Smooth Move 1&1 Strikes Again
Jul 27, 2007
Just when you thought a host could not possibly get any worse...
THEY DO! <snicker>
This time they have really, really outdone themselves. As many of you know..Plesk is not optional. You can remove it..but..like CP..it's not same as starting fresh.
Well..I login to my big one (The only one I've had problems with)
to see what poor webhostautomation was talking about. A new error...I had never seen it before..and I had attempted to install Helm on this brute many times before..before handing it over to them.
1&1 has added something...and it is the source of this new error..I am almost 100% sure of it. Today..I decided...I give up..ok...you force me to use Plesk..I'll use Plesk.
I try to login to Plesk..guess what..this new addition prevents Plesk from working. Brilliant job, folks!
You can remake it from the primary image..but..that will do you good.
Luckily, I have a backup that does not have this new crap on it...and are restoring the vps from this "clean" backup as we speak.

I'm not sure if this should go in this forum or not so admins feel free to move it to the appropriate place.
I am looking at moving to a new VPS host and was just wondering what the best method of moving sites over while having the least amount of downtime.
Is it better to set up the new VPS with new nameservers and then change the nameservers for each domain once ready to move the sites over, or should I keep the nameservers and just change the IP they point to when ready to switch?

When cpanel has apache 2.2 available. I am planning on switching my servers over to it and to SuPHP from mod_php. There are hundreds of accounts on my different servers and I am worried about the transition. I know cpanel has a permission conversion script, but I dont completely trust it. The biggest issue to me though, is all the users that have php_values and flags in their htaccess files that would then be needed converted to php.ini's. Has anyone created a conversion script for doing this in an automated fashion?
I might not even convert my full servers to this and just do with the partial ones (less than 25%), but I really think it would benefit the customers and myself with the nice added layer of protection of suphp.

I just thought I'd share this with y'all.
A while ago, I got into a flame-fest with a fellow named Jeremie, who was reselling VDSSource.ca services at astronomical prices (like more than what I pay for my half-rack). Just 12 hours ago (which places us at about midnight EST, or 9pm west-coast), I received two legal "threats", one from Jeremie and one from "Metraz Gstp", with identical content. Here's a copy:
Quote:
It has been brought to my attention that you have made several posting
on the internet.
I would like to advise you that you have 24 Hours to modify the posts that you have made regarding myself on various sites. We do live in a Country with freedom of expression, but you should have learned that there is a fine line between expression and defamation of character.
In 24 Hours, if such comments such as : "This Jeremie is about as professional as a crack dealer" are not corrected.
Legal Action will be commenced against you for Defamation of Character, and potentially other legal grounds.
I'll leave you to your own judgement. I'm trying hard not to choke laughing. Has anyone else been so fortunate?

Surf speedy offers 24/7 Support but, thats only if you want to wait 4-6 hours for a ticket reply! Then when you try to go on live support, they disconect you. Then when you try and call them, they hang up on you. Wow. >.<. I called them and talked to a lady named "Kathy" <<snipped>> I asked her If I could talk to someone in management rto resloved my problem she replied "Sorry, Im the only one working here at the moment." Now, they say then have a high clientel. If this is true more then one person has to answer thier call center phones.
So since then, I cancelled my servers and requested a refund.
They took 6 days to give a full refund back, when they advertise 24 Hours.

All index.php and index.html files on my server have been replaced with the "JaMaYcKa" hackers page. I was reading on WHT, and just about 10 days ago this happened to another member here.
I am using seeksadmin for system administration, and coincidently the guy who was hacked 10 days ago was also using seeksadmin. I believe there was another member here a month ago who was also hacked by "JaMaYcKa", and he was also a seeksadmin customer. I am not blaming seeksadmin in any way, they have helped a lot and I hope they can get this resolved.
Does anyone have any information on how to reverse/fix this issue? I am no system admin, just to put that out there, hence the reason I hired seeksadmin.
Here is the .bash_history from what the "JaMaYcKa" hacker did,
Quote:
cd /
pwd
/usr/sbin/useradd -o -u 0 -g 0 r00t -p ******************
passwd r00t
rm -rf tmp/
cd tmp
ls -a
unzip 1.zip
perl mass.pl /tmp/index.html
exit
According the the history, he ran some mass.pl script which would cause all index.php/html files to be changed (I am assuming). I have already removed the user "r00t" as seen above is what he created.
Any info on how to get this reversed (and if anyone else was using seeksadmin, let me know if they resolved your issue). I am currently waiting for an update from seeksadmin, so I'll update you guys once they reply to the ticket. Also to note I am using whmcs which contained the root password to this server; another user mentioned in another thread that if you were using whmcs/mb/ce/etc a hacker could get your root password, which of course if the password was not encrypted or the script had a glitch, the hacker could easily get your root password.

I have a reseller account with 20 or so accounts using WHM. I now have my own dedicated server loaded with WHM. I want to move the accounts to the new server, but WHM asks for the reseller server's root pass which of course I don't have.
I guy I knew transfered 1 account a few weeks ago, with the information I gave him. Unfortunately, I can't get back in touch with him.
How do I move these accounts?
I have my WHM access on my dedicated server. I have my reseller WHM access on my reseller server, but not root access on that server.

i run a vbuletin forum, right now i am on a virtual dedicated
All my ips are stored on the same root ip, i am moving one of my forums from the default IP to a separate IP. I populated the DNS and my webite shows up properly on the new IP, but my forum is comming up as a database error.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem? Or tools I can run? Or is it merely not connecting to the database yet, because of some name server or other issue?

I'm with Dreamhost right now.. got in on a cheap deal years ago. I've been too lazy to keep myself at the best host, but my friend keeps telling me to move over to Host Gator?
Should I? I'm just on one of the shared hosting plans. I run a Wordpress blog I find to be extremely slow on Dreamhost. Maybe I customized it too much or maybe they just totally oversell CPU resources. Do you think it would be wise to move over and expect an improvement?

I just moved a website I took over to a new host. The programmer hard-coded the DB in. The old code refers to the mediatemple address:
mysql_connect("internal-db.s5363.gridserver.com", "db5363", "-removed-") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db5363_bb", $link)
how I can configure this for the new (CPanel) IGX Host server?

What is the best hosting solution for a $600k/year company needing 100% uptime email and a simple (no forums or ecommerce) website?
The company does not need huge volumes of disk-space or bandwidth so a dedicated server seems to be overkill. That said, a $20/month shared package seems cheap.

I have been running a small web hosting business now for a couple of years, and have around 100 customers. This is all run through a reseller package with BPWeb.
Recently I decided to expand, and purchased another company. This one has nearer 200 customers, and is with EUK host with a dedicated server.
I am going to merge the two onto the dedicated, as I have Cpanel and WHM there. BPweb only offer their own custom control panel.
All my previous customers are hosting only, so I have no access to their nameservers. I need to as smoothly as possible move these customers across. I thought I'd move the domain that all their namesevers point to already over to the new dedicated server, and that should follow there. But how can I move content of these 200 accounts over. Simple webpages I'd just FTP, but things like Cron jobs and databases....

We are going to be moving our 10 Servers and various other equipment to a new facility here in Chicago. I have a few question I wanted to ask to backup my current thinking.
We are primarily a web host so all of out users either have their DNS set to our DNS server or they have a dedicated IP and an A record pointed to it. Currently we run a private NAT and have private IP's on the internal servers. The firewall handles the NAT'ing between the public and private IP's.
The primary question I have is if we change the IP address at our registrar for our DNS will the change still be subject to the 24-48 hours of propagation? Since we are not changing the NS records and only changing the IP's I would have to assume that his changeover should be fairly quick.
Two, im looking for the best way to setup our new cab are they any network admin photo gallery's?

When it is the time for moving from shared hosting to VPS?
May I know the signal for it? Maybe space, bandwith or other things?
Yes, I know the shared hosting provider will give notification when the time has came.
But usually it is very close and I must upgrade to VPS asap. So I do not have time to look around to get better deal.

I've been with LayeredTech and my yearly renewal is up. Their pricing went up significantly, so I'm shopping at SoftLayer amongst others. My site gets roughly 700k unique visitors and 1.8 million pageviews. These numbers will likely go up. I run vBulletin and Joomla dbs. I have two identical servers (one has cPanel). They are configured:
Dual Quad Core 5310 Intel XEON's 1.60 GHz-- Dual 73GB SCSI drives - 4GB RAM -- 8GB Cache.
The webserver uses Litespeed as an apache replacement.
Q: They are offering upgrades to either Xeon 5320 or 5335. Does anyone have a recommendation on either?
Q: I've heard that database servers don't necessarily need as much spec wise as webservers. Should I upgrade my webserver? Downgrade the mySQL server?
Unfortunately, I need to make this move today to get the pricing and put the wheels in motion, so I don't get billed by Layered Tech for 1 year of service.
