Check Repair & Optimize mysql Databases:

You can use either Mysqlcheck or Myisamchk to Check and/or Repair database tables. Mysqlcheck and Myisamchk are similar in purpose, there are some essential differences. Mysqlcheck as well as Myisamchk can Check, Repair and Analyze MyISAM tables. Mysqlcheck can also check InnoDB tables, so if database engine used for the databases is other than MyISAM, i.e InnoDB then try to use Mysqlcheck cmd.
———————————————————————————————————
++  Check, Repair and Optimize Using mysqlcheck cmd:
———————————————————————————————————

+  Check, Repair and Optimize All tables in All Databases when you’re running a MySQL server on Linux.
# mysqlcheck –auto-repair –check –optimize –all-databases

OR
# mysqlcheck –all-databases -r   #repair databases
# mysqlcheck –all-databases -a   #analyze databases
# mysqlcheck –all-databases -o   #optimize databases

=> Check, Repair and Optimize Single Database Tables.
# mysqlcheck –auto-repair –check –optimize CpanelUsername_Databasename
# mysqlcheck -ro CpanelUsername_Databasename

=> To repair One Table in database:
# mysqlcheck -ro CpanelUsername_Databasename table_name

———————————————————————————————————
++ Check, Repair and Optimize Using mysqlcheck myisamchk cmd:
———————————————————————————————————
=> For All tables in All Databases:

Shows you if any need repair:
# myisamchk –check /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

Then try ‘safe-recover’ first:
# myisamchk –safe-recover /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

and, if neither “safe-recover” or “recover” option works:
# myisamchk –recover /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

Then use the ‘force’ flag:
# myisamchk –recover –extend-check –force /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

=> For Single Database:
myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/[CpanelUsername_Databasename]/*
OR

cd /var/lib/mysql/[CpanelUsername_Databasename]/
To check the tables:
# myisamchk *.MYI
To repair tables:
# myisamchk -r *.MYI

Note: You can use Mysqlcheck or Myisamchk cmd line options as per your requirenemt.

Assign/change a wesite’s IP address on a cPanel cmd

Assign/change a wesite’s IP address on a cPanel server via cmd:

# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/setsiteip -u $user $ip
$user will be the Cpanel username and the $ip will be the Dedicated/Shared IP

e.g: # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/setsiteip -u linucha 76.74.254.123

Change cPanel password from Cmd:

1) You can change the Cpanel password using below cmd as well as you need to Synchronize the password with your default FTP user, if you are unable to use the new password to connect to ftp account.# /scripts/chpass Username Password

Username : cPanel account username
Password : New password that to be set

Note: Your password should not contain special characters

2) Synchronize the new password with the default FTP user

# /scripts/ftpupdate

Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to validate setting for cpmod...) ==cpanel /script/restorepkg error

Extracting tarball................... ............... ............... Done
Extracting Domain....Done
Generating Account....

Account Creation Status: failed (Unable to validate setting for cpmod...)

Extract Failed
Invalid Account

Solution:

1) In order to get this issue resolved first of all you need to extract the backup file in test directory:

2) then go to the the directory which you just extracted then go to cp directory

3) there you will get the file with cpanel username you need to edit that file and check for

FEATURELIST and RS

if these values are something custom then you need to set them as :

FEATURELIST=default
RS=x3

save this file and now compress the backup again and try to restore it.

It should get restored without any issues.

install php shield in phpmotion

Installing phpShield Loaders
The first thing we need to do is check a couple of PHP settings. The easiest way to do this is with a phpinfo file. If you don't know how to create a phpinfo file, you can
Now that you have a php info file, upload it to your website's public_html directory and view it in your browser by typing http://www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php in your address bar. You want to find/verify the following in your phpinfo.php file:Your PHP version
Thread Safety is disabled
enable_dl is set to on
The path to your extension_dir
Path to your php.ini file
Now connect to your webserver using your favorite SSH client and login as root.
Create a new working directory then change directories:

mkdir ~/phpshield cd ~/phpshield

Download the phpSHIELD loaders:

wget http://phpshield.com/loaders/phpshield.loaders.linux.zip

or if you have a 64 bit OS (most people will have a 32 bit OS so you will most likely use the code above)

wget http://phpshield.com/loaders/phpshield.loaders.linux-64.zip

Extract the loaders:

unzip phpshield.loaders.linux.zip

If you do a directory list: ls

you will see a bunch of files named phpshield.4.3.lin to phpshield.5.2.lin

. What we want to do here is find the phpshield file with the number that matches your PHP version. You can find your PHP version at the very top of your phpinfo file from earlier.
Now we need to copy the appropriate phpshield loader file to your PHP extensions directory.

cp ~/phpshield/phpshield.x.x.lin /path/to/your/php/extensions/directory

Replace x.x above with your PHP version and use the path to your PHP extensions directory (you should have found this in step 2 above.)

Open your php.ini file

nano /path/to/php/ini/php.ini

 

You should have found the path to your php.ini file in your phpinfo.php file from earlier.

Append the following to the Dynamic Extensions section of your php.ini file:

extension=phpshield/phpshield.x.x.lin

Replace x.x with the number on the phpshield file you moved earlier.

Finally, restart httpd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
