Plesk 12.x / Linux :: DNS TXT Entries Not Updating
Feb 10, 2015
I am running
OS Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Plesk version 12.0.18 Update #34, last updated at Feb 10, 2015 01:52 AM
I have created a few websites using plesk and i have the dns acting as the primary . This server acts as a primary nameserver for the DNS zone mywebsite.co.uk
When i add a txt record the dns is updated but it never resolves so my DKIM and SPF records are never found. I have checked my syntax for the records and all are fine. My domains are hosted by stratoservers. Is it there fault or mine. Should i change providers so i have more access to the domains dns or should plesk be doing that for me...
We have change IP from NS server in Plesk.Why can we force refresh named.conf (for all domains) ? Informations stay with old IP.We can force one domain when we change an information in the DNS and we validate. But Hown can we change all domains?
Example: Old > NS server1.com (x.x.x.1) New > NS server1.com (x.x.x.2)
My server admin already upgraded my OpenSSL to version 1.0.1m 19 Mar 2015 and he also upgraded Nginx to 1.6. I'm also running CentOS v5.11 and Plesk v11.5.
However, he tells me that he still can't get TLS 1.2 to work because he noticed that my server uses a different version of Nginx (sw-nginx), which he believes is part of Plesk. How we can get TLS 1.2 working on the Plesk copy of Nginx (sw-nginx)?
# ll /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag ls: cannot access /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag: No such file or directory
# /etc/init.d/psa-firewall start psa-firewall: service is disabled
You then have to manually "touch" the active.flag to be able to start the firewall again. A workaround is to remove the line:
Code: sed -i 's:rm -f /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/active.flag::' /opt/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh'
I really hope that Parallels fixes this asap, as normally you won't notice that the firewall is not active when every works fine (nothing is blocked) and Plesk still shows all the rules.
My license is updated every month, however it is not automatic, i have to go to Tools & settings > license management and click on "Retrieve Keys" every month.
Iguess there should a cron job that should do this for me every month in Centos.
How to update out of date components included in VPS? For instance...
rkhunter is at v1.3.4 whereas the current version is 1.4.2. Why both about updating? Well, in part to reduce the number of false-positive warnings and in part to gain more current protection.
A yum update isn't possible as 1.4.x has moved on quite significantly from 1.3.x and while downloading and installing rkhunter isn't terrible difficult, trying to get it to update the 1.3.4 version included with VPS seems somewhat more difficult...
SpamAssassin is at v3.3.1-3 whereas 3.4.0 is the current release version and 3.3.2 is no longer supported, meaning 3.3.1 is definately way out of support. Why bother? Better spam detection and blocking
When VPS will update to something nearer current versions of both of these components?
I'd like to upgrade my server from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04. The idea is to migrate my actual server (S1) to another one (S2). Then, format and install ubuntu 14.04 with Plesk on S1, and finally migrate the data from S2 to S1. Is it a good solution? Is it possible to do this using only one server? I don't know if I can do it making a backup, install Ubuntu 14.04 and then, restore the data into the server.
However, I have a problem with the migration agent. When I go the migration page, the migration agent tries to update itself and it keep at 0% forever (I attach an screenshot).
The IP addresses assigned to our servers have changed so it's time to update the default SPF information contained in the DNS records for ALL of the domains hosted on our servers:
However, when we update the resource record in the DNS template and then "Apply the changes to all zones...",
Panel will apply changes from the template to all DNS zones including the customized ones. Note that user-modified records always remain intact. For example, if the template contains a new record that was already added by a customer, Panel will keep the customer's record.Click to expand...
I found out a easy way to update the Database name of a WP installation through phpmyadmin panel, However I can't seem to update or refresh the Parallels WP Settings with correct information. Is this a bug?
This is how to reproduce:
From phpMyAdmin select the database you want to select, in the tabs there's one called Operations, Go to the rename section.
Update the user privileges to the new Database name and remove the old privileges (save) Then manually update the wp-config file which contains the 'Database name' (save) Then goto Parallels Plesk > Websites & Domains> WordPress Installations > Change Settings
Here you should notice the Change Settings for the WordPress Installation still contains the old Database name.
I have attempted to update our plesk panel 10.4.4 to 12.0.18. I left it running overnight and in the morning it is still saying "Waiting . . ." with the progress as follows - has it finished, will it ever finish . . . should I switch off and start again?
Installation started in background Determining the packages that need to be installed. File downloading PANEL-WIN_12.0.18/dist-msi-Microsoft-2003-i386/panel.msi:
I am using Plesk 11.5.30 Update #39. The statistics in not updating the mssql database size. It is always showing 0. I am attaching the screen shot. This account has 2 mssql 2008 database and uses 70MB. In plesk it is showing as 0 MB.
We are not able to block the account for mssql over usages.
I have noticed that resellers traffic stats (looks like email) are not being updated and just show 0.
On the server that is for resellers I see there is a file in /usr/local/psa/var/log containing a file mail_traffic_pendings.dat with sender and recipient domain traffic. I presume this has to be processed to go into the database, but obviously it is not. How to debug this issue so that email stats get updated for clients.
I just moved to a new vps and I have "ns1.domain.com" and "ns2.domain.com" entries for my primary and secondary nameservers as well as simply "ns1" and "ns2" .... are these the same thing? Is there any harm in having both? Any feedback appreciated!
I have been trying to figure out how to allow a range of IPs with APF. I finally came across the CIDR page on wikipedia and read it though, and now I get it. I just want to confirm one thing before I implement this.
I run a gameserver where I want to allow everyone in the world to connect on a certain port, so can I use this entry?
Code: tcp:in:d=27015:s=192.168.0.0/0 From what I understand, using the /0 CIDR suffix basically means "all IPs". So technically I could use ANY IP address for the source with the /0 suffix and it will work right?
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.
I would like to streamline the process and need a way to make WHM automatically include my MX records every time I create a new account. Is this possible?
All accounst in my dedicated server start to show a very strange error_log with the following entries:
==== [04-Nov-2009 21:28:51] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_interbase.dll' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_interbase.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 ..... ====
Always when a php script is accessed, new entrie with this error above is created.
I dont understand because php script have not any relation with intebase or pgsql and my server have not this e db installed.
I used to have a dedicated server running Apache 1.x (1.3 I think) and in my httpd.conf there were entries about keepalives, maxservers, minservers etc.
I've now got a VPS from FutureHosting, which is brilliant. In my httpd.conf file though, there are none of the above entries. It is running the latest version of Apache (2.2.11).
Are all the keepalive / minservers settings handled automatically in 2.2 or do I just have a default setting and maybe need to add them manually?
I don't have any load issues so haven't touched the config so far.
I discovered this forum googling and i think is a very good community, so i registered and well... as any noob, started to ask questions U.U im new in this stuff of web hosting... though i know some things... i dont have experience, its my first job in a small web hosting company, and we have a strange problem, we loss entries on /etc/localdomains when we migrate domains from one server to another and nobody knows why... we can fix it trough deleting the dns entry and creating it again on the target server. I know its kinda messy (for me at least) i hope u can give me at least an insight of where the problem might be.
We do the migration trough the migration tool of WHM
Here is some data about the target migration server, if u need something else... please tell me.

For all newly created domains, they will automatically adopt a DNS template which I've set up in Plesk. But for my own domains (not clients) I've changed my MX entries in my DNS Settings section to point to the server of that of Gmail (Google). The primary server with the highest priority is "aspx.l.google.com"
To get to the point... I receive emails on the Gmail interface, which is stored on the Gmail server, though I have a slight problem when it comes to local emails. In other words...when my server sends out an email to myself (either from a contact form, daily log files, etc...) I don't receive the emails through the Gmail interface, but rather through my POP server, which is logical, since my server is most probably configured to use "mail.yourdomain.com" and not "aspx.l.google.com".
Question : How can I have both incoming emails (from other domains/servers) and local emails (from my own server) go through the Gmail server? I'm guessing that I'll have to edit Sendmail or PHP or something, though I'm not sure, that's why I'm posting this.
Sorry if the post is a bit confusing. I tried my best to explain the situation, though if you have any questions, please respond with them.
I have set up a pair of name servers, the first one is accepted by the registrars and the second one is not. They have been configured identically as far as I can tell.
It appears that some test is run by the registrars to see if the name server can be used.
Is there any way I can find what test it is and get a way to run it to see what the problem is?
Are there scripts or sites where I can run whatever type of test it is and know what the problem is?
I just transfered an existing client of mine to one of my servers but he has MX entries.
I entered the MX settings in Cpanel for him but im wondering if I have to actually add all the mail accounts? Im assuming since he is using MX entries then he is using a seperate server to handle all the accounts. Am I right in my assumption? Do I have to add all his mail accounts into cpanel?
Is this someone trying to gain access to the server and just trying different password or ways? The server is new with no websites hosted yet but already getting this.
Will Brute Force not take care of this?
Is this common? Any ideas?

I just got a very cheap box intended to learn HyperVM/OpenVZ. just got it tonight and got 5 IPs. So I add those 4 IPs in the Resources > IP Pools section. I don't know what to add in the Resolv Entries (space Separated) field.
if this is not the correct forum for this, please be free to move them.

Few days ago i upgraded cPanel, and then Apache, PHP5, eAccelerator, hadn't updated in ages.
Server worked lightning fast compared to old (PHP 4, older Apache, no eAccelerator), and seemed stable.
Few hours later, server is unresponsive, it took over a day to get the server on the status that i can even see what's happening!
Downgraded back to PHP4, removed suhosin. Still happens. Reworked all the configs, and took all resource limits so low that it survives that, PRM gives 12secs time, enough apache processes etc. Maximum clients lowered to 50 etc. you get the general feel what i did, just to see what's going on.
Now the server survives those 2200+ processes somehow and comes back responsive in some minutes. Killing all PHP processes alone does not solve the problem, but need to restart other services too. All services tend to start crashing when this happens.
Thing is, they are specific user PHP processes, ALL of them, and thus HTTP Request (suPHP), but no log entries for those, i do not see where from they originate, what PHP files are being requested, reworking individual PHP files for that account didn't help at all etc.
I cannot just suspend this account, it's an high importance account for my own needs.
This account gets ~2½million requests a month regularly, and server can handle that.
There was one new reseller account setup for someone else the day this started happening (i upgraded to PHP5 just after accoutn creation) but i think that's unrelated.
Any ideas how to start pursuing a resolution for this? It has started happening more frequently than before, so i'm also suspecting a DDoS, ubt there should be log entries.
Is it possible the requests come so fast that Apache just don't have the time needed to write log?
HDD is the bottleneck actually on this server (ty Leaseweb, you guys gave me the worst HDD of the size you could find and want to charge 25euros a month extra for a proper HDD of same size, 250gb!)
