- Cpanel (I do this everytime security releases are out)
- Firewall (Anyone know what the latest version for APF is, or how to figure it out?)
I know how to figure out what version I have, just not the latest release.
Any programs you recommend for monitoring? I am looking for something to add to keep an eye on my servers in addition to the third party services I am already using. Does not matter if it is linux or windows based.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of setting up a Windows VPS and I was wondering what FTP program you're using on your server?
Doing a quick search on Google I see there's a couple of free options available like Cesar FTP and FileZilla, but I would love to hear some recommendations and any advise on which ones I should stay away from (IE installation problems etc)
I know I could use the FTP client provided in IIS 6, but I would prefer to use something with more control and options.
what I'd like to do is get a server set up that i could remote into and play games such as second life.And Leave it running etc. I would also like to be able to install other software on the server and run them just as i do with my home pc. Is that possible ? and if so what kind of setup do you suggest? Linux,windows.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a program that creates a new file each time someone (or somebot) accesses the page and stores these files in a specific directory on my server. I would like to delete these files once a week so I would schedule it as a cron job, but I can't find a program that will actually delete files from the server in a directory I specify. I have found some programs but they all require that the files to be deleted use a specific name and the files I want to delete have long random names. Does anyone have a recommendation for a small program like this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust moved to a lxadmin based system from my current plesk system and I have a dilema
Configuration
Server 1: Main Web/CP/Primary DNS/Mail/etc
Server 2: Secondary DNS/Backup Mail forwarding
With Plesk I generated a transfer file from named.conf (plesk runs bind/named for dns) sent that over to server 2 a couple of times a day.
Problem is I've converted lxadmin to run with bind instead and named.conf only contains an include to lxadmin.named.conf and this is empty. So where does lxadmin put its conf files for named?
I'm not restricted to using named, I'd use djbdns if there was an equally simple way of transferring the zones across to server 2
I was curious to know if there's a way to protect memory for certain programs. I have a VPS that is fairly light on memory, and there's been a few occasions when a program/bug will go wild and eat up all the memory locking me out of ssh/webmin.
Is there any way I can protect certain memory for certain processes/programs. Ideally I'd like some way for ssh to stay up in all situations.

I recently just started working at a party shop, and being the only one there with a computer at home, they've unloaded a few computer problems on me - most specifically, one dealing with website hosting and all that jazz; An area which i am completely unfamiliar with, so here's hoping that I can understand half the stuff required of me!
A few weeks ago, in collaboration with a company which specializes in website design, they submitted and successfully(?) updated the new coding for the domain (they've kept the same url, just remodeled the site); However recently customers began complaining that the website which they view at home is that of the old one, not the newly updated one.
When viewing the url at the computer which is located at our store (the computer which we used to register and update the website*), we’re able to see the new website; but, viewing the url at an external computer shows the old website.
*I'm not too certain what happened at this step, but apparently they sent the domain hoster their code along with some registration key or something, and it was enough to change the website on the computer at work.
We’re not too certain why this is happening, and any information on measures we could take to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to take a guess and say that they probably didn't update the website properly, and the website they're viewing at work is the website stored in cache?
These new "rules" make BFD ban faster, checks every minute. BFD only checked every 10 minutes and could miss attackers that show up at the right time. Now we keep 10 minutes of IPs, and ban using that list.
I feel that APF and BFD are still the best choices for protecting my server. Cpanel's new "cphulk" feature has a lot more to go to be as good, plus you have total control with BFD where you can add and change rules to suit your needs as they grow, or modify them for particular problems.
The changes I made are based on the latest version of BFD V0.9, you should have that version installed and WORKING ALREADY.
Remember, they are simply shell scripts that define the log file to keep track of and what keywords to trigger on. You can view them with any text reader.
WARNING: These work for me, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, always make sure you add your current IP in /usr/local/bfd/ignore.hosts (and) /etc/apf/allow_hosts.rules so you don't accidentally ban yourself!
Inside the below tar.gz file are my modified "rules" files for exim, pure-ftpd, rh_imap, rh_pop3, sendmail and sshd. No changes to the BFD V0.9 main program are needed.
You should change the cron job to run BFD every minute, edit this file:
/etc/cron.d/bfd
Change the line in that file to this so it runs every minute:
*/1 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/bfd -q
I checked the CPU load and since it's reading only a small part of the log file every minute, the CPU load isn't bad, it's done in about 8 seconds on my system. Expect a small rise in load average since it is doing work more often.
The "rules" files are contained in your server directory:
/usr/local/bfd/rules
The "rules" files should be REPLACED with the new ones, if you want to keep the old ones around then MOVE THEM OUT to another directory NOT INSIDE the "rules" directory, or else they will be run when BFD runs.
If you need apache, proftpd or other "rules" then you will have to modify them yourself, otherwise you should move these out of the "rules" DIRECTORY, they will not do much with BFD set to run every minute (unless you modify them yourself). I only modified the rules I needed for my server, feel free to post your own mods here.
OK enough, here's the file:
[url]
(it's also attached to this message, see below)
This file will only be around for a few months on this free upload site. Someone please put it in a good place/mirror and post a link, thanks.
Technical details:
This runs every minute but keeps a list of the last 10 minutes of bad IPs in a file in tmp, trimming the file every minute so only new IPs are saved.
You can see the list of IPs in files such as:
/usr/local/bfd/tmp/.exim
/usr/local/bfd/tmp/.sshd
The marker "----" (four dashes) is used to mark each minute and is ignored by BFD but used to trim the old IPs off the file.
If the number of "----" are more than 10, it trims the top of the file up to the marker every run. If the file doesn't exist it's created.
The exim filter "grep" part was modified slightly because the old one was producing bad data every once and a while. The others are all the default filters that come with V0.9.
(BFD people feel free to add this to the next version update, I consider it GPL)
I can't seem to solve, perhaps you could give me some pointers or tips on how to fix this.
All the cPanel stats programs (Awstats etc..) haven't been updated since the 17th June but when I login to WHM it says the stats have been updated (within the past 24 hours).
On the 17th June I moved my hosting operations from the USA to the UK onto a new webserver.
How can I make sure these statistic programs are updated and shown from cPanel, even though I can tell it to update via SSH (completes) and claims in WHM with no problems (updated with in 24 hours), the new stats still fail to appear.
Running the latest version of WHM 11.23.2 & cPanel 11.23.4-C26138
So far tried the following commands:
/scripts/initquotas
/scripts/resetquotas
/scripts/fixquotas
the above commands done nothing - really waste of time!
The cPanel asked my to contact my VPS provider and ask them to reinitialize quotas for your VE and possibly check further into the node to correct the issue. As for VPS provider they did some tests & told me that they "fixed" & can't find any issues on the node, but the problem is still exists.
asked by VPS provider to do:
/scripts/fixquotas
restart VPS
/scripts/upcp --force
how to fix cPanel bug?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just did the update to 12.0.18 #6 and everything seemed to go pretty well. One feature we were really interested in was the Outgoing Spam Filter. Unfortunately, the error I see when I go to that feature reads, "Protection : Not active. There are some problems that prevent the service from being started."
When I Google that error, I'm brought to some KB articles but they are all for the older Outgoing Spam Filter that you need a license key for. I don't believe that is the case any more - if it is, I don't know where to get the key. I will say point out I'm a bit of a Linux novice (we are running CentOS 6.5 on this server), so I'm not really sure where to look....
I wanted to permanently get rid of xcache from my Plesk 12 as some softwares we are using crashes if xcache is installed or enabled on server.
At present I am doing yum remove to remove xcache php extension from server which is allowing our software to work but after couple of days, its coming back again.
I found traces in autoinstaller log, but I am not sure how to completely disable only xcache for all php versions installed on server i.e. PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
When triggering the events 'Mail account created' or 'Mail account modified' the returned variable NEW_MAILBOX will always state TRUE regardless of the mailbox option being ticked or not ticked on the 'New mail account' option located on the 'Mail' tab of a subscription.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1: Log in to plesk.
2. Select 'Tools & Settings'
3: Select 'Event Manager'
4: Select 'Add New Event Handler'
5: Select Event 'Mail account updated'
6: Enter in '/usr/bin/php /root/scripts/dbmail/mail_mod.php' to the Command box.
[Code] ....
ACTUAL RESULT
[NEW_MAILBOX] => true
EXPECTED RESULT
[NEW_MAILBOX] => false
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I submitted this with parallels support and they stated that the variable NEW_MAILBOX will always return as TRUE regardless of if the mailbox option is ticked or not. They also stated the NEW_MAILBOX variable will be true regardless of any action taken on the panel with mail accounts.
The actual documentation on this variable is very sparse
Component name/description Old component value New component value
Mailbox old_mailbox new_mailbox
We previously had some code that would trigger on this variable and would create a mail account on our mail server with or without a mailbox.
if (!strcmp(getenv('NEW_MAILBOX'),"true") && !strcmp(getenv('OLD_MAILBOX'),"false")){
//Create a mailbox on the external mail service
}
if (!strcmp(getenv('NEW_MAILBOX'),"false") && !strcmp(getenv('OLD_MAILBOX'),"true")){
//Create a mail forwarder on the external mail service
}
At some point this variable has stopped working with newer versions of plesk. Having a variable that is always true regardless of what is done when creating a mail account seems pointless and requesting a new feature that was already there in older versions doesnt seem like something that should be requested on a new feature request.
QUESTION: Is there anyway to get this functionality restored other than requesting it gets re added via [URL] ....
I updated my name servers to reflect my new web host two days ago. The name servers have updated, but the site is still pointing to the old host!
I emailed my host about this and they told me to email my registrar. The host says the domain is registered with the new name servers but these name servers are registered with IPs outside of their network. I'm confused and have never had this problem before when changing DNS.
I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.
