I have a cpanel server.
I have done some mis- experiments.
My datacenter support has asked me to do the following:
"restore the original configuration by copying the /etc/security/limits.conf.orig file into /etc/security/limits.conf and rebooting your Server. "
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

Is ODBC possible on cPanel servers?

A client of mine is asking me to install CVS at the server so he can manage hes application.
Yet, I have no clue if I should look on a particular software to accomplish this. The server is a standard cPanel box with CentOS installed.
I'm holding a dedicated server on my own and have about 6 sites to transfer to that server, some sites get heavy traffic (8k uniques per day)
what is more effective (since im the only one using the server anyway) creating one cpanel account and hosting all the domains under additional domains on that account with unlimited resources or creating a new cpanel account for each domain?
I just setup a new cPanel server and the default /etc/my.cnf is only showing

My older server has so much more settings. Has anyone guide me how do I go about this? because my phpBB script is not working showing me 2006 MySQL Server has gone away.

Is there a standard recommended guide for /etc/my.cnf entry for a shared server?
After spending 1 hour wondering why all domains suddenly stopped working and the hosting server was showing no signs of fail.
A simple dns service restart on my secondary dns server fixed this.
Is there any way to auto restart the dns service upon failure on the cpanel dns only build?
Also why would the secondary dns server failing, cause the domain to stop working. The primary dns/hosting server was fine.
I have just purchased a VPS with WHM and CPANEL.
My old VPS used LXADMIN and HYPERVM.
I'm trying to change over the DNS from the old to the new, so all i did was change the i.p's.
Now i go into WHM and type my DNS servers into the setup/config page. Having already assigned each dns name an i.p im just waiting for the Assign an A address to this namserver button to show my new i.p address.. At the minute it says my old one.
Is this the correct way, i know it can take a while to proporgate, is this the same with it showing the new IP?
anyone wants to check:

ns1.playcontrol.co.uk
ns2.playcontrol.co.uk

I've got ClamAV installed on my cPanel (Dedicated) server with a single site and would am having trouble setting up ClamAV to scan emails.
I installed it via WHM and have set it up in WHM to scan all items.
Ie: WHM -> Plugins -> Configure ClamAV Scanner -> Scan ALL items
After doing a few manual scans however (using 'clamscan -ri') I'm finding infections in the account mail folder.
1. Is there a good guide to setting up ClamAV on a cPanel serve do do automatic mail scanning? I was under the impression that ClamAV scans emails also however after doing some reading people seem to recommend MailScanner.
2. My logwatch is giving me the following error.
The ClamAV update process (freshclam daemon) was not running! If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the freshclam.log file will suppress this error message.
The freshclam daemon wasn't running so I've started it (freshclam --daemon). I've also checked the freshclam.conf file and the logrile is set as follows:
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
I've had some people trying to sell me dedicated recently with cpanel for €30, unbelievable that too with core duo 2.ghz, 100mbps unmetered, 250 gb, ofcourse i said no but strangely they were offering cpanel with it. Now that is unbeilievable, when i asked what cpanel, they said they installed Cpanel VPS on it.
It was quite astonished there and they said it was common practice.
Of course i know it is scam but they actually showed me a screenshot..
I was searching for something else the other day and came across this (search for LogWatch on the page).
It changes the default paths for some of the log files so that they work on a cPanel/WHM server.
This will give you more reports in your daily LogWatch email - specifically, it adds exim, apache, courier and PureFTP logs.
Most tutorials only show you how to change the detail level or the email address in logwatch.conf.
So, I thought I'd share this piece of information.
I found that a few changes were necessary for my system.
So, I'll give all the steps I followed below:
1) After you have installed LogWatch, change the following in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf :
Code:
Detail = High
MailTo = <your email address>
You can use Detail = Med if you want to reduce the details you get.
2) Add the following to /etc/logwatch/conf/override.conf (you may have to create the file):
Code:
logfiles/exim: LogFile = exim_mainlog
logfiles/http: LogFile = /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
services/pop3: *OnlyService = cpanelpop
services/pop3: *RemoveHeaders = 1
services/pureftpd: LogFile = messages
services/pureftpd: $show_logins = 1
services/pureftpd: $show_logouts = 1
services/pureftpd: $show_new_connections = 1
So, if you are not bored reading LogWatch's daily logs and would like to increase your workload, you now know how to
How have you configured your LogWatch installation ? Or do you use something other than LogWatch?
I am concerned as I get several emails containing this like this:
Large Number of Failed Login Attempts from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I'm trying to stop it, as obviously, I don't want anyone gaining access to my server.
Any tips for making sure the server is really secure?
Since the past few months I am facing cpu load on a server. The server is a Intel Xeon server with 4 gigs of RAM. Today the load average went over 150 which is very high. I could not access the server to check what is causing such a high load. I had to reboot the server using Remote Power switch. Is there a way I can find out the cause of the heavy load after the server is reboot? Is there any log where all the information is stored?

I ran "last reboot -n 10" and "last" and grepped for shutdown calls, but nothing. /var/log/messages.1 reveals nothing as well.
I run a free webhosting company, and I would like to email all of my users (they accepted this by signing up with my services) a monthly newsletter. I do not wish to use the WHM Email All Users function, but rather use a third party tool.

I have remote uptime tracking on my server, and I am regularly getting text messages and emails regarding my server going down. This in itself isn't odd, however the fact is, everytime the problem is cPanel.
I log into my PC and find an email from my server and it contains the following;

what's causing this? It's on a VPS and the main server hasn't been down once, but this VPS constantly goes offline, at least once a day...
