way to create a VPN tunnel between two ubuntu servers?
Both will be in seperate datacentres but I'd like a secure tunnel so I can setup jobs to backup to one another.
This has to be done on the server level and cannot be done at the router/firewall as I do not have access to this kit.
Ubuntu how good it is for hosting platform? also what are its advantages over other os?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen we chose Symfony to implement [url], PHP 5 was needed but we only had PHP 4 installed in our Ubuntu hosting servers. We couldn¡¯t just migrate everyone to PHP 5 since some of client¡¯s applications were incompatible with PHP 5. Some tutorials were found online explaining how to run PHP 4 and PHP 5 simultaneously such as [url] and [url]but they all used CGI. As you probably know, CGI is not scalable and we needed to scale in PHP4 and PHP5 since we needed to server millions of hits in both configurations. The following are additional the requirements we had:
1. Run Apache
2. Use mod_php for both PHP versions.
3. Run eAccelerator with both PHP versions.
4. Use as many Ubuntu packages as possible to ease maintenance issues and easily deploy on multiple servers.
5. Use Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
The solution we came up with was to run Apache 2 with PHP 5 and run Apache 1 with PHP 4 on separate IPs. Ubuntu comes already with these packages. The only package we had to compile was eAccelerator. The following lists the steps taken to get this setup:
Apache 2 with PHP 5
* apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-cli php5-curl php5-gd php5-mysql php5-dev make php5-mcrypt php5-imap
* vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and uncomment extension=mysql.so
* vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf and put Listen Your.IP.Goes.Here:80
* a2enmod expires
* vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/hosting

I've just ordered a dedicated server with Ubuntu server, but they've come back to me to say that they've had trouble installing Ubuntu server on these particular servers.
As an alternative, they're offering to install Debian. My concern is that I come from a windows background and have spent the last month reading and playing with Ubuntu Server in vmware. I'll be running a small handful of sites on the server and will rely on the apt-get and package installer in webmin to get things set up and for administration. I'll dabble in the shell a little, but only when needed.
Should I go with a different host that can offer Ubuntu, or will I be okay with Debian?
I have just ordered a VPS from VPSempire to learn more about web servers and server in general.
I hope to install a few free control panels to play around with, webmin doesn't seem enough, what do you recommend?
The VPS is very low spec:
5gb Hard Disk Quota
50gb Monthly Bandwidth
128mb Guaranteed Ram
256mb Burstable Ram
Does any host have VPS's running Ubuntu?

Have been trying to get BFD and APF Antidos (not at same time) to work on Ubuntu 5.10 / Plesk and 6.06 (No Plesk yet) servers. APF appears to work fine after checking /sbin/iptables -L -n
Both cronjobs run but getting a lot of brute force attacks to ssh and Plesk but no offending IP's are being blocked and no e-mails reporting that they are being blocked. Log files for BFD and Antidos are always "0". Everything setup and configured the same as on my previous CentOS servers.
Can't find much on the net with this newer OS. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get one of these to work on the systems above? Thought it might be a path error referencing rc.d but put a symlink in for that and no change.
The past week I've been trying to answer the hardest question. I'm an expert windows user and a Novice Linux user.
I have a server built and ready for an operating system, this will be a development server for database and web development. It will also likely turn into an encrypted file server as well.
I do not plan on doing much else other then that.
Is it worth it to struggle through and learn the Linux command line or should I go for Windows Server something I am more familiar with?

email configuring problem.
I have a complete 512mb vps on slicehost.com All configuring went well.
But for some reason I can't get my email-server to work. I have followed all tutorials on articles.slicehost.com/email Also I have installed atmail(.org) on my subdomain for email.
I always get the error the password isn't correct. Also when I try with Outlook.
The password is encrypted.
I understand an email setup is a complicated thing, and you probably need more information. But do you guys have any suggestions on what it might be? I'm a newbie, so it surely can be a newbie issue.

I'm trying to compile PHP 5.2.1 on my Ubuntu 6.10 server. I've downloaded the source code from php.net and am running the following configure command on it:
Code:
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --with-mysql --with-informix=/opt/informix --enable-shared --enable-pdo=shared --without-sqlite --without-pdo-sqlite --with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-zlib --with-xml --with-pdo-informix=shared,/opt/informix
After doing this, then make, I copy over the generated libphp5.so file into my Apache extensions directory, add extension=pdo.so (and lines for the PDO-MySQL/Informix extensions) into my php.ini and restart Apache. I would expect to see PDO, PDO-MySQL and PDO-Informix listed in my phpinfo() - but they don't appear.
So, I tried recompiling PHP but without any of the PDO extensions being shared. This worked, and I could see PDO and PDO-MySQL in phpinfo(), but not PDO-Informix.
So, can anyone hazard a guess as to why none of the PDO extensions load when compiled shared? I don't get any related error messages in the Apache or System logs by the way....
I am running ubuntu server 6.
I'm just wondering if I should install webmin under root using the sudo command or should I create seperate user space for it?
A little background on what I'm doing here...
I'm setting up a Linux machine specifically for use as a VNC here at work.
The IT Manager said he'd used Ubuntu before but left the distro up to me.
I set up my test machine with Ubuntu but need to compile Apache for portions of it to work. I've never had any problems building Apache before, but this is what I'm getting here. I have a feeling that, since I've not used Ubuntu before, that I'm just missing a step. I also noticed that the "make" command doesn't work. Does that need to be installed and compiled as well?
