Compile Apache
Download from - http://mirrors.homepagle.com/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz
Untar the file httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz
cd into httpd*
Type the following to prepare for building.
./configure –prefix=[path] –enable-module=so
make
make install
Check if you have mod_so enabled:
cd to the Apache bin directory
Open httpd.conf and find a line starting with ServerAdmin.
ServerAdmin admin@serverbuddies.com
Find a line starting with ServerName.
ServerName server1.serverbuddies.com:80
Save the file.
cd up a directory (type cd ..)
Start Apache
Fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve UUID
If you are getting the FSCK error fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve ‘UUID=”0415c1ac-8f7a-49e3-9638-bbab4ceefe9b”‘ on system booting, then you can try following steps to resolve that.
1. Use following command to get the UUID of current partitions.
blkid
2. Open the /etc/fstab file and check the UUID in the fstab and the result of blkid are same.
$ sudo blkid |grep /dev/sda
/dev/sda1: TYPE=”swap” UUID=”0415c1ac-8f7a-49e3-9638-bbab4ceefe9b”
/dev/sda2: LABEL=”Dreamlinux” UUID=”5845b99a-14e0-4bd5-b17a-05a8085b16f3″ TYPE=”ext3″
3. Edit the /etc/fstab and change the UUID to that got from the blkid
That will solve the issue.
How to disable the the stats services(Analog or Awstats or Webalizer stats)
You can disable Analog or Awstats or Webalizer stats in a cpanel server via backend by editing the file “/var/cpanel/cpanel.config”.
Check for the variables skipanalog, skipawstats, skipwebalizer in the file and change the values of the variables to one. Now the variables should look like as follows:
skipanalog=1
skipawstats=1
skipwebalizer=1
Save the changes and restart the cpanel service in the server.
/etc/init.d/cpanel restart
Now the all the three stats will be disabled server wide.
Find text in a large number of files
If you need to find a string in a file, you would typically use:
grep -H “string” file-name.ext
However, grep doesn’t handle a large number of files well. If you specify grep “string” * or even grep “string” `find ./`you may find yourself facing this error:
bash: /bin/grep: Argument list too long
Simple bash script to do the searching.
In this sample, We will be looking for a string “welcome” in a directory named “./Document/”:
for i in `find ./Document/`; do grep -H “welcome” $i; done
This uses the find command to do the searching. It actually returns a list of filenames, which we can then grep one-by-one. The -H option tells grep to let us know the filename it found the string in so we can go right into that file to find the location of it.
Enable quotas in cpanel server
If quotas are not enabled for the partition, the following error will occur while doing a quotacheck in the server. In case of Cpanel server, /scripts/initquotas will throw the following error.
/scripts/initquotas
Quotas are now on
Updating Quota Files……
quotacheck: Can’t find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
quotacheck: Can’t find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
….Done
You need to follow the steps given below:
$ touch /quota.user /quota.group
$ chmod 600 /quota.*
$ mount -o remount /
$ quotaoff -a
$ vi /etc/fstab
( open ‘fstab’ file and add usrquota,grpquota to the partition where you want to have quota on. That is, for example, add the entry like:
/dev/ubd0 / ext3 defaults,noatime,usrquota,grpquota 1 0 )
$ quotaon -a
You should be able to run a quotacheck nor /scripts/initquotas in your cpanel server without any problem.
