Re: [CentOS] alternate port vsftpd for ftps
Well I assume it would not work simply because by default, reg ftp comes in on 21, and ftps comes in on 990 - so I suspect there would (or should?) be a separate directive for it On 8/24/07, Steven Vishoot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- dnk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I thought that was just to change the default port > > for FTP, but I am > > looking to change the port fot FTPS (port 990). > > > > Regards, > > > > dnk > > > > On 8/23/07, Lukasz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > User dnk wrote: > > > > Does anyone here by chance know how to change > > the port vsftpd uses for ftps? > > > > > > add line > > > > > > listen_port=1234 > > > > > > in vsftpd.conf file; it can be any port number, > > that is not > > > being used by other applications > > > > > > -- > > > Opole - Miasto Bez Granic. > > > http://www.opole.pl - tu znajdziesz nowe miejsca, > > nowe mo¿liwo¶ci, nowe inspiracje... > > > > > > > > > ___ > > > CentOS mailing list > > > CentOS@centos.org > > > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > > > ___ > > CentOS mailing list > > CentOS@centos.org > > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > I thought if you only had one ftp server then doing > that change should work...but i can be wrong like > always. > > Steven > > > Get your Art Supplies @ www.littleartstore.com > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Brian Mathis wrote: Messing with DNS is really the wrong way to go on this. You'd be forcing all of the DNS servers involved to start messing with their caches, update more frequently, etc.., pushing the problem out onto "everyone else", and you have no control over any of it really. Cache time is only a suggestion, and not all DNS servers follow it. The only moral of this story is that you can't control everything. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can to speed the changeover. Temporarily lowering the DNS cache time for a server during a time of change is well established practice. The only problem is that it'll increase the load on the primary name servers for that domain. That's the best argument for it being temporary. The way to go is to assign that same IP address to another box during maintenance, and have that box show the page. The original poster did not explicitly say so, but the impression I got is that this "data center" is off-site, and possibly managed by a third party. Letting multiple machines handle a single IP only works within a single physical site. When multiple sites are involved, the only way to move an IP is to change global routing rules, which is more fraught with problems than the DNS change-over, which you already don't like. I guess theoretically you can have a single IP at multiple sites, with both routes being advertised as viable, but this will cause chaos as half the packets go one direction and half go the other.

Then when you change DNS for the move this information will be updated quicker for the client and the correct record will get out sooner. Here is another thing you might think about. If the sites content doesn't change often maybe you could leave the site up until the new hosting site is setup and then just change DNS to point to the new site. Make sure you change your DNS TTL's to a low number the day before. Then after the switch is made update DNS to the new IP Addresses and TTL. Then you just have to wait till the short TTL's have expired and then you could turn off the server on your site Since I don't know your setup I cannot tell you what would be best. Of all the choices this I find to be the best. No down time for the client. > Messing with DNS is really the wrong way to go on this.

Cache > time is only a suggestion, and not all DNS servers follow it. DNS is the proper way to go with this. That is the job of DNS. DNS Cache is being updated all the time including your desktop. While TTL's of 120 are short it does nothing more then tell the Cache when to expire the record. This ensure that the most up-to-date record is in it's cache. You would be surprised to know that there are site with TTL's of 0. This just tells the cache to drop the record as soon as it gets it. > The way to go is to assign that same IP address to another box during > maintenance, and have that box show the page.

Please explain how they will lose any control over when the switch happens? They are in control of their DNS. They make the changes.

When you have the new server up and running, change DNS. Alternately you could place this on a server in the new location, but change the routing/NATing to temporarily deliver the addresses to the server hosting this page. If you are using SSL certificates, you will need to have them as well and create different virtualhosts, although they can all have the same DocumentRoot and web page. Hope this helps. Barry My page does not use any graphics. The reason I used PHP and not a static page was that I wanted the user to know that the site and url they had connected to was valid, and that they had not reached the page by mistake, or mis-typed the address. If you are that worried about loading a page faster, and you think lighttpd is the way to go, I am all for it, but I don't think it is necessary. For added performance, you could put the page on a ram disk, but I really think the return will be minimal.

Re: [CentOS] "Site down for maintenance" - How is this accomplished?
Depending on the traffic level and the amount of hardware, I would recommend against what you just said. Especially if your current environment is multiple servers that are load balanced. You don't want to have to replicate the environment just to have a construction page. Instead of setting up Apache with PHP, just setup a really basic server with lighttpd and a single static page with really minimum graphics. It will serve pages and the one or two graphics a lot faster and a single server can usually handle the load. -matt On 8/24/07, Barry Brimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Fri, 24 Aug 2007, Matt Arnilo S.
