I have noticed that for each new subscription I create Plesk automatically creates an FTP account. Further; I cannot delete this. (It seems the Remove button would allow me to delete additional FTP accounts but not the one added when the subscription was created).
I would like:
1) To delete these system created FTP accounts
2) To prevent it doing this in future. I would like to create subscriptions without FTP accounts.
I'd prefer to do it this way and leave the FTP server running. However; I am wondering about disabling FTP access altogether if I have to. I do use SFTP. I'm afraid my Linux knowledge is so limited I don't know if SFTP uses the FTP server; so if I turned off the ftp server whether that would prevent sftp access?
The motivation for doing this is that while I have 'customers' and subscribers in fact I am the only user and will transfer files to the server by SFTP and then move them around the server logged on via SSH. Since I'm not using FTP it seems sensible not to have all these accounts floating about.
We have about 3 resellers on one server and all of a sudden, when I log in to whm and click "Show Reseller Accounts", all accounts show under root.. What's even strager, is that under package colum, it says "undefined"
However, when I click "list accounts", all accounts show and they are properly setup up with the correct package and owner (not all root.. They also show to which reseller they belong).
how to fix the problem when I click "Show Reseller Accounts"?
As I read, when Plesk and WHMCS are in the same server, you may have 502 bad gateway errors when creating an account through WHMCS..Page not Found/Timeout/502 Bad Gateway error creating accounts with Plesk 10+..By default Plesk 10 and above performs a forced restart of apache when an account is created or suspended which causes WHMCS to lose connection to the server, and if your WHMCS is on the same server, you will also lose connection to WHMCS at the same time.
In order to resolve this please refer to the following knowledgebase article for instructions on configuring Plesk to perform a graceful restart instead: URL..
But when I activate nginx in Plesk the 502 bad Gateway problem comes back.Is there an option to activate Nginx graceful restart in Plesk?
Do i have to have full root access to create a SSL certificate, it seems if not i have to pay my the host $10 to have it setup for me!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed WHMCS on my server and for some reason it is not creating the account in WHM after someone signs up. I tried installing Cp creator as well and for some reason that is not working either. So I now know the issue is is somewhere in the communication between the gateway and WHM. I am guessing WHM is where the problem is located, but then again I do not know. If you have any ideas please tell me because I am in need of whatever I can get. I am losing patience with this because I have been trying to setup this server for over a week.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a web site, where users sign up and edit there account settings using a web based form application.
These users will be uploading large files to my server, and as of right now they are uploading the files using a file upload form. The problem is it takes a really long time to upload them.
So my first question is will using ftp be significantly faster than using the web form http upload?
Assuming its faster to use ftp:
The big files that the user uploads get stored in a directory in the website directory right now, so that they would be accessible via www.mysite.com/user/files/ . There is an ftp account used to control that entire domain and all the files in it.
So if i were to create another ftp user, how would i go about allowing them to access a specific diretory in another users home directory.
When creating cPanel shared accounts under a VPS account, do you create them under the root WHM or do you create a "ficticious" reseller account and place the shared accounts under the reseller WHM? Are there any advantages or disadvantages using either method?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe first thing i'm thinking of is cpanel but there's many others If you're runing a server with 5000gb traffic/bandwidth per month When you're creating hosting accounts, could you allow 5000gb in
each new account you're creating?
Like if you had unmetered, you'd put unmetered in every new account Considering no account would ever reach any way near their monthly allowance.
Well I was thinking to buy three reseller accounts but everyone advice me to buy one VPS instead of 3 reseller accounts.
So my questions is:
Why VPS is better than reseller accounts?
I have 2 dedicated servers. Several of my clients have reseller accounts (so that they can sell their own hosting).
Can this also be done with a VPS? I mean, can I sell reseller accounts the same as I do on dedicated servers?
Webhostgiant.com, Asmallorange.com and Dayanahost.com are the companies which can be used for reselling, their plans are resourceful and support is their priority.
Pricing is affordable.
What is the easiest way to move accounts from a reseller to a VPS?

i figure everyone gets the same storefront, so really your success depends on how much you put into advertising, right?
Which company do you think is good to resell from?
It should be a decent and stable host I suppose... so Will cirtexhosting be the suitabke solution? Do you know what are they and how quality they are?
I have two reseller accounts with Innohosting and a hacker has got into several sites on both accounts. I have contacted Innohosting and hopefully will get an explanation soon.
But as this is very serious, I want to put it out on this forum also.
At first I thought they must have cracked my FTP access, but they have got into several sites on both reseller accounts so they must have gained access to the server itself, I suspect.
how to stop these lowlifes striking
I have a question
When I login to cpanel as reseller, I see all accounts from drop down menu.
Q1: If I do full backup from reseller's cpanel, will it backup all accounts that I see from drop down menu? Or should I login each account to backup one by one?
Q2: If I can backup all by backing up reseller's cpanel, can I restore all accounts by restoring reseller's cpanel from new server?
Just wondering the many different types of ways to do this..
I been trying to do it via cPanel, but it seems my Reseller for my old site, has disallowed ssh for me.
Just wondering ,if its possible to do with ssh, or any other way!
thanks so much
I was just wondering if someone has made a new tool/script yet that will allow yo to transfer CPanel accounts in bulk (not the old way of doing them one by one) to another server (VPS/Dedicated) without having root access?
Like I know in order to use the WHM's transfer from server to server you need root access on both servers, but I'm asking, if you have a Reseller account, and a VPS/Dedicated server, I know last time I checked the only way to transfer accounts over was by making a Backup file for each account and then transfering it over which can take a while if you are doing a lot of accounts.
I run an established web design business, and currently host my client sites at resellerzoom.com
I offer hosting to my customers and the numbers are growing so I need to upgrade to something more robust, but keep the end-user support (my customers can get support directly from host, and they will attempt to operate without their branding)
Here are my requirements:
End user support
WHM/Cpanel preferrably (or plesk equivelant)
512 - 1GB ram
50 - 100GB monthly transfer
I have been looking at modvps.com as they are owned by Hosting Zoom, which also owns resellerzoom.com
I have two servers, a plesk 11 installation and a plesk 12. Running Centos.
On the plesk 11, set up by others, I have a nameserver running NS1.xxxx.net & ns2.xxxx.net point to the IP of the server.
I want to create a nameserver on the plesk 12 -- can't see how to do this. Is there a nameserver setup function in plesk 12?
More advanced question:
The domain name xxx.net is hosted at 1&1 where I have put the IP of the plesk 11 server in the A records for ns1.xxxx.net and ns2.xxxx.net. I have pointed ns3.xxxx.net and ns4.xxx.net at the IP of the Plesk 12 server -- as I would like to use these addresses for consistency. If necessary, I'll use ns1/ns2.yyyy.net.
