I'm afraid that I already know the answer to my question, but I'll ask it anyway: When there are two MySQL DB servers, can I access data that is stored on the other server? In other words: Can I somehow do this: INSERT INTO table (x, y, z) SELECT x, y, x+y FROM [otherserver].[database].[table] Is the answer really as short...
I'm not certain that this is the right venue for this question, but a programmer friend of mine said I should try this here. My company's main application is hosted on a terminal server running Windows Server 2008. Since last Thursday we have seen this server crash and reboot 3 times, and we just went live with this server on the previ...

If a web server is going to serve out say 100GB per day would it be better for it to do so in 10,000 10MB sessions or 200,000 500kB sessions. The reason for this question is I'm wondering if there would be any advantage, disadvantage or neither to sites that mirror content to allow clients to exploit HTTP's start-in-the-middle feature t...
Hi, I am based in the UK and have two webservers, one German based (1&1) and the other is UK based (Easyspace). I recently signed up to the UK easyspace server because it was about the same price I paid for my 1&1 server but also I wanted to see if my sites hosted on a UK server gave better results in terms of UK based traffic. Its se...
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and I've installed the necessary packages as fast as I can tell. Under System > Administration > Services I see "Webserver (Apache2)" on the list. Googling around suggested that there might be a problem with the /etc/hosts file not having a line reading "127.0.0.1 localhost", but I checked the file and it's ther...
I am about to implement a server application that can answer queries fast. The server is implemented in java. I don't want to waste a lot of time on a complicated communication protocol so I search for a good best-practice way of 1) performing a query to my server 2) letting the server answer that query Both the queries and answers w...

I need to configure a SMTP server for testing my website which sends emails (for registration confirmation etc). I dont actually want the email to be sent, I just want to make sure that my code is correct. So I want to be able to check that the email is placed in a queue folder for example. Can anybody recommend a SMTP server which is...
As the title said, how to create multiple game servers? I am about to develop an online game, and this is my first time. Game play in flash and database things are handled by php and mysql. I have questions about server. After user logged in, they should select a server. How do I create multiple servers for users to select? Is it better...
We have a string processing service (c++, uses stdin/out for in/output) that has different layouts, each layout runs separately (eventually will run on separate machines), each layout takes time to load, thats why it must keep running after first run. I must implement a system with client that will ask the master server to connect it ...
I'm running a cronjob which needs to write data to a cache. I wanted to put this cronjob in my private folder, however, even after CHMODding the cache folder in the private folder, it's not getting writing rights. This seems to be somekind of plesk feature. So, now I've placed the cronjob in the public folder. However, I need to make su...
I am working on some ASP.NET Server Control, and I have an issue. Maybe I oversee something, I don't know. Anyway: public string Name { get { String s = (String)ViewState["name"]; return ((s == null) ? String.Empty : s); } set { ViewState["name"] = value; } } protected override void R...
I'm making a game and I am using Python for the server side. It would be fairly trivial to implement chat myself using Python - that's not my question. I was just wondering if there were any premade chat servers or some kind of service that I would be able to implement inside of my game instead of rolling my own? Maybe like a different p...
I'd like to set up a staging server for a Rails app. I use git & github, Cap, and have a VPS with Apache/Passenger. I'm curious as to the best practices for a staging setup, as far as both the configuration of the staging server as well as the processes for interacting with it. I do know it should be as identical to the production server...
Now, I could go ahead and write this using FileSystemWatcher etc, but before I start coding - I wonder if there is a better option that I can re-use (rather than re-invent). From my web-server, I want to drop files (to be printed) into a network share as a queue (ordering not hugely critical). Ideally, a windows service (or other client...
For making a scalable multiuser server in C#, which of these two types of servers are more efficient? You can see an example of the async server using the begin* methods (like beginaccept, beginsend) here, and the threadpool implementation here. I know what a threadpool is and how it works so I pretty much understand how that implement...
My company is hosting a few separate, but related, moderately hit, web sites. Accordingly, a production database server, staging database server, production web server, staging web server, etc are needed. My question is, should we invest in physically separate servers for each of our needs, or should we put that money together and inve...
