Here I am specifying the steps which I used to configure remote backups through NFS.

Task - Configure backup for virtuzzo on backup server.

First, you have to make the appropriate directories available to nfs by "exporting" them. On the remote server, edit the /etc/exports file to expose the directories you need to the hosts that need to access them. See the man page for exports to find out all your options, but here's a simple example from my setup:

Code:

# /etc/exports

/backup         192.168.1.0(rw,no_root_squash,async)

/backup2        192.168.1.1(rw,no_root_squash,async)

The /etc/exports file must contain a directory, (in this example the directory being exported is /home), as well as the networks (or hosts) the file system is exported to.

In this case it's exported a range of hosts in the network 192.168.1.0. Alternately, it could be exported to a single host using the configuration:

Then go to virtozzo and mount the destination as given below:

[root@server1]# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.0:/backup2 /vz/backups

To check if it is mounted or not you can use showmount -e or mount command

Then write /etc/fstab as given below:

198.168.0.1:/backup2 /vz/backup nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0

Then restart nfs and portmap on Virtuzzo server

[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/portmap restart
[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/nfs restart

Then go to backup server and check if its mounted on this server as well, you can use to check it showmount -e or mount command

If everything is ok, fire the command to effect the changes of /etc/exports:

[root@backup01 backup2]# exportfs -r

and restart both services on this server as well:

[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/portmap restart
[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/nfs restart

That's it, I got it worked. If you have any problem please email me at mayur.c24@gmail.com

1. First check that ip is blocked or not
2. iptables –L –n | grep

DROP all -- 125.99.10.123 216.240.157.91

3. to unblock the ip give the command

iptables -D INPUT -s 125.99.10.123 -d 216.240.157.91 -j DROP

Now the ip is unblocked.

In order to solve this issue you should follow these steps:

1. Log in cPanel and click on File Manager;

2. Navigate to .fantasticodata in your Home Directory;

3. Delete the file installed_in_root.php.

This will ensure there is no Fantastico information remaining from previous installations.

cPHulk Brute Force Protection prevents malicious forces from trying to access your server’s services by guessing the login password for that service. BUT sometimes it becomes troublesome when you are accessing the cPanel with incorrect password and cPanel assuming you as attacker blocks you with below message :

—————————————————————————————
This account is currently locked out because a brute force attempt was detected. Please wait 10 minutes and try again. Attempting to login again will only increase this delay. If you frequently experience this problem, we recommend having your username changed to something less generic.
—————————————————————————————

To get out of such situation you can disable cphulkd protection :

login via ssh and disable cphulkd using the command below.

root@HOST [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcphulkd

This should allow you to login to WHM and double check your cphulk settings.

You can view IP addresses that have been blocked via the WHM interface: WHM -> Security -> Security Center -> cPHulk Brute Force Protection in the Brutes table. On that screen, you can also customize brute force protection settings.

Then log into your WHM >> Security Center >> cPHulk Brute Force Protection >> Flush DB

Make Sure to restart cphulkd protection from SSH, simply fire the following command

root@HOST [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startcphulkd

Well the other way to this is to remove the IP’s blocked by cPHulk from its database .

ssh to the server login as root and type the following at the prompt

[root@server:] mysql

mysql> use cphulkd;

mysql>BACKUP TABLE brutes TO ‘/path/to/backup/directory’;

mysql> SELECT * FROM brutes WHERE `IP`=’xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’;

mysql> DELETE FROM brutes WHERE `IP`=’xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’;

mysql>quit

PDFlib was removed awhile back for PHP5 because the newer versions have different licenses and we wanted to avoid any possible problems. The PHP4 version is still old so it's available in EasyApache, but of course I don't recommend PHP4 since it's not supported by the PHP developers anymore.

So if you want to install it, it will have to be outside of EasyApache. Here's how you could do it:

# wget http://www.pdflib.com/binaries/PDFlib/704/PDFlib-Lite-7.0.4p4.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf PDFlib-Lite-7.0.4p4.tar.gz
# cd PDFlib-Lite-7.0.4p4
# ./configure --without-java
# make && make install

Then build PHP with pdflib support.

# echo '--with-pdflib' >> '/var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5'
# /scripts/easyapache --build

Finally, make sure pdflib is enabled as an extension in php.ini; add:

extension=pdf.so

to /usr/local/lib/php.ini and restart apache. Then it will show up. I have already done this for you as a courtesy
