General :: Pros And Cons Of Virtual Hosting Versus Separate Machine
Feb 9, 2011
I am having vitural hosting around three websites using Centos. I need to type in the full domain name include www to enter the 2 of the vitural hosting sites. Pros and Cons of vitural hosting vs separate machine? I got a questions about static IP. Assume I having a linksys router with port forwarding function, I have three seperate machines with different private address connect to the same linksys router. Can I entry all private address forward to port 80? Does it work? If I insist to host website on three machines, does that mean I need 3 static IP and 3 linksys router? I got two conventional web services only showing information but one got mysql db for user to input data, thats why I asking if it is good idea to seperate web page on different machines.

I'm mentoring my local high school's IT club as they prepare to participate in a cyberdefense competition (see IT Olympics). Generally we are given four boxes and need to set up a network that provides certain services (which services change from year to year, but usually include a web server, email server, FTP server, and an application server of some sort) and support client PCs that connect from the WAN. The red team then tries to break into our network to steal "flags" from our servers and to set their own "flags" on our servers.
Generally we set up the firewall with two network interface cards (one to the WAN and one to our LAN), and connect the LAN NIC to a router, which then connects to the other three boxes. But we do have the option of installing additional NICs in the firewall and configuring it as a router. I can't shake the feeling that there is a security advantage to such a configuration, but I can't say what that advantage is. Perhaps something with configuring ipTables on the internal boxes to accept connections only from the firewall's NIC, and then only for the services we want that box to support (to prevent an intruder from connecting directly from one box to another)?

At work / home / laptops I have about 5 slackware machines. I have always tended to install new packages on each machine from source, generally using slackbuilds when available. I thought I would try 'libreoffice' and reading alien-bobs blog I deduced that a full from source install might be pretty difficult, so I followed his advice and just took the package (.txz file) and used installpkg. To my slight surprise this installed and ran perfectly.
Now I'm wondering if someone would clarify under what circumstances you can just take the slackware package from one machine to another and install. More generally I guess what are the main advantages of building from source. Is it mainly about availability of all the required dependencies?

I'm thinking about the near future with Unity and GNOME Shell. I've tried both a little and wondered what I'm missing; they seem pretty much the same on the outside! I'm assuming it's similar to GNOME and XFCE; they look quite similar, with XFCE aiming to be lighter-weight, but what's the difference between these two new 3D environments? Why did Ubuntu fork the GNOME environment when it barely differs from what GNOME are providing?

I am trying to format an external hard drive and wanted to know the pros and cons of various different formats offered in Linux. I hear that ext4 is better (most stable) than anything else (better than ext3 or ext2) for Ubuntu. I wanted to know where I can obtain more info on these various formats. I want a format that would be (1) as stable as it can get in formating a hard drive, and (2) readable and writable in both Windows and other versions of Linux (say Mandriva).

Having both a /usr and /usr/local partition seems logical: A seperate partition for /usr would preserve the /root partition since it changes in size, while reducing the initial install size of /root. Having a /usr/local partition would then preserve custom software (ie. scribus, bender etc.)not distro related, scripts, and settings.
Would having /usr and /usr/local create any problems locating files? I understand that /usr/local has a relative function depending on whether it is being used as a machine in a network context or whether it is being used as a desktop and /usr/local refers to user custom files. I am setting up slackware64 multilib and think I want to preserve both distro and user files to expedite do overs keep trouble shooting clean.

I understand it is not generally a good idea to mix 13 and 13-current packages but I am installing OpenProj which requires JDK and the installed JRE (6-18) is up-level from 13's JRE (6-16) and back-level from the 13-current JDK (6-19). Presumably JRE and JDK should be at the same level. Would it be better to take both JRE and JDK to 13-current (6-19) or to take both to 13 (6-16)?

I was told that I could create multiple websites ona single machine useing Virutual Hosts.I have RedHat Linux 9 running Apache/2.0.40. I want to make offline test sites to learn with and have read it is as simple as changing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file but I have not been able to make it work yet. I have read over the past 3 days of working on this that the default virtual host must contain the same DocumentName and ServerName as the global info above the Virtual Host Section in the httpd.conf file.Above Virtual Host Section:
Code:
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

I have just finished bulding a virtual web hosting server on my CentOS-5.5 x86_64 linux box with several websites hosted and its working fine. Now I have to build and FTP service in this webhosting server so that i can create indviudal login for each website and provide access to thier respective web directory only. This is where I am stuck. I have been trying to find out some docs and instructions to achieve this but in vain.
What I need is to configure an FTP service in the web server so that individual owner of websites can login to thieir respective web directories only and upload and download files as well as create, delete and modify the contents of their web directory.

I am running vsftpd-2.2.2-3 on my Fedora 12 box. This box has multiple IPs. What I am looking for is make vsftpd listen on those multiple IPs and when a user FTPs to a certain IP, they get landed to the home directory that has been configured for the IP.
This feature is there in Proftpd and is called virtual hosting. I tried to find for Vsftpd such feature, but couldn't find out exactly how to implement in it. how to implement virtual hosting in Vsftpd?

I am trying to get name based virtual hosts all running on HTTPS (port 443) so I can run multiple sites on the one IP.
The DocumentRoot needs to be different for each host.
[URL]
However, I am unable to find where to actually enable these hosts in the configs. The apache website says to put it in httpd.conf however that file is empty on my machine.
The existing default virtual hosts are in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" and "default-ssl"
The main config file is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
I am running version 2.2.16 of apache
I need to use the same .htpasswd file for all the sites.
I have configured CNAMES on my domain for all of these hosts.

Over the years I've had various flavours of linux on webservers, each has handled this in it's own way - some due to the GUI that was installed etc...
What is your prefered way of holding NameBased Virtual Host records...?
Is it like the redhat system having a sites-available and a sites-active and sim linking the records of the active sites and having httpd.conf only get the info from sites-available?
I know that some people have all the Virtual Hosts records at the end of httpd.conf (or apache2.conf)
What would you do if you had to start a fresh?
I'm running
CentOS 5.5
LAMP (Latest versions at 1/8/10)

I have some problem in apache2 configuration. I have two websites on same IP on LAN.i.e. 192.168.1.5
[Code]...
What should I check in a few blogs I checked they said to mention in [URL]...But in this case what should I put I have two different websites or what other thing I have missed? I do not have access to DNS so that on LAN I can point site1.abc.com and abc.com to same IP 192.168.1.5 which to me seems could resolve the issue.
