one day later, if I run the following command again, the command is same as the one run by the first time.
rsync -avz username@IP:/home/asite/public_html/ /home/asite/public_html/
does it mean rsync will just check and copy the newer folders and files from the last copy?
This is a rare issue i have on a RHEL 5.2 + cPanel server.
Server time is:
Tue Nov 11 17:02:51 CST 2008
Squirrelmail time show:
Code:
Last Refresh:
Tue, 5:02 pm
So, that is correct too..
But email arrives with -4 hours time, example:
webmaster@xxx.com 1:03 pm testing email
I already rebooted httpd, exim, and imap server, and the server itself too.. and problem stills.
I got report from webceo that I have some issues. May someone help me fix this?
DNS Lookup: 0.22 sec
Connect time: 0.33 sec
Host ping: 0.10 sec
That mean too slow with the other sites!
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:
network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.
If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?
What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.
Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service?
How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?
I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.
The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:
- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10
- Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4
- PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9
- operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:
1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is:
[Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is:
[Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...
Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...
2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.
3.- The majority of the errors being logged are:
[Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]
I made some data backup on one of the backup servers using rsync. How can I restore it to the new server now?
My account is ready on new vps and all I need is pull the data back from backup server to new vps account.
I used this command previously
Quote:
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/user1 backupuser@backup.server.com:user1
i have two srevers one is Dedicated Server and the secound is for backup .
well , i login to the backup server and creat ftp account .
i wanna make the server save the weekly backup .
the backup path is /backup
the copmany of the backup server said "
To RSync your data to your backup server, type:
"rsync -av --progress -e ssh @"
this will put all the files in your home
directory..."
i dont know how to use this command on the Dedicated Server .
Is there anything better then rsync to replicate files (twice a day) on servers located in seperate datacenters?
Looking for more of a free to cheap solution though will also be interested in the higher end solutions later on.
I search over the forum as many members recommend rsync over the backup option builit in cPanel/WHM. May I know why cPanel/WHM's is not recommended?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes rsync required to be installed on both servers for it to work? Can rsync work with ftp only on the remote server?
Can you guys list some typical rsync shell command to help me get started...
I am using BQbackup to auto backup my CPanel VPS and was wondering whether it is best to use CPanel's own backup service which automatically backs-up the vps daily or should I use the rsync script that bqbackup provides?
Which is easier to restore and more reliable?
Looking for an RSYNC tutorial, something that focuses on backing http data, exporting the databases then transferring offsite to a receiving rsync server once a week.
Something that's understandable and logical would be great, happy to work through over the next week and continue more in depth with it.
I have been trying to setup rsync on my server and following these instructions
http://www.bqbackup.com/setup.html
The problem is I keep getting errors.
On this step,
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N
I edited it and did ssh-keygen -t rsa --N becauseI got an error saying it need the '--' before the N.
So after getting through that part, I got these questions asked
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
I left the passphrase empty, and then when it asked where to save to, I just typed in 'rsa'. Then it gave me some fingerprint.
Then I get to the step,
# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com:keys/server1
# ssh yourusername@yourusername.bqbackup.com mergekeys
But I get errors saying
-bash: cat~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory
I dont get what I'm doing wrong. If somebody doesnt mind, can you please re-write the steps on getting this working, or maybe tell me where I am going wrong if the tutorial is correct?
Current, 2.6.3 came with my centos 4.4 cpanel server, I tried updating it to latest 2.6.9. However, when I type "rsync" it's pointing to 2.6.3 How can I remove the old version or reinstall over it?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a strange problem, I have an rsync command setup in the servers crontab and from the cron log it show it ran the command but the files don't copy to the backup server. If I take the rsync syntax and run it manually all the files copy across with no errors, but I can't figure out why the cronjob doesn't work properly.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to configure rsync to backup my vps data to an rsync backup provider.
The problem that I am having is that each time I try to run rsync it prompts for the passphrase.
I did some reading and it seems (and maybe this is not correct), that in order to do unattended rsync (e.g. using cron), that you need to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase generated.
If this is the case, is it true that it's not a good idea to use a key that doesn't have a passphrase?
I got one of those cheap $10 servers from hostmds to use to backup my vps.
Know I just need to know how do I setup rsync to backup my vps nightly? Any links to good guides to do this would be great. I looked on google, but am hoping someobody knows a guide that is simple to follow.
I am in the process of setting up a cronjob so I can run rsync automatically every day.
But I want to know is it ok to exclude the following folders?
/home/.cpcpan/
/home/cpeasyapache/
/home/src/ <!--- This folder I made to put files in before I install
/home/MySQL-install/
/home/.cpan/
As from what I understand cPanel/WHM makes these folders, and there no user data in these folders
I have wrote a small script which copies file names which has name as *default* from backup to users main folder. It works fine with one folder but doesn't copy files from sub-folders.
it works with all the sub-folders as well?
HTML Code:
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(ls /var/cpanel/users)
do
rsync -vrplogDtH /backup/cpbackup/weekly/$i/homedir/public_html/*default* /home/$i/public_html
chown -R $i.$i /home/$i/public_html/*default*
done
FTP backups, doing RSYNC what is needed?
I have a linux box with pure-ftpd as FTP backup server. However, we want to explore/expand to RSYNC now.
Is there a package that allows RSYNC to be used for FTP users?
This is basically like what do FTP services like BQbackup use to allow RSYNC, etc.

I just signed up with Rsync Palace for remote backups 2 days ago. Otto and Darin at Rsync Palace gladly helped me out and actually ended up setting me up for free. It's really an inexpensive price to pay for a little additional piece of mind to have a remote backup.
I have a VPS with cPanel that has NAS on a private network. The way they set it up was for Cpanel cron job to create backups of my VPS and place the backups in a /backup folder off root; Daily, Weekly and Monthly.
Then they have Rsync via cron set up to take those backups to the remote Rsync Palace server daily.
I still want to maintain backups on my NAS in the datacenter. (cPanel will only backup remotely or locally, but not both.)
In addition to Rsync securely transferring my data to Rsync Palace for offsite backups... How can I set up Rsync to ftp the same /backup data across the private network to the NAS? (Only ftp is available via the NAS.)
I use bqbackup.com in addition to ServInt's backup. The ServInt backup is inaccessible to me and can be restored only by their NoC.
Is there a way for me to download the backup files from bqbackup.com to my PC? I am using Win XP Pro. I backup the entire VPS, but I want to be downloading only the changes made each day after the initial download to my PC.
I'm running rsync in cron jobs. is there a way to be notified via email when the job is done plus the log? I'd really like to know how long it's taking to complete and whether it's running properly or not.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to recover some backups on the server by rsync the home dir from BQbackup to my server. I deleted 1 file to see whether it actually works. I executing this command on the server:
rsync -avz -e ssh username@username.bqbackup.com:path.to.home.dir /home
I saw that it downloaded the file I deleted, however after checking on FTP if the file was recovered it actually wasn't. Is there something wrong in the command I used as it seems that it is not recovering any files.

It is my understanding I can use rsync to mirror the two. But, will that cover everything (ie. database, mail, etc) or only files?
im trying to setup rsync to mirror my FreeBSD box to my CentOS box.
I have rsync moving everything in /etc/, /usr/, /home/. The rsync daemon is hard to get running on CentOS (need to make startup scripts and all) so I was wondering if I can just make a user on the centOS box for rsync:rsync and transfer it as root fromt he freeBSD box to the centOS box using ssh keys. Can I do this?
Someone said this won't be possible because rsync:rsync will not be able to read the files owned by root:wheel. Is this true?
