Web Hosting :: Steps To Get EMail Working On A Home Server (Windows, Apache)

Email Stopped Working On Server
Recently I noticed that I was not getting any email on my server.
Server is running CentOS

When I send email to myself I am not getting anything and then it bounces back several days later saying the server is not responding.

When I check on Dnsstuff.com I get the following:
Trying to connect to all mailservers:

mail.webzila.com. - 216.32.77.68 [Could not connect: Could not receive data: Operation timed out.]

[Note that if your mailserver takes over 30 seconds to respond, our test will timeout, even though real mailservers will wait longer]

I tried turning mail services OFF and then ON again in Plesk but that didnt help.

CPanel/WHM Server - Email Not Working
Just got a new server online this week from VolumeDrive, and everything has been going just fine with my initial setup. I transferred over 7 domains from another cPanel/WHM machine and the transfer feature worked flawlessly.

Since I use Gmail for most of my communication, I haven't even had any email accounts setup on any of my domains in quite sometime. So knowing that I need a few setup for various correspondence, I went ahead and set one up tonight. I've setup and used mailboxes on cPanel machines before, and it's not exactly rocket science... pretty easy stuff.

But what's weird here is that when I attempt to click on the "Webmail" icon from directly within cPanel, the Horde login fails over and over again. Then, if I setup the account in Thunderbird or Outlook using the CORRECT account information (username@domain.com as the login -- and the appropriate password/server settings), the client login fails also.

To add to this weird behavior, I sent myself an email at the newly setup address with a 2mb attachment. Obviously I can't login to the account to see if the mail arrived, but at least it didn't bounce.

However, when I'm in cPanel under this domain and go to "Email Accounts", I'm showing "0 Bytes" for usage under the account where i know there should be at least 2mb worth of usage.

Server Compromised – Steps For Recovery
one of the worst things (in hosting) has happened. I received a notice this morning from lfd (configserver) that someone had logged into my server as root and it wasn’t me.

Unfortunately I didn’t notice it until eight hours later so I have no idea (yet) what happened during that period. Thankfully I don’t have any really critical data on the system that could have been stolen.

I’m in the process of restoring from a full system backup right now. After that’s done I’m going to look to see what the differences are between the files from the backup and that on the comprised drive. I’m not sure if I’ll get anything useful from the diff but hopefully I’ll find a clue as to how they got root access.

Then of course I need to get my server back up. However, I don’t want to do this until I’ve taken some steps to identify how the individual got in and take some additional preventative steps.

Here’s what I am planning on doing:

1) Check to make sure all exposed services are patched and look at some security sites to see if there are any known vulnerabilities for these services. Anyone know which sites are good to look at?

2) Change firewall to only allow ssh access from a couple specific IP addresses.

3) Disable root ssh access so I have to login via a different account and perform sudos, etc.

4)?

I’ll also look for a good server-hardening guide to see if there are some obvious things I forgot to secure.

Do any of you find folks have any other suggestions or resources that I should check out?

Apache Server On Windows VPS
I recently had to move my site from Linux to Windows hosting because I was adding an application that requires ASP.NET. The problem is the server that it uses (Windows iis) makes other parts of my site not work.

So my programer recommended using an Apache server with my Windows VPS (or hosting - I have no specific preference of either VPS or hosting) -

Does anyone know a hosting company that does this? Offers Windows hosting with an Apache server?

How To Track Email That Is Not Working
how exactly email works. For example, I set my mx record to google apps in order to use google mail with my own domain. Thing is, I can sent from google mail now with my domain email address but cannot send. Furthermore, login to my website email bij www.domain.com/webmail is possible but receiving is impossible and even sending email from that place will not work.

Thinking about it it seems that email is lost
google can send but not receive
from my domain webmail i cannot receive nor send.

SSL Not Working On Apache 2
I have Fedora Core 6 with Apache 2. Im trying to generate a local SSL certificate but the folders ssl.key and ssl.crt are missing from the /etc/apache/conf folder. I installed mod-ssl and openssl and still same issue. What am I missing? Im installing everything through yum. I searched the whole drive and there is no folder called ssl.key or ssl.crt anywhere on the system. And right now I cant get port 443 work via the virtualhost config in httpd.conf:

NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mainsite
ServerName mainsite.com
</VirtualHost>

After restarting apache and going to the mainsite via https it gives me the normal this is not a trusted certificate, I click ok and it takes me to /var/www/html/ instead of /var/www/html/mainsite. I was assuming because I dont have ssl setup correctly.

Cron - Not Working - Apache
I did not realize the significance of the Apache sub-forum. I thought perhaps this would be a more general Server management query, but I realize now I should have posted in Apache forum.

I have been banging my head against the wall for the last couple of days trying to get cron jobs working. It's actually making me quite depressed, a lot of people are waiting on me to get this working, and for the life of me I see no light. I'm not a stupid person, i'm a PHP developer, and have some linux skills. This is the single most annoying issue I have had to deal with simply because I cannot find any troubleshooting methods to my issue.

I have tried every different combination of command under the sun and I cannot get any sign that the cron is running the commands.

I own a "virtual" dedicated server with a hosting company, I have full root access. Linux / Apache

The script file is a PHP file which simply mail() an email saying that cron is working, I am yet to receive this mail that was executed by cron.

I have ensured there are no errors in this simple PHP file, I have executed the script from the shell and all is well there..

So, firstly I tried to setup the cron table from CPanel, on the account where the script resides.

I used the following command combinations:
Code:
0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * cd "/home/username/public_html/"; php cron.php
0-59 * * * * wget [url]
with time combinations of:
* * * * *
to get the command to be executed evey minute, for testing purposes.

All these commands work fine when executed through the shell.

I set the mail address for cron output to be my mail address also.

I do not get any mail from cpanel with an overview of the cron executions.

I then gave up trying to get cron to work on that account, and decided to go root.

I logged into the shell via root, checked the cron table for root. I edited the root cron table (that contains commands for various cpanel scripts etc) to include a command to execute the php script, even with the script residing on the root directory.

I also added MAILTO="myemail@email.com" to the first line of the cron table.

I do not get any emails of the cron actions.

How can I check if the cron scheduler is working when I get no sign that the cron commands are being executed, and when I do not receive any cron emails? What methods are there for me to troubleshoot this issue?

Could it be possible that cron shedular is not active on my server?

I have lurked the net with great detail to find any method to troubleshoot my issue, and all the related pages I find are to do with troubleshooting the commands. I know my commands are fine, there is some other issue here.

Used Apache Update/some PHP Scripts No Longer Working
Having some issues here, I used Apache Update to install WHMCS as I didn't have Curl installed. Well had some issues using the username and password as it couldn't connect to the database, my modernbill and phpnuke scripts still work but some other scripts like joomla, some shopping cart software, and other MYSQL scripts are not working.

I've run test scripts to see if I can connect to the database, got the following error with the PHP test script

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'data_invoice'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/data/public_html/test2.php on line 4
I cannot connect to the database because:Access denied for user 'data_invoice'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Also attempted it in SSH and getting a similar error that access is denied. Username and password are correct. I believe I upgraded PHP which my guess is what caused this. I've searched the forum for a few solutions and I had the problem in the past which I fixed it, but it's been a while.

Great Success, Apache Is Working After Subdomain DNS Configuration
So here's my situation: I have a rented vent server, that I wanted to point vent.mydomain.com to the IP of said vent server. I put an A record in the dns pointing to the server and all is well. When I type vent.mydomain.com into a browser it take me to the cPanel/WHM page saying "Great Success, Apache is working". Is it possible that I can somehow have that get redirected to the main site or no?

Basically if Im connecting with the vent client, I want it forwarded to the vents IP, otherwise I want to have it redirected to mydomain.com.

New Company: First Technical Steps
I have moderate experience in administrating. I recently got a quarter cabinet, and I have 2 servers in there.

I have registered a company name, as a domain which is currently hosted at GoDaddy (www/mail) (mydomain.com)

But I have installed centos5 on one server, and called it web1.mydomain.com, added the web1 CNAME in GoDaddy's DNS control. Even did an rDNS to it through my provider.

I have installed Webmin on it to help me add virtual servers (who will be my customers)
And web1.mydomain.com has a mail server on it (Postfix).
Might even put DNS on it. These virtual servers will send emails as well (as I'll be hosting them)

But for now, what will be my next steps in getting my mail server (or the main server) accepted in the web world, for example, I've done SPF records, and rDNS. But what else do I need to do so my email is accepted everywhere?

The virtual domains will be sending mail using the postfix, and ofcourse it'll mean they're piggybacking on web1.mydomain.com, so I guess I need to do stuff so email from web1.mydomain.com will be accepted worldwide.

Want To Ban Spammers? 8 Easy Steps
1. Install CSF

2. Install Iptables if it's not installed (apt-get install iptables on redhat/centos)

3. In WHM under "# ConfigServer Security&Firewall" click on firewall deny ips

4. Open a 2nd window, Goto Main >> Server Status >> Apache Status

5. Check if there are any spammers with lots of connections to a specific file, that's how I got a lot of the IP's.

6. Goto http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=99.225.243.201

7. Enter the IP you found at "Server Status" and enter it at ws.arin.net to get the proper CIDR which you can easily add to your CSF deny hosts file (which is open in another window)

8. Get a tea and watch the server status closely.

Moving To Hostgator - Migration Steps
I've been with midphase/autica on a $10 reseller plan for several years, but I think it's time for a change. I have a personal site, and 2 small business websites.

I think I'm just going to sign up for a shared hosting plan, as I really don't need the separate cpanel access for each domain.

These are the migration steps as I understand them. Am I missing anything?

1. Sign up with hostgator

2. Set up main domain and 2 other domains.

3. FTP over all files and folders, including mail folders.

4. Set up email addresses with new host

5. Go to my registrar (namecheap) and change the name server from old to new (that hostgator gave me).

Is that about it? Am I missing any critical steps? Mainly, I just don't want to miss any emails. According to the chat at hostgator, once I switch the name servers, the change should be instantaneous. True?

Best Steps When Resold Hosting Goes Offline
I resell hosting and for the first time in 10 years, the hosting company's servers have gone down and my clients sites are currently down, including email (ouch!).

Any experience with this or suggestions on how to communicate and rectify the situation with my customers? None of them are doing major ecommerce so I don't think there is a significant loss of sales, but regardless, their site is down. I take pride in providing great service and want to be straight up with them and more than fair.

I was thinking of extending their current hosting and acquiring a backup host in the rare event that this happens again so at least their site will be live, even if email is not.

Home Server ...
I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one).

I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.)

So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?

Setting Up My Own Server At Home
So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far.

He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+.

I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit.

I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Does anyone run a server from their house? What kind of internet connection do you have?

I'm guessing most people don't do this because they find out it cost way to much to get a special connection ran to their house. Colocation might be the only way to go.

That is where my question starts, what home connection should I have in order to stream live video at 200 kbps to over 5000 clients?

Which OS For Home Web Server
I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home.

I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers?

Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?

Sending Email To Another Server When The Email Address Domain Is On This Server
I currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).

This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.

Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.

On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.

What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.
