DNS Trouble When Trying To Set Up Addons In CPanel Account
Jan 15, 2009
I'm trying another cpanel hosting service in addition to one with which I have a main domain and a bunch of addons. I'm used to being able to create the addon accounts regardless of whether I've already changed the ns for the domains being added yet. In the new service I'm trying, I am unable to to do that, but instead get an error message which appears online in various forum posts:
Quote:
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: exampleIP 1,example IP 2 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.
With the hosting service where I can always create the accounts any time, I use a secure login that contains my account ip: [url] I will only do secure logins, and not any unsecure http logins. The other hosting service where I am unable to create the addons does not appear to have that available for my normal account url or ip, at least it doesn't work when I've tried, but after searching I found out that you can get a secure login in another way, so I am able to securely log into my account using [url] but this is not the same as my account's IP or the normal shorter url for my regular unsecure login. I would guess that's the significant difference which allows me to create accounts any time in the first account vs. not at all in the second - that I'm using my account's normal ip for the one, but the longer-than-normal secure urls for the other (?), although I don't fully know how that would work.
There is however, one significant difference in the second account which I do not have in the first, and that is that I have SSH access in the second account. So, I am wondering if there is a simple method for using that SSH access to change a setting in my second account in such a way that I can have the same freedom to create addons there first and then attend to ns changes and so forth later when I'm ready? Especially is there a way to do this only once for the whole account, instead of having to do it for each and every addon? Thanks in advance to those who might really know the score on all this stuff and exactly what the best solution or solutions are.
if our host is experiencing technical problems, or if they're in financial collapse. Since 5 PM Sat., many sites hosted by powerfulhosting.com of Santa Monica have gone dead, mostly on NS01.POWERFULHOSTING.COM and some on NS1.IOCUS.COM They include:
and many more. Over the weekend, tech help claimed the problems were assocaited with an "upgrade" to a new server. As the site owners started talking to each other, and the outage grew into the work week, Powerful Hosting stopped responding to inquiries, even from longtime clients. Their phone mailboxes are full and silent.
Now, I'm not an administrator or even a very quick FTPer, but these stores have burned to the ground and there are are livelihoods on the line. Can anyone in this community find any evidence suggesting a geniune technical glitch on their servers? A couple of people in our group think maybe they can't pay a server bill, in which case we all need to bail out immediately.
This is probably a long shot, but is there a workaround way to be able to edit passwords for addon domains in cPanel 11? Apparently you can only manage redirection or remove: ...
I want to ask I have a client who has 2 Domains. The Client Does not want the second domain attached with the 1st Domain Name.
But the second domain is added on in cPanel.
So what I am saying is if you had google.com and a Addon Domain yahoo.com then a folder called yahoo.com will show in the clients /public_html/ folder.
Then this is accessible by [url]
How can I make this so it does not happen?
Or is the best way setting up a new cPanel Account?
I've had asmallorange for like 6 years now, was great host but lately uptime seemed to suffer a bit. Searching for some new one to try.
Could You recommend a cheap less than $5/mo shared hosting?
What I need:
highest uptime available, 99.8 or above would be great use more than 10 websites with them, addon domains feature. bandwidth above 1 gig, maybe above 5, not sure. support doesn't matter that much, cause I almost never ned to contact them, lol another thing I'd prefer is to use company's details in WHOIS info - that's really kind of important. Don't like Godaddy's $10 service. Just don't want to pay.
So I finally decided to upgrade apache from 1.3 to 2.2 and thought I'd upgrade php while I'm doing it. Everything isntalls ok and the php installer says it has configured apache etc but I just can't get it to parse php. It just loads a blank page!
I have a client trying to log in via ftp. They cannot log in and get this error.
[14:36:05] Resolving host name "www.domain.com" [14:36:05] Connecting to "IP ex 1.1.1.1" Port: 21 [14:36:06] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [14:36:06] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)... [14:36:06] Client closed the connection.
I restarted FTP and checked to see if apf was blocking them and neither worked. She is using smartftp and I also had her try filezilla and neither worked.
However I am able to log in fine from my pc using this login info.
This is returning all kinds of IP address results such as: 58.216.50.2 Can you suggest how I can tweak the grep command to search for the right IP addresses?
I want to scan precisely for IP addresses starting 216.2*.
We've been given the following information about spam, and want to track the source of it down:
216.2x.x.x - email spam
So any ideas how I can scan these logfiles more precisely for the IP address I need?
I was wondering, if installing ffmpeg-php is worth the trouble for shared hosting accounts or if it is too much of a resource hog. I had a couple of requests for that but I am not used to this extension.
We are in the process of changing web hosting companies and I am having difficulty in moving all the directories. We are a membership based company with over 8,900 members. The original web site (called Site a) has over 26,700 individual directories along with many tutorials in video format. The entire site is approximately 80 GB in size.
When I had the second web hosting company try to move the site via tar they indicated that the tar would abort at about 4 GB every time.
Is there any other way to move this site or get a complete backup of the site. I have no problem moving the MySQL databases.
I managed to install xcache on my Centos 4.5 server.
Xcache is shown in my phpinfo, but I think there's problem since php -v gives me following error, I don't have a clue how to fix this. See attached images. I tried several different configurations in xcache.ini, but all with this same result.
It seems that this error doens't occur always.
PHP Warning: Module 'XCache' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 /dev/zero: No space left on device Failed creating file mappping PHP Fatal error: Failed creating file mappping in Unknown on line 0 PHP Fatal error: XCache: Cannot create shm in Unknown on line 0 PHP 5.2.9 (cli) (built: Mar 10 2009 16:30:52) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies with XCache v1.2.2, Copyright (c) 2005-2007, by mOo Segmentation fault
I am having trouble setting up webdav on IIS6. I wasted all day on this today.
So far I have set it up to work over the internet with anonymous access.
Now I want to turn on:
1) basic authentication
2) SSL
I try to turn on (1) but:
- when try to access over the internet, it prompts for my login but it doesn't accept the login and keeps reprompting me.
- when I try to access from the local server, it seems to accept the login but gives an error 'the folder you entered does not appear to be valid, please choose another'
I have created a new user who has permission to access both the directory on the server and the virtual directory in IIS. I have turned on the webdav extension. I have tried reinstalling IIS too.
i am tring to setup my own nameservers for the past two days but couldn't get them to work.

iam getting the following error on the dns report. can anyone help me fix them......thanks aloot
Errror 1: FAIL: Lame nameservers ERROR: You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example, these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are lame: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx < -- my ips xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I noticed there is always notification to user account mail with account info but on all my servers on different networks notification comes only to server mail.How do i enable that?Do i need to install tweak to whm/cpanel?
I have a dedicated server with whm/cPanel centos 5, however I have an issue with retrieving files between 2 cpanel accounts.
One account is an ssl site [url]and the other cpanel account is [url] Now, the manager since it's on seperate account can't get the files and media stored locally on the other account due to account permissions.
Does anyone know how to hack whm/cpanel to give an account access to another folder in the home directory? I don't really want to give it full root access in case the account gets hacked.
I own a dedicated server and have 3 cpanel for each of my 3 sites in my WHM, I was wondering how much resource would each cpanel account use?
Reason I'm asking is because I have a couple of other sites i'd like to add to this server but I'm not sure if I should simply add them as domain add-on's in one of my current cpanel accounts or if it's ok to create another for each site without using up my server's resources.
