SSH Keys
Dec 24, 2007I'm having a problem with SSH keys (they don't work out of the box correct with cPanel) I bilieve the error is in my sshd_conf, but if someone could assist me with what settings that should be uncommented that would be helpful.
Anyways, just some history of what I did so far:
Generated a passphraseless key within Server(A1). Took the public key (not the private, left the privat on the server itself) and transferred it to a file authorized_keys on Server(B2).
Chmod that file to 600. Then ran the following command:
ssh -v -i /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -p 1234 root@xxx.i.p.xxx
First I still get asked for a passphrase (which is wierd since it's suppose to be passphraseless), then when I just press enter (to signify that there is no passphrase), I get the following error:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).

Mar 9, 2008Has anyone used managemybox.com?
If so, what do you think of their service/reliability. I see they have neither a live support or phone number or maybe I missed it, so what do you think of their response time and support?
Also, those who have heard things are welcome to post too even if you haven't used their service.

Struggling To Setup SCP Between To VPS's With SSH Keys
May 15, 2008I had previously had this working. However, I changed the second VPS and now I can't remember how I set it up.
I will call it SourceVPS and BackupVPS.
I am trying to setup SSH keys to allow me to SCP backups from the sourceVPS to the backupVPS.
The SCP command I am trying to run on the SourceVPS is:
Code:
scp -i /root/.ssh/VPS_root_access_key -pr /root/movetest.txt root@server.BackupVPS.com:/backup/
Previously, I had the SSH keys between the SourceVPS and BackupVPS so the above command would move a file from one to the other (instead of movetest.txt, that is normally the name of the backup file being moved).
Can someone walk me through the steps for setting up the SSH keys? I am on Cpanel/WHM and Centos 4.6
Tutorial To Use SSH Keys Instead Of Password
Jan 19, 2008A Short tutorial to use SSH keys instead of plain password to login.
1. Logon to WHM and goto Main >> Security >> Security Center
2. Under "SSH Password Auth Tweak" and disable the Password Authentication.
3. Under "Manage SSH Keys" click on Generate new key.
4. Give a Key name and Generate a good password (remember it). Choose KeyType as DSA since it's more secure than RSA.
5. Once done, you will see a pair of public private keys. Authorize the public key to connect.
6. View/Download the private key to your system. If you're using putty it can also generate in relevant format.
7. Save the key in a secure place in your local system and chmod to 600 so that no one can read it.
8. Next, connect to your server:
Code:
root@localhost ~]# ssh -i /path-to-file/file.key root@server.ip.address
It should ask for the password, if you have used in step 4.

Jul 3, 2009I have one domain from one very small country for example - mydomain.xxx . The problem is that this domain doesn’t have DNS management with its registrar.
But I need to create web portal (like yahoo but small) and I need to do these:
mydomain.xxx put on IP 111.111.111.111
news.mydomain.xxx put on IP 222.222.222.222
shopping.mydomain.xxx put on IP 333.333.333.333
game.mydomain.xxx put on IP 444.444.444.444
sport. mydomain.xxx put on IP 555.555.555.555
music. mydomain.xxx put on IP 777.777.777.777
Now my question:
Can cPanel do this DNS management? If yes, how cPanal do it?
What other control panel than cPanel can do this DNS management better?
Can I do this type of DNS management with share hosting or must I have reseller hosting, VPS or Dedicated Server?
Additionally to above questions, what free DNS management service like zoneedit.com, easydns.com, dnsexit.com, everydns.com, etc. is better for this purpose ?

How To Manage Your Own Servers
Aug 17, 2007I have some servers and I need them because of the type of applications I host, but with all honesty, I have to say that I don't even closely have enough knowledge to troubleshoot Apache, MySQL, PHP, Linux, etc... issues when they arise.
I could get managed servers, but they cost a fortune compared to the self-managed ones and I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend that type of money in order to have someone else look after my servers. In fact...it will be great to know exactly what is going on with my own servers.
So...in short, the question is. How do I learn more? Do you know of any good blogs, forums, newsletters or anything related where I can read more about server management in general on a daily basis? Just about anything related to remote, dedicated linux servers.
I've learnt a large amount in a short time already, but I feel that I need to pick up the pace and put more effort into gaining more knowledge. Please help me by suggesting some resources.
RSync W/ Windows- With SSH Keys & BQBackup
Jul 22, 2008TLDR version:
when populating and attempting to write keys to authorized_keys I'm receiving the following error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'
Long version:
I've been grinding my wheels with this for a long time now. Basically I'm attempting to get rsync set up to backup some data directories on my Windows 2k3 Server through a batch file with task scheduler to bqbackup. I've been back and forth with both Scott and Rsync.net's tech support about this issue - both of which have been great... but essentially keep hitting the same impasse with Scott appearing to have hung his hat stating he's not familiar enough with windows and rysnc.net telling me to wait for their GUI client that should be launching "soon." In the meantime I'm just running the backup manually until I can get this key issue figured out.
Here's what's going on:
I've been mainly using BQ's Guide and Rsync's Guide to try and accomplish this.
After executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ''
I receive the following message:
Quote:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa):
If I accept the default value it gives me I receive this error:
Quote:
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
Open /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa failed: Not a directory.
Saving the key failed: /home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa.
Now my thoughts were this was occurring because my %homepath% is actually:
Quote:
c:documents and settingsadministrator.DOMAIN
(DOMAIN replacing actual text)
I'm able to change the default path location and create the RSA file elsewhere using the cygdrive format... so when prompted for the path to save I instead input:
Quote:
/cydrive/c/docume~1/administrator.DOMAIN/
and am able to create the RSA file... so mission accomplished... so far, I believe I'm past this, the snafu is now occurring on writing these keys to the authorized_keys file on BQBackup...
Quote:
C:Program FilescwRsyncin>rsync -av "/cydrive/c/documents and
settings/administrator.DOMAIN/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
<login>@<host>:.ssh/authorized_keys
Could not create directory '/home/Administrator/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '<host> (<ip>)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 18:02:d9:95:06:a9:70:74:86:b7:76:41:f6:71:a0:a4.
(<login>@<host> replacing actual login & host... it's definitely connecting)
That pesky '/home/Administrator/.ssh' pops up again. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the issue or not. I'm not even sure why the %homepath% for my administrator account on the server is set to administrator.DOMAIN, but AFAIK I can't log in to a local account on a Win2k3S box, correct?
Now, you'll notice that the command I issued to upload the keys I got from the RSync.net instructions. BQ's instructions for step 3 are pretty foreign to me.
I've gone further than this and attempted other things such as SSH'ing into my BQ server using putty and attempting to write the keys that way with no luck. I can't fully remember the errors I encountered doing so, though.
Manage Sub User Account
Jun 4, 2009I am looking for access to a specific environment and I thought i'd put it out there and ask y'alls if you have seen a good way to achieve or a reseller that would let you...
a. Use whmcs to auto create accounts (yes, ino, very likely in most cases)
b. Manage all the accounts from a user that has access to all the webroots.
Im looking for a setup that lets me autocreate an account so a user has access but lets me use dreamweaver to manage all the sites in one session. I've found either or, but not together.
I thought about buying an instance of cpanel or lxadmin but im tentative to move away from a guaranteed uptime and backup solution that comes with a reseller environment.

Disabling SSH Root Access But Enabling SSH Keys How To Do That
Apr 3, 2009in order to secure my server against instrusion, i disabled ssh root login and created a user for myself. however in order to access the user i need to enable SSH Password authentication
I dont enable password authentication all the time and i keep it disabled unless i need to do something via ssh.
Now my question will be, is there a way to keep the user i created and keep the root login disabled and password authentication disabled but use ssh keys for the user i created?
I was informed that if i opt to login to ssh via the user i created, the only way to do that is to enable password authentication as it cannot work with ssh keys. is this true?
I really hope someone can help me how to use the user i created together with ssh keys so i dont have to enable password authentication when loggin to ssh

SSH Keys & Direct Root Login Disabled
Jul 3, 2008Currently I have a server that has direct root SSH access disabled (have to login as regular user then su to root), but I am currently working on setting up authentication via SSH keys, but I can't seem to get it working with direct root SSH access disabled? Is this normal, and if so is there anyway to work around it?
Basically I'd like to be able to authenticate both ways; both with SSH keys or by logging in as a regular user and su to root.

How Do You Manage Servers With Resellers Accounts
Sep 25, 2008I have a question for those who manage servers with resellers accounts:
- how do you handle the high server load?
why this question?
- All reseller account that I have used until now had the high load problem
- many of the topics that I see here at wht, about resellers accounts complains of high load
- we have some servers with arround 100's shared accounts in each, without any load problems (without any reseller account)...
...but now, we build a new server to sell reseller accounts and after first reseller was created - high load usage!
what is the reason for that? is possible to have resellers that has a fair server usage?

Apache :: A Way To Upload And Manage Files
Jan 25, 2014I have a apache server, and i'd love to find a way to be able to upload files to my server, allowing me to view the files on my server or in a folder, allowing me to download these files, edit them and re-upload them, replacing them such as files like word documents. I want it to be web-based as i'll be using it for school work, so i can upload them.
