Q: Is
there an upper or total limit on the size of the virtual server?
A: Yes. The virtual server systems
(150, 300, 400 meg) has a 400MB total limit that they may be increased to. If
you find you need more than this you may upgrade to the 1000 meg Virtual
Server.
Q: How
much disk space is used by VAdmin, Perl5 and FrontPage 98?
A: A fresh, new, virtual server is
setup with only 900KB of space used for necessary user-owned files. That means
on a Virtual Server which currently gets 300 MB of disk space, 298.1 MB is
available to you:
You can check your disk space with the Server Status tab in VAdmin, or Telnet
to your virtual server and type the diskspace command at the prompt:
% diskspace
A new virtual server displays the following results:
Limit: 300 MB
Used: 0.9 MB
Free: 298.1 MB
Please note the following:
Vadmin uses no space. Those files are located in an area outside of the user's
directory space.
Perl5 is installed by default on each virtul server. However, there are 11.5
MB of perl5 libraries that are not installed by default. If a user decides to
install them with the "vinstall perl5" command, the install will
take up 11.5MB of disk space.
If a user decides to install the FrontPage 98 extensions from Microsoft, they
will take up an additional 11.3 MB.
Q: How
much disk space have I used?
A: To see how
much space you have used on your server and how much space is still available,
Telnet to your virtual server and type the following at the command prompt:
% diskspace
The same summary can be viewed on the default page of the Virtual
Administration Suite.
Note: We does not put a limit on the number of files you can have on your
virtual server.
Q: How
can I purchase more disk space?
A: To purchase more disk space,
please contact RSH Web
Services.
You will need to provide your domain name, email address, and domain name, as
well as the amount of space you would like to purchase.
We sell space in 20 MB blocks at $1.00 per MB. So 20 MB would equal $20.00 per
month.
Q: Where
is the space on my virtual server being used?
A: To
view where space is being used on your virtual server, Telnet or SSH to your
virtual server and type the following at the command prompt:
% du
A hundred or so lines of output should appear,
similar to the following:
1
./.netscape/cache
2 ./.netscape
12 ./.Xincludes
9 ./.xfm
3974 ./bin
3170 ./shlib
2 ./etc/replies
11 ./etc/.installed
2 ./etc/webalizer
300 ./etc
67 ./tmp
1 ./ftp/pub
2 ./ftp
1580 ./usr/local/etc/httpd/logs
The numbers that appear in the left column display
the size of each directory, measured in bytes. The du command can help you
quickly find the directories that are using a lot of space.
NOTE: If your Telnet/SSH client does not allow you to scroll back, you can
place the output in a file. For example, the following command writes the
output of the du command to a file called du.file:
% du > du.file
After you have run the above command, you can view
the output file using the more command:
% more du.file
