OpenVPN Community Software Auto Installer for CentOS 5 & 6, Debian 6, and Ubuntu 10.10

regolithmedia — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:29:07 +0000

Hi guys,

As the title says, i created OpenVPN Community Software Auto Installer for CentOS 5 & 6, Debian 6, and Ubuntu 10.10.

** Source** http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html Download #wget http://repo.regolithmedia.co.id/ovpn_regolithmedia.zip Install #unzip ovpn_regolithmedia.zip #chmod +x ovpn.sh

After installation process on server is completed, please download and install OpenVPN for Windows http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html or http://repo.regolithmedia.co.id/ovpn/openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe

and then download config.zip inside your server's "/root" directory, extract the files 1194-udp.ovpn dan ca.crt into the OpenVPN config folder Windows, and then run the OpenVPN with username / password you entered in the installation. For Windows 7 don't forget to "Run as Administrator"

Add config / port Copy config / port default 1194 udp at folder "/etc/openvpn" with the new name, for example we want to create new config with port 443 tcp. #cp /etc/openvpn/1194-udp.conf /etc/openvpn/443-tcp.conf Edit the new copied config, you can use nano, pico, vi, or any editor you like. #nano /etc/openvpn/443-tcp.conf Change the following lines port 1194 proto udp

to

port 443 proto tcp and then the following lines server 10.2.3.0 255.255.255.0 status 1194-udp.log

to (for example)

server 10.2.4.0 255.255.255.0 >> you have to differentiate the subnet for local ip assignment in each port and protocol configuration, and so on. status 443-tcp.log after that, run the openvpn with new config #openvpn /etc/openvpn/443-tcp.conf & #bg #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.2.4.0/24 -j SNAT --to Your_Ip_address

OpenVPN success status message with the new config is "Initialization Sequence Completed",other than that means error, check whether your choosen port is already used by another apps.

the last, create configuration for Windows, just like the existing 1194 configuration, just change the port and protocol in the following lines proto udp remote Your_ip_address 1194

to

proto tcp remote Your_ip_address 443

You may already know the difference between tcp and udp port, mainly i use tcp if my internet connection must through proxy / can be used with proxy, for details about tcp / udp you can do Googling. Last words, if there's any error or suggestion, please post here so we can discuss and learn it together, thank you. :D

Prefered OS for lowend server

Wira_Soenaryo — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:12:33 +0000

Hello,

Currently I have tried using Ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6 for my trial VPS server. It's only 128MB Xen based. I plan using virtualmin for the control panel. May I know which OS is more prefered and what are the reason? Thank you...

few questions regarding OS

rajin90 — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:05:17 +0000

most common question centos vs debian || centos 32 vs 64 ||------>which one consume less CPU what recommendation is there for a single core processor when cpu load easily touch 1 and above?

Supersonic RPM

twain — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:09:49 +0000

Can someone try to build the supersonic rpm with maven on a CentOS box? If you do perhaps you could public dropbox the rpm?

I am getting this: https://bin.defuse.ca/NAApJO1E

Does OvZ overwrite /etc/hosts?

raindog308 — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:24:10 +0000

I have an OvZ VPS. There's three IPs (venet0:0 through venet0:2).

I want the VPS's hostname to be the IP associated with venet0:2

So I change /etc/hosts, remove the venet0:0 IP, and put an entry for venet0:2

But when I reboot, I get:

# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.

And the venet0:0 hostname is back.

This is CentOS. There's no dhcp in the the ifcfg-eth* scripts, a grep -R for "Auto-generated" in /etc didn't show anything...

Is this something that OvZ does outside the container?

If so, is the best course of action to have a local init script that replaces /etc/hosts at the end of startup with what I want?

Need Lowend KVM vps provider that accept Payza

Werulz — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:32:45 +0000

Greetings , I am very happy to join this community and looking forward to make some friends here:D . I need a lowend kvm vps that cost less than $4/m .Provider should accept payza as paypal isn't available here. Specs : <5 gb space(excluding space taken by OS) Ram : 512mb Bandwidth : Anything will do {will use around 1 gb bandwidth max} Provider should have a control panel where i can choose os templates and the whole OS install should be automated. I need the following os templates Centos 6.x Minimal Install Centos 5.x Minimal Install Ubuntu

What will i do with the server? I notice that many people have problem with server setup especially when it comes to LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP ).That's why i created a bash script to install LEMP environment + Do server security and optimistaion. I had in mind all the security tweaks offered by most management companies.Hence i won't need much resource as i won't run any production site on it

P.S i intend to release the script for free once it has been properly tested Recommendation and help are always welcome. For now my script optimise only 512 ram server{i am a student so i don't have much cash to afford more powerful servers}

host command not giving MX records

twain — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:35:03 +0000

Strange issue here.. this is on an older CentOS 4.9 box.

Host command is not giving back MX records, even when directly querying 8.8.8.8.

-bash-3.00# host gmail.com gmail.com has address 74.125.139.19 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.83 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.18 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.17

-bash-3.00# host gmail.com 8.8.8.8 Using domain server: Name: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Aliases:

gmail.com has address 74.125.139.19 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.83 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.18 gmail.com has address 74.125.139.17

It should give:

jbrown@jbrown-ubuntu:~$ host gmail.com 8.8.8.8 Using domain server: Name: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Aliases:

gmail.com has address 74.125.229.182 gmail.com has address 74.125.229.181 gmail.com has IPv6 address 2607:f8b0:4008:800::1016 gmail.com mail is handled by 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.

=====================================

Any ideas? I have a /var/log/all.log where I have ALL syslog/logs get written to, and tailing that, nothing comes up when running the host command as to what the issue could be.

Additional repo for centos

kampung — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:08:00 +0000

Hi, I'm debian & ubuntu long time user. In my work, i need to use centos 5.9. Then i installed it, so far so good.

I use EPEL repo as additional repo. It seems that EPEL repo is good repo, come from fedora community.

Then, i need to install openssl 1.0.1, and found axivo repo https://www.axivo.com/community/threads/upgrade-to-openssl-1-0-1-in-centos.180/ Is axivo repo a good repo? (not give backdoor, etc). I can't find much info about this axivo.

Do you have recommendation for good centos repo with updated software?

How about IUS repo? http://iuscommunity.org/

Thanks

Dedicated server - CPU Question

Hello,

I purchased a dedicated server and it said i was getting a Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge Dual Core

but for some reason cpuinfo says:

Is the one they put in my server better than the Intel Celeron G530? or on par? Can someone please clarify this, have i been robbed?

Also, the order page said i was getting DDR3 8GB RAM.. but once i ordered it (and in the server) its DDR. also [root@server ~]# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7772 2725 5046 0 118 1176 -/+ buffers/cache: 1430 6341 Swap: 4191 0 4191

CentOS Public Mirror

shovenose — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:00:45 +0000

I figured it would be interesting to become a CentOS Public Mirror, for some free advertising and to help out the best server OS a little bit :) First I tried it on an OVH KS1 dedicated server. It seemed fine but somehow rsync put the files in the wrong directory thus screwing up the server and I had to reinstall it. Then my friend tried to put one on his cPanel shared server. That turned into a major disaster and basically took down every account on the thing! So, really, what is the best way to do this and on average how much TB/month do you think the mirror would use? I'm tempted just to wait for another $35/month HP blade server to be available at DataShack but it's only 20TB of bandwidth. I could just use my OVH KS1 but it feels like such a waste of an entirely nice server. Oh and: how the heck do I do it so that it actually works? thanks and Happy Holidays!

Fixing XENBUS, Xen 3.1 CentOS 6 DomU errors under PYGRUB

bitronictech — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:53:41 +0000

I had been recieving boot error like this:

XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51713 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vbd/51714 XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/vif/0

This was also causing the VMs to boot and run very slowly as the VM was not finding the blockfront.

The fix was simple, but google provided no answers, thus this post. After trial and error and creating a new VM using a Stacklet Template... I relaized the issue was in /boot/grub/grub.conf

The old grub.conf looked like this:

default=0 timeout=5 title CentOS (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 console=hvc0 xencons=tty0 root=/dev/xvda1 ro initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64.img title vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 console=hvc0 xencons=tty0 root=/dev/xvda1 ro initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img

The new like this:

default=0 timeout=5 title CentOS (2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 console=hvc0 xencons=tty0 root=/dev/xvda1 ro crashkernel=auto LANG=C initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64.img title vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 console=hvc0 xencons=tty0 root=/dev/xvda1 ro initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img

Problem solved. I hope this helps someone out there as the info on google was somewhat spotty and esoteric.

Cheers.

CentOS 6.3 & Subnets

fizzyjoe908 — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:14:29 +0000

I have a group of IPv4 addresses spread among 3 different subnets. How do I add these to a server with CentOS 6.3 installed? I know how to do it when they're all on the same subnet but...that doesn't really apply here.

Any help is appreciated

OMGRUBY!!!!

twain — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:40:36 +0000

Should it really be this much of a pain to install tracks?? Never used it looks cool, and haven't messed w/ruby, gems, rake, bundle, etc too much.. but I mean really...

UnixBench running 4 parallel processes scores lower then one on Xen PV?

bitronictech — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 04:55:08 +0000

I am running a Xen PV on a Quad-Core 3.3GHz E3-1230-V2 Xeon Ivy Bridge, 8GB RAM, 2 X 1TB SAS with 8 threads. One thread is pinned to Dom0. I had setup a VPS with 1024MB RAM and 50GB HD. Capped at 100% of one core but not pinned, with 4vCPUs. DomU is running CentOS 6.3, Dom0 uses virtualizor as the frontend panel. When I ran benchmarks I got some... interesting results:

Can a user without root/su break my server?

littleguy — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 16:51:00 +0000

I am running some web sites off a server (apache/mysql) and thought I'd let a friend host some sites too by creating a vhost to inside his home dir.

My question is - can he break or break into anything if he doesn't have root/su? Stuff like deleting necessary files, reading sensitive data etc.

Running CentOS 6.

LivingSouL — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:35:48 +0000

I've just noticed most of you guys here are using Debian (well at least on OVZ and Xen, I don't know on KVMs). Does that mean Debian is a more preferable choice than CentOS?

CentOS 5, Ping unknown / host unreachable

Jacob — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:16:05 +0000

I am having a few issues, After installing CentOS 5.7 it appears their is a issue.

I can run wget / yum update perfectly fine and it connects with a decent speed but when trying to ping a IP Address or Hostname it says "Host is Unreachable". I have searched on the internet and at the momment putting it down to the dns resolvers but I am not sure what to set these too.

The IPTables is not showing anything that could block ICMP.

Am I right in thinking this is the /etc/resolv.conf file?

Asim — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:24:34 +0000
