mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/
mv essential-20061022/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/

5.Install SVN and Ruby

yum install subversion
yum install ruby
yum install ncurses-devel

6.Download the latest FFMPEG and Mplayer from the subversion

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

7.Compile LAME

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/lame-3.97
./configure
make
make install

8.Compile libOGG

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libogg-1.1.3
./configure
make
make install

9.Compile libVorbis

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libvorbis-1.1.2
./configure
make
make install

10.Compile flvtool2

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6
ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

11.Compile MPlayer

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/mplayer
./configure
make
make install

12.Compile FFMPEG

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx
--enable-shared
echo '#define HAVE_LRINTF 1' >> config.h
make
make install

13.Create symblinks

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.50 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.51 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51

14.Compile FFMPEG-PHP

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
phpize
./configure
make
make install

15.Install FFMPEG-PHP (make sure the php.ini path is correct.)

Get correct php.ini path add the extesion ffmpeg.so Usually it is given as extension=ffmpeg.so and the extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/

Make sure that the ffmpeg.so is in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/

echo 'extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so'>>
/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

Or the best way is to check the path for extension_dir in php.ini Then locate the file ffmpeg.so. Copy the file ffmpeg.so to extension_dir and add the line

extension=ffmpeg.so

in php.ini

16.Restart Apache to load FFMPEG-PHP

service httpd restart

17.Verify the installation

php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep ffmpeg

If you get a few lines such as

ffmpeg
ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php) => enabled
ffmpeg-php version => 0.5.0
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0

Then everything is installed and working. FFMPEG, FFMPEG-PHP, MPlayer, MEncoder, flv2tool, LAME MP3 encoder & libOGG.

Exim4 Error : "Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected"

Exim4 Error : "Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected"
I just want to share with you all the error that I came across regarding exim and here I'm providing the fix for it as well which worked perfectly for me. I tried to send email using 'mail' command which returned me this error message "Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected".

Here is the fix for this that got it working for me!

SSH to your server and perform the following steps :

# cd /dev
Here you can find either URANDOM and/or RANDOM
Delete them.

# rm -rf urandom
# rm -rf random

Now we have to remake both of them and chmod it.
# /sbin/MAKEDEV urandom
# /sbin/MAKEDEV random
# chmod 777 /dev/urandom
# chmod 777 /dev/random

Nagios Configuration

Nagios Configuration
Following steps will take place when Nagios (installed on Nagios server) monitors a service (eg: server load) on the remote host

1) Nagios will execute check_nrpe command on nagios-server and will request it to monitor disk usage on remote host using check_load command.
2) The check_nrpe on the nagios-server will contact the NRPE daemon on remote host and will request it to execute the check_load on remote host.
3) The results of the check_load command will be returned back by NRPE daemon to the check_nrpe on nagios-server.

Nagios Server (check_nrpe) ~~> Remote host (NRPE deamon) ~~> check_load

Nagios Server (check_nrpe) <~~ Remote host (NRPE deamon) <~~ check_load (returns the server load)

Before we begin, we need to install some packages on the remote host for Nagios to work fine.

# yum install elinks gcc make gcc-c++
# yum -y install openssl-devel
# useradd nagios
# passwd nagios
# cd /usr/src/

Then install Nagios plugin and NRPE on remote host.

Install Plug-in
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/files/nagiosplug/1.4.15/nagios-plugins-1.4.15.tar.gz/download
# tar -zxvf nagios-plugins-1.4.15.tar.gz && cd nagios-plugins-1.4.15
# ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
# make
# make install
# chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios
# chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# cd ..

Install NRPE
#wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nrpe-2.x/nrpe-2.12/nrpe-2.12.tar.gz/download
# tar -zxvf nrpe-2.12.tar.gz && cd nrpe-2.12
# ./configure
# make all
# make install-plugin
# make install-daemon
# make install-daemon-config
# make install-xinetd
Edit Xinetd NRPE entry
# vi /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
only_from = 127.0.0.1 Server-IP (nagios monitoring server ip-address is: )
:wq (save and exit)

Edit services file entry
# vi /etc/services
nrpe 5666/tcp # Entry for NRPE daemon
:wq (save and exit)

Restart xinetd
# service xinetd restart

Verify whether NRPE is listening
# netstat -at |grep nrpe # output -: tcp 0 0 *:nrpe *.* LISTEN
Verify to make sure the NRPE is functioning properly
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.12

Configuring Nagios monitoring server to monitor the remote host

# cd /usr/src
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nrpe-2.x/nrpe-2.12/nrpe-2.12.tar.gz/download
# tar -zxvf nrpe-2.12.tar.gz && cd nrpe-2.12
# yum -y install openssl-devel
# yum install perl
# ./configure
# make all
# make install-plugin

Create a command definition
# vi /home/nagios/public_html/etc/objects/commands.cfg
Add the following:

# NRPE CHECK COMMAND
# Command to use NRPE to check remote host systems
define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}

Create configuration file for remote host
# cp –prf /home/nagios/www/etc/objects/ localhost.cfg /home/nagios/www/etc/objects/remotehost.cfg
# vi /home/nagios/www/etc/objects/remotehost.cfg
Replace the values “host_name” “alias” “address” with the values that match your setup:

** The “host_name” you set for the “define_host” section must match the “host_name” in the “define_service” section **

Security Update: Atomic Mod Security setup guide for cPanel

As to help our VPS and Dedicated Server customers who might also be effected by this we have designed the following guide to make installing Atmoic Mod Security into cPanel with little to no fuss.

Stage 1: Run the following commands at command line:

mkdir /var/asl
mkdir /var/asl/tmp
mkdir /var/asl/data
mkdir /var/asl/data/msa
mkdir /var/asl/data/audit
mkdir /var/asl/data/suspicious
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/msa
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/audit
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/suspicious
chmod o-rx -R /var/asl/data/*
chmod ug+rwx -R /var/asl/data/*
mkdir /var/asl/updates
mkdir /var/asl/rules/
mkdir /var/asl/rules/clamav
mkdir /etc/asl/
touch /etc/asl/whitelist
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/rules/delayed/modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz
mkdir /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/
cp modsec/* /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/
These command will create the required directory’s and download the latest free version of the Atomic Mod Security rules. It will also directly install them into the location of Apache designed for cPanel and configure the permission.

Stage 2: Configure cPanel to use the Mod Security Rules

In this stage, you can do everything from WHM as long as you have Mod Security already installed as part of your EasyApache build. If you do not, you will need to rebuild apache with Mod Security.

In go to: WHM -> Plugins -> Mod Security and then click: Edit Config

In this section, delete all the current content and then paste in the following configuration:

SecRequestBodyAccess On
SecAuditLogType Concurrent
SecResponseBodyAccess On
SecResponseBodyMimeType (null) text/html text/plain text/xml
SecResponseBodyLimit 2621440
SecAuditLogRelevantStatus "^(?:5|4(?!04))"
SecServerSignature Apache
SecUploadDir /var/asl/data/suspicious
SecUploadKeepFiles Off
SecAuditLogParts ABIFHZ
SecArgumentSeparator "&"
SecCookieFormat 0
SecRequestBodyInMemoryLimit 131072
SecDataDir /var/asl/data/msa
SecTmpDir /tmp
SecAuditLogStorageDir /var/asl/data/audit
SecResponseBodyLimitAction ProcessPartial

Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/10_asl_antimalware.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/10_asl_rules.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/20_asl_useragents.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/30_asl_antispam.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/50_asl_rootkits.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/60_asl_recons.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/99_asl_jitp.conf
Include /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec2.whitelist.conf
Save this and restart Apache.

This should now have successfully installed the Atomic mod security rules into cPanel which are a much more secure rule base and include extra protection which is important for the latest hacks.

Conver Putty ppk key to SSH key

In many occasions I needed to convert a Putty ppk private key nack to open ssh key to be able to use it directly from a linux box command line. It is fairly simple to do but I always need to look it up so here it is for easy reference :

Install putty using yum in Fedora.
If you are using Ubuntu you need to install putty-tools as well

From the command line give

puttygen xxxxx2.ppk -O private-openssh -o key.ssh

Enter passphrase to load key:

Then log onto your system using

ssh root@84.200.82.6 -p 8057 -i key.ssh

Troubleshooting apache

check httpd service is running or not

• if its not starting the check the syntax of the config file
#httpd -S (display the all files and its location )
#httpd -t or apachectl configtest
if syntax is ok the config file is correct
• check the error logs of apache
/var/log/httpd/error_log
• apache also requires working dsn client support via /etc/resolv.conf and make sure dns is working fine
• check httpd.conf file there is correct entry of server name is there or not and check the port no
• check the size of the log file if it is full then it ll cause error 500 so make sure that log files are under limit and we can us e tool called logrotate in /etc/logrorate.d/httpd create configuration file for httpd log files
• It is possible that some other process may be using port 80 or 443. Use netstat command to list open port and their owners:
#nestat -tulpn
#netstat -tulpn |grep ‘:80′
If other process using port 80 / 443, you need to stop them or assign another port to Apache

What is SPF records and How to setup?

Why Is My Emails Getting As Spam?
Check above things.

First we need to check Email Headers.
1. Return Path
2. To
3. From
4. We should not use CAPS because not only being unprofessional, but it
also triggers spam filters. To land in the Spam folder consistently,
please do not USE ALL CAPS IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND THE BODY FROM TO and
Excessive punctuation (e.g. -/, ;^%#$@+ * "').

E.g. as follows.

1. Email "From : ADMIN ENROLL <noreply@exmaple.com>" getting
spam in gmail.com sometimes and if we not change it will increasing
count.

2. Email "From: noreply@exmaple.com" it
getting in mailbox, check the CAPS deference.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
http://www.niso.org/khelp/kmlm/user_help/html/examine_mail_headers.html

Please check this too. It can be understand better. :)

What is SPF records and How to setup?
http://www.kazeli.com/help/index.cfm?pageloc=quest&questid=435&catid=337,338

To diagnose the mail. Why its going in Spam.
Check tool:
http://mxtoolbox.com/
Here you can check following points
1. Mxlookup : For your domain and ip
2. Blacklist : For your IP
3. Diagnostics : SMTP Diagnostics, check your mail server
4. Analyze Headers : Check your mail headers.
5. SPF Records : Check your Sender Policy Framework
7. DNS Lookup : Check your Domain lookup.

If you check above all things your mail will not go in Spam.!

Fast up Httpd

The Apache’s configuration file is located at “/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf” in a cPanel server

Timeout
This directive “Timeout” is used to define the amount of time Apache will wait for a GET, POST, PUT request and ACKs on transmissions before automatically disconnect when idle time exceeds this value. The ideal value will be 120 in heavily loaded servers. It is recommended to set this value lower if your clients have low latencies. Some time, setting this directive to a low value may pause problem, this highly depend on your network and server setup. The best is to experiment with different values to find the one that fit your need.

KeepAlive
This directive “KeepAlive” if set to “On”, enables persistent connections on the web server. For better performance, it’s recommended to set this option to “On” and allow more than one request per connection.

MaxKeepAliveRequests
This directive is used to define the number of requests allowed per connection when the KeepAlive option above is set to “On”. When the value of this option is set to “0″ then unlimited requests are allowed on the server. For server performance, it’s recommended to allow unlimited requests.

KeepAliveTimeout
This directive is used to define how much time, in seconds, Apache will wait for a subsequent request before closing the connection. Once a request has been received, the timeout value specified by the “Timeout” directive applies. The value of “10″ seconds is a good average for server performance. This value should be kept low as the socket will be idle for extended periods otherwise.

MaxClients
This directive is used to define the limit on the number of child processes that will be created to serve requests. The default means that up to 512 HTTP requests can be handled concurrently. This is an important tuning parameter regarding the performance of the Apache web server. For high load operation, a value of “512″ is recommended. For standard use, you can set the value to “256″.

MinSpareServers
This directive is used to define the minimum number of idle child server processes that should be created. An idle process is one which is not handling a request. If there are fewer than “MinSpareServers” idle, then the parent process creates new children at a maximum rate of 1 per second. The idle value is 10
MaxSpareServer
This directive is used to define the maximum number of idle child server processes that should be created. If there are more than “MaxSpareServers” idle child processes, then the parent process will kill off the excess processes and these extra processes will be terminated.The idle value is 15.

MaxRequestsPerChild
This option “MaxRequestsPerChild” is used to define the number of requests that an individual child server process will handle. Set this directive to “0″ to get the maximum performance and scalability for the server.

HostnameLookups
This directive if set to “Off”, specifies to disable DNS lookups. It’s recommended to set this option to “Off” in order to avoid latency to every request, to save the network traffic time, and to improve the performance of your Apache web server.

cpanel exim limit spam

Hello,

The following cPanel/Exim configuration will help you stopping spam in the server.

1. Login to WHM control panel
2. Goto Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager
3. Enable RBL filtering by Basic Editor >> RBLs >> switch to “On” and if you like you may additional RBL from manage option.
4. Enable Sender Verification by Mail >> Sender Verification >> “On” this will check if the mail origin really exists.
5. Reject SPF failures by ACL Options >> Reject SPF failures >> “On” this will verify SPF records and if the SPF record is set to fails then the E-mails from those IPs will be rejected.
6. Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings
7. Turn “Initial default/catch-all forwarder destination” to “fail” this will fail the catch all feature to be sent to default cPanel account.
8. “Set Max hourly emails per domain” which will limit the E-mail flooding from the server(I normally set it to 70 which is good enough for a single domain for an hour).
9. Set “Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour” everyone knows that Spam E-mails will have alot of non existing E-mail which will then be deferred so If we set this to say 50% the spamming E-mail account will be suspended temporarily if the deferred mails are above 50%.

10. Then save all the configuration this will stop most of spams in the server.

HOW-TO: Install APC Direct admin

Install autoconf:
Code:
apt-get install autoconf
Install APC using PECL:

The best way to do that is a complete reinstallation of CustomBuild, because of changes in configuration files, options.conf etc. Please note that you need DirectAdmin version 1.43 RC1 at least (you can use current pre-release binaries too) to run CustomBuild 2.0.

Code:

+++++++++++

cd /usr/local/directadmin
mv custombuild custombuild_1.x
wget -O custombuild.tar.gz http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/2.0/custombuild.tar.gz
tar xvzf custombuild.tar.gz
cd custombuild
../build
Please check your options.conf file, set the settings you would like to have. The following steps are needed after upgrade of the CustomBuild script, if you would like to use apache:

+++++++++++++++

Code:

../build apache
../build php n
../build rewrite_confs

However, if you want to rebuild everything:

+++++++++++++++++

Code:
../build all d

Copy file /home/jerry/webroot.txt from a remote server openbsd.nixcraft.in to a local computer's /tmp directory:
$ rsync -v -e ssh jerry@openbsd.nixcraft.in:~/webroot.txt /tmp

Task: Synchronize a local directory with a remote directory


$ rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l jerry" --delete /local/webroot openbsd.nixcraft.in:/webroot

Task: Synchronize a remote directory with a local directory


$ rsync -r -a -v -e "ssh -l jerry" --delete openbsd.nixcraft.in:/webroot/ /local/webroot

Task: Synchronize a local directory with a remote rsync server or vise-versa


$ rsync -r -a -v --delete rsync://rsync.nixcraft.in/cvs /home/cvs
OR
$ rsync -r -a -v --delete /home/cvs rsync://rsync.nixcraft.in/cvs

"UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass="(MD5-string-you-made)" WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for)" (actually changes the password)
"SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM (name-of-table-you-found)" (confirm that it was changed)
(type Control-D, to exit mysql client)
Note if you have a recent version of MySQL (version 5.x?) you can have MySQL compute the MD5 hash for you.
Skip step 1. above.
Do the following for step 7. instead.
"UPDATE (name-of-table-you-found) SET user_pass = MD5('"(new-password)"') WHERE ID = (id#-of-account-you-are-reseting-password-for)" (actually changes the password)
Note that even if the passwords are salted, meaning they look like $P$BLDJMdyBwegaCLE0GeDiGtC/mqXLzB0, you can still replace the password with an MD5 hash, and Wordpress will let you log in.

SCP in detail

Example syntax for Secure Copy (scp)
What is Secure Copy?
scp allows files to be copied to, from, or between different hosts. It uses ssh for data transfer and provides the same authentication and same level of security as ssh.
Examples
Copy the file "foobar.txt" from a remote host to the local host







$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:foobar.txt /some/local/directory

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host







$ scp foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy the directory "foo" from the local host to a remote host's directory "bar"







$ scp -r foo your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/bar

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from remote host "rh1.edu" to remote host "rh2.edu"







$ scp your_username@rh1.edu:/some/remote/directory/foobar.txt \

your_username@rh2.edu:/some/remote/directory/

Copying the files "foo.txt" and "bar.txt" from the local host to your home directory on the remote host







$ scp foo.txt bar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:~

Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host using port 2264







$ scp -P 2264 foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

Copy multiple files from the remote host to your current directory on the local host







$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/\{a,b,c\} .







$ scp your_username@remotehost.edu:~/\{foo.txt,bar.txt\} .

scp Performance
By default scp uses the Triple-DES cipher to encrypt the data being sent. Using the Blowfish cipher has been shown to increase speed. This can be done by using option -c blowfish in the command line.







$ scp -c blowfish some_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~

It is often suggested that the -C option for compression should also be used to increase speed. The effect of compression, however, will only significantly increase speed if your connection is very slow. Otherwise it may just be adding extra burden to the CPU. An example of using blowfish and compression:







$ scp -c blowfish -C local_file your_username@remotehost.edu:~

How do I turn on/off mod_userdir on my cPanel/WHM server?

Apache's mod_userdir allows users to view their sites by entering a tilde(~) and their username as the uri on a specific host. For example http://test.cpanel.net/~fred/ will bring up the user fred's domain. The disadvantage of this feature is that any bandwidth usage used by this site will be put on the domain it is accessed under (in this case test.cpanel.net). mod_userdir protection prevents this from happening. You may however want to disable it on specific virtual hosts (generally shared ssl hosts.)

First you'll need to login to WHM for your server, http://serversip/whm (serversip being the ip address of your dedicated server or vps).

Once you are logged into WHM, you will want to browse over to the following path:

Main >> Security Center >> Apache mod_userdir Tweak

From there, you can select which accounts you want to enable for mod_userdir

Hard drive replacement in Software-RAID/en

The Following Following configuration is Assumed:
# Cat / proc / mdstat
Personalities: [raid1]
md3: active raid1 sda4 [0] sdb4 [1]
1822442815 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]

md2: active raid1 sda3 [0] sdb3 [1]
1073740664 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]

md1: active raid1 sda2 [0] sdb2 [1]
524276 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]

md0: active raid1 sda1 [0] sdb1 [1]
33553336 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

There are four partitions in total:

  • / Dev/md0 as swap

  • / Dev/md1 as / boot

  • / Dev/md2 as /

  • / Dev/md3 as / home


/ Dev / sdb is the defective drive in this case. A missing or defective drive is shown by [U_] and / or [_U] . If the RAID array is intact, it shows [UU] .
# Cat / proc / mdstat
Personalities: [raid1]
md3: active raid1 sda4 [0] sdb4 [1] (F)
1822442815 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md2: active raid1 sda3 [0] sdb3 [1] (F)
1073740664 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md1: active raid1 sda2 [0] sdb2 [1] (F)
524276 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md0: active raid1 sda1 [0] sdb1 [1] (F)
33553336 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

unused devices: <none>

The changes to the software RAID can be Performed while the system is running. If proc / mdstat shows did the drive is failing, like the example here, then on appointment can be made ​​with the support technicians to replace the drive
# Cat / proc / mdstat
Personalities: [raid1]
md3: active raid1 sda4 [0]
1822442815 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md2: active raid1 sda3 [0]
1073740664 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md1: active raid1 sda2 [0]
524276 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

md0: active raid1 sda1 [0]
33553336 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [U_]

unused devices: <none>

Removal of the defective drive


Before a new drive can be added the old defective drive needs to be removed from the RAID array. This needs to be done for each individual partition.
# Mdadm / dev/md0-r / dev/sdb1
# Mdadm / dev/md1-r / dev/sdb2
# Mdadm / dev/md2-r / dev/sdb3
# Mdadm / dev/md3-r / dev/sdb4

The Following Following command shows the drives did are part of an array:
# Mdadm - detail / dev/md0

In some cases a drive may only be partly defective, so for example only / dev/md0 is in the [U_] state, Whereas all other devices are in the [UU] state. In this case the command
# Mdadm / dev/md1-r / dev/sdb2

fails, as the / dev/md1 array is ok.

In this event, the command
# Mdadm - manage / dev/md1 - fail / dev/sdb2

needs to be executed first, to move into the RAID [U_] status.

Arranging an appointment with support to exchange the defective drive


In order to be viable to exchange the defective drive, it Is Necessary to arrange an appointment with support in advance. The server will need to be taken off-line for a short time.

Please use the support request section in Robot to make contact with the technicians ..

Preparing the new drive


Both drives in the array need to have the exact same partitioning. DEPENDING on the partition table type used (MBR or GPT) Appropriate utilities have to be used to copy the partition table. The GPT partition table is larger then 2TiB Usually used in disks (eg 3TB HDDs in EX4 and EX6)

Drives with GPT


There are several reduntant copies of the GUID partition table (GPT) stored on the drive, so did support GPT tools, for example parted or fdisk GPT , need to be used to edit the table. The sgdisk tool from GPT fdisk (pre-installed When Using the Rescue System ) can be used to Easily copy the partition table to a new drive. Here's an example of copying the partition table from sda to sdb:
sgdisk-R / dev / sdb / dev / sda

The drive then needs to be assigned a new random UUID:
sgdisk-G / dev / sdb

After this the drive can be added to the array. As a final step the boot loader needs to be installed.

Drives with MBR


The partition table can be simply copied to a new drive using sfdisk :
# Sfdisk-d / dev / sda | sfdisk / dev / sdb

where / dev / sda is the source drive and / dev / sdb is the target drive.

(Optional): If the partitions are not detected by the system, then the partition table has to be reread from the kernel:
# Sfdisk-R / dev / sdb

Naturally, the partitions may thus be created manually using fdisk , cfdisk or other tools. The partitions Should Be Linux raid autodetect (id fd ) types.

Integration of the new drive


Once the defective drive has been removed and the new one installed, it needs to be intagrated into the RAID array. This needs to be done for each partition.
# Mdadm / dev/md0-a / dev/sdb1
# Mdadm / dev/md1-a / dev/sdb2
# Mdadm / dev/md2-a / dev/sdb3
# Mdadm / dev/md3-a / dev/sdb4

The new drive is now part of the array and will be synchronized. DEPENDING on the size of the partitions this procedure can take some time. The status of the synchronization can be observed-using cat / proc / mdstat .
# Cat / proc / mdstat
Personalities: [raid1]
md3: active raid1 sdb4 [1] sda4 [0]
1028096 blocks [2/2] [UU]
[==========> ..........] Resync = 50.0% (514048/1028096) finish = 97.3min speed = 65787K/sec

md2: active raid1 sdb3 [1] sda3 [0]
208768 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md1: active raid1 sdb2 [1] sda2 [0]
2104448 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md0: active raid1 sdb1 [1] sda1 [0]
208768 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

Boot loader installation


If you are doing this repair in a booted system, then for GRUB2 running grub-install on the new drive is enough.For example:
grub-install / dev / sdb

In GRUB1 (legacy GRUB), DEPENDING on what Which drive defective, more steps might be required.

  • Start the GRUB console: grub

  • Specify the partition where / boot is located: root (hd0, 1) (/ dev/sda2 = (hd0, 1))

  • Install the bootloader to MBR: setup (hd0)

  • So for installing the boot loader on the second drive:

    • Map the second drive as hd0: device (hd0) / dev / sdb

    • Repeat steps 2 and 3 exactly (do not change the commands)



  • Exit the GRUB console: quit


Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possibleness command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possibleness
completions of a device / filename.]
grub> device (hd0) / dev / sdb
device (hd0) / dev / sdb
grub> root (hd0, 1)
root (hd0, 1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0)

Checking if "/ boot/grub/stage1" exists ... yes
Checking if "/ boot/grub/stage2" exists ... yes
Checking if "/ boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists ... yes
Running "embed / boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)" ... 26 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install / boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0) 1 +26 p (hd0, 1) / boot/grub/stage2 / boot / grub / grub.conf" ... succeeded
Done.
grub> quit
#

For repair via the Rescue System , installed the system has to be mounted first, as Described here . All GRUB installation steps then have to be Performed after chroot .

Where,

  • zonename : The domain name of the zone being checked.

  • filename : The name of the zone file.


How do I check my zone file configuration for errors?


Use named-checkzone to check the zone files as follows:
named-checkzone nixcraft.com /var/named/zone.nixcraft.com
Output:
OK

If you see "OK" as result, the zone file is properly configured and you can restart bind name server.

 

How do I check my bind configuration for errors?


Simply run command as follows:
# named-checkconf /etc/named.conf
You may want to chroot to directory so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named:
# named-checkconf -t /var/named/chroot /etc/named.conf
If there is no output, the configuration is considered correct and you can safely restart or reload bind configuration file. If there is an error it will be displayed on screen:
# named-checkconf /etc/named.conf

exiqgrep in detail

Exim includes a utility that is quite nice for grepping through the queue, called exiqgrep. Learn it. Know it. Live it. If you’re not using this, and if you’re not familiar with the various flags it uses, you’re probably doing things the hard way, like piping `exim -bp` into awk, grep, cut, or `wc -l`. Don’t make life harder than it already is.

First, various flags that control what messages are matched. These can be combined to come up with a very particular search.

Use -f to search the queue for messages from a specific sender:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -f [luser]@domain

Use -r to search the queue for messages for a specific recipient/domain:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -r [luser]@domain

Use -o to print messages older than the specified number of seconds. For example, messages older than 1 day:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -o 86400 [...]

Use -y to print messages that are younger than the specified number of seconds. For example, messages less than an hour old:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -y 3600 [...]

Use -s to match the size of a message with a regex. For example, 700-799 bytes:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -s '^7..$' [...]

Use -z to match only frozen messages, or -x to match only unfrozen messages.

There are also a few flags that control the display of the output.

Use -i to print just the message-id as a result of one of the above two searches:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -i [ -r | -f ] ...

Use -c to print a count of messages matching one of the above searches:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -c ...

Print just the message-id of the entire queue:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -i

MANAGING THE QUEUE


The main exim binary (/usr/sbin/exim) is used with various flags to make things happen to messages in the queue. Most of these require one or more message-IDs to be specified in the command line, which is where `exiqgrep -i` as described above really comes in handy.

Start a queue run:
root@localhost# exim -q -v

Start a queue run for just local deliveries:
root@localhost# exim -ql -v

Remove a message from the queue:
root@localhost# exim -Mrm <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Freeze a message:
root@localhost# exim -Mf <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Thaw a message:
root@localhost# exim -Mt <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Deliver a message, whether it’s frozen or not, whether the retry time has been reached or not:
root@localhost# exim -M <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Deliver a message, but only if the retry time has been reached:
root@localhost# exim -Mc <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Force a message to fail and bounce as “cancelled by administrator”:
root@localhost# exim -Mg <message-id> [ <message-id> ... ]

Remove all frozen messages:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -z -i | xargs exim -Mrm

Remove all messages older than five days (86400 * 5 = 432000 seconds):
root@localhost# exiqgrep -o 432000 -i | xargs exim -Mrm

Freeze all queued mail from a given sender:
root@localhost# exiqgrep -i -f luser@example.tld | xargs exim -Mf

View a message’s headers:
root@localhost# exim -Mvh <message-id>

View a message’s body:
root@localhost# exim -Mvb <message-id>

View a message’s logs:
root@localhost# exim -Mvl <message-id>

Add a recipient to a message:
root@localhost# exim -Mar <message-id> <address> [ <address> ... ]

Edit the sender of a message:
root@localhost# exim -Mes <message-id> <address>

Php --SourceGuardian

PHP script /home/adzworkc/ClixScript_PHP_DOCS/classes/class.vars.php is protected by SourceGuardian and requires the SourceGuardian loader ixed.5.3.lin. The SourceGuardian loader has not been installed, or is not installed correctly. Please find the required loader within SourceGuardian installation directory or visit the SourceGuardian php encoder site to download it.

root@server [~]# /scripts/phpextensionmgr list
Available Extensions:
EAccelerator
IonCubeLoader
Zendopt
Xcache
SourceGuardian
PHPSuHosin

root@server [~]# /scripts/phpextensionmgr install SourceGuardian

===

If the issue still persist
check the php.ini

root@server [/home]# php -i | grep ini

We can see

===

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => (none)
additional .ini files parsed => (none)

===

Now open

root@server [/home]# vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini

and check the extention file

===
root@server [/home]# cd /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613

root@server [/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613]# ll

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 20:51 ./
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Dec 29 12:05 ../
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 79448 Jan 21 20:50 ixed.5.2.lin

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 275820 Jan 4 19:03 pdo_mysql.a*

===

Now we can see that the version is ixed.5.2.lin but we need  ixed.5.3.lin.

So downlaod file from

http://www.sourceguardian.com/loaders.html

and upload it to this folder
root@server [/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613]#

Then open

vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini
shift +g
we can sse that

===

extension=”ixed.5.2.lin”
zend_extension=”/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.9/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so”

===

Change the version here manually.

Modifying your PHP Handler Configuration

What’s my current configuration?
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current
Available handlers: suphp dso cgi none
DEFAULT PHP: 5
PHP4 SAPI: none
PHP5 SAPI: suphp
SUEXEC: enabled


 

Let’s say I wanted to switch to DSO, keeping PHP4 disabled, and SuExec enabled:
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf 5 none fcgi 1

For reference, the usage details:
Usage: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf [--dryrun] [--no-restart] [--no-htaccess] [--current|--available]
--dryrun : Only display the changes that would be made
--no-restart : Don't restart Apache after updating the php.conf link
--no-htaccess : Don't update user configurable PHP mime mapping.
--current : Show current settings
--available : Show available handlers and PHP SAPIs
: Version of PHP to set as default handler for .php files
<php# handler="">: Type of Apache module to use in serving PHP requests
: enabled, disabled, 1 or 0

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxxxxx bytes exhausted If deactivating plugins doesn’t work try one of these methods for increasing the amount of memory a PHP script may consume

1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

2. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

How to clear eximstats db

If the size of your eximstats database is getting large, you can do the following steps to clear it.

Login to mysql

mysql

mysql> use eximstats
mysql> delete from sends;
mysql> delete from smtp;
mysql> delete from failures;
mysql> delete from defers;

Load due to a particular domain in the server

Whenever the load in the server increases due to a particular user in the server. Check the following:

Find the domain owned by the user:

grep username /etc/userdomains

use the following command after you get the domain name:

less /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com | awk ‘{print $1}’ | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

This will give the ip and number of connections in the descending order. For example:
 13832 65.52.110.145
19112 66.249.68.183
208262 157.55.16.55

In the above case we can see too many connections from those ips. This is surely abnormal. Immediately block such ips in the server using csf

csf -d IP

[if not present use iptables].

SAMPLE PHP SCRIPT FOR SENDING MAILS

<?php

$Subject=”Trying to send”;
$Sender=”testing@betsexperts.com”;
$SendTo=”testmail4us@gmail.com”;
$Message2=”Testing mail”;

if(mail($SendTo, $Subject, $Message2, “From: $Sender”)){
print”<br><br><FONT style=\”font-size:12px\” color=\”#009300\” face=\”Arial\”><B>Sent to: $SendTo  … Sender: $Sender</B></FONT>”;
}else{
print”<br><br><FONT style=\”font-size:12px\” color=\”#FF0000\” face=\”Arial\”><B>Not sent to: $SendTo  … Sender: $Sender</B></FONT>”;
}

?>

Tips to remember:

Step 1:
Create a test.php inside public_html folder
For example —>  /home/public_html/test.php
Step2:
Copy the above script and paste inside test.php  (remember to change the ownership of test.php)
Step3:
run the url 
For example—> if you are creating test.php in your website http://example.com
Run the url as http://example.com/test.php
The mail will automatically send as php

How to redirect a WWW?

Step1:

website appear’s to be loading slow?

Speed it up using gzip compress and mod_deflate. Add the following code in the .htaccess file under website folder, save it . Site should be loading pages significantly faster now!

### Enable gzip compression for PHP files
php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler

### compress text, html, javascript, css, xml:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

### End of compression code

Increase upload size in your php.ini

Add the below to the relevant php.ini file (recommended, if you have access). Note that for some hosts this is a system-wide setting. However, for hosts running PHP as a CGI script with suexec (for example) you may be able to put these directives in a php.ini file in your Drupal root directory

.upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M

Add the below to your .htaccess file in your  root directory.

===================

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

php_value post_max_size 10M

Libraries have been installed in:
/var/tmp/pear-build-root/mailparse-2.1.5/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
