Ubuntu Servers :: How Are The VPS Server Configured At Hostgator
Jul 19, 2011
I just install a new server and I would like to now what are the basics that I should install. It currently has LAMP stuff. Any one know how are the VPS server configured at hostgator.com and similar web hosting platforms.
I have a RedHat box that I have configured, security, audit rules, latest updates, etc. I want to be able to "image" that configuration so I can kick other boxes with that "image", that way no other configuration/updating needs to be done on the newly kicked boxes. What is the best way to accomplish this? To make things more difficult, it would be near to impossible for me to pull any software off the internet for this.
I am having trouble with setting up BIND9 for 6 virtual servers that use ubuntu x64 v10.10. I have main server running ubuntu as well. host name is xeonserver I would like to explain my setup first.
my router ip: 192.168.1.1/24 host server for VMs ip: 192.168.1.2/24 Then on qemu my virtual machines are in 10.0.0.0/24 network, gateway to my router is 10.0.0.1
1. kerberos.xeonserver (not configured yet) 10.0.0.2 2. dns.xeonserver (the one I have trouble with) 10.0.0.3 3. mysql.xeonserver (not configured yet) 10.0.0.4 4. apache.xeonserver (not configured yet) 10.0.0.5 5. ftp.xeonserver (not configured yet) 10.0.0.6 6. mail.xeonserver (not configured yet) 10.0.0.7
To configure it I followed instructions found on [URL]
Basically im trying to setup a dynamic vlan setup with my Cisco 2950 switch. I understand that freeradius has support for vmps and i'm wanting to use this. (as i'd also use the radius server for authentication for my squid proxy server)
But i have no idea where to start to get this configured. Right now i've got the freeradius package installed and i've done a bit of google'ing and i cant seem to find much about vmps and freeradius.
My problem is configure and start FTP server on own computer. I edited configure files, and i try to run ProFTP. Then i see that communication: Launch proftpd: - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'dhcppc1'
Configuring PIII600e, Slackware 12.2, with 2hdd (160Gb each) for Virtual Web,MySQL,PHP,DDNS,SSHd,Mail,ProFTP servers. I have 3 other PCs w/Slackware12.2, 1 XPwindows, and mac laptop on the LAN. Will be putting webpages together on slackware 12.2, XP, and Mac. *Read some where I don't need /home directory on server box, just use /home directory from other slackware box's /home directory- Since only user on server will be Administrator - how does this work? Will i work with Dupral? Does an Admin directory take the place of home? explain the advantages of configuring server box without /home directory and how its done?
I googled upto my capability but cant find answer so asking you In one of my apache 2.0.52 machines, we are using worker MPM model. Even if I use 1 start servers, the # of http processes it starts is 5. No matter what value I pass in StartServers, I dont see more than 5-6 http processes
Multipathing in linux -need to check how the luns are configuredI have no idea about luns configuration in linux environment(newbie) and now i have issue figuring out the configurationSenario,By the look of the multipath output 3 luns are connected to server1 is from Hitachi and 2 from Sunstorage(Thumper)What i am trying to achieve,I need to check how the 3 luns are configured on OS levelI need to differentiate Hitachi and thumper lun The next is to check whether 3 luns are mirrored or not (if not ,how they configured)The third and last .I need to remove the mirroring luns (if exist) and leave the system with only Hitachi lun
I installed sendmail in my fedora 7 system. i took the advice as provided in this url [url] I started with "Configuring s`endmail"
Then i went with installing MailScanner without going to clamav and spamassasin installation as i don need it.
I just configured my local domain and assigned a my own IP address. But there was nothing mentioned with configuring the port number. So i just went with "netstat -nl" command. And it showed that my IP is lisening on port 53.
I created 2 users for the domain and i sent mail via telnet. The mail entry got entered in maillog file. But i receive multiple unwanted entries that mail is sent from "root" to "root". But i didn't bother about that.
I proceeded with the next step of configuring the two users on thunderbird. I configured with pop3 on port 53 with the localdomain. Now i sent mail from one user to the other. The mail entry got stored in maillog but i couldn't retrieve the mail on my inbox.
i have installed centos 5.5 and rhel5 on vmware but i want to use rhel5 as a yum-client of centos 5.5 . but it is not working for me.i have worked on rhel5 with yum already but there was no problem at all.i am using centos 5.5 first time so i want to know whether there is any difference b/w configuring rhel5 and centos5.5?my centos 5.5 yum server file is given below
I have configured an nfs server like this: #vi /etc/exports /var/ftp/pub*.dell.com(rw,sync)& configured yum server from client yum update is working but by using nfs method if i am trying to mount i am getting this message mount 192.168.0.254:/var/ftp/pub failed,reason given by serverermission denied
I added an init script numbered just before bind9 starts, which needs to see the ipv6 link-local address on eth0. Sometimes this address is not configured, yet. In all cases it eventually is configured.
I am unable to find any script that is configuring the ipv6 link-local address (which is in part based on the MAC address). Does anyone know if there is some script or program that is supposed to be doing this, or is it an internal kernel function?
One workaround I am considering is making this init script go into a loop around sleep 1 to keep checking for the ipv6 address. But I'm concerned this might cause some problems. Any suggestions? I don't want to let it move on to start bind9 until the configuration this script does (more ipv6 addresses) is done.
This is on Ubuntu 9.10 server (for which there is not a prefix choice).
When I start the vncserver process, I get a message saying "Starting VNC server: no displays configured." I edited the /root/.vnc/xstartup file and changed twm & to say "gnome-session &" (Without quotes). Not sure why I am still seeing this error. It's CentOS 5.4.
I have a openvpn server configured and users are using from remote location. I got some errors in the /var/log/messages file as:PHP Code:

I just installed Debian 5.0.4 successfully. I want to use the PC as a File Server with two Drives configured as a RAID 1 device. Everything with the RAID device works fine, the only question I have belogs to the GRUB 0.97 Booloader. I would like to be able to boot my Server even if one of the disks fail or the filesystem containing the OS becomes corrupt, so I configured only the data partitions to be a RAID 1 device, so on the second disk should be a copy of the last stable installation, similar to this guide:[URL]...
I want to know something: i have a OS based on Debian configured and installed on a machine that controls all the network. Then, I can access it via another machine (with Windows for example) (connected by crossover cable or using a switch) by a web browser where I can do everything, including adding hosts, adding users, configure mail servers, voip, configure domains, etc etc etc..I would like to install Nagios on my server but I would like to monitor the hosts, routers that I have on the network using the Windows machine. How can I do that? Isn't it supposed to access the nagios information only in the machine where it is installed?
I want to restrict some site (Social Networking) through my newly configured squid proxy. But It always allow those site How to block those site. My squid.conf file is configured as follow :-
#Recommended minimum configuration:
acl all src all acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 0.0.0.0/32
It's been a while since I configured a raid and have been making some changes to my main workstation/server. fdisk does not like md devices on my machine... always says it has an invalid partition table. While this is said to be normal all over the net, I don't feel warm and fuzzy about that fact. What is best practice these days, to create a non-partitionable md device or a partitionable mdp device?
If I create a partitionable md device, I would imagine it would look good in fdisk. However, I am concerned about growing the array afterward. I would then have to grow the array, redefine the partition, and then grow the file system. The PITA factor goes up. Has anyone worked with both? Pro/Cons? My array was created with:
I just ran into a weird problem with a CentOS 5.5 64-bit server running VirtualBox 3.2.8 (I would run Vmware Server 2.0.2 if not for the well known fact that Vmware doesn't care about its Server line anymore and it doesn't run on CentOS > 5.3 without major splits). I currently have two guests in that VirtualBox setup, a CentOS 5.5 64-bit and a Fedora 13 64-bit. The CentOS 5.5 guest shows less memory available than configured. If, for example, I give the virtual machine 512MB of memory the guest OS only recognizes 380MB. If I give it 768MB it only recognizes 637MB, and so on. I don't have that problem on the Fedora guest - 1024MB configured, 1024MB available.
I'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received: Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server 017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386 066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address> 067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
I own a rather large website/forum devoted to Scuba utilizing vBulletin. The problem is that its become INCREDIBLY slow as of late. I have three Ubuntu web servers under a single Ubuntu load balancer and they draw from a CentOS 5 DB server running MYSQL. Here are my concerns:
-I am thinking that they are all 32 bit rather than 64 bit. -I am thinking that the problem is an IO issue.
OK I've figured out to to set up a VPN, by clicking on the Networking Icon and clicking VPN Connections->Configure VPN and setting up the details... but how to I actually USE the VPN I set up??? I thought it would appear in the VPN Connections but no the only things in there are Configure VPN and Disconnect VPN!
UPDATE: Nevermind.. I rebooted and it appeared in the VPN Connections as expected
