Is there a way in the php.ini file to force all sessions to be stored in a database? For example, in ColdFusion you can configure sessions to be stored in a db. Can you do this in PHP? Thereby forcing all sessions no matter what the customer specifies to be stored in a db.
View 3 RepliesWe have setup and are currently testing a load balanced cluster using heartbeat and ldirectord. One of the problems we have come across is that we are unable to reliably use the same web server for connections from the same user. As a result the php sessions are getting in a bit of a muddle.
Obviously its not something that we can easily sync between servers like the customers other web content. We are looking at either storing the sessions in a database or NFS.
The site is pretty busy and we are a bit worried that when the site goes live both these options will slow everything down.
Apart from using different load balancing software is there any other solutions we could use for this? Has anyone stored php sessions in a database on a busy site or on a NFS?
I operate vbulletin across my site including a couple of subdomains. I've just moved to a new server only to find that sessions are no longer recorded unless the user actually visits the forum (ie. forum.mysite.com).
The rest of my site uses the following code to track sessions / maintain connection to database:
PHP Code:
// vB Global File$cwdir = getcwd();chdir('/home/mysite/public_html/forum/');require_once 'global.php';chdir($cwdir);
Would anyone know what could be the problem? I'm running vBulletin 3.6.8, PHP 5.2.3, Apache 1.3 and MySQL 4.1.22. Safe mode is off, mod_security is off, open_basedir is off.
I recently upgraded to PHP 5.2.3 and now some of my customers sites are throwing errors.
Apache 1 with PHP 5.2.3 on RH.

I would like some tips on how to create back ups with WHM/cPanel on a Reseller if you could.
Also where to store them?
I was thinking of storing them up on a VPS or Dedi server that just has backups or should I buy a enternal Hard Drive for my computer and store them on that? I have a 500GB Hard Drive.

I am completely new to VPS, and I was wondering, where would I put my files in the VPS? Normally I am used to just storing them in public_html, or whatever I am given, but I can't find that on my server. Apache has already been installed.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am currently shopping for web hosting for an online store (that would provide software - mostly automatically downloadable upon payment).
My estimates for initial operation of my web/online store are:
Storage: (10MB/app x 50 apps) + 50MB overhead = 550 MB
Monthly transfer: 5000 purchases/month x 10MB/app = 10 GB
Number of email accounts: up to 10
By "initial" I mean first year, not first month.
My intent is to develop my own osCommerce based web store for downloadable software that I develop. PHP and MySQL support are must. My estimates are not carved in stone. In the beginning I will certainly use much less "monthly transfer" than I specified and in the long term I hope to be using much more "monthly transfer" (as marketing evolves and the business becomes more established)...
The most important factors to me are (in the following order):
1) Reliability (up-time, security)
2) Tech support
3) Expandability (room to grow)
The company that registered my domain name provides web hosting with much more than I initially need (5GB space, 250GB transfer, 50 email accounts) for under $3 a month.
This is a price that I can afford. However, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to have both the web hosting and domain registration provided by the same company? Any opinions/comments you have about this? Is my doubt in this regard unfounded?
Secondly, is there some independent source (user/customer reviews OK) that compares the reliability of web hosting providers? (I would have given the name of my registrar here but I am unsure whether this would constitute advertising. If mentioning names or asking for references is allowed please let me know and I will post it here so that I can get your opinions about it).
Thirdly, is there any significance for where, geographically, the actual servers are located? Main consideration is access speed for customers...
I have a few questions for those of you who are familiar with the security side of hosting.
If you have a dedicated server is used for general hosting purposes, what can you "safely" store on that server? What type of customer data would you have on a server that is exposed to the Internet, assuming that server received regular security audits?

First I recieved about 7 e-mails from clients saying that in joomla pre instllation teste sessions.save_path was unwritable.
I went to /temp created a sessions folder and chmoded it to 777
After that they still can't login on the admin area
Error: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot find save handler files in /home/asasdosa/public_html/site00/administrator/index.php on line 111
From what I could read on-line in joomla this means that clients can't save sessions file in the session.save_path although it is writable. But never saw a solution for it, because it was all client oriented. All the solutions were contact your isp.
Well they did contact, but the isp doesn't know how to fix it
I intend to store and serve files that is around 1-200mb from servers that is physically separate. I wish to store 2 or 3 copies of each file as a redundancy solution. When the file is requested I want to serve a direct downloadable link to the file. I am looking for logic to distribute load, and to detect if a server is down. I also whish to redistribute the files if a server is taken out of the pool..
Is there any open/free systems for this I can use?
I've come across an issue where our users are not logging out of their terminal services session properly. Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop), if they close the browser or RDP window using the x it keeps the session alive for upto 1 minute.
The problem with this is that we use terminal services to host an application for users who can't install it, so other users that login (using a generic username and password) are adopting/hijacking the original session and seeing someone elses data.
Does anyone know of a way to force a new session each time a user connects to RDP? Whether via TSWeb or MSTSC (remote desktop)?
I want to host my online store. Please tell me best web host. I am thinking of godaddy or 1and1. How are they both? Is there any better web host? I am looking for shared hosting in starting with good features like SSL too.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly good understanding of IIS 6.0 and so this is beginning to confuse me some what.
Our clients are running on Windows 2003 server with IIS 6.0 which in turn runs the site that we had created. The thing is our site does rely on sessions so when one ends it runs the Session_OnEnd within the global.asa and runs some other functions.
But just recently a number of our clients are experiencing the problem that the sessions are not ending so the Session_OnEnd is not running therefore causing some major problems with their sites.
Two of our clients has said recently that they had installed SP2 but I am not sure if this would change any of the settings or **cough** BUGS **cough**. Can anyone please shed some light on what the SP2 actually did and if any of the settings for IIS 6.0 would of been reset.
While I was using my VPS, I was disconnected 2 times and when I re-connected again, it told me to choose 1 from 2 sessions to continue? Can anyone please tell me how can I create sessions like this and how to delete one of them ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of configuring my company's new server and I've hit a slight stumbling block. What's happening is that PHP is creating its sessions like normal with the exception of no permissions being set for them. This then means that errors are thrown up when PHP attempts to open the session files. Can anybody tell me why this is happening? I have set the sessions directory to octal 0777 for the time being.
The server is running Linux redhat.
I've got a Fully Managed VPS hosting service running my sites and this morning I got the following error messages. My host says they do not monitor mySQL yet this error took my whole store down and kept it down for several hours until I noticed that.

I need a medium of some kind to store my backup drive images of a windows 2003 standard x64 server. I will be taking DriveImage XML images every Sunday. The medium must have a minimum capacity of 250gb.
I am wondering what is the best/most cost efficient option? My budet is around $500.
I have heard tape and usb external drives.
Can you provide specific models, costs, pros/cons of each technology and product?
I was looking at some load balancers hosting companies offer and some of the load balancer specs say they can handle up to 15million concurrent sessions(users online at the same time), so does this mean if i had a site like wikipedia that had 15 million users online at the same time, would i be able to do this with only 2 dedicated servers, or will the Cpu's not be enough?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any host out there that is compliant (say to PCI type standards) that would allow me to create a online form that will be used to fill out a rental application?
These applications will need to have the SSN / Drivers Lic. of the user filling them out, as well as CC info to be processed.
The CC info does not need to be stored, just processed for the application fee.
The SSN / DL need to be stored in such a manner that the realty agents can retrieve the form the users filled out so they can then use it to submit the application for whatever purposes.
(I would imagine it also needs to be stored so that if they ever get called by the GOVT for information about certian tenants they can retrieve the forms if necessary.
If i do this for the client, I will of course have a contract signed that basically makes sure that I am not liable if the system is breached, as i don't want the host i use for the website part itself to be storing this information at all.
I am kind of looking for a API like setup such as a merchant account, but one that allows the storing / retrieval of SSNs / DL.

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am trying to capture 3-4 digits when sent as part of a URL, for them to be proxied to another URL. I have no control over how the source sends this data, I am supposed to redirect it. Which works.
#RewriteCond %{HTTP:whoisd-ussd-message} ([d]{2,4})
#RewriteRule ^/original/individual.do(.*)$ https://other.server.com/somewhere/011$1 [P]
The problem is this works for all URLs that have digits to this server. I am expecting to trap URLs that send digits as part of the first call to the server, but this also affects URL calls that are part of other server call transactions, once digits appear, it gets redirected. What can I do to stop this interference?

i hosted one server socket application in my dedicated server which is recving the data from different units(vehicle tracking system) through port no 4444.in dedicated machine i am keeping one active session always...that means my socket application exe is opened always in an active session ie sectionA.This session is not logged off insted i used to close the rdp for keeping this session active.Based on settings if userA accessing SessionA then userB cannot able to reach the active sessionA at the same time instead new sessionB will open for userB.
now my question is
if userB also opened socket application in SessionB with same portno ,then which soket application will recive data from the units...whther the applictaion from sessionA or from SessionB?
I'm running a Windows 2003 based Vps, I'm looking to have more than 2 sessions of RDP at one time, I think every people know that is setted to 2.
I want only one more, at the moment I have admin acc always running, #1 friend account (where there are running 2 process always) and now I want #2 friend account for run another process.
I am paying around 15 bucks for 1.0TB bandwith in a shared hosting.
i thought of getting a vps for the site, and just stream videos from the shared hosting server....
the problem would be users uploading videos, is it possible for them to upload files through VPS, and onto the shared host ?
