Which Files In /var Are Safe To Delete

May 5, 2007

I have WHM 11.1.0 cPanel 11.2.1-C11635
FEDORA 4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

My /var partition is over 64% full. 2 directories in there show a lot of space being used.

One of these is /var/lib/mysql
du -h --max-depth=1 #
shows user accounts on the server with their database names. Are these just logs, or are they the actual databases? (Probably dumb newbie question)

The other big one is /var/log/munin Is there anything there I can delete?

Delete Some Specific Files From All Subdirectories

Jan 4, 2007

Useful unix-command trick to quickly remove i.e. Thumbs.db files, WS_FTP.LOG files or *.fla files, recursively through directories.

It could be a real pain on a huge directory tree ;-)

Removing all *.fla files from /home/user/ and subdirectories...

Code:
# find /home/user/ -name *.fla -ok rm {} ;
Removing all WS_FTP.LOG files from /home/user and subdirectories...

Code:
# find /home/user -name WS_FTP.LOG -ok rm {} ;
Removing all Thumbs.db files from /home/user and subdirectories...

Code:
find /home/user -name Thumbs.db -ok rm -f {} ;

Can't Delete Files From CPanel Server

May 11, 2007

I've been using CPanel for a few years now and I've encountered an error that I have no clue how to fix it. Basically the files have been with me for the last two or three years and I've changed them from server to server. I'd say these files have been through about four or five servers. The funny thing is I can't delete any of these files. The files are in a folder under public_html and I can't delete the folder or any of the files or folders inside of that folder. I've tried through FTP and through CPanel.

The FTP error I get (I'm using WS_FTP Pro) is:

# transferred 4277 bytes in 0.063 seconds, 534.625 Kbps ( 66.828 Kbps), transfer succeeded.
226-Options: -a -l
226 58

The CPanel error I get (through File Manager) is:

[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

and under the trash can in File Manager:

Unable to change directory to /home/mydirectory/.trash! You do not seem to have access permissions! (System Error: Permission denied)

I even CHMODed all of the files to 777. I don't know how to get rid of these old files, how do I do it? I also have root to the server if that helps.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Delete Subdomain Without Removing Files Or Database?

Aug 30, 2014

I cannot seem to find a conclusive answer to this. I use subdomains to create client websites then once they are in their own domains the subdomains still remain. Can I delete only the subdomain and leave all the files or at least leave the database since it is still connected to the new domain. Example below.

subdomain.example.com uses database1

newsite.com still uses database1

Is there a way to copy the database into the new domain?

How NOT To Require CHMOD 755 Permissions To Create, Write And Delete Files On Linux

Dec 30, 2008

On my previous server and on some other hosts, I was able to write to files (for example with PHP) without having to chmod the files first.

Now I cannot, and files are required to be chmoded properly so I can write to them.

I cannot even touch() a file with PHP.

Is there any way to have this permissions removed?

I don't want to chmod the all thing, all I want is to change the configurations so I can fwrite() or file_put_contents() normally.

I's a dedicated un-managed server, so basically any advanced configurations can be done.

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Remove Domain Alias Warns It Will Delete All Related Files

Sep 2, 2013

I think the wrong text is displayed for the option "Remove Domain Alias".

In Plesk 11.5.30 Update #13, in a Webspace, on the Websites & Domains tab, if I click an alias, a window appears for the alias with the option to "Remove Domain Alias". If I move the cursor over the text "Remove Domain Alias", or click on the link, I see a pop-up: Removing this website will also delete all related files, directories, and web applications from the server.

I think this is incorrect because removing an alias should not remove any files, directories, and web applications.

Transferring 200 Files : Total Files Size Is 25 GB!

Jan 2, 2008

I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.

God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!

So...

Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)

200 odd files which total to 25 GB

1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)

I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.

/var/log/mysql - Can I Delete It

Jul 22, 2007

Question: Is it safe to delete the files in /var/log/mysql ? Also, is there some way I can disable logging so that this folder does not get filled up again?

Explanation:

Last night I started running a Perl script to process the data contained in some files, and then do a series of INSERTs to put them in a MySQL database. When I checked on it this morning, I found that it was very close to being done, but had locked up. I had trouble doing anything at all, actually, until I realized that 100% of the disk space on my hard drive had now been used. I went to investigate, and I quickly realized that my /var/log/mysql folder was over 120GB!

My intuition tells me that this folder is just used to store logs of what MySQL is doing. However, I have no need for these logs, and seeing as they are (unnecessarily) using over 120GB of my hard drive space, I would like to delete everything in that folder. But I'm still fairly new to Linux, and I'm not sure if this is safe. Can I just delete these files? And also, to prevent this from happening again, is there some way I can disable MySQL from creating such enormous log files?
