No power = No fun

February 22nd, 2010 by Shelby Tags: , ,

So my roommate just moved out on Friday, when he did he canceled all the utilities since they were in his name, downfall of this is that they shut most of them off today while I was at work.  Thankfully I got the internet back on in the nick of time, bad part is the power reconnect didn’t go so smoothly and well I am with out power until NV Energy makes it to my place to turn it on.  They told me it will be back on tomorrow …. between 7am and 7pm, nice huge window you lazy bastards.

Cpanel / Exim email attachment fix

February 14th, 2010 by Shelby Tags: ,

In future Cpanel updates, /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter may get overwritten if you edit it.
Solution:

  1. cp /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_custom
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.

February 12th, 2010 by Shelby Tags: ,

I 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.
