Here is how, first remove the /var/tmp folder

rm -rf /var/tmp

Then add the symlink:

ln -s /tmp /var/tmp

First move the domlogs folder to the backup partition:

mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs /backup

Then create a symbolic link to it:

ln -s /backup/domlogs /usr/local/apache/domlogs

The default MYSQL port is:

3306

PHP CLI is installed by default by CPanel and placed in:

/usr/local/bin

or

/usr/bin

I was tracking down the location for each users SSL on a CPanel based server and wanted to post the locations here since they are a little off the beaten track. This is good to have around for when you want to clean out old certs and keys that are just jumbling your SSL trackers.

Here is the ssl key and certificate locations on a cpanel based server:

/usr/share/ssl/private
/usr/share/ssl/certs

If you still need to buy a SSL cert please consider the non-profit SSLCA

This command will show who is logged into your system.

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

Keep in mind most new Routers and Switches have auto sensing and do not need a crossover cable. In fact cross over cables will soon be outdated.

[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.
