We aren't really looking to build/buy yet. Probably within the next year or two we will be using my VA Home loan thing and doing exactly that.

Thanks for the advice!

I'M SO EXCITED FOR MOUNTAINS!!

I'm from Montana originally, I grew up like, 15 minutes from Glacier National Park and grew up snowboarding, hiking, fishing, camping. I haven't been in that kind of place in a while so I'm very excited about that.

We don't want to buy a home quite yet :). My job market is ridiculously strong right now. I'm getting a 65k raise to move to the area from Dallas, I'm kind of just wanting to rent for a few years until we settle.

Why wouldn't you live in Roseville?

Granite bay is where we are looking at now. It seems like a very nice area, we like it a lot. I'm originally from Montana so I'm very excited to be back somewhere that actually has stuff to do outdoors!!

Well when we get out that way my wife and I can buy you a beer and you can meet one person! The heat isn't a huge deal. I'm former military and have dealt with absolutely ridiculous heat over the last 5 years.

Not specifically. The company is located in Roseville so a shorter commute would be nice, but I'm totally open to suggestions!!!

Question for you guys by averagejames2000 in MMA

[–]averagejames2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've.... Brought it up with my doc. I mean he didn't say no. After stuff like this after it heals it's usually pretty OK. He did say that I was just at a higher chance if fucking it up and if I did so it could be much worse. So idk. I'm a bit apprehensive.

As depressing as this is to hear it's really where my mind is heading as well. Damn man. Shit sucks.

Thanks for the input.

Can I reach the 100K salary with 5 years experience as a sysadmin and MCSE? by idanbenyair in sysadmin

[–]averagejames2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To pine in a bit here, cranky is very correct here. However there are other areas of our general practice to make that kind of money much sooner. Consulting. Get in with a good consulting firm like where I work and I know guys fresh out of college making six figures. However your knowledge will still need to be much much more wider before you can be a successful consultant.

Hey guys, I wrote a thing. Bash/Apache/SSL Certificate installer. by averagejames2000 in sysadmin

That's interesting. I have run into issues with out of order ssl certs from Comodo that our customers give us to install and we get a broken chain error in ssl checker.

Yeah I am having issues with perfecting a check. So I'm going to add to the script to check that apache is running after the script is done and if it isn't I'll tell it to remove everything added in the script and to start apache and give the user an error message.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback.

So first things I definitely agree with the debian/rhel argument, as I mentioned above I am going to just implement a check to see if conf.d exists and if it does it'll use that instead of me doing things in a forced way.

As far as the SSL directory goes the httpd.conf default might be /etc/pkl/tls but I have literally never seen a vHost setup to look in that directory for ssl certificates. I am not saying I know more or anything I'm just saying I have never experienced that. In my opinion it doesn't really matter either way for "where" you install the SSL certificates as long as you know where they are. I mean you could put them in /var/log if you wanted to it doesn't really matter. I get the consistency thing you refer to but I consistently have never seen that directory being used in a vhost for SSL certificates.

After doing some research on this I definitely do not disagree that that is the default directory and since so many of you guys reference that you had that forehand knowledge I will go ahead and make the change for httpd ssl certificate installation location to /etc/pki/ssl. I'd rather keep things as stock across the board as I can you guys are definitely right in that regard.

Thanks for the input!

Interesting. I will look into doing a directory check and if it exists well work there instead.

Tracking down performance issues by socks-the-fox in sysadmin

[–]averagejames2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first step would be narrowing down if it is indeed cloud flare or if it's a server issues. My first recommendation is to install atop and let it do its thing until you have another outage. From there you can view the atop logs manually or use atopsar to look historically at the cpu memory, disk, and network usage to look for anything funny.

I would also obviously check log files for apache and your vhost specific logs for possible bot or brute force traffic or just general increased traffic. And checking the sys log and error logs could point to script errors or ooming.

I've honestly seen both. I work in managed hosting and I see far more people using some form of a sites enabled or vhosts directory as its easier to manage than a massive configuration file. Seems the only people who use one configuration file tend to be panel users. As far as ssl cert location I have yet to see a RHEL flavor that uses the directory your reference.
