How to Disable DrWeb notification e-mails on Plesk

To Disable DrWeb notification e-mails

“%plesk_dir%\mysql\bin\mysql” -uadmin -padmin_password -P8306 psa

First, make sure that record responsible for antivirus notification exists in table psa.misc. You can check it using this query:

select val from misc where param = ‘AntivirusNotifyAdmin’;

This query should return a value: 0 or 1.

0 - notifications are disabled; 1 - notifications are enabled;

To switch this value you can use these queries:

update misc set val=’0’ where param = ‘AntivirusNotifyAdmin’; - to disable notifications update misc set val=’1’ where param = ‘AntivirusNotifyAdmin’; - to enable notifications

If there was no result returned you need to insert this record into table misc using this query:

insert into misc values (’AntivirusNotifyAdmin’,’0’);

Then you will be able to control notifications sending.

Notice: ‘AntivirusNotifyAdmin’ parameter that controls notifications for Plesk administrator. If it’s necessary to disable/enable notifications for clients you can use the following parameters instead of ‘AntivirusNotifyAdmin’:

‘AntivirusNotifySender’ - for e-mail sender ‘AntivirusNotifyRecipients’ - for e-mail recipient

Parse error when viewing web site created by Site Studio

If you receive a parse error when viewing your site in a web browser, this is because your web site coded incorrectly.

Parse errors are displayed when the web server can not read and display your web site code. The common cause of this is that you have copied and pasted code from another program into Site Studio, such as Microsoft Office that is not properly formatted. For example: Microsoft Office does not produce HTML code to industry standards and includes lots of non-standard code.

The solution is to remove the custom code you have inserted into Site Studio and insert plain text only. Once you have made the changes, republish the web site and your site should display correctly.

How to set up additional FTP user and give them limited access to a directory to upload in plesk

You can do this using the following steps :

login to plesk

Click on domain name--click on webusers and add a webuser.

Add this webuser by the name of directory to which you need the webuser to upload since when you add webuser a directory gets created by its name and user can upload to this directory with webuser name and password and only has access to that directory

WHM not working after upgrading to cpanel 11

We all know that lot of the things dont work in cpanel 11

Recently I upgraded cpanel to version11 and the problem started. I was not able to login to whm, all mails stop working etc.

I checked the server and found that perl version was 5.8.7

To upgrade cpanel 11 you need perl 5.8.8

1) Make sure you're running Perl 5.8.8:

a) check perl -v to make sure it says 5.8.8

b) if you see 5.8.7 or something else, follow these steps:

1) wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz
2) tar xfvz perl588installer.tar.gz
3) cd perl588installer
4) ./install
5) /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules

2) Upgrade YAML::Syck and File::Copy::Recurisve:
1) /scripts/realperlinstaller YAML::Syck
2) /scripts/realperlinstaller File::Copy::Recurisve

Issue was resolved :)

Create my own error pages?

To make your own error pages download templates that are initally placed in the root of /public_html/ directory.

400.shtml
401.shtml
403.shtml
404.shtml
500.shtml
509.shtml

These are the files that you will need to edit. Simply FTP these down to your home computer and then edit them with a HTML editor.

The varibles that you can insert can be found in those above documents and also in the control panel. If you look in the custom error page part then you can view the codes.

Once edited, place them in the /cpanel3-skel/public_html/ directory. You can also include a holding page (call it index.html) like the one we use.
When you then create an account with Web host manager it will automatically put these files into the newly created accounts directory.

VPS Functions

To create and start a VPs, run the following commands:

Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl create VEID --ostemplate osname
[server-node]# vzctl set VEID --ipadd b.c.d.e --save
[server-node]# vzctl start VEID

Here VEID is the numeric ID for the VPS; osname is the name of the OS template for the VPS, and b.c.d.e is the IP address to be assigned to the VE.

For example:
Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl create 102 --ostemplate centos-4-minimal
[server-node]# vzctl set 102 --ipadd b.c.d.e --save
[server-node]# vzctl start 102

Your new VPs should be up and running now. You can see its processes:
Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl exec VEID ps ax

To enter VPS give the following command:
Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl enter VEID
entered into VPS VEID
[ve]#

To exit from VPS, just type exit and press enter:
Quote:
[ve]# exit
exited from VPS VEID

[server-node]#

To stop VPs:

Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl stop VEID
Stopping VPS ...
VPS was stopped
VPS is unmounted

To destroy VPs:
Quote:
[server-node]# vzctl destroy VEID
Destroying VPS private area: /vz/private/VEID
VPS private area was destroyed
