Plesk Automation :: PPA Cluster - Creating Dedicated Server?
Feb 4, 2015
I've added a new Apache/MySQL node to our PPA cluster and we'd like to be able to host a single subscription on that node for the Apache webhosting and MySQL databases for that subscription while allowing that subscription to utilized the rest of the shared resources in the cluster, such as mail, DNS, etc. I'm looking for the best way to go about doing that.
I guess one simple way would be to set the new server to 'ready to provide' and set the rest to not ready, add the "linux shared hosting" hosting subscription to the customer account, then switch the new server to not ready and the rest back to ready. That works fine I suppose in a small cluster, but there has to be a better way. Is there a way to craft a service template that restricts subscribers to a particular node for Apache + MySQL and leaves them to rest of the "regular" nodes in the cluster for other services?

The issue is effectively that we created a subscription with the domain. Which has since been deleted. The domain now wants to be added to another subscription on the account.
The domain can be seen in both the PBAS and PPA domains and everything seems to point at the right subscriptions. I presume all this is right as we have other domains quite happily added to the subscription in a similar manner.
I'm not really wanting to rip out the entire domain from the system as we spent the morning putting in 132 records, due to a bizarre lack of bulk insertion tools.

more experience Linux users to partition my dedi into VPS. I have an Intel Quadcore 2.4 Ghz, 500GB HDD, 2GB DDR RAM, dedicated server with a max 100mbit connection and 2000GB BW/mo. It has Centos 5.3 (centos-release-5-3.el5.centos.1) installed on the server and I want to install the DirectAdmin CP soon.
I'm not a reseller or webhost and don't intend to become one. This server is for my exclusive use.
I want to use half the server to run virtual instances of a Windows 2008 server and a KDE or similar Linux virtual desktop using FreeNX as well as a 4PSA VoIP Now or similar software. The other half of the drive will be to run my businesses websites, mailserver, a DNS server, etc.
I have six IP addresses for this server that can be used to this end and will host at least three websites (under separate domain names) and one or two blogs for which I will install requisite software.
I understand that the RHEL 5 embedded virtualization software will allow me to partition the server into VPS for various purposes.
Here are the outputs from ckdisk -l and parted -l respectively for the current HDD partitions.
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 60801 488279610 8e Linux LVM
[root@denprivatevaert ~]# parted -l
Model: ATA ST3500320AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3 boot
2 107MB 500GB 500GB primary lvm
Error: Unable to open /dev/md0 - unrecognised disk label.
For the DA install, so I don't have to try to figure out where things are, I'd like to use their more complex partition structure as follows:
/boot 40 meg
swap 2 x memory
/tmp 1 Gig. Highly recommended to mount /tmp with noexec,nosuid in /etc/fstab
/ 6-10 Gig
/usr 5-12 gig. Just DA data, source code, frontpage.
/home rest of drive. Roughly 80% for user data. Mount with nosuid in /etc/fstab if possible.
I will install dovecot to be able to create SSL access to my webmail so don't need a '/var' directory.
What I want to know is:
1) Should install virtualization and partition the drive prior to having DA installed?
2) How do I best partition the drive into VPSes so I can run distinctly different virtual instances of different OS and/or programs on the VPS as well as use half for websites, blogs, servers, etc.?
3) What else do I have to keep in mind when doing this?
I'd appreciate any positive, useful response and information on getting this done and I'd like to try to get this done by Monday or Tuesday of next week so DA can be installed on the appropriate partition.

I tried to set up a site with a "dedicated" IP without SSL, and ran into this problem again. The new IPs (v4 or v6) are not reachable, pingable, or trace routable from outside the container, even from its PCS hardware node.This is what I get after adding the address in PPA:
Code:
# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO=static
[code]....
By contrast, if I add an IP address through PVA, it is pingable. Note the differences, namely that PVA's ifcfg-eth0:0 has "BOOTPROTO=static" and the IPs double quoted. For those testing at home also note that PVA removed the existing IPv6 addresses (that it didn't know about).
Code:
# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="static"
GATEWAY="x.x.194.1"
IPV6_DEFAULTGW="aaaa:bbbb:0:4c::1"
[code]....
Could that make a difference? Why I can't seem to get secondary IPs to work?

Whats the easiest way to create a private server within a dedicated server running cpanel/WHM/Fantastico?
I need to allow this 'virtual server', to host up to 10 domains, and for them to use their own nameservers, not the ones used on my dedicated server.
I have 2 IPs to spare, but I have no idea on how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated, or if you can guide me on where to get info on this.
i need this new reseller NOT to be identified with my own server (IPs)

I have two servers, a plesk 11 installation and a plesk 12. Running Centos.
On the plesk 11, set up by others, I have a nameserver running NS1.xxxx.net & ns2.xxxx.net point to the IP of the server.
I want to create a nameserver on the plesk 12 -- can't see how to do this. Is there a nameserver setup function in plesk 12?
More advanced question:
The domain name xxx.net is hosted at 1&1 where I have put the IP of the plesk 11 server in the A records for ns1.xxxx.net and ns2.xxxx.net. I have pointed ns3.xxxx.net and ns4.xxx.net at the IP of the Plesk 12 server -- as I would like to use these addresses for consistency. If necessary, I'll use ns1/ns2.yyyy.net.

Starting point: a working site using a shared IPv4, dedicated IPv6, and SSL. HTTP and HTTPS work, the latter only using SNI of course.
The good news: If I simply allocate an IP resource of 1 to a subscription it is pulled from the pool, assigned to the service node, assigned to the web site, DNS is updated, and the site is automatically changed to using a Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6.
The bad news: visitors land on the default web site of the service node, with the default SSL certificate.
Other info: I can't ping the new IP, even though it shows in "ip a l" and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0. [edited]
After the IP assignment, it is still installed, and /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/domainname.conf shows the new certificate is being used.
However, a second set of VirtualHost entries is created in server.conf for this IP for ports 80 and 443, with NameVirtualHost enabled on the new IP. The port 443 entry uses the default certificate. Apache's setup this default VirtualHost entry will override the web site configuration because Apache is listening on port 443 with the wrong cert.
If I go to "Change webspace settings" and toggle to Shared IPv4, Dedicated IPv6 the site works again via HTTPS, and Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6 breaks it again. Setting the SSL cert to None and back again does not work.
Setting the SSL cert to None, changing to a dedicated IP, and enabling SSL results in the server being inexplicably inaccessible...browsers no longer connect to either the default site or the correct site, and I don't see any entries in the vhosts's logs.

On a clean install of CentOS 6.6 (Final) I did the following:
1. updated the /etc/hosts file to point my ip to the hostname
2. Open the ports in the iptables file.
3. ran the ppa_installer per the instructions on [URL] ....
The ppa_installer log says installed Successfully. However the following occurs:
1. Cannot browse to the url:8443, or any of the other variations (8080, 8880, https/http)
2. Yum installer is now broken (I replicated this twice). Yum will not run at all with the following error:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: file too short
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:

[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]
I am now going to try Cent OS 6.4.. will report back.

Today i setup a test environment. I have all fresh OS installs today. Management node is Centos 6.5 with PPA 11.5 update 2
I go to servers > add > choose IIS role. The Server is Windows 2012 R2, I have disabled Windows Firewall and disabled UAC, and rebooted it before trying to setup on PPA.
Enter IP and i get the following error.
Code:
Automated WinRM Enabling Failed
Error during WinRM enabling on '192.168.1.101'. Script exit code is 1. Script output (stdout/stderr): ERROR: Cannot open control pipe - NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
Failed to install winexesvc
/
Repair Connectivity
To make automated deployment possible please try to check network communications between Management and target nodes. Ensure that WMI is not blocked on a target node. Or copy, paste and invoke the following script on a target node.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinRM in" protocol=TCP dir=in profile=any localport=5985 remoteip=any localip=any action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="POA in" protocol=TCP dir=in profile=any localport=8352 remoteip=any localip=any action=allow
[code]...
However, it does create several roles in windows firewall so PPA can connect and sucessfully created X number of rules.I too disabled IPTables on management node.

I have server that has a SINGLE customer on it - this is not economical to run under PPA - how do I remove it from the PPA management and not disrupt the current site/email on it?
The plan is to run it on webmin - there is no way it can justify PPA for 1 site.

I have a pretty new install of PPA with a Windows 2012R2 IIS Web servers. I just noticed it has Java 1.7.0 Update 25 installed which has A LOT of vulnerabilities. Can I safely upgrade this?
Suggestion: If something is installed/required by PPA it should also be kept up2date by PPA.
This kind of stuff makes me quite worried about anything installed by PPA on any of my nodes including Linux.
Do you have a team at Odin that makes sure everything is up2date and safe?

In PPA is there a way to restrict what applications from the application catalog can be used for each server? Right now I have a hosting node that can install anything from the application catalog, but I can't find anywhere in PPA to specify what is available and what isn't. If I go to APS Applications and My Apps, Add App, and select "Select an app from Application Catalog", firstly no matter which browser I use, the OK/Cancel buttons disappear. I have to open the frame in its own tab to be able to use this properly. But even if I select an app and choose not to make it available, it can still be added from the customer's hosting panel. In Plesk 11 I can choose which applications are available to the customers. I can't find how to do the same thing in PPA.

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've created many vpn connections in the past using private ip addresses allocated automatically but I haven't really found much on making a vpn server that hands out a dedicated ip address.
The problem:
Basically, I have Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise and an extra public IP address that is unblocked from the internet. I have a private server (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 i386) sitting here at home that is behind many firewalls (both my isp and my own) that controls my x10 light system, etc.
I have custom written software so that within my home network, I can goto my server's IP address via a web browser and http address and bring up a control panel that controls my lights, etc. Everything works great, but when I'm on my mobile phone, I cannot access this nice control panel because it is on the internet outside of my home network.
I am wondering if there is a way to configure my public web server to act as a VPN server, accept public requests from this IP address and forward them onto my private home server that would have a vpn established 24x7. I haven't found much documentation on doing this, and I'm not entirely sure what to search for.
