Nathan's questions

I've got a redis server running on my remote machine. It's currently set only to bind 127.0.0.1.

I can ssh into the machine with ssh -D 9999 mydomainwhatever.net to open a SOCKS proxy and then configure my Operating systems's network preferences to use that proxy for all connections.

Is is possible to then connect to the redis server running on the remote machine with a redis-cli running on my local machine? I'm attempting to use redis-py as the client actually but it's not relevant I think.

I'd prefer not to expose redis to the internet.

I currently have a Apache2 listening on port 80, and a homemade game server running on higher unregistered port (50214). I an rewriting the game in Javascript and planning on sending the network communication over websockets on port 80 to get around the firewalls that many companies and universities put in place.

How would I go about configuring a websocket server to listen for websocket connections on 80, and unpack them and forward them to the game server listening on 50214, without interfering with apache?

What websocket server implementation should I use? and how is this usually done?

I know that after running top, I can press 1 and get a list of the CPUs with their utilization percentages. I suspect I can do this in batch mode too with the -b option, but I don't know how, and I cannot find it in the manual.

I need to read it periodically from a python program, so it must be in batch mode.

I am hosting a Wordpress blog, and having a strange problem. When I connect to the server (http://71.65.199.125/ at the time of this writing) it displays the Title correctly, and half of a download bar, indicating it has received some of the page, then it hangs for exactly 150 seconds (timed it twice), then it sends the rest of the page, but without the stylesheet. after that it hangs indefinitely, continuing to say "connecting..." without making any progress.

If you have any clues as to what might be happening, or how I could print debug logs of PHP or something to see what it is looking for during that hang time that would probably help.

recent changed I have made: switched wordpress themes, however I did see it work once with the new theme. moved the server to another building, with an identical ISP, and linksys router forwarding setup. I have also added a favicon.gif file to /var/www but without linking to it from any of the wordpress pages. I have also had a unanticipated power interruption.

System info: Ubuntu debian 9.04 Apache2 PHP 5 Wordpress 2.9.2
