Ive been having some issues with my cpanel lately... it seems everytime I add an account via whm or a subdomain via cpanel it locks up when "Restarting Apache"
I have 2 identical servers, 1 runs fine... this one though ive reinstalled apache...multiple times with no results... now im reinstalling cpanel and it seems forzen at 50% and just says
Apache ... ... ... ... for about 100 lines.
How do I lock SSH down to just my IP range and with a key?
View 7 Replies View Relatedi have question about locking in homedir.. i bought few weeks ago debian box, and i need to create shell accounts with locking axx to user home directory.. or block access to other users directory..
chown 701? jail? how to?
[root@server001 root]# iptables --flush
[root@server001 root]# service iptables restart
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter mangle nat [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [FAILED]
Applying iptables firewall rules: [ OK ]
As soon as I restarted it, I got locked out again. Disabling iptables enables me back in ssh. What can I do to fix this?
I don't know why, but the server locks up daily at different times of the day. I have to reboot, flush iptables and it will happen again hours later.
I don't know what to look for, what logs, etc.
I'm confident it is something within iptables
I have apf/bfd installed and dos deflate as well.
How can I trace this?
Nothing suspicious in /tmp either
a way to lock users in their directory. E.g. if I host a domain mydomain.com, I need that the owner of this domain can access (read, write, execute via ssh) only the folder www/mydomain.com and nothing else. The solution does not to be a ultrasecure one.
1] adjusting privileges (e.g. deny execute on dirs for the "others") seems a sure way to make the server unfunctional
2] rbash - when I set shell to rbash for a test user, the user can no longer connect to server through winscp
I have a (dedicated) server out of control. It is managed by a 3rd party company who has never been able to get the spam and server load under control. Loads average over 5! and there is no activity in top other than sendmail and mailscanner (with Ensim).
I turned off mailscanner and sendmail while I typed this and server load went to .08.
I'm going to switch (dedicated) servers to a new provider (for reasons above plus a few others) which will include managed service from the server provider as well.
There are only a few programs that need to run on this server. VBulletin is the main concern.
I want to lock down all mail access. I want vbulletin to be able to send outgoing email as part of its administration and as part of its member notifications.
I don't want ANYONE OUTSIDE THE SERVER to be able to send mail through this server.
One idea I have had is to use DNS to assign all MX records of every domain on the machine to the free gmail service.
I have one domain on this machine (and important domain) that gets thousands and thousands of spam. I assigned its' MX records to NO-IP.com who filters and forwards email to me. That has worked - but server load never budged.
the load of my server is high,
i login whm and check the CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage
User Domain %CPU %MEM MySQL Processes
mysql 3.30 45.97 0.0
Top Process %CPU 1.0 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir/ --datadir/var/lib/mysql --usermysql --pid-file/var/lib/mysql/hostname.com.pid --skip-locking
Top Process %CPU 0.7 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir/ --datadir/var/lib/mysql --usermysql --pid-file/var/lib/mysql/hostname.com.pid --skip-locking
Top Process %CPU 0.6 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir/ --datadir/var/lib/mysql --usermysql --pid-file/var/lib/mysql/hostname.com.pid --skip-locking
the values are higher before,
i want to ask what is skip-locking and if i add skip-locking in my.cnf,
will the problem been improved? and will it take any effect or problem?
I'm running apache to serve PHP files on (/home/www/) and thttpd to serve images on (/home/www/images)
thttpd runs on a different IP than apache, apache only listens to its IP.
After doing this, the number of apache processes decreased significantly, however performance has gone down, and apache is starting to crash very frequently (swapping).
Could there be a file-locking issue? Do I have to separate the images folder from the www folder?
I've seen that a similar topic was posted earlier today, but I have more specific question. I'm looking for the e-mail only hosting. Requirements:
* dedicated IP
* SMTP + SSL (TLS)
* POP3/IMAP + SSL (TLS)
* up to 10 e-mail addresses from various domains
* forwarders (10 or more)
* 1-5 GB storage
* 10 GB bandwidth
* budget: the less the better, but I'll pay any reasonable amount of money if the service is good. Basically I need to find a provider at which I can keep my e-mail address once and for all. (I need a few e-mails only, a few forwarders, 100 MB storage and 1 GB bandwidth but I stated more so I don't run out on resources)
Is there any significant difference between SSL and TLS or is it all mainly in the proprietary vs open standard?
Is there any good reason why not to use Google Apps for this purpose? I've read that some people are concerned about privacy. Is there any pro that can comment on this (privacy issue) and remain objective?
One last (dumb?) question. What is the purpose of domain locking? Before AuthCodes were introduced I could see the reason for locking domains, but why would anyone want to lock the domain these days? (and yet I see majority still does) I mean, noone can initiate the transfer without providing AuthCode (can he?) and isn't that alone good enough to keep the domain safe? And if someone manages to gain control to the control panel to read AuthCode then he can easily unlock the domain so I see no additional layer of security.
got error with cpanel linces after force reboot

An arbitrary file inclusion vulnerability has been discovered in the Horde
webmail application. At present, we can confirm that this security
vulnerability in question affects Horde 3.1.6 and earlier. Based on
incomplete information at this time, we also believe this affects Horde
Groupware 1.0.4 and earlier as well (cPanel does not use Horde Groupware
at this time).
cPanel customers should update their cPanel and WHM servers immediately to
prevent any chance of compromise. The patch will be available in builds
11.18.2 and greater (or 11.19.2 and greater for EDGE systems). The updated
builds will be available immediately to all fast update servers. The
builds will be available to all other update servers within one hour of
this posting.
To check which version of cPanel and WHM is on your server, simply log
into WebHost Manager (WHM) and look in the top right corner, or execute
the following command from the command line as root:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
You can upgrade your server by navigating to 'cPanel' -> 'Upgrade to
Latest Version' in WebHost Manager or by executing the following from the
command line as root:
/scripts/upcp
It is recommended that all use of Horde 3.1.6 and earlier be stopped (on
cPanel and non-cPanel systems alike) until Horde updates can be applied.
You can disable Horde on your cPanel system by unchecking the box next to
'Server Configuration' -> 'Tweak Settings' -> 'Mail' -> 'Horde Webmail'
within WHM, and saving the page with the new settings.
I have 2 servers both have cpanel. I want to use 2nd server's mysql in my site which is on 1st server. I think thats not that hard. I don't wanna do clustering as this is temproary.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of moving websites and emails to a new host. I am doing the transfer manually because we are gradually moving different part of the site at one time to allow developers to work on new parts.
I now want to migrate all of the email accounts off the old cpanel server to the new cpanel host. What files and settings do I need to move so settings are not lost, such as save mail and contacts?
I'm having big trouble trying to update an SSL certificate with cPanel.
I'm such a dummy that I've ended up buying 2 SSL certificates to see if that may fix it.
I now have 1 certificate for www.mydomainname.com and 1 for just mydomainname.com
I have logged into the account in cpanel and uploaded both certificates and when I view them in Security -> SSL/TLS manager -> Certificates They both display the correct host, correct issuer, and correct expire date.
But when I try to visit my site using https I get:
The certificate expired on 4/8/2008 7:59 PM.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
can anybody make me offers on a vps or rps with cpanel and whm?

What would be my next steps?
Anyone here use PAX in their kernel builds? I've been trying to find a setup that works, but with no luck. stability wise.
I can run CPanel fine with just about any PAX setup, but after awhile with some settings the server eventually will get a load of over 250 and 1000 processes like it's not able to terminate them, or turn 4GB ram into like 3.2GB ram.
has anyone managed to setup cPanel /WHM with 1:1 NAT? I tried cPanel support with no luck, but I have 1:1 setup on all my IP address with no luck!

using centos5 and installing using the yum command (i would like to use it from the site but do not know how to compile a install)
getting a VPS with either 384mb or 512mb and I would like to know what control panel uses the least amount of ram I have a choice of either cPanel or DA
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a reseller account with site5. The last months the service has been horrible, sites down, dns down etc.. and the people there dont do a thing..
so i want to change to something else. I assume that VPS+whm+cpanel will give me something similar.
Which vps hosts are good? and which packages can you offer me? I'm paying about 19 usd a month now.
i am now unable to remove subdomains for some reason, even though it says that it is successful.
i added 2 parked domains that is to redirect to my main domain and it created the subdomain folders for me.
i went to try creating a subdomain for parked.co.cc and tried to redirect it to my main domain.
so example i created this subdomain: parked1.co.cc.maindomain.com
in the list of subdomains table, i have:
Subdomains: parked1
Root Domain: .co.cc.maindomain.com
but however it should be:
Subdomains: parked1.co.cc
Root Domain: .maindomain.com
how can i solve this? i just want to delete it now..
also for some reason my /cpanel and /webmail goes to my main hosting website url but not mine! so if i type www.maindomain.com/cpanel it goes to www.mainhosting.com:2093 etc!
Where do you guys currently get your external vps cpanel licenses? Cheapest ive been able to find is $15
Also what type of resources does cpanel require to run in the vps as far as ram used, etc..
My provider can provide me with cpanel vps so i have to get it externally, but 15 per is a bit much i think.
I now have tried a number of VPS accounts with CPanel.
I have taken the 256mb burstable to 512mb.
I am only running a simple php mysql online game (AATraders.com), yet i always max out at the memory and the server crashes.
Even when there is no one online I have issues.
I get the feeling that VPS with Cpanel and anything less than 1 gb ram is not going to work.
i can access all my domains and sites but i cant get to cpanel or whm.

Typically I can use WHM to restore them; however, it seems as if there are problems restoring them with the new WHM because its so big.
I’ve been reading several posts about cpanel vs. directadmin and the difference in RAM usage.
I understand that cpanel is a resource hog that uses more RAM... so here is my noob question...
How and when does this have an impact on my site visitors?
Meaning...
1. Does this ONLY have an impact on ME while I’m using the control panel? Or..
2. Does this impact my visitors ONLY if I’m running/using my control panel at that moment? Or...
3? Does this have an impact on my visitors all the time regardless of my control panel usage at the moment?
I noticed there are a lot of different web tools in my cpanel. I want to add a feature to my Free Music Videos website so that visitors can post comments about the videos.
Is there a cpanel utility that will allow me to easily implement this type of functionality right on each video's page?
