New Plesk Server - Require host file entries

New plesk server being set up and I was told that it "requires host file entries" and to go ahead and set that up. I am at a loss... never been asked to do this before when moving websites to new server. Any help is more than appreciated!!

I agree with you, but apparently that is not the case. Something to do with:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts You can open, edit and save this file with notepad. Create a shortcut on your desktop for easy editing. Don't forget to either comment out the entry or remove it when you want to go to the real site. You should also clear your browser cache each time. You comment out the line by using the "#" sign in front.
This is what the web server administrator sent to me. I was so confused by this, and did not want to seem stupid going back to this person. But I think that is what I will have to do. I will just have to be human and plead my ignorance.
Thanks for your thoughts... they are exactly what I thought they should do.

Re-use Hyper V VM built in Windows Server 2008 R2 host in a new Windows Server 2012 host

Hi Forum members,
I was assigned a Windows Server 2008 R2 host machine with Hyper-V which I used to build many VM's for testing. This host machine now is going to be replaced with a new Windows Server 2012 host machine. Is it possible for me to continue
to use those VM's without any migration (e.g. is it possible to import or simply move the *.vhd + *.avhd files from the 2008 Server to 2012 Server and use them)?
Thanks and Regards,
Hien

That is the official statement of 'support'
They will run, and you may need to do some custom configuration (such as using a legacy nic) but you can't call MSFT support and say your Server 2003 VM is broken on Hyper-V 2012 R2
The act of importing the configuration and linking to the VHD and snapshots will work.
The act of booting the VM and having the OS in the VM 100% happy is not automatic, but should work.
It becomes a question of where do you place the risk.

Client machine requires "hosts file" include IP-address of server machine??

Hi. all.
I am using real IP address in tnsnames.ora at client machines.
The client machine(windows)'s hosts file should have ip-address of server machine?
Without hosts file(ip-address of server), tnsping is always OK, but
sqlplus returns error from time to time.
With hosts file(ip-address of server), sqlplus returns no error.
The database is 2-node RAC database on windows2003.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

If you've got server side load balancing then the clients can get a redirect to one of your RAC nodes when it tries to connect. This redirect will be to a host name (at least thats what I get with our RAC nodes) - so you will definitely need the to be able to resolve the RAC node names. Resolution through the local hosts file or DNS doesn't really matter.

CF9 CPU at 100%. Moved to new CF11 server and copied files over and it's still at 100% CPU almost immediately on new server

Our web server is stuck at 100% CPU. Three days ago we were on CF9 and started running into this problem until the server crashed and wasn't salvageable. Luckily we had a fresh Windows 2008 Server R2 ready to go with a fresh copy of CF11 on it. I copied all the website files over and we were back up and running. A day later the CPU is back to 100% on the new CF11 Windows 2008R2 server. I also updated CF11 to the latest update 3 that was just released.
If I turn off the CF service the CPU usage goes back to normal. If I turn CF back on, the CPU goes back to 100% within like 5 seconds. So it doesn't seem like some slow running page or anything that eventually eats up all the memory or whatever. I'm not an expert at looking at the logs, but I don't see anything too out of the ordinary. The one thing that looks strange to me is I see this line over and over.
Dec 12, 2014 11:28:41 AM Information [ajp-bio-8014-exec-59] - Starting HTTP request {URL='http://zzen1wbudopwg.nchyt.com/encfm/en0024-ssj5iway6wvg/cbeim94a1s2kebu.php?do=194', method='get'}
That line makes me think we got hacked somehow, but it's hard to know.
I did up my JVM heap size and max size to 1024MB. We have 4GB of memory. And i changed teh JVM arguments to what's below based on a forum post. Nothing seems to help.

Any additional ideas on how to debug this or what to look at? Thanks!

Thanks Charlie for your insight. I searched everywhere to find a cfhttp request that was causing the issue, but couldn't find it. I did find some unusual files that were loaded though that I know we didn't put there. I did a search and found this link that shows the code. Coldfusion CFIDE bitcoin mining exploit – PHP involved… | code-complete.com and that you mention in your article too. I don't see any of the executables running or files that were mentioned though. I found that code in 8 different spots though and removed them. Maybe our old server had the executables and hacked files on them. Hard to know as it won't boot up anymore!
I think I did possibly isolate the HTTP request {URL='http://zzen1wbudopwg.nchyt.com/encfm/en0024-ssj5iway6wvg/cbeim94a1s2kebu.php?do=218', method='get'} in the http.log file to a certain site in IIS though. And it wasn't our main site. I turn off this website in IIS and it appears the weird request goes away. I turn the site back on and it starts to re-appear. It doesn't always load constantly so it's a little hard to tell. This site is pretty small. I went through each file on the site and did find one file that did appear to be hacked. It wasn't coldfusion code though. Just some html links. I removed it. That's all I could find. No cfhttp calls or anything else.
We re-installed Coldfusion 11 on Friday as well and upgraded to Update 3. It doesn't stay locked at 100% as much right now, but it being over the weekend we don't get much traffic. Monday will be the real test. I think I will leave that smaller site turned off for now and see how things perform. I'm doing a full virus scan for the heck of it overnight too. Don't really expect it to find anything though. I also turned on advanced logging in IIS 7.5 and don't see anything out of the ordinary. I made sure client variables weren't in the registry either.
Here's a part of the http.log file when I turn the IIS site on. I turn the site off and it stops popping up in the logs.

Hi,
Open Host file in Notepad. You can find Host file on following path.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Provide IP address of your server, press Tab key, provide host name
Ex. 10.6.100.11 xxxpx05.xxxsap.com
Let me know if you need any further clarification

Safari ignoring hosts file

OK. I am about to go insane, so I figured I'd come here for help.
I've been attempting to add some entries to my hosts file. After much searching, I finally figured out how to do it. (With tabs and Unix line endings and all!) When I ping or use traceroute, it uses my new hosts file entries. When I use Camino, it uses my new hosts file entries. However, Safari 4 seems to be totally ignoring them.
I've seen a couple of suggestions, but either they didn't work, or they weren't designed for Leopard. I've tried doing sudo dscacheutil -flushcache in the Terminal, and it's still broken. Any ideas?

Can MRP run without Planning File Entry?

Hi,
    I came across an issue where MRP is running accurately without any Planning File Entry for a material in E.C.C.6.
    My Understanding is MRP can NOT run w/o PFE u2013 which is a mandatory prerequisiteu2026..BUTu2026???
TRY itu2026   1.in OMDU find a plant where MRP is NOT active,    2. Create a Material with all required data (I used ROH, Proc.Typreu2013 F, Strategy u2013 70, Mixed MRP-1, Ind/Coll u2013 2)   3. Activate MRP for the Plant in OMDU.   4. Create Demand according to strategy (I used VSFB in MD61).   5. Run MRP & complete procurement as many times u want.   6. In this process anytime u can check in MD21 u2013 there is NO PFE.
     Can someone tell me what the reason / logic are behind? Is there any OSS note for it?

Dear ACCPP12,
1) in which t-code your running MRP, i suspect your running in MD02
2) MD02 & MD03 does not require Planning file entry
3) MRP gives results with out planning file entry by the above mentioned t-codes
4) where as if your going with MD01, then Planning file entry is required for materials

How to confiure Firefox to not refer hosts file

I'm using firefox on Win-7
I have host file entries that I do not want to alter. Can't even alter the name of host file temporarily.
But then I don't want firefox to refer to the host file at all. I need it to go to the DNS directly.
Is there a way to make firefox skip the hostfile check & go to DNS or at the least lookup another equivalent file instead of hosts file
Please advise

Firefox simply passes the DNS request to the DNS Client service (Windows).
It is the DNS client that checks for an entry in the hosts file when it receives a DNS request, not Firefox.

Need Help Setting up Hosts File (Leopard Clean Install)

Over the weekend, I did a clean install of a retail copy of Leopard. Yes I wiped my entire hard drive and re-installed. Today at work I need to configure a series of host file entries so my computer can recognize certain computers in my domain by name instead of by IP. I did a quick look for Netinfo Manager in Utilities and found it is not there. Where in Leopard do you go to make the Host file entries.
I know this is a newbie question, but thanks in advance.
COlliff

You can go straight to the file and amend
In Finder select Go to Folder and type /etc
With TextEdit or similar you can add additional entries.

The new entries made in /etc/hosts file is not picked up by Weblogic.

Hi All,
I have come across a scenario where i have changed the IP address of a particular host name (which was already present in etc/hosts) to point to a new IP address.
After i did this change, when i do a telnet test to the same hostname, i can see it is getting connected to the new IP to which i changed. But my service which is deployed on weblogic 10.0 still keeps sending requests to the old IP which i commented in the etc/hosts file instead of the new IP address.
My question is will weblogic cache the data in etc/hosts file somewhere?
Thanks in anticipation..
Madhu

Application deployed on weblogic server will pick the IP address of the server on which the application is deployed .
IP address or listen address for weblogic server can be configured in 3 different ways :
Listen Address : Blank --- This means that the server will listen to all the interfaces available on the Machine .
Listen Address : IP address or Hostname --- The server will listen only to the specified IP address or the hostname .
Listen Address : : localhost --- The server will be listening only on localhost address and will not be accessible remotely .
Please check what it the listen address specified at you end.
Thanks,

New session id with hosts or CNAME entry

I am hoping someone can help me out with a problem I am having with host names and session ids. This may be something simple that I have forgotten about, so here it goes.
Going through the jsp's below give different results, depending on the URL you use.
If you use http://localhost:8080 or http://machine_name:8080
The same session id will be seen on each page.
If you use http://test_01:8080
A different session id is displayed on each page.
What would cause this to happen?
Add the following files under the ROOT webapp of the default Tomcat 4.1.30 installation. Of course, I understand that storing data in servlet context like this is not a good idea, but for testing purposes it will do what is needed.
index.html:
Test_01
<br><br><br>
Call 1
index.jsp:
<html>
<center>
<%= request.getSession().getId() %>
<% application.setAttribute( "session1", request.getSession().getId() ); %>
<h1>Tomcat 1 Call 1</h1>
Call 2
</body>
</html>
index2.jsp:
<html>
<center>
<%= request.getSession().getId() %>
<h1>Tomcat 1 call 2</h1>
Call 3
<br><br>Session 1 ID:
<%= getServletContext().getAttribute( "session1" ) %>
<% application.setAttribute( "session2", request.getSession().getId() ); %>
</body>
</html>
index3.jsp:
<html>
<center>
<%= request.getSession().getId() %>
<h1>Tomcat 1 call 3</h1>
<br><br>Session 1 ID:
<%= getServletContext().getAttribute( "session1" ) %>
<br><br>Session 2 ID:
<%= getServletContext().getAttribute( "session2" ) %>
</body>
</html>
Add the following entry to your host file:
127.0.0.1 test_01
or
<your ip> test_01
or
add a CNAME entry
Thanks for any/all help.

No, it has nothing to do with host names, CNAME, DNS or anything.
The session ID is sent to the server from the browser in either a cookie header or as part of the "extra info" part of a URL with the request. If there is no session ID in either place, the server creates a new session. If there is a session ID, then it gets the session object (if it's not expired). Then it sends the session ID back to the browser with the response to that request (either as a cookie or encoded into the URLs in the page, which you have to do explicitly do for each URL). Click on a link, then the process starts again. The first time you go to a site, you have no session ID. The server just makes a new one.
The only thing that domain names have any affect on is cookies. Cuz cookies are name/value data associated with a domain name of the server (amongst other things). The browser, for security reasons, only sends cookies in requests to servers that set the cookie in the first place. The server can't get cookies that it didn't set.
So if you have a server running on your local machine, you can access that server in 3 ways:
1) localhost
2) network name
3) domain name
The browser can know quite easily that 1 and 2 are the same thing, and send cookies for either interchangably (not that it has to, but it seems you are seeing this happen, so...). But the browser will probably not make any assumption about 3's relation to 1 or 2. The association is generally to domain name, not necessarily IP address.
And it's really a moot point anyway. You should not typically be accessing a server from those 3 different means within the same session. Someone connecting to your server isn't going to use anything but #3 anyway, the other 2 (definitely #1 and #2 only works on the same LAN) wouldn't make much sense. So there's not going to be this issue at all. The session ID itself has no relation whatsoever to a client's domain name.

How do I add a new IP to the local host file?

One of the sites I manage has been migrated to a dedicated server. Before changing the nameservers, I need to proof all the pages. To do so, I need to add the new IP number to my local computer local host file.
How is that done?

Download TextWrangler, choose Open File by Name from the File menu, provide /private/etc/hosts as the path, and enter them using the same format as the 127.0.0.1 line.

"You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
"Log on to your router and change two settings.
Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
"Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

Here's what the advanced tab looks like now:

Move just wikis to new Lion server (redirect one virtual host)

I have a bunch of services on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard Server, including file sharing, VPN, subversion, wikis, several websites, a few webapps, etc. I don't want to upgrade that server right now, but I'd like to try upgrading the wikis to Lion Server and Wiki Server 3.
How could I move the wiki's to Lion Server on another machine? They are all accessed through a seperate virtual host.
We only have one public IP right now (I maybe could get a second public IP but don't want to just for this.) Everything hits my router (dd-wrt device, so quite configurable) which sends port 80 (and most other ports) to my snow leopard server.
One idea would be to have the router redirect another port (8080 or something) to the new lion server, and then put a redirect page on the original wiki address (port 80) to redirect over to 8080, which would then go to the other server. But that's not really ideal because then the users of my wiki would see it on a new port and a lot of times ports other than 80 are blocked by firewalls (not my firewall, but firewalls closer to my users.)
So does anyone have an other ideas on how to redirect the traffic of one virtual host to another internal machine behind NAT?
Separate question: any experience migrating a wiki from Wiki Server 2 to Wiki Server 3? Did it work well?
John

The best way to do this is to take the contents of /Library/Collaboration and put it in a location accessible from your newly set up Lion install. In Server.app, enable Wiki, and run:
     sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /Path/To/Library/Collaboration
After that, start the wiki and you should be good to go. You should bind your Lion server to the same Directory as the Snow Leopard server, to ensure permissions and users carry across successfully.

Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers. Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
What is the best way to handle this? I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
name anyways.
Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA? Can this be automated in some way?
Which way is best and how would it be done?

When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.
