How To Reinstall Horde
May 21st, 2010 by tech No comments »500: [warn] Directory / is not owned by username
May 21st, 2010 by tech No comments »If your site is getting a 500 error, you’ll want to check Apache’s error_log at /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log.
If you see the following error, you’ll want to check the ownership of “/” to ensure it’s owned by root:root, and not a user on your server.
[Mon May 03 22:26:47 2010] [warn] Directory / is not owned by rrsdd
Let’s check the ownership:
# stat /
File: `/'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 1bh/27d Inode: 99717474 Links: 26
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 535/ cpus123) Gid: ( 0/ cpus123)
This shows that the / folder is owned by “cpus123″ which is incorrect, and you’ll want to change the ownership to root:root.
#chown root:root /
Now let’s verify:
# stat /
File: `/'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 17h/23d Inode: 917505 Links: 25
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
info [rebuildhttpdconf] User ‘username’ data set has no ‘main_domain’ key.
May 21st, 2010 by tech No comments »Error: info [rebuildhttpdconf] User ‘username’ data set has no ‘main_domain’ key.
Solution: Check to see if there is a file called “main” for the user(s) affected users in /var/cpanel/userdata/username.
If it’s not present, verify the domain exists in httpd.conf, and run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/userdata_update to recreate the “main” file based off the apache configuration.
Automatically Create DomainKeys Records When Creating Account
May 21st, 2010 by tech No comments »Hopefully this will someday be an option in “Tweak Settings”, but in the meantime, you can add DomainKeys records to your customers DNS zones automatically by creating a “hook” which will be run after /scripts/wwwacct (the script behind “Create an Account” in WHM).
You’ll want to create a file called /scripts/postwwwacct, and add the following content:
my %OPTS = @ARGV;
my $user = $OPTS{’user’};
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer $user
You’re all set now — there’s nothing else that needs to be done. Note that this only creates the DomainKeys records for new accounts. If you want to create DomainKeys records for all your existing users at once, check out my other article on the topic: http://www.cpaneladmins.com/2009/12/07/install-domainkeys-and-spf-records-for-all-users/
Apache error: RewriteCond> directive missing closing ‘>’

httpd: Syntax error on line 13 of
/home/girit/public_html/.htaccess.igvjRiTOB3TiKlh0Pf8wcDk4yuRcH5ba:
RewriteCond> directive missing closing '>'
Solution: edit the .htaccess file in vi (or your favorite text editor) and ensure there is a blank line (new line) at the bottom of the file.
The update server is currently updating its files.
May 10th, 2010 by tech No comments »When running “upcp”, you may see the following:
"The update server is currently updating its files."
"It may take up to 30 minutes before access can be obtained."
"Waiting 510 seconds for access to the update server....."
This means that the developers are pushing a new build of cPanel to the update servers. The upcp script will continue to run, and will retry the update periodically until the build is uploaded and available for download.

Fix: MySQL quotas showing 0.00MB
May 6th, 2010 by tech 2 comments »If your MySQL databases are all showing 0.00MB usage, you need to enable disk_usage_include_sqldbs.
1. Fix this issue via WHM
In Tweak Settings, enable “Calculate the disk usage of account MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.”
The default setting is “disabled”, or unchecked.
1b. Fix this issue via SSH
Or you can enable MySQL database calculation via SSH by editing /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
You’ll want to search for
disk_usage_include_sqldbs=0
and change it to
disk_usage_include_sqldbs=1
If the parameter is not present, you’ll want to add it.
2. Run the update script to perform the initial calculations:
Finally, to calculate your MySQL and PostgreSQL database sizes, run the following:
# /scripts/update_db_cache
Reverse DNS on cPanel
May 3rd, 2010 by tech 1 comment »97%* of providers don’t allow their customers complete control of reverse DNS. If you’re part of that 3%*, check out this wiki article as a resource.
* Statistics made up, but accurate from what I’ve seen.
info [rebuildhttpdconf] User ‘username’ data set has no ‘main_domain’ key.
May 3rd, 2010 by tech No comments »Error:
info [rebuildhttpdconf] User 'noothna' data set has no 'main_domain' key.
Check /var/cpanel/userdata/username/main and main.cache to verify it has the necessary content. Check another domain’s main and main.cache accounts to verify what you should be seeing there.
