I've removed a website from my server, terminated the account, removed all files. But when you go to the domain name, you get the "Great Success ! Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" page. I dont want even that. I want nothing to come up.
I want it to appear as if the domain/server never existed and show up as a 404 or whatever (this was a forced remove). Is there any way to do this? is there something I didnt do? Or am I stuck since the domain is still pointed at my server.
I've tried to give the hint (move), but it hasnt worked, so I have a feeling I'm going to get questions about this new issue. It's a church related group (even thought theyve been warned this was coming), so its hard to be an AHole, but they need to go.
I just want it to come up as if it never existed on my server, if possible.
Just thought I would post up a review on what I thought about SolarVPS, as I've had nothing but joy with them.
It was back in 2007 when I decided that shared hosting was getting to slow for my website, and I was advised to get a VPS plan. I was originally with Bluehost, who provided outstanding customer service and value for money, and I was very reluctant to move from them. My worry was that I would move to a service where I was pretty much neglected, and left with 0 support, and many server issues.
However I came across SolarVPS on these forums, and gave them a go. Well I used the lifetime discount voucher, so my package was pretty cheap as it was. My server was setup instantly after payment, and things have been going fine since.
I've recently started up a new project, and needed a new VPS hosting package. So I came along to these forums again today to look for some juicy VPS deals. Came across a fair few, some which did seem very good value for money, but the issue about customer service was bugging me. What if the CS was delayed, what if my support tickets were not addressed, and what if their live chat was only live a few hours in the day. After finding some good deals, I thought hell with it, I'l get another plan with SolarVPS.
So I found their nice 20% off coupon which I applied to my account, making the pan I bought again, pretty good value for money. Bought the plan, immediately received some emails regarding my purchase. I went to the live chat and was talking to one guy, Douglas, about setting my server up. It's the one time that I've felt I was talking to a human via live chat. Not only did this guy sort me out in a snap, but he had a great sense of humour to which is always a bonus.
So, within an hour, I now have a nice new plan setup with SolarVPS that I KNOW I will be pleased with.
Let me just gloss over the points about SolarVPS I think really stand out: ....
I managed to block referrers/hotlinkers by htaccess,so images are not visible there anymore,but the problem is i still see them in access log,and it seems that causing large cpu usage of apache when checking daily cpu usage.And those loaded files even doesn't exits anymore.So is it possible to completely block them,so i can not see them in domlogs/access logs?
I tried searching around but maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.
I, as probably many other people, are in an interesting predicament.
I love my VPS right now...however obviously since I started with my VPS I'm about to out grow it, with the amount of power that I need.
What I'm looking for is a server which is completely managed, completely secured (some sort of active virus scanning), however I can get in there and have complete control like I would with my VPS, but obviously with more resources.
What I'm looking for is:
2-4GBs of ram Pentium D (minimum) up to a Xeon 3220 SINGLE processor 1000 - 2000TB / bandwidth 100mb/s uplink Windows 03 would be great, I'll settle for CentOS though
Is there any way to forbid plesk panel to use one of the IP addresses?If I remove address from panel - it has removed physically from network interface. I want to keep this IP address on network interface, but not let plesk panel use this address in all config files (nginx. apache, ssl etc.)
I want to use standard ports (443 and 80) on this IP address with some custom program not related to plesk panel and web servers. But now Plesk binds all available IP addresses to it services by default.
I felt the extreme and desperate need to post my experience with Limestone Networks here with the rest of you. Please take time to review it as I find it a vital piece of information when making a decision. I normally don't post my problems here, but this time it's needed.
I have been a customer since 5/17/2008. I was able to get someone via Live Chat when I fist went to the website. I got an instant response on the phone. It all seemed great. The server was up and online within a few hours, I was pleased. The network seemed fine and I'm fairly low maintenance, so I didn't have many complaints.
After having the account for a while, we started getting blacklisted on spam lists. I would submit tickets to see if they could work to get us removed. Typically support tickets where answered fairly slowly - I'd see a response time of a day or two. I didn't complain as I can accept things fairly well.
Next, they released a new server that was almost identical to the one I already had.
They both had the same amount of memory, similar cpus (both quad core), the only difference was one 750 GB drive vs RAID-1 750 GB drives. The price for my system was $249/month, while the new server was priced at like $130/m (the WHT special they just ran). I asked about a price adjustment for my server. They wouldn't do it. So, I asked if we could keep our IP addresses if we moved to another server. They couldn't do that either.
I ordered the new server and moved my customers over to it. It came time to cancel the old server, so I submitted my request for cancellation. I know they automatically bill everything, so I removed my credit cards that were on file to avoid this. I was then told I needed to give a 5 day cancellation notice as per my ToS when I signed up. Unfortunately, I didn't read the ToS close enough - my fault. Somehow they ended up removing the server and I guess they just waived the 5 day notice. I never really got any response on that (or bill for it either).
As of yesterday, I've had the new server for one month. I signed up for it on 7/30, so that'd make my next billing date 8/30. I did forget to add my credit cards back on so it could be auto charged again - my fault. However, less than 24 hours after my due date, I find my server is offline. I submitted a ticket which I will paste below. Bottom line, because I was late (not even by one day), they shut off and reformatted my server. Here's my support ticket:
My server LSN-D1595 is offline due to non payment. I need it back online asap! I will add a payment option to the billing system which you can charge. Just get the server back online please. ***-***-**** if you need to reach me.
Ryan G. - Support Technician - Limestone Networks Employee Posted: 08/31/2008 10:52 AM CDT Hi Breck, Unfortunately your servers have been canceled for non-payment. If you wish to purchase new servers with us you can still go ahead and do so, however I am not able to return your original servers to you.
Breck B. Posted: 08/31/2008 11:11 AM CDT Ryan, this is completely unacceptable. I am not going to tolerate this! That server has valuble data on it that can't be recovered! I don't care what your policy is, I need that server back online immediately! If you can't make this right, I will be posting my experience on WHT. Bill me hourly if you need to. Just get it online.
Bryan P. - Support Technician - Limestone Networks Employee Posted: 08/31/2008 01:19 PM CDT I'm sorry, but server LSN-D1595 has already been reformatted.

So, there we have it. My server has been reformatted because I'm a day late. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. Money wasn't a problem - I was away and just wanted to have a good Labor Day weekend. Also, I NEVER received an invoice via email, snail mail, nor a phone call. I got no notice at all. Along with that, according to their ToS, my data should be available within 15 days of my non payment (whether or not the server is).
I do plan on taking this to court- I have several people who also had access to the server who are interested in a lawsuit.
If slow responses, being blacklisted on spam databases, and being reformatted if you are under 24 hours late is okay with you - I'd really recommend Limesone Networks! They give you a great feeling like nobody cares about you. I'm not sure why a company would invest so much money in advertising, if they really aren't serious about keeping the customers that they get. This has been the worst day of my life. I hope all of you can get something from this and learn to stay away from companies like Limestone. I definately have learned my lesson the hard way.
I've encountered a curious problem. Fresh install of Plesk 11 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server. If I want to configure FTP-Accounts under "Domain&Mail" the option is missing entirely. The Server is running an FTP Server and I can connect via FTP to some parts with some users I have created in Plesk. I've scrounged the internet for information about what might be going on here but came up empty.
There is no option to configure FTP Accounts or anything FTP in Plesk. There is empty space where the link should be.
I have an issue with my daily backup. I configured to have a daily backup on an external FTP server. Everything looks to work correctly but in the panel I see that the task is a 100% forever. Never finishing completely.. So the next day, the task is not starting.. I have to remove manually the task in backup manager screen.
here is the last lines of the log file (in /var/log/plesk/PMM/backup-2015-01-20-20-46-02-824)
We will be hosting our own closed source solutions and need to be able to not give customers access to the files in their webspace.FTP and SSH access will be blocked in the firewall, so that it easy.I see it is possible to disable access to FTP users information, but the file manager is still usable in the CCP (Customer Control Panel / Hosting Panel).Can this file manager be disabled as well?
I've already stop the spamassassin service on Services Management but it's only valid one day. The next day, spam assassin service automatically start
2. my customer mailbox statistic wrong. Even if their mailbox not full but when they send email. The quota said that their mailbox full. So they can't send/receive email.
Our action : Manually, use command /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f execute-statistics
I know that the IMAP method has the sometimes useful feature of leaving the emails on the server when viewing using an email client like Outlook Express. However, in our case we were forced to use IMAP inorder to use AOL as our ISP and Outlook Express as our email client. Is there a way to have the emails removed from the server after downloading like a POP3 connection does?
The client fills up the mailboxes until the email stops working.
I have a RHEL 5 server, that host one site with a common PHP 5.x -MySQL 5.x app, it also uses .htaccess to rewrite rules. I'm trying to optimize apache to the max, and though about removing some unneccesary modules. The actual modules loaded are:
We have a large amount of multimode fiber coiled up under our raised floor that needs to be removed. The end that remains intact is running to a SAN cabinet that is very densely populated and our vendor has suggested cutting the fiber to make it easier to remove without disturbing the remaining active fiber.
Does anyone have any experience cutting fiber in a data center environment ?
Are glass fragments or any other debris a concern ?
if a program is compiled and installed (configure -> make -> make install) with a --prefix pointing to an empty subfolder, then would removing it be just a simple delete the folder and it's contents action ($rm -fr subfolder/).
Ok so lets say I was to install php from source with a complile prefix flag set to /usr/local/php
Then all the binaries and configuration files are set within the directory (php/conf , php/bin). If I want to delete the php installation then I would just remove the /usr/local/php directory, No?
I get this error in Plesk 8.6 when trying to delete a domain. I have tried various things from various forums, but they have failed:
Error: Unable to remove domains: Problems occured while removing domains: Delete database user failed: Object 'sys.queue_messages_210099789' does not exist or is not a valid object for this operation.
Earlier when I tried to remove it, it removed only physical hosting from the server (not the complete hosting account). When I try again to add physical hosting I get:
Error: DNSZone::Table:: select() failed: no such row in the table
Not sure if two errors are related. Can anyone help me out with this.
The one thing that currently annoys me is that when an account is terminated from one of our servers, the account is still left on the backup drive.
Is there any way to automatically remove the accounts files from the backup drive when terminating an account? Or do I have to continue to do it manually?
I have a customer who has a problem, today when he opened Outlook Express, it downloaded his new mails and deleted them automatically and also other mails, then when he clicked the "Trash" directory, it was empty. He checked if no one set rules, and the rules dialog is empty. He says his antivirus is up-to-date.
I'd like to change /comp.php to /comp but I have only found articles on how to remove .php completely and I don't want to do that, only want to do it for this one file.
