Server Config For Hosting
Aug 27, 2008
I am currently selling hosting from my reseller account. Planning to buy a dedicated server. I will be hosting around 250 hosting accounts with PHP and Mysql on a centos 5 OS with Cpanel. The 250 sites will be controlled by normal terms and conditions that comes with shared hosting. Now I am confused about the configuration to go for:
My Budget is around USD 200 per server.
Here is the config I thought to go for initially:
Xeon 3060 Dual Core
2 x 250 GB SATA II HDD
4 GB RAM
Cpanel/WHM
10 MBPS Port
Then I found this config for 20$ extra.XEON 3220 Dual Core
2 X 250 GB HDD
4 GB RAM
CPanel
10 MBPS Port
will 3060 is a good config or do you think should go for the 3220. Or should I save that extra 20$ and use them to get a hardware RAID 1 for 3060 server...?

For those who run their own DNS servers I am interested in what DNS software your running on BSD or Linux platforms and on average how many DNS queries per second it serves on what hardware specification?

I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.

I'm about to purchase a new Xeon dedicated server, however I'm unsure whether to opt for a RAID 1 configuration on the two 320GB SATA drives. Can this decrease performance in anyway or only increase? I run an extremely resource hungry site utilising audio/video en/decoding, running vBulletin so anything that might negatively affect performance could have a big impact.
Secondly, I'm unsure on whether to opt for CentOS 5 over 4.5. I'll be using cPanel of which I've heard there have been problems with the latest release of CentOS.
And finally, is it worth upgrading to Apache 2 and MySQL 5 (which I know is installed as default on CentOS 5)? The reason I ask is that I've heard of server load problems after upgrading to these latest versions on high traffic sites.

I'm having a very intermittent PHP error on my dual processor CPanel/CentOS 4x box. And it happens randomly across several domains, so I know it's not a single domain problem.
I can never figure out what causes it. 95% of the time the sites work fine (no error), but ever so often my php includes give me something like this:
PHP randomly fails to find the directory/file. And it requires an Apache restart to make it work smoothly again. It will be fine for a few days, but then it happens again. So I suppose it may not be directly related to PHP, but more of a server/apache issue? Any ideas at all?

after a number of hours I finally got myself an SSH connection to my Linux server. I created an account with bin/bash access, whatever that is, and got in. Phew, this is all new to me!
I can get to the ./configure prompt and all looks well when I type command --enable-magic-quotes but I refresh my phpinfo() and nothing has changed.
All I want to do is install Joomla!
My Joomla! installation tells me to action following: Set PHP magic_quotes_gpc setting to ON
Set RG_EMULATION setting to `ON` instead of `OFF` in file globals.php
Display Errors should be on
Register Globals Emulation should be off instead of on
It's also telling me that the var/lib/php/session is unwriteable. Do I need to get shell access and command to do that too?

Can anyone with previous exp. in Video Hosting/Streaming provide me some info on THE CONFIG AND BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS FOR ffmpeg hosting for youtube like site?
Here are the basic things-to-know & Server(s) Funtions:
1. Do Video Conversions from AVI, MKV, etc to FLV/MP4
2. Stream out these videos for viewers.
3. Expected Traffic: Quite High (1 Million Visitors/mo)
So can anyone suggest me the most suitable Server Config, Bandwidth (I'd prefer dedicated-unmetered b.w) and Host for this?
Also can anyone provide me info on the amount of video conversions and traffic a single server (with your recommended config) can handle?

I have a little problem configuring the mail server in Plesk 12. I bought a VPS with Plesk 12 is hosted in OVH.es just for learning. I've got an external domain in OVH.es from 1and1.co.uk. The domain is properly configured and all is working well but the mail server.In OVH.es manager I can't create emails for an external domains (it is not allowed), only redirections. This is how it is in the manager: .domain.com MX 1 Redirecciones redirect.ovh.net.Support OVH.es told me that I can configure within plesk 12. I suposse it is in zone DNS but I don't know how to do it.

I'm on plesk 12.0.18 and i would like to backup my server config. I have an error Logging::error('Available disk space () is less than required by storage bund...', 'fatal') called at /opt/psa/PMM/agents/shared/Storage/Storage.pm line 523
[URL] ....
the function un cat /usr/local/psa/PMM/agents/shared/HelpFuncs.pm is like that
Code:
sub getMountSpace {
my $mount = shift;
my $df = qx( df -P -k $mount) or die $!;
while ( $df =~ /^(S+)s+(d+)s+(d+)s+(d+)s+(d+\%)s+(S+)$/gm ) {
[Code]...
We've unchecked the disk space verification in backup settings with no more results ...
is it a way to launch the function reserveSpace and/or getMountSpace helper in shell ? to see the returned value ?
or can i launch /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup server -c comand line to backup only the config ?

I have a 2003 SBS server with about 50 users on exchange. It is a standalone DC - all the users connect with 'profiles' and 'docs' on the server and use exchange thru outlook..when they leave the office they VPN in and exchange works like a charm.
Problem is for a quick setup I've used the POP 3 connector and kept the emails hosted on my server - I want to get rid of the POP3 connector setup altogether and have mail delivered directly to the server.
Can someone give me a walk thru of steps to do this - so far I have fgured out that I have to add the domain to the recipient policy - configure it properly and then setup each user to receive email for that username and it will just work....
I want to be sure and was hoping that someone who has done the same thing could point me to an accurate tutorial of sorts.

On a rhel 5.3 + cpanel server, i have a time problem.
Web apps, as joomla show articles with a -2 hours time difference, or even webmail clients like roundcube are showing a wrong time when an email arrives. It seems this apps are not picking up the server time.
Both things (joomla and webmail) should use the configured server time.
I know Joomla can be fixed using the time zone option, and webmail too.. but in a server with over 300 websites, there are many joomlas installations and even more mailboxes...
/etc/sysconfig/clock have the right time zone.

I've added this:
# Added for me
hostlist privaterelay_hosts = lsearch;/etc/privaterelay
And changed this:
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
Into this:
accept hosts = +relay_hosts +privaterelay_hosts
within the Exim Advanced configuration editor. Cause I wish to allow a relay without authentification.
This morning, I've got this:
cPanel was unable to automatically merge your Exim configuration with the new settings that shipped with the build you have installed (11.23.6-RELEASE_27698) because you have a custom ACL configuration which cannot be automatically configured.
To avoid any mail downtime, we thought it was best to leave your previous configuration intact until the new configuration can be properly installed. In order to complete this configuration update, you will need to manually merge your configuration with the new
configuration settings. Please follow the steps below to complete this update:
1. Enter the Advanced Configuration Editor
2. Notate any custom changes you have made in the ACL section. You may also which to make a copy of /etc/exim.conf.local and /etc/exim.conf.localopts as custom settings are contained in these files.
3. Click the 'Reset ACL Config to Defaults' button.
4. Reinstall your advanced custom settings.
Until you manually complete this update, automatic spam filtering may have been rendered inoperable to prevent any mail loss. (This generally only applied is you were upgrading from cPanel 10.x)
Current Config Version: unknown
New Config Version: 4.900000
What can I do to prevent this ? Cause last time, all mail was receiving a 550 (SMTP Protocol Returned a Permanent Error 550 Sender verify failed) which is pretty bad...

I'm running a message board and it looks like I've outgrown the low end xeon 3040 1.86GHz dual core server, and the bulk of the CPU load is going to mysqld. I'm debating between offloading the DB to a dedicated server vs upgrading the existing server and hosting the web server and db on the same machine.
Any thoughts on the better approach? fwiw, the load from apache seems next to nothing right now, but I am also planning on adding an SMTP server for user registrations and general support email.
I'm also not super familiar with dual-core and dual processor machines. Does shifting mysql to a dual core or dual proc machine help (vs a single core/single proc machine)? since there is just one mysql daemon, does having a second core or proc. buy me anything?

I am trying to do something that I believe is fairly non-standard. What I am looking to do is create a system where I can rapidly deploy web sites without having to restart named and Apache. For example, if a customer completes a process, I want to be able to turn that site on immediately using a temporary domain (somecompany.example.com or othercompany.example.com).
With some programming language (hopefully PHP) I would like to get the customer up and running with their site immediately without having to restart the server. While doing some research I found I could use MyDNS which uses MySQL to manage DNS data instead of configuration files. MyDNS can be updated on the fly.
For Apache I have seen wildcard configurations, but everyone seems to be suggesting the use of mod rewrite. I would prefer that the domain maps directly to a specific folder:
somecompany.example.com -> /sites/somecompany/htdocs
(*.example.com -> /sites/*/htdocs)
Does anyone know how I might do this with Apache. It seems similar to user directories (example.com/~username -> /home/*/htdocs)

I am trying to install a newer release of APC PHP cache on our server that runs RHES-4 and PHP 4.3.9
I installed version 3.0.14 some time ago and now cannot install the new v3.0.16. When I run ./configure I get this:
Quote:
[root@xxxx APC-3.0.16]# ./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-apxs --with-php-config
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
The baffling thing is that I also cannot now reinstall 3.0.14 as it shows the same error.
I also get this error if I try to install XCache.

I have tried to manually setup awstats on a website in Windows 2008 with IIS 7. The problem here is that I have to create two conf files for each website, one named awstats.sitename.conf and the other awstats.www.sitename.conf. If I don't do so, then awstats does not work on either www.sitename.com or sitename.com. I cannot update the stats or view it from the browser. I have a few Hosting controller servers in which awstats is used and I compared the conf file with them and there is no difference. I wonder what could be the issue.

Switching from Windows DNS to bind DNS. Slightly different as I have to learn the commands instead of using the GUI. Can you tell me if the below config is correct to run mydomain.net so people can access it from the web? It will also be acting as its own name servers. This is purely for external DNS. The private IPs will be changed to routable ones once its in the DC.
Have I missed anything or is that good enough for deployment to the live environment?
I have this in /etc/bind/zones/mydomain.net.db

604800); Negative Cache TTL

mydomain.net IN NS ns0.mydomain.net
mydomain.net IN NS ns1.mydomain.net

zone "mydomain.net" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/zones/mydomain.net.db";

I've decided to move from managed hosting to colocated hosting and I'm in a bit over my head as far designing the server configuration goes. I'm looking for assistance with setting up a fully redundant configuration with no SPOF (single point of failure).
The colo provider ensures full redundancy to the cabinet, terminating with two network drops from diverse bandwidth providers and HSRP. I need to eliminate all SPOFs inside the cabinet.
Some questions...
1) I'm thinking of using the Cisco 2960 Series switch as the in-cabinet distribution switch. I believe it supports HSRP. From my understanding, the switch will automatically failover from one uplink to the other in case of a network problem on one of the uplinks, and this will all be transparent to any servers connected to the switch. Is this correct?
2) However, this introduces the switch as SPOF. So, I believe what I need to do is ask the colo for a second pair of network drops and deploy a pair of 2960's. Then I would connect each server to both switches via separate NICs. Is this correct?
3) Finally, assuming I am on the right track here, I would like this to all be transparent and automatic with no human intervention required to recover from a switch failure. The servers will be running RHEL 4. How would I configure the network interfaces on the servers so that they can transparently use either (or both) of the switches? Is there some way to assign the same IP address to more than one interface? How does the OS keep from getting confused about where to send the traffic?
Thanks in advance for any insight. I would also be happy to hear recommendations for excellent network consultants that I could hire to design and implement this configuration for me.
