with ns that the main domain name companynamedns.com already did't added the others NS in the dns zone like A client make the nameserver for his site is ns22.companynamedns.com ns23.companynamedns.com but the DNS Records for the companynamedns.com is ONLY s1.companynamedns.com s2.companynamedns.com so how the ns22 and ns23 working and it didn't even added in the dns zone in the main domain companynamedns.com maybe he add all the name server he want in the domain control panel in the child name server only not in the name server but i think it didn't work it must be add in the name server too i really going to be CRAZY for this this trick is the right way to connect more than server with one domain name i colored the thread to read and get my idea easy and i really need expert help me with that issue

Smarter Mail - Spammers Targetting Mail Server Using Dynamic Ip's
We have been having some problems with one of our mail servers lately. Server is running Smarter Mail 4.x with declude. Some spammers have been targeting this particular to send spam through this server. This putting lot of load on the server because declude is processing the SPOOL in Smarter Mail and spool goes upto 2000-20000 during the day. We have been checking the headers and blocking the IP's continuously of these spam but these people are using dynamic ip's. And it doesn't seem like single spammer. Content is quite different. Blocking full ranges of certain IP Range helps though but then lot of legitimate mail is getting blocked as well. Is there any good suggestion or a serious mail server admin who can have a look and actually sort it. This is causing serious delays on our mail delivery through this mail server.

Users Cannot Connect To Remote MySQL Server
I have a few users that have a hosting account with me and are trying to connect to their own MySQL servers elsewhere. Both said that they are able to connect to the MySQL server with other hosting accounts but not the ones hosted with me. I asked if they had setup permissions to allow remote connections from my server and they confirmed that they did. What am I missing? Do I need to configure my firewall somehow? I figured the connection is just using port 80 since it's from an PHP script right?

I just did a standard installation of the Centos following [url] I then tried Code: yum update but it times out. I have no remote access to the server. I can only connect when i am on the router. I have seached, read and tried so many sites and commands but it just is not working. I have had this problem for about a 6 days. Its a long story but basically this server setup has become a nemesis. I don't mind providing remote access to the server and router admin page if needed. I am in London btw.

LiquidWeb Not Taking New Customers
I'm currently considering a host change, so I'm putting out feelers to potential candidates. As always, I'm putting on my difficult customer mask (turning down my rationality and patience module) to find out if the host can actually handle real-life customers (one of the things I find most important and that I don't want to find out once the server is already on fire). Most companies pass the test very well. Here's how LiquidWeb handles new customers: Quote: Originally Posted by yosmc Hi guys, I'm looking to switch hosts in the next couple of months. I'd probably wait until January, but since the recent experience has been a bit bumpy with our current host, I'd like to get some basic info now so we can move more quickly if circumstances force us to do so. MY SITUATION: I'm a do-it-yourself webmaster who has been managing his own server for years. It's become a curse though because managing your own server means you have to be online virtually every day. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to be offline for several weeks (a REAL vacation, something I haven't had in a decade), knowing that whatever major issue there is with my sites, someone will take action and make sure the service stays available. - Last year, I've switched to my first managed solution, but as it turns out, they're not doing what I need. Yesterday, for example, I came home to find my sites offline. The site was unavailable for over 40 minutes, and after asking about it I learned that they didn't take action because the server wasn't quite dead yet, only really, really, really slow. To me, this is hairsplitting, the only thing that matters is whether or not my site is available to visitors. - And once the service has been restored, I would also expect a managed host to figure out what caused the issue, and to propose a solution (or just implement one, e.g. change the mysql configuration) so that a similar issue won't happen anymore under the same circumstances. - If my sites are unavailable due to a fatal error (e.g. a table needing repairs, or max users reached, "can't connect" or whatever else) I would also expect my managed host to catch it on their own, restore things to normality, and possibly think of ways to keep similar issues from happening in the future. - If my site suffers a DOS attack, I would expect a managed host to think about how my site can be protected. And so on. - My largest database tables are 2.5 GIGs in size, but the /tmp disk my host configured has only 600 MB available, so everytime I perform a major operation (even if it's about slimming it down and running an OPTIMIZE afterwards) everything goes down the crapper (/tmp 100% full and load average shooting up to 200). Seems like the fact that /tmp is 100% full doesn't even trigger any alarms with my host, they send the alert to me, and expect me to contact them and ask for a fix. - When I needed to run a business-critical script that keept failing due to the small /tmp, it was me who reconfigured mysql so that it would temporarily use another partition for /tmp - no suggested solution from the host whatsoever. Not good at all. - I would also like to see a host being able to learn from past incidents. This would require the host admitting though when they made a mistake, or gave the wrong advice. A host not admitting mistakes means that they will not learn, and will therefore keep making the same mistakes all over again (for the client that's a horrible outlook). - I also think it's embarrassing if a host tells the client that fixing a certain issue is beyond the scope of their support, if it turns out afterwards that the issue happened because of some update done by the host. If in doubt, the host should always provide assistance. - And if an issue does go beyond what can be expected from managed hosting, it would be the icing on the cake if the host could offer to fix it anyway, possibly against a fee. Such a situation could occur if a major site error is due to a broken script that was provided by the client. ("Looks like your script blah.php is causing the fatal error, we can look into it but this will likely take X hours and cost you Y USD.") Again, the ultimate goal for me is to be able to be offline for several weeks at a time, knowing that any major interruptions to my sites can be resolved without me. - I would also appreciate a system that will allow trusted site members to report issues - i.e. one where I can give users the ability to report problems without at the same time giving them the privilege to push any red buttons that may damage my site. So in a nutshell I'm trying to figure out if Liquid Web is the right hosting solution for me. Please let me know if your hosting philosophy meets me needs (and don't hesitate to let me know if it doesn't ). Thanks! Quote: Greetings, Thank you for contacting us. Liquid Web offers Heroic Support which covers the hardware, OS, and installed components. We will also monitor your server, and if a service fails one of our reps will log into your box and restart the service. We do not provide support for your content (including backups). If you are having a problem we will help you to troubleshoot the problem, however if the fault is in your content or scripts we will not be able to assist you with that. For more information on what your support covers please see our website at: [url] If you have any further questions please let us know. Quote: Originally Posted by yosmc Hi, I hadn't written such a long email because I'm bored, but because I wanted to know where Liquid Web stands on the issues mentioned ("what would have happened in these situations if I was hosting with Liquid Web"). You have basically answered the question about fixing script problems, and for the rest sent me to a page with unspecific promotional teasers. If that's all I can get as a reply I guess that also answers my questions (I'm already Googling for alternatives) but then again maybe you just want to give it another try? Thank you. Quote: Originally Posted by LiquidWeb Greetings, We will take care of server administration issues, we do not take care of any content issues. From the email you sent it sounds as if you are looking for a web developer that can watch over your site, and make corrections and adjustments as needed. This is beyond the scope of what we offer. If you have further questions please let us know. Quote: Originally Posted by yosmc XY, right now I am just looking for someone to answer my questions. For what it's worth, I didn't draw the name "Liquid Web" out of a hat, and I had already been to your website prior to sending you my mail. Anyway, here's what I read from your responses: THE BAD NEWS: - Even if it's a one-time emergency, you are paid extra and not providing help would ruin the client's business because the client is currently in a thunderstorm in the middle of the Atlantic, it is not possible to convince Liquid Web support to fix a fatal error that may have been triggered by a programming error in one of the client's scripts. - Although Liquid Web's server monitoring is called "Sonar" it is - in practice - just as slow as the one I've described in my intitial mail (because if it was any better, you would have told me by now how LW would have handled the given example differently). - Even if all my sites are down because your staff has misconfigured mysql to break under heavier traffic, or because one of the tables crashed, Liquid Web's staff will do nothing until notified because as long as the mysql service itself is up, you don't see any reason to intervene (if this is something you'd care about and fix, I'm sure you would have let me in on it by now). - EDIT: Or wait - you guys are installing mySQL but you're not configuring/tweaking it so it actually works for the client? Not sure, seems like I actually have to *guess* on that one. - Liquid Web's ticket system cannot provide sub-accounts with lesser privileges (because if it could, you would have advertised it to me). - When Liquid Web sets up new servers, /tmp is below 1 gigabyte as well, and when this causes issues, it is definitely not Liquid Web's fault (because if you would be handling this any differently, you would have pointed it out). - Liquid Web has too many customers already, which is why even customers who know what they want aren't told what they can get, but instead receive links to canned information that doesn't answer their questions, along with the info that Liquid Web probably isn't for them anyway. - Generally you're in a hurry and can't spend more than 5 minutes on the average ticket. THE GOOD NEWS: - LiquidWeb offers DoS protection (I had missed that, but see it clearly now). Hope there was nothing I missed. So - thanks for all the extensive information you gave me (and sorry for using up so much of your precious time), I will make sure to honor it when I reach my decision. No further replies. Anyone know what's wrong with these people? Are they full, or do they only take on easy customers who need nothing?

SQL Taking Up Too Much Resources
One of my servers keep overloading due to a SQL process. The process is: /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/zeus1.forcium.net.pid --skip-external-locking --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock It takes up pretty much 90-95% of the cpu and memory at times if I do not kill the process. But even after I kill the process it comes back and immediately hogs up cpu load again causing it to go into loads of 8.00 or higher ( I have 8cpus ).

Apache Keeps Taking File Ownership
FreeBSD 7.0 Apache 2.2 PHP5 Mysql 5.1 I have been battling this for a while. A user will setup a CMS like joomla, e107, etc and every time the CMS changes files either with user interaction on the website or the admin changing things in their cms admin web page, apache takes ownership of the files. I have tried installing suPHP, FastCGI, and most recently suexec. I am not having any luck with this. I really don't know what I am doing with these recent additions but meanly going on suggestions. Does anyone know of a walk through to fix this permission problem? Anyone with some good advise? Surely not everyone is having to write a script to chown each user's dir and run a cronjob every 5 minutes.

Daily, Time To Time Cpu Load
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots. Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service? How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load? I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.

HyperVM Backup Error Taking Too Long
It's been a while since I've made a backup in HyperVM but in the past I've had no problems. I decided to make a new one after so long, but when I did I got the error "no permission to make back up []". I contacted my provider to fix it, but it's been almost 24 hours and they still haven't gotten anywhere it seems. They even asked for my DA login information which I don't think is needed to fix the problem but I provided it anyways. My question is, is this problem really that hard to fix? How would one fix it? Maybe I can just tell the provider how to fix it so I can get this done ASAP and then I can get back to using my VPS.

Paid Hosting Taking 404 Error Traffic
HostGator is the only one I know of taking your 404 traffic by default. I have never experienced this with any other host I have used. Personally it does not bother me much because I know how to change it simple. I'm a big fan of HostGator otherwise. They do provide a great service. I just find it weird your 404 page is a HostGator ad with a coupon code. Is this a popular thing I have just never run into? I know it is the norm with free hosting providers.

My First Time With A Dedicated Server
After being with KnownHost for a while, I decided to make the jump to a real Dedicated Server. KnownHost does offer a Hybrid Server -- but it isn't a real Dedicated Server. So I gave up my Hybrid at KH to experience the real thing. After much research, I selected ManageMyBox (MMB)-- their current special is awesome with a managed Dual Core AMD with lots of disk space and generous bandwidth. My only concern about MMB was some of the discussion threads about their support, but if you read long enough, you will find the same support issues at all hosting companies. I just wanted to let you guys know that so far in day two with MMB, I'm ecstatic to report that my server was set up correctly from the very beginning in less than the 24-48 hours they advertise (mine was less than 24 , and I have alrerady opened a support ticket to get another software installed -- and within 30 minutes, the software was installed and the ticket closed. This all happened tonight -- a Saturday night. I'm not getting paid to post this -- but I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. I will report followups if things do take a turn for the worse, but so far, its not just good -- it's GREAT!

Have A Hard Time With New Server
Week ago I decided to rent another dedicated box , install CentOS 5 64Bit and use LiteSpeed as a web server. What seemed to be trivial at start became nightmare later. I was unable to compile PHP 5 with --with-litespeed and --with-curl directives. If I removed one of them it was ok but together it didn't work. Tried to search forums but nothing helped, so I decided to go back to Centos 5 32bit and try there. It compiled OK. So I'm in trouble now. I wanted to have server with 64bit OS + LiteSpeed because of its speed, system resources consumption and good DOS protection. I asked several questions about advantages of 64bit over 32bit OS and the most important thing was how much issues can I expect on 64bit OS (libraries availability). Almost every reply said that it's without issues to go with 64bit OS. My experiences say it's not as easy as I expected. I didn't find any good protection against DOS for Apache so far, mod_evasive doesn't work as I expected. What do you recommend ? Should I stay with apache on Centos 64bit + apache with everything installed via yum (should work OK) or go with CentOS 5 32bit + LiteSpeed there ? LiteSpeed I'm talking about is Enterprise edition.

How To Know Server Response Time
How can we know that how long it takes our server to respond, in terms of Microseconds. Is it take long time while processing an Ms Access database or SQL Server, Sending flash movies to client. For example, I can accomplish a task while reading data from server database , also I can accomplish it using an image or flash movie. Which way should be efficient for my visitors, I am using a paid hosting plan. Also I have another question. How could I know that a web hosting provider company's server is a fast machine than other company. I have options like "WebHost Company1" & "WebHost Company2" I host the same website on both servers, while I request some page in a client machine, How could I measure the efficency & speed of the server, I am sure both servers will not send content to client with same speed. due to any reasons, may be 1 server has more traffic, has slow hardware, has longer route. Also which technology is faster, ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, coldfusion. Is there some way to measure these facts about a webserver. In these cases, how could I choose best server. How to made decession about that.

Considering A Windows Dedicated Server For The First Time
We've always used open source linux servers up until now. For a variety of reasons we're contemplating adding one windows box. Is there much practical difference for the average small business between 2003 and 2008? What's the difference between "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" windows servers? How is most administration and regular tasks done? I'm used to sshing into my linux servers-- I'm assuming for windows this is gui based? What's the standard software used for this?

Mismatch In Time Between The Server And Apps
Thought of sharing this with all. Issue: Php function was returning wrong time. There was a difference of 1 hour between the server time and the php time. Due to this ,most of the functions on the site were not working properly. Fix : For checking the php time, put the following code in a file, say time.php Code: <?php $time = time(); $result = date(”Y-m-d (D) H:i:s”,$time); echo “Current date and local time on server = $result “; ?> Execute the php script. Code: [root@localhost ~]# php -a time.php Interactive mode enabled Current date and local time on server = 2017-01-30 (Mon) 18:04:25 To get the server time , issue the following command : Code: [root@localhost ~]# date Mon Jan 30 17:04:25 IST 2017 You can see the difference of one hour between the server time and the php time. For fixing this, you need to install the PECL timezonedb module. Code: [root@localhost ~]# pecl install timezonedb At the end , you might see the following message : ========================== Build process completed successfully Installing ‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/timezonedb.s o’ install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/timezonedb-2009.6 configuration option “php_ini” is not set to php.ini location You should add “extension=timezonedb.so” to php.ini ========================== So , add the line ” extension=timezonedb.so” to the php.ini file and restart apache. There shouldn’t be any mismatch in time now.

Slow Response Time From Server ...
I have a dedicated server that I am renting that appears to randomly respond very slowly for some reason (pings are between 90-4000ms with about 75% packet loss). This has been happening lately (about once a week for the past 4 weeks) and I thought I had originally found the cause of the problem but it appears I haven't. Originally, when this problem was happening we were getting an abnormally high about of traffic but a reboot always fixed the issue. I've checked every where I can think of but I cannot find anything out of the ordinary. ight now we're averaging less than 2Mbps in traffic, the CPU load is less than 0.75, the memory usage is at 55% with no swap being used, Apache connections are normal, no active SSH, FTP, or mail connections, I've restarted all services which had no impact, I've checked the access and error logs but can't see anything out of the ordinary. I have a ticket open with the data center but I'm trying to figure this out on my own to fix whatever is causing this so I can move my data over to a new server we just got setup over the weekend in a local data center.

Dedicated Server Setup Time
How long is a acceptable waiting time? just signed up to Dedishack - yesterday, Monday and been told I need to wait till Thursday. Acceptable waiting time? Not in a rush and I am not complaining just curious. First time I have had to wait for a dedicated server should be worth the wait though.

Server Issues / Execution Time
During the last couple of weeks my main server has started acting weird. Sometimes(often) when accessing my site, I get a page saying that server or location could not be found. Reload and "bam" page loads again. Average load on the server is 0.50 When executing scripts (I.E uploading files using web2ftp or cp file manager) server shuts the connection after a few seconds and say page cannot be found. I set the execution time in php to 60sec, so this is not the issue. When I ping the server, I do not get any packet losses.
