HOWTO Cron Job To Copy Files From Folder To Root
Feb 5, 2008
how to setup a cron job to copy files & directories from one folder to the root folder. I have CPanel X.
My root directory is public_html/
I have another directory public_html/uploads containing both files and directories.
I need a cron job that will copy all the files & directories from public_html/uploads to the root public_html/
If it helps, here is some system info

This one's pretty simple really, but given the fact that I'm constantly running into crond stops with CPanel servers (no clue why, or where, but it's happening), I'll post this here. If it helps someone, then great, if not, hey, no worries.
Firstly, login as root to your server through ssh, however you usually do .
Next, the script (we'll call it /bin/croncheck.sh). Use whatever editor you choose to create the file.
#!/bin/bash .......

Ok, new to Plesk, trying to move from ispconfig. So I have Plesk 12 running on Centos 6 64bit in a VPS. I figured out how to upgrade PHP and now I have installed my first website. The website is joomla based but I am getting the below error when installing components:
Warning
Copy failed.
JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/tmp/install_55081e65af5fe/pkg_kunena.xml to /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_kunena.xml
Package Install: Could not copy setup file.
This suggest to me a permissions issue - but what to do with it. I have checked all of the relevant Joomla folder permissions and they are all showing as writeable, so it looks like something outside of that?
I don't want to have to stick with ispconfig much longer ...

how I can create a cron job that runs every 10minutes or so to clear my /tmp folder on one of my servers?
Reason I ask is, it keeps getting filled up and doesn't delete the fiels in it and stops certain scripts from running.
Also, again, I need step by step instructions, such as:
1) what, where the file is I need to place the cron job in
2) what line of code would I put in that file (what does the cron job line look like for every 10min every day)
3) do I need to restart anything, and if so, what command do I run in shell?

I'm planning a website at the moment but I'm wondering about a slight issue, regarding the local root folder of a website.
Currently, I'm using Dreamweaver to create a website and I have had no problems of uploading my files to a site through Dreamweaver before. But I will not have access to my computer for about one month every year. However, I have a laptop available during that month. But since my local root folder is located on my stationary computer it seems impossible for me to, in any way, use that laptop to manage my site (upload new files to the server).

I was creating an Plesk extension and I need to edit root's crontab for the extension to work properly. While doing some experiment I understand that the Plesk extension works with the permission of psaadm . So I cannot use shell_exec to do this. Is there any api or cli interface where I will be able to do this. Is there any possibility to override the restriction of psaadm user through extension.

I use Webmin (1.69) to work on my development environment. I am using Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 right now. I am not exactly an Ubuntu newbie but I would not call myself an expert either.
I created a virtual host (newdomain.local) with webmin. I filled in all the fields and saved the new VH definition. I added newdomain.local to my hosts file with an ip address of 127.0.0.1 and restarted apache.
When I go to [URL] ...., it is not taking me to the VH's home page but to the default home page.
Why this might be happening?

I have tried copy files from Linux server to Windows Server using WinSCP3 and it was so fast.
I am not sure who to copy files as well from Windows to Windows with same speed. I tried to use RDC between the Windows Servers and share one drive. But it wasn't fast as WinSCP3.

What tool is there for me to copy a lots of file from one webhost (FTP site) to another webhost? Like in for migrating to another host.
I'm thinking of a tool where I can specify the FTP access information for both sites, and it would perform the copy without needing to store the files on my local hard disk first.

I rent windows dedicated server for just about a month, but I never had problem.
When I copy files on my home computer and then paste them onto server's drive, files begin copying, but after some time they stop copying and I hear double beep sound.
Time after which they stop copying is random.

I'm trying to use the "mysqldump" command to get a copy of all databases on the server...
but I need each database to go into a "databaseXYZ.tar.gz" file.
Does anyone know how to do this? So far, I can only get all the databases into a single file. But I need each database to have its own file.

To automate a task, I need to create a shell script that will allow me to copy the folder blank/ to a new location and rename it to news/, same for the files inside that directory. And, if possible, change the content of one of those files as well.
For example, I need to copy this:
Code:
blank/
templates/
frontend/
index.html
Blank.php
...to a new folder and rename it to this:
Code:
news/
templates/
frontend/
index.html
News.php

I have a new dedicated server and am trying to set up a cron job via CPanel on on of my accounts (we'll call it "abc" account).
In the Cron job area, where it asks for the command to run, I enter this:
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php
But when the job runs, it doesn't seem to be executing the .php file. Instead, I get stuff like this via email:
/home/acb/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 2: ////////////////////////////: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 3: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 4: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 5: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 6: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 7: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 8: //: is a directory
/home/abc/public_html/forum/class/sendnotice.php: line 9: //: is a directory
So it is as if the cron job is reading each line of the .php file instead of just running it. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the cron job to run that file or could it be a configuration issue with the new server?

My web host sets up public_html for http and public_ssl for https traffic.
So, if I want my whole site to be secure, I place everything in public_ssl.
However, I am using a shopping cart system inside a CMS.
I want only certain parts to be secure - e.g. the last stage of the checkout procedure.
At the moment, I can only achieve this by having two copies of the CMS/shopping cart, one in public_html and one in public_ssl.
Whilst this approach works (at least from the shopper's point of view), there are lots of problems from a content management point of view.
My host is of the opinion that "this is the only way it can be done".
Is it possible to enable ssl on public_html, have a single copy of the cms there, and then switch between secure and non-secure mode as needed?
If this is possible, can you provide me with a technical description of the setup that I can pass on to my host?
