CPanel Partitioning Scheme Is Necessary
Jul 30, 2008
I'm currently trying to install cPanel/WHM on a :
Dedicated Server , Celeron 3.06 , 1GB RAM , 160GB HDD
O/S = CentOS 5.0 (Fresh install , i386)
and the installation can't be completed , it stops at different steps , one time it stops when installing Perl Modules , one time when installing Apache , one time it declares mirror list errors , ...
I have followed a normal installation procedure and before have had successful installations on XEN VPS machines without partitioning the HDD.
I didn't created the partitions as is suggested in cPanel.net guide.
Is it necessary to have different partitions? Can it be the reason of random stop?
Can hardware problems , HDD failure be the cause?

I just received a new server, I have been using always the partition scheme 'x2 ram swap, 1GB /tmp, /boot and /", but im not sure if I should get the new server re-formatted with that scheme (the HD is 250GB, so I will get 2GB /tmp), or stay with the current one:
#
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
#
/dev/sda5 7.8G 343M 7.1G 5% /
#
/dev/sda8 198G 1.1G 187G 1% /home
#
/dev/sda6 996M 39M 906M 5% /tmp
#
/dev/sda3 7.8G 2.4G 5.0G 32% /usr
#
/dev/sda2 9.7G 390M 8.9G 5% /var
#
/dev/sda1 122M 11M 105M 10% /boot
#
tmpfs 1014M 0 1014M 0% /dev/shm
#
I dont really see anything better, since I have all the available space in my old scheme. Anyway, which one do you think is better for a cPanel server, or you like to use and the reason?

I've got another server comming online shortly which will be used for shared hosting. A Q9550, 8 GB DDRs, 2 1 TB SATA drives in RAID 1. I know everyone has different opinions and reasons for their partitioning decisions, so I wanted to get a feel on how you would partition the drives durring setup, and why you would do it the way you do.

I just completed building a server and before sending to the co-lo company I realized that I have to advise them on HD partitioning and I am clueless concerning that.
Would you please share your suggestions on setup?
Hardware:
TYAN S7010 Dual processor Nehalem 5520
12 GB RAM Kingston ECC
4 X 1 TB WD RE3 Hard Drives
Seasonic 520 Watt PS
Chenbro RM 11704 1U Case
Control Pancel - CPanel
Applications - Mostly Blog Type Membership Sites (Joomla & Wordpress). I dont allow upload of photos or video, so its the MYSQL database that will continue to grow because of the article volume.
I am clueless on Linux performance.
Do I turn the 4 Hard Drives into one RAID array?
Or do I create 2 X 1TB Mirror sets?

I'm gonna order my first dedi box. So one question comes up: How should i partition the HD ? It's a low end box with 120gb HD containing CentOS + Plesk, hosting 4-5 websites, nothing special.
Here is my plan:
Quote:
/ - 5gb
/boot - 1gb
/swap - 1gb
/home - 3gb
/tmp - 5gb
/var - 40gb
/usr - 5gb
/backup - 60gb

I have just purchased a "clean" server and I figured I was going to install cpanel on it. My question is; it it possible to successfully re-partition the server after CentOS has been installed on it during setup or does the ISP have to configure the different partitions (I'm guess the last option is the answer, as this would be the most logical way)

I got a new server from Nocster today with a 80GB drive. Went to look at my fee disk space and I notice the largest partition is only 48GB... yuck. Then I noticed the way they partitioned the drive:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 2.0G 332M 1.6G 18% /
/dev/hda1 99M 24M 70M 26% /boot
tmpfs 498M 0 498M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda8 48G 11G 36G 23% /home
/dev/hda6 996M 34M 911M 4% /tmp
/dev/hda3 9.7G 1.4G 7.8G 16% /usr
/dev/hda2 9.7G 201M 9.0G 3% /var
This is definately something I'm not used to. Putting all these things on seperate partitions like that is really going to make it difficult for me to utilize all my disk space. On every other server I've had, all the free space was under / with partitions just for /boot and /dev/shm. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the OS?

Linux Storage Server Partitioning
We are puting together a Linux Storage server which will have 4 x 1TB SATA Hard Drives connected to Hardware raid configured at level 10.
We plan to use this box initially for NFS services but in the near future iSCSI targets so would like to make a setup optimal the first time.
What is the best way to layout the drive partition’s for this setup?
My thought is
-100MB /boot ext3
-Rest in LVM
--LVM Group
---LVM001 2048MB SWAP
---LVM002 10GB /
---LVM003 500GB /nfs
---LVM004 500GB /iscsi
Is this an efficient setup and provide a great deal of flexibility down the road? We will end up having more than one iscsi target running on this box in the end. Also does LVM experience a performance hit ?

I have 2 questions:
1) I have one 80Gb HDD and one 250Gb HDD ( all are s-ata ).
In which practical way they should be partitioned? I thought to setup OS on 80Gb HDD and /home on 250Gb HDD.
2) Which version of CentOS is currently the most stable for cPanel? I had an experince with CentOS 5, there were various problems with mail and mysql.. And now I want to install CentOS 4.6.
The server will have CentOS and cPanel installed.

An arbitrary file inclusion vulnerability has been discovered in the Horde
webmail application. At present, we can confirm that this security
vulnerability in question affects Horde 3.1.6 and earlier. Based on
incomplete information at this time, we also believe this affects Horde
Groupware 1.0.4 and earlier as well (cPanel does not use Horde Groupware
at this time).
cPanel customers should update their cPanel and WHM servers immediately to
prevent any chance of compromise. The patch will be available in builds
11.18.2 and greater (or 11.19.2 and greater for EDGE systems). The updated
builds will be available immediately to all fast update servers. The
builds will be available to all other update servers within one hour of
this posting.
To check which version of cPanel and WHM is on your server, simply log
into WebHost Manager (WHM) and look in the top right corner, or execute
the following command from the command line as root:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
You can upgrade your server by navigating to 'cPanel' -> 'Upgrade to
Latest Version' in WebHost Manager or by executing the following from the
command line as root:
/scripts/upcp
It is recommended that all use of Horde 3.1.6 and earlier be stopped (on
cPanel and non-cPanel systems alike) until Horde updates can be applied.
You can disable Horde on your cPanel system by unchecking the box next to
'Server Configuration' -> 'Tweak Settings' -> 'Mail' -> 'Horde Webmail'
within WHM, and saving the page with the new settings.

I am in the process of moving websites and emails to a new host. I am doing the transfer manually because we are gradually moving different part of the site at one time to allow developers to work on new parts.
I now want to migrate all of the email accounts off the old cpanel server to the new cpanel host. What files and settings do I need to move so settings are not lost, such as save mail and contacts?

I'm having big trouble trying to update an SSL certificate with cPanel.
I'm such a dummy that I've ended up buying 2 SSL certificates to see if that may fix it.
I now have 1 certificate for www.mydomainname.com and 1 for just mydomainname.com
I have logged into the account in cpanel and uploaded both certificates and when I view them in Security -> SSL/TLS manager -> Certificates They both display the correct host, correct issuer, and correct expire date.
But when I try to visit my site using https I get:
The certificate expired on 4/8/2008 7:59 PM.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Anyone here use PAX in their kernel builds? I've been trying to find a setup that works, but with no luck. stability wise.
I can run CPanel fine with just about any PAX setup, but after awhile with some settings the server eventually will get a load of over 250 and 1000 processes like it's not able to terminate them, or turn 4GB ram into like 3.2GB ram.

I have a reseller account with site5. The last months the service has been horrible, sites down, dns down etc.. and the people there dont do a thing..
so i want to change to something else. I assume that VPS+whm+cpanel will give me something similar.
Which vps hosts are good? and which packages can you offer me? I'm paying about 19 usd a month now.

i am now unable to remove subdomains for some reason, even though it says that it is successful.
i added 2 parked domains that is to redirect to my main domain and it created the subdomain folders for me.
i went to try creating a subdomain for parked.co.cc and tried to redirect it to my main domain.
so example i created this subdomain: parked1.co.cc.maindomain.com
in the list of subdomains table, i have:
Subdomains: parked1
Root Domain: .co.cc.maindomain.com
but however it should be:
Subdomains: parked1.co.cc
Root Domain: .maindomain.com
how can i solve this? i just want to delete it now..
also for some reason my /cpanel and /webmail goes to my main hosting website url but not mine! so if i type www.maindomain.com/cpanel it goes to www.mainhosting.com:2093 etc!

Where do you guys currently get your external vps cpanel licenses? Cheapest ive been able to find is $15
Also what type of resources does cpanel require to run in the vps as far as ram used, etc..
My provider can provide me with cpanel vps so i have to get it externally, but 15 per is a bit much i think.

I now have tried a number of VPS accounts with CPanel.
I have taken the 256mb burstable to 512mb.
I am only running a simple php mysql online game (AATraders.com), yet i always max out at the memory and the server crashes.
Even when there is no one online I have issues.
I get the feeling that VPS with Cpanel and anything less than 1 gb ram is not going to work.

I’ve been reading several posts about cpanel vs. directadmin and the difference in RAM usage.
I understand that cpanel is a resource hog that uses more RAM... so here is my noob question...
How and when does this have an impact on my site visitors?
Meaning...
1. Does this ONLY have an impact on ME while I’m using the control panel? Or..
2. Does this impact my visitors ONLY if I’m running/using my control panel at that moment? Or...
3? Does this have an impact on my visitors all the time regardless of my control panel usage at the moment?

I noticed there are a lot of different web tools in my cpanel. I want to add a feature to my Free Music Videos website so that visitors can post comments about the videos.
Is there a cpanel utility that will allow me to easily implement this type of functionality right on each video's page?
