How do i connect to redhat linux server by using vncviewer even user is logged out?

Q. I successfully connect to the redhat linux server by using 3rd parties vncviewer. But when the user (root) user is logged out, i am unable to establish the connection again! Why, can anyone helps on this? Because i've tried to search on the web, cant find the solution... thanks a lot....
But when the user is logged out, it cant be connected, how?

A. To start the server on the linux box, as the user type:
$ vncserver
It will come back with something like "started server on localhost:1" (I can't remember the exact syntax - the bit you are interested in is the :1)
To connect to this from another computer (running windoze, linux or any other client) you must use the :1 bit too, ie connect to:
machinename:1
Because linux is a true multiuser environment you are able to launch multiple desktops, :1, :2, :3 etc. These go over ports 5901, 5902, 5903 etc. Windoze (not being multiuser) does not allow you to start a new desktop for a VNC session and only allows you the one which goes over port 5900 and is machinename:0

How do I set up a Call of Duty 4 Cracked linux server?
Q. I have searched everywhere and I can't find a tutorial to create a cracked cod4 linux server. Is there anyone who knows where to find one?

A. That's because a tutorial won't help you. You need experience to figure it out.

I'm looking for software to run on a linux server that can be used to validate user access to my VB software?
Q. I've developed a program in Visual Basic and would like to distribute it be able to have the software check a linux server to see if the userid that is used to login to the software is both valid AND unique (to prevent duplicate logins).

Any suggestion on what I can use?
my VB application is a desktop application.

The verification software would be on the server on the internet.

The users could create their own password... I'd assign userids.

I know that something custom could be written, but I'd like to avoid that if there's an off-the-shelf solution.

What are my options to send data securely from a vb.net application to a Linux server?

Q. It's an Ubuntu Linux server with Apache 2.2. What are my choices for sending secure SQL queries AND secure information (separate from the queries) to the server? (The server is also running MySQL and PHP, and I am very comfortable programming in both). Thanks!

A. HTTP over SSL with authentication, I presume - either using a client certificate, or a password scheme like authentication/basic . You can wrap most tcp/ip applications in SSL, so you could make direct SQL connections in principle, if MySQL is listening on the network and is suitably secured with passwords. I know that's possible in Linux, but I'm not sure what one can do in vb.net.

How to install a proxy server on a Linux server and use it from my Windows computer?
Q. My Linux server is in the USA. I'm in Canada. I want to use my Linux server as a proxy to be "detected" as coming from the USA when I surf the web. Thank you for your help!
It would be nice to have a step-by-step how-to.

A. A very easy and non-permanent way to do this can be done using ssh. You could use cron to automate this so that it is always on, or on at certain times.

Check out this website for a very clear tutorial on how to do this.

How do I remotely execute Command Line commands from my laptop to a Linux Server?
Q. I am trying to download and install Icast 2 on a remote Linux server. I have rights to the server and can also FTP or access CPanel remotely, but want to remotely execute commands on the Linux Server to install and configure the Icecast and other software. THANKS!!!

A. I assume you are coming from a Windows Machine ? This Linux server most likely has SSH running opposed to Telnet so you need to setup a session using putty. You can also send files over ssh using a free app such as winSCP. Another option is to setup a vncsession on the server , and connect with a remote desktop session.

Download putty

Download winSCP
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php

realvnc for Windows
http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html
first you ssh into the linux box, and type vncserver then from windows machine, connect to the display's ip and port num 1,2,3,etc.

How do you Reboot a Macbook to use a linux server?

Q. I need to install a linux server on my macbook, but I am having trouble rebooting it and for it to recognize the server. Can someone please help me out?

A. The EFI on mac's is a little tricky to work with. A lot of good info availible on the reEFIt site. A protective MBR is probably the easiest setup to work with.

What is the best online place to buy Linux server, and what the best server brand?

Q. I am Looking to buy Linux server online to be shipped to colocation in Atlanta, I need recommendation for the best company to by online.

A. a "linux server" is nothing more than an IBM compatible PC with Linux running as it's operating system.
Linux nowadays has drivers for most common hardware on the market, so as long as you stick with industry standard components (ASUS or INTEL motherboards, 3-com or d-link Ethernet, ATI or Matrox video, Creative labs sound card....you get the idea) You'll be fine. I just suggest you purchase the systems from a store that will pre-load the linux onto the units to your specifications so that if there are any issues, they can be solved before the unit is shipped.

How to Add linux client machine to linux server environment?
Q. In windows plateform, we add the windows client machine to windows domain, likewise how to add linux client machine to the linux server environment.

A. LDAP. You could also use samba to authenticate through Active Directory on the windows server.

How do i connect to redhat linux server by using vncviewer even user is logged out?
Q. I successfully connect to the redhat linux server by using 3rd parties vncviewer. But when the user (root) user is logged out, i am unable to establish the connection again! Why, can anyone helps on this? Because i've tried to search on the web, cant find the solution... thanks a lot....
But when the user is logged out, it cant be connected, how?

A. To start the server on the linux box, as the user type:
$ vncserver
It will come back with something like "started server on localhost:1" (I can't remember the exact syntax - the bit you are interested in is the :1)
To connect to this from another computer (running windoze, linux or any other client) you must use the :1 bit too, ie connect to:
machinename:1
Because linux is a true multiuser environment you are able to launch multiple desktops, :1, :2, :3 etc. These go over ports 5901, 5902, 5903 etc. Windoze (not being multiuser) does not allow you to start a new desktop for a VNC session and only allows you the one which goes over port 5900 and is machinename:0

How can I recover the password to my linux server I know my username I just need password?

Q. How can I recover the password to my linux server I know my username I just need password? I have a Linux server and i dont know how to accsess it any help would be appreciated.

A. Passwords are hashed in a one-way direction; you can't retrieve the old password. Most Linux distros will allow you to boot in a single-user mode, meaning you are given a root shell. From here, you can change the password with this command:

passwd username

substituting in the correct user name. You will be prompted to enter a new password twice. After that, just reboot.

What is the best documentation for Linux servers?
Q. Linux server with better documentation to enter the world of Linux servers.

A. Linux server? What server? Every Linux application, server or not, includes the author's documentation. There is a Linux command that specifically opens those files. It's called "man" (short for manual) like "man apache" (Apache is the worldwide leading web server to date). If you search the internet for more documentation, chances are you will be brought to a page that more or less replicates the 'man' page. There are other sites that document personal notes about installation which may or may not be useful to you and there are books that cater to specific and broad server installation procedures which more or less go back to the man page.

A. That's because a tutorial won't help you. You need experience to figure it out.

I'm looking for software to run on a linux server that can be used to validate user access to my VB software?
Q. I've developed a program in Visual Basic and would like to distribute it be able to have the software check a linux server to see if the userid that is used to login to the software is both valid AND unique (to prevent duplicate logins).

Any suggestion on what I can use?
my VB application is a desktop application.

The verification software would be on the server on the internet.

The users could create their own password... I'd assign userids.

I know that something custom could be written, but I'd like to avoid that if there's an off-the-shelf solution.

A. take a look at using openldap

How do I add an IP address to a linux server?
Q. Its for a website in the server, just need to add an IP and its been awhile since I touched a linux server. Do I need to map it to one of the NICs?

A. This is a quick guide on adding IPs to a system manually. I would only suggest it if you are not using a control panel, such as cpanel, that has a feature to adds ips. If your main ethernet device is eth1 instead of eth0 simply substitute eth1 for eth0. Other then that should be pretty simple to follow, this should work on any standard redhat/centos based system.




Login as root then do the following to add a new ip address to any linux redhat based system. If you have cpanel there is a nice little ip management script that just lets you do it via WHM. For those without cpanel do the following:

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Then as a usual precaution I would make a backup of the file
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0.bak
(you wont need to do anything with the backup)

Then copy the config for your new IP
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1

Then we need to edit the new config
pico -w ifcfg-eth0:1

The lines you need to change:

DEVICE="eth0"
to
DEVICE="eth0:1"

Then change the
IPADDR="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
to be your NEW ip address (it will have your primary ip listed)

Once this is done, press CTRL + X
then press Y and <enter>

This will have saved the config for you and the interface is ready to be brought up. This is done with
/sbin/ifup eth0:1

Having done this if you type
/sbin/ifconfig

You should see something like
------code------
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

If you then try to ping your new ip it should all work fine
This should also restart eth0:1 on a reboot as its a direct copy of the eth0 config. So checking for the ONBOOT="yes" in ifcfg-eth0:1 will ensure it DOES come back up on a reboot

How to install a proxy server on a Linux server and use it from my Windows computer?

Q. My Linux server is in the USA. I'm in Canada. I want to use my Linux server as a proxy to be "detected" as coming from the USA when I surf the web. Thank you for your help!
It would be nice to have a step-by-step how-to.

A. A very easy and non-permanent way to do this can be done using ssh. You could use cron to automate this so that it is always on, or on at certain times.

Check out this website for a very clear tutorial on how to do this.

How do I remotely execute Command Line commands from my laptop to a Linux Server?
Q. I am trying to download and install Icast 2 on a remote Linux server. I have rights to the server and can also FTP or access CPanel remotely, but want to remotely execute commands on the Linux Server to install and configure the Icecast and other software. THANKS!!!

A. I assume you are coming from a Windows Machine ? This Linux server most likely has SSH running opposed to Telnet so you need to setup a session using putty. You can also send files over ssh using a free app such as winSCP. Another option is to setup a vncsession on the server , and connect with a remote desktop session.

Download putty

Download winSCP

realvnc for Windows
http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html
first you ssh into the linux box, and type vncserver then from windows machine, connect to the display's ip and port num 1,2,3,etc.

What is the best online place to buy Linux server, and what the best server brand?
Q. I am Looking to buy Linux server online to be shipped to colocation in Atlanta, I need recommendation for the best company to by online.

A. a "linux server" is nothing more than an IBM compatible PC with Linux running as it's operating system.
Linux nowadays has drivers for most common hardware on the market, so as long as you stick with industry standard components (ASUS or INTEL motherboards, 3-com or d-link Ethernet, ATI or Matrox video, Creative labs sound card....you get the idea) You'll be fine. I just suggest you purchase the systems from a store that will pre-load the linux onto the units to your specifications so that if there are any issues, they can be solved before the unit is shipped.

How can I recover the password to my linux server I know my username I just need password?

Q. How can I recover the password to my linux server I know my username I just need password? I have a Linux server and i dont know how to accsess it any help would be appreciated.

A. Passwords are hashed in a one-way direction; you can't retrieve the old password. Most Linux distros will allow you to boot in a single-user mode, meaning you are given a root shell. From here, you can change the password with this command:

passwd username

substituting in the correct user name. You will be prompted to enter a new password twice. After that, just reboot.

http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub

What is the best documentation for Linux servers?
Q. Linux server with better documentation to enter the world of Linux servers.

A. Linux server? What server? Every Linux application, server or not, includes the author's documentation. There is a Linux command that specifically opens those files. It's called "man" (short for manual) like "man apache" (Apache is the worldwide leading web server to date). If you search the internet for more documentation, chances are you will be brought to a page that more or less replicates the 'man' page. There are other sites that document personal notes about installation which may or may not be useful to you and there are books that cater to specific and broad server installation procedures which more or less go back to the man page.

How do you Reboot a Macbook to use a linux server?
Q. I need to install a linux server on my macbook, but I am having trouble rebooting it and for it to recognize the server. Can someone please help me out?

A. The EFI on mac's is a little tricky to work with. A lot of good info availible on the reEFIt site. A protective MBR is probably the easiest setup to work with.

How do i connect to redhat linux server by using vncviewer even user is logged out?

Q. I successfully connect to the redhat linux server by using 3rd parties vncviewer. But when the user (root) user is logged out, i am unable to establish the connection again! Why, can anyone helps on this? Because i've tried to search on the web, cant find the solution... thanks a lot....
But when the user is logged out, it cant be connected, how?

A. To start the server on the linux box, as the user type:
$ vncserver
It will come back with something like "started server on localhost:1" (I can't remember the exact syntax - the bit you are interested in is the :1)
To connect to this from another computer (running windoze, linux or any other client) you must use the :1 bit too, ie connect to:
machinename:1
Because linux is a true multiuser environment you are able to launch multiple desktops, :1, :2, :3 etc. These go over ports 5901, 5902, 5903 etc. Windoze (not being multiuser) does not allow you to start a new desktop for a VNC session and only allows you the one which goes over port 5900 and is machinename:0

How do I set up a Call of Duty 4 Cracked linux server?
Q. I have searched everywhere and I can't find a tutorial to create a cracked cod4 linux server. Is there anyone who knows where to find one?

A. That's because a tutorial won't help you. You need experience to figure it out.

I'm looking for software to run on a linux server that can be used to validate user access to my VB software?
Q. I've developed a program in Visual Basic and would like to distribute it be able to have the software check a linux server to see if the userid that is used to login to the software is both valid AND unique (to prevent duplicate logins).

Any suggestion on what I can use?
my VB application is a desktop application.

The verification software would be on the server on the internet.

The users could create their own password... I'd assign userids.

I know that something custom could be written, but I'd like to avoid that if there's an off-the-shelf solution.

A. take a look at using openldap

How do I add an IP address to a linux server?
Q. Its for a website in the server, just need to add an IP and its been awhile since I touched a linux server. Do I need to map it to one of the NICs?

A. This is a quick guide on adding IPs to a system manually. I would only suggest it if you are not using a control panel, such as cpanel, that has a feature to adds ips. If your main ethernet device is eth1 instead of eth0 simply substitute eth1 for eth0. Other then that should be pretty simple to follow, this should work on any standard redhat/centos based system.




Login as root then do the following to add a new ip address to any linux redhat based system. If you have cpanel there is a nice little ip management script that just lets you do it via WHM. For those without cpanel do the following:

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Then as a usual precaution I would make a backup of the file
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0.bak
(you wont need to do anything with the backup)

Then copy the config for your new IP
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1

Then we need to edit the new config
pico -w ifcfg-eth0:1

The lines you need to change:

DEVICE="eth0"
to
DEVICE="eth0:1"

Then change the
IPADDR="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
to be your NEW ip address (it will have your primary ip listed)

Once this is done, press CTRL + X
then press Y and <enter>

This will have saved the config for you and the interface is ready to be brought up. This is done with
/sbin/ifup eth0:1

Having done this if you type
/sbin/ifconfig

You should see something like
------code------
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Mask:255.255.254.0
