In WHM I'm trying to sync the server time with the time server. It displays the new time but it doesn't actually apply the new time to the server.
Also via ssh when I run
rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net
it says
rdate: rdate: could not set system time: Operation not permitted

View 0 Replies View RelatedRecently however it seems they're getting some bad press, most people are blaming growing pains.
As someone who's seen the before and after picture, i thought i'd chime in and actually put some positive notes on these boards, as I know these guys deserve more credit than this! It's one of those situations where if something goes wrong, people complain, if everything is right, not enough people speak up!
Server speed / specs:
one word: fantastic. i now have 2 VPSs with them - one in their new data center. I had moved the 2nd VPS from another host (also very well known on these boards, who I won't mention) where I had been having loads of issues regarding load and IO wait times. Load would spike up to 20+, server would crash, reboot, and this would happen 20+ times a day. Nothing critical on that server. Post-migration, using very very similar specs on futurehosting, and the load has been <0.10 since I started her up 3 days ago.
My current server sees load going up once in a while - during a large scale DOS attack last month the load only went up to 4, with over 1000 TCP connections. I only realized there was an issue as I checked one of my status scripts and noticed the enormous tcp count. I've recently moved to a new VPS on a new node, and load has been incredible, along with responsiveness.
No complaints at all on that front.
Network performance
Their old data center, softlayer, has much to be desired. There has been at least one outage every month so far which lasts in the hours duration. However, FH has made the very wise option of expanding out to a new datacenter and will hopefully slowly phase out softlayer, which has become quite pathetic. Connectivity wise though (speed/bandwidth) - no complaints.
Support
I remember getting a response within minutes months ago. However, that being said, months ago the customer service could only deal with the most basic of problems, and would escalate the issue if it was complicated, which would take time for a response.
FH did go through a growing pains phase a little while ago with regards to customer service - you wouldn't get a response too quick.
However now it seems they have begun improving. They are expanding their support base, and if you deal with the support guys you'll definitely be impressed by how dedicated and "hardcore" they are. Very recently I had a major issue with my server - it got compromised via root and someone wreaked havoc. Some script was installed that basically self-DOS'ed the server and basically killed it.
FH support instantly shut down the server and put me back up on my old server which I had migrated from only a week ago. They thoroughly went through and wiped clean my current server, fully bullet-proofed it and cleaned up the security of it all (something that was not a problem when they set it up - but rather my fault over time as I had disabled some very silly things I shouldn't have...) The guy working on the server, Jim, worked his *** off, pulled an all nighter (he was still responding to my tickets at 9am GMT, which was 4am his time - and I know he's not a night shift guy!). By the end of it all, he put me back onto my current newly-secured server, and was still revving to go, asking me what I wanted and to give him another challenge!
So, to sum this section--
good attitude: check
know-how: check
laziness: none.
I guarantee one thing - the vps company I just moved my 2nd vps from in this situation would not have spent an entire night rebuilding my server the way it was, but would've simply put me back on my old one week image, said "oh well, sorry, bad luck" and moved on.
All in all, my experience with these guys over the past couple of weeks (since the new data center opened) has been nothing short of positive, and I know they're rising out of the slight slump they had gotten themselves into.
I'll submit my URL to the mod to verify this post. And no, I don't work with FH
I'm trying to configure an custom access_log file for an custom file called "extra.php"
How I can make an log file that's log only "extra.php" ....
This is a rare issue i have on a RHEL 5.2 + cPanel server.
Server time is:
Tue Nov 11 17:02:51 CST 2008
Squirrelmail time show:
Code:
Last Refresh:
Tue, 5:02 pm
So, that is correct too..
But email arrives with -4 hours time, example:
webmaster@xxx.com 1:03 pm testing email
I already rebooted httpd, exim, and imap server, and the server itself too.. and problem stills.
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:
network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.
If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?
What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?
The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:
- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
- Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
- PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
- operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:
1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is:
[Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is:
[Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...
Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...
2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.
3.- The majority of the errors being logged are:
[Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]
I got report from webceo that I have some issues. May someone help me fix this?
DNS Lookup: 0.22 sec
Connect time: 0.33 sec
Host ping: 0.10 sec
That mean too slow with the other sites!
I have big problem, In my HyperVM i've change time to EUROPA/Sarajevo but in WHM still going 24 hours in forward. Please help me to resolve this. This is very important...

After being with KnownHost for a while, I decided to make the jump to a real Dedicated Server. KnownHost does offer a Hybrid Server -- but it isn't a real Dedicated Server. So I gave up my Hybrid at KH to experience the real thing.
After much research, I selected ManageMyBox (MMB)-- their current special is awesome with a managed Dual Core AMD with lots of disk space and generous bandwidth. My only concern about MMB was some of the discussion threads about their support, but if you read long enough, you will find the same support issues at all hosting companies.
I just wanted to let you guys know that so far in day two with MMB, I'm ecstatic to report that my server was set up correctly from the very beginning in less than the 24-48 hours they advertise (mine was less than 24 , and I have alrerady opened a support ticket to get another software installed -- and within 30 minutes, the software was installed and the ticket closed. This all happened tonight -- a Saturday night.
I'm not getting paid to post this -- but I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. I will report followups if things do take a turn for the worse, but so far, its not just good -- it's GREAT!
Week ago I decided to rent another dedicated box , install CentOS 5 64Bit and use LiteSpeed as a web server. What seemed to be trivial at start became nightmare later.
I was unable to compile PHP 5 with --with-litespeed and --with-curl directives. If I removed one of them it was ok but together it didn't work.
Tried to search forums but nothing helped, so I decided to go back to Centos 5 32bit and try there. It compiled OK.
So I'm in trouble now. I wanted to have server with 64bit OS + LiteSpeed because of its speed, system resources consumption and good DOS protection.
I asked several questions about advantages of 64bit over 32bit OS and the most important thing was how much issues can I expect on 64bit OS (libraries availability). Almost every reply said that it's without issues to go with 64bit OS. My experiences say it's not as easy as I expected.
I didn't find any good protection against DOS for Apache so far, mod_evasive doesn't work as I expected. What do you recommend ? Should I stay with apache on Centos 64bit + apache with everything installed via yum (should work OK) or go with CentOS 5 32bit + LiteSpeed there ? LiteSpeed I'm talking about is Enterprise edition.
i have a reseller package with a small company for like almost a year but now is full so decide to get a 2 servers from The Planet and now i all ready have 2 servers one is for sell hosting and my other is for install a script like youtube for a site videos .

How can we know that how long it takes our server to respond, in terms of Microseconds. Is it take long time while processing an Ms Access database or SQL Server, Sending flash movies to client.
For example, I can accomplish a task while reading data from server database , also I can accomplish it using an image or flash movie.
Which way should be efficient for my visitors, I am using a paid hosting plan.
Also I have another question.
How could I know that a web hosting provider company's server is a fast machine than other company. I have options like "WebHost Company1" & "WebHost Company2"
I host the same website on both servers, while I request some page in a client machine, How could I measure the efficency & speed of the server, I am sure both servers will not send content to client with same speed.
due to any reasons, may be 1 server has more traffic, has slow hardware, has longer route.
Also which technology is faster, ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, coldfusion. Is there some way to measure these facts about a webserver.
In these cases, how could I choose best server. How to made decession about that.
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.
Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service?
How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?
I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.
We've always used open source linux servers up until now. For a variety of reasons we're contemplating adding one windows box.
Is there much practical difference for the average small business between 2003 and 2008?
What's the difference between "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" windows servers?
How is most administration and regular tasks done? I'm used to sshing into my linux servers-- I'm assuming for windows this is gui based? What's the standard software used for this?
Thought of sharing this with all.
Issue:
Php function was returning wrong time. There was a difference of 1 hour between the server time and the php time. Due to this ,most of the functions on the site were not working properly.
Fix :
For checking the php time, put the following code in a file, say time.php
Code:
<?php
$time = time();
$result = date(”Y-m-d (D) H:i:s”,$time);
echo “Current date and local time on server = $result “;
?>
Execute the php script.
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# php -a time.php
Interactive mode enabled
Current date and local time on server = 2017-01-30 (Mon) 18:04:25
To get the server time , issue the following command :
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# date
Mon Jan 30 17:04:25 IST 2017
You can see the difference of one hour between the server time and the php time.
For fixing this, you need to install the PECL timezonedb module.
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# pecl install timezonedb
At the end , you might see the following message :
==========================
Build process completed successfully
Installing ‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/timezonedb.s o’
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/timezonedb-2009.6
configuration option “php_ini” is not set to php.ini location
You should add “extension=timezonedb.so” to php.ini
==========================
So , add the line ” extension=timezonedb.so” to the php.ini file and restart apache.
There shouldn’t be any mismatch in time now.
Is there anyone here who is with server.lu dedicated servers.
I have submitted some ticket via my.server.lu - and have not got any respons since 26.03.2009 - 20.59.
Is that normal?
Would then like to say, that I in no way, is dissatisfied with the services provided. It is only the response time I ask for.
I have a dedicated server that I am renting that appears to randomly respond very slowly for some reason (pings are between 90-4000ms with about 75% packet loss).
This has been happening lately (about once a week for the past 4 weeks) and I thought I had originally found the cause of the problem but it appears I haven't.
Originally, when this problem was happening we were getting an abnormally high about of traffic but a reboot always fixed the issue. I've checked every where I can think of but I cannot find anything out of the ordinary.
ight now we're averaging less than 2Mbps in traffic, the CPU load is less than 0.75, the memory usage is at 55% with no swap being used, Apache connections are normal, no active SSH, FTP, or mail connections, I've restarted all services which had no impact, I've checked the access and error logs but can't see anything out of the ordinary.
I have a ticket open with the data center but I'm trying to figure this out on my own to fix whatever is causing this so I can move my data over to a new server we just got setup over the weekend in a local data center.
How long is a acceptable waiting time? just signed up to Dedishack - yesterday, Monday and been told I need to wait till Thursday.
Acceptable waiting time?
Not in a rush and I am not complaining just curious. First time I have had to wait for a dedicated server should be worth the wait though.
During the last couple of weeks my main server has started acting weird.
Sometimes(often) when accessing my site, I get a page saying that server or location could not be found. Reload and "bam" page loads again. Average load on the server is 0.50
When executing scripts (I.E uploading files using web2ftp or cp file manager) server shuts the connection after a few seconds and say page cannot be found.
I set the execution time in php to 60sec, so this is not the issue.
When I ping the server, I do not get any packet losses.
I have been with Page-Zone for a couple years now. Just the past year I have had little problems with them.
-For instance once I was trying to update my website and their server went down. I thought it was something on my end so I started trouble shooting it for an hour and then it came back up.
-Another time the users on my website were without e-mail for a week, because they changed IP address.
-And finally the e-mail accounts couldn't receive any e-mails from Comcast, MSN, or Hotmail accounts. So I ended up setting up a Google Aps account for us to use for e-mail.
Granted they are very cheap but I have been having many problems with little support. Also today I just noticed that in the whois it lists Network Solutions as the technical contact. Are these things that I should be looking for a new host for?
we have a server that was breeched and is being used to send ddos attacks to another website and we need to stop it permanently and secure our server to avoid it from happening again.
My tech has already been able to track down the bot/script that was sending it and seemed to stop it for about a week, but they have gained access to the server again.
He is not an expert at security issues so I'm looking to hire someone for a one time job to correct this issue.
Can someone offer me some referrals of someone to take care of this. Please do not recommend Rack911 as I waited nearly a week for their assistance and had no luck.
I recently made a shift to FDC for one of my servers that I use for downloadable content.
I went for a $199 server with a 100mbps shared bandwidth port. Now, the only problem I seem to be having with it is that downloads appear to be, I would say recognized, very slowly by the server before they start, however, once the download starts I get a full speed. This usually happens during peak times.
I'm using about 10/15mbps on the server according to my cPanel statistics. I just wanted to ask here prior to contacting FDC on this, whether this slow server response time has something to do with the bandwidth port, or perhaps the server's RAM, CPU, etc? Given I'm using quite minimal bandwidth on the port, should I consider having them fix this or upgrade the server instead?
And if I had to upgrade, would I need to upgrade the port or the RAM, or both for this?
