Back to the old 'server'... ran for about 36 hours and then started having power issues again. Switched back to the old server... should have the new PSU in today or tomorrow...
-= 8/04 =-
**UPDATE** The :6969 redirect is now pointing to the new server! Woohoo!!! I think you'll find the response somewhat snappier!
I expect to put the new server in the rack on Monday and it will be on the new IP at that time.
Well... I put the old PSU back in and didn't connect up the CDRW and the floppy drive. Upped the ram to 3x256Mb ECC Crucial. It's been humming along for 19 hours now :thumbsup: I'm currently hitting it by VNCing into my work machine and hitting pages from there. Seems pretty snappy! I've got an Antec 500w PSU on the way.. should be here by the Friday.
The only concern I really have when I put this on the new IP is that it's not behind a firewall at all. I was thinking of using a LinkSys broadband router (BEFSR41 v3) as the firewall... seems to work well at home... anyone think that is a bad idea or not enough security? I'd hate to get hacked the first day it's up! :roll:
-= 8/02 =-
The new PSU is here. I'm going to install that and the 3x 256mb ECC sticks of ram that came today also, and see what happens! Hopefully this will be it and that box will be up and running!
Later...
*SIGH* The PSU doesn't fit....

Been running two days straight without any hiccups! Temperatures on the CPUs are running around 47C in a less than optimal environment (my kitchen table... good thing the wife is away this week!). I'm looking into some ECC ram for this machine... dunno anything about this registered ram stuff, so some advice would be nice! :roll:
I had one strange entry in the access log... A single access as follows:
68.74.116.106 - - [23/Jul/2004:09:35:19 -0400] "GET http://www.helllabs.com.ua/cgi-bin/textenv.pl?8080 HTTP/1.0" 404 291
Why would a GET to helllabs.com.ua come to this server? If I type in that url, I get some company that seems to facilitate spammers... should I be concerned?
Please keep hitting this server and letting me know if you see anything funky!
Here is the schedule for stats updates:

IT LIVES! Running in parallel to the real 'server', try out the following links (note that there is still a port forward because Adelphia prevents traffic on port 80 :|)

Naturally, if I have a power failure here at home and lose that IP, I'll be reposting. LMK what the response time is like! I've changed the stats schedules a bit and will post the later... basically, alot of processing will mostly occur in the 1st 30 minutes of any hour, and nothing in the 2nd 30 minutes.
I'm on vacation this week (can't you tell?) and will probably roll the new server in on Tuesday 7/27, along with the new IP (12.3.177.164 I think, and no port forward)
-= 7/16 =-
Copied the database and php files over... small hitch thanks to files being saved as read-only when you burn them to CD :roll:
After that, none of the batch files ran anymore because the php.ini file that used to live in the php directory but now lives in the apache bin directory couldn't be found, but that's fixed
I don't think the RAID5 is helping the performance... scripts seem to take longer on this machine... I know I have to get more memory for it though, so maybe that will make a difference!
After that, I'll need a bit of Apache help on how to set up subdomains and stuff... this is my first Apache installation so... :roll:
I expect that I'll run this server from home next week and aim for the week of July 26 for go-live on ip 12.3.177.166 (NO PORT DIRECTIVE!) I will provide the home IP address for those of you that want to poke around and see if I've configured anything in a glaringly idiotic manner!

Yes.. I this update is overdue... I apologize for that...
Anyhoooo....
Dual XP1800+ server/256Mb ram.... Check!
RAID 5 array (4x 9.1g 10k rpm U160 drives)... Check!
Win2K Pro installed.... Check!
Apache 1.3 installed & operational... Check!
PHP 5.0 installed & operational... Check!
mySQL 4.0 installed & operational... Check!
jpGraph installed and operational... Check!
Woohooo! Next up, maybe tonight, but more likely tomorrow night, migrate the code over from the current server and start testing!
Pics will come shortly
Oh yeah... forgot to mention... I'm posting this from the new server!
