How to have linux VPS keep running java server?

Q. I have the server an all working.
Minecraft server actually.
But I noticed the server will stop when I close my putty the server will server aswell.
How do I get it to constantly run? Even if my computer is off or not

A. one way would be to use nohup. just start your program with something like:
nohup ./yourprogram
that will keep the program alive, even when you log out. but this will not work with programs that take input from the console.
another way is to use a screen session (if screen is installed). with the command "screen" you start a shell session in which you can then start programs. if you press ctrl+a, ctrl+d (in that order), the session gets detached and will continue after you log out. after logging in, you can resume the session with "screen -r sessionname".
for more informations, try "man screen" or "man nohup".

How to become a system administrator?
Q. I had trouble with my computer so i called up my mothers friend- a system administrator. After 30 min. on the phone he fixed the problem with a bunch of commands and stuff. Im pretty good with computers myself( im running linux ) but his knowledge was just much much much much much more superior then mine. Does anyone know any books,or programs of stuff that will help me become like syst admin?

A. build up a list of contacts who can help you. i'm currently working on a linux VPS and like you i havent got many contacts. If you want we can add each other?
also use google - using that i managed to get my VPS from nothing to a web server (just need to finish on DNS but every time i get an error) and i'm certain google will answer my questions

good luck!

How do you purchase Windows Server Licenses?
Q. I wish to purchase a VPS server and I wish to use Windows Server on it. I will probably buy 3-4 VPS for different projects. The servers will be with no OS. How do I obtain a license for the windows server and how much is it?

Thank you!

A. on a vps why would you want to buy windows ?

windows server is only valid for that one virtual machine and as you can see by the price here

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/pricing.aspx

is it really worth it ?

i suggest you use an enterprise linux or server linux,
centos and fedora are both free

Any advice on starting a webhosting and computer consulting business?

Q. I have a friend of mine who has offered to set me up with a linux-based VPS, and was thinking of starting a webhosting business with this? In addition I was thinking about doing some consulting like setting up servers for small businesses, setting up home wireless networks, and PC repair? Any advice?

A. I have been self-employed as a systems engineer for over 3 years and the best advice I ever got was don't undervalue your services. It is much easier to give discounts than it will be to raise your rate in the future. Bill for every minute you work and then add lines to your invoice like "New customer discount" or give them a discount if the hit a certain number of hours each month/quarter/year. Be confident in your skills and what they are really worth. Don't give it away. Let them know why you are giving them a discount. The second best advice I got was "A value that is not recognized is no value at all." In other words, if your clients don't know that you are doing something special for them they will come to expect it. List everything you do on your invoice. The final advice is to form a LLC or a business entity that will separate your work from your personal life. If for some reason a client wants to take legal action they will have to take it towards your "company" not you. They cannot go after your personal possessions. Self-employment is awesome! I will never go back to working for the "man". I wish you the best of luck.
I hope this helps.

How do i configure vnc on a linux vps?
Q. I installed vnc server with yum on putty and don't know what to do now, launched it and can't connect to it.

A. You have a vncserver running?

vncserver -list

If not, set your vncpasswd with that very utility if you haven't, then run...

vncserver

to start one up on the default port 1. Can also say "vncserver :2" and so forth. Then connect to the IP with a viewer. Might have to say IP:5901 (5902, whatever the port is you started it on)

vncserver -kill :1 (or whatever port), when you're done with the server.

Can I run more than one Control panel on a linux VPS?
Q. I'm thinking about installing Webmin on a VPS (or two)
One already has Directadmin and the other has Kloxo/lxAdmin.
Why?
The Linux learning curve is not easy; Some things I have been able to do on one VPS and not the other. Adding Webmin might help, but I don't have 30 hours to waste if things go wrong.

In general, Can I run more than one Control panel on a linux VPS?
Thanks

A. Yes you can but they have different ways of working, so it may conflict, for example if you make changes in control pannel 1, it will save them to itself and to the Os, then you make a change to that in control pannel 2, it will do the same, then make a different change in control pannel 1, it could use its recorded changes and re-apply them over writing the change made on control pannel 2.

so yes you can, but its not recommended

Q. I have the server an all working.
Minecraft server actually.
But I noticed the server will stop when I close my putty the server will server aswell.
How do I get it to constantly run? Even if my computer is off or not

A. one way would be to use nohup. just start your program with something like:
nohup ./yourprogram
that will keep the program alive, even when you log out. but this will not work with programs that take input from the console.
another way is to use a screen session (if screen is installed). with the command "screen" you start a shell session in which you can then start programs. if you press ctrl+a, ctrl+d (in that order), the session gets detached and will continue after you log out. after logging in, you can resume the session with "screen -r sessionname".
for more informations, try "man screen" or "man nohup".

Yes you can but they have different ways of working, so it may conflict, for example if you make changes in control pannel 1, it will save them to itself and to the Os, then you make a change to that in control pannel 2, it will do the same, then make a different change in control pannel 1, it could use its recorded changes and re-apply them over writing the change made on control pannel 2.

so yes you can, but its not recommended

How to connect to a linux vps with centOS using SSH?

Q. Title says it all, how do i connect to my linux vps (running CentOS) using SSH?
What program do i have to use? because PuTTY doesn't work, just doesn't let me type in a password
can anyone help?

A. Hi Mace,

PuTTY is the best client to connect.

I know about the password thing because even i face that.

Actually in real, it does takes input of password from the user but it won't show anything.

So when it asks for the password, just put the right password and press enter, and it will connect you to your server :)

How do i configure vnc on a linux vps?

Q. I installed vnc server with yum on putty and don't know what to do now, launched it and can't connect to it.

A. You have a vncserver running?

vncserver -list

If not, set your vncpasswd with that very utility if you haven't, then run...

vncserver

to start one up on the default port 1. Can also say "vncserver :2" and so forth. Then connect to the IP with a viewer. Might have to say IP:5901 (5902, whatever the port is you started it on)

vncserver -kill :1 (or whatever port), when you're done with the server.

How to become a system administrator?
Q. I had trouble with my computer so i called up my mothers friend- a system administrator. After 30 min. on the phone he fixed the problem with a bunch of commands and stuff. Im pretty good with computers myself( im running linux ) but his knowledge was just much much much much much more superior then mine. Does anyone know any books,or programs of stuff that will help me become like syst admin?

A. build up a list of contacts who can help you. i'm currently working on a linux VPS and like you i havent got many contacts. If you want we can add each other?
also use google - using that i managed to get my VPS from nothing to a web server (just need to finish on DNS but every time i get an error) and i'm certain google will answer my questions

good luck!

How do you purchase Windows Server Licenses?
Q. I wish to purchase a VPS server and I wish to use Windows Server on it. I will probably buy 3-4 VPS for different projects. The servers will be with no OS. How do I obtain a license for the windows server and how much is it?

Thank you!

A. on a vps why would you want to buy windows ?

windows server is only valid for that one virtual machine and as you can see by the price here

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/pricing.aspx

is it really worth it ?

i suggest you use an enterprise linux or server linux,
centos and fedora are both free

Any advice on starting a webhosting and computer consulting business?
Q. I have a friend of mine who has offered to set me up with a linux-based VPS, and was thinking of starting a webhosting business with this? In addition I was thinking about doing some consulting like setting up servers for small businesses, setting up home wireless networks, and PC repair? Any advice?

A. I have been self-employed as a systems engineer for over 3 years and the best advice I ever got was don't undervalue your services. It is much easier to give discounts than it will be to raise your rate in the future. Bill for every minute you work and then add lines to your invoice like "New customer discount" or give them a discount if the hit a certain number of hours each month/quarter/year. Be confident in your skills and what they are really worth. Don't give it away. Let them know why you are giving them a discount. The second best advice I got was "A value that is not recognized is no value at all." In other words, if your clients don't know that you are doing something special for them they will come to expect it. List everything you do on your invoice. The final advice is to form a LLC or a business entity that will separate your work from your personal life. If for some reason a client wants to take legal action they will have to take it towards your "company" not you. They cannot go after your personal possessions. Self-employment is awesome! I will never go back to working for the "man". I wish you the best of luck.
I hope this helps.

How to have linux VPS keep running java server?
Q. I have the server an all working.
Minecraft server actually.
But I noticed the server will stop when I close my putty the server will server aswell.
How do I get it to constantly run? Even if my computer is off or not

A. one way would be to use nohup. just start your program with something like:
nohup ./yourprogram
that will keep the program alive, even when you log out. but this will not work with programs that take input from the console.
another way is to use a screen session (if screen is installed). with the command "screen" you start a shell session in which you can then start programs. if you press ctrl+a, ctrl+d (in that order), the session gets detached and will continue after you log out. after logging in, you can resume the session with "screen -r sessionname".
for more informations, try "man screen" or "man nohup".
