I bought domain name and web hosting from a company. Now the problem is that the company from which I booked domain and hosting doesn't exist.
Initially the hosting company sent me only FTP and mail server details. Now I need the cPanel details to configure database. So kindly request all of you to suggest me some solutions through which I can get the cPanel details.

Server Load 3.94 (4 cpus)
Memory Used 18.5 %
Swap Used 0 %
Disk /dev/md1 (/) 24 %
Disk /dev/md2 (/tmp) 3 %
Disk /dev/md3 (/home) 97 %
Disk /dev/md4 (/usr) 40 %
Disk /dev/md5 (/var) 75 %
Disk /dev/md0 (/boot) 30 %
Server load and Disk /dev/md3 (/home) are showing red dots.
to understand this page on cPanel. I can imagine that red dots are not a good thing while the green ones are, but I don't know what it all means or if I should be complaining about this to my host...
As I have never used cPanel neither have whatsoever experience with control panels, in the process of ordering a couple of new server I am wondering what's the average recovery time after a server failure which involves data (ie. disk failure).
I am interested to understand this, because I need to choose between hardware raid or backup disk.
For example, at LiquidWeb (this is just one of the many managed providers i am evaluating) you can pay the same server 264$ with 2x250 hardware raid 1, and 219$ with 2x250 simple hard drives, where the second one is supposed to be a backup drive.
I am yet to ask, but on this servers most likely (at this prices) they do not have hot swappable disk drives where they can rebuild the array "live", so also if i choose raid hardware, in case of a disk failure, i face a downtime to bring down the server, rebuild the array, bring on the server, which I guess is something not less than 30-60 minutes downtime.
The advantage of this solution is that a disk failure keeps the system running, so you can schedule a maintenance window to replace the disk and rebuild the array, I guess.
On the other side, relying on a backup disk (and of course rsyncing data to an offsite server, i would do this anyway) you save 45$ each month, and disks after all do not fail every month.
If the main disk fails, they need to replace the disk, install again the server with what I suppose being a standard image (so let's figure a couple of hours, as they have a 30min hardware replacement sla), then you need to restore backups (which in my case are something like 20gigs). So I guess, on an average, it would take something like 4 hours downtime.
Am I correct ?
What would you reccomend as a solution with cpanel, taking into account the huge price difference ? Backup drive or Hardware raid ?
This would be for a single big website, not a hosting-company with resellers and customers environment, so I would value more the monthly saving, rather than the high availability, but of course I am interested to know what is the average time to recover a cpanel server after a drive failure.
Besides I have also another question, as I have never had a colocated server with raid hardware, so i do not know anything about this.
When a drive fails in a raid1 hardware environment, how the hosting provider gets notified ? I suppose it's not a led on the server to blink, as no one would see it.
So if you have software raid (like my computer at home) you get an email from mdadm with "warning, array degraded", so you know it quick and you can check it anytime doing a ' cat /proc/mdstat '. What about hardware raid?
My fear is that nobody notices my raid1 drive failure, the server keeps going on just a drive, then maybe the other drive fails, and it would be unpleasant: while a single drive failure would be obviously very easy to spot for me.
Q. I've a dedicated server and I'd like to find out my servers details [CPU, RAM, HDD] etc. How?
Q. My server comes with two HDDs. How do I access them through the WHM or cPanel?
My friend can easily run a host command in unix to find information about a domain such as it's mail server, ip address etc.
how I can duplicate this functionaility in a windows environment?
How do you get the file size/details of a file through ssh?

I've got a dedicated server running my portal. Now we plan to soon launch broadcasting, where we via a webcam + microphone will broadcast (streaming WMV media) to all our members. Our members will then be able to interact with the speakers via chatting.
Now we are currently undergoing loadtesting, with our current setup, which is:
1. dedicated server+ultrafast connection=>chatting
2. home PC with static IP and 1 MBit upload=>Video+Audio Streaming
So the member requests a page from the dedicated server, which has a chat window and a windows media player. The player will retrieve the video/audio content from the home PC. This is done by the client.
Now is pretty logical to see that there will be limitations in how many connections the home pc will be able to handle.
The question is: How do i make the dedicated server get the content from the home pc (so it only serves one connection) and then get all the clients to get their video content from the dedicated server ?
I've looked into the proxy modules for the apache server, however they (forward/reverse proxy) both passes the connection on to the remote machine and thereby not doing what I want to do.
I'm facing the task of migrating nearly 200 domains from 11.5 to a new server running 12. My question is whether any way to pre-populate the
FTP repository : hostname / username / password
Schedule : to daily / specify time / untick suspend domain
This would massively speed up the move, and remove the monotony of retyping these over and over!
im doing this in favor of my friend who is having some problem with his dedicated server,"he does not speak english very well" he has a unmanaged dedicated server he changed something on his ssh port and forgot what port is it, he can still access his WHM right now, meaning he know's the root password "correct" but the problem is he forgot his ssh port

View 4 Replies View RelatedI deleted one of our databases from PLESK in mistake, now how can I recover that database ? my backup is very old and I cannot use backup file.
this is urgent , I'm in bad situation please help me.
my server is Linux.

I don't know this article can help me or not
I had an issue with limestonenetworks over the last 24 hours. My 2 servers went down for 12 hours but when it came back up the separate mysql server would not load?? Somehow the hard drive on that server failed during this upgrade and they cannot retrieve the databases on the server. A database containing over 60,000 members. Through my own undoing I didnt have a recent backup. A cpanel backup was backing up the same old file instead of the updated one.
I would have been happy if the site came back and at least the data was still there. Im just upset that this "network upgrade" has fried my database. From this I get the lesson "You get what you pay for". Im just keeping my fingers crossed that they will be kind enough to make a serious attempt to recover the data or at least let me send it to someone who can.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get retrieve data from a linux server hard-drive?
Here are the steps that have been taken so far:
Upon console of the server it was at DISK BOOT FAILURE prompt. We first did the basics and disconnected the server and made sure all connections to the hard disk and motherboard were secure. Upon reboot we checked to see if the BIOS detected the drive which it did. The server still reported disk boot failure. We then rebooted back into the BIOS to make sure the BIOS was set not skipping the hard drive in the boot process.
It was not.
The "recovery tools" we ran was just a basic linux live cd to see if we could get the hard drive detected inside of an operating system. It would not even detect the disk in the machine. We did not perform anything on the drive to cause it to fail. I spoke directly to my manager who was supervising the move and I was told that all servers were shut down cleanly as well as moved safely and securely.
The hard disk is still detected by the BIOS but the hard disk certainly has some internal issues as you can hear a constant buzzing and clicking during POST and after.
I had a server with XX datacenter. They've formatted my server and I MUST recover files immediately..
Server is running centOS 5.x and it has been formatted + rebooted 2-3 times.
How can I rescue files now?
I vaguley remembering changing a password to one of my domains that I hardly ever use, and as a result, I'm locked out of it both via ftp and cpanel (i can still get to it via whm logged in as root)
is there any way to recover the password? I have full access to the box.
my freebsd server suffered power outage and now at boot it shows
BIOS installed successfully!
strike F1 to continue, strike F2 to go to setup utility.
FreeBSD installed
Default 0,a (o.a)boot loaded
Boot:
But that is it, it does not respond to ping or ssh?
Database Recover from Backups costs $30 from aspnix.com.
Is that price fair for that service?
I have a crashed HD that I want to recover the data. I wonder if there is any method or software out there that can do this for me.
The hard drive is installed with centos and uses ext3 filesystem.
I have tried doing a mount, not if it is done correctly, but I only see "lost+found" on the hard drive.
Usually when this happens on my hard drive w/ windows, I use some data recovery software to extract the data. I don't know which software will do this for me on an ext3 filesystem running centos.
A life-saver for naive admins who have inadvertently deleted files and are groping in the dark for help.

I am putting this thread to take other people advise and to advise them about my bad experience with rsync. Lucky, I was able to get my data back through the old drive
Three times a day, I take mysqldump and then rsync that mysql dump to a drive located in a different state.
Everything was working fine..The rsync was transferring data daily and updating the backup on other server. Few days ago, there was a hard drive failure on my server and then i checked in my backup drive for mysql dump...It was 764 bytes instead of 5 Gb...
Then i went to my other server where I rsync, to my surprise that was also 764 bytes from 5 Gb as it synced the both database..
My backup strategy failed and would be in tears if I couldn't grap data from failed drive
I would like to hear everyone views on this and learn from it
