@ewwhite SE's alright, but I don't know if I'd like to work for them. I hear they employ... developers. Sounds painful and hazardous to the grey matter.
@ewwhite wow. I would take you for a person who doesn't look at a feature comparison chart made by the vendor who can say "yes" to all the features that they have.
@pauska Oh? That would seem to the the better approach to take, but, honestly, if you want to kill off the old domain, that's generally don't by letting it die, not by moving it to a VM. :)
I have found tutorials online of how to go about setting up a basic LAMP stack in the cloud and will be installing CentOS 6.3 to an Amazon EC2 Micro instance.
Various tutorials have suggested handfuls of packages which I should install as well as what services to configure to run and not run. I ...
@Adrian Right, if I wasn't so sure it would get flagged, I'd point out that "do this job for me" usually precedes "for the following compensation package."
@Adrian Except that saying almost verbatim as I posted here is about all the effort I'm willing to expend in that guy's general direction. Making it not sound like an asshole said it is just too much effort for me today.
@Zypher Honestly, I think that's ridiculous for questions that have an accepted answer. If we think an answer is particularly awesome, we should be able to award it immediately.
Especially from the occasional visitors with low rep but pop in and post truly awesome and well-informed answers about the product that is their day job.

I have a compaq CQ61-112SL from about 5 years now... the main battery is almost dead, doesn't keep more then 10 minutes. anyway my problem is that my motherboard battery didn't have any more energy left a few days ago and since then I can't access internet through lan cable but only via wifi. I n...
Its taking me 2 hours to download Ubuntu server (still at 60%)... now I can't see chat room user icons, anybody noticing weirdness? Maybe its just me :\
@MichaelHampton We need an option at the bottom of the Ask Question form: "Is this problem related to your home computer?". If checked, it gets asked on SU rather than SF.
@l0c0b0x yes. We are still using Nagios. I have decided that I really like it over anything else I have seen so far, now that I good understanding of how it works.
@Adrian I tend to always upgrade my Debian/Ubuntu systems, but I also have the setup/upgrade procedures very well documented. Now that I have started doing puppet, the puppet server handles 99% of all the bits that get a bit confused during the upgrade.
@ewwhite are there different SAS connectors on SAS HBA's? The connector on the card I have does not look anything like the connectors on my old SAN.. plus that the adapter cable I have doesn't fit (it's marked with X1, which I guess is 1 lane)?
@MichaelHampton coop, in this case is basically a contract for network consulting. @l0c0b0x is a former co-worker of mine that got hired off to a school district in my support region.

@Ladadadada easy we delete it because merging it serves no purpose (no migrated in answers) and they get it back OT and another failed migration gets chalked up to them :)
Contrary to previous ideas that Amazon's Glacier cloud archival storage uses disk-based object storage, the latest word is that it is based on LTO6 tape. This comes from a nameless but senior person in the IT industry who "cannot talk about it". El Reg has also heard the same from another source in the general IT industry.
This has come up a few times now: migrating old questions causes problems.
The most popular solution to this to date has been to reset votes on migrated posts. This is do-able, but frankly it feels like treating a symptom, and doing so in a way that penalizes folks who answer what are by all ap...
@ewwhite I don't know why the underlying tech should matter to people. If they can put their data in and get their data out without corruption and in a reasonable time frame that matches what Amazon advertise in the docs...
@ewwhite It was totally and fully obvious to me that it was tape storage at that price point. Are that few people using tapes these days that they always assume backups are disk?
Honestly. I don't care if Amazon Glacier stores data on disk, tape, or in an actual glacier at the North Pole, as long as they can deliver the service they promised.
@ewwhite If one is not in a business that considers tapes a viable technology, I could see why. I'm kind of curious if you have any links to articles filled with outrage though. Would be interesting reading.
6 months ago: "Hey cleaner...PC Tech here at branch office zulu. They need a new server, mind if I build one up for them?" ME: "Um...no thanks." BOSS: "Let him, he needs to learn. And let him monitor and support it"
Fast forward to today: ME: <checks server just for fun, finds out production critical server at branch office was setup as RAID 0"
@ewwhite Ah. That's the only thing that worries me about working at a hosting provider. Seems a bit insular and without a whole lot of external exposure to different things and varied needs.
@MichaelHampton We have hundreds of cards based on that ship and the 6Gbps version (does R0,R1,R10, no cache). Nice cards for turning into IT-firmware models (i.e. no RAID, just HBA) for ZFS or Hadoop boxes.
Ok, so one of my websites ( on joomla) is being hacked like, 6th time...
Honestly, i can't take it anymore...

@MikeyB That's what I figured. That's also what I don't know how to do yet. We're currently using CNAMEs for the various hostname.domain.tld that we need to reach that point to the A record for the zone that points to the outside via manually specified IP
@Adrian What I believe @MikeyB to be saying is instead of CNAME you only have NS records. Those NS records point to the outside servers, which should have the correct information.
Amelia: "Daddy, are you mad at me for dipping my finger in ketchup? I did it three times." Me: "No, you're behaving. If you were fooling around, that'd be one more thing you'd get in trouble for." Amelia: *dips her finger again* "Are you mad at me now?" Me: "No." Amelia: *dips her finger again* "Are you mad at me now?" Me: "Don't push it."
@Adrian Right, so you want them to point to the outside world's view of things? www.mydomain.com. IN NS ns1.outsidedomain.org. (add as many records as they have public nameservers)
So instead of "www CNAME example.org." pointing to the IN SOA record for my internal base zone, I need to set up a specific record of "www.example.org IN SOA ns.webhostingcompany.com
Make sure you have the final dot! Otherwise it'll ALWAYS get treated as a relative name so the record will look like: www IN NS ns.webhostingcompany.com.example.org.
and then gives you this after filling out all the contact info:" Sorry, we are unable to process your request. Our system is experiencing some difficulties. Please try again later."
@MikeyB VCS is for the Devs. And while we do use Dynamic DNS heavily, he likes to be able to fiddle with the servers. I see a big fight coming up the first time he fiddles with something and Puppet overwrites his change.
@MikeyB I might not be understanding this. Those 'IN SOA' record go into the zone as seperate records or do the go inside the existing SOA record somehow?
I also need to set up a damn DNS slave server for the users to point instead of having them all point to the master.
That way my phone doesn't light up everytime I stop DNS.
