I have a need to create about 50 clones of a user account. Obviously, they would each have thier own url and username.
I have WHM and root access to my server.
The reason I want to clone is because it will save massive time versus doing each one individually because the sites are exactly the same. My client is basically just using a parking page script.
I am looking for access to a specific environment and I thought i'd put it out there and ask y'alls if you have seen a good way to achieve or a reseller that would let you...
a. Use whmcs to auto create accounts (yes, ino, very likely in most cases)
b. Manage all the accounts from a user that has access to all the webroots.
Im looking for a setup that lets me autocreate an account so a user has access but lets me use dreamweaver to manage all the sites in one session. I've found either or, but not together.
I thought about buying an instance of cpanel or lxadmin but im tentative to move away from a guaranteed uptime and backup solution that comes with a reseller environment.
I got an unmanaged vps coming with Lxadimin. I can create the ftp properly.
All ftp accounts I made just point to the same directory that I could not modify to other folders.
I want a default general directory (such as ./www/ and something) where I upload the programs using ftp account. How to work it out?
another, is there any default ftp for administration on Lxadmin or vps. I triey differen password and name a lot of times to log on. but it doesn't work.
In the past WHM gave us the chance to check the hosting accounts daily cpu, memory and mysql usage in server status, but on the new WHM/CPANEL releases we noticed that this values are not so precise as they were.
Anyone know how can be found the average use of cpu/memory/mysql of each hosting account letting the hosting companies understand who uses more resources?
My Pink Floyd website has a photo section of rare concert pictures that our members upload. We have about 3,000 of these pictures, that our members upload via an FTP server that is hosted on a simple cPanel web hosting account. Someone logged into the account and not only deleted all the pictures, but uploaded obscene pictures and index.html files to some really nasty stuff.
We delete all the obscene stuff, but before we re-upload all the pictures I need to know...
On a cPanel account is there a way to have the FTP User only able to upload files and not edit/delete/change? Somehow we can edit their permission?
I asked HostGator about this and the ChatTech said this cannot be done, and I was a bit surprised. I could easily do this on my own server, but i'm not sure where to start at the user level.
Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to add user zaqw) Unable to add user zaqw and when I try to create it again I receive this message Account Creation Status: failed (Sorry that groupname (zaqw) is taken. Check /etc/group)

I have a problem with one of my user accounts (let's call it testuser) in Plesk. System is Windows Server 2012 R2 with Plesk 12.In the Control Panel, the customer and subscription for testuser are removed, so there should not be any data left for the domain/user.
However, when I want to create a new subscription with the username testuser, Plesk gives the error "User account already exists". I tried to manually remove the domain and took the following steps:
Code: C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskbin>customer --remove testuser An error occurred during removal of customer account: testuser does not exist
C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskbin>webuser --remove testuser The web user with the name 'testuser' does not exist
C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskbin>ftpsubaccount --remove testuser -do main testdomain.tld Unable to remove FTP account: Unable to find service node for web service on dom ain with id=0
C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskbin>database --remove testuser An error occurred during database removal: database does not exist
As described in this topic, I logged in to the MySQL server and tried to remove the user:
Code:
C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskMySQLbin>mysql -P8306 -uadmin -p[admin-pass] psa mysql> g SELECT id FROM `sys_users` WHERE login=`testuser` ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'testuser' in 'where clause' mysql> g DELETE FROM `sys_users` WHERE login=`testuser` ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'testuser' in 'where clause'
Also, the inetpub/vhosts directory for the user is correctly removed and therefore doesn't exist. Are there any other steps I can take to remove the user manually and so be able to recreate the user?
We use CentOS Linux 7.0.1406 (Core) with Plesk Version 12.0.18 Update #27.
We have the following problem:
When a user clicks on a database in his account and tries to login with phpmyadmin, Plesk prompts for a Password of that specific user. The message is (in german):
Code:
The site https://........:8443 responded with: Enter the password to log in as the database user xxxxxx
When i enter the correct password a new phpmyadmin window opens and the user can use his database. A few days ago you didnt have to enter a password at all. When you were logged into Plesk as a user, you could just click "Databases -> Webadmin" and phpmyadmin opened up without Plesk asking for a password.
The question for the password is NOT coming from phpmyadmin. Its from Plesk itself. After i enter the correct password plesk hands the request over to PMA.
For debugging i created a new database for a user and i could enter its database without any problem. No password was required. But the existing old databases now all require a password. So obviously Plesk is not aware of these passwords anymore. I guess they are/were stored somewhere.
When I change an email address on a user's account I get this error?
Code:
Internal error: mailmng-mailname failed: Unable to open dir /var/qmail/mailnames/mydomain.com/stevebrown/@attachments: No such file or directory System error 2: No such file or directory
Message mailmng-mailname failed: Unable to open dir /var/qmail/mailnames/bullochrec.com/stevebrown/@attachments: No such file or directory System error 2: No such file or directory File Agent.php Line 243 Type PleskUtilException
I'm starting a youtube clone / streaming video site and I need some info on hosting and bandwidth.
1.) Does anyone have any information, or can provide me with a link to information, about the costs required?
2.) I know bandwidth is the biggest cost. Does anyone know what kind of prices I will be paying per gigabyte? I heard its 5 - 15 cents per gigabyte (and dropping) - is this accurate, and where can i get the best rate while still having a reliable host that can handle a lot of traffic? Is there any kind of a list out there?
3.) Besides bandwith, what other costs are involved - for example, is storage space expensive? Will I need a dedicated server, and how much does this run? Other costs?
I just purchased a 500GB ATA hard drive (meant to get SATA but must have misordered, but I don't think it makes that much difference) to replace a 80GB SATA hard drive on a Windows Server 2003 server. There are two partitions on the 80GB drive, and rather than add the new HD as a third partition, I would like to clone the data on the 80GB drive to the 500GB drive, then increase the partition sizes and remove the 80GB completely. Is there a specific method or software I can use to accomplish this?
i have found a nice script "phpmotion.com" and itīs freeee and i need help to upgrade the software of my vps.
i have a linux vps cpanel/whm 512ram guaranteed 30GB space 450GB bandwith...
how can i upgrade the gd library to higher version(captcha code not working on my sites) and what is the command line to write on ssh console for this software:
- FFMpeg - LAME MP3 Encoder - Libogg + Libvorbis - Mencoder and also Mplayer - FFMpeg-PHP - Be able to run background processes
Is it possible to clone centos 4.6.x + cpanel 11 hard drive to brand new disk with same capacity? just like we clone hard drives in windows with noton ghost ?.
I have a server with failing hard drive (smart errors) and drive must be replaced soon but i feel lazy to restore everything from backup hard drive and was thinking it will be smart to just copy mirror of primary hard drive from original hard drive to knew one. Is this possible?
I do have 2 backup copies, so don't worry about that .
Btw, i found this link which says its possible but i am not sure. Please suggest.
to install in my VPS the vShare script and I have a headache with this issue, and I decide to contract an installation service. HostOnNet offers this service by $25.
I want to know if you meet this company or other that offers the same. I don't matter the price, if they are good.
I want to be able to clone a existing virtual machine image(whether it's openvz or xen) and deploy it.
It's sort of like Amazon EC2.
I want to set up a virtual machine image once. Then deploy it(it doesn't matter whether it's on the same physical machine or not) to a new machine or overriding existing image on a existing machine. It's fine that the VPS provider charge me a monthly charge for every virtual machine I deploy.
This way, I only need to maintain one master virtual machine. It'd be even better if I can export a image to my own machine, modify it locally, then upload it for deployment.
I am a working on a website which will be more diverse but will work in the same way SWOOPO and many other auctions websites work with bids being placed etc.
I do not want to run the site on a hired dedicated server, I have a budget of around Ģ5000 (around USD $8000) to buy a server. I was thinking of buying something from ebay, I am as of yet undecided exactly what to buy but I am leaning towards an affordable DELL 1855 blade chassis with the full 10x blades that is available. I have already made enquiries with datacentres in London about colocation costs, just waiting for an official quote.
Each blade has:
2 x Intel Xeon 3.6Ghz/1Mb Processors Both Installed 4096MB ECC RAM 1 x 36GB U320 10k Hot-Swap SCSI Hard Drives PERC 4/iM RAID Controller
Further information in the advert:
Blade Centre Components:
1 x Digital KVM Module
1 x 10 Port Gigabit pass Through Module
1 x DRAC/MC Module (1 x Serial Port, 1 x 10/100 RJ45 Port for Remote Management)
3 x 1200Watt Power Supplies
7U Rackmount Chassis (No Rails Supplied)
All housed in PE1855, 7U Rackmount Blade Centre
Optional Gigabit Ethernet Daughter Cards Available @ Ģ60.00 per Blade
This can give 72ghz of processing power with 40GB RAM and that is awesome. Does anyone know an approximate figure of how many customers/queries the server can handle at % rates? I know this depends on the size of the database and so on but I am just looking for estimates please.
I know I will need at least two cheap servers for a SWOOPO clone, one to run the website and the other for the SQL so rather than do that and get two servers I thought this route was better when weighing up the 7u size along with 72ghz processing power.
I am not looking for advice and tips on hiring a dedicated server but I really would appreciate some advice on what server to buy because the script is nearly 95% complete and we should be launching within 6-7 weeks after heavily testing it.
how to handle the file storage of a youtube clone?
Is it just a matter of getting more servers with a few hdds or are there specialized companies that one can upload files over a distributed file streaming network?
The reason I ask is because I have thousands of gigabytes of videos and it appears to be impossible to upload it on 1 dedicated server or even a few.
