I logged into my email to check for my nightly logwatch report (at 12am). Nothing.
So I log into ssh and manually run it, get greeted with this:
You have old files in your logwatch tmpdir (/var/cache/logwatch): logwatch.zcTV3hC0 The directories listed above were most likely created by a logwatch run that failed to complete successfully. If so, you may delete these directories.
I last ran logwatch around 10:30pm, it worked fine.
I try to run logwatch again, same error.. except now there's another temp file showing beneath the first.
I go ahead and delete both of them, run logwatch again...it worked. I also got the other reports from when I tried running logwatch manually and was stopped with this error.
I've never had this happen before, so I'm curious as to what caused it? Logwatch is in cron.daily and has never missed a single report.
Just typical data corruption (as can happen with any computer file) or could something have interfered with its processing at 12?

Leaseweb where is the cancel server link hiding on your website? I want to cancel my server, but conveniently that link to download the cancellation form is broken. Come on Leaseweb
I backed a system up with rsync, and just used rsync to copy it into a new machine... I just backed up / to my home directory on another machine, and then 'extracted' it to / on the new machine.
But now everything (and I mean everything) is owned by "matt", my user on the intermediate machine. I rebooted the system to get it to boot the new stuff without realizing this, and now it's not booting... Since /etc/passwd, /bin/bash, etc. aren't owned by root.
Any tips on where to go from here? As I said, it's a brand-new machine (VM, actually: even better!), so re-imaging is a solution, but I'd still have to copy the data back over. Reinstalling is a pain, though, so if there's a simple fix, I'd prefer that. I've got pygrub installed as a boot manager for the VM, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get into single-user mode. (Nor am I sure that a "cd /; chown -R root" will have the desired effect?)
Having trouble hosting Macromedia Breeze files on a brand new dedicated 2003 NT box.
Anything I need to adjust?
When someone visits the URL, it loads the presentation main screen, but it's supposed to auto-play several movies and it won't. It works fine locally and on 2 unix servers I tested it on, but not the new NT box.
The weird thing is, if I remote desktop to that server, I can't play that presentation locally or server thru the linux boxes. I figured it was an extensions thing, but like I said the intro still does appear, and if I go to Adobe.com and play a new "Adobe Presenter" presentation - it works fine.
I ran Hijack this and fixed a few errors it listed in a Windows 2003 Server. I rebooted the server, but now when I attempt to login via remote desktop it logs in, but then immediately logs me out.
I am guessing HiJackThis deleted a required dll or .exe needed for Terminal Services. Do you guys have any idea how I can restore this, and undo what hijackthis did?
I am trying to find out how many 3 minute videos can be stored on a dedicated server that holds 500GB of Disk Space and how many videos can be viewed at the same time if it has 1500GB of Bandwidth.
We are starting a user-generated site that will potentially receive a lot of videos and someone is trying to persuade us to use a media platform that charges based on views instead of a dedicated server. They are saying the server will not hold many videos nor will large amounts of videos be able to be viewed at the same time.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos?
Here is our website: operationsports.com
In the right menu you'll notice an embedded flash video player.
Often, we receive complaints that our videos are buffering slowly at the beginning causing the movie to stop/pause for a few seconds. After this pause the remainder of the video buffers lightening quick.
I'd like to remove the pause if possible.
The server is a dual processor linux based server dedicated entirely to our video files.
It has plenty of power.
how to optimize a server for playing flash videos smoothly?
I just ran a simple yum update php on the server, because I need to be running 5.2 instead of 5.1.6
The update went smoothly, so I restarted httpd, and all hell broke loose. Apache can't start because of a whole lot of missing modules. So I commented out every single LoadModule line to see if that would get it to start, and it started complaining about the configuration file of some other software being incorrect (because that configuration file pointed to some module that no longer exists)
At one point I was able to get apache to start, I believe by copying my old configuration file to httpd.conf and then commenting out some lines that it was complaining about. Apache started, but no pages were loading.
So right now, basically, I've got no web service running at all on the server. I really didn't expect all of these problems for a simple PHP update, but obviously I was mistaken.
Is it worth trying to fix this myself (intermediate linux user here) or would it just be easier to hire someone to come in and do it for me?
According to de Plesk Administrator Guide and according to the kb article: [URL] ...., Plesk Panel is suitable to enable multiple php versions After I performed the steps mentioned in the kb article, all seemed fine until somehow php-cgi and php-fcgi broke down after
Code: # service httpd restart
After this event, all websites hosted on this particular the server only work running php as an apache module.
I am running Pleks Panel 12.0.18 #7 on top of CenOs 6.5 on this particular server, which means php version 5.3.3 is installed by default. PHP 5.3.3 also is was the php version for the "custom: false" php handlers (id's: cgi, fastcgi, module). Somehow all php handlers look like this:
servage.net is Broke down?... NO Dummy! They just changed their business to be SCAM
I am writing this to just let other friends here to be aware of this scam, they used to be host providers and now they've just become SCAM.
So my experience story goes like this:
Some days ago I ordered a 6month plan and paid by VCC, And got an email from them saying that my order is declined due to VCC not charged so I checked the balance of VCC and just knew that my poor little VCC is charged 45$ by this Green Giant named servage, So I let them know asap, I emailed back and told them to re-check and now it is days (5 days actually) that I am sending daily mails to Mr.Servage Scam and All I've gotten to now is nothing (actualy they don't respond anymore) wish they be alive at least (is it war or something running in their country? )
I really got disappointed at them I thought that since they have been in business for some time they can be reliable (at least at selling), However I just wrote back in here to let others know that servage.net is actually broke down or at least changed his hosting business to become a fast reliable scam (perhaps more profitable, who knows?)
All I wanted was a simple sweat hosting plan for my friend.
BTW If any of servage.net staff is here: Hey man that's not necessary to do illegal actions! Let's face it you need money? right? OK just put a donation button in the homepage and take my word on this always some good people exist out there to donate some bucks to you ( I will donate you too ), just don't be like this, this is shame.
I'm thinking over filling a dispute against them right now. Who know perhaps some days they respond back (At least I can re-check my email every day till next 50 years)
I run some tests with an Apache 2.4.10 running on W2k3 Server to see if Videos are playing well. The site is protected with .htacess/.htpasswd for now. I use jwplayer as player. The videos run fine on FF and IE, but as soon as I want to play them on an IOS 8 device (Iphone, Ipad), it doesn't work anymore. The message I get is "File cannot be played". The odd part is - when I remove .htaccess/.htpasswd, it works immediately. IOS devices, or is there something specific to be set to make this work? I logged in to the site with user and password, which always worked flawlessly. I assume it's not an Apache problem, since it runs fine on FF, but maybe someone here is aware of such a bug or something.
we had a problem playing values my.ini file located in C: Program Files (x86) Parallels Plesk MySQL Data..not keeping a copy of the old configuration and that there is now not working properly. What is the configuration which is by default or tell me how I can generate it again?
I use "suphp" on 3 servers I own with apache 2.2.6 and suddenly yesterday (15 hours ago) one of the servers show "Internal server error" on all sites.
Tried rebuilding apache and php 4 times with no fix until I came to try handling php with cgi instead. (I always like to track who is using apache processes)
well. getting to this fix was after 10 hours of all sites not working on the server.
now (5 minutes ago) I go to http://www.suphp.org to read their docs for solution to find this
Quote:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, hostmaster@marsching.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache Server at www.suphp.org Port 80
Why did this suddenly arise while No changes were done on server software or config?
I believe this happens after the first coming apache restart or something but dunno what was the reason yet
maybe suphp.org guys have to update us when their site comes back online
we have installed suPHP along with suhosin on server to prevent upload of illegal scripts but still we are having problems with scripts used for phishing web sites! We have a lot of Joomla users and other php apps installed on server.
I have a Linux server for shared hosting in which I am using Cpanel/WHM. I have PHP running as suPHP which I believe is for security. The problem I am facing is a lot of PHP based websites create load on the server and consume as much as 10% of the CPU and sometimes some script even consumes 50% CPU. I think I can reduce the load caused by the PHP scripts by installing eAccelerator. However, it does not work with PHP running as suPHP. Can anybody tell me which one should I choose of the both? Is there any other way to reduce the load on the server?
we are try SuPhp on Cpanel server but seem that is use a lot of resource, on 2 X quad core server we can't add more than 300 domains for server, whic configuration do u use? any alternative solution?
I have just installed my vps with webmin on debian 5 and I need a guide to how to configure my system to use suphp, Ive googled it but not come back with any clear guide.
I better add Ive plunged in at the deepend and after the secuity breach at Vaserv, I can not take the easy option and install lxadmin any longer.
I'm running a dedicated server (ie my site only) which is primarily a vbulletin powered site.
I was wondering if it is beneficial in running PHP as suPHP along with suhosin?
A lot of articles I see seem to be aimed at shared setups where there are other users with various (possibly) untrusted scripts.
It is a WHM/cPanel managed server which by default is set to run PHP5 as DSO (Apache module).
suexec is installed however this only affect CGI scripts correct?
I recently had a (paid) security audit completed and I asked the question about suhosin. The reply I got was:
Quote:
You do not need suhosin as you do not run suPHP we enforce posix acl's which will prevent vulnerable scripts from being able to download to the system easily and prevent the automated attacks. You can try this by installing a phpshell and you will see it's not very effective, only php functions are really of any use (such as readfile() and so on) but it will prevent things like wget xxx.
Should I recompile Apache (via EasyApache) with suPHP and suhosin or just leave as is?
