Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Cpanel / Exim email attachment fix
Sunday, February 14th, 2010In future Cpanel updates, /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter may get overwritten if you edit it.
Solution:
- cp /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom
- Then edit /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom and remove the eml| from the four non-commented lines that reference it. You can also do this for URL, and LNK
- Then log into WHM, click on Exim Configuration Editor, and change the system filter at the bottom from /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter to /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom
- Save the changes
Now Cpanel will use /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom, which if properly edited to remove the ‘eml|’ references in the particular lines will allow EML attachments to go through in the future
CPanel Log file locations.
Friday, February 12th, 2010I often have to look over CPanel log files, and sometimes it just slips my mine on where they are located and what is contained in each one of them. Thought I would put together a listing of the files/locations and what is contained in them. Hope others find this useful.
CPanel stores it’s log files in the /usr/local/cpanel/logs directory. Below is a list of the common log files that are located in a cPanel server along with a short description.
access_log — cPanel access log for both cPanel and WHM
error_log — cPanel error log
license_log — cPanel license log
login_log — cPanel user login log
melange.log — cPanel chat server log
melange_msg.log — cPanel chat server message log
stats_log — cPanel web stats log
Also cPanel keeps other system logs in the /var/log/ directory.
bandwidth — cPanel total bandwidth logs for the entire server
chkservd.log — chkservd service log
clamav — clamav log directory
cpupdate.log — cPanel update log
exim_mainlog — Exim email transaction log
exim_paniclog — Exim error log
exim_rejectlog — Exim rejected email log
maillog — Transaction and login log for all mail services
pgsql — PostgreSQL log file
cPanel keeps the domain weblogs in the /usr/local/cpanel/domlogs directory for each domain name that is hosted on the server. This includes FTP transfer logs for each account.
Cut back WordPress CPU Load on your server
Sunday, October 25th, 2009Dealing with WordPress on almost a daily basis there seems to be a lot of issues revolving around the CPU load caused by WordPress. Working on the system administration side of things as well as having a love for WordPress I decided to post up some things that I have seen help with lowering the load of a WordPress install. I know there are a dozen or more of these exact articles out there already, but I figured I might as well post this in hopes that I can help where others have not been able to.

Really
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009I need to take some time and update this site. I have been sporting this theme for too long already. I was speaking with a friend of mine who was also suggesting I try to get back int omy daily postings. I agree with the statement, but alas with Twitter has made me lasy. Why write a huge page long post when I can blurt out whatever I want in 140 Charators or less. Ohh well perhaps I will overcome this writers block and start to update here more often as I once did.
