Check /var/tmp Is Mounted As A Filesystem
May 30, 2007I have WHM/cPanel server.
I am installed ConfigServer (Firewall)
On configserver it says " /var/tmp should either be symlinked to /tmp or mounted as a filesystem" how can i do this?

Disk Space Error :: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted On ...
Jul 25, 2008i have a 32 GB hdd the results of df command are:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 32G 29G 715M 98% /
/dev/sda1 99M 14M 81M 15% /boot
tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm
so there are 29GB used
but the du command shows only 19GB used:
du -hs /
19G /
where are the remaining 10GB from 19GB to 29GB?
Mount Tmp As Filesystem
Jun 6, 2009I currently have a VPS. I have installed cPanel/WHM + CSF Firewall.
Everything is fine and all the ports are closed except for the ones I need.
I currently have some issues I need to fix, but google isn't helping
Quote:
Check /tmp is mounted as a filesystemWARNING/tmp should be mounted as a separate filesystem with the noexec,nosuid options set
I tried googling this and there was a cPanel script but I do not have permission to run it. So does anyone mind explaining it to me one step at a time?
Quote:
You should consider adding ini_set to the disable_functions in the PHP configuration as this setting allows PHP scripts to override global security and performance settings for PHP scripts. Adding ini_set can break PHP scripts and commenting out any use of ini_set in such scripts is advised
I have disabled this in php.ini but I do not know why it still says that I have to fix this
Read Only Filesystem
Feb 26, 2008I have a server with pacificrack. When I see my website it says "Read-Only File system" and my SSH dies with read-only file system errors.
It happens once per month, and the bad thing is I'm sleeping when it happens so I don't know my server is in this state.
Even though support fixes the problem within 15minutes of my support ticket, my server is down for hours because I don't know its down to then raise a ticket. I asked support why it happens and they never tell me... just tell me to read the logs but I'm not technical enough to understand linux logs etc.
Server is centos.
Filesystem Became Read-only
Jun 4, 2007Somehow the filesystem on my server turned read-only. The databases would not connect. When I rebooted the box it would not come up.
Support had to run FSCK. Even after, the databases had to be repaired using the CPanel tool. Things seem to be ok now, however:
1. What could have caused this to happen? Software or hardware failure?
2. I get these notifications, should I be worried?

View 2 Replies View RelatedExt3 On A Very Large Filesystem
May 23, 2008We're considering deploying a large server that will have 8x 500GB drives in a RAID-10 config. I intend to use a 3ware 9650SE w/ BBU along with A/B power to each of the PSU's.
My question is... since this will return into a 2TB array/partition, in event of a crash (kernel panic, etc -- I expect a power outage will be very, very rare if at all) what do you guys think the fsck time would be? In my experience a RAID BBU significantly drops it, sometimes to the point of no manual fsck required, but in event of a manual fsck shouldn't the BBU be able to provide more consistent data (less errors) and therefore a much shorter fsck? Maybe just recovering the journal?

Deleted Tmp Folder, Mounted Secure File
Feb 13, 2008I deleted my tmp folder and mounted a secure tmp file via fstab
e.g.
/path/to/tmp /tmp ext2 loop,noexec,nosuid,rw 0 0
the temp files are now written to a secure tmp file, however some processes still need that folder for example cpanel.
"Failed to create directory /tmp/cpanel.TMP.xxxxx"
Should I ignore that and similar error messages or what am I supposed to do?
Mounted RAID Storage - No Access From Apache/php
Apr 25, 2007I have a problem with my new server's setup. It's using a big RAID storage mounted to the main system. When it comes to shell everything is fine, I have access to the disk and files. Problems rise when I try to access the storage content from my php scripts (running on apache) - "Permission Denied" ...
Anyone knows where might be the problem?
I suppose it's because of using RAID but I'm sure it's doable.. somehow..
When I tried to use CLI mode it looks fine - PHP script can access RAID'ed folders when running like :
php /var/www/html/filetest.php
Plesk 11.x / Linux :: How To Backup To A Mounted Drive
Jul 4, 2014My hosting company is offering to sell me backup space which will be mounted as a network location. e.g. /usr/local/backup
My question is how would I use this since Plesk seems to be configured either to use an FTP location or to use the server repository. Would I have to change the location of the server repository to this network location? This doesn't seem ideal.

Postgres: Restoring A Filesystem Backup
Feb 19, 2007i had to do a file system back up because of the size of my database.
i shutdown postmaster and tar'd the files.
i recently reloaded my OS and now i'm attempting to restore the backups. i first shut down postmaster, restored the backups to the data folder and restarted postmaster.
i then su'd from root to postgres user:
Code:
[postgres@austin1 pgsql]$ psql service_2_3
psql: FATAL: database "service_2_3" does not exist
DETAIL: The database subdirectory "base/16385" is missing.
the backups had a database named service_2_3 but upon restoring the backups, it doesn't seem to be available.
my data directory is /var/pgsql/data.
Code:
[postgres@austin1 pgsql]$ ls -lahR /var/pgsql/ | grep 16385
but that yielded nothing.
have i done something wrong while backing up? i don't think i have since i followed the postgres manual when backing up. but the administrators have not been very thorough with how they've set the system up for me.
how i can resolve this issue if you have the time.

Nov 18, 2014So I have a script running on my apache that catalogs pictures and clips. All the actual video files are located on a separate drive which is mounted in to a folder in my site. I've set apache as the owner and have the correct permissions on the mounted folder but I'm getting Forbidden errors accessing files even when on html file in the mounted folder.
I know it's a permissions issue at the disk or mounting level. The way I mount is by using this command:

Due to weaknesses in the SSLv2 cipher you should disable SSLv2 in WHM > Apache Configuration > Global Configuration > SSLCipherSuite > Add -SSLv2 to SSLCipherSuite and/or remove +SSLv2.
