Creating Your Own Server Stat Script
By bob | July 10, 2008
Before you create your own server stat script in PHP, it is must to check your ports are responding also you you should aware when one of your services are down, such as HTTP, MySQL, POP/SMTP, etc. Also you should be attentive toward the current server loads, and users which will be the chief indicator of a runaway script, or process.
So let’s start.
Make sure your php script must start with <?php this tells your server that it is in fact a php script
<?php
//You can replace the domain with an IP if you wish
$site = “mysite.com”; //this is the site you wish to check
// Let’s check our common ports 80, 21, and 110
$http = fsockopen($site, 80);
$ftp = fsockopen($site, 21);
$pop3 = fsockopen($site, 110);
if ($http) {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>HTTP</b>: Working</font></font><br>”;
}
else {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>HTTP</b>: Not Working</font></font><br>”;
}
if ($ftp) {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>FTP</b>: Working</font></font><br>”;
}
else {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>FTP</b>: Not Working</font></font><br>”;
}
if ($pop3) {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>POP3/SMTP</b>: Working</font></font><br>”;
}
else {
$status .= “<font face=\”Arial\”><font size=\”2\”><b>POP3/SMTP</b>: Not Working</font></font><br>”;
}
echo(”$status”);
echo(”<hr>”);
// Users and load information
$reguptime = trim(exec(”uptime”));
if ($reguptime) {
if (preg_match(”/, *(\d) (users?), .*: (.*), (.*), (.*)/”, $reguptime, $uptime)) {
$users[0] = $uptime[1];
$users[1] = $uptime[2];
$loadnow = $uptime[3];
$load15 = $uptime[4];
$load30 = $uptime[5];
}
} else {
$users[0] = “Unavailable”;
$users[1] = “–”;
$loadnow = “Unavailable”;
$load15 = “–”;
$load30 = “–”;
}
echo(”<b>Current Users:</b> $users[0]<br>
<b>Current Load:</b> $loadnow<br><b>Load 15 mins ago:</b> $load15<br><b>Load 15 mins ago:</b> $load30<br><hr>”);
// Operating system
$fp = @fopen(”/proc/version”, “r”);
if ($fp) {
$temp = fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
if (preg_match(”/version (.*?) /”, $temp, $osarray)) {
$kernel = $osarray[1];
preg_match(”/[0-9]{5,} (\((.* *)\)\))/”, $temp, $osarray);
$flavour = $osarray[2];
$operatingsystem = $flavour.” (”.PHP_OS.” “.$kernel.”)”;
if (preg_match(”/SMP/”, $buf)) {
$operatingsystem .= ” (SMP)”;
}
} else {
$result = “(N/A)”;
}
} else {
$result = “(N/A)”;
}
echo(”<b>Operating System:</b><br>$operatingsystem”);
?>
The above code when uploaded to your server, it will display the status of your services, your user and load averages.
Now you can work with this, and make it look however you want, add new ports, etc.
Remember, this is just a very basic stat script.
Key Issues
One of the key issues you should aware that your host will need to allow the exec() funtion, in order for this to work properly.

Create an IP based website using Ensim
By bob | June 27, 2008
To create an IP-based website make sure you should have all the required information to create a website site before you start.
To create an IP-based site:
* click Add IP-based Site (Sites section) in the shortcuts section of the Home page,.
* In the Site Name field, enter the name of the site.
* Important: The site name should have fully qualified name, containing both the host name and the domain name; do not include the www prefix. The total length of the database name (inclusive of the database prefix) should be less than 255 characters.
* In the Administrator User Name field, enter a user name for the Site Administrator, the person who will manage this new site.
* Important: You must not enter a user name starting with a number (such as 123abc). If you do, you will receive an error message and the site will fail to add.
* In the Administrator Password field, enter a password for the Site Administrator.
* Retype this password in the Confirm Administrator Password field.
* In the Email Contact field, enter the email address of the Site Administrator.
* Select an appropriate option button in the Security Level field to set the security level for the site. (if available)
* In the IP Address field, enter the IP address you are assigning to the site.
* In the Select a Service Plan field (if available), do one of the following:
If you want to use an existing Service Plan template, click the arrow and from the list, choose the name of the template you want to use.
If you do not want to use a Service Plan template, or if you want to manually assign the services available to this site, click Advanced.
The Add IP-based Site form expands to display the Service Plan form that allows you to choose the service options you want to enable for the site.
Use the Service Plan Options Information to help you complete the form.
Click Add Site.
The control panel creates the new IP-based site and assigns a temporary, default home page for it. To view this temporary home page, go to: http://<your_site_name>.
