Smoothly Moving Vbulletin Without Stopping It
Jul 9, 2007
I will move my vbulletin site from one server to another server.
my web data is more than 10G including mysql data, I know I may stop the vbulletin at first and move data. but I am expecting a minimal forum-stop time or no forum-stop time.
My concern is, if I don't stop the vbulletin at first, after I dump sql data out and retore them to the new server, it would be more than 3-4 hours, there must be some new data come in during that period. how may I keep the vbulletin running and move all data to new server?

I have a question similar to this as well.
I plan to get a semi-dedicated account for reseller hosting purposes.
Specs:
Quad core Harpertown 2.5 GHz
100gb dedicated disk space
1gb dedicated DDR2 RAM
100Mbps Connection
1000gb dedicated bandwidth
(cPanel and fantastico included)
I was just wondering if a server like this would be able to handle 100 users, each being given a 1gb account with 10gb bandwidth.

We are putting together a Video Blog to feature 50 3 minute videos that will be H.264 high definition (720 by 1280)
We want to know what configuration would be best.
We expect no more than 500 visitors a day to this site.
Even Vimeo is stuttery and we would like to avoid that.

I have WHM 11.1.0 cPanel 11.2.1-C11635
FEDORA 4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
PHP Version 4.4.4
I'm not sure what my apache version is.
I want to try this:
http://www.webhostgear.com/232_print.html
It says it's for Apache 1.3x, PHP 4.3x
Will that work on my server? Will it be safe to try?

Currently my site is having a extreme surge in traffic (in and out). My webhost just sent me a warning, saying that my site is generating abusive traffic to the host's network.
Code:
Please be aware that abusive traffic is being generated from your IP, xx.xxx.xx.xxx, directed to our network as seen in the logs below. We have added a Nullroute for this IP on our network for a period up to 24-hours. Please take action to remove and prevent this abusive traffic from being generated. Repeated offenses will result in a permanent Nullroute of your entire network block.

My VPS is using Plesk v8.01 as the control panel. I have purchased my own 3 IPs so I'm sure this is not the case of sharing the same IP with another account.
I've checked the cgi-bin directory but there is nothing there except the usual default file (test.cgi). And I never have the right to alter the cgi-bin directory (can't remove, can't add files).
The traffic surge costs me 10 GB (in) and 5 GB (out) bandwidth a day as opposed to the normal 100~200 MB a day. I haven't ask them the exact form of the abuse. So far, I think my IP has becoming the source of abusive traffic that burdens THEIR server.
I've checked the latest access.log and everything looks normal.
But when I checked using menu Virtuozzo/Traffic Statistics, I can see that the incoming and outgoing traffic are surging up unnaturally (this is the third day).
Hour/Incoming/Outgoing (in MB):
Code:
01 5.61 26.31
02 4.94 25.11
03 6.77 33.48

Has anyone had any good results using spamassasin? If so, how did you go about setting it up? I was hoping someone would share some real world settings that work.

Can you control SPAM on a server ? I've got this email account that all receives is SPAM, nothing else. I'd like to eliminate this so it doesn't get any more SPAM.

I have ffmpeg installed on a webserver. If I enter the command to begin a conversion process, or the command is sent through PHP via exec(), it keeps going until it finishes or runs into an error.
Is there a way to cancel a conversion process after it's been started either through the command line or via PHP exec()?

I have CSF on my server (configserver security and firewall) and it blocks the IP when my server gets attacked, but it always seems to be a little too late... Apache goes down, even though the IP is blocked. I end up running:
iptables -I INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx -j DROP
service httpd restart
And that tends to sort things out... but the thing is, sometimes they still manage to attack and even though csf sends me messages explaining how it is connecting, I can check the "deny IPs" and the ip shows as blocked...
What other software is there (eg. mod_evasive... but how can I install it...) that I can run without harming my server, causing problems with CSF or any problems for that matter and how can I install it?

I designed one of my web services so that 'nobody' has to put commands to cron. Unfortunately this thing stops to work from time to time because "someone" is putting 'nobody' back to cron.deny file.
How to stop that?

Apache keeps stopping. MULTIPLE times per day! There is no logic to when it dies. But about every 2 hours.
Load stays below .30 and there is free memory available.
This is on a VPS machine. None of the other VPS's are having an issue. Just this one.
Centos release 5.3 (Final)
Apache/2.2.3
Here is what is in the httpd.conf file. I realize the numbers are way too high, but just trying to get this issue to go away.
Code:
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 100
MinSpareServers 100
MaxSpareServers 100
ServerLimit 512
MaxClients 512
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>
<IfModule worker.c>
StartServers 100
MaxClients 500
MinSpareThreads 25
MaxSpareThreads 75
ThreadsPerChild 25
MaxRequestsPerChild 100
</IfModule>
Here is what is in the /var/log/httpd/error_log file before it dies:
Code:
[Wed Jul 01 18:06:32 2009] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 98 idle, and 108 total children

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

We're currently testing Postini after checking with Message Labs, etc and it seemed that Postini was the most highly recommended out of all of them. We shall see, as there does seem to be ALOT that get past their filters with spam level filtering set at their most sensative level.
However, what could I do for accounts with Hosting Firms. We have a couple on Pair, and while they use SA, their filters doesn't seem to be really effective at all. Users can come in over the weekend, and have 5 valid emails out of 200 junk......
BTW, has anyone used any of the spam appliances out there lately.
We tested them about 1.5 years back and none were really effective

We have a VPS Server from one of the most reputable VPS Provider. We have 384 Guaranteed RAM and 1GB Burst. We have Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 265 - 1795.503 MHz with 1024 KB cached allocated to our VPS.
It is only hosting 2 average forums (10-15 concurrent users in total) and 30 small websites, low traffic websites.
The problem we are having is, almost 3 times a week, the cPanel, named and apache services keeps stopping. I am monitoring our server when this is happen and prior to the event its only using about 300MB RAM and low CPU..
What could be causing this problem? Do I need to upgrade our RAM?

i run a vbuletin forum, right now i am on a virtual dedicated
All my ips are stored on the same root ip, i am moving one of my forums from the default IP to a separate IP. I populated the DNS and my webite shows up properly on the new IP, but my forum is comming up as a database error.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem? Or tools I can run? Or is it merely not connecting to the database yet, because of some name server or other issue?

My site has outgrown my current host and I'm strongly leaning towards a vps. I am relatively inexperienced with web hosting as for the last 18 months I've had very few issues with my current host (Stream101.com). They are currently saying my site is very memory and processor intensive which is why I'm going to have to leave them soon(I can't pay the dedicated server prices that would give my site the stability I desire).
About my site:
My site has 18,000+ users, its about 18 months old. 5,632 threads, 78,967 posts. It used about 150gig of bandwidth last month. The site is growing quickly (IMO). The site makes some money, but not enough to justify spending what it would cost for a dedicated server.
I'm happy to provide any other information, but what I am looking for is suggestions on:
1) Is a VPS the right choice for my site in your opinion.
2) What hosting company's would you suggest I look into.
3) How much ram/processor speed should I be looking for
4) any other information you feel I should know about this.

I installed Team plus this vbulletin mod integrated into my vbulletin database
[url]
I'm getting the below error when attempting to connect to my TS:
[17:46:38] No reply from server
Maybe the server is offline
or maybe teamspeak is not running on it
However, the server is running on PID 2967
In CSF firewall, I have these enabled
TCP_IN = 8767,51234,14534
TCP_OUT = 8767,51234,14534
I tried the main server IP and even the IP that the domain is hosted on.
For http port, I also tried 80 default. I have no idea what goes in "server id" anyway.

I am on a VPS with Centos 4 OS and Cpanel/WHM.
I am going to soon be upgrading to the latest version of vBulletin (3.7.0). They are recommending PHP 5.25 with APC installed. I am talled that Zend (which I have installed and eaccelerator) is not compatible with APC.
The vBulletin people say that APC will perform better than Zend, and that zend should be disabled and APC installed and enabled.
A couple questions.
1. I'm curious what people's opinions are on here about APC vs. Zend (eaccellerator) or possibly xcache.
2. I have once been told that APC and xcache aren't compatible with Cpanel/WHM. Is this correct?
3. Assuming 2 isn't correct, if I decide to move to APC, what do I need to do to disable/uninstall Zend/Eaccellerator and install/setup APC?

I have the max vars and all that set right to conform to vbulletin, Only problem is now I keep getting this in /var/log/messages
suhosin[8569]: ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 4294967295 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker '*******', file '/home/user/public_html/includes/class_xml.php', line 35)
The line its pertaining to is @ini_set('memory_limit', -1);
I'm pretty sure its not blocking anything, least nothing I see but it does this everytime someone accesses certain pages on a forum.
My memory_limit for php is 60 mb, I checked out different ways of configuring it, but the only thing I think would stop the alerts is setting the suhosin memory limit to 4 gb, as it says the script is calling for that. But I suppose if there was a crappy or malicious php script they would easily be able to ini-set and suck all the memory.
So basically what i want to do is just disable this alert as its filling the messages up. Has anyone dealt with this before?

I am running about 20 servers with default exim configuration that cpanel
writes on the servers.
One of the servers get a very high load when some of the customers send
mails to
His clients through the VBulletin script.
These mails doesn't exceed 20 thousand mail , and when he sends load goes
very high,
However other servers sends maybe 40 thousand mails without a big problem ,
and with same configuration and specification.
What can I do , or where can I work around to decrease the exim consumption
of the load like that.
I' $ve tried queue_only_load=6 but no any benefit :-(

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.

A quick question for those running Vbulletin in Windows. I am running on a shared Windows 2003 server the Open Basedir is not enabled and the Safe Mode is off as per default setting. I can't change it as it is a shared hosting. The upload function is having problem due to the Open Basedir restrictions. Anyway to overcome that? The PHP is running in CGI mode.
