View 1 RepliesOk 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.
I have one desktop machine with fedora 11 installed and a Laptop with both linux and Windows Xp. I use the laptop as my client machine.
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.
What's the best way to move over 500 sites from a webserver with apache and mysql on the same server.. to a new server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using squid3 on ubuntu server 10.10, publish my webserver running on other machine on ubuntu10.10 desktop. My server is configured for squid3 transparent proxy which is running successfully.
Now I need to publish my other machine which is running with apache2 webserver.The local IP is 192.168.1.5, I need to assign a public IP as 61.8.153.212 provided by ISP.
use my webserver machine outside the LAN using internet, through ubuntu server 10.10 squid3.
The server I'm running runs Debian Etch, Squid and Shorewall. Every 24 hours the server gets a new internet IP so I need to use dyndns to keep the dns pointing to the correct PC.
I have a webserver that is running behind the debian server and am having trouble with it. When I enter the web address, it gets a timeout.
I have a dedicated server which I run on him only one website which has about 11k-15k unique visitors per day.
The httpd processes stuck it almost everyday and I can't understand why... I fix it via "killall -9 httpd" and then "service httpd start". code...
I am interested in setting up a webserver on a PC I have laying around...more for the experience and knowledge of learning it from scratch. I have used dedicated servers before with webhosting, but did not do the installations of apache and other items. The server we had purchased had CentOS installed.
My question is, can I use this desktop I have to simply install the CentOS DVD torrent off their website, and start from there, with installing apache, and all the other items associated with a server environment to test/play around, or is there a difference and something I am missing with my plan to do this?
The end result will be having my desktop setup as a "server" I can ssh into and screw around with just to learn more about it.Sorry for the basic question. (i posted this here instead of the "newbie" section, since i figured it would get moved here)
I have a Ubuntu server (10.10) setup with apache and is being port NAT'ted via firewall from outside to the webserver.I am able to access the webserver from inside LAN but not from outside. NATs are working fine because I can see the traffic come through on tcpdump but the webserver will not respond to the request from outside ip address.Here are the tcpdumps.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe 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?

So currently we are restarting the apache service daily basis, i have attached the config with this thread could anyone suggest how to fine tune apache so it works fine without restarting it daily?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 4 centos5 apache webservers all on the same network, recently, 2 of the webservers have stopped being able to ping or browse one particular website where feeds are obtained from this site. I have checked and firewall and selinux settings are disabled. The two webservers are able to ping and browse other sites. Dns settings are the same for all 4 servers. traceroute for working and not working webservers are the same.

However, for some reason, I can get to the server from other PC's on the Router, but from outside, it will not port to the Server?
Any ideas on how to setup this?

I had installed apache previously on my system, and I think I uninstalled it completely, although remnants might have remained. I have just installed zend server ce php 5.3, and I am having trouble getting it to work. When I log in to the admin interface, it told me it couldn't start the webserver, so I go to restart apache, and it gives me this:* Starting web server apache2 Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/sitesenabled/zendserver_gui.conf:Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configurationThis has to do with php_mod some how... but I am not sure how to fix this, or where to start, since I am relatively new to actually setting up apache.I thought this might have something to do with libapache2-mod-php... so I went to reinstall it, and ran this:
mburns@mb2449-laptop:~$ sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the opportunity to set up our local public library with a linux server. The primary need is for the server to land wifi users to a hotspot splash screen where they will accept terms of use and indicate what town they are from by checking a box or selecting from a dropdown menu. Users of terminals in the library would also have to indicate what town they are from. Things such as content filtering may come later. What distro would be recommended for this? Ease of use and configuration is important. They basically want to track use of the internet.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am buying a VPS from my host and they are offering me the following distro's:
CentOS 5.5
CentOS 5.4 w/ Kloxo
CentOS 5.4 w/ cPanel
Ubuntu 10.04
OpenSuse 11.1
Slackware 13
Debian 5
Fedora 12
What I Plan to Do?I plan to have multiple sites about 15 of them to be exact, running off a VPS. I also wish to install a RTMP:// (FMS) on it.I want these sites to be about 15,000 guests per/day maximum, I will be streaming to the RTMP server from Flash Media Encoder, and having it stream to some of my websites so users can watch.I don't know what web control panel to use, because cPanel is expensive, and it's the only one I've been exposed to, so if you could recommend a control panel also, that would be awesome.
I have an old SPARCStation 10. I'm looking for a distro to toss on it so I can use it as a DNS server. I've tried both OpenBSD and NetBSD...one throws an exception, the other locks up soon after booting into the OS. From the looking that I've done, the ones that support the SPARC platform only support SPARC64. Are there any that I can put on that old Sun machine?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).
