@MichaelHampton I guess it depends on how much access they have. Wanting to do it via php makes it fee like web hosting so it's quite hard for us to do anything
You don't measure performance of a shared web host, as a user. You hope you're getting what you paid for most of the time and that they didn't horribly oversubscribe the service.
It doesn't sound like you leased a server at all. It sounds like you have just purchased shared web hosting. Can you clarify the exact nature of the service you purchased? — Michael Hampton27 secs ago
If someone purchases shared web hosting, they're given a set of (limited) tools to manage it. They administer their little world through that crappy control panel.
Do any professional sysadmins really use cPanel, rather than provide cPanel? To me, cPanel is indicative of non-professional (i.e. voluntary, spare time, personal) web hosting use?
Sure, I can see questions from people who run hosting farms and provide cPanel for their users having a place here...
Hi,
Almost every webmaster deals with a server. So if he has a question regarding his server (like the following example), which site should he ask on: webmasters.stackexchange OR ServerFault.
Example question: "Is it better to use lighthttpd+mysqllite instead of apache+mysql on low memory syst...
The FAQ was intentionally vague as "System Administrator" is too narrow. SF also caters to Storage Admins, Network Admins, Help Desk, and various other titles.
The crux of the audience is that they must have:
administrative privileges to "fix" the "problem"
technical knowledge to understand t...
The gist of it is: you aren't an administrator if you don't have administrative access to the server. Being given an interface to manage a certain aspect of a service is not administrative access, even if they label the management interface as "admin".
@JourneymanGeek It's okay for quick dev enviroments - I'd be reluctant to use a pre-built stack in production although I had a stroke of devopsitis and deployed one to production for a month before I remembered about it.
@MDMarra LAMP should probably be excluded from the *AMP list really as lots of sysadmins rum LAMP systems - it gets confusing that there are now LAMP packages that can be installed too
i am using php connection to copy mysql column in andoird sqllite .

I wish to provide a service like how google does ( companyname.blogspot.com becomes blog.companyname.com ) from what I understand a CNAME of google is used to do so.
My question is how do I make a CNAME for my domain that others can use
Sometimes people say LAMP or whatever to mean the actual application stack, but most times it's a pre-built package with wide open security settings meant for dev use only
@SmallClanger Linux Apache MySQL PHP which in general in the Linux world is installed as separate packages. Windows/Mac has various *AMP packages that are one click install for (mainly) developers
It's the same with a lot IIS and Exchange deployments I used to see - when you make something so simple that even an idiot can use it then you shouldn't be surprised when lots of idiots use it and get into trouble.
Oh, I run plenty of LAMP stacks. It's the pre-packaged aspect I wasn't aware of. It doesn't strike me as necessary, but then that's perhaps because I know stuff about the individual bits.
@MDMarra Yeah. Either that or there are two idiots trying to do the same stupid thing with a MySQL database... which I guess is possible... but I it helps my mood to err on the side of underestimating the number of idiots in the world.
@Dan Yeah, exactly. I'm not sure if having a very little bit of knowledge and very basic logic skills is better or worse than being completely clueless.
Interesting spam phone call just now: "Sam at BT" to notify me of some engineering works on my local exchange. She then asked me how many handsets I had on site. When I asked why she needed to know that and what the job number was, she hung up.
@MDMarra Up to 25%... Can probably hit 30% by going through the list of migrations and closing the crap. There's 180 pages of migrated Questions, took me 4 pages to get an additional 1%. =]
@SmallClanger Next time, mess with them a little to find out. "I don't know how many handsets we have... we're a call center, so something like 800..."
We have one domain and two domain controllers (on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise).
For about a week, we have enormous problems: some users can't log in to Windows (domain could not be contacted). Sometimes restart of Windows helps, but mostly it doesn't.
As administrator, I can't log in to DC0...
@HopelessN00b I wish I had, now. A couple more questions I would at least have been able to discern whether it was dodgy telemarketing or some sort of phishing attempt.
@SmallClanger This is why I always converse with telemarketers and interesting spammers. Besides, provides a handy outlet for my malice and sadistic cruelty.
@MDMarra there is an automagic flag for >20 comments in 3 days, it's meant to catch heated debate. On SF more often than not it catches stuff like that where someone with lots more patience than required is attempting to help
@ChrisS Sure, when I'm too busy to vent some of my cruelty to a deserving target, but I find it oddly satisfying to string some PoS spammer along for as long as I can. Closest I come to doing a service for the betterment of my fellow man.
@ChrisS Yeah, I was just going to mention that. Good for a laugh, and a tiny bit of curious jealousy, wondering how I could pull something like that off.
Post an ad on Craig's List for something expensive, like a car... Price it high enough that no reasonable person would ever be interested. Wait for the scammail. =]
This is possible. It's called a UPN and can be whatever you want.
In Active Directory Domains and Trusts you can define a new UPN for your forest. It then becomes select-able on the Account tab of a user account in ADUC. So if your domain is Domain1 and you define domain2.whatever as a UPN suffi...
It would be a bandwidth issue. Not all controllers utilize full bus bandwidth. Pairing controllers by striping between them can increase bandwidth. It depends on the hardware you have when this is or is not a benefit. It tends to be a benefit for lower priced hardware. — Skaperenyesterday
^ As a defense of using software RAID on top of hardware RAID
@MDMarra When you request a status update from a client, or a network sweep or something, you have to wait for the client to check-in and get the task, completes it, then at next check-in will report back.... It takes a lot of time.
@MDMarra Sounds about the same here... I've just used AV packages in the past where the client establishes a long lived connection with the server, so when you request something the client responds almost immediately.
@ewwhite That's what I'm saying. In the edge case that you've got multiple controllers, you've probably got that situation handled 100% in hardware already
@Skaperen I don't really think that would be the case. Consider the following: SAS disks natively support multiple controllers. Most servers are single controller. A box that needs multiple controllers will usually be either a dedicated storage device (NAS) or a SAN node. In these cases, the native support for multiple controllers on SAS disks far outweigh the clusterfuck that can happen by layering software RAID on top of hardware RAID. Using it in the way you describe is a serious edge case that people will design their architecture around avoiding. — MDMarra5 secs ago
