Server :: Will Icecast Or Similar Interfere With Normal Hosting Of Website
Dec 19, 2010
So I am (excitedly frustrated) 3-4 months from the first working install of my linux server. So I am setting up a team to work on the server, I have a couple questions. first what the server will do.The server will host icecast (internet broadcasting program similar to shoutcast), podcast versions of said shows, and a website.
1. Will icecast or similar interfere with normal hosting of the website (though they are coming from the same server I believe its broadcasted on different ports so I imagine not)
2. Should I use a seperate server to store the mp3's or is it ok to keep them where on the same machine ( I would like to keep them on the same machine, logicly I would think it would cut down on load time)
3. I am worried about server maintaince in the way of hackers n such as well as hardware and software, memory usuage, bandwidth is there a checklist and maybe a way to automate this.
I should clarify, I know how to tell schedule a task but what if I need it in perverbial safe mode (yay windows) and I can't be there for it to happen and when its finished return to work as usual by its self.
4. I was thinking my content (file) manager, server maintainer, and I would have access to wlan when we can't physically be there, is this safe? Can I make it safer? What about ftp for my webdesigners and podcasters?
5. I started having doubt about myself using linux (ubuntu server) because for cost saving I am sacrificing a gui as well as general knowledge. I have previously installed and got working a server in linux before but I don't know what hole I could have possibly left open. Question would it be better and easier to use someone else to host my site for me such as amazon or o-f.com or should I keep going with linux, or buy windows server?
I have application (WAR format) deployed on tomcat 5.5. I am able to access application using: "http://my_server_hostname/application_base_directory_name/hello.do" for example. I do not want my users to remember or bookmark the full link "http://my_server_hostname/application_base_name/hello.do"). Is there a way that i could have tomcat host it like a website and i can directly get the index page open by simply typing a url (http://hostname) in the browser? if possible, i would like to do it using tomcat only (no httpd connectors or modules).
I have hosted my site from some hosting service. They are providing pretty good C panel but my problem is that the host belongs from US and maximum hosted website from US and during united states office hours my site goes down because high usage and overload on mysql server. I have tried my pc to turn into web server by fedora 14 and I am successfully to do it. But I have only one pc and It's Intel dual core with 2 gb ram. I know It's pretty good configuration for F14. Bu My pc is more that 3 and half years old. So, I want to know is it will be good idea to convert my pc into web server or should I get a new one? Or what do you say If I get a used pc.
I'm running with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition and I have LAMP server installed on the machine. I'm wanting to host my Automotive Detailing website that I'm almost done with off of that server. I have decals made up for my car and friends cars with the domain that I have registered on it. Now, can someone please tell me where and how to put the files for my website on the server and how to configure everything so I can get it up and running ASAP?!? I'm fairly new at this Ubuntu and what not so I need a detailed tutorial
So this is what I need to know:
==> Where to put the webpage files ==> How to configure the server to open it up to the world wide web ==> How to change the IP Address to Static and how to know what to change it to. ==> How to point the registered domain to the server.
Like I said I'm fairly new at this so please be as detailed as possible!
First of all, let me just state that i want to make a small server for my home.. which includes hosting a website and a small FTP server.
Now as far as ease, stability, use, etc.. just overall, which would be more ideal to use for this?
My top choices are FreeBSD and Ubuntu Server.
However, I do not know which of these to go with, since this is my first time setting up a server. I hear BSD is really best for web servers, but I would like to hear what the people at LQ has to say.
I know Ubuntu Server would probably be more easy to set up, but how is it in terms of stability and speed?
Today I've found several attempt to access the following url on my website: [URL] After googleing a bit it seems that in some cases, using this attack, the bag guy is able to change the code in some of your files. it also seems to affect only a certain version of oScommerce. I don't use oScommerce, so I do believe that I'm on the safe side, but it's not the first time that I see some similar attempt of attack on my website. So to protect my self I was wondering if using .htaccess restriction would be enough?
Code:
########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits # RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymLinks
[code]....
But I do think that these rewrite string are more specificity write to protect oScommerce site. how to protect my web site from such attach and similar?
I'm doing an upgrade of a web based application for a charity organization. To test the changes that we're making to the code, I wanted to set up a server on my home PC to host a copy of the site. I've configured apache, php and mysql like the server that's currently hosting the real app, but I have a problem:The first page is a login screen. This, of course, has a login form like so:
After searching I cannot find what I am looking for. My wife has comissioned me to put together a cheap website to highlight her crochet projects. I had used OSX's web site server in the past. where the folder for web sites are in Ubuntu. This would get very low traffic and would be fine on a desktop computer. I see no reason to install Ubuntu server.
1- How can I prepare my own website in my own pc at home? I have had used Nvu in the past, but it looked to me very unstable (it disappeared from my screen at simple use, despite re-installing it again and again), and I think the Kompozer was also not very far from it, my experience.
2- How can I prepare my pc to run that website? What Linux software I need to download for? Do I really need to have a great cash to transform my poor pc into it? I think that because it is Linux-Ubuntu, not Windows, the situation can not be any worst or more expensive... uh?
3- In theory, if I have that website in my own pc... how I know that hackers can only see my page (in a separate-isolated folder from other folders, right?) and can not take a tour of my entire pc, documents, photos, etc, including copying or stealing archives or Ooo documents? It is not that the same way when (by example) a hacker can steal the next Stephen King book or script and sell/display it worldwide without even his knowledge?
My new line provider/ISP won't give me a static IP address - it's DHCP or nothing. Is there some trick I can use to allow myself to host a web page? I was thinking of getting a static address elsewhere, like at my sometime place of employment, and redirecting, but it just moves the problem downstream.Realistically, assume I leave my computer on and hardly ever reboot (CentOS is pretty stable), then will I typically keepthe same address for weeks or months at a time? If so, I could live with logging in to my registrar a few times a year to change the address, as bizarre as that would be
I have designed name based virtual hosting in apache. as of now,I am able to access website using IP also. which is I am looking to block, only can access by the name
I'm completely new to this whole hosting on linux thing. I'm using apache2 and have everything setup as if I was doing it on a windows machine but when I navigate to the site via URL it displays the source code as plan text and thats all I see. I'm running openSuse 10.3.
im trying to use ssh on my web hosting to install a magento testing website but i can't connect to it. i tried reading this [URL]...but now im stuck with this instruction.. By default the public key is saved in the file ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, while ~/.ssh/id_dsa is the private key. Now copy the id_dsa.pub file to the remote host and appended it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2: i searched for the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 in my web hosting file manager but i didn't find it..
I'm trying to get configured: (domain.com to be used for the purpose of explaining setup)
Root/naked domain (domain.com/www.domain.com) to be setup and configured with Apache/PHP/MySQL. Then radio.domain.com being controlled by IceCast with multiple streams (some live, some MP3 based).
The primary domain is already setup and configured under Apache, and IceCast is already installed, but here is where the problems start showing up.
It's my understanding that Ices2 cannot serve MP3's but only OGG files through IceCast. So just for the sake of testing and wanting to get a sample stream working, I placed a public domain OGG file into /etc/icecast2/music/ and called it "book.ogg."
Then the following are my configuration files: /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
how do i able to allow some users that are able to create content in directory of http server. For example: i have configured a web server which have default document root /var/www/html, now i want to extend my web server through virtual hosting , i have enable virtual hosting, but i want that user sumit is able to create content in /var/www/html/secret. which is the document root for my virtual site?
I've been trying for the past week to install an icecast server on my centos 5 VPS hosted through phurix.
I've tried compiling it, installing it from RPM. but im getting nowhere. Has anybody had any luck installing it, who wouldn't mind explaining how they went about it?
I've searched google for hours on end and all I can come up with is generic cent os 4 guides that just wont work. Im not the best when in comes to linux. I do a great job of copying and pasting to a shell prompt and can use ftp etc.
if this is any use.. heres the last output from my last attempt and compiling it...
[root@vps613 icecast-2.3.2]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/icecast checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
I have a few friends that have seen me bypass firewalls with a socks proxy (SSH). I explained on how it works and how secure it is for browsing the Internet and checking your email in public places. I had at least 6 asked me if I could set up an account on my server for them and they would pay me! Now what I wanted to know was how I can set this up in a server and website where they can register an account and pay me through PayPal! I don't need help setting up the site! Just on how to set up the server to automate this. What tools are needed (ex. ISPConfig, jailkit.... stuff like that?) I don't mind doing this manually but if I get more people that would like this I don't really want to do every single one.
I have been trying to perform a netinstall (of Debian). Will the WPA encryption on my wireless network prevent (or at least make difficult) the netinstall? Will I need to have the WPA password handy or even to temporarily remove the encryption?I haven't actually run into this problem yet; what I was dealing with on the last attempt, before I decided to finish the netinstall later and went back to my working Linux system (I got impatient with being stuck outside it), was that the netinstall couldn't detect my network by DHCP, and wanted me to enter an IP address. I don't suppose that would be any more difficult than going to the host computer and writing down its IP address, but thinking ahead, I wondered whether the WPA encryption would pose another problem.I didn't really think about these issues when deciuding to try a netinstall: whether my internet connection would work. I mean, if it doesn't, trying to netinstall is a waste of time.
i have been interested in starting up a website of my own, but i want to host it on my own personal server. unfortunately i have absolutely no experience with servers, and i dont even know where to begin.i have done some reading up and i think my choice will be a LAMP server.now to the question, lets assume that i know nothing but html, css, JS, etc. where would be the best place to start learning about servers, how to operate within a server, and the such? and which ubuntu server OS would be the best choice? i will also post my email address for an alternate method of communication.
We planned to buy new server for our company, which processor is best for, shared hosting , and nearly 300 clients are going to access this server, all live video streams websites are going to hosted in this server. so which processor is the best option to go,i found these are the best in this which processor give best performance forshared hosting.1. Dual Xeon E5405 2.0Ghz2. Dual Xeon E5130 2.0Ghz3. Core i7 2.66-2.93Ghz
Just wondering if it's possible to do virtual hosting without a registered domain name. I'm running slackware 13 and just trying to do it like this in my vhost config:192.168.15.149/test1.phpand 192.168.15.149/test2.php
I've rented a small virtual server with some friend for hosting our sites. we had lxadmin panel that is discontinued. Is there a free web-based panel for centos 5.3 that can be installed from a reliable repository without compiling (the vserver is too short on ram for such an operation).
I put this in the General Help section since this potentially deals with multiple things. Without further ado...On my Desktop, My host OS is Windows 7 while thru VMware i have Ubuntu as a Guest OS. I know it's easier to just use Ubuntu solely on the Desktop to host it as a media server, but for certain reasons (family and friends mostly) I'm using VMware instead. My goal is to use my Ubuntu OS thru VMware for others in my household to access it. So far, my Windows host can pick it up the media it's sharing, but not the rest of the network. I know it has to do with the NAT that VMware uses, but what's the best way to configure it to where other laptops, and ps3's on the network can see it?
i am configuring a web server with multiple virtual host on RHEL4 AS but i m getting no error except the following one.but when i browse the web site it does not work even
Starting httpd: [Sun Jun 13 05:53:57 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
my httpd.conf file is as follow
Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 # # NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier
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:
