[ehcpuser]

Will both servers have the ability to host a domain?

same answer,
both servers will behave like a single server, with distributed roles..

to explain more: only one apache will be used, only dns of one server will be used. only one of ftp will be used..
this way, it will be like a more powerful single server, i hope.

(09:57:42) Sean: but anyways, can the MySQL server also be used to serve domains?
(09:58:12) bv-infoehcp: maybe, but, this contradicts the "two server nature"
(09:58:24) bv-infoehcp: because, the purpose of "two servers" is
(09:58:34) bv-infoehcp: is to make a more powerful server
(09:58:51) bv-infoehcp: if you give the duty of serving domain to "mysql server" , then
(09:59:01) bv-infoehcp: it will no longer be a dedicated mysql server
(09:59:12) bv-infoehcp: if you wish "both servers do all things",
(09:59:13) bv-infoehcp: then,
(09:59:20) bv-infoehcp: you may just install two separate ehcp's
(09:59:27) Sean: will that work
(09:59:39) Sean: but with port forwarding, I can only assign 1 web server
(09:59:46) Sean: for port 8-
(09:59:47) Sean: 80

(10:00:18) bv-infoehcp: hmm, if you are behind a router, then you may redirect port 80 only to one server
(10:00:29) bv-infoehcp: you can use the second one for another purpose..
(10:00:35) bv-infoehcp: you may have only one webserver.
(10:00:59) Sean: what can i use it for then, having to do with Ehcp,
(10:01:37) bv-infoehcp: best way is to use it as: mysql and mailserver
(10:01:47) bv-infoehcp: if you concern balance between them,
(10:01:57) bv-infoehcp: webserver = dns+ mysql + mailserver
(10:02:04) bv-infoehcp: in fact this depends on your type of business,
(10:02:22) bv-infoehcp: if you host a mail website, such as little gmail,
(10:02:33) bv-infoehcp: then, mailserver must be separate dedicated server,
(10:02:36) bv-infoehcp: on a normal system,
(10:03:00) bv-infoehcp: server1 (webserver+ftp) = server2 (dns+mail+mysql) would be a good balance
(10:03:23) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: alright, and to set that up, I go to options, multiserver then what
(10:04:30) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: how do i dedicate it to be an ftp server?
(10:05:01) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: oh and when i forward it through the router, it gives boh machines the same IP
(10:05:05) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: idk why though]
(10:05:11) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: both
(10:06:20) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: Is that a good thing, is all i have to do now is setup the EHCP add server?
(10:09:00) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: so yeah... hehe

(10:23:45) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: Both the server's public Ip adresses appear the same
(10:24:52) bv-infoehcp: this works fine, if both server has different roles.. as i described , server1=web+fpt, server2=dns+mail+mysql


(10:25:06) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: And I want to make 1 server the mail/Ftp/MySQL server
(10:26:09) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: alright, but do I still need to add a server with the options>multiserver>
(10:26:22) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: and put it's local IP?
(10:27:11) bv-infoehcp: your central ehcp will be server2, the mysql server will be that server, so itself,
(10:27:21) bv-infoehcp: so, you wont need options->multiserver thing..
(10:27:41) bv-infoehcp: but you will need the manual settings in server1 for apache-webserver and ftp
(10:28:10) bv-infoehcp: look, dont mix things
(10:28:19) bv-infoehcp: we planned server1=web+ftp
(10:28:25) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: ehh, lol, that seems difficult
(10:28:25) bv-infoehcp: not mail+ftp+mysql
(10:28:35) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: yeah
(10:28:42) bv-infoehcp: pay attention:
(10:28:48) bv-infoehcp: * webserver must be same as ftp
(10:28:55) Sean-ehcpuser-multiserver: got that
(10:29:11) bv-infoehcp: so, web+ftp=serv1, mail+mysql+dns=serv2
(10:29:21) bv-infoehcp: you may move mysql duty to server1,
(10:29:33) bv-infoehcp: in this case, you need options->multiserver->add server
(10:29:48) bv-infoehcp: in central ehcp server which is server2

I'm going to do what we've been talking about, server 1 as the MySQL server, while the other server does the rest. As for balance, I don't know if it's a good idea, but MySQL seems good for web stats etc.
