Plesk 11.x / Linux :: CentOS 6.6 Based System - Activate Mod Rewrite With Proftpd
Nov 13, 2014
My company and I are currently discovering Plesk on a CentOS 6.6 based system. We are migrating from an old system on which FTP usernames could hold uppercase letters, which apparently is not the case in Plesk 11 (or is it because of CentOS?).
Anyway, as we can't change these FTP account names, I was thinking about creating a rule with mod_rewrite in the proftpd.conf file.
So the question is: how can I reinstall/reconfigure proftpd with this module activated? I don't even know where to find the corresponding package (which repo, correct version, etc...)
I have a brand new Plesk 12 Installation with just a first Subscription/Domain for my test. Enabling fail2ban jails brings me the following error for the jails plesk-proftpd and ssh. All others went on.
error 'f2bmng failed: ERROR No file(s) found for glob /var/log/secure'.
I see that /var/log/secure is missing, althoug I already used ssh and ftp to log in once. I can go to touch the /var/log/secure file or adjust the jail configs to proper log file location? Which is the way to go?
I have a new CentOS 7, with Plesk 12, CentOS 7 by default has XFS filesystem.
I try migrate sites from another Plesk Server but Plesk agent say: "hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system" (my CentOS 7)
I added "usrquota,grpquota", then mount -o remount / ; but when I try quotacheck -fmv / I gest this:
[root@ns ~]$ quotacheck -fmv / quotacheck: Skipping /dev/mapper/centos-root [/] quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
but quotaon command works:
[root@ns ~]$ quotaon / quotaon: Enforcing group quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root quotaon: Enforcing user quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root
The problem here is why Plesk does not recognize quotas as enabled on CentOS 7??
when I try to activate a new subscription (webspace) comes out an error as attached image, which tells me that there is already a user account and a DNS record, but in reality do not exist and therefore can not delete them.
I just added a new PHP Handler with PHP Verison 5.5.18 as cgi and i always get an error when activating. I used the samte setting and php ini as the Buildin Ones
How do I remove psa-proftpd on my Server? or make config by proftpd-basic?I have problems with Game Panel Easy-Wi..or is there a tutorial about this problem with Plesk and Easy-Wi?
I'm running a brand new installed VPS with CentOS 6.6 and Plesk 12.0.18. I created a subscription and by default a FTP user is created. However, I cannot login with these credentials. I also created a new user but the same problem presists. I'm 100% sure that the username and password is correct.
Filezilla gives me and 530 Login incorrect. But if I look at the /var/log/secure file, I see this odd message (FTP username = test):
Jan 30 16:01:45 transip proftpd: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_stack.so): /lib64/security/pam_stack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Jan 30 16:01:45 transip proftpd: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_stack.so Jan 30 16:01:45 transip proftpd: pam_listfile(proftpd:auth): Couldn't open /etc/ftpusers Jan 30 16:01:45 transip proftpd[18085]: 127.0.0.1 (x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x]) - USER test (Login failed): No such user found
No such user found, although it is created with Plesk.
Recently I've tested the usage of domain keys on my plesk 12 server. The feature works without problems. I'm wondering however if it's possible to activate the domain keys by a service plan or subscription model. If not, for all my domains (65) I've to activate them manually and for each domain iIll create in the future I have to activate it too.
I am noticing that several of my users are wiping out their user root folders ( logs, error docs, etc...) when they fail to use '/httpdocs/' as the root directory when publishing with FTP.
I fixed this by editing the proftpd.conf to use ~/httpdocs/ as the DefaultRoot folder ( instead of just ~/ ).Would it be safer(better) to go through all the ftp users and make the home directory '/httpdocs/' instead of '/' in the admin UI? If yes, what is the best way to do a mass update of this setting for multiple users ( multiple domains ) ?
I had a HDD crash recently on my Root Server. Replaced HDDs, installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is not supported by Plesk yet. Anyway...
I had 2 issues:
1) Could not create Customers, because IP Pool was empty. Changed IP Type from Dedicated to Shared. Fixed issue. 2) Cannot connect to the FTP Server using the Login Data from one of my Domains.
FlashFXP and FileZilla both show the same error, which is:
Code: Response:220 ProFTPD 1.3.4c Server (ProFTPD) [*ip removed*] Command:USER *user removed* Response:331 Password required for *user removed* Command:PASS ************** Response:530 Login incorrect. Error:Critical error Error:Could not connect to server
I am using apache with subversion and need to redirect a request for a file to a different file based on the user that has made the request. It appears that the URL for the requested file could be changed on the fly using RewriteMap; however, is there any way to get the User (as typically given in the request_rec available to apache hooks) making the request in the program used?
Latest Plex installed on a fresh machine. Have tried both Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 and cannot seem to have my website work correctly regarding URL rewrites. Its enabled in apache...
I have a small problem. I have a install directory on my website, who are only for me. I have a password protected directory, and thats no problem to create in Plesk on Linux.
But the main diffrent from Windows based Plesk, are that I can not create a directory there I can browse the files in my webreader. In windows plesk they have a option called Web directory, but I have never seen thats option in Linux plesk.
Are there any easy way to password protect and allow directory browsing in Plesk for Linux? Or do anybody have a easy way to do that?
One option, is to access the directory thru FTP interface in Internet explorer (ftp://mysite/directory). But I want to access the site thru HTTP if possible.
For the first Time now i was trying to grant a User SSH Access via Plesk Panel (chrooted/non chrooted), but it doesnt work out really .. Abonnement > Edit Permissions > Allow Access chrooted (or non chrooted doesnt matter) doesnt change anything when im trying to Login with the created System User by Plesk. Login doesnt work!
Regular SSH Login as root works as always without any problems, but even via "su user" it doesnt works.
Till now I didn't had any Problems with my VPS Setup based on Centos 6.6 and Plesk 12.0.18 #50.
I have setup a CentOS 4.5 on a server with no fancy options enabled.
The only thing I have is the ssh service running on port 22.
The server comes up fine but is inaccessible until I login into the console and pings an external IP or domain.
Once I have done this, I am able to remotely login into the server via ssh. And then few minutes after, the server becomes unavailable again until I do the same routine...ping an external IP or domain.
I enabled rkhunter in Plesk 12 to check the system weekly. I get a warning now, which I never got in older versions of Plesk:
The current hash function (/usr/bin/sha1sum) or package manager (DPKG) is incompatible with the hash function (Unset) or package manager (Unset) used to store the values. Debian 7.6 x64
in CENTOS 6.6 / PLESK 12 when I use the find command I get this notice:find: File system loop detected; "/var/named/chroot/var/named" is part of the same file system loop as "/var/named".
Is it possible to query for a list of system users using the API RPC? I know it's possible with a MySQL query
Code: select id, login, account_id from sys_users order by login;
I've searched through the API RPC manual, but I don't see a way to do this. I always have to specify a filter, I can't find a way to just query for all users.
I got a new Server with Plesk 12.0.8 (old one has 11.5.30). Now I have to migrate all Subscriptions of the old System into the new one.
I tested it with one item and all time I get this warning:
Warning:SSL certificate "default certificate" Execution of /opt/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/certificate.php --create default certificate -cert-file /opt/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-cert-GzVcei -key-file /opt/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-privkey-PgXbaU -print-signature -admin -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1. Stderr is Unable to create certificate "default certificate": Unable to set the private key: Probably, the private key format is invalid.
My /var/www/vhosts/system directory was accidentally deleted. The actual vhost directories are unharmed, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example.com. Is there a non-destructive script I can run to re-initialize the system directory? I am on Plesk 11.5.30.
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.
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64 Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Package php-mysql is obsoleted by php-mysqlnd, trying to install php-mysqlnd-5.5.13-3.el5.remi.x86_64 instead --> Processing Dependency: php53-gd for package: psa-php53-configurator --> Processing Dependency: php53-imap for package: psa-php53-configurator
