Im running Cpanel 11 Release (stage 2) and i was wondering if you can setup WHM so that when an account is created, it automatically has:
A default generic SPF record
suphp_ConfigPath set for custom php.ini (/home/username/php.ini)
Custom session.save_path for php (/home/username/tmp)
Create /home/username/tmp folder
I think thats about it for now. Any ideas? I know about zone templates, but they dont seem to fit this bill. They might work for the SPF records though.
I'm curious, how do you all Cpanel server owners setup reseller accounts for clients? I find myself doing it this way (providing 2 static IP's, for ns1/ns2)
1. create reseller account 2. ssh > edit nameserverips and manually add ns1/ns2 to the two select IP's of choice 3. change account IP to first main static IP, in whm
Any one else do it this way, or another method? I use WHMCS also, which creates the account automatically, but I have to edit nameserverips and appy ns1/ns2 manually in whm (A dns zone) manually.
Also, I'm wanting to upgrade some of the PHP 4 / MYSQL 4 boxes to PHP 5 / MYSQL 5. Is it worth it, or not? If yes, what methods could I use to assure no side effects for some clients' scripts, or at least some method to help them should an issue arise?
How long does it normally take to get a shared account setup with a hosting provider? I am now in my 5th day and still have not had the account setup. I have made my DNS changes and I just keep getting email responses that it is coming. Should I be worried or is a week the normal response time in a shared environment?
Someone setup a phishing site at gmail-webhost.com on my server.
He set up using the root account.
Since then I changed my root password. Do you think there's a chance he installed some back door that he can access root again even though I change the root password?
Whats the turnaround time for liqudweb? They had called me and confirmed my account is verified but thats more than 14 hrs back and yet no sign of getting information about the new account setup.
When I called customer support line, the guy "not sure when the account will be setup "
Our domain is hosted with a cPanel based shared hosting company only for website.
We have an Exchange 2003 server that is assigned with two dedicated IP's provided by our ISP with rDNS configured. So all outgoing emails are send using these two ISP lines and all works fine.
Since we are going to change the ISP, and the new ISP is refusing to set rDNS we are going to use our cPanel based shared hosting account to send our mails - so we will be configuring our Exhcnage 2003 to [smarthost] to forward all the emails to the hosting server.
I need to what I have to do in the cPanel account to make this work.
I have a VPS server now with 1and1.com (no wait times with tech support, and very friendly and helpful), only problem is... they haven't been able to help me resolve one of my problems.
My client has their domain registered with Network Solutions. I've already changed the DNS settings to point to my VPS where I've created the domain within Plesk. I can log into my FTP, change the site, yadda yadda yadda just like any other site. So everything works there!
Now, when I create an email account in Plesk I put in my user/pass etc... and create an email account... Great, awesome.
I go into Outlook and put in the email information, incoming/outgoing mail settings, user/pass, etc... and nothing works... It pops up and pretty much nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong for this to not work? Do I have to create a sub domain within Plesk for my domain? If so, I've already done that.
Must I change something over at Network Solutions to reflect the mail server? If so, I've added the MX records of mail.mydomain.com with prio of 10.
I have a VPS account with WHM/Cpanel console access. I have three domains that I am trying to setup. Within WHM I have setup three different accounts, one for each domain. I am able to login to the cPanel for all three accounts. This also created a new web directory for each domain in /home/domain_name/public_html/. I have placed my default index.php in all three public_html with the same permissions. But only 1 domain is working the other two are not. What am I missing? I have confirmed that all three have the correct DNS servers with godaddy and I can do an nslookup on all three. My provider told me to share the IP so that is what I am configured as..
I have a virtual dedicated server which i currently host a couple of clients websites on, the control panel i am using is Simple Control Panel.
What i would like is an automated program or script that automatically sets up a users FTP access and creates a directory with a mysql database - I also require it to bill the customer on a monthly basis and if no payment is received from the customer the account then goes offline (but is not deleted)
how i can set this up and what is the best thing to use.
Not sure if I labeled that correctly, but I am looking to setup a multi-server where I offer a cloud ssd hosting plan, and sata hosting plan. The current setup has ssd hosting, but id like to add another ip address, as well as its hard drive to host other websites on that specific server, which is sata based.
For example, I add a domain to my plesk 12 admin account and choose the added Ip address (the sata based one), where it points to that server to access the files for that specific website.
At the moment, cloudflare handles all of my dns settings.. but I am totally lost on how this needs to be setup and if I am required to purchase another plesk license. I am trying to avoid purchasing another plesk license and having to setup a whole new plesk installation just to do this.. This is a vps by the way, not a dedicated server...
I registered a domain name and setup a Linux server on GoDaddy, choosing Plesk panel with Power Pack. Inside the panel I created an email address, which I can access from the webmail interface without problems. I decided to setup my clients as well, using the IMAP configuration, as I'm using multiple devices.
I followed the instructions for Outlook express and I was able to setup the account on my virtual machine, with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.Though, speaking of the host machine, a MacBook Pro, I normally use Apple Mail that comes with MacOS. Instructions for setting up Mail are updated back to Snow Leopard at least and they do not work properly. I tried various configurations, but I was only able to receive mail on the account, while sending won't work at all.
I'd like Parallels to update the guide or, at least, to open a KB page with the solution(s) to this issue: I googled it and found out that it is a common issue.
i saw a website template that i would like to purchase. i can change the contents of the template to whatever i like. i can also register a URL and have it hosted. my question is..... how do i get the template to show on the URL? do i need to know HTML?
I'm having Virtuozzo vps template issues (now known as "Parallel").
I downloaded the ubuntu ez template and ran the below accordingly after wget'ing the template files in root mode of the *node*
vzpkg create cache
It was going just fine, until this in the end

web host that offers a shared hotsing account that allows users to install or already have installled perl modules like mod_perl and template toolkit using cpanel.
I am currently in the process of migrating a few hundred domains from one server to another using Plesk's Migration & Transfer Manager. The servers have the following name servers allocated:
Server 1: ns9.example.com & ns2.example.com Server 2: ns1.example.com & ns2.example.com
In the DNS Zone Template in Tools & Settings on Server 2, can I just click Apply DNS Template Changes and change all migrated domains NS records to ns1/ns2? Will this affect custom DNS entries as a lot of the domains have DNS changes that need to remain. I'm just hoping that this might be a quicker way than going into each domains DNS zone and manually changing ns9 to ns1.
I just really don't want all the domains DNS zones to reset to the standard template on Server 2 ...
I have a friend who needs to setup about 3 websites with a template builder type hosting solution. I personally have space at hostgator, but they only allow their template program (sitebuilder) to be used with your topmost domain, so I cannot refer my friend to hostgator.
Does anyone know of an inexpensive (<$10 per month) host that has some sort of built in sitebuilder/template program that will allow hosting of multiple sites running the template application under the same account?
