Moving MultiAccounts To New Host HowTo Request
May 8, 2007
I know Cpanel has some features to do this unfortunately i have a private lable Pannel
that is why I want to move to a host that can allow me to move all my customers in and out as fast as I need to. There are many reasons to leave or find different hosting
that is not the question the question is how to do this without having your customers
go crazy or if posible to do it without them even noticing more then a short period of downtime late at night.
Please offer any opinions or directions on Pannel choice and methods to make the move seamless.
Mistakes are also very interesting And although we all know every hosting company is willing to help us do this and they are all nice guys it is important that things like this can be done fast and also without need for outside tech support All things are important like checking php versions and perl moduals and apache, mysql, phpMyadmin versions.. is setting up a dns3. and dns4. and asking customers to use that important for fast migration?

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.

I have a customer who is building a video site and purchased the software - TVE2SDK from blue-pacific.com/products/turbinevideosdk/ and we are having a hard time finding a managed server that can handle the request of this DLL. Does anyone know of a Hosting company capaple of hosting such a DLL? It needs to be Windows, ASP, and SQL for the requirements and plenty of disk space. I prefer to move all my domains to this hosting company so size is definetely an issue with me. Currently, I have 14GB of disk space.

I bought a reseller account because i had a dozen or so sites and could save money etc taking charge of them. I bought a reseller account. After a while with my hosting company I am unhappy with the uptime so I have set up another reseller account with hostgator.
I now need to move all my sites over.
I understand what I need to do is;
(these are simple, non database, non wordpress sites btw)
Make a backup of site
Put backup of site on new reseller account
repoint dns for site on old reseller account to new reseller account
job done!
I have backed up my site and now want to upload it to my new location. I have setup the domain account in my reseller control panel.
My problem is how/where do i upload these files to? I think I need a direct IP address as if i ftp to ftp.sitename.com that onviously sends me to the reseller account i am trying to leave.
I know my reseller ip address, but how does that relate to the sites i am going to host...?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to eliminate downtime when I move my forum to a new host.
I have never had to move a site before so I don't know what's going to happen? How long does it take for the DNS changes to update? I don't want people to type in the forum's url and not be able to get the site?
I should add that I am switching from phpbb to vBulletin and have the new software sitting on the .org name of the forum at the new host. Should I just tell people if they have a problem the day after I make the switch to go to the .org as a default?

Hi guys, I've been having problems trying to edit my php.ini file which I think I've now fixed.
The whole reason I wanted to do this was because I've just moved to Media Temple from another hosting company and I'm having a couple of problems with the switchover.
Basically I use a CMS system to add properties which appear on the main website. I also upload PDFs and images. On the old hosting company, the PDFs and images went into folders called dnDir/pdf and dnDir/images but on Media Temple, they are going in to a folder called tmp. I really want them to go to the same place as they used to.
Is this an issue with php.ini that I need to rectify? If so, could you point me in the right direction?

I have to move some large websites from one host to another. The websites contain data about 1 - 3 GB, and my internet connection here is not that fast, so that downloading and uploading would take many hours. Unfortunately I have no SSH-Access to both accounts (old and new one), so I have to make it by FTP.
So I tried to make a tar file and moved it from the old to the new host. I made a tar archive of the whole webfolder (I used php to execute the shell commmands) and moved it by ftp to the new host. But now I´ve got troubles when extracting the archive on the new host: the extracted files are obviously created by the wrong user, so I can´t delete or access them by ftp.
So I´m trying to find other solutions to fix these problems. Maybe someone else had the same problems and could give me advice how to move large sites? Or do you know php-applications that can directly connect one host accout to another via ftp?

We currently use a hosting company in the UK to host about 13 of our clients websites. The domains have been registered with many different companies to complicate things even more!
We do not host their email. The clients look after their email themselves but obviously use the same domain as the website in their email addresses.
We would now like to move these websites to a new hosting company which I have already set up. I've uploaded all the files and databases so all that's in place and seems to be working well.
Now the complicated part (for me anyway)!
I'm not sure what I need to do in order to change where the site is hosted from and NOT change anything about the clients email settings. I believe I do not need to change the DNS settings as this may disrupt the email settings which I don't want. Do I need to change only the IP address to the new server?
My new hosting plan is on a Virtual dedicated server if that's important.

My customer has an external facing Apache server that is acting as a reverse proxy to two internal applications. They have:
- external addresses for each app which resolve to different ip addresses, so app1.their_domain.com and app2.their_domain.com resolve to 77.3.170.10 and 77.3.170.11 respectively.
- the Apache server has two network interfaces with ip addresses 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11
- the external ip addresses resolve to the above internal addresses
- the firewall between the Apache server and the internal app servers is configured to allow traffic from 192.168.10.10 to reach app_server1, and traffic from 192.168.10.11 to reach app_server2, both using port 7777.
I have configured a virtual host in httpd.conf for each ip, i.e.
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.10:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server1:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server1:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app1 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
and
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.11:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server2:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server2:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app2 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
This works fine in that the external address are being routed to the correct application, however the firewall is blocking requests to the second app as it appears the requests are coming from the Apache servers 'primary' ip address 192.168.10.10 instead of 192.168.10.11.
Is it possible to send requests using the ip address from the relevant VirtualHost?

I've been attempting to develope a server running apache 2+, php 5, and I was running into issues installing php as cgi.... All my scripts require The shebang:
#!/usr/bin/php at the top to execute properly. Anyone know a good site/how to that explains how to do this?
has anyone else here run suexec with apache? If so, could you tell me what you compiled it with? Just curious, as I think i'm doing everything right, yet I still fail

Anyone have any info on how to do this? It appears my hosts don't know how to do it..
"You have the tun module which can be loaded via a modprobe but the dev entries would appear to be needed to be made. Of course, you could do this if you know how or wait while I research it. We know tun/tap works on openvz but you're the first request we've had on Xen."

I'm on CentOS 4.4, webmin, LAMP, OpenSSH and ProFTPD server.
But what I'm wondering is how to look at my off network backup space.
I can only access my backup space through the DC network/my own server. So I need some kind of way to bounce a GUI ftp connection off the server - which would allow me to look at the files...
I know I can use rsync for backing up and restoring. But the way I understand rsync I need to know exactly what I am to move, as it operates on an exact command.

What is ASSP? ASSP is an Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy . The homepage can be found here. ASSP is a lightweight daemon that can filter mail based on various things such as SPF, RBLs, Bayesian word lists, as well as blocking email addresses from getting mail, or having mail filtered.
This tutorial will walk you through getting the admin interface for CPanel setup for ASSP. Currently, a paid user interface can be obtained here (note that I am in no way affiliated with, nor have I tried to use this UI, I am just offering the link to those that might find it useful)
Firstly, the setup:
You will need to activate Cpanel PRO (pro.cpanel.net/activate) for your server in order for this to fully work. This activation is currently free. Simply go to the previous mentioned URL and enter your IP address if you have not done so already.
Once you have activated CPanel PRO, go into whm->addon modules and check clamav connector, then click on "save". This will install clamav for you to use
Once you have done THIS, go to whm->service manager and UNcheck spamd (it is no longer necessary with ASSP), and again click on save/submit. Note that this IS optional, however the purpose of ASSP is to defeat spam before it GETS to SpamAssassin.
Once you have done THAT, go into whm -> tweak settings and uncheck SpamAssassin and BoxTrapper mail.
Secondly, the requirements:
ASSP needs certain perl modules established To install these, simply login (as root) to your server, and type the following
Code:
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Compress::Zlib
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Email::Valid
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::ReadBackwards
/scripts/perlinstaller --force File::Scan::ClamAV
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::SPF::Query
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Mail::SRS
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force Tie::RDBM
/scripts/realperlinstaller Sys::Syslog
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Net::LDAP
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Time::HiRes
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Tie::DBI
Note that the --force is optional, however it will make sure you've got it installed. Do these one at a time as some of these have configurable options to them.
One more perl module is needed. Since the later versions of Net::DNS are known to cause issues with RBLs, SPFs and the like, it is advised to use 0.57 . This can be obtained by doing the following:
Code:
mkdir /usr/local/assp
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/tmp
cd /usr/local/assp/tmp
wget [url]
tar xzf Net-DNS-0.57.tar.gz
cd Net-DNS-0.57
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Do NOT remove the /usr/local/assp/tmp directory as when you update cpanel, it will try to auto update Net::DNS again, so you will want this intact.
Now, let's get with the program here and install ASSP:
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
unzip -d /usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/*
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/.DS_Store
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/__MACOSX
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/ASSP
rm -f ASSP_1.2.6-Install.zip
rm -f Win32-quickstart-guide.txt;rm -f freshclam.bat
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir pb
cd pb
touch denysmtp.txt
touch exportedextreme.txt
touch pbdb.black.db
touch pbdb.rbl.db
touch pbdb.white.db
cd /usr/local/assp
mkdir /usr/local/assp/notspam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/spam
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors/notspam
cd /usr/local/assp
wget [url]
chmod 755 start
wget [url]
chmod 755 stop
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
wget [url]
chmod 755 assp
The core of ASSP is now installed. However, the development versions have updated functions to use for users. Of course, this is completely optional, but is recommended completely. This can be done by the following in SSH
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp/
mv assp.pl assp.pl_old
mv spamdb spamdb.old
mv rebuildspamdb.pl rebuildspamdb.pl.old
mv repair.pl repair.pl.old
mkdir Data
mkdir Data/Lists
wget [url]
wget [url]
000F4555.2/rebuildspamdb.pl
wget [url]
wget [url]
mv assp.css images
wget [url]
cd Data/Lists
wget [url]
chmod u+x /usr/local/assp/*.pl
Now, let's get it up and running, and configure it, shall we?
Code:
cd /usr/local/assp
/etc/init.d/assp start
You'll see ASSP sending out some messages and then doing nothing. This is ok, and it's the expected response. Now, we need to edit some stuff. Hit ctrl-c (cancel) to shut down ASSP
once it's stopped, you'll see the following file in the assp directory - assp.cfg . Edit that with whatever you want for an editor, something like:
Code:
nano assp.cfg
You want to change a few options immediately just to get it working
Look for the lines that are something like:
Code:
runAsGroup:=
runAsUser:=
and change them to be:
Code:
runAsGroup:=root
runAsUser:=root
Then look for the line that is
Code:
AsADaemon:=
and change it to
Code:
AsADaemon:=1
Now, let's change the password just so that we're secure:
look for the line that is
Code:
webAdminPassword:=nospam4me
and change that to
Code:
webAdminPassword:=insertrandompasswordhere
Now, let's tell ASSP to setup and accept mail for our domains. Look for the line something like
Code:
localDomains:=
and change that to be
Code:
localDomains:=file:/etc/localdomains
Almost there, just a couple more changes needed.
Look for the line that is something like
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:225
and change that to be
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
(or another port instead of 125, just REMEMBER the port!)
and one more change
change the line that looks like
Code:
listenPort:=125
to
Code:
listenPort:=25
Now save and exit the file. If you're using nano/pico, that would be ctrl-x , just make SURE to save the file before you exit!
Now, let's get ASSP fired up again
Code:
/etc/init.d/assp start
let's make sure you have assp starting on system boot:
Code:
chkconfig --add assp
Let's add a crontab to make sure that ASSP rebuilds the bayesian spam list
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
10 4 * * * cd /usr/local/assp;/usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl
Occasionally, what I've seen is ASSP will get "hung" on certain things and just kill itself. This fix will work for this, and make sure your ASSP installation is running smoothly
Open up another file on the server, my example will be /bin/asspcheck. In this file, add the following contents
Code:
assplog=/usr/local/assp/check.log
DATE=`date "+%m-%d-%y [%k:%M]"`
pidof=/usr/local/assp/pid
thispid=`cat $pidof`
if [ ! -d /proc/$thispid ];then
rm -rf $pidof;
/etc/init.d/assp start
echo "$DATE - ASSP - restarted" >> $assplog
else
echo "$DATE - ASSP - ok" >> $assplog
fi
Now, chmod the file itself
Code:
chmod u+x /bin/asspcheck
Now, make sure it's called every 60 seconds. Add this to your root crontab
Quote:
crontab -e
Code:
* * * * * /bin/asspcheck
Now, let's go BACK into WHM and setup the variables needed to get exim to use ASSP
In exim configuration editor, click on "advanced editor"
Clear out EVERYTHING from all of the existing boxes. Keeping these with data can cause ASSP to not function as it should
When you've done that, add the following to the top box:
Code:
# assp
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125
If you changed this variable to something else
Code:
smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:125
put in the other port, NOT 125, so it would look like 127.0.0.1.whateverporthere
Click on Save
Exim will restart and you now have a working installation of assp
Now, let's go to it and work with it a bit, shall we?
go to [url], enter the user admin and the password you changed nospam4me to. This will get you logged in and you can tweak the settings as you feel necessary.
ASSP is a great and powerful proxy for any mail server, which blocks using RBLS, whitelists, etc. It is advisable to setup the email interface and let your customers know of this so that you can get them to help you in reporting and addressing spam.
Parts of this howto were taken from this page, however much of that data has been found to be outdated as far as downloads from CVS and the like go, and I've added quite a bit of useful information into it as well.
Go through the ASSP configuration VERY carefully, and ONLY change what you're sure of.
Start with the RBLs, increase the list to 5 and max hits to 2 as suggested.
If you notice problems with this or know how it might be better, hey, feel free to post in here and I'll keep it as updated as possible :)

I found a handful of howto's for dspam, but none of them catered for exim with virtual users. After hunting around, I eventually have it working on a cPanel server, with user authentication for mail users.
My setup:
dspam version 3.6.8, using mysql driver.
exim version 4.
mysql 4.1
CentOS (2.6.9-023stab033.9-enterprise)
cPanel / WHM - latest RELEASE version.
Download the source, configure and compile:
Code:
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/sou...m-3.6.8.tar.gz
# tar -zxf dspam-3.6.8.tar.gz
# cd dspam-3.6.8
Configure, replacing user/groups with your web-server user (web / apache / nobody), and use your mysql-include / library paths (will need mysql-devel on rh based systems).
Code:
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/dspam-3.6.8 --with-local-delivery-agent=/usr/sbin/exim --with-storage-driver=mysql_drv --with-userdir=/var/spool/mail/dspam --with-userdir-owner=nobody --with-userdir-group=nobody --with-dspam-mode=none --with-dspam-owner=nobody --with-dspam-group=nobody --enable-whitelist --enable-spam-delivery --enable-alternative-bayesian --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-virtual-users --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql/ --with-dspam-home=/opt/dspam-3.6.8/var/dspam
# make && make install
Set up mysql
Code:
# mysqladmin -p create dspamdb
# mysql -p
>grant all privileges on dspamdb.* to dspamuser@localhost identified by dspampass;
>flush privileges;
>exit;
Create tables:
Code:
mysql -p dspamdb < /usr/local/src/dspam-3.6.8/src/tools.mysql_drv/mysql_objects_speed.sql
mysql -p dspamdb < /usr/local/src/dspam-3.6.8/src/tools.mysql_drv/virtual_users.sql
Link dspam in opt for easy versioning:
Code:
ln -s dspam-3.6.8 /opt/dspam
Copy the web interface files to a web directory:
Code:
# cp webui/cgi-bin /opt/dspam -r
# cp webui/htdocs /opt/dspam/
This next step is required for pop3 authentication.
Install perl module Apache::AuthPOP3 - which does apache pop3 authorisation:
Code:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Apache::AuthPOP3
Next, apache will need mod_perl installed - WHM -> Apache Update will allow you to enable the perl module (I am running it alongside php with no issues).
Then in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Code:
ScriptAlias /dspam/ /opt/dspam/cgi-bin/
Alias /dspam_files/ /opt/dspam/htdocs/
<Directory /opt/dspam/cgi-bin>
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Create .htaccess in /opt/dspam/cgi-bin as follows:
Code:
AuthName "Dspam"
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthPOP3
PerlSetVar MailHost localhost
Require valid-user
#PerlSetVar UserMap pop3user1=>realname1,pop3user2=>realname2
#Require user pop3user1 pop3user2 pop3user3 pop3user4
there are 2 commented parameters you can set when using POP3 auth - sure its pretty self-explanatory.
Set up admin user (the admin_user must be able to authenticate as a pop user):
Code:
#echo "admin_user" >> /opt/dspam/cgi-bin/admins
Create a queuesize script for web user - so dspam can determine how many messages in the queue.
Code:

Configure web ui, edit /opt/dspam/cgi-bin/configure.pl:
Code:
$CONFIG{'MAIL_QUEUE'} = "/usr/local/bin/eximqsize";
$CONFIG{'WEB_ROOT'} = "/dspam_files";
$CONFIG{'LOCAL_DOMAIN'} = "FQDN"; #your servers fully qualified domain name - e.g. host.yourdomain.com
Next, set the default preferences for the system (you need /opt/dspam/bin in your path if you copy and paste this...):
Code:
dspam_admin ch pref default trainingMode TEFT
dspam_admin ch pref default spamAction quarantine
dspam_admin ch pref default spamSubject "[SPAM]"
dspam_admin ch pref default enableWhitelist on
dspam_admin ch pref default showFactors off
Permissions:
I would suggest reading the README over dspam to get a full understanding of the permissions required for running of dspam. My permissions were:
Code:
# chown nobody:mail /opt/dspam/var/dspam -R
# chown nobody:mail /opt/dspam/etc/ -R
Edit dspam.conf (in /opt/dspam/etc/. I have only listed the parameters I changed here...):
Code:
TrustedDeliveryAgent "/usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned"
Trust: root
Trust: mail
Trust: nobody / httpd #choose 1 - what ever your webserver runs as - `ps axu | grep httpd` to find out
#Use the same details as you did for the "grant all privileges on...." statement in mysql.
MySQLServer /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
MySQLPort
MySQLUser dspamuser
MySQLPass dspampass
MySQLDb dspamdb
MySQLCompress true
MySQLVirtualTable dspam_virtual_uids
MySQLVirtualUIDField uid
MySQLVirtualUsernameField username
Almost there....
Confirm that mysql is configure to listen on a socket in /etc/my.cnf (or whereever your config file is):
Code:
# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Now the final step - exim configuration. This is the part that took the longest, hopefully it works for you. Just as I read in the howto's I used for this, please please please dont just copy and paste - you stand a good chance of breaking your mail server if you make changes without understanding. Be warned.
My config file is /etc/exim.conf. This should be edited using the WHM -> Exim Configuration Editor -> Advanced.
Code:
#Routers - Add these in the box before virtual_user delivery / user delivery router).
dspam_router:
no_verify
#uncomment the next line to disable dspam for virtual users.
# check_local_user

} }"
headers_add = "X-FILTER-DSPAM: by $primary_hostname on $tod_full"
driver = accept
transport = dspam_spamcheck
## The next 2 routers allow you to forward spam / non-spam to dspam for training (e.g. spam-yourmail@yourdomain.net).

If you have set up authentication correctly as well, then you should be able to open [url] and log in - if you add your login details to the "admins" file, you can configure defaults, etc. It also allows ALL users (with 1 user being an email account) to log in, using www.yourclientsdomain.com/dspam/dspam.cgi
This will not work with suexec enabled!! This is because dspam needs specific permissions, and it is expecting user nobody to access it. If suexec is enabled, you will need to use the default host, and NOT virtual hosts (and even this may not work - testing still required).
Watch exim_mainlog after this - you should pick up what transports and routers are being used.
Dspam can really hammer a system - mysql, cpu and memory usage will go up a bit, especially on busy production servers. Monitor your servers performance.
Other settings: add /opt/dspam/man to MANPATH in /etc/man.config or move dspam man directory to an existing man directory.
[ADDED]
This dspam.cgi hack will do a lookup in the cpanel config file to find the domain for any username without a domain, and append it on match (or leave just the username part if nothing is found). This requires unsecuring your system a bit - your http user will need to be able to read /etc/trueuserdomains (either chmod 644 or chown nobody):
Code:
#add this just after $CURRENT_USER is set.
if ($CURRENT_USER !~ /@.+./) {
open(TUD, "</etc/trueuserdomains");
while(<TUD>) {
my ($domain, $user) = split(/:/,$_);
chomp($user);
$user =~ s/^s*//g;
if ($user eq $CURRENT_USER) {
$CURRENT_USER = $CURRENT_USER . "@$domain";
}
}
close(TUD);
}
That should do it
dspam will allow all messages through by default, and will require some training. With this config, users can train using email commands - all they need to do is forward any spam that hits their mailbox to spam-emailaddress@domain.com (their own email address with spam- prepended). Unfortunately this does not allow handling of false positives if you are using a "quarantine" policy instead of subject. the web interface comes in handy for this.
I am busy testing a combination of dspam with assp, which seems to be working well - I especially like the greylisting feature of assp and ProtectionBox... Will add to this howto when testing is finish.

I've seen a lot of requests for a simple howto dealing with bandwidth limiting/"capping" on Linux. I put together a howto yesterday on this which I hope you'll find useful.
Ifve recently optimized the scripts used for bandwidth management in one of our UK facilities and I thought Ifd post a quick howto on it.
The full script can be found directly here: http://www.adamsinfo.com/bandwith-li...oute2/#more-15
My setup here is a live feed entering eth0 on this linux router and leaving eth1 into a switch connected to a collection of other servers. This is set up as an unrestricted public router, routing between a /30 on eth0 and a /24 on eth1.
Note: We canft in any way restrict the amount of traffic that eth0 receives from the outside, so instead we restrict how fast eth0 sends data out, the same applies the other way round. So, if we want to limit the amount of data that the local servers can send, we shape the routerfs external interface (eth0). If we want to limit the amount of data that the local servers can receive, we shape the routerfs internal interface (eth1)
With Debian Etch on 2.6.x, run:
apt-get install tc iproute2 bc
Then script as follows:
# Set some variables
#!/bin/bash
EXT_IFACE=heth0
INT_IFACE=heth1
TC=htch
UNITS=hkbith
LINE=h10000 #maximum ext link speed
LIMIT=h5000 #maximum that wefll allow
# Set some variables for individual gclassesh that wefll use to shape internal upload speed, i.e. shaping eth0
CLS1_RATE=h200 # High Priority traffic class has 200kbit
CLS2_RATE=h300 # Medium Priority class has 300kbit
CLS3_RATE=h4500 # Bulk class has 4500kbit
# (Wefll set which ones can borrow from which later)
# Set some variables for individual gclassesh that wefll use to shape internal download speed, i.e. shaping eth1
INT_CLS1_RATE=h1000 #Priority
INT_CLS2_RATE=h4000 #Bulk
[...] A few hundred lines [...]
I have tried not to get bogged down with too many irrelevant details here and would be happy to answer any questions or take any corrections. Itfs pretty simple and it works well. Install bmon and you can confirm this yourself. The purpose of this is that I can take a 10mbit connection and limit the traffic to 5mbit ensuring that I donft break the 95th percentile that I want to maintain at the datacenter. I can increase and decrease this at any time as traffic requires or permits respectively.

We are planing to implement a spam appliance like the mailfoundry for our 60 cpanel servers.
What is the best and easiest way to replace the standard cpanel mx entry in the dns zonefiles with our two new MX entries?
Additionaly we need to enable the option "Always accept mail locally even if the primary mx does not point to this server." for all the dnszonefiles where we use the new MX entries.
The problem is, that some customers are using already own mx entries, therefore we can not change all of them, but only the entries which point to the cpanel server.
Does someone have a script for this, or how would you change this?

Here is the procedure to upload websites and their subwebs (subsites) with FP 2002/2003
Upload the website with FTP
Install FP extensions
Wait for the DNS to pullulate
Open your remote website with FP
Convert folders to subwebs as needed
Upload (again) all your website files with FP
An error message will appear: "cannot find a web server at <domain name> on port 80 ...."
select <OK>
Wait for FP to stop and a message "status unknown" will appear
start uploading again
A message asking something about replacing remote files will appear. Select <YES>
Repeat the process for each subweb (it might take a while)
At the end, you will find a status message: "Successful upload", or similar
That was all
It works for some hosts with cPanel but I cannot be sure if it works for all
Some just require oppening the remote site with FP and convert the requiered folders to subwebs as neeeded.

I have a website that was running fine for a month or two until my host recently changed some settings on the server, and now it shows a bunch of errors. I contacted the host and they said >
"To avoid the errors, please do not use disabled function. If you need such functionality, you can have your own php.ini on your root http folder containing only necessary option"
Since I'm not a programer, I have no idea what they're talking about. So, I asked them how to do that, they're reply of course was>
"Please consult with the script writer on how to convert ini_set function in your code to php.ini seting. As the script is not encrypted, you can do it with commenting all ini_set calls and write a substitute on php.ini (Create php.ini file in webroot folder)."
I tried to contact the developer, but it appears he has gone MIA! So, now I am left with no clue how to fix the website, so I turn to you guys!
The website is [url]. You can see the errors in the header, but I'll post them here as well>>
"Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/buymydom/public_html/includes/global.php on line 3
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/buymydom/public_html/includes/global.php:3) in /home/buymydom/public_html/includes/global.php on line 32

My question is, How do I convert ini_set function in my code to php.ini?

This one's pretty simple really, but given the fact that I'm constantly running into crond stops with CPanel servers (no clue why, or where, but it's happening), I'll post this here. If it helps someone, then great, if not, hey, no worries.
Firstly, login as root to your server through ssh, however you usually do .
Next, the script (we'll call it /bin/croncheck.sh). Use whatever editor you choose to create the file.
#!/bin/bash .......
