Fault tolerance on a web server

TeachMeIT — Mon, 09 May 2011 19:41:43 +0000

What is the best way to have fault tolerance on our web server? We have a few backup machines all identical that get replicated via scripts every 10 minutes. How cab we automatically fail over to another already configured box if the primary production machine fails? Is this some DNS magic?

Server Timeout on initial web connection to SQLServer

Ajmo — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 03:21:30 +0000

We run a couple of websites (hosted on different webservers) that connect to an SQL Server.

The data was recently moved to another SQL Server (called SQLCLUSTER) and now the first time the site is accessed, it takes over 20 seconds to bring up the page. If I don’t set the Connection Timeout in the connection string to a value higher than that, the server times out. Subsequent pages load fine.

If I connect back to the old server there’s no problem.

The old server runs Express 2008, SQLCLUSTER runs 2008 Enterprise edition.

It happens to both webservers and it only happens with SQLCLUSTER (regardless of which database is being connected to). A similar delay happens in VWD’s Database Explorer when testing a connection to SQLCLUSTER.

Databases hosted on SQLCLUSTER are also the backend for Access applications. There is no delay accessing data through the Access front ends, or through SQL Server Mgmt Studio.

The timeout happens at the Open statement of:

dbConn = New SqlConnection(“Server=SQLCLUSTER;Database=GO_SQL_WEB;UID=WEB_USER;PWD=[xxxx]“) (as stored in web.config)

dbConn.Open()

The servers are all in the same LAN so I don’t think its a firewall issue. The timeout also happens when viewing through localhost on either webserver.

Are there any web-specific settings that need to be addressed in SQL Server Enterprise?

Problem Accessing Web Server via HTTP After Changing Wireless router

Bladerunner83 — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:39:00 +0000

Hi there,

I have query regarding a wireless router. My internet connection setup consists of an ADSL modem (D-link DSL-320T) connected via an Ethernet cable to a wireless router (D-link DIR-615). My network appliances in turn connect to the router wirelessly.

Originally, I had the modem connected to the DIR-615 wireless router (***model = H/W ver: B2; F/W ver: 2.21). However, when the router ceased to function, I replaced it with another DIR-615. Note, that the new model was: H/W ver: D4; F/W ver: 1.00 VG.

After this point, I have had a problem in accessing web pages stored on my web server (which connects to my router via a wireless bridge and also acts as an FTP server). When accessing these pages over the internet on a remote terminal, they are very slow to load – this is the case on all the web sites that I host and not just one.

Note that accessing files works at normal speed over the internet via FTP using an FTP client or simply connecting to the FTP server using a web browser.

Whilst my port forwarding settings on the new router are the same as they were on the old unit, I was wondering what the issue might be that is causing these problems?

Are there any settings on the new router that can be altered to deal with this problem issue?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Kind regards

live & local NIC problem

mitrum — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:15:45 +0000

I have two onboard NIC in windows server 2008 machine one LAN (LOCAL) IP & another has static IP that given by my ISP. I use this server as test web server. So it is connected with both NIC as same time with local & live public IP. This server is on local domain also. Problem is that when both NIC are enable. I take long time to login with domain account & I can’t access shared folder also. But if live (public) IP NIC is disable. Login with domain account is very fast & I can access shared folder easily. I need both NIC enable at same time. Anyone can suggest me where is problem? Thanks in advance… 

apache web server accessing application on virtual machine

Btltm818 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:30:28 +0000

Hello,

I installed sugarcrm onto a vmware server vm running rhel5.4 because our rhel4 server running rhel4.7 doesn’t support the required php that sugarcrm needs (5.1.6-24). The vmware product has crashed twice in the last 5 months and we have moved the company webserver back to the rhel4 server. My question is how can I access the application thru our web server? I know I can move the application files to another directory and put a link in the sugarcrm /var/ww/html directory to point to the new location. I set up the web server on the vm as localhost and I can run the application with no problems using this method. How can I access this application from the production web server on the rhel4 server? Is there a solution besides making the files available thru a samba share? BTW, we cannot upgrade the rhel4 machine at this time.

Apache Web Server Config

brentmossberger — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:04:00 +0000

I’ve been trying to install Apache on my windows XP Home box upstairs in order to create a local webserver in my house for mostly personal use and everything seems fine except that when i try to see the web page from my laptop through an internet connection (my laptop through my cable modem back in through the modem to my webserver) I get nothing from my browser. I can ping my outside interface (on the cable modem) and i can ping the domain name (which is attached to the outside interface using dynamic DNS) but I can’t connect to the server from outside. I have a static ip address on the pc upstairs and I am forwarding traffic to that address on port 80 through the cable modem/router. I also have McAffee installed on my pc but the firewall is disabled as is the windows firewall on the server pc. Any ideas?
I’m thinking I might be pinging the outside interface without actually going out to the internet so I’m off to a coffee shop to try to establish an actual internet connection to my home pc.

Thanks so much!
Brent
