I'm trying to get to my server using putty but when i enter my root password is says its invalid when i know its valid because i can login with it in WHM.
Im at work, and im trying to use putty behind a proxy. Im guessing they have L3 managed switched as I cannot just connect a server like I wiuld normally at home.
They are using a windows proxy (port 8080) so im guessing ISA...
I have read that although chained root ssl certificates can be more difficult to install they are actually more secure since the root certificate cannot be compromised, only the intermediary.
Is this true? It looks like both google and amazon both use chained SGC certs.
I’ve just switched to a deticated server. I have backups of sites I need to move over and restore. cPanel has a “Restore a Full Backup/cpmove” option. Two questions…
1) How do I upload the back up file to the /home directory of my deticated server?
2) If the backup file is under a current client “/home/clienta” how do I restore it?
I've setup my ssh to login with keys and passphrase. I would like to do away with passphrases by using agent forwarding. Putty uses Pageant to store private keys, bu from all the tutorials I can find, it's a windows based feature (to add private keys). I've also tried to use ssh-add (a different agent), but it has trouble recognizing my private key passphrase (made with putty). I know the private key is working because I'm able to use use ssh without a password, just the phrase.
What's the best way to do this? Is there a putty pageant command line that I don't know about?
what is difference working as root and su root in SSH.?
Many recommend disabling logging as root, but lot many commands ( service, adduser, ifconfig and ...) are not working on the commandline under when logged as su. i feel like my hands are tied working as su root and many commands are not available.
why is it like that? is there any way i can feel comfortable logging as su similar like root login.
I just recently had someone from this forum install CentOS for me with ISPconfig and required modules to successfully run PHPmotion. However, the only FTP I can access are the ones I create FTP for in ISPconfig, such as web1_admin, web1_testuser, etc.
When installing a CentOS server with ISPconfig, isn't there a root to log into the FTP?
With the FTP accounts that I have, I cannot access public and home directory such as /var/www directories.
Is there suppose to be an account for FTP so I can succcessfully overlook the whole server?
I want to take a look at all the websites I have such as /var/www/www.test1.com, /var/www/www.test2.com, etc. all through FTP. However, I cannot do this. It's almost like I have no Admin power over my server.
He did not provide me with a root FTP account or any super admin FTP account. I am not sure if something suspicious is going on or not. Please help. I do not want to get hacked in and stolen files.
I have a problem that after i su to root, i can't use some commands:

But when i come to that machine and log in, i can use those commands just fine. That machine is about 20 fts away from my desk.
I got into my root and i created a CS server BUT after closing my root from my home the cs server goes down. can u tell me how to fix this ? i cant keep my root open for a life time, how much bandwitch does a ful 20 man Pub use in a month average?
I have a server that I have a few domains on, and I have a question about the root domain. I initially picked any old domain, so now all of my name servers are pointing to this one random domain. I have since purchased a few more premium domains, and am wondering if I should change the nameservers to be the more premium domains? Does this matter? Should I have my "main site" be the root domain? Just trying to understand what the implications could be for me.
I have a VPS and have a problem regarding the SSL certificate cPanel uses for secure connections (webmail, WHM etc..) my original hostname was set to server.simschr.co.uk but then I changed it to another name. However on the SSL certificate it states the old hostname, which I have been told is a bit of a pain. I wondered if there was anyway to change the common name, maybe by editing the certificate on the server?
