Does any one else use the free hosting byethost and have problems with them blocking user agents like googlebots and phpld site verification agents?
Otherwise their hosting is good but a huge drawback is that Google is blocked from accessing my site and I cannot get back links in many phpld directories because they cannot verify my site as their user agent is banned by the host.
If you upgrade to a paid account are these restrictions removed?
well they get permission denied to view the site, i have flushed the server firewall but yet again several user dont get access to view the site...

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust a quick little review here:
Wanted to let you all know that I am very pleased with service I am receiving from Byethost! Many people think of Byet as just a free hosting and paid shared hosting company, but for awhile now I've been leasing a server and management service from them for io3.us and io4.us. I must say I have been very impressed!
I've received lots of personal attention and consulting to help me determine my needs, and also to make sure I end up with the best solution. Byethost has been very flexible in their solutions for me, and I have really appreciated all they've done!
I recently had to upgrade from a VPS to a full dedicated server, and once again Byethost was there to help every step of the way. The upgrade was literally totally seamless.
They ordered the server, configured it, moved everything over, verified everything with me. Nothing was down, not even for a few seconds. Byethost handled it all, and I didn't have to do a thing! That's what I call service. (Plus, from the time I ordered until the time everything was moved from the VPS to the dedicated server and running fine was less than 2 days!)
Previously, I've said HostGator was my number 1 pick for dedicated servers, but I have to change that now. If you're looking for a dedicated server (with or without management servers), I strongly recommend Byethost.com. You will be doing yourself a huge favor, saving a tremendous amount of hassle by choosing Byethost.
I now have a dedicated server and 10 Mbps dedicated line from them, and I couldn't be happier!
APF (on my server) often blocks me and some other browsers but I don't want it to do this. Let me give the last one log below;
Code:
May 26 09:38:01 linux apf(9884): (insert) deny all to/from 85.101.x.x (my ip)
After 20 minutes automaticly deleting the block.
May 26 09:58:02 linux apf(11064): {delete} deny all to/from 85.101.x.x
I guess some of you have had the same problem in the past.
I am looking to host 20 different websites on 20 different C-block ips.
It's very hard to find a provider that does this so up to time I am ordering every account to different provider but this results in a big overhead.
does aynone know how to modify the file /etc/network/interfaces (using debian linux) in order to have 2 different 8 IP - Blocks on one server? I guess one needs somehow 2 gateways, but I am not really sure how to set it up. So I did try it that way, which didn´t work: ....
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis weird issue has poped up only this weekend , when csf blocks all ips and even ssh, email and all services are not accesible, even though server is working, but firewall puts a block on everyone, and appears offline to others, any ideas why csf and iptables are not responding and acting in this behavior, i asked jonesolutions.com last time it happened i got no reason/response which could be the culprit.
Could it be the kernel update/upgrade that was done, to optimize load which broke csf and its working?
as this is 2nd incident over last 2 days , and i had thought my management had fixed it. Upset here over the unwanted for no reason downtimes!
Here is the output for this command after i restart csf again, and thats like average too i get over the entire day.
root@webhosting1 [~]# netstat -an |grep :80 |wc -l
188
root@webhosting1 [~]# netstat -an |grep :80 |wc -l
168
Connections to server dont seem to be high enough to pooch the firewall.
This came as a surprise today, I setup a server-based RSS reader and could not get WHT's forum RSS feeds. A little digging revealed it was the default APF installation that was blocking the 174.0.0.0/8 range, which includes WHT and a chunk of Softlayer's ip range.
The quick fix is easy, just remove that range from the /etc/apf/internals/reserved.networks file and restart, in the latest apf version, I don't know how many apf versions back this block goes.
The APF folks do a fantastic job in keeping APF up to date, but this seems to be recent update to this particular ip range that hasn't made it into APF yet.
I recently got a dedi from Hivelocity, and they installed CSF/LFD. On my previous hosts, I didn't have this, just cPHulk. With this dedi, I'm receiving nearly a dozen daily emails from LFD with IPs that have been blocked for multiple failed logins, mostly with username root, but also sales, staff, admin, system, etc., and a few for port scanning.
Is this normal? I've already disabled direct root login via SSH, and I'm not really worried about anyone actually managing to gain access, I'm just curious about the high number of attempts. On previous hosts, where I actually had active sites and forums, with links posted on other forums that are indexed and nicely ranked by Google, I rarely received any emails from cPBrute at all.
What is the cheapest and easiest way to have say 20 different sites all on different IPs?
Just buy 20 different cheap hosting accounts?
Or can a reseller account or server add different IPs per site? And I mean a pretty big difference in IP not just last number.
All very small sites, about 3mbs space needed, and probably not even a gig of bandwidth a month.
One of my friends has a web server that runs Jetty. And he's having issues with users using Safari getting blocked by Jetty through a login process. The result after attempting to login is a 404 error. That just says machine blocked and URI=
and then below powered Jetty://.
This only happens with Safari.. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could be causing this or is familiar with Jetty?
This is an issue I've been having for a few months now and haven't been able to resolve yet with my data center, AOL support and the company who manages the server for me. My main reason for posting this is for a fresh set of eyes and to see if anyone else has had a similar problem in the past (and how they fixed it)
The issue is this:
I set up a dedicated server to host my web design clients a few months back and no one has been able to send to or receive mail from AOL addresses. I've gone through everything at the postmaster.aol.com site and have ensured that reverse DNS records are in place for all IPs associated with the server, as rDNS is a mandatory requirement for AOL.
Once my support requested was finally elevated to a real AOL support tech, they confirmed that my IP was not being blocked by their servers and are still under the impression that the problem must be on my end somewhere. Because this problem only occurs with AOL (we can send/receive with all other big providers - yahoo, hotmail, gmail, hush, etc), my server management team are fairly certain it must be an issue on AOL's side.
When sending mail from an AOL address, it bounces back with an error like so (real emails replaced with example addresses):
451 <email@exampledomain.com>... exampledomain.com: Name server timeout
Message could not be delivered for 2 hours
Message will be deleted from queue
When sending mail from my server, it bounces back with an error like so:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
exampleaddress@aol.com
retry timeout exceeded
When attempting to manually deliver a message to AOL from the Mail Queue in WHM, I get an error like so:
Message xxx-example-number is not frozen
delivering xxx-example-number
Connecting to emr-d01.mx.aol.com [205.188.159.2]:25 ... failed: Connection timed out (timeout=5m)

LOG: MAIN

When attempting a manual telnet test from my server to AOL's mail server at , it also times out with the following:
Trying 64.12.137.184 (connection timed out)
Trying 205.188.156.248 (connection timed out)
Trying 205.188.159.57 (connection timed out)
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
The AOL support tech explained that if my server IP were being blocked, it would return messages with a block error code instead of timing out. They suggested my firewall was blocking AOL's server....but both my data center and server management company said that isn't the case.
Because I can't duplicate this problem with anyone but AOL accounts, I don't know what else to troubleshoot or look for. I know AOL is notorious for blocking IPs and most email related problems are usually for lack of rDNS, but neither of those issues are the problem in this situation...so I don't know what else to try. My server management company (PSM) and AOL (once they finally elevated me to a real tech support person), have been very patient and helpful....but we still haven't been able to identify the problem and I feel incompetent for not being able to contribute on my own. I've researched for weeks and certainly understand more than I did, but still far less than they do.
AOL did direct me to a Windows Server troubleshooter relating to UDP packet size limitations with some firewalls that could cause MX query timeouts with AOL, Earthlink and Quest...but because I'm on an Apache server...I didn't know if that could be related at all to my issues (not to mention that I didn't even know what any of that meant until I went and looked up what a UDP packet actually was. I'm still not entirely sure I understand it). Even so, I did send the information to Platinum Server Management a short while ago, but haven't heard back yet.
Anyways.... in the meantime, I thought I'd check here in case anyone else had the same issue or saw something obvious we might not be considering.
My server details are as follows. I included my data center and management company details to illustrate that people far more qualified and intelligent than myself have performed the most common and obvious troubleshooters so far:
Pentium IV 2.8GHz /1GB DDRAM /120GB EIDE HDD
OS: CentOS 4.3
cPanel/WHM
Main Server IP: 66.79.163.138
Example Domain on the server: vedadesigns.net
Data Center: Dediwebhost.com (awesome service & fast support)
Initial Server Setup & Management: Platinum Server Management (I just can't say enough good things about these people)
I just uninstall apf and install csf firewall on 4 servers
There is a problem after that. 2 of the server actually was OFFLINE by 12 midnight sharp yesterday night. This is the second time (second day) it happens.
I went into the datacenter and
#ping yahoo.com
*Host not found*
#service csf stop
#ping yahoo.com
*Responding*
So how is this related to eth0 making my server offline by itself? Was it Iptable problem or Csf problem? or Kernel problem?
I have a brand new and fresh installed server with:
Parallels Plesk v12.0.18
openSUSE 13.1
My Problem is, every day i have to click on activate in the settings of the firewall. Otherwise i have no Mail. The rest (Hosting, etc.) works fine.
No changes in the firewall settings where made, just a migration from my old server.
we use CentOS Linux 7.0.1406 (Core) Plesk Version 12.0.18 Update #26 I got reports of several users on my system, and i can confirm this myself, that fail2ban is blocking courier imap and postfix connections when i try to connect to the Plesk Server with Outlook 2013 and theBat and the Apple Mac Mail Client.
I used the correct login information but fail2ban blocked the IPs for no obvious reason:
Code:
2014-12-03 12:46:57,908 fail2ban.actions[920]: WARNING [plesk-postfix] Ban 82.134.94.102
2014-12-03 12:46:58,049 fail2ban.actions[920]: WARNING [plesk-courierimap] Ban 82.134.94.102
I disabled the two jails now and it works perfectly. But why is fail2ban blocking valid requests ? I tried it myself and i did not enter a wrong password or something. MaxRetry is 5 so this should not be a problem. The problem is not affecting all users but just a few. However all of them are using correct credentials so i dont understand why they are being blocked at all.
I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)
If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com
I am trying to reach a site hosted by hostrocket dot com. The site is www dot sadoun dot com slash forum dot htm. Whenever I enter that in the URL of my browser (SeaMonkey, FireFox, IE, Chrome), the site just sits there and blinks and blinks and blinks, etc. If I use a proxy service and change my IP to something that begins with e.g. "69", I can get in with no problem.
The general issue of the "173" problem has been discussed at dslreports under the subject of "What's with the 173 IP". Basically, the IP "173" was a former test IP for ARIN. Since it was released over a year ago, most hosting services have made the adjustment and accept "173" has a valid IP address. But not Hostrocket.
I have emailed Hostrocket at the address provided by Godaddy's Whois service but have received no response. I have asked the owner of www dot sadoun dot com to see if he could fix it and he is working on it.
Is there anything else I can do to get the Hostrocket hosting service to address this problem?
when I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?

I already have checked
"Prevent the user "nobody" from sending out mail to remote addresses (PHP and CGI scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using PHPSuexec and Suexec respectively.)"

and I can't know who are runing in my server
which user should i use when you doing work on the server? I've been login as root when i need to do work on the server (i know this is really bad.)
Should i create another user to ssh in and when i need to do crital stuff i will use su ?
What groupid should i set this user to?
I am currently looking for a new IP KVM. Right now I use a mix of HP and Raritan KVMs and I'm honestly not super happy with either of them. The main feature I'm looking for is the ability to setup multiple users and only allow them to access certain ports/devices on the KVM.
What would be the best IP KVM to look at for this?
I basically have a script that uses passthru when people login with FTP so it can connect users from multiple interfaces.
Thing is, it uses the default php.ini file so, to get this script to work I have to enable passthru in the default php.ini file, affecting all users with an account. I am currently running SuExec and can change the php.ini file each user uses from httpd.conf. But as far as I am aware the FTP user isn't in httpd.conf.
What user does FTP run under and how can I use a custom php.ini file just for the FTP daemon. Also, as a side note, what are the effects of passthru and can it be used for malicious intent if wanted?
Is it possible to create user aliases on linux?
I have webmin and virtualmin running on my server, but it's set up to create usernames in the form name@domain.tld.
Is it possible to create an alias, say myname that points to myname@mydomain.tld, so that I am able to have certain users to login via SSH using a shorter name?
i want to create a vps for tunnel ip for some user that use socks proxy.
how can i do it ?
our os is Centos
when I tried to reboot my VPS via Hypervm Enterprise I got this error:
===========
Alert: The vps myvps.vm is locked by another user. This would also be because you had interrupted an earlier activity that would take long time to complete. HyperVM has waited 15 seconds for the other process to finish. Please try after sometime.
===========
and memory usage going crazy it's going from 400MB "natural usage level" to 1024MB then the vps and all sites going down.
How to list how many inodes is using some user or all users for a Linix system?
