I have a cPanel website, its /tmp and /logs directories have taken large amount of disk space now. What is the best way to clear the /tmp and /logs directory safely without causing any issues ? Analog, AWstats and Webalizer are enabled for this website. I guess most of the files belong to them. So is there any way to clear them without causing those statistics softwares to have any issues ? I have root access also to this server.
View 3 RepliesI've got an account (cpanel) with only the default catch all box set up.
The box has over 50k messages and I want to clear it out (copies downloaded) however as not a regular mailbox I can't just delete it and recreate.
I really don't want to download all the messages again and doing it via webmail will take forever (and leave me with RSI)
I had a message that a chkdsk was to be done next time I reboot. As it is during week day, I cleared the dirty bit. But the message appear again when I tried to do a defrag. Can I know after clearing the dirty bit, will a reboot cause the chkdsk to occur or will it reboot normally?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had this spam problem on my server. Some perl scripts uploaded to /tmp folder were generating lots of spam email. We stopped sendmail, cleaned the server from all the bugs and erased all the messages in /var/spool/mqueue. Yet when I start sendmail again I begin receiving lots of autoresponders and returned emails. Where are those incoming mails located? In which queue?

I just got an email from my vps saying that a BFD attack was stopped and the ip was banned after 40 failed attempts of logging into ftpdpro. I logged in and started looking around and I noticed that in my apf log file there was:
Code:
Jan 15 00:54:07 s1 apf(22290): {glob} firewall initalized
Jan 15 00:54:07 s1 apf(22290): {glob} fast load snapshot saved
Jan 15 00:58:06 s1 apf(32425): {glob} uptime less than 5 minutes, going full load
Jan 15 00:58:06 s1 apf(32425): {glob} activating firewall
Jan 15 00:58:06 s1 apf(32500): {glob} unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.
Jan 15 00:58:06 s1 apf(32425): {glob} firewall initalized
Jan 15 00:58:06 s1 apf(32425): {glob} fast load snapshot saved
Jan 15 01:00:04 s1 apf(3950): {glob} uptime less than 5 minutes, going full load
My concern is that it says "unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.
is there anything that logs server load and what processes have caused any spikes?
one of my servers keeps going down under high load, well it seems to lock up and the noc has to reboot, but ofcourse the techs can't diagnose a problem after as it runs fine and when i send them a ticket it's because the server can't be reached at all and then they can't diagnose it either
I moved a domain of mine from one of my CentOS servers on my SoHo LAN, to one of my CentOS cPanel/WHM servers. Since the SoHo machine had been handling this domain's mail for almost 2 years (300+ mb of mail), I decided to continue running it from home.
The Apache daemon was stopped on said SoHo box following DNS propagation to the cPanel machine, but Apache was automatically started again after having to reboot the SoHo server. Before I got a chance to kill Apache, I got some weird entries showin' up in the access_logs.

I ask simply because I don't recall seeing a "CONNECT" entry in my logs before, and I've been at this for awhile. That or I've just not paid any attention. And what's with the SSL port?
I guess I'm just a little confused as to what was trying to be accomplished here...it hasn't returned since.
Can we delete sql logs ? as it occupies 2.97gb
All the log is under a single file, occupying huge amount of space on our server
use lxadmin for the vps
we are unable to even open up the file, as we have almost run out of space, we would atleast like to delete around old logs older than a month, this logs are from 3 months, so please help us in solving this problem
if we delete the sql log, will a new log be created automatically or it gives an error?
if redhat keeps a log of ip addresses which have logged into the server.
Ive got a machine that one of my staff logged into today with the root account, and im wondering if I can find out the ip address of the user who logged in as root?
How can I check the logs to see if there are any errors? Can I check this via WHM?
