I Broke Permissions Everywhere And The System Won't Boot
Jun 22, 2008
I backed a system up with rsync, and just used rsync to copy it into a new machine... I just backed up / to my home directory on another machine, and then 'extracted' it to / on the new machine.
But now everything (and I mean everything) is owned by "matt", my user on the intermediate machine. I rebooted the system to get it to boot the new stuff without realizing this, and now it's not booting... Since /etc/passwd, /bin/bash, etc. aren't owned by root.
Any tips on where to go from here? As I said, it's a brand-new machine (VM, actually: even better!), so re-imaging is a solution, but I'd still have to copy the data back over. Reinstalling is a pain, though, so if there's a simple fix, I'd prefer that. I've got pygrub installed as a boot manager for the VM, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get into single-user mode. (Nor am I sure that a "cd /; chown -R root" will have the desired effect?)

I have a dedicated server and till few days back i was able to edit my files fine but this morning when i am trying to edit any file, it gives me back this error:
[user@domainname theme]$ chmod 777 header.php
chmod: changing permissions of `header.php': Read-only file system
[user@domainname theme]$
[root@domainname theme]$ chmod 777 directoryy
chmod: changing permissions of `directoryy': Read-only file system
[root@domainname theme]$
I tried both as normal user and root and same results. Do you think the hosting guys changed the permissions of the file system or something?

I have just used rsync to backup a dedicated server to a new cloud server. I put the files in a plesk webspace 'Backup' folder for ease of use (gui). In File Manager for that webspace it shows the folder user and group as root, which is obviously correct as rsync maintains users etc?
Thats fine, I just wanted to be able to back them up along with the rest of the server configuration and content.
However, when I run backup it says "For security reasons, backing up is performed on behalf of subscription's system user. This system user has no read access to:" and "So it was not backed up. All other data was backed up successfully. To fix this issue you may grant access read/write to the file or directory for system user "(username)" or "apache"."
I don't know how to give read/write access to the system user? Through file manager there is no option to change permissions.

suphp and spent the better part of the day configuring a new server and then upgrading it to suphp in preparation for a migration next week.
However, I broke the links to var/www/html in the process and I don't know at what point it broke to know how to fix it.
I have a couple of links that usually work to this directory:
lax.powermonster.net/test.bin
and
[url]
Both of which now come up to a 404 error from my main site: powermonster.net.

I logged into my email to check for my nightly logwatch report (at 12am).
Nothing.
So I log into ssh and manually run it, get greeted with this:
You have old files in your logwatch tmpdir (/var/cache/logwatch):
logwatch.zcTV3hC0
The directories listed above were most likely created by a
logwatch run that failed to complete successfully. If so, you
may delete these directories.
I last ran logwatch around 10:30pm, it worked fine.
I try to run logwatch again, same error.. except now there's another temp file showing beneath the first.
I go ahead and delete both of them, run logwatch again...it worked. I also got the other reports from when I tried running logwatch manually and was stopped with this error.
I've never had this happen before, so I'm curious as to what caused it? Logwatch is in cron.daily and has never missed a single report.
Just typical data corruption (as can happen with any computer file) or could something have interfered with its processing at 12?

I ran Hijack this and fixed a few errors it listed in a Windows 2003 Server. I rebooted the server, but now when I attempt to login via remote desktop it logs in, but then immediately logs me out.
I am guessing HiJackThis deleted a required dll or .exe needed for Terminal Services. Do you guys have any idea how I can restore this, and undo what hijackthis did?

I searched the forum, couldn't find this issue. One user cannot log into their horde. They said they just kept being taken back to the login page.
So I got their cpanel login and logged in myself. The same thing happened to me when I tried to get into horde.
I use webmail on the same server and don't have that issue in my own account, and I haven't received any other complaints.
I repaired horde database, reset horde, and updated horde. None of those fixed the issue. what is wrong with this one account?

I just ran a simple yum update php on the server, because I need to be running 5.2 instead of 5.1.6
The update went smoothly, so I restarted httpd, and all hell broke loose. Apache can't start because of a whole lot of missing modules. So I commented out every single LoadModule line to see if that would get it to start, and it started complaining about the configuration file of some other software being incorrect (because that configuration file pointed to some module that no longer exists)
At one point I was able to get apache to start, I believe by copying my old configuration file to httpd.conf and then commenting out some lines that it was complaining about. Apache started, but no pages were loading.
So right now, basically, I've got no web service running at all on the server. I really didn't expect all of these problems for a simple PHP update, but obviously I was mistaken.
Is it worth trying to fix this myself (intermediate linux user here) or would it just be easier to hire someone to come in and do it for me?

According to de Plesk Administrator Guide and according to the kb article: [URL] ...., Plesk Panel is suitable to enable multiple php versions After I performed the steps mentioned in the kb article, all seemed fine until somehow php-cgi and php-fcgi broke down after
Code:
# service httpd restart
After this event, all websites hosted on this particular the server only work running php as an apache module.
I am running Pleks Panel 12.0.18 #7 on top of CenOs 6.5 on this particular server, which means php version 5.3.3 is installed by default. PHP 5.3.3 also is was the php version for the "custom: false" php handlers (id's: cgi, fastcgi, module). Somehow all php handlers look like this:
Code:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler --list
id: display name: full version: version: type: cgi-bin: php-cli: php.ini: custom:
cgi 5.5.13 5.5.13 5.5 cgi /usr/bin/php-cgi /etc/php.ini false
fastcgi 5.5.13 5.5.13 5.5 fastcgi /usr/bin/php-cgi /etc/php.ini false
[Code]....

servage.net is Broke down?... NO Dummy! They just changed their business to be SCAM
I am writing this to just let other friends here to be aware of this scam, they used to be host providers and now they've just become SCAM.
So my experience story goes like this:
Some days ago I ordered a 6month plan and paid by VCC, And got an email from them saying that my order is declined due to VCC not charged so I checked the balance of VCC and just knew that my poor little VCC is charged 45$ by this Green Giant named servage, So I let them know asap, I emailed back and told them to re-check and now it is days (5 days actually) that I am sending daily mails to Mr.Servage Scam and All I've gotten to now is nothing (actualy they don't respond anymore) wish they be alive at least (is it war or something running in their country? )
I really got disappointed at them I thought that since they have been in business for some time they can be reliable (at least at selling), However I just wrote back in here to let others know that servage.net is actually broke down or at least changed his hosting business to become a fast reliable scam (perhaps more profitable, who knows?)
All I wanted was a simple sweat hosting plan for my friend.
BTW If any of servage.net staff is here: Hey man that's not necessary to do illegal actions! Let's face it you need money? right? OK just put a donation button in the homepage and take my word on this always some good people exist out there to donate some bucks to you ( I will donate you too ), just don't be like this, this is shame.
I'm thinking over filling a dispute against them right now. Who know perhaps some days they respond back (At least I can re-check my email every day till next 50 years)

when I try to go to a site of mine with the www like this one [url] It won't work but if I take out the www like this[url]it does work.
I'm not sure what could be causing this. As far as I'm aware everything is setup okay. I understand it's impossible for anyone who reads this to properly diagnose the issue without access to my server.

I've got the latest grsec stable, but i'm having a problem with getting ip_conntrack working.
I did the following with make menuconfig after copying my default kernels config file...
Networking -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering
framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter -> Configuration -> Netfilter Xtables support
(required for ip_tables) -> "conntrack" connection tracking match support.
After a compile and reboot:

I've got a small box running as a fileserver with CentOS 5. Sometimes life is a little easier using a GUI for jobs rather than SSH.
As this is not accessible externally, I've got it to autologin to a non-privilaged user, and as part of that logon a VNC session is opened using the inbuilt remote desktop tool.
This was working perfectly, until I realised if I cold boot the server without a monitor attached, X11 wont start at all unless I attach a monitor to it.
I know I can start a VNC session from using vncserver, but this way allows me to logon to the server as if I was sat infront of it, rather than running an extra session.
Presumabley I can add something into /etc/X11/xorg.conf so X11 will start without a monitor hooked up?

So this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works

One of my customers has been having a problem with his index files not showing up. It'll display the parent directory, and you can clearly see the index.html file in there, but it won't show it as the index.
It happened in one directory, and I went into .htaccess and did DirectoryIndex index.php.... but now i'm wondering if its part of a bigger problem, because its happening to other folders now.

I built a web hosting server, the following is its state
Cent os 5
AMP server loaded updated (installed it as a complete suite during installation so it was all set to go with php mysql modules loaded)
webmin
usermin virtualmin
created 2 named based hosts.
now when i load up wordpress in a site and try to run install.php
the following pops up
"Sorry, I can't write to the directory. You'll have to either change the permissions on your WordPress directory or create your wp-config.php manually."
I had this issue before and research said to redo the entire server (tried everything and was fed up had fedora then"
you can have a look at www.itgrunts.com just click create config file and the errror pops up.
The php and mysql db work great on simple scripts but i dont know why this happens.
i worked with assigning the users and apache user to the directory and everything, no joy.

I've supposedly set APF firewall to start at boot time, by doing something like:
chkconfig --levels 2345 apf on
However i have my reservations to weather it is actually starting, its set to block port 80, after boot if i try and access it, the connection will get refused straight away, however if i go and manually start APF then try and access again, it will take a while, like its ignoring the connection attempt (which is good).
How could I check if APF is actually running?
