Are there any providers out there can be integrated with Plesk so that DNS zones for all vhosts are automatically propagated on the secondary DNS service?
I've asked DNS Made Easy but they advised that the domain has to be set up manually with them first.
It has been bought to my attention during our upgrade planning, that PPA & Plesk Panel do not offer the functionality for setting up a backup MX servers. In our current configuration we use Sendmail as both secondary and tertiary MX servers. These are manually configured and prone to configuration mistakes.
Multiple scenarios need to be taken into consideration.
Scenario 1: Hosters Plesk hosted primary mail server + secondary & tertiary mail servers.
Scenario 2: Client hosted primary mail server + hosters secondary & tertiary mail servers.
I am looking for alternate ways for backup / secondary MX servers for our planned PPA / Plesk deployment. An automated solution would be ideal, but we are falling short trying to find a solution to streamline the process and remove margin for error.
I am using a Linux server together with Parallels v10.31 ... Unfortunately I get little or no real support from my host so and if I do it's cryptic.
I have been getting a large amount of emails from my server [hundreds daily].
I have attached a screen grab indicating type of email being sent.
I have created only one cron job and that was to reset the RAM on a regular base.
Also is it safe to update to the latest version without a major disaster happening....
I'm trying to redirect users to database/mail management pages with automatic login link, while logging in part works ok, I have issues with redirections.
Plesk is installed on different server than my site, and if I try to use "success_redirect_url" param in link url, it will show this error "Original link and target URL should be on the same domain."
It works ok if I prevent browser from sending http referrer to plesk, but I'm not sure if it will work for all user as this depends on their browser.
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround that would not depend on used browser?
According to [URL] .... The SOA-record is set to the first NS-record set in Plesk.
I have noticed that new domains get my secondary DNS set as SOA.
I checked the DNS-template and there the correct nameserver is on top. Maybe the NS-record order is random or always swapped. I just noticed this.
If it's always swapped then I could give the authorative NS last in my template...
But why isn't it giving itself as authorative?
If Plesk is configured as master it also implies this, or am I missing something there? It could at least make sure it puts itself first.
I have Plesk 12 with bind. Currently I have 2 ips on same server, so the 2 name servers are on same machine. When I installed it I didn't do any extreme thing, it just worked.I purchased an other server, because I need it for development. I would like to setup the new server as secondary dns server. I don't use Plesk on the new server.How can I setup this with record sync? I'm using ubuntu ...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two VPS with two different Datacenters. I am running my website on one of the VPS which has Plesk Panel 11.5 installed on it. Since my second server is not in use, I would like to use it as a Secondary DNS Server for redundancy. I know this can be done with Plesk Expand. But, I am not in a position to invest further as I just run 4 domains on my main server. I was looking at installing some free control panel on my secondary VPS and set it up as a Secondary DNS Server if possible. But, I could not find any Guides on setting this up.
How I can do this? I see that we have an option in Plesk - 'Switch DNS Service mode' which can be used to either setup my first server as a Secondary or Primary. I have installed Webmin/Virtualmin on the second server, but how to set this up perfectly. I can reinstall the 2nd Server if required, but not my first one with Plesk.
I have a server with two hard disks.
The centos operating system and plesk (and also apache webserver) are installed on the first hard disk.
I have mounted the second hard disk (6 TB with ext4 file system) in a folder under /var/www/vhosts/AHostingAccount directory.
This folder is accessible via plesk's file manager but i cannot access it via ftp.
I found this useful script to get backup in plesk:

I have a dedicated server that only has around 3-4gb of data on it. I would like to do automated nightly backups for as cheap as possible. I don't want to pay to have my server managed just to be able to have automated backups, so what other solutions do I have? I know I can get really cheap storage from Amazon or Mosso, but is there a way to automate this?

Everytime I create a new website account in WHM I am required to go in and manually edit the DNS record to include the MX record of my mail server.

some software that can be ran on a desktop that will allow me to download and backup my databases from my Cpanel server.
I have a remote backup server that once the databases are backed up can be uploaded to this location. Im not too sure if im going around things in a long winded fashion, but ideally i need a solution that can take management of my database backups.
The cpanel dedi im using at the moment is currently utilising the Backup feature, so this is a secondary backup. At the same time i would like to select which databases are backed up too.
Realistically im looking for your expert advice here, im a novice when it comes to server admin etc so your expert help to guide me would be fantastic. Im not to sure whether i would need a desktop tool to back these databases up, or whether it can be done at a server level? Dare i say it im just used to using GUI's and not so familiar with command lines etc.
MPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (server.mydomain.com) resolves to . It should resolve to xx.xx.xxx.xx. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
I'm used to operating dedicated servers. This year I want to venture into getting a reseller account and / or media temple account.
With my dedicated servers, I do automated mysql dumps and I do nightly rsyncs of all my /home /etc and other important data so disaster recovery is possible.
My question is, how do you do the same thing? Sleep well at night? with these regular web hosting accounts?
I see most newbie people who pay for web hosting do not bother to backup their data. Ignorance is bliss until disaster strikes.
How do you automatically backup your data (mysql and directories) in your multiple web hosting accounts like reseller or grid service media temple?
I have a few questions about backup. Other than any backup service provided by your host, do you backup your vps regularly?
Is it automated or manual?
Are you using any external backup service / server?
Is there a way to automate the generation and FTP of home directory backups in Cpanel?
CPanel lets you create a full account backup and ftp's the result to another server but can only be done manually from what i understand. Is there a way to initiate the process automatically? maybe schedule it for once a week.
I run an online music archive site . Djs can upload their mixes to share and we also archive radio shows for people to listen back to.
Basically I was wondering if it would be possible to build a secondary server that could do this for me.
The secondary server could have multiple cast rippers running and could record internet radio shows, then once finished recording transfer it could send them over to my primary server to add to the website for people to download.
i recently find out that I don;t have an database backup for one of my biggest websites.
The database I'm talking about has 228 tables (198.6 MB)
In the backup file I only get this :

The other databases I have tried are all ok, but none is this big. Is there any size limit ?
I have uploaded an printscreen with the setings of my WHM.
I have a centos server & whenever I reboot it, it goes into File System check and takes about 1 hr to turn online.
The irony is, I reboot the server only when the load goes high (esp when traffic is high).. And the server is down for long times when traffic is high.
The server config is pretty good, but it shows these problems once in 15-20 days.
Just wondering, since it appears to be hard to come by, but are there any providers that offer the option to use an automated system in order to provision new licenses for cPanel (or others?)
For example, you're setting up a VPS in the middle of the night, customer wants cPanel. You can't use the trial licenses via cpanel.net since they limit you to 3-4.
If your provider has an automatic API to bill and provision your license, you're good to go. If you don't...
Options? I'm mainly looking in Montreal (I know of Netelligent and Iweb, but both are manual povisioning).
It's not a make-or-break thing, but something nice to have.
Is there any cheap / stable VPS vendor in UK likes cheapvps.co.uk? I just need a minimum VPS (128MB RAM?) for secondary DNS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI signed up with cheapvps.co.uk a month ago, and I'm very happy with them . Now I'm looking for a very small VPS to host a secondary DNS server, and maybe a backup MX server.
It's just for personal use.
I think 5GB disk space would be enough, and I would like not to spend more than $10 USD/month. Do you know any VPS that suits my needs?
We need a secondary DNS for our cPanel server, as we want to have separate nameservers. What is the cheapest vps anyone knows that is hosted outside of Bluesquare House (UK). Global location isn't important.

I have 2 VPS's one running cPanel/WHM with about 15 low traffic sites on it. The other is a very slow spec VPS, hopefully just for DNS services.
I only have 1 domain server running currently, this is on the same server as the all the websites, what I want is a secondary DNS mirroring that of the DNS on my cPanel VPS, automaitically....
I was thinking of writting a little script to scp all the .db files in /var/named/ to my secondary server, then login to the secondary server and restart BIND?
What happens if your primary nameserver goes down? Meaning that it goes completely off the net, not even denying dns requests but completely ignoring them.
I'd guess that resolvers would query the secondary NS after a specified timeout, but what is that timeout set to? Does it differ from ISP to ISP? How much of a slowdown are we looking at for end users?
