Wordpress recently (couple of months back) had malicious code inserted into their plug-ins, is this a brand new Wordpress install or are you moving it from somewhere else?

I would reinstall a clean LAMP server into a VM and see if you get the same issues. There is a bug report for similiar issues but that is from a while ago. If the VM doens't work then I would suspect that there is something up with the Wordpress install that is causing problems, if you snapshot the VM before you install Wordpress you could also test install similar system like Joomla or Moodle and see if you are getting the same problem. I've not used Wordpress before but it might be worth checking permissions on correct on the install, you could chmod 777 the entire install just for testing purposes and see what happens.

Which version of Ubuntu Server are you using?

Are those spiked values or is the CPU constantly being used like that? It looks like a problem with Apache. Is this server just based on choosing a LAMP installation from tasksel or have you set everything up separately?

Run top and iotop and see which processes are causing the problem. If the server looks okay then check you have a proxy exception so that you are accessing it over the LAN not through your internet connection.

We had multiple issues with the tape shutter locking commmands, scsi drivers, backup exec just crashing as soon as the system booted (it would always work after two reboots though), tape media failing. Currently using BackupPC on the disk box and that is on the other side of the building, then an external HD from there to get something into the safe.

Why yes it was, with an extremely expensive Sony tape autoloader that never worked. I think we used to get one good full backup every 3 or 4 weeks that we could store in the safe.

Very true, I just have elevated levels of paranoia from D2D2T system that was so unreliable it was worthless. If you are happy you are 'fire proof' then that's the main thing.

I would at least get a proper raid card and decent drives. You might be better off just getting a really cheap dual-socket server and using that instead. The most likely failures are disk or psu and your shopping list isn't giving much protection against failure as your are using the cheapest raid solution, cheapest drives, and reusing a system with a single psu. Or you could build two cheap systems and alternate backups between the two to offset the risk.

Sounds like our RM D2D box, pretty spacious but nowhere to actually mount anything. I would get 4x 2TB drives and then use RAID5 for more storage or RAID10 for more speed and better redundancy. If you buy server grade drives anything more than 2TB will be pricey so you would be better getting a better case and just putting more drives in.

If you want decent write performance I would go with RAID 10 and just get bigger drives, but generally you don't need high performance as you will be limited by network bandwidth. If you run any kind of deduplication or compression through the day you might appreciate the extra disk performance so that it finishes faster. Personally I would stick the OS on a partition of the same RAID array as well just to give it some redundancy.

I particularly like the rear "portholes" in the soft top.

I've gone back to a vbs script for printers just to get around the delay, we don't have any desktop background set or anything like that either. Since nearly all businesses will either use roaming profiles or persistent local profiles I don't think enough people have encountered these problems to get it properly acknowledged and fixed by Microsoft. It's more frustrating that I'm doing it the 'Microsoft way' and it doesn't work properly, but if you take the 'unsupported' route of exporting profile of someone who has logged in and then use that as the new default then there is no login delay (although you'll have broken AppData references in the registry so some manual tweaks may be required).

I have this same problem (listed in this thread) when using an exported default profile as a mandatory one. Mine also hangs a little on whilst applying folder redirection and applying printers via Group Policy Preferences. Other than a reference to this on technet (with no solution) I've found nothing.

As long as the printer is shared it will work, you could share a printer on a workstation and deploy that with group policy preferences if you wish. The printer server role just gives you a nice mmc snap-in and an alternate (less flexible) method to deploy printers with GPOs rather than use Group Policy Preferences. Personally I don't bother with the print server role.

What type of image type did you choose and what is the OS? You might want to try wiping the contents of the drive to remove any service/restore partitions.

If you just set permissions on a scratch partition so that people can make folders but not delete other peoples stuff then everything will be fine. When you import or capture a video 'event' you choose the scrathc partition, you can either leave it there and use the same Mac later, or copy the 'events' to and from you home folder if you want to work somewhere else.

The new iMovie doesn't allow you to store video clips on a network drive, only on local disks. The old iMovie works with network storage but you have to be careful about bandwidth and you'll probably find that it only works on wired clients rather than wireless.

The load balancing of audiounits used to be awful as well, no intelligence whatsoever so you had to load balance cores by creating busses per core for insert effects. It did seem to have some kind of adaptive load balancing / caching in there somewhere though, normally when I loaded a project and tried to play it back the first time it would overload, then maybe get a little further on the next couple of tries. On the fourth of fifth go it would normally playback with no problems.

I've had this message on Logic 7 and 8 on a non-networked Mac with local storage. This really isn't designed to run over a network.

By remote rebuild I mean you can PXE boot the workstation to image it without being in the room. This is what SCCM calls "zero touch", whereas what you do can do with MDT is "lite touch". There are some people trying it with MDT though, see here. This will show you everything you need to Windows 7 deployment on MDT2010.

Bad DNS? Try "ping 209.85.147.104"

Firefox has it's own proxy settings, try just opening a terminal and typing "ping google.com"

If you have internet access but apt can't connect try creating the file /etc/apt.conf and the proxy definition there: Acquire { Retries "0"; HTTP { Proxy "http://my.proxy.com:port"; }; };

Have you got a slow logon when using the default profile as a mandatory profile too?
