Recently I adquired a new HD for one of my cpanel servers because the primary one was almost full at 90%, now i wanna create accounts in the new secondary HD. This HD is already monted as /home2 and ready to work, but I just dont know how to create the new accounts in WHM to use the secondary HD.... can anyone tell me how to do it using WHM ?
The problem is that my hd is failed. Hoster setup new server, also installed the secondary drive but not mounted. So need advice how can i get my data off it?
My server has 2 drives, running on mysql 4.1.21. Can someone give me detailed instructions on how to move mysql to the secondary drive on the same server? The secondary drive has only /backup
I am having issues with my server and WHM. First of all, i followed the link here but i am a bit confused. When i goto add the Assign IP Address button it pops up and says no free ip addresses, i click on Add an A Entry for this Nameserver and the window pops up warning the domain file doesnt exist, it says it creates one and adds the A record.
A few notes, i did change the alternative main ethernet device to venet0:0, and the hostname to myserver.mydomain.net (as well as the actual hostname, so they match in both areas). On clicking next on the initial setup, i enabled the local nameserver. The setup completed and then the problems began.
Another massive issue i have is that i cannot create accounts, i goto create a new account and enter all the information. i hit create and the status says Account Created Sucessfully. However the account isnt listed in the account list, it is however listed in the dns zones (under edit dns).
zone "." IN { type hint; file "/var/named/named.ca"; };
zone "localdomain" IN { type master; file "/var/named/localdomain.zone"; allow-update { none; }; };
zone "localhost" IN { type master; file "/var/named/localhost.zone"; allow-update { none; }; };
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/named.local"; allow-update { none; }; };
zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/named.broadcast"; allow-update { none; }; };
zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "/var/named/named.zero"; allow-update { none; }; };
zone "ns1.mydomain.net" { type master; file "/var/named/ns1.mydomain.net.db"; };
zone "ns2.mydomain.net" { type master; file "/var/named/ns2.mydomain.net.db"; };
I am confused about the ns1.mydomain.net and ns2.mydomain.net, surely these should be under one zone file mydomain.net.db? Can anyone please enlighhten me as to why WHM is creating the two zones seperately, or infact is creating as i believe subdomains?
I would like to run custom nameservers, but it says i only have 1 free ip. Do i need to purchase more ip addresses? When i goto 'Show or Delete Current IP Addresses' both my ip addresses are shown 90.90.90.90 and 90.90.90.91, but there is no delete button, it is only a list of the IPs in green.
Are there any fixes i can do, i dont understand why it is broken. How about resetting and performing a reinstall, where is the license file for WHM/cPanel stored, maybe i could move that out of the way, reinstall cPanel then re-register the license. Can i simply reinstall over the top and reset my settings to default?
I have a VPS hosting and have two IPs. Can I create multiple accounts using a shared IP in WHM?
I created but the page always showed failed
"Account Creation Status: failed (Your system has run out of avaiable ip addresses, or you do not have permission to use any more ip addresses. (Unable to find an ip address.) )"
I've just put all my own domains on their own server, away from my clients' domains.
I don't really want to go through 60 Cpanel accounts creating an email address for myself in each.
Is there a way to create a single pop account in each account? I seem to recall there's a way to change the default email address to fail: or blackhole: server-wide so I guess there'll be a way to create a mail account.
1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home" 2- data "backups" drive lost
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
4- " /old drive " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from " /old drive " to "home"
but data center said
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server.
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.
The server is displaying these errors when I tried to do an FSCK: Bad inode IO ext3-fs error (device(8,3)) IO Failure
I am having a new primary installed and old primary set as 2nd drive. I need to recover the cpanel domain accounts from this 2nd drive after I mount it with the method below:
mkdir /backup mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
However, how do I actually recover these accounts in an automated process via whm? I've done this before with the same matter (corrupt primary drive, mount as 2nd, etc) but cannot exactly remember the proper steps.
I just purchased a brand new 10K 150GB drive. How can I take an exact copy of my current drive and transfer everything over to the new drive? I think I need to create a snapshop, or mirror it somehow.
What software will do this? I was told trueimage, but its very pricy, is there anything else?
I have a dedicated box and I started getting Input/output errors today.
I tried: # fsck fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) /dev/hda2: recovering journal fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
then I tried: # fsck -a -t ext3 /dev/hda2 fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) /dev/hda2: recovering journal fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
My data is backed up, so was going to ask for a reimage, but is this an indication of bad hardware? Should I ask for a replacement drive? Is there anything else I should try on my own before going to the host?
"Create a zend id for your machine." This is apparently for them to create a product key for their software and have to bind to it?!
I have never heard of this and have been unable to locate any information on it.

I have a Win2K3 server which has 2 hard drives. I was considering backup options and I thought that I might try mirroring Drive A ==> Drive B. I would think that, then, if Drive A has a hardware failure, I could simply switch Drive B into the Primary slot (A) and the server would continue to hum along as nothing has happened. This would reduce the downtime, hopefully.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is this idea practical (will it work)? 2. What is a good software program to use fto handle the mirroring? 3. Any considerations, warnings, technical advice in regard to this method?
I signed up with cheapvps.co.uk a month ago, and I'm very happy with them . Now I'm looking for a very small VPS to host a secondary DNS server, and maybe a backup MX server.
It's just for personal use.
I think 5GB disk space would be enough, and I would like not to spend more than $10 USD/month. Do you know any VPS that suits my needs?
We need a secondary DNS for our cPanel server, as we want to have separate nameservers. What is the cheapest vps anyone knows that is hosted outside of Bluesquare House (UK). Global location isn't important.
I have a VPS with LXADMIN Hostinabox single server and want to use this VPS as a secondary/slave DNS server. My primary/master DNS is hosted elsewhere.
Does the LXADMIN Hostinanox interface facilitate the ability to setup the secondary zone?
I have searched for setting up automatic secondary DNS, but couldn't find anything, if I missed it, please post a link
I have 2 VPS's one running cPanel/WHM with about 15 low traffic sites on it. The other is a very slow spec VPS, hopefully just for DNS services.
I only have 1 domain server running currently, this is on the same server as the all the websites, what I want is a secondary DNS mirroring that of the DNS on my cPanel VPS, automaitically....
I was thinking of writting a little script to scp all the .db files in /var/named/ to my secondary server, then login to the secondary server and restart BIND?
What happens if your primary nameserver goes down? Meaning that it goes completely off the net, not even denying dns requests but completely ignoring them.
I'd guess that resolvers would query the secondary NS after a specified timeout, but what is that timeout set to? Does it differ from ISP to ISP? How much of a slowdown are we looking at for end users?
would it be possible to have my main box running apache, a second box for dns/other and an offsite secondary dns such as DNS1.PUBLIC-DNS.NET?
Is it possible to authenticate the primary and offsite secondary nameserver so the zone is transferred to the secondary? Would i need to pay for a special service, or do free ones exist? Are there any security implications with zone files being transferred out over the public internet, would a vpn need to be configured or can the process be encrypted via the transfer procedure?
Finally, how would this affect the way the entire virtual hosting works? I know when the nameserver on the host machine serves resolves a name request for a computer trying to browse the site in question, but when the actual http request goes to the web server does it incldue the domain it is looking at also?
