My VPS Host Won't Upgrade From CentOS 4.7 To 5.4
Oct 28, 2009
why a VPS host wouldn't upgrade a VPS from CentOS 4.7 to 5.4? Is there some technical explanation that I'm not privy to?
Hello,
Unfortunately we cannot upgrade the OS on our VPS product. If you would like to go up to CentOS 5, you will need to purchase a dedicated server and we would then be able to migrate all of your accounts to that dedicated server.
Is this something you are interested in? I can get you over to our sales team to discuss getting a dedicated server if you would like.
Regards,
xxxxxxxxxxx
I replied asking if they offered CentOS 5 VPS and this was his reply:
Hello,
Yes, that is correct. As far as I know, that is in development, but I couldn't even begin to speculate when that will be finalized.
Did you wish to be upgraded to a dedicated server?
Regards,
xxxxxxxxxxx
Aside from the extremely annoying upsell at the end of each e.mail, I'm inclined to think I'm going to have to change VPS providers.

I have a server running cPanel.
At the moment, I am been hosted on an unmanaged server (dedicated).
My server provider is offering $25/hour for managed support.
My Kernal and Centos have not been updated for a while and I am looking to upgrade both of them. I am wondering how long would these 2 jobs normally take?

With Windows, it's simple to know when you need to upgrade the memory on a server. On Linux, apparently alot of RAM is reserved for cache?
Anyways, I currently have 2GB of RAM in a server and am wondering when the RAM should be upgraded. The server has became quite unstable and server load is always below 2, usually around 0.60 - 1.20.
Here's the current memory usage from PHPSysInfo (picture below):

Would you recommend I upgrade the RAM to help with stability?

I am planning on upgrading to php 5. I really don't need to upgrade to mysql 5 but do you guys think I will face problems with PHP 5.2.9 and Mysql 4.1.20 working together...
I am planning on doing the upgrade like this (if I decide to upgrade PHP and MYSQL all together)
1. STEP
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
2. STEP
change the enabled=0 to 1 as follows
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
priority=2
protect=1
4.STEP
yum install php-xml
5.STEP
yum update httpd* php* mysql*
and restart the server do you guys think I will face any problems.
If I am only upgrading the php to latest I am planning on doing
1.STEP
I will do the 2.STEP above
2.STEP
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh
yum install php-xml php-pdo
yum install php-pear
mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini
and reboot

Currently running a server with a little less than 100 accounts, running 32 bit CentOS 4.6 on a single chip running a current version of Cpanel and we're going to upgrade to a two quad core chips, and I figured I'd take this time to upgrade to a 64 bit version of CentOS 5.1. Here's my question: We're running an old version of Apache, and PHP
Server Version: Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.4.6 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7a
and while all we have on the server now are wordpress blogs and a few forums, I have to confess a level of uninformed-ness when it comes to upgrading Apache and then transferring all the accounts.
These will be different machines, as I hope to make the backup/restore fairly seemless.
Should I upgrade Apache to the Apache2.* before I make the transfer, or does it matter? Same with PHP to PHP5.*
There shouldn't be any conflicts, but I'm posting this because I haven't had to deal with it as yet and thought someone knew of an large issue I could be on the lookout.
Also, the RPM/Perl modules's I've installed over time. Uh, is there a "differential" list or am I going to have to create a list of the RPMs I've got now, and then check after I make the build on the new machine? There's probably a dozen or so ones specific to some applications on the server that aren't required for the core operation, and damned if I can remember which they were...
I have more worries, but most of it involves hand holding issues I think I'll work on privately, but if I do have any more questions, I'll add it to this thread.

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.

when I try to go to a site of mine with the www like this one [url] It won't work but if I take out the www like this[url]it does work.
I'm not sure what could be causing this. As far as I'm aware everything is setup okay. I understand it's impossible for anyone who reads this to properly diagnose the issue without access to my server.

I have a fresh server running CentOS 6 (final). I am trying to install Plesk 11.5.30 but i am experiencing some problems. When i run the plesk-installer i get this message:
Your host name must resolve to the correct IP address of your server, unless you are using network address translation (NAT).
Please quit Parallels Installer, fix the host name resolution problem, and then try installing again.
You can skip the hostname check and continue the installation, however, in such a case, the installer cannot guarantee successful installation.
Now, in my /etc/hosts file i have this:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
Is this correct? Or do i need to add/change something else?
My server is in the clound.

I've got the latest grsec stable, but i'm having a problem with getting ip_conntrack working.
I did the following with make menuconfig after copying my default kernels config file...
Networking -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering
framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter -> Configuration -> Netfilter Xtables support
(required for ip_tables) -> "conntrack" connection tracking match support.
After a compile and reboot:

Last year I ordered a new server with Centos 4.3 and it had the kernel kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2ELsmp installed. It runned fine and I didn't update any packages since then.
Today I started getting a problem where both mysqld and kswapd0 uses very high amounts of CPU, spiking up to 100% and my memory usage is at 99% all the time. The problem seems exactly the same as the one mentioned in this thread.
In that thread the exact same kernel is said to be insecure and to cause this problem. I also came across a centOS bug that reports this problem with high cpu, mem usage and mysql & kswapd0 consuming all resources.
In the linked thread the person solved the problem by upgrading to kernel 2.6.9-42 using rpms but others recommended a newer kernel or a custom compiled kernel for CentOS.
Apparently when they used yum it said 34.0.2 was the latest kernel.
What should I do to upgrade the kernel, which version should i upgrade to, and where do I get it from? I won't be able to compile a custom kernel and I've only installed basic rpm packages before.

I've got a small box running as a fileserver with CentOS 5. Sometimes life is a little easier using a GUI for jobs rather than SSH.
As this is not accessible externally, I've got it to autologin to a non-privilaged user, and as part of that logon a VNC session is opened using the inbuilt remote desktop tool.
This was working perfectly, until I realised if I cold boot the server without a monitor attached, X11 wont start at all unless I attach a monitor to it.
I know I can start a VNC session from using vncserver, but this way allows me to logon to the server as if I was sat infront of it, rather than running an extra session.
Presumabley I can add something into /etc/X11/xorg.conf so X11 will start without a monitor hooked up?

So this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works

One of my customers has been having a problem with his index files not showing up. It'll display the parent directory, and you can clearly see the index.html file in there, but it won't show it as the index.
It happened in one directory, and I went into .htaccess and did DirectoryIndex index.php.... but now i'm wondering if its part of a bigger problem, because its happening to other folders now.

I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5
AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded)
webmin
usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.
