Situation:
I've been given SSH access to a server running LAMP (Redhat) and the brief is to migrate files and database from current live server to this new development server for testing.
Further this SSH access is contained within a Protected Workspace, so basically I have to access this companies internal network and then I can access the server there through SSH.
Issue:
SSH - WTF?? :- In the murky world of media agency smoke and mirrors alas I'm not allowed to admit weakness and it appears that I won't have access to my familiar tools (filezilla + sequelpro)
I managed to logon to the server yesterday with Putty though have no idea how to achieve the mission:
Create a database
Import data to that database
Upload files
Set permission on files and folders
At what address will I be able to view the website?
Is there a kind soul out there who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

What's the problem with FileZilla? If its available on the server - run it, SSH has nothing to do with that. You'll probably want to have X server running on your computer though, and set up port forwarding in Putty to allow applications running through SSH to connect to it.
SSH is what it is: secured shell connection. Once you gained access through SSH you can do everything you could do using local console.

I have a website running on wordpress (Bitnami).the server is on an AWS behind an elastic load balancer. However, when i hit the wordpress website, it is taking too long to respond.
There is another nodejs API that is running on the same AWS server (on port 4000). That is returning a response pretty fast. So, this would not be a DNS resoulution issue.
Any idea how i can debug the reason why the wordpress website is taking too long to load?
This will likely be a security group issue judging on the behaviour you're experiencing.
Ensure the following:
The Load Balancers security group allows inbound access (port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for HTTPS)
The instances security group allows inbound access from the load balancer (on the port the application should be loaded from).
Check the health of the host in the load balancer interface within the console.
If the database is external to the instance host (i.e. another server or RDS) then ensure it supports inbound access from the instance (port 3306 for MySQL).
If the database is running on the same server (the default for bitnami) ensure it is connecting to the host as localhost.

I am trying to find website with url https://example.com:8888 in iis, but iis bindings looks like this, this iis is on a vm instance hosted on azure,
when I do netstat I get this (copied picture from internet but I am getting exact same response for 8888),
Problem:
Wildcard certificate expired on "*.example.com" we renewed it on website in iis, it shows certificate valid for 443(https) and 80(http) but it shows certificate as expired for port 8888. I am unable to find binding for this website with port 8888 so that IT team could update it's certificate.
We stopped IIS server and website on 443 and 80 stoped serving however on port 8888 it kept showing certificate expired and didn't go down. However when we shutdown the server instance, it went down as well.
How to find this website so that we could update it's certificate ? thanks
You could check whether 8888 is listened by (PID 4)IIS by using command line:
netstat -ano
If the command line show that IIS is listening to 8888, then you could use this to find the binding& site with port 8888
appcmd list site

I want to connect to SQL Server using a domain account from a web host that is NOT in the domain. This is a plain vanilla ASP.NET web app. This off-domain site hits Reporting Services using domain credentials and I don't know why this isn't allowed for SQL connections.
We have a lot of internal apps (win form and web form) and this is the last one to convert to integrated security so we can manage permissions across the board via AD, but if I have to do it in SQL, then I can accept defeat.
Has anyone figured out how to do this or is it just not possible?
You can Connect to domain SQL Server 2005 from non-domain machine and later versions but this requires that you can connect to the domain from the remote machine.
You can connect to Reporting Services using domain credential because it uses NTLM for Windows Integrated authentication which goes through HTTP authentication. Direct connections to SQL Server don't use HTTP so this type of authentication isn't available.
You will need to join the SQL box to the Web App domain or the other way around or make a trust relationship between the domains
runas /netonly /user:domain\username "c:\path\ssms.exe"

I have a good experience with Unicorn configuration with conjunction of Nginx, it works really well after optimizations and tuning procedures. But now I have got a question what is the best way to spread the load across multiple machines with Unicorns.
The question is you have 3 machines (Nginx load balancer, 2 APP servers with Unicorns), how do you manage load balancing of Unicorns with serving static assets.
Do you now any drawbacks with connection to Unicorn over TCP (timeouts, connection lost), is there any other way to upstream socket connection over the network (maybe port forwarding over SSH)? Unicorn designed to be stateless, but how do you manage the edge cases?
I don't want to serve static from balancer node, so would it be ok to setup Nginx on each of APP server and setup dumb Nginx balancer in front of them?
P.S. My current configuration is well-tested and can be found on Github, but the setup with Nginx+Unicorn on the same machine that already became a bottleneck.
UPDATE: Development is rigidly depends on the specific server configuration. Bottlenecks are going to happen not just because of developer's decisions, but also with the environment where he run it. Stackoverlow is full with highly marked Q&A related to the hard-to-know details about specific configuration. Alex who answered below works with Github I'm really appreciate to have a reply by such qualified person!
Don't access the Unicorns over TCP/network.
Your setup seems just fine, you can simply add a load-balancer in front of the APP servers, but I would suggest Keepalived (LVS ftw) as load-balancer instead of Nginx.
You can have them balance connections to the APP servers running Nginx+Unicorns over sockets.

I have server, bought from Linode. I decided to setup a mail server on it. I have about 20 domains will be pointing it.
I have a couple of questions;
This is the combination i will use; postfix + dovecot + squirrelmail. Are there better alternatives? I am completely open for recommadations because this is the first time i will setup a mail server.
Is it possible to use multiple domains with one mail server?
If it is possible to work with multiple domains, is it require a complicated and painful configuration?
Note: I can't use Google Apps because 40 EUR for per mail address is very expensive when you have a hundred mail address.
You have to have at least a basic understanding of how DNS works. It can be kind of a pain, but if you use one of the postfix plugins for management, should be fine. But yes, multi-domains on the same server is fine, it just has to know that it is representing those host hame records, and your DNS for your domains needs to be configured to have the MX records point at your server's IP.
