fix some DNS errors for the shared IP on the server. Noramlly inside cPanel, we would edit zone file for each domain. How do we make DNS changes for the IP address used as the shared IP on the server?
View 7 RepliesI have a dedicated server that is running apache and exim. While they're running from the same IP, I want the domain names to be www.mydomain.com for http and mail.mydomain.com for SMTP.
What I've done so far is set up A records for *.mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com to point to the same IP address.
My MX record points to mail.mydomain.com.
My exim primary_hostname is configured as mail.mydomain.com.
Now I'm trying to get the PTR record set correctly so that outbound email doesnt get trapped by spam filters. So in this case should my PTR record point my IP to mail.mydomain.com and not mydomain.com or does it not matter?
Is it strange that an RDNS lookup to the primary IP would return my mail server like that?
Used chirpy's method

i need to modify a domain name in plesk. is that possible without having to recreate the account or losing the info?
for example from [url]to [url]
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975 Dec 22 2006 .bash_profile
root@server [~]# rm -f .bash_profile
rm: cannot remove `.bash_profile': Operation not permitted
root@server [~]# chmod +t .bash_profile
chmod: changing permissions of `.bash_profile': Operation not permitted
I simply wanted to modify something within the file but I keep getting permission errors. I'm logged in as root.
On the server (linux, cpanel), we have global registers set to off. Some scripts require them on. What's the most secure way to allow customers to do their own settings for their own domains and bypass the main server php.ini settings?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated box with softlayer and I have noticed at varying times the past few months that with sites we host, sometimes the connection times out (I'll try to access like 5 or 6 sites within 30 seconds or so and they all drop, then a minute later they load fine).
I opened a support ticket and they said it usually has to do with the # of requests Apache can handle, and that this can be modified. They stated they could: "tweak the apache configuration file in this server that can make it possible to handle more requests."
So my question is what should the # of requests be set to? (I'm not sure what it is now, but I assume whatever the default # is).
I've just run upon a problem while trying to go into my phpMyadmin from within my MySQL Databases icon.
When I try to log into phpMyadmin I get this message:
Quote:
"This feature is not available while logged in with root override. You are logged in with the root, or reseller's password. Please login with this user's account password."
Also, as soon as I log into cPanel I receive a red "Warning: You are logged in using the reseller or root password." Yes, I am logging into the only account I have.
When logging in with the initial account I created I can view the MySQL dbs that I have created, but I don't have access to phpMyadmin - I get that error message. This is new because for the last two weeks - about as long as I've had this server - I have had no problem even signing in with the same user id and password. Suddenly it won't let me in.
So what do I need to do?
I created a new account, but I can't see my MySQL dbs with that new account.
I don't know how to modify my one existing account so that I can access phpMyadmin.
Any thoughts? I hope I've been clear.
I have WHM and Cpanel on my dedicated server. Is there a way to give them access to change this? I dont want then to have access to everything either.

What exact file to modify in order to optimize fastcgi settings, then to set default for all websites. Sample code below:
# execute all .php files via php-fpm
location ~ .php$ {
# connect to a unix domain-socket:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;

Applying Plesk firewall changes? I make my change, apply and get to:
Status: Applying in progress. If your browser shows connection error messages, or if this screen does not disappear in more than 30 seconds, go to previous page.
And there things stay. Going back to look at the firewall I can see the change haven't been applied, and going to apply just results in the same. No error, just no anything. It also took numerous attempts to get firewall modification to be swtich on although finally at about the eighth attempt changes were enabled. Only now I can't apply them ...
We cant' modify any files of my website in WordPress that contain user www-data.

i want to modify a conf file using commandline or a shell script. for eaxmple:
here is a line from my conf file:....
When a domain name is pointing to our server and the account is not setup yet, there's a default page that says:"

Great Success!
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server
If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.
How can I modify that page ONLY for ROOT accounts and not my resellers?
I am unable to disable or modify the firewall by using the plesk firewall extention. Plesk throw the two errors below:

i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...
my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record
can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?
this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator
Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.
We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.
Our setup is like so:
User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.
Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com
Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.
how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..
What is A Record? and What is MX Record?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.
But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?
Quote:
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
or
Quote:
v=spf1 a mx ~all
If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?
I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]
I need to update the TTL for the domain as i will need to migrate it to another IP. In my DNS record, there is a domain level TTL and also a record level (MX, A, CNAME) TTL. Which one should i change?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf my SPF record would be the following: domain.com. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:78.129.143.155 a mx a:.mail.saunalahti.fi -all"
Would mail sent from whatever@domain.com get sent through gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi (Would the SPF record allow it?) or would I have to specify a:gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi in the SPF record?
Am trying to implement an SPF Record on my server to avoid my email going to junk folders.
I alredy create one but how do i input the info to my TXT record?
where is that file on the server?
Currently we use a short SPF record that is inserted to the customers DNS file when the account is created....
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
I was wondering do you guys/gals have a standard SPF record, one that is tested and works or do you think the above entry is sufficent?
Here is my SPF record, but sending email I get this in the header
@ 86400 IN txt v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all
