Here is the error when I try to do a single account cpanel server to server transfer:

I’m still not 100% sure what caused this but I chose to not use compression for the transfer and disabled CSF on both servers and it went fine.

My guess is the firewall on the remote server but I will have to wait for the next transfer to check which one causes this.

To see every process type:

ps -A

To see every process except what’s running from root type:

ps -U root -u root -N

iptables can block many different things and often it will block good servers inside of a network. The best to see if it’s a iptables issue. Try to clean them out with this if you have CSF on the server:

csf -f

If you still have a issue try to stop iptables like this:

service iptables stop

[Q] What’s the difference between CAT 5e patch cable and CAT 5e crossover cable?

[A] The difference has to do with the wiring of the cable and the situation in which you will use the cable.

On a CAT 5e patch cable, the wiring configuration is identical on both ends of the cable.

On a CAT 5e crossover cable, the wiring of pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 are “crossed-over” to pins 3, 6, 1, and 2.

CAT 5e crossover cables are used in situations where two devices have the same interface, for example, connecting a hub to a hub, or a switch to a switch, or even when patching a hub or switch into a wallplate.

The most common use is to connect two PCs directly to each other, without the use of any kind of router, hub, or switch. This is called a peer-to-peer network, and is a low-cost solution to allow file and Internet sharing between two computers.

Simple when logged in with the user type:

passwd

Then enter the new password twice to save it.

To change the root password on a Linux server you have to be logged in as root.

Simply run /scripts/upcp –force

It’s a common bug that happens when a cPanel WHM update has an error.

1. Restart the httpd service. This might free a little space some times.

2. Check for apache logs like error_log, access_log , suexec_log in /usr/local/apache/logs . These can either be cleared off or if you need the logs then you can take a zipped copy and keep it aside.

3. Same can be done for the files in cPanel logs (/usr/local/cpanel/logs) as well .

4. Domlogs – Get into the /usr/local/apache/domlogs/ directory. Run the following command :-

# ls -al -SR | head -10 —> It will list 10 files in the decreasing order according to their size

If the domlog file is too large for a domain then it is possible that awstats is not running . Check whether cpanellogd is running on the server using pstree . If not, restart it .
Else, it is possible that awstats for only that particular domain is not updating. Get into the directory /usr/local/cpanel/base and check if any file as ‘awstats.domainname.com.conf’ exists. If yes , delete that file.

Now, run /scripts/runweblogs for that user. It will update the awstats and automatically clear the domlogs file thereafter. Do not delete the domlogs file itself.

5. Remove old and unwanted backups of ‘apache’ that might have been taken long ago. Also, check for any other duplicate folders that can be removed safely.

6. Remove core files, if any . Normally, some core files (like core.1234) might be present in /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot . Check for these and remove them.

7. Restart your server, the quota might be off for that partition and reboot will correct it. Keep in mind if there is a harddrive error this can leave the server offline while the system or admin tuns a FSDK.

The best way is:

shutdown -r now

This will tell the server to take it’s time so to speak and reboot when it’s ready.

For a hard reboot simply put:

reboot

In most cases a hard reboot is fine unless you have file errors and the servers needs to clean them up before a reboot.

Both of these restart cpanel and Web Host Manager WHM services the exact same way

service cpanel restart
