I have PSM and i just found out that even though they initiated my server they dont support GD on the initially installed apache 2.
I really need a simple solution like GD to create simple thumbnails about 4-5 times per day.
So PSM offered to downgrade the server to apache 1.X, i'm not sure this is right and needed to be done just to get simple GD functions.
I'm with fairly limited server management skills, thats why i have psm.
So i googled this topic and found out i can use Cpanel's builtin apache builder to rebuild the same web server with GD,
I got this error:

Restoring original working apache!
my heart went down to my pants, but the original web server was restored and working as usual...
I simply don't know what to do now, since this seems like a too complicated issue for a server newbie to fix, into getting GD to work with the current server would be great!
I've been working in this industry for 5 years now. Over the years, I've come to realize the little things that customers do that REALLY piss tech support off. This is a guide for customers for 10 things NOT do when contacting their host's technical support team.
This is a repost of what I already posted before the big catastrophe.
Please forgive the brutal honesty. It's for your own good.
1. One ticket per issue. Emailing your issue to Support, Sales, Billing, Abuse, the owner, each individual tech, and the mayor of your town is not going to get your ticket answered any quicker. Additionally, opening 2, 3, 4, or 10 tickets isn't going to get things done any faster. Seriously - all it will do is irritate the support guy
2. Contact the proper department If your account is suspended due to non-payment, or your account hasn't yet been setup, or you want to upgrade your account - please don't bother contacting support hoping it'll get done faster. All it will do is slow down their response time to customers that have actual support issues. Billing issues goto Billing. Sales issues goto Sales. Abuse issues goto abuse. Get the picture?
3. Contact support via ONE medium If you put in a support ticket, don't get on live chat and call too. Trust me - you'll get the same answer on live chat and the phone as you will in the ticket . Same goes for requesting "updates" on your ticket - if your ticket is in queue, wait patiently for a response. If you don't get a timely response, contact the management to complain.
4. Everyone thinks their ticket is CRITICAL Tech support reps realize that you think your issue is CRITICAL and must be dealt with IMMEDIATELY. But, guess what, so does everyone else that submitted their ticket before you. Your CRITICAL ticket will be answered in the order received after everyone else's CRITICAL ticket has been answered.
5. Do not try to "bump" your ticket Making continuous replies to your ticket in an event to get a faster response won't work. In fact, in most common helpdesk applications, each reply made rotates the ticket to the bottom of the queue. So really, by bumping your ticket, you're just making yourself wait longer. Not getting service fast enough? Contact the manager of the company!
6. Include all relevant information, but only relevant information Seriously - we don't care to hear your life story. Submit your ticket with your client ID, domain name, username, password, error messages, steps to reproduce, and other information directly pertinent to your issue. If your website is inaccessible, check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and include your local IP address (from www.whatismyip.com) and a traceroute. That will save you a reply.
7. Just because YOU can't see the website does NOT mean the server is down So please - don't come shouting at us claiming we're fraudsters and have horrible uptime and demand a credit. Most of the time you will find there is either a firewall issue or a routing issue - or scheduled maintenance. Check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and your host's forums before screaming at them.
8. Avoid live chat & phone support Unless you have a quick question, live chat and phone support are probably not going to be good avenues. Chances are, if your issue requires someone to login to the server to investigate, you're just going to be escalated to a support ticket. Instead of whining about how long the support ticket will take to get answered - just get it in queue. Figure if you spend 5-10 minutes on the phone only for them to tell you that you need to submit a ticket - that's 5-10 minutes that your ticket could have been looked into. Think about it. If you do call or chat - be brief - and keep in mind we have other customers to help.
9. We don't make the rules If you don't like a company's policies or procedures, don't complain to your support tech about it. They don't make the rules, they just follow them. If you want a change, contact the management of the company.
10. Do NOT disrespect or mistreat support people If you curse at us, disrespect us, or mistreat us in any way - you can almost be guaranteed that we won't be going out of our way to help you beyond the minimum. By polite, cordial, and courteous to your support tech and it will get you a LOT farther. We don't get paid enough to deal with people's abuse.
11 (Free bonus ). The amount of money you pay does not matter to us Seriously - the fact that you pay us $9.95/month does not matter to us. We're going to provide you with the same support that we provide somebody that's paying $3.95/month or $99.95/month. Don't expect better treatment based on the amount of money you pay.

There has been a recent rash of Windows 2003 customers being hacked and having "UTorrent" installed, as well as having their Administrator password changed, rendering the server inaccessible.
At the moment, we have yet to determine the vulnerability in Windows allowing the hackers to breach the systems however we believe it is related to RDP. We highly suggest you are complying with the following, to lessen your risk of having your server compromised:
1) Run RDP on a non-standard port [url]
2) Run a software firewall on your machine, blocking ALL unnecessary ports on your server. You should only have the bare minimum open.
3) Limit any non-public access to your IP and trusted IP's only. This will prevent any other outside networks or servers from reaching your machine through ports which are not meant to be public (http for example)
4) Ensure you have FULL updates for your Windows O/S, immediately.
5) Ensure any 3rd party software you are running, has also been fully updated to the latest version including any patches.
Please make sure these suggestions are implemented immediately to lessen you risk of being hacked by the current wave of exploits.
just recently upgraded from a fully managed VPS to a Dedicated Server. Everything seemed to be going fine, until I tried installing RoR. I have RubyGems installed and all that, but whenever I try to install Rails, the following happens.
I've read through a number of threads regarding installing GD. So sorry for yet another, but I just want to make sure that I'm doing this correctly.
As seen in the attachment below I'm presented with a few options:
Previously Saved Config (** DEFAULT **) Basic (If your previous build has failed, please use this option) No PHP PHP Encryption / E-commerce PHP Encryption and Image Manipulation PHP Image Manipulation PHP Security
Should I start by selecting the option "Previously Saved Config (** DEFAULT **)" and then "Start Customizing Based On Profile"? I've walked through the steps doing the above and have a question about the last section. Viewing the Exhaustive Options List shows GD as already checked yet towards the bottom I see a checkbox with the following (second attachment below): Quote:
Save my profile with appropriate PHP 5 options set so that it is compatible with cpphp
This option will make the following changes to your profile prior to the build: Enables:
CurlSSL FTP GD Gettext Iconv Imap Mbregex Mbstring Mysql Mysql of the system PGsql Sockets Zlib
Should I check to save and then click "Save and Build" to get GD installed?
Some additional information: I have downloaded my default profile. (lol Let's hope I don't have to use it because I wouldn't know where to begin!)
My php.ini file shows that GD is not installed or at least not compiled (if that's the right word to use). To clarify, GD is not in the list.
I have tried yum install pgp-gd and get the following:

Ive just installed PHP on my virtual server and am getting this error message:

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be/how it could be fixed? Full phpinfo can be found here: jlwalsh.net/phpinfo.php - if theres any other info I can send let me know.
I have Kevin Yank's book, and have followed the instructions (I thought) absolutely correctly.
most of it seems to be fine, but when I open up the very first page created (the "today.php" project!).. it says "module not found"..
take out the <%php bit... and rename it as an asp file (just to be sure my /localhost settings etc were ok) and it works fine. It's clearly a php install error.. Where do I start looking?
I did search on the forum but failed to find any related thread...
We have a managed VPS, and have never needed on our own dedicated servers in teh past to have FFMPEG due to the line of data we host. So, I asked our provider to please install FFMPEG onto our server.
This is the response I have received:
FFMpeg requires PHP to be compiled as CGI (PHPsuexec) that is only officially supported by cPanel. So in order to install FFMpeg modules we have to resetup your VPS with cPanel.
Now our VPS is running Direct Admin on CentOS.
I am not trying to poke holes at our provider, just trying to find out if this is the truth, or if there is a work around that can accomplish this.
I do not want CPANEL on our account. We have two unix techs here at work, however unfortunately they are both off for two weeks as of middle of last week, so i'm caught with who to look for to gain a second opinion.
I have installed a Apache server version 1.3.33 on windows XP and would like to enable mod_rewrite so i can rewrite my ugly url´s. How do I install this great feature in Apache so i can test it locally?
I had to reload my VPS cause I got hit with the LX admin exploit (Shocked cause the copy was over a year old)
But I'm not really server savvy, could someone possibly teach me the following.
How to install apache ftp mysql php
and how to secure the vps so it doesn't get hacked? Also is there any other free control panel to use? I'm really bad in shell, I can do basic stuff and if it's written in plain site I can easily do it. I've seen people here post these two,
ispCP sysCP
Both look pretty nice, which one would be better do you think? So if anyone could help me out with this that would be very nice and awesome of you. If I posted in the wrong thread mods please move it.
(I read the secure the VPS thread here already but my IP changes alot, the last 2 sets of numbers change daily)
I've got a customer who would like to have TomCat installed in his hosting account.
I've some question before doing it, it kindda scares me..
1- I have apache 1.3. 2- I don't want every child process of apache to have an additional 15MB.. 3- I don't know a lot about Java... Is it as easy as «port install» it in my FreeBSD?
Basically, I would really like to accomodate that customer but I also doesnt want to mess everything for a single customer.
I am installing dotnetpanel first time on vps.After installing the dotnetpanel Enterprise server when I check by 127.0.0.1:9002 it gives "service unavailable" error.
I successfully installed eAccelerator and its already working fine then I decided to update my PHP version which is 5.1.6 to 5.2.6 after the upgrade eAccelerator is no longer loaded I tried recompiling eAccelerator but to no avail it doesnt load anymore I double checked eaccelerator.ini and it was already set. Someone said that the phpize that was installed in my server is not compatible to PHP5.2.6 and it needs to be updated also but I cant seem to update it since it always says that it is already updated.
I recently installed ubuntu 7.10, and apache2. Both installed with no problems. In my browser i am able to type localhost, and i recieve the "It works" page. I can also start,stop and restart with no problems. However, I cannot install php5. I use synaptic package manager to install, and i added the appropriate lines to the httpd.conf file but i still cannot view .php files. I try to run a simple php page and a dialog box pops up prompting me to open or save the file. If i choose either, the box just pops up again.
I've got some problems with qmailtoaster in an openvz vps and centos 5.2.
At the "perl step" (wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php?title=CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install) I get a lot of errors about dependency that cpan tries to resolve but it fail.
Here it is the last part when it basically quit...
