Weekly Offsite CPanel Backup Process Crashing Apache/bind
Mar 19, 2007
Right now I am using the built-in cpanel backup feature to backup all the accounts on my server to an offsite FTP backup account I have on a weekly basis. The problem I am having is that everytime the backup runs, the load (thats what I'm guessing is the cause) is crashing apache/bind, causing sites to be unreachable until I can restart the services. What options do I have to resolve this issue? Currently I already have spri installed, and it does help out a bit, but its still not enough.

Cpanel weekly and monthly backups are not exactly an state of the art scripts. Daily backups would be just ok, on the low range of quality, but ok. However when talking about the monthly or weekly copies the rsync process raises so much the load on the server that it is just a waste of time and resources.
I do not want to sacrify any of both backups. However I would like to know if anybody has found an alternate script to manage cPanel backups and substitute cPanel's build in script. Even better, something that does incremental over the month start and we can have daily for all days of the month, not just last friday or last month.

My IIS W3Log File is under C:Inetpubw3LogFilesW3SVC1
looks like this which is daily log file:
C:Inetpubw3LogFilesW3SVC1ex081022.log
C:Inetpubw3LogFilesW3SVC1ex081023.log
C:Inetpubw3LogFilesW3SVC1ex081024.log
All my web site is under c:InetpubVS
c:InetpubVSWebSite1.com
c:InetpubVSWebSite2.com
c:InetpubVSWebSite3.com
There is a webalizer directory under each domain folder.
Does anyone know how to setup a webalizer which can run weekly to process W3log files and put the result into corresponding domain webalizer folder?

Lately on one of my servers I noticed everytime I try to modify an account or quota, the quotaon process goes to 100% cpu, server load gets to about 30, and if I tried to modify multiple quotas it would basically become unresponsive.
It all seemed to have started after stage2 upgrade.
I havent seen any errors from the filesystem or even any errors in messages after it does this.

I've a question about cpbackup.
On certain days web server starts taking both weekly and daily backups.
Is there anyway I can arrange such that when there is a day for weekly backup, it doesn't take daily backup.

I have a server in UK and i want to make daily offsite backups to a remote location using rsync or other similar software.
My idea is to buy a backup server in USA, but i dont know if is going to work well/fast because of the long distance between UK and USA (latency).
So any experiences making backups from UK > USA?
What do you think, can i buy a backup server in USA or if i want to have fast/reliable backups i have to buy a server also in uk because of the distance?

Razorservers.com provide offsite backup service that can be used for not only servers but also PCs, Mac, linux, Windows, Solaris, etc. Think that must be useful for many web masters.
Does your host provide the same?

Does anyone here know of any offsite backup companies based in the UK?
I've recently moved my server from Texas to London and want to use an ftp/rsync offsite backup space with a company in the UK

leave LayeredTech completely, including Dynavol.
My new host I've chosen doesn't have backup services, but no big deal. I'd like to know what people out there use (Company and Specific Services) for off site backup of their servers.
I can either do push or pull. I liked how Dynavol worked. I guess if that's the best option I could keep LT strictly for Dynavol, but looking to see what others think.

I have a VPS with remote backup that I dod every night with rsync.
Now, for further SEO testing, Im looking into a reseller account.
Some reseller plan do offer access via SSH. Im not familiar with this ssh access for a reseller. Would I still be able to program a cpanel backup and then rsync all my cpanel backup ?

running my own servers but i have been hosting websites for a years now using a dedi server in the USA through c-Panel, now i am looking to offer my clients offsite backup to a local server at my end, offering small to large packages of bandwidth and storage.
Anyway i have all that sorted the thing is i had a webpage developer create the pages for me and configure it to my ip address (as im not using a domain name for this server) the problem im having is hosting these pages on my centOS 5 server setting up apache, ftp, etc. i require a username and password for each of my clients and when they log in they will be displayed with there file inventory including the files they have uploaded, where that is the other problem i am having creating username and passwords for each of my clients what would be the best software that could do this? remember these backups are via ftp and a web based interface for files up to 500mb but to use a ftp program i will still need to create a username and password for each of my clients

I have a managed dedicated server at a co-location. While the service I pay for runs the Cpanel backup function, I feel I need to provide a better service to my customers by creating an exact duplicate(image) of the drive itself. I don’t want my customers to lose their databases and web site information.
I need help with creating a Plan B. The plan I thought might work, would be to get a workstation, download Acronis and make an image of my dedicated server on a scheduled basis.
The reasons I thought this was a good idea:
1) I would have the image in my hands(my control), should something happen to my main hosting server.
2) It would create a complete off-site back-up.
3) It seemed cost effective.
What if Scenario:
So my main hosting server gets taken away in a hurricane and the data center will not be up and running for 3 months. I have an image of the hard disk, now what do I do with it?

I have two VPS's, VPS1 has one vbulletin community. VPS2 has about 10 cpanel accounts, mostly email, a blog site, etc. Both VPS's well under 10 gig in size not including any backups stored on the VPS.
For the more important VPS, VPS1, I am packaging the cpanel account (50mb) and SCPing it to VPS2.
I am also running pckgacct on the cpanel accounts on VPS2 (about 2 gig total, 1 tar.gz is 1.5gb, three others around 250mb, others smaller) and storing them on VPS2.
I then have WS_FTP scheduled to download the cpanel tar.gz files each night to a local machine.
I also have WHM setup to do daily incremental backups, but am not moving any of these offsite.
So, it seems I have three options:
Keep doing what I am doing.
Keep moving VPS1 tar.gz files to VPS2, but also start moving VPS2 tar.gz files to VPS1.
Start moving tar.gz files (or raw files with rsync) to offsite storage.
I'm curious on some feedback about the three options. These are personal sites, I am not reselling any sites/packages.
It seems like from a data security standpoint (email and stuff), the more 'locations' introduced into the loop, the less security there will be. Does anyone get concerned about moving their email and other data to offsite storage services?
As I said, I have a technical solution currently working, but I am wondering about the theory/data protection aspects of the various options for going forward.

I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment)
I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up?
Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

my box has 2 ip's on it. venet0 and venet0:1. Apache is binding to both ip's. I only want it to bind to one IP and leave the other one free (on port 80 at least), before i go in and edit the apache config files by hand, is there any way to ensure i dont break anything in cPanel by doing this (i.e. are there any dependencies or does cPanel even have an intermidiate config for doing this)?

I've been having problems for the past two weeks. Apache and MySQL kept crashing. I tweaked MySQL, and MySQL stopped crashing. But Apache still crashes, sometimes twice a day, sometimes once every few days. It's driving me crazy. It started around the same time I acquired a new customer, so it's possible the customer has some sort of script or something that is causing problems, but I'm not quite sure how to determine whether the problem is the server itself, or if it's the customer.
So here am I, asking you experts for whatever assistance you feel willing to render. Even if you only merely read it, I thank you for at the very least taking the time to read it. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance given. That being said, here's the information the "How To: Request help from the experts" sticky recommended giving. I also took the liberty of including httpd.conf and my.cnf. I apologize if that resulted in being too much information, and humbly ask a moderator to "white out", or so to speak, (or at least point out) the information that shouldn't be shown.

httpd 2.4.4 x64 with php 5.5 x64 and mysql 5.6 x64, it worked just fine the first few days, but after a week or so, I'm starting to get this error:
[mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 1928:tid 552] AH00428: Parent: child process 8092 exited with status 255 -- Restarting.
What can cause that and how can I fix it?

i have custom dll built with Delphi that used to work on IIS 5/6/7. After i migrated to apache, DLL started to crash after an hour or two and i have to restart the server. The error was something about bad header. Since the developer says DLL is handling reponses OK and i can't get anything with debug logging on apache side can i run DLL as CFG/FastCGI (not that versed with apache so maybe this question does not make sense)?

I've got a complicated problem and I can't figure out what I need to edit to fix this.
I've been messing with the httpd.conf and php.ini files trying to optimize them as best I can. I've managed to get the load to stay pretty low all day, and everything seemed to be working fine. But then apache crashes.
(See screenshot for details)
httpd starts out with 70-150 VIRT memory, and it constantly goes up all day, and I've yet to see it go down. And, eventually it just crashes Apache! In the screenshot it's 502m, but I've seen that get as high as 800! And sometimes I even see a number like this "80376" no "m" or anything, just "80376"; I've no idea what that's about.
So what do I need to edit or tweak to fix this?
I'm on a cPanel linux server, Apache 2.2.8 and PHP 5.2.6.

It's been happening on both my old and new server, was really hoping this would be fixed.
Basically, the httpd/apache service crashes or goes down making domain names and sites unable to load; although cPanel/WHM still accessible. This would go on for about 5 minutes OR until I restart httpd in root.
sites simply do not load or just timeout after a period of time.
This has become extremely annoying for both me and my clients because it makes it seem like we have downtime.

Apache keeps increasing processes and when it reaches 256 value, it crashes. These are the values from our conf file. This doenst happen everyday, it occurs once or twice a week and at random timing.
Timeout 120
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 15
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 20
ServerLimit 256
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>
I enabled server-status and found request for index.html, is holding the processes. Only thing i see in access logs is ""OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)""

I am trying to encrypt my session using the following directive
Session On
SessionCookieName session path=/
SessionCryptoPassPhrase sec
We are using form based authentication.
use of SessionCryptoPassPhrase crashes the server. If I dont use that directive it does not encrypt and works fine.
I see this error in application event log
Faulting application httpd.exe, version 2.4.2.0, faulting module libaprutil-1.dll, version 1.4.1.0, fault address 0x00002f14.
