I am running my VPS on direct admin panel, my disk space is going low, so i am deleting few junk / log files
Kindly let me know
1) is it safe to delete data of this directory -
/var/log/httpd/domains
The File names in above directory are such as - " domain.com.bytes "
As it is occupying 600 MB space
2) where can i delete much junk / temp files, to free up space.
In one folder, I have thousand of files, and I want to delete 100 specific files. Saying specific files, I mean all of them has a keyword. So, I can find out all of them by using
grep "keyword" *
but dont know how to delete all of them. Not deleting one by one.
I'm having a problem with one of my users on my box. For some reason they cannot delete files or change permissions and sometimes while uploading, it says the server has reset.
I haven't had any issues myself but what could be causing this?
I am using a Linux Fedora 4.0 box with Cpanel.
I have WHM 11.1.0 cPanel 11.2.1-C11635
FEDORA 4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
My /var partition is over 64% full. 2 directories in there show a lot of space being used.
One of these is /var/lib/mysql
du -h --max-depth=1 #
shows user accounts on the server with their database names. Are these just logs, or are they the actual databases? (Probably dumb newbie question)
The other big one is /var/log/munin Is there anything there I can delete?
I want to setup a crontab to delete a file every 24 hours, I am not the best in crontab so was wondering if one of you could please give me the command I should use?

I've been using CPanel for a few years now and I've encountered an error that I have no clue how to fix it. Basically the files have been with me for the last two or three years and I've changed them from server to server. I'd say these files have been through about four or five servers. The funny thing is I can't delete any of these files. The files are in a folder under public_html and I can't delete the folder or any of the files or folders inside of that folder. I've tried through FTP and through CPanel.
The FTP error I get (I'm using WS_FTP Pro) is:
# transferred 4277 bytes in 0.063 seconds, 534.625 Kbps ( 66.828 Kbps), transfer succeeded.
226-Options: -a -l
226 58
The CPanel error I get (through File Manager) is:
[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]
and under the trash can in File Manager:
Unable to change directory to /home/mydirectory/.trash! You do not seem to have access permissions! (System Error: Permission denied)
I even CHMODed all of the files to 777. I don't know how to get rid of these old files, how do I do it? I also have root to the server if that helps.

I had a Problem with my FTP-Backup space, so PLESK couldn't do the daily backups that I configured. The problem with the ftp backup is solved. The backups are running again but there are still many large temporary files in a plesk folder.
Can I just delete them, or is this a bad idea?

But when i go to check in the Recycler folder. There many files are taking up huge amounts of space, some are in excess of 10 GB . So could i deleting these files?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to find a conclusive answer to this. I use subdomains to create client websites then once they are in their own domains the subdomains still remain. Can I delete only the subdomain and leave all the files or at least leave the database since it is still connected to the new domain. Example below.
subdomain.example.com uses database1
newsite.com still uses database1
Is there a way to copy the database into the new domain?
On my previous server and on some other hosts, I was able to write to files (for example with PHP) without having to chmod the files first.
Now I cannot, and files are required to be chmoded properly so I can write to them.
I cannot even touch() a file with PHP.
Is there any way to have this permissions removed?
I don't want to chmod the all thing, all I want is to change the configurations so I can fwrite() or file_put_contents() normally.
I's a dedicated un-managed server, so basically any advanced configurations can be done.
I think the wrong text is displayed for the option "Remove Domain Alias".
In Plesk 11.5.30 Update #13, in a Webspace, on the Websites & Domains tab, if I click an alias, a window appears for the alias with the option to "Remove Domain Alias". If I move the cursor over the text "Remove Domain Alias", or click on the link, I see a pop-up: Removing this website will also delete all related files, directories, and web applications from the server.
I think this is incorrect because removing an alias should not remove any files, directories, and web applications.
Today I check few of my websites folder under my web server I found that most of the folders contains the file "error_log" at some folders it is in smaller size but in others its around 600-900 MB in size per file. My question is
1. Whether its wise to stop creation of that file by Apache? If yes then how to stop it?
2. Second question is can we stop it for only few websites?
3. And is that safe to delete error_log file? If yes how to search that file in SSH and how to delete it using one command as it would be really hard to delete one by one from each folder.
I found this command:
cd /home
find . -name error_log
find . -name error_log -exe rm -f {} ;
find . -name error_log
the above commands will first find all files and list them, the next one will find all files and remove them, the last will confirm that all the error log files have been deleted.
to open EML files on apache webserver, actually when I load an eml (outlook email message) by using an URL, it shows the email code, it is not pasing it correctly.
What libraries (apache or system) do I need installed to parse this kind of files?
Im using apache 2.0.6.3, php 5.2.6 and RHE 5.2
Yesterday I was told by my hosting provider that my machine was at kernel panic, so they restarted it and I restarted my webserver (Apache).
I created a sub folder as I wanted to install a PHP script, so I created the folder using FTP and uploaded all of the script files.
The problem is, when I now visit that URL, my browser is asking me to download the .php file instead of the webserver executing it:
[url]
My web host said this:
it sounds like you aren't loading your php module library in your apache.conf and/or not associating the .php extension.

I going to /usr/local/apche/domlogs and but in this folder I can found logs for today only.
How can I found previous log files?
how can i hide all files and directories in public_html so when using apps suck Flash Get Site Explorere and similar software it will not show any file or directories in public_html.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a client that is certain someone is trying to hack her web-portal. I need to set up something that will alert me on suspicious activity on the server. For example someone fiddling with requests trying to make SQL / shell .. injection and similar threats.
Does any tool (for example bash script with grep) exist that would parse the raw apache logs and report if something is suspicious. Apache logs don't show the POST data so I am talking to admin to setup dump_io apache mod that enables this.
Or am I going into wrong direction here and there is whole another way to do this? I searched the web and forums for anything like this and didn't find anything.
I have moved my sites from old server with Apache 1.3 to new one with Apache 2.2.4. Since that time, the error log is full of these lines:
Code:
[Wed Jul 04 05:36:32 2007] [error] [client 212.47.9.194] File does not exist: /home/domain/public_html/russia
[Wed Jul 04 05:36:39 2007] [error] [client 212.47.9.194] File does not exist: /home/domain/public_html/russia
[Wed Jul 04 05:36:45 2007] [error] [client 213.192.18.2] File does not exist: /home/domain/public_html/italy
[Wed Jul 04 05:36:57 2007] [error] [client 83.8.104.181] File does not exist: /home/domain/public_html/mexico
The access logs show even more accesses, so sometimes the same page is ok, sometimes it is logged here. The strange thing is that these files (pages) exist! They are accessible through the browser without any problem.
Do you have any idea where could be the problem? It would helped me lot, I am unable to find any real problem now, when error log is full of these.
My OS is Ubuntu 6.06. I use mod_rewrite through .htaccess. I can provide list of apache modules, if it helps.
I using RHES 4 + cPanel.
I have MySQL 5.x, and PHP 4.4.6.
I noticed that all sites on the server, can not parse php files, tried restarting httpd, recompiling using apache update or easyapache script, and the problem stills.
index.php is at DirectoryIndex, also Addtype shows php extension active at httpd.conf.
but, when I type "php -v" from the shell, i got this message:
Code:

I found someone with the same problem, tested the solution posted there but it doesnt seems to solve this issue.
I'm moving to a dedicated server for first time in my life and I have some questions that I want to share with you all.
I have run many scripts like joomla, vbulletin, etc, and I have found that when I install a module or template or when I upload images using this scripts, the permisions of this files are wrongly assigned as they belong to apache:apache instead of myuser:mygroup.
The problem is that as my new server is going to be fully managed, I am not going to have root access to chmod this files to the right myuser:mygroup and as a consecuence I'm going to be unable to dmove or delete them usinf my ftp or shh user acount.
Hope you can help me this this issue. I need to tell my hosting company what I want to do to avoid this way of working but I have no idea of how can this be solved
I recently upgraded my Apache 2.2.22 installation on Win 8.1 to 2.4.9, making all necessary changes (I believe) to the conf files. I am puzzled that two files in the format authdigest_shm.xxxx now appear in my logs directory when the server is restarted. (Edit: there is also no httpd.pid file)I assume this is to do with running digest authentication, but is a new phenomenon since the upgrade.what conf file setting(s) have I screwed up?!
