Squirrelmail: Email Arrives With Different Time Than Server Time
Nov 11, 2008This is a rare issue i have on a RHEL 5.2 + cPanel server.
Server time is:
Tue Nov 11 17:02:51 CST 2008
Squirrelmail time show:
Code:
Last Refresh:
Tue, 5:02 pm
So, that is correct too..
But email arrives with -4 hours time, example:
webmaster@xxx.com 1:03 pm testing email
I already rebooted httpd, exim, and imap server, and the server itself too.. and problem stills.
DNS :: Connect Time And Host Ping Time?
Jan 6, 2008I got report from webceo that I have some issues. May someone help me fix this?
DNS Lookup: 0.22 sec
Connect time: 0.33 sec
Host ping: 0.10 sec
That mean too slow with the other sites!
Server Response Time :: Network Time Out
Sep 25, 2008I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:
network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.
If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?
What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?
Daily, Time To Time Cpu Load
Aug 9, 2007I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.
Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service?
How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?
I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.
Apache :: Server Going Down From Time To Time
Feb 6, 2013The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:
- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
- Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
- PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
- operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:
1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is:
[Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is:
[Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...
Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...
2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.
3.- The majority of the errors being logged are:
[Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]

I have this machine with FDCservers. They kindly replaced power supply but I'm worrying that it's not caused by power supply but HDD.
take a look at table and let me know your opinion.. Is this HDD ok or will it fail soon ?
DNS Fail-Over
Oct 22, 2007way to get a complete DNS Fail-Over solution for my website.
Currently I'm hosted at one Hosting Facility in NY, and I'm thinking on getting a backup location either in TX or CA but my biggest problem is visitors as even If I will get the secondary location and set the TTL to 10-20min some ISPs are caching the ip address for 24hrs, so even If I will change the IPs from the old range to the new, some ISP's around the world will still cache the old IP and the visitors will get nowhere in case the main location has an issue.
And I was wondering if there’s a way to send people to one direct IP let’s say 1.2.3.4 and from there to load the pages / db or mask there connection under the domain name to a different location without them noticing it so the SSL certificate wont produce error messages.
As I'm sure that Yahoo, CNN and other major websites don’t use one web server for accept connections all over the world to their websites.
FTP Fail.
Nov 19, 2007My server getting huge number of anonymous user.
Even I had disabled anonymous login at the WHM.
When the max user reach it will make the ftp fail and restart.
It usually reach max user within a 5 to 10 minute.
How to block this?
Redundancy DNS Fail
Oct 7, 2006what happens when I have 2 DNS servers on my domain and 1 fails?
around 50% of the access fails... or they detect DNS timeout and try the other one, so 50% of the access would just take more time?
CentOS Yum Fail
Apr 12, 2009cpanel tech staff say my server
---------------
in a broken state halfway upgraded from centos 4 to centos 5. You'll need to either complete the update to centos 5 or revert to centos 4. Easyapache and some other cPanel functions require that yum be working, but "yum update" on your server currently fails due to the mix of centos 4 and 5 rpm's you have installed
---------------
i want to ask how can i fix the issue?
because i run "yum update",it fail.

Speakeasy = Fail
Aug 29, 2008So speakeasy decided to jump on the dedicated server business, and I tried them. My recommendation: Do not sign up for a dedicated server with them - that is unless you want to wait more than a month on your server (took them 35 days) in which they will lie to you and make up excuses for why they take so long. Then once they set up your server, expect it to get piss poor bandwidth and not function properly. The customer service takes 72+ hours to respond 10% of the time. The other 90% they don't respond at all. My sales rep apologized more than 15 times to me in the 35 day period I waited on my server claiming they are "new to the managed services business." This was more than obvious - I basically handed them $600 and got a worthless piece of junk which sat idle for 30 days in return.
View 3 Replies View RelatedLiquidweb - Migraiton FAIL
Oct 8, 2009I am only writing this post here because I used webhosting talk to research my recent purchase of a dedicated server with liquidweb.
I have been a happy liquidweb VPS customer for the last year and have grown my business with them. Last week I decided to upgrade from a VPS to a dedicated server and that is where things went wrong.
Stefan in sales was nice in taking my order and had my new server setup in very little time. I got an email that everything had been migrated and they would do the cut over Friday morning.
Friday morning I awoke to phone calls from my clients saying they were not getting emails, their site was down, etc.
I do some initial research and find out that liquidweb sold me a new dedicated server with old used dirty ip addressees that were blocked by ATT / sbcglobal / pacbell. To compound this problem a week later and three ip changes all of which were blocked I am still being blocked and on their blacklist. See below for list of other problems.
I was transferred to Bret my account manager who has done nothing for me and hung up on me through web today while pleading with him to get someone to help me.
I can only talk to a support supervisor and no one will let me talk to a real manager. I went on vacation to Boston this week and have been dealing with these issues the entire time.
I feel like I have been pawned off and shuffled around from person to person and can not get my issues resolved.
And to throw salt on the wound they billed $209 for a $159 server and then charged me a seperate $10 for 2 days from last month. Stefan assured me this transfer would be done at the end of the month so there would be no additional charges. Another lie.
Below is the short list of all the issues I have had with liquid web over that last since my migration.
Mysql databases were copied over
Email forwarders were not copied over
Email was being blocked by ATT/SBC/Pacbell
SPF records were not copied over
A records were not copied over
They sold me a new server with old drity blacklisted ip addresses.
After three sets of ip addresses I am still being blocked.
I was billed for both my old VPS and my new server when stefan the sales agent told me it would be a seamless migration and I would be billed for the server starting next month.
Can never talk to the same person twice. Have talked to about 20 people total over the talk week no one will take responsibility to get my issues resolved.
Can anyone recommend a fully managed dedicated server that will handle my migration with care and take responsibility when issues arise.
SAN - Fail Over / High Availability
Sep 24, 2009we are currently planning to implement SAN to our enviroment - VPS hosting.
Al VPS should be placed on the SAN - iSCSI connected to be able live motion etc.
Currently we are fighting with idea of Failover/High avalability.
There has been rumors that dual controller SAN from HP/DELL are much more problematic than single controller versions.
We are also thinking about running some opensource like OpenFiler/FreeNAS/OpenSolaris or NexentaStore on supermicro boxes with SATA or single RAID controller.
But in that case - how make the iSCSI target highly available? Mirroring of the data/space is pretty easy with DRBD or ZFS but when one SAN box goes down, there should be no interruption in iSCSI targe service - no IP change etc..
Fail: (regarding Email Accounts)
Apr 5, 2008I know I have seen a command line you can use which will activate :fail: in all the accounts on the server simultaneously so that you don't have to do each account separately, but I can't find that command.
Does anyone here know what that command is? I'm assuming it would involve /etc/valiases/?

Proftpd Fail On Start
Oct 6, 2007I wanted to upgrade proftpd and dit this.
I followed an how-to on directadminforums:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/
wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source....3.1rc2.tar.gz
tar xzf proftpd-1.3.1rc2.tar.gz
rm -rf proftpd-1.3.1rc2.tar.gz
cd proftpd-1.3.1rc2
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/run --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_tls
make
make install
perl -pi -e "s/^AuthPAM on/#AuthPAM on/g" /etc/proftpd.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart
I changed the proftpd-1.3.1rc2 version to the newest version of proftpd.org
When I run /etc/init.d/proftpd start, I get the following:
Code:

Restart Httpd On Fail
Aug 4, 2007I'm using this script (I think I got it off of WHT) to restart httpd whenever a file failed to download on my server.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
FILE=[url]
rm -f test.file
wget -q $FILE -O test.file
if [ ! -f test.file ]
then
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
echo 'ALERT - HTTPD restarted on:' `date` | mail -s "Alert: HTTPD Restarted" user@domain.tld
fi
exit $?
I have it on crontab
Code:
*/5 * * * * /bin/nfup > /dev/null 2>&1
but it didn't seem to restart httpd, I got no e-mail and our site was down for several hours.
Is there anything wrong with the script?
Fail To Connect To Mailservers
Mar 16, 2007I have this server with no control panel and dnsreport could not connect to mailservers on all my domains. But the server can send out emails because I'm receiving logwatch emails, etc. I'm also using dnsmadeeasy for my nameservers.
Quote:
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
mail.mydomain.com: Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.
I tried adding the domains on /etc/mail/local-host-names and restart sendmail but the error is still there.

Forward One Address, Fail The Rest?
Jan 6, 2007I have a dedicated server with cPanel/WHM and on it is a site with for example user name: domain
The main email user name is of course domain I'd also like to forward admin@domainname.com to the domain user account then any other emails would fail. So say if someone sent an email to sales@domainname.com it would fail unless of course I had an account setup.
Currently I can get admin@domainname.com to foward to the main account box, however in doing so it will also forward everything else.
Is this possible?
High Load Roundcube Fail

Bind Fail/server Reboot
Jun 7, 2009my datacenter says that they have not had power failures(lol yeh right) but i cant seem to figure out why my server seems to be rebooting randomly. so far its happened early 3-5am my times today and yesterday, just its happened 4x more times this morning.
im not sure if cpanel is sending me bind start failures because its not set to auto start up on reboot or if it might be related... but the server seems fine.
CPanel Sites Fail To Load
May 21, 2009So the other day me and friend installed cPanel on a VPS. Everything seems to be working perfectly however the sites don't seem to load.
I've pinged all the domains and they all seem to be fine and the hostname also seems to be setup I'm just not sure why my sites aren't loading.
I've also loaded the site on multiple computers using different dns servers and still no luck.
I haven't touched apache at all, but from what I understand I don't need to.
Fail Over Web Hosting Account Solutions
Dec 8, 2008how can I implement fail-over web hosting with 2 cpanel account on a separate server to get 100% uptime.
It has frequent database update (1 mysql db) and files uploaded from ftp time to time.
Is rsync is the solution?
Custom Services Fail After 70+ On Reboot
May 10, 2007Ive been having this issue on a box im messing around with. I run custom services that launch an exe file. Everything runs fine while the server is running. But on reboot random custom services fail. Terminal services also fails to start.
The number of services that need launched on restart seems to be random each time. Sometimes services start to fail, at around 70+ being setup. Other times you don't see it failing until 100+ services needs started on reboot.
The server load with all services running is 2-5% and physical memory is about 200 megs of 1gig, paged, is about 300-400 megs used.
It is normally 3-4 custom services that fail on reboot. The ones that fail have the following error in event viewer.
Event Type:Error
Event Source:Aprog
Event Category:None
Event ID:116
Date:5/10/2007

User:N/A
Computer:XXXXXXXXX
Description:
Subprocess monitoring failed due to subprocess is no longer active. The subprocess is probably dead. Restarting the process. Error detail: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
It will keep getting this error over and over again. However, if i stop all custom services and then start them, everything launches fine.
When this happens on reboot Terminal services also fails to start. It will not start, until I stop all the custom services. At which point it allows me to start TS without any errors.
Event Type:Error
Event Source:Service Control Manager
Event Category:None
Event ID:7023

Time:7:02:10 AM
User:N/A
Computer:XXXXXXX
Description:
The Terminal Services service terminated with the following error:
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at [url]
What I am trying to accomplish is a way to automatically launch these EXE files, and have something that restarts them if they crash or fail. I haven't been able to find a specific reason this is happening or how to fix it. So I am open to any other suggestions on how to do this.
