Remotely Accessing Testing Server - How
Mar 31, 2007
id like to set up apache on a spare pc i have lying around, for local dev. id like to stick it in the back of a closet (no screen, kb or mouse) but im wondering how i can best access it from my main computers. is there some kind of decent and preferably free remote desktop application that can be used for this?
i know i can access the xampp installation via the ip address, but inevitably ill also have to access whatever OS i decide to install on it (xp or ubuntu)

I'm wanting to access one of my MySQL db's on my VPS (WHM/cPanel).
Specifically, I want to connect to the db from Excel and pull down certain data live.
I've set up my IP address for remote access in cPanel.
I've done this before on my old shared hosting account, where the hostname for the db was [url]
But under WHM/cPanel, the only hostname used for MySQL is 'localhost', which doesn't work when trying to connect remotely.

I have 2 questions here.
1. I have installed mod_evasive version 1.10.1 on a Cent OS 4.4 server.
I'm using the test.pl script that comes with mod_evasive to test the configuration and when running the script from the same server mod_Evasive is installed. The mod_evasive is able to detect the intrusion and block the IP of the server.
If I use the same test.pl script from an external server the requests come in and are viewable in the access log but mod_evasive doesnt block the IP of the external server.
Probably is not blocing the ip of the external server because of latency.
Is there a way to modify the test.pl script to make it more agressive and get results when testing from an external server?
Here I'm pasting the code of the test.pl script:
Quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# test.pl: small script to test mod_dosevasive's effectiveness
use IO:ocket;
use strict;
for(0..100) {
my($response);
my($SOCKET) = new IO:ocket::INET( Proto => "tcp",
PeerAddr=> "test.domain.tld:80");
if (! defined $SOCKET) { die $!; }
print $SOCKET "GET /?$_ HTTP/1.0
";
$response = <$SOCKET>;
print $response;
close($SOCKET);
}
2. Also, I have sendmail installed and on the mod_evasive config I have email address specified on DOSEmailNotify. When testing from the internal server with the test.pl script the server is able to block the ip, put in the hash table but it never sends an email to my email address.

I don't know if this is possible after searching on the internet for solutions. Here is the problem. I recently logged off my colocated server 2 days ago, and have been trying to log into it again like I always do using remote desktop. Each time I try it gives me this following error: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator."
I've had this server colocated for about 5 months now and I've never had any issues connecting remotely to it. Seems like Remote Desktop got broken somehow, or it's being blocked? I am an admin with logins/passwords etc. The OS is Windows Server 2003 R2, I'm not connected to a remote reboot console. I don't want to have to call the data center for remote hands on support for a restart if that's not going to fix the issue, from what I've heard they charge quite a bit.

Is there a script or program which I can use to start my game servers remotely? I am giving my friend a free game server, but the problem is that he wants the power to start/stop the server because he wants to update the binaries. I am not looking for a game server control panel, but more like a small script or program that has the power to start/stop the server. The game server I am hosting for him is Team Fortress 2. Also, it has to be free since I am not going to make any profit of this.
Game - Team Fortress 2
OS - Windows 2003 Server
Web hosting - WAMP

Few months back we migrated to a new server (Layered tech Savvis to Databank)
All has been running smoothly, better than before the move.
Over the last week we have had reports from a few clients in various locations across australia and a few in the uk that they can not access the server.
The DNS is resolving correctly for them and traceroutes have not proven anything.
Layered tech have not been real helpful, eventually they put me onto their network department who ran a global test which came back as the server being accessible from everywhere.
The problem appears to be intermittent

when I install apache on my machine I can open up port 80 on the router and allow outside access.
But, now here is the issue.
I have a p4 server which connects via ethernet to my apple mac. My apple mac connects to the internet via wireless. My apple mac has web sharing activated so the server can access the web. The server has OpenBSD 4.3 installed without X.
What I want to do is get my server online.
It's IP is 192.168.2.4, my macs IP is 192.168.1.1. In the router configuration how would I set it up? Would the router see 192.168.2.4?

I'm using a dedicated server for the first time and I want to access the PHP.ini file so that I can set up the mail() function and also enable error reporting.
However, all access has to be done remotely through a KVM console and I'm unsure what I need to do in order to get to the file that I want.

Is there a site which will enable me to enter url of my website and it will simulate visitors from multiple locations. It needs to open the page completely, and run for example 10 minutes. Two things I found are host-tracker, but it just gets headers from multiple locations, and does it only once. Another thing is Paessler software which can test exactly what I want (number of visitors for some period of time with full page download) but it must be run from one (my) PC, so I can not test bandwidth from multiple locations. I need combination of these two, anyone knows for something like that on the net?

Currently working on securing my server and i think I'm doing quite well until I asked myself the question, have I done it right? Is there anyway to actually test how secure my server actually is? I'd rather not just wait and see if someone can hack me to bring to light what I did wrong...I was also thinking of hiring someone to secure my server but then how do I know that they've done anything different to me?
Are there any scripts or programs I can run to test server security?

I'm running a Fedora box and am getting these kinds of messages in /var/log/messages:
Oct 26 13:41:20 tx kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c
I have a feeling this is a memory error and am looking for a way to confirm this.
I found a package called memtest86+ (via yum) but have never used it. Have any of you used this program in the past and if so what are the steps? Does the server have to be shut down? Are there other programs out there to accomplish what I am trying to do?

I have one server right now and will be adding a second server in the next 4-5 months. In the meantime I've upgraded the coding in my community site to act as if there is already two servers. Mainsite.com has all the php files, and a separate HD for mysql db only, [url] has all the user images and videos.
This problem I'm having right now is the permission to delete files from [url]via [url]
What I've Tried:
vsFTPd - it has a small footprint but its not reliable, needed to be restarted a few times while testing on the beta site.
usermod - this is messy, changing chmods, owners, grps... etc I tried all of that but still had problems getting the Mainsite to be part of the group without having to change all the chmods and grps.
NFS mount - haven't tried yet...
Does anyone run a multiple server site? My sites pretty big been around for 4yrs, and i've upgraded servers 3 times since then.
If i can't get this to work right my final option would be to continue to upgrade to a new server each year, everytime a bigger and faster server setup becomes available.
Current server Dual Xeon 5310 4gb, 3 x 146gb scsi/sas. The server is doing fine with this setup. But with the new site uprade and features it's going to top things out. I can keep throwing ram on the server and move mysql off site.
The site has little over 1mil users with about 60-70% of them being active daily...

How can I run memtest86 remotely?? my server has crashed 8 times in less than a week ,
I've had many glitches, it's failed to restart a few times and twice I had a odd glitch where /home/mishkin/ on became read only access (even to mishkin) chmod couldn't fix it and the first time a reboot solved it, the seccond time the server went dead, not even remote reboot can bring it back online
I told my host server.lu about this and demanded a new server, they repleyed with "did you run memtest?"
I told them that I have no idea how to do that remotely and it's 12+ hours (8 of them buisness hours) without reply
help me out guys, oh also any idea how I can get it running again??
it's debian stable
oh and during some of the crashes I had 3 terminals and xfce4 running only (and wasn't even logged on )
I'm not running anything untested

my current situation is that i'm currently renting out a server in a datacenter, and there is no realistic way I can get physical access. Call me cheap, but I really don't fancy shelling out $100 to get my techs to install it. I do have an idea though, and I just wanted to know how realistic it is / how I would go about performing it.
My server has a rescue shell (uses busybox) that I am able to re-install the OS from (all linux OSes), re-partition the HDD and do general troubleshooting things from. If I was to create a VMware machine on my local computer, install windows 2003 and use a hdd image cloner (from within the machine) to create an image of the HDD, how would I go about copying this image to the server's HDD? I don't know of any cross platform "HDD backer upper / recoverer thingies"

Just wondering if anyone can share how they access there colo servers remotely? We have a couple of servers in one datacentre and have just setup a new small co-lo solution.
At present we just use RDP to access our windows servers on the standard ports (pretty bad i know). The RDP ports are open as there may be occasions when we need to access the servers from anywhere. Our new soloution is presently setup like this but i am interested in locking it down.
How do other people access their servers? We have DRAC/ILO cards in the servers but we only tend to use these in emergencies as the remote console is pretty slow.
how to improve security are greatfully received!

I have just ordered an unmanaged dedicated server with KVM IP. now what I want to know is, how can I install software from my computer to the dedicated server on the other end? Would I have to upload the ISO to that server then install it from there or can I install it directly from my computer to that computer?

KVM to manage multiple servers using single KVM.
We want that if server owner want the kvm for its server we add the user remotely and provide him username/password for KVM to access his server. Once he is done we remove his access from KVM.
Can this kvm [url] be used to manage multiple servers remotely?
There are more then 12 servers to be managed remotely.
All the operations has to be managed remotely. We don't want datacenter intervention or datacenter guys to plugin and plugout the kvm's for each server.

I've been debating this in my head in that we have a number of servers that need to mount a remote server (for backups actually) and debating about the best way of doing it. Traditionally I would use NFS but this is going to have to run over the public internet and NFS is insecure at the best of times.
Now I've got root on all the servers and I was thinking of using sshfs via fuse but just wondered if anyone had any input of the stability of it or any other way.
R1Soft wouldn't work in this method as the backups are created by the user
