SERVER 1 - SHARED ACCOUNTS
SERVER 2 - RESELLER ACCOUNTS
On server 2, all of a sudden my resellers are complaining that the accounts they create are not working, so I checked out.. and I realised that the accounts all have 'Unknown' as the IP.
So, steps I took so far...
1. Rebuilt Apache
2. Restarted the server
After each of these steps I have created new accounts, and still I have this error.
In the past I have always used Cpanel to create my web directories and databases. I would like to move away from using this panel and like to learn to create it all from the prompt.
I'm new to Linux server concept. Can anybody tell me how to create subdomain in linuAlready I have domain "x" in my server, I want to create subdomain for domain "x". How can I do it without using CPanel
The thing is I need a bigger server, but at the same time I'm having problems with cpanel and centos and I'm quite bored. So now I want to migrate from my cpanel server to the plesk server keeping the domain and it's content. I tried to create a ticket in plesk support but either I didn't bought the server yet. So, what's the quickier and safest way to migrate? Is there any script?
I have a cpanel server(not sure if that matters). I wanna transfer to another cpanel server. The size is about 3TB, I dont have enough on the hard drive to zip then transfer that way, and cpanel cant handle moving such a large migration.Been searching on the net to find an answer but everyone saying to backup then migrate. whats best tar or rsync or somthing else.
While communicating with cpanel , they said they don't support on any NAT router based network. To host website with cpanel internet should be connected directly with modem (no router) I have a dell poweredge server and recently brought PCI modem. I have 8 IP static addresses from my ISP. cpanel as they said that they don't support networking.
Im trying to make a webserver at home. I have a static IP Address of my ISP (o2) I have built a server ( 2.8 p4HT, 2GB Ram, 500GB HDD) Just to test... But, i dont know what to do in the IP Address settings for the IPv4 ( I think thats what it is) Do i put my static IP address in my ISP gave me, or the local IP of the server ( Wich is 192.168.1.72) Im realy confused. Ive tried everything i can think of, Reinstalled the os about 40 times up to now...
I'm using sendmail and I'm trying to set up some forwarding accounts. It seems simple enough but all the results I've gotten on Google so far are pretty unhelpful. Isn't there a straightforward tutorial somewhere?
I tried posting this before and I'm not sure what happened but I don't think it worked, so if it did please forgive the double post.am very very new to centOS and linux in general. I just want to setup a test web server that more closely mirrors our actual web server that is hosted by rackspace. I've installed centOS and tried to setup Apache, PHP and MySQL from a guide on the web using Yum. When I go to localhost in the web browser I'm able to see the default apache page. However when I create a php page it's just blank.When I look at the apache error logs I get this: PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
I've been searching alot on the internet and I know the issue is permission related, but I don't know how to fix it. I've seen some forum posts that say you need to use the chmod 775 command on the /var/www/html folder.Currently when I do ls -l /var/www/html it returns
-rw------- 1 root root 19 May 5 13:16 index.php -rw------- 1 root root 19 May 5 13:15 index.php~
I'm sure that this isn't correct but like I said I don't know much about how to set permissions or who the owner needs to be. I've done alot of searching and seen similar posts, but no one seems to explain it clearly.
I am looking at creating two user accounts for "contract system admins"..These guys will be performing sys admin duties for a sever -- however, I am still concerned about security of data. For example, the server contains password information for our database, etc.Besides making them sign an NDA, etc. what other security mechanisms could I put in place to ensure that they don't just go buck wild. For example, when someone makes a sudo command, is this logged?
what are some recommendations for general security practices?
i'm configuring sendmail for a little office but i was requested for two domains e.g. [URL] and [URL] i've created this two domains but at the moment i create a user account how could i make the difference between wich domain the user belongs?
What is the least painful way to temporarily prevent uploads to an FTP server by certain accounts? they all only upload directly to their home directory setup in /etc/password
I've got a dedicated server using whm/cpanel and there is a particular domain being hosted which contains a very elaborate .htaccess file which is full of mod_rewrite rules, among other things. I've been asked to try and get the contents of this .htaccess file into the httpd.conf (or some appropriate include file) to improve performance.
I've been reading this page and it's really confusing me: [url]
In the file usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf I see that there are two VirtualHost sections that appear to be relevant for my domain (which I'll call mydomain.com). The first listens on port 80 and the second is on 443. Seems to me that my apache directives in .htaccess would belong in this section. In the first section I see this:
Code:
In the second section I see this:
Code:
The problem with both of these is that the directory /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata does not exist, much less the full path to either of those files.
My Linux laptop has recently been hanging for no apparent reason, and so I have been using a Mac OS X laptop in the meantime. I just installed Thunderbird and wanted to copy all my preferences and account settings to the new laptop. All email accounts are IMAP based.Can I simply copy the data, or does Thunderbird for OS X store data in a different format from OS X? What about if I wanted to copy the preferences to Thunderbird under Windows? Finally, what files do I copy? I haven't powered up the Linux laptop yet but I'm guessing there's a ~/.thunderbird/ directory, can I just copy this to the Mac?
I have been using a cron job to duplicate a folder into another users account every day and someone suggested using symbolic links instead although I cannot get them to work. In summary user GAMER generates log files that they want to access via HTTP, however I only have a web-server in the user account SERVER, in the past I would copy the logs folder from GAMERS account into SERVER/public_html/. and then chmod the files so the server could access them. Trying to use symbolic links I set up a link from root (as only root can access both accounts) I used: ln -s /home/GAMER/game/logs/ /home/SERVER/public_html/logs
However it seems that only root can use this link, I tried chmoding the link, all the files in the gamers /game/logs/*, /game/logs itself to 777 as well as changing chown and chgrp to server the files still cannot be read. When viewed from servers account my shell shows the link and where it is to hi-lighted in black with red text. /home/GAMER/game/ (chmod & chgrp) drwxrwxrwx 3 SERVER SERVER 4096 2011-01-07 15:46 logs /home/SERVER/public_html (chmod -h & chgrp -h)
I am trying to figure out a way to pull the user information from local users on a Linux server. I have approximately 40 servers running SUSE and Ubuntu that are using Microsoft Active Directory in order to authenticate. Our internal auditing group has made us disable root ssh ability, I was doing this with clusterssh, but I can login as me then su on the server to conduct root, admin, work. This is an ongoing request to get the local users and it is a painfully slow process since I have to login to each server to get the /etc/passwd file. Is there another way to get the local user information? They are now asking about seeing the last logon date or if the account is disabled, any thoughts there as well?Most of our auditors think Windows and I am trying to make my life easier but not sure what options I have. I need to get local accounts and if they are active or disabled plus last logon date. I'm sure there will be more but if I can get the basics adding more shouldn't be too difficult but I guess I'll cross that bride when I get there.
I am trying to create users accounts reading from a file. I can get it to show if the user already exists but I want it to instead of not creating the user account to create e.g. Scott1 etc.The code i have so far is :
I have couple of users in one machine. I can access the /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow and /etc/group files in this box. I have another box. I want to create some user accounts in the second box by just looking in the passwd, shadow and group files in the first box. I would just copy over the corresponding lines into the corresponding for whichever accounts I want to create as new and also change the lines for which I want to update the account information. Is this possible and will also the passwords work fine? Please also let me know there is any good tool for automatically doing this kind of stuff. Both the boxes that I have are Ubuntu machines though one is running Ubuntu 8.04 and the other is 10.04.
i have a linux box at work that was configed by some that has left the company. we have an email add: e.g test@test.com, if you enter that mail add to a new email it then sends the mail to several email accounts the are on the server.i would like to remove and add new users onto that email address, is there anyone out there that can help?
The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab. The problem is this would only apply to a single account, and I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (I have more than 100 users...).
Update: I can achieve the same effect as I would by changing it in sound preferences using the following command: pacmd 'set-sink-port' 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo analog-output-mono;output-amplifier-on' Unfortunately that's still not system-wide,
I wrote a small script that gets me the list of enabled system accounts in my system.
I figure '*' & '!' (in field #2 of /etc/shadow) mean that the account is disabled or they cannot login, hence 'safe-to-ignore'
Code: IFS=$' ' for i in `cat /etc/passwd` #get each line in the passwd file do var1=`echo $i | cut -d':' -f3` #get user ID field if [ $var1 -lt 500 ] && [ $var1 -gt 0 ] #compare to extract relevant IDs
[Code].....
BTW i figure the following command gives me the list of system users, but i am not able to find a way to process it further... :-(
