I've done everything I could. Reinstall grub and I let it install fine and no errors, but does not booting, among the iso "boot-repair-disk-32bit.iso" and repair, all good, but not booting.
The system has a Raid 5 disks with one volume and two partitions, including a livecd ubuntu, and I see perfectly partitions have no problems, checked. I go with the "Super Grub Disk" (iso) and let me enter the system out there, but they do not enter the iso, not start me. All isos the'm putting on a flash memory to boot.
I've decided to start a new project/second business. Namely, I want to create my own website hosting/design service and I need to know where to start. I've been reading up on some topics related to this, but as far as implementing my idea, I still have some questions. Should note here that previously, my only experience with hosting was putting a page up for a friend via godaddy.com....
I've gotten my hands on a Poweredge 6800, 4 processors 2.8 gHz, (currently) 4 73 gb u320 hard drives. I know that I want to run a RAID setup that allows for redundancy (not sure if I should just set up the 4 drives as 2 disks with mirroring or not). I also for the forseeable future will have to run everything off of one server. With the server came Windows Server 2003 disks and license.
From what I've seen/read, it seems a LAMP server would be the way to go. My main question is this: Since I am running everything off of one server for now, am I right in thinking that Ubuntu Server would be the better way to go for ease of use, and reduced resource usage? Also, is it simpler to use a static IP address from my ISP or the dynamic IP addresses they give you? The final question is this: while I like the idea of H-sphere, are there better all in one hosting apps/control panels that don't have as high a learning curve/hardware requirements?
Is there anyway of hosting a website using ubuntu?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know this is an Ubuntu forum, but I couldn't think of a better place off the top of my head to ask peoples' opinions on web hosting and domain name purchasing. (That's a compliment, and yes, I am a Linux Mint/Ubuntu user).
I'm looking to purchase a .com domain name, and I'm looking for FTP hosting and email. Before giving me any advice, please know that I will not sign up for hosting with a company from which I cannot reclaim the domain name if I should ever choose to switch hosts. In other words, I need the guarantee that I own the domain [name], and not the host. Please let me know if you have an opinion.
Im a nube in networking and servers. I want to make a website for my Dads business but dont want to go to any commercial hosts.

What are the limitations?

2) I'm trying to host a website from an old computer I have. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04; I have installed the LAMP package. I've made it's ip address static on my router (linksys WRT160nv3). I can ssh into it from my desktop on the same home network.
I've been following this guide: URL... I'm trying to make the server public. I've set up DMZ on my router to forward to my server's local ip address.
So now, after going to whatsmyipaddress.com, I can log onto my server from my desktop, which is on my home network, but not anywhere else.I'm fairly sure that my ip address from my ISP is dynamic, but it hasn't changed in the last hour.Let me know if you need anymore details. I'm very new to all of this.
I'm new to this forum and to linux and I love it however I'm having small trouble with setting up my Apache2 web server to host my website. the main problem I'm having right now is that when I browse to my website it keep going to the default Apache page and not my website pages.
here is my virtual host setup: these are two separate file in the sites-available folder
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin email@email.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
[Code]...
I have no understanding on DNS setup and how it works so I'm a complete novice. SECOND question do i have to setup any sort of dns setting from my Linux server or has yahoo covered it for me already?
I have a question about setting up a Modern warfare 2 server. I manage a Ubuntu 9.0.4 web server at home, and a leased cloud server from rack space, and was curious to see if it's possible for me to also setup a CoD Modern warfare 2 server on it as well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI always used to wonder how do web hosting companies host their websites. My problem is I saw some one having their website.I have a degree in Computer Science. I am not clear as how do these web hosting companies give the logins to their users as root. Meaning how can a hosting provider provide root login to say 1000 users and each having a different IP address.

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.

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?
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!
trying to use this program [URL].. to work with my dynamic ip address so i can host a small website on my ubuntu 11.04 machine with [URL].. following is the install instructions and after that is the results of the first two commands: './configure' and then 'make' which results in the error at the bottom. im not sure what this means or how to fix it. any suggestions? the products website has no info.
The simplest way to compile this package is: 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself.

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..
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to set up a hosting control panel solution on my Ubuntu LAMP server to make it easier to administer virtual hosts, users, databases, and so on. I'm completely disgusted with how drastically the installation seems to alter your system (I highly doubt it even works at all with Debian/Ubuntu).
I'd actually prefer something that was more than JUST a web hosting manager, but that gave me options for managing my server in general. What control panel option would you recommend?
Most importantly, I want something that's going to work well with the Apache config standards that are unique to Debian/Ubuntu and won't require a PhD to setup. I really like the default Apache/PHP stack in Ubuntu. Of course I'm particularly interested in Open Source solutions. The new OpenPanel project sounds really exciting, and I've heard lots of people talking about Webmin. Others I've heard good things about include VHCS, ispCP, and ISPConfig.
I have an Ubuntu 10.04 machine, and I would like it to host a folder over the Internet so if I am on another network (with a windows computer) I can log into it's folder and share and edit files among other users.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a small web hosting service, for some of my friends. Where I want my friends to be able to have dedicated virtual servers just for a simple LAMP and ftp-server.
I've got quite limited hardware.
AMD Athlon II (Dual core)
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
100 Mbit Fiber-lan ( Dynamic IP )
What I would want to know is how to create the virtual servers in an truly optimal way. Should I use KVM or VirtualBox? How can I make the request to mydomain.org go to one of the virtual servers and the request to anotherdomain.com go to another virtual server?
If the virtual server is the best solution.
* How much memory should be sufficient for a simple LAMP/FTP-server?

I am trying add three namebased virtual hosts in local apache2 webserver OS ubuntu 10.10. The three sites are :www.site1.eka,www.site2.eka,www.site2.eka
The first I created a file is virtual.conf in conf.d directory its content is :
# we're running multiple virtual hosts.
# NameVirtualHost *:80
Next I created following files in sites-available directory. [URL] is as follows:
#site1.eka (/etc/apache2/sites-available/www.site1.eka)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site1.eka
ServerName www.site1.eka
ServerAlias site1.eka .....
When I visit the [URL] in browser it says server not found.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu Server (32bit) on a machine at home. I've bought a domain name(s) via Heartinternet.co.uk and my ISP is Bethere.co.uk I have installed my LAMP Server on my home based server and it's accessible via my static IP address. HTTP is forwarded on my router to my Ubuntu (web)Server. Now then, in laymen's terms, I want my domain name to resolve to my Ubuntu Server. I have installed and configured Bind9 to this guide found online: http://goo.gl/M3Pk i understand that I need to do this in order to 'host' the domain name. Or alternatively, if my presumptions are correct, I could leave the domain name with the registrar and use their DNS config panel to add an A record to point at my webserver (static IP address)???
If I forward port 53 (default for DNS) to my server (after setting up bind9 correctly) and within my domain name hosting options change the nameserver settings to point at my static ip address then would this be enough to host my domain from my home network?
I feel I nearly have a whole picture but...not quite. There's a multitude of vague guides on the internet (vague or I'm not reading them properly!)
