I am just wondering what specs on a server is needed to run a website like Craigslist, where there will be thousandsd of users posting data into a database and at the same time retrieving information from MySQL database.
We will not be streaming videos or anything of that sort.

I'm considering building the following 1U rack server for colocation. I'm completely new to rack servers and colocation so I would be very grateful to hear your opinions:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU
ASUS P5B-VM SE Motherboard
8GB PC5300 667MHz Non-ECC RAM
500GB HDD
345W Power Supply
I also have a few specific questions:Are there any differences between the Q6600 and it's Xeon equivalent? (especially power wise?)
Are there any disadvantages using a desktop motherboard in a (1U) server? (again, especially power wise?)
I've read that non-ECC memory is a lot more acceptable for servers now than it was a few years ago, is this true?
Does a 500GB drive use much more power than a 160GB drive?
How many watts of power can I expect the server to use?
Does a 1U chassis usually come with uATX mounting points?
I'm thinking to setup my own 2u server, I need server board that contain 4 gb lan
for lga775 and single processor
Any ideas, which board I should get?
What kind of spec would I need for serving direct/hotlinking 100mb+ files? I've looked all over the place but couldn't find anything.
And let say a sudden spike of 400+ people and they are downloading a file [url]simultaneously that is 100mb+ in size.
How much ram would I require?
What vps you can get for 50$-100$ max. I need to find some offers for a friend.
What is needed for this vps, much ram, unmetered bandwith (10mbps), as much HD space as possible. Lxadmin is fine for cp.
Just looking at getting a 1u box with a local provider. They provide .75amps per box.
Previously we have gone a bit crazy and gone with dell 1950s with dual quad cores and a few disks. As you can imagine these specs go well over the .75 amps.
What type of spec server would you recommend for that power? Looking at something for small scale web hosting, duall HDs and about 2gb of ram.
What kind of web hosting plan would I need for a message board with 500+ online active members and 100,000+ overall members?
I'm just trying to figure it out in advance and I believe that some of you have the experience and knowledge about this specific issue.
1) From time to time my vbulleting message board loads slow, and at that time the server isn't even at a high load this happen at loads 0.9 nothing much really but always below 4.
2) Not only does it load slow but it often return the server cannot be found error, this minute it works fine and the next minute it doesn't, all i can see from the error log for my domain is
3) php warning: Zend Optimizer for PHP 4.3.x cannot be found (expected at '/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-2.1.0/php-4.3.x/Zendoptimizer.so') - try reinstalling the zend optimizer in Unknown on line 0, referer [url]
4) Does vbulletin relies on zend at all to be fully functional?
5) will zend actualy help at all?
Yes there are other sites on the box and they seem to work fine.

i want to use centos and cpanel to build a server, i will create hundreds account on it, all the accounts will put only pictures or little html files, no php or mysql or mail service on it. the bandwidth of the server may be about 20M ~ 30M all the time, how could i build a economical and stable server to run this? about the hardware, intel e2160 with 8G ram and sata hd, is it enough? or should i need to add which part to get better?

View 6 Replies View Relatedif anyone has tested any of the new boards by Intel or others for LGA1156 processors in the Supermicro SC512L chassis? And how is there compatibility with CentOS? ie: the P55 boards by Intel
View 13 Replies View RelatedSay a server has 2 gig-e ports on board, and the OS
is using both. Can I still use IPMI feature? Or do I have
to get an additional ethernet card?
For running PHPBB3 or vBulletin, are there certain *ballpark* figures used to help decide between 256, 384, or 512MB of dedicated RAM on a VPS?
E.g. If you have XX number of concurrent users, you will probably need this amount of RAM?
i find some company rent dedicated server to offer download server,
the package of month bandwidth is 1TB,and month fee is about $8,
for a stand server with $120 permonth,
it can only run 15 accounts,
and it will need 15TB per month to use,
i wonder where to buy so cheaper dedicated server can offer 15TB with $120 month fee,
and what hardware to run 15TB but only $120 per month?
do you have use any intel desktop board for Core i7 and run well?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm specing out a box for small dedicated servers and am looking at the SC512 with a desktop board (Intel D964GZISSL since I don't have to cut anything). Should I be using active cooling since it's a desktop board, or will a large passive heatsink be sufficient? I'll be using Celeron Ds, probably a 356. It's power usage is quiet low.
It looks like the heatsink on the motherboard might restrict airflow a bit.
Stable C2D Board - ANY size - Needs working lan
I need a stable C2D board that works with linux and lan. I was thinking of a Intel G965 board but I heard that chipset isn't supported in linux?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI moved my site to a new host and am running IPB 1.3 forums,
I have a 62meg sql backup to restore.
I have tried using BIGDUMP.php as max upload is over 52megs.
No Joy!
I also tried zipping the file, got it down to 9megs,
It wont complete the upload in PhpMyAdmin?
I have not had to restore a back up before, and am really struggling.
we may class the board into "desktop"A"work station"A"server" board,
i know they have price difference,
i want to ask any other main difference of them?
I run a large service on 2 machines (we're talking 8x2.66Ghz processing power, 4-6GB ram, etc), however we are thinking about creating a node/clustered setup to help spread the load, bandwidth, mysql (having one server for hundreds of thousands of databases is not wise it seems :p), diskspace etc. Lots of machines just seems to be a cheaper and more powerful option.
Would you advise going with lots of lower end machines, or just a few mid-range machines.
Here is what I propose:
3 of these
Dual Xeon 3GHZ Dual-Core (4x3GHz)
3GB RAM
500GB Sata Drive
4000 GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
4 of these
XEON X3220 QUAD CORE 2.4GHZ 1066FSB
2GB DDR2 RAM (Upgradeable)
250GB HDD
2000GB Bandwidth
100mbit
or
7 of these
Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
250GB SATA
2000GB BW/MONTH
100mbit
All of the above are roughly similar prices in total.
I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

I looked a lot - can not find solution ....

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.
However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices
Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License
I choose Activate Pre-Purchased License pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then
---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!
An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:
Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:
Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------
So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.
Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.
Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com
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.
