For some reason we were having problems with the datacenter and we were asked to remove the IP using KVM. In this case, we entered the KVM and checked the if the IP was listed on the server by using ifconfig – we found that the IP was listed there. To remove the IP edit the file.

root@server# nano /etc/ips

and now remove the line of the IP and then restart the ipaliases service by the command

root@server# service ipaliases restart

It will show failed, you can ignore those warnings. And you can recheck if the IP has gone by using the command ifconfig. You’ll see the IP is not seen in the ifconfig output. Now, you can ask the datacenter to get the server online and then if you check from the WHM you will see that the IP is not available there.

That’s it!

rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/fantastico/
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico*

Download the pacakge, their official site is www.pdflib.com

root@server# wget http://www.pdflib.com/binaries/PDFlib/703/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.3.tar.gz
root@server#  tar xvzf PDFlib-Lite-7.0.3.tar.gz
root@server#  cd PDFlib-Lite-7.0.3
root@server#  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --without-java
root@server#  make
root@server#  make install

Once this is done, we built PDFlib DSO by the below commands:

root@server#  cd ~/tmp
root@server#  pecl download pdflib
root@server#  tar xvzf pdflib-*.tgz
root@server#  cd pdflib-*
root@server#  phpize
root@server#  ./configure --with-pdflib=$HOME/usr
root@server#  make
root@server#  make test

Then, copied the PDFlib extensions to a seperate directory:

root@server#  cd ~
root@server#  mkdir extensions
root@server#  cp ~/tmp/pdflib-*/modules/pdf.so ~/extensions

Added the extensions in the php.ini using the below steps:

root@server#   php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Add the below line in php.ini

root@server#  nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

extension_dir = "/root/extensions"
extension = "pdf.so"

Save php.ini file
Create a test PHP file under your domain to check if it works, below is the test code:


<?php

try {
$p = new PDFlib();

/*  open new PDF file; insert a file name to create the PDF on disk */
if ($p->begin_document(“”, “”) == 0) {
die(“Error: ” . $p->get_errmsg());
}

$p->set_info(“Creator”, “hello.php”);
$p->set_info(“Author”, “Rainer Schaaf”);
$p->set_info(“Title”, “Hello world (PHP)!”);

$p->begin_page_ext(595, 842, “”);

$font = $p->load_font(“Helvetica-Bold”, “winansi”, “”);

$p->setfont($font, 24.0);
$p->set_text_pos(50, 700);
$p->show(“Hello world!”);
$p->continue_text(“(says PHP)”);
$p->end_page_ext(“”);

$p->end_document(“”);

$buf = $p->get_buffer();
$len = strlen($buf);

header(“Content-type: application/pdf”);
header(“Content-Length: $len”);
header(“Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hello.pdf”);
print $buf;
}
catch (PDFlibException $e) {
die(“PDFlib exception occurred in hello sample:\n” .
“[" . $e->get_errnum() . "] ” . $e->get_apiname() . “: ” .
$e->get_errmsg() . “\n”);
}
catch (Exception $e) {
die($e);
}
$p = 0;
?>

You need to get the below output in PDF format within your browser.

Hello world!
(Says PHP)

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP server.

Settings in Zen cart:

E-Mail Transport Method : smtpauth
E-Mail Linefeeds : LF
Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails : true
Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS : false
Send E-Mails : true
SMTP Server Host Address tls://smtp.gmail.com or smtp. gmail.com: smtp gmail.com
SMTP Server Port Number : 465
SMTP Authentication Required : true
SMTP Authentication Username your@domain.com or you@ gmail.com : someaccount@gmail.com
SMTP Authentication Password your password : my password

From the server the connection to gmail SMTP was perfect:

root@server [~]# telnet smtp.gmail.com 465

Trying 74.125.79.109...

Connected to smtp.gmail.com (74.125.79.109).

Escape character is '^]'.

So, the connection from server was perfect. But, from zen cart it was not connecting.

Solution:

OpenSSL was not available in PHP. So, we recompiled PHP with OpenSSL support and everything worked just great.

The session.save_path setting in your php configuration file (php.ini) is not set or is set to a folder which did not exist. You might need to set the save_path setting in php.ini or verify that the folder sets in save_path exist.

To get this fixed, we have done the following:

Find the php.ini file

php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration file (php.ini) => /etc/php.ini

When checked the session.save_path it was not set, it was then set to /tmp.

session.save_path  = "/tmp"

And, all worked fine.

Once cPanel is installed on your dedicated server, you must be thinking of migrating accounts from your old cpanel server to this new cpanel server. Isn’t it? For this you can check Hosting account migration manually on cpanel server – other than this the migration can also be done from cpanel to cpanel using copy accounts function.

==> /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log <==

[Sat Dec 20 01:12:27 2008]
[notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec)

[Sat Dec 20 01:12:27 2008]
[warn] pid file /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

[Sat Dec 20 01:12:27 2008]
[emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn't create accept lock

Solution:

First of all make sure your server is not out of space. This can be checked with the command:

root# df –h

Now, to check how many semaphores are currently in use the command is:

root# ipcs -s

When the apache (httpd) is stopped, to kill the semaphores ID the command is:

root# ipcrm –s <sem-id>

To kill all the semaphores ID , you can achieve this by doing it in a for loop, the command is:

root# for semid in `ipcs -s | grep nobody | cut -f2 -d" "`; do ipcrm -s $semid; done

Note: “nobody” is apache user.

Now start apache with the command:

root# service httpd restart

This has fixed the issue for us.
