CentOS 5 :: Easiest Way To Mirror Existing Server Setup On A New Server?

Jan 13, 2011

We have two CentOS 5 servers in production (web and database). We are setting up a single staging server that will mirror the configurations of these servers as closely as possible. What is the easiest way to ensure the exact same software and configs as the production servers are setup on the new staging server. Our contracted data center provider has already informed us that they do not perform images and NO we do not have physical access to the machines. It is undetermined whether we will be virtualizing the staging server into two virtual servers yet, so for the purposes of this post lets assume we are not. I'm seeking a faster/more precise method than doing this by eye and hand.

Some information on our web server code...

Ubuntu :: Setup Local IRC Server?

Jun 12, 2011

I am trying to set up an IRC server on my local network.
The Ubuntu wiki tells me to install ircd-hybrid and then try to connect to my server with a chat client.

I tried connecting with irssi on localhost port 6667 but it says "Connection refused on port 6667".
The #ubuntu channel told me I have to configure my firewall for that.

I can ssh to localhost with no problem on port 22 but not on 6667 which lets me think the port is blocked.

Ubuntu :: Setup A Local Web Server To Test PHP Pages?

Aug 11, 2010

I have downloaded the Apache web server so I can set up a local web server to test my PHP pages. The download automatically went into the default "Downloads" folder instead of the /opt folder where the Apache instructions said to download the file to. I have tried to move the file from the Downloads folder to the /opt folder but am denied access - says I don't have enough privileges (or some such thing?). Bummer.

So I tried to use the terminal to install the file that I downloaded from Apache (following their instructions - actually copied/pasted the command line so there would be no typo problem) - no joy.

The first thing I was instructed to do was to enter the su command, which I did, and was asked for a password. I have tried every password I have ever used on this system and I receive the following:

su: Authentication failure

and it returns me to the prompt. What is my password?

I checked the archives for similar problems and came up with zero relevant hits.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A DNS Server On Local Network?

Jun 14, 2011

I am trying to setup a DNS server on my local network. When I set linux clients to use it, it works as expected. However, when I set windows clients to it, the root name doesn't resolve. For example, I have a zone called daniel. On linux "anything.daniel" resolves to the correct ip as does "daniel" which is the behavior I want. However, on windows 7, "anything.daniel" resolves correctly, but "daniel" doesn't. I am new to BIND9 so my config is mostly copy and pasted. Here is my zone file for daniel (where #.#.#.# is the ip I want daniel to resolve to):

@ IN SOA ns1.daniel. admin.daniel. (
2007031001
28800

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A File Server For Local Network?

Aug 15, 2010

I'm trying to setup a NAS for my network, the only problem is that I can't figure out how to do it. On my network I have about 3 computers however only I only use 2 of them so I thought that maybe I could use the third computer in such a way that I could access it 24/7 from the internet as a server for all of my files (school papers, music etc etc...). The only problem is that I don't know where to get started. Both of the computers I'm currently using are Windows and the one that I,hopefully, can turn into a server is running on Ubuntu.

Consequently it is not using my local mirror at all. Tell me how to set no proxy for the local mirror. I want my local mirror because it's damn fast. My proxy settings are like this (they go in /etc/yum.conf):

Server :: Unable To Setup A NIS Server Setup On CentOS System

Jan 19, 2010

We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.

Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".

I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .

Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?

Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?

Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:

The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

I have a remote drive mounted on my system(ubuntu 10.04 x64), and i have the contents of that drive backed up to dropbox. the problem is, if i unmount the drive, the files disappear from dropbox. is there a way to mirror the contents of the network drive to a localfolder(preferably in such a way that all changes and file deletions are changed on the local folder instantly, but unmounting doesn't delete it all)? It looks like rsync would work, but im not sure how to make it work.

I tested mirror consistency by putting the mirror addres I'm syncing with, directly into repo file. Than yumex works fine. I tried several different mirrors with the same result.

Server :: Setup Master / Master Mysql In HA Setup Without Use Of Load Balancer Provided By Host?

Mar 31, 2010

I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?

Applications :: Create Local Mirror Of Remote Server Without Altering It?

Jul 29, 2009

I'm new here and hope to profit from your immense linux knowledge and of course to share my own experience where I can.

I'm in a student organization and we use a file server that runs linux. I can log in through ssh and copy using scp using login and password (no rsa/dsa keys because most users are windows users using winSCP and they're lacking in computer knowledge so we don't require them to mess around with keys)

However, I don't have network access everywhere, so I'd like to make a copy on my laptop harddisk of some of the folders I use most frequently. Note that I don't need it to copy files from my pc back to the remote server so I don't need two-way sync. Deleting the local copy every time and downloading a new full copy is not an option as we are talking about several gigabytes and the download speed is limited. Normally I would use Unison, however, this requires unison to be installed on both pc's and I can't install any software on the file server so this is not an option.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? I'm reasonable knowledgable about linux so I don't mind tinkering with some config files and using command line applications.

Debian :: How To Setup A Server

Dec 14, 2010

I work for a small business that is in need of a web host change, because we're apparently getting too big for our current web host. Being the IT tech for the small business, it's up to me to get this website of ours moved to something that can host us with no trouble. After doing research and listening to other local small businesses with similar problems, we've decided to settle with Amazon's EC2 service. Since their "instances" will almost act like virtual private servers with our own choice of OS, and offering a pay what you use service with seemingly no limits, it fits our demands quite well. But, before we just go sign up and try to get this working, I need to first try and figure out how this is done. Truth be told, I have never once set up my own server, so this is mostly completely foreign to me, though I am willing to learn whatever it takes to get this done.

How exactly does this involve Debian, you ask? I'll explain. Before I took over as the IT tech, the previous guy (who left and moved away to earn his PhD) helped me learn a little bit of stuff before he left. He did so by having the business buy the necessary pieces to build a computer from scratch, and installed Debian as the OS. I learned enough Debian to do simple things like use the terminal, setting up crontab and other innocuous little things. It wasn't until after he had left that we found out that our current web host is finding our website getting too big for them to handle. As I still remain in contact with the previous guy in between his work on his PhD, he agreed with our choice on using Amazon EC2 as our host, but also suggested before starting up with them, to attempt to see if I can get the website to work on this Debian machine, and to mimic the same procedure on the Amazon instance once we sign up to make the change as quick as possible.

The problem with this stems back to what I said earlier, in that I have no idea how to set up a web server, and my knowledge with Debian is quite limited. I have no idea how to set up our website (which I have downloaded everything for it already) on this machine so I can see if it works, and then replicate the work on the Amazon instance (to which I would choose Debian as the OS). I figured there must be guides somewhere to help an idiot like myself in doing this, but I've had little luck in finding anything of the sort. The best I have found was installing LAMP and ensuring Apache, PHP and MySQL (the languages our website uses) and have followed that, but beyond that I have no further idea. Other guides I have found really only teach how to install other languages and packages that our website doesn't use. Which is why I'm here.

Debian :: How To Setup A Home Server

Feb 14, 2010

I want to try and set up a server on a home PC, using Debian of course, rather than on a remote server. hosting web pages, a mail server and a file server etc. Installation looks fairly straightforward. However, there are one or two things that are not too clear to me:

A. Is it best to connect the server using Ethernet or is wireless OK with network manager or wicd or doesn't it matter? Answer: Wired ethernet is best

B. if the IP of my desktop Debian (wireless) has the same IP as the server, how do I connect from my desktop? The router has its own static IP address but assigns two different IP addresses, one to the desktop computer and the other to the PC being used as a server.

C. I have a static IP and a domain.com without hosting but it's status is "parked". Not too sure what this implies. [When domain is "parked" it means it is still hosted by the company that registered it. So it's necessary to "unpark" it.] It was very easy to unpark the domain as explained in a reply post below.

D. setting up DNS with the static IP? [Answer: in the case of the company i registered with, I didn't have to set up any DNS because the domain works with the company name servers, so it was much less complicated than i imagined.]

E. I seem to have only ONE Primary DNS for my connection.

F. it's better on a server to have no Desktop. It looks easy enough to install but, accustomed though I am to the CLI. configuring without cut and paste is very tedious.Can anyone suggest a way round this? I've thought of trying to use the lynx browser and nano. [Answer: Best to install the server without a Desktop. For editing files I used PuTTy, which enables me to cut and paste and nano having found vi pretty unfriendly. One day i'll get round to using vi or vim which may be more than a blast from the past! Once the thing is fully set up it would be nice to connect to the server from the first desktop computer using GUI tools.

Debian :: Mail And IM Server Setup ?

Aug 22, 2011

I would like to set up a mail and instant messaging server running on squeeze.It will be running on a 1ghz celeron (pentium 3 era) with 1gb ram and 10gb hdd (I'm assuming these are high enough specs) It will have less than 10 accounts and probably no webserver (not sure if good idea). I am also unsure of what IM protocols would be best for this. I would prefer to do all this from the command line if possible (so long as it's not too hard) and preferably from a remote machine (so SSH?) I prefer IMAP if possible but pop3 and smtp are also fine. I would also like to be able to connect remotely with encryption (not a big requirement -just a nice feature)

Ubuntu :: Setup A Non-local Virtual Desktop?

Feb 14, 2011

I've never even set up a virtual desktop on Windows so I'm not sure where to start. I noticed that there's a menu in Ubuntu to set this up, but I followed the instructions (can't remember what they were off hand) and it said that the computer was only accessible through a LAN. I want to leave the Ubuntu machine (my laptop) at home and be able to access it through my desktop (Win7) in college (long story but I don't think that matters). It's possible to do this, right? How would it be done? I understand that LogMeIn doesn't work with Linux, so I'm guessing I have to use Ubuntu's default virtual desktop program and a Windows program like TightVNC, but I'm not sure how to make the laptop accessible from something other than a local network.

Debian :: Server Setup With Static IP Not Accessible

Jan 22, 2011

I setup a server last night and was able to remotely connect to it and access the internet with it. However, now that I have setup /etc/network/interfaces so that the server will have a static IP address, I cannot access the server remotely. Also, from the server itself, I cannot access the internet. Ping provides "unkown host" for any website I try. How do I fix this?! I don't know why this is happening.

Here is my interfaces file:
Code: ...
#The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
# also tried with and without auto eth0
# auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.133
netmask 225.225.225.0
gateway 192.168.1.1 This is the only NIC on the server.

Here is ifconfig:
Code: eth0
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
