how do you guys reset the Administrator (for windows) and root password (linux)?
Do you guys use any kind of tools, boot-cd, software?
Everyday after Backup Panel (Tasks from Backup Manager), I receive next error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Resolve -> only reconfigure domain. How can I automatic fix this problem?
today i changed the password for the admin panel for a customer (username eg. mylogin). 10 minutes later he called me and said that he cannot get into his emailaccount anymore. Checked the password and saw that the emailpassword for his emailaddress (eg. mylogin@mydomain.com) is now the same from the admin panel login. So i changed the emailpassword and checked the admin panel login - it now has the emailpassword. What a mess.. I'm running Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU47.

I had an issue with limestonenetworks over the last 24 hours. My 2 servers went down for 12 hours but when it came back up the separate mysql server would not load?? Somehow the hard drive on that server failed during this upgrade and they cannot retrieve the databases on the server. A database containing over 60,000 members. Through my own undoing I didnt have a recent backup. A cpanel backup was backing up the same old file instead of the updated one.
I would have been happy if the site came back and at least the data was still there. Im just upset that this "network upgrade" has fried my database. From this I get the lesson "You get what you pay for". Im just keeping my fingers crossed that they will be kind enough to make a serious attempt to recover the data or at least let me send it to someone who can.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get retrieve data from a linux server hard-drive?
Here are the steps that have been taken so far:
Upon console of the server it was at DISK BOOT FAILURE prompt. We first did the basics and disconnected the server and made sure all connections to the hard disk and motherboard were secure. Upon reboot we checked to see if the BIOS detected the drive which it did. The server still reported disk boot failure. We then rebooted back into the BIOS to make sure the BIOS was set not skipping the hard drive in the boot process.
It was not.
The "recovery tools" we ran was just a basic linux live cd to see if we could get the hard drive detected inside of an operating system. It would not even detect the disk in the machine. We did not perform anything on the drive to cause it to fail. I spoke directly to my manager who was supervising the move and I was told that all servers were shut down cleanly as well as moved safely and securely.
The hard disk is still detected by the BIOS but the hard disk certainly has some internal issues as you can hear a constant buzzing and clicking during POST and after.
I had a server with XX datacenter. They've formatted my server and I MUST recover files immediately..
Server is running centOS 5.x and it has been formatted + rebooted 2-3 times.
How can I rescue files now?
I bought domain name and web hosting from a company. Now the problem is that the company from which I booked domain and hosting doesn't exist.
Initially the hosting company sent me only FTP and mail server details. Now I need the cPanel details to configure database. So kindly request all of you to suggest me some solutions through which I can get the cPanel details.
my freebsd server suffered power outage and now at boot it shows

But that is it, it does not respond to ping or ssh?
Database Recover from Backups costs $30 from aspnix.com.
Is that price fair for that service?
I have a crashed HD that I want to recover the data. I wonder if there is any method or software out there that can do this for me.
The hard drive is installed with centos and uses ext3 filesystem.
I have tried doing a mount, not if it is done correctly, but I only see "lost+found" on the hard drive.
Usually when this happens on my hard drive w/ windows, I use some data recovery software to extract the data. I don't know which software will do this for me on an ext3 filesystem running centos.

I am putting this thread to take other people advise and to advise them about my bad experience with rsync. Lucky, I was able to get my data back through the old drive
Three times a day, I take mysqldump and then rsync that mysql dump to a drive located in a different state.
Everything was working fine..The rsync was transferring data daily and updating the backup on other server. Few days ago, there was a hard drive failure on my server and then i checked in my backup drive for mysql dump...It was 764 bytes instead of 5 Gb...
Then i went to my other server where I rsync, to my surprise that was also 764 bytes from 5 Gb as it synced the both database..
My backup strategy failed and would be in tears if I couldn't grap data from failed drive
I would like to hear everyone views on this and learn from it
I just recently had a hard drive failure that produced the following error
root@re:/# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
ide: failed opcode was: unknown

hda: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

The host is going to mount this HD on the same machine after adding a new hard drive and fresh install... Does anyone have any recommendations for how I can go about recovering data? Specifically mysql databases?
My server with Plesk 11 died a few days ago. I now have a new server with Plesk 12.
I have the entire /var folder copied up from the old server.
How do I restore emails to the new server? Can I simply copy /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.name from the backed up /var folder into the corresponding folder on the new server?
My server hard disk is crashed badly. The rescue function in the server cannot take part and so I've tried using some recovery software to get back my data.
I've tried using Easy Recovery Professional. It sort all the files by it file type into different folder. I found a folder named .DB, there are also some .ado and . ldb folder too. I guess one of it is my database. The problem now is, i dunno how to read the file.
Do you have any idea to read it? I've tried many recovery system. eg. DiskInternals Linux Recovery, Disk Doctor Linux Recovery.
it is a linux server
Webmail using, in the "Inbox" I chose all the mail and accidentally pressed the "clear folder" letters deleted or i am can be restored? I need to return the letter....
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I have never used cPanel neither have whatsoever experience with control panels, in the process of ordering a couple of new server I am wondering what's the average recovery time after a server failure which involves data (ie. disk failure).
I am interested to understand this, because I need to choose between hardware raid or backup disk.
For example, at LiquidWeb (this is just one of the many managed providers i am evaluating) you can pay the same server 264$ with 2x250 hardware raid 1, and 219$ with 2x250 simple hard drives, where the second one is supposed to be a backup drive.
I am yet to ask, but on this servers most likely (at this prices) they do not have hot swappable disk drives where they can rebuild the array "live", so also if i choose raid hardware, in case of a disk failure, i face a downtime to bring down the server, rebuild the array, bring on the server, which I guess is something not less than 30-60 minutes downtime.
The advantage of this solution is that a disk failure keeps the system running, so you can schedule a maintenance window to replace the disk and rebuild the array, I guess.
On the other side, relying on a backup disk (and of course rsyncing data to an offsite server, i would do this anyway) you save 45$ each month, and disks after all do not fail every month.
If the main disk fails, they need to replace the disk, install again the server with what I suppose being a standard image (so let's figure a couple of hours, as they have a 30min hardware replacement sla), then you need to restore backups (which in my case are something like 20gigs). So I guess, on an average, it would take something like 4 hours downtime.
Am I correct ?
What would you reccomend as a solution with cpanel, taking into account the huge price difference ? Backup drive or Hardware raid ?
This would be for a single big website, not a hosting-company with resellers and customers environment, so I would value more the monthly saving, rather than the high availability, but of course I am interested to know what is the average time to recover a cpanel server after a drive failure.
Besides I have also another question, as I have never had a colocated server with raid hardware, so i do not know anything about this.
When a drive fails in a raid1 hardware environment, how the hosting provider gets notified ? I suppose it's not a led on the server to blink, as no one would see it.
So if you have software raid (like my computer at home) you get an email from mdadm with "warning, array degraded", so you know it quick and you can check it anytime doing a ' cat /proc/mdstat '. What about hardware raid?
My fear is that nobody notices my raid1 drive failure, the server keeps going on just a drive, then maybe the other drive fails, and it would be unpleasant: while a single drive failure would be obviously very easy to spot for me.
Windows Application 2003 crashed on RAID 5 server, we tried to take the NTFS files from the hardrive and mount them on a knobix which was booted from a cdrom drive. Knopix could read the files but it was unable to mount them I guess for compatiblity reasons.
Is there anyway we can get a backup of that ntfs file and restore our data?
