This should help.

Here is the SAR report for the server. Remember we are running at half the cores, half the memory that is recommended - mostly just as an experiment to see how much is really needed for things to be responsive. And so far, ingesting five servers, it is working just fine. We will be adding more servers and keeping an eye on things to see how the performance is and will grow the server if we need to. We are trying to learn from this so that we will have better capacity information. But for a smaller company it looks like a very small server will work just fine. No question that the server is busy, but now that it is up and running and no longer handling the initial setup, it's nowhere near being fully loaded.

@thecreativeone91 im using 2n gateway and voipswitch.com. we found a solution by filtering these number in voipswitch so they dont pass. the thing i want to know why most of the voip companies do this sending fake calls

How would they determine a real or a fake call? They are all the same.

Think of it like you have a phone at home. Sometimes you make calls to your cousin to see about going out for dinner tomorrow. Then your kid makes a prank call to a restaurant and asks for a patron with a silly name. There is no way, looking at the voice traffic, to know which calls are real and which are prank. When you hear the call it is pretty easy to determine, but humans can determine these things in ways that computers cannot. And even humans often fail - or else prank calls wouldn't be funny. And even if they could make the judgement call, the voice trunk provider doesn't have the right to block calls, nor the responsibility, nor any incentive.

@Lakshmana maybe you can do it on a weekend or after hours?

No problem.

I found this specifically for the identical issue on ASO.

I like PluralSight a bit.

I like it, I just think it's a little bit expensive for what it is, as it's really only supplemental material. you still need a book for the Cisco and MS certs and labs.

$29.95. Not horrible.

Yes,
A gateway is just a device for getting from one subnet to another (or to the internet) so any device connected this way that has the ability to route is considered a gateway. This really isn't the standard though, unless you have a web filter.

I can't upvote this enough.

I'm not worried about it anymore. I setup keys between my C@C and local server and got Rsync working that way. I'm dropping AWS.

So you switched to.... keys? What was the complaint then?

Yes, I'm using keys. Never mind. I already explained it. Lol

Not personally, but the team I am on at Change (we are only five strong) is doing Docker Containerization now.

I have keys setup between my servers so I can ssh without a password, so if you get that setup, these are my scripts...

On the cloud server:
#!/bin/sh

cd /var/www/databases

mysqldump -u root --password=mypasswordthanksaj > thanksaj.sql
mysqldump -u root --password=mypassword literaryworksbyaj > literaryworksbyaj.sql
mysqldump -u root --password=mypassword builtbyart > builtbyart.sql

rsync -chavzP --stats /var/www/* [email protected]:/var/www/

**On the local server: **
#!/bin/sh

cd /var/www/databases/

mysql -u root --password=mypassword thanksaj < thanksaj.sql
mysql -u root --password=mypassword literaryworksbyaj < literaryworksbyaj.sql
mysql -u root --password=mypassword builtbyart < builtbyart.sql

So I export the MySQL databases to /var/www/databases as .sql files and then rsync them to the local server. The local server imports said files into its local databases. I use cron to schedule all this.

Local server:
0 6,18 * * * /home/aj/scripts/aj-import-wordpress-dbs >> /srv/samba/share/import_wordpress_dbs.log 2>&1

Cloud server:
0 5,17 * * * /home/user/scripts/aj-sync-wordpress >> /var/log/aj-logs/sync_wordpress.log 2>&1

Then I use Unitrends to backup the local server. 🙂

We'll see how this works!

Thanks,
A.J.

Here is what they eventually said...

Thank you for the follow up on this issue. After closer review, it appears the build failed to complete. This resulted in the droplet not being created. You will want to re-attempt creating the droplet. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Complain I say, complain!

Lol, love the Foghorn Leghorn reference

Suh, I challenge you to a duel

I knew a DBA who we had to teach how to save a word document while she worked with us on some stuff.. and she was also the Database & Programming (C++, VB.NET, Java) professor at a local college

Sounds like someone who failed upwards into that position of DBA

The slowest, worst written blogging system in existence is great? Well, I guess some people enjoy herpes too. 😛

lol, bad experience(s), eh?
Out of genuine interest, what's your favourite?

Bad experience? I developed on the WordPress code base in the past, it literally is one of the worst code bases there is. It's extremely disorganised, doesn't properly meet any standard in existence, and even today the code is approached as if it's written in PHP 4.1. WordPress has more vulnerabilities than almost any other equally popular piece of software, and also their crappy API leads to crappy plugins which also have tons of vulnerabilities. The key people in WordPress don't know how to program, that's the primary issue.

I don't have a favourite, they're all shit, and ironically WordPress is the best because it's easiest to get going and has so many options available. It's poorly executed. Turn on query log sometime, a regular page load will probably be about 100 database queries, many of them identical, which screams incompetence. It's sort of funny, WordPress attempts to promote caching tools for problems they themselves have created.

Here's some more detail:

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/4257928

Righto, well that's a good read 🙂
I would imagine a lot of things are just as messed up

All you have to do with a crappy piece of software is add a bunch of themes and then people will accept it.

Wait where you talking about wordpress or windows? 🙂

Yes

It would be funny if the location was known as Hamsterdam.

I wonder how many cloud providers have popped up in the last 12 months

The bigger question, how many have disappeared?

That's the main reason why I was thinking of going dedicated cloud. A beefy server with full control by me, I can spin up those vSwitches without a problem and isolate my VMs behind it.

Wish I had enough cash to spend on that, even at $100 a month it's not too bad, just don't want to outlay that much to start it up.

Digital Ocean is great! One of my favorites!

Here's an interesting read http://inlinehostblogger.com/hostgator-vs-bluehost-vs-dreamhost/

Edit: Now, I'm thinking this might be a sponsored/paid review after reading all of it.
