I'm running an VPS account running CEntOS 5 and LXadmin, on a Parallels Virtuozzo platform.
I've did some updates and seems like a few services comes up after the update. I want to keep my VPS running low on resource consumptions, so which are the minimum services I have to keep alive? I'm running a SMF forum (so mysql/php), I use IMAP/qmail, spamassasin enabled. I'm specifically curious about saslauthd and xinetd services, are really need to be enabled?
I got this new server with FDC today, I asked for CentOS 5 minimal package installation, when I got the server I checked with rpm -qa |wc -l and seeing 572 packages. I have other CentOS 5 servers running with only 220 packages installed. So I asked the tech to reinstall it but he says the install is as minimal as the default install will allow. it doesn't seem right to me,
I've just signed up for my first VPS with CMBHosting and the person in charge, Chetan Bakhru, seems like a genuinely nice, friendly and helpful person. In other words this new service look promising at the moment.
However ...
When I signed up I selected his CentOS/LXAdmin plan because I figured that with a pre-installed control panel like LXAdmin I could avoid as much ssh as possible and simply get "up and running" more quickly. Plus I have some experience managing my own CentOS development machine, and I know that a special software package I plan to install runs on CentOS "out of the box" -- so I was expecting good things from this new VPS.
But when my account was created LXAdmin did NOT create an FTP admin account for me with root access to my VPS!
Instead it created an account that drops me into web server's document root folder, and this is far too limiting for me. I really need FTP root server access -- and I'm surprised that LXAdmin did not provide this access by default.
Not only that, but it appears that I cannot create a new FTP account that has any deeper access than the existing admin account!
Does anyone with LXAdmin experience know if this is the way LXAdmin normally works by default? Or is this perhaps a special configuration created by my new VPS host?
My issue is that my websites I have hosted there just come and go. They will be accessible for a few minutes, then return "unknown host" errors for a while, and then come back like it never happened.
I am amusiming this is a dns issue, but I am not really sure where to start. My dns template looks ok, but past that I am lost.
How do you go about getting hardware info so you know what drivers to compile in? I want to build a very small and fast loading kernel for this web server.
I'm running off of a VPS and the default install of MySQL uses a lot of memory. Is there a way to just download the sources and compile a minimal install of just what i need to run say WHMCS/forum?
I rebuilt my VPS (again) today and noticed something different. Instead of the usual "Install LxAdmin" icon in HyperVM I read "Install Kloxo."
I looked at the demo and everything looked the same. Has anyone noticed any definite differences between the two? Has anything significant changed apart from the name?
server has been reachable and up constantly, but DNS is NOT working for RANDOM people. No errors anywhere, no log entries, no reasons at all. Using Bind.
All my own tests, and few of friend's tests works fine, and then for a few doesn't work at all.
For those who used it for a long time now. Do you think it is suited for critical development and professional websites. What about stability .. and scalability ?
1st. I have a domain registered at domainsite.com. 2nd. I want to be able to setup my site in LXadmin.
There are 5 ip's **.**.**.33 **.**.**.34 **.**.**.35 **.**.**.36 and one default web address, **.**.**.101
1st. I went and setup a ns1.mysite.com & ns2.mysite.com 2nd. I went to my registrar and setup custom nameservers with the above ns's and I used the first 2 ip's.
All I can see is the apache of the default "root" I can login through ftp and see the actual files though.
I have a little offer if someone can help me. If you can help me get this working I can set you up with space 5gigs or w/e. I am totally confused, I almost feel like cancelling this account.
If anyone knows about HyperVM & LXadmin then let me know and I would love your help. You must be very serious and truthful because I am going to provide you with logins and stuff to help me....
Please help if you can. Oh and its VPS, 40 gig & 600 gig bandwidth.
I noticed, that FTP settings looks there quite.... strange.
I created users (let's say his name is 'usr' with few domains: domain1.com, domain2.com).
I can't just login to ftp using username usr and his pass - I need to create FTP users for all domai names - so, I can't manage more domainnames within one session. It is normal, or maybe I made something wrong - if so, how to fix that.
I just moved from shared to vps and I bought a managed vps with lxadmin. I have no idea how to access my lxadmin. All I was given was the ip of the vps
Virtuozzo based VPS comes with no control panel. I am wondering if it is easy to install Lxadmin or not? and is it all the same as lxadmin preinstalled by providers for operating?
I used a vps for several months with lxadmin, can deal with lxadmin well. so still want to have it.
Does any one know of any link/url to a working demo of LxAdmin? Because LxLabs demo is always out of order I wanted to give LxAdmin a trial before ordering a Xen VPS from VPSLink. It irritates me that LxAdmin demo is never working
I recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
I have a VPS with LXADMIN Hostinabox single server and want to use this VPS as a secondary/slave DNS server. My primary/master DNS is hosted elsewhere.
Does the LXADMIN Hostinanox interface facilitate the ability to setup the secondary zone?
which is better, LXAdmin or DirectAdmin? I have decided to sign up with world-of-computing.com. They have a promo code for free DirectAdmin. Should I go for it or use the 25%off promo code? The virtualization technology used is OpenVZ.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I had chatted with a Sales Rep for 45 minutes and he has been really helpful. But I know that support for sales and service is entirely different.
Also which OS should I go for (CentOS4/CentOS5/Fedora7/Debian4/Gentoo4/OpenSuse 10/Ubuntu 8.04)?
How do I uninstall LXAdmin, I got a complete empty VPS with no control panel with it, using Virtuzzo so I decided to install LXAdmin but no longer want it can someone please tell me how I would uninstall it now?
Anyone know the correct way to do this? I've been on here looking at a few threads and on lxlabs forum but my solution can't be resolved. I'm sure its something easy.
Here goes,
I'm migrating from an lxadmin VPS to another lxadmin VPS.
The problem I have is that my IP's for the HOME>DNS TEMPLATE and HOME>IP ADDRESSES are the same as my old VPS.
Now I can change the IP in the DNS template, however under HOME>DNS TEMPLAES>CREATE NEW it doesn't have my NEW VPS IP's listed in the drop-down menu. I read somewhere in an LxAdmin tutorial to update LxAdmin to get your current IP's assoicated with your new VPS. I did this and nothing changed.
In addition to the DNS Templates not being correct, In HOME>IP ADDRESSES it also lists the same OLD VPS IP's. Saw a thread in LxLabs forum with someone that had the same problem. Their help stated to just change the IP ADDRESS to your new one. I would do that but there is no option to allow me to ADD a new IP. Again i'm in HOME>IP ADDRESSES here.
