General :: How To Optimize Ubuntu Desktop To Run Webserver
Jan 30, 2011
I am using ubuntu desktop edition to run My drupal website on Intranet. I know for running web servers best thing to install is ubuntu server editions, but due to some problem i am using Desktop edition.I installed XAMPP on my machine an my website is up and running. I want to know how can i optimize my machine?? Since I will not use very less features of desktop editions are there any things which I can remove or stop which will free memory and cpu consumption, are there any packages which i should install to increase the performance of my ubuntu??

I have the most recent version of Ubuntu, and I'd like to optimize it. I have 888MB RAM and an older celeron processor. Here are the only things I use on a daily basis:
Firefox
Rdesktop
Apache2 / PHP5 / Mysql
OpenOffice
Pidgin (IRC chat client)
I feel like there is a lot of extra stuff I could remove, but I don't want to just start removing random things that may break dependencies, etc. I want to do this b/c it seems like my desktop is sluggish most of the time.

Ok let's say I have Apache Webservers on 2 different machines within my network, I have http://outterABC.com setup at dyndns.org to point to my modem at home, and my router forwards Port 80 to the ServerA Machine (i.e. 192.168.0.3). I can access my webpage I setup for the Server A Machine.
But what I want to try and do is somehow access my ServerB machine's website that is on my same network. I tried something like this http://ServerB.outterABC.com and the apache page came up with something like the page wasn't available. I want to access the content of the ServerB website, but because I have only one router, i can only forward Port 80 site traffic to my ServerA machine's website. I'm sure it's a different syntax I should use but i'm just not sure what I should enter to bring up the apache root web page for the Server B website via http://outterABC.com
I tried setting up DNS A records on ServerA, but I don't think it will work with what i'm trying to do above.

How can I optimize the boot time of Linux? Should I modify some scripts or init scripts? If yes, what are the scripts? Can I modify the kernel source?

I want to set up both a dns and web servers on the same machine for testing and practise purposes.
how to do it bcoz I can set up the webserver but I can't browse the website on the Fedora machine when I use my laptop. I have learnt that I should set up a Dns server.

for some reason when we browse our website on our local webserver (test environment) the pages load very slow.
There is no lack of memory, no lack of disk space, no lack of CPU power and as far as I know our network is very fast.Don't know where to begin looking, any suggestions ?

I wanted to add a user to have permission to login to our webserver. Foolishly I did not back this file up. The only thing I changed was the last part of the file which was:
# override default of no subsystems
AllowUsers chris acosentino
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
to
# override default of no subsystems
AllowUsers acosentino techmaster
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
Now I'm still connected with that terminal, but any other attempt to get into the webserver from either a new terminal or from winscp results in:ssh_exchange_identification:Connection closed by remote host.If I lose connection to this last terminal I guess I'll be screwed.

i didn't know where to post this so i decided on "General" section. I'm working with kind of an "old" computer, low HDD and graphics, but decent amount of RAM and good processor ( for an old computer, and it was bough for company use ) So i want to speed things up a bit, i don't mind waiting a bit longer when GIMP is loading, but FireFox is giving me issues, loads slower, and internet isn't as fast as its suppose to be, i started playing a game on facebook recently and it was fine, but lately it takes for ever to load and do things in it, i tweaked some options in it, and its better, but now when i click response time is slower ( altogether is quicker but still not enough )
Is there anything i can do?

I'm setting up a Python-based webserver on my Debian box. Setup: The Debian OS is VM based, but I've switched the VirtualBox from NAT to Bridged. IP of the VM setup = 192.168.1.7 (per my router's admin screen or ifconfig). I've succesfully set up my router's port forwarding for both ssh and HTTP. I've successfully set up my router's dynamic dns using [URL].
Regardless of the specific Python webserver I'm using (Django, CherryPy, standard library), I have to start the webserver @ 192.168.1.7:80 using sudo. Otherwise I get an error about not having permission to access the port. None of the webserver tutorials mention needing to use sudo when specifying an ip:port.
Question: why do I need to use sudo to start these webservers? Is it an indication that I shouldn't be using 192.168.1.7? Or that I'm not setting a config file properly somewhere?

The issue is i am using the RHEL server as my webserver and database centre. Now its a brand new formatted server with good amount of RAM and the usage is not much. Its being accessed locally over the LAN. But still i can see speed deficiency. Some of the pages do not get loaded and some times i can see the delays in loading the new pages. Any idea y is it so? Or is there anything i can do to increase the speed?

I previously installed centos using DHCP. Now I purchased a domain name and want to set it up as a webserver. if I choose the static ip address based on the existing DNS server given to me by the domain company, it will ask for the subnet mask, default gateway and i do not have them.

I snagged the 10.10 alternate install ISO for PPC and got it up and running on a 1ghz G4 eMac with 1gb of RAM and a 60gb HDD. It runs... OK. It could be a lot better. I'm planning to shut off the bluetooth and CUPS services since neither apply to this system; are there any other services I can shut down, or any other tricks I could do to make it run a bit more smoothly?
What about alternate window managers? I realise that the PPC platform kinda limits me, but what about TWM or FVWM?

Unfortunately my ubuntu installation wakes 31 seconds to get to the boot screen, almost identical to my windows 7 partition. I've already configured grub to my needs, so reducing the counter has already been done, but I have no idea what else to do for my boot speeds when it comes to ubuntu. If anything I can live with these times, but it would be very nice to have it boot at lightning speeds I may even buy a SSD when I get the money.

I have setup a Linux Centos with apache server on it in a home network. Everything works fine. When I access the webserver I put in the address bar the IP address of the server which is 192.168.0.150 and when hit enter, it prompts the page where I have to put login information. The login information is set to: username: admin@localhost.local password: *************
It takes long time for authentication go through and load the page eventhough I am accessing the site in a same home local area network with fast ethernet connection. How can I change the localhost.local to something else like maybe [URL] instead and if I have to change settings in other files as well?

I am finally coming around to selling my iMac G3s and eMac. I will reformat the drives in them and put on Puppy Linux for the iMacs and Xubuntu on the eMac. If I can, I will repair OS X on them all and will dual boot if possible. All of this will be done using the Intel iMac via Firewire. I would like to know if there is a way to make these machines any faster (without money) and "safer" so the next owner feels sure they won't be failing on them soon.

Recently I was trying to use Gentoo, and I was really impressed of how it is faster than Ubuntu in running applications, specially when I build wine and was able to run Oblivion at a reasonable speed. I would like to know if there is a way to compile Ubuntu from source code, to optimize it to my hardware.

I'm looking for a newbie friendly guide on tuning stuff like TCP and whatnot. I installed a program on my sister's Windows computer called Internet Cyclone and it did all the settings itself, but I can't seem to find such a program for Linux. I kinda want to learn to do it myself too, so can you point me to a newbie friendly guide on how to optimize my Internet connection settings?

I have installed a linux server, centos gui server with Raid1, his role will be only a file server. I installed samba and configured it. The file system is EXT3. the server got 4 gigs of memory.There is a program in windows that writes files to the share.I searched and i found that there is some commands that you add and they boost the performance.
I got complains that the writes are not fast enough. Before me another IT guy configured the file server and it was faster, what he told my customer that he changed some command of cache but i dont know exactly what he did. I have been asked to find how to boost the performance.Please give me more commands to try to boost the performance of Samba or tell me if i need to change anything..

I saw many people were talking about how to optimize apache and mysql here and also in other forums and blogs. I am currently hosting some sites and some IRCD processes (a tiny network)in a dedicated server with spec:
Quote:
Intel Dual Core 1.6GHz E1200
1GB RAM
160 HDD
10Mbits port
We got about 30,000 to 40,000 page views per day. I would like to ask people here about the opinion of apache and mysql optimization based on this server spec and current number of page view.

Go through the following script
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ascii=
index=0
for(( i=65; i<=90; i++ ))
[code]....
This code creates a file in which it writes a huge amount or records. But it takes a huge amount of time. Is there anyway of optimizing it?
