•  Installing the PHP Port

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5make configmake install

When you run make config you will be shown a list of options to choose from. To use PHP with Apache make sure the Apache Module box has a “X”.

•  Adding the PHP 5 module to Apache

Apache needs the following lines in the httpd.conf file for php to work. These lines should already be added by the port but if you have problems you should double check your httpd.conf file.

Apache 1.3.x

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.soAddModule mod_php5.c

Apache 2.x

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so

If you installed using the port and had Apache installed already the LoadModules should have been added during port install.

Next find your DirectoryIndex section in your httpd.conf file. Apache may be setup for PHP 4, but not PHP 5 currently so you will need to change your DirectoryIndex to look like this:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>

<IfModule mod_php3.c>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_php4.c>

DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html

</IfModule>

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_php3.c>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_php4.c>

DirectoryIndex index.html

</IfModule>

</IfModule>

</IfModule>

Setting HTTPD to read index.php first.

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Now apache just needs to know what it should parse the PHP files with. These two lines should be added to the httpd.conf file, and can be put at the bottom if needed.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

If want to use PHP code inside of .htm files you can just add on those extensions.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

The 95th percentile is a widely used mathematical calculation to evaluate the regular and sustained utilization of a network connection. It is commonly used among all major internet transit and peering networks, as well as datacenters and ISPs for both capacity planning and calculating usage. It roughly means ‘for most of the time this was the throughput on the line’.

The 95th percentile is a good number to use for billing as it can allow the customer throughput bursts without additional financial compensation. Basically the 95th percentile says that 95% of the time, the usage is at or below this amount. Conversely, usage could be above that amount up to 5% of the time.

Bandwidth is measured from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the ‘billable utilization’ for the month.

Based on this model, the top 36 hours (top 5% of 720 hours) of peak traffic is not taken into account when billed for an entire month. Bandwidth could be utilized at a higher rate for up to 65 min a day with no financial penalty.

•  Locking Account

1. pw lock <username>

• Unlocking Account

1. pw unlock <username>

• Examples

If a user account on the machine is named “john” then the following would lock and unlock the account

1.   pw lock john
2.   pw unlock john

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’

1.  Your mysql.sock might be located elsewhere use ‘find / -name mysql.sock’
2. If it is located else where then ln -s [target] [nameoflink] this will link the file and allow it to start.

Permissions

1. If you didnt find mysql.sock on your system then do ‘cd /’
2. Then ‘chmod 777 tmp’

Those should fix the issue

•  Editing

1. vi /etc/network/interface  <—edit IP and other Gateway information
2. ifdown eth0
3. ifup eth0
4. cd /dev/
5. ./MAKEDEV generic
6. ls -la | grep urandom <–see if urandom is now available
7. /etc/init.d/ssh start

After these few commands sshd should now be start on the Debian server with working eth0.

HyperVM advanced features allow you to manage your vps hosting from a single console. HyperVm has been optimized for allowing you to have HyperVM clustered servers from anywhere in the world. These are some of HyperVM features:

Quote Taken from http://lxlabs.com/software/hypervm/

• “Full Distribution.”
• “Manage your entire data center.”
• “HyperVM is successfully used by our clients to manage 1000s of vpses on 100s of servers.”
• “Support for Windows Virtualization.”
• “HyperVM allows efficient windows virtualization with advanced features like backup/restore built in.”
• “Support for multiple virtualization technologies.”
• “Live Migrate”

This install of HyperVM is for Fedora Core servers, and this install was done on Fecora Core 6. This will use the XEN  kernel, memory will be set at a dedicated limit. The limit will allow customers programs to run slower when they reach their limit unlike Openvnz their programs will normally crash. HyperVM will also require you to reboot after changes to the vps like memory or hard drive space. Openvnz will do these changes instantly.

• Downloading HyperVM

1. hypervm-install-master.sh
2. hypervm-install-slave.sh

• Getting Ready for Install

1. disable selinux (edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux <– change to [SELINUX=disabled])
2. setenforce 0
3. chkconfig libvirtd off
4. reboot

• Installing HyperVM

1. cd DIROFHyperVM/
2. sh ./hypervm-install-master.sh –virtualization-type=xen

If this errors during install just rerun the command and if HyperVM is already install just type yes

• Once server is booted

1. ssh into the server
2. ssh back into server cd /usr/local/lxlabs/hypervm/httpdocs/
3. Type in command prompt: lphp.exe ../bin/common/setdriver.php –server=localhost –class=vps –driver=xen
4. This can take a few minute’s to become enabled sometimes we have had issues and use service xend restart
5. In web browser to http://IP:8887 or http://IP:8888 of the host computers IPLogin is admin password is also admin change once inside
6. Once you have logged in as admin add the extra IP address on the servers to HyperVM IP POOL list
7. Go the VM tab
8. Click ADD XEN
9. Set the name vm name
10. Password
11. Number of IPs allowed to use
12. Hostname of the server
13. Gateway IP of the HOST network
14. IF you have multiple VMServers you can now select from which gateway the IP class is on
15. If you only have one leave localhost
16. Select OS
17. Click ADD
18. Select Disk quota
19. Number of backups allowed of the vps
20. Skip the next 3 they are for Openvz
21. Set VPS real memory allowed from Hosting server example: 128 256 512 all are in mb
22. CPU usage allowed from host computer in percent example of on core host: 10 20 25
23. With Single Core host you are allowed 100% if you have Dual or Quad core you are allowed 200%-400%
24. Traffic monthly in mb <— TRAFFICinGB x 1024
25. Number of IP address allowed to use
26. Check or uncheck if you allow backup schedule or backups allowed
27. Click add
28. Hypervm VPS will be installed
