cPanel Hosting Stuff

Hi,

Manually installation:

1. Download the latest Apache source distribution from www.apache.org

2. Unpack the source distribution.
The source distribution comes as a compressed archive. Let’s say that we are
installing Apache 1.3.12 (apache_1.3.12.tar.gz). Uncompress and untar the
archive with the following command:

$ tar -zxvf apache_1.3.12.tar.gz

This will create a directory named apache_1.3.12 in your current working
directory. We’ll call this the Apache source directory.

3. RTFM. RTFM. RTFM. Please read the README file in the Apache source
directory.

4. Configuring your environment to compile Apache.

The source distribution comes with a script called configure, which checks
your environment for the necessary support files (like headers, shared
libraries and utility programs) that are required to successfully compile
Apache. To configure, change directory to the Apache source directory and type

$ ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache

The prefix argument indicates where we wish to install Apache. This command
will output several lines on the screen. Essentially this command creates the
Makefiles for the build according to your system configuration. If there are
errors in configure, you may be missing some header files or utility programs
which you must install before proceeding.

5. Compile Apache.
Once configure runs successfully you can compile Apache using the make command

$ make

This will output several lines on the screen indicating that it is compiling
and linking Apache. This should normally conclude with no errors, however if
any errors occur, they will usually be caused due to missing utility programs
or libraries. The Apache FAQ has some pointers if you get stuck
(http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html)

6. Install Apache
Apache installs itself in /usr/local/apache by issuing the command

$ make install

If this concludes successfully your system now has Apache installed. You
should see Apache’s installation files in /usr/local/apache and the main
configuration file in /usr/local/apache/conf called httpd.conf

7. Configure Apache
Apache is configured through a single file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.
This file consists of a number of Apache Directives, which determine the
various operating parameters of the Apache server. For purposes of a simple
installation, you will need to modify only a few directives described below

DocumentRoot - This is the location of the directory from which HTML files are
served. You can replace the default by any directory. The directive,

DocumentRoot “/usr/local/apache/htdocs”

instructs Apache to serve files from /usr/local/apache/htdocs. In other words,
when you try and access http://servername/somepage.html in a browser, Apache
will serve the file /usr/local/apache/htdocs/somepage.html.

Directory options - Once the DocumentRoot is defined, you must instruct Apache
how to serve and handle various files found in that directory. This is
achieved by modifying the Directory directive. The Directory directive has
various options such as execution of server side includes, whether to follow
symbolic links from the directory, access control to the directory etc. In our
configuration file, we need not change anything.

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

That’s about it. Apache is now configured for default behavior and web
serving. If there are any other parameters that you need to set, the
configuration file is well commented and pretty much self-explanatory.

8. Starting Apache
Apache comes with a script named apachectl that facilitates starting,
stopping, restarting apache.

$ /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd started

To stop apache use /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

9. Test your installation
Once Apache is running, fire up your web browser and access http://localhost/.
If your installation was successful and Apache is running, you should see a
test page saying something like “If you can see this, it means that the
installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful”.

CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a successful installation of Apache running on your system!

About: cPanel And Plesk

CPANEL

cPanel and Plesk are the two popular control panels that are provided by most of the web hosting services to aid the users create and modify their websites easily. cPanel is available only with Linux operating system, whereas, Plesk is available with the Linux as well as with the Windows operating system. However, the latest version of cPanel that will be released in the year 2008 will be compatible with both the operating systems.

When buying a hosting account, you must make several decisions. One of the important decisions is to consider about which control panel to choose that will be the easiest and also will have better in-built web utilities. There are many web control panels available, but the most popular are the cPanel or Plesk. Below is the comparison of cPanel and Plesk which should help you decide which of the two will suit your web needs.

The cPanel and Plesk both offer similar basic features. Using either, you can easily create, or edit, or delete e-mail accounts, thereby manage all your email accounts, as well as also perform all domains or sub-domains maintenance from either of the control panels. You can also upload all your files and manage them from your cPanel or Plesk account. There are other add-ons available with both and for most of the webmasters, these capabilities are sufficient to produce and manage good websites.
cPanel

cPanel (Control Panel) is a very popular graphical web-hosting control panel used to simplify the administration of websites. The cPanel is provided by the cPanel Inc. It is a proprietary product. cPanel is chiefly used by the commercial hosting services and being a proprietary product, it requires monthly license fees.

cPanel is a very popular control panel and is used by most of the web designers and web masters now-a-days. It was mainly designed for Speed Hosting. cPanel is based on Perl scripts and requires no access to the database most of the time. It is an excellent graphical user interface (GUI) which helps in developing and designing the website attractively and giving it a professional look.

cPanel has many features like the FTP, e-mail management, domain and sub-domain control, back-up facility, database management, etc. cPanel even takes extremely less time than most other to load. Web developers can have their own applications and add-ons like ‘Fantastico’ and ‘RVSkins’ installed using cPanel.

cPanel even has a statistics sidebar, which gives you every detail of your website, for example, the domain name, e-mail accounts, disk space usage, SQL database, monthly bandwidth used, sub-domains, parked domains, and many more exciting applications are provided by the cPanel.

cPanel even provides Web Host Manager (WHM), which is specifically used for simplifying the reseller web hosting. By using this feature, you can easily set up a reselling account and resell web hosting service.

Migration of your website and the web hosting account to another web hosting service is easily possible through the site migration module as the cPanel. This makes it very easy to transfer your entire site or some important data from one site to another.

PLESK

Plesk is the most preferred website control panel now-a-days, as it is more reliable compared to any other website control panel. The fact that, it is compatible with the world-renowned Windows operating system makes it more special. Plesk has different versions for Windows and the Linux operating systems. You can even use the same control panel for different operating systems. Plesk is also very easy to learn. This makes it very easy for the users to learn this control panel and, in turn, saves a lot of time and money.

However, the main disadvantage of Plesk is that the web developers and the web designers cannot create their own applications and add-ons in Plesk. Also, there is some security problem noted with Plesk. Hackers can easily gain access into this control panel even if the user name and password are changed often.

So, if you want the control panel which is compatible with Widows as well as Linux operating systems, then you can choose Plesk. However, if you want the easiest control panel which allows you to install many attractive programs, then you need to choose the cPanel.

More notes on the cPanel and Plesk that will help you decide further:

The cPanel and Plesk both have a great graphical user interface (GUI) to begin your work from. It is said that the cPanel has the better GUI and is user-friendly as well. The Plesk graphical user interface (GUI) can appear a bit difficult to a first-time user. cPanel must have been designed specifically for the novice users than the Plesk design, hence the cPanel is preferred by the novice and also by the professionals.

cPanel is being provided by almost all the major web hosting services and includes the Fantastico Deluxe installer that again includes many wonderful web utilities and powerful scripts. Using the Fantastico, you can easily install forum blogs, content management systems (CMS), e-mail accounts, community boards or forums, even install the e-Commerce shopping cart solutions, and other web tools to make your website very professional easily. There is absolutely no need to know web programming, coding, or advanced database knowledge. You can install all these utilities and scripts and have them running within minutes.

Plesk also provides an application pack. Plesk also can use major third-party web utilities, but the cPanel and Fantastico seems to be in more demand.

To credit Plesk, by the way, it can support both the UNIX and Windows based web servers while cPanel can only be used on UNIX-based web servers. As the UNIX based servers are not expensive to utilize, most of the webmaster will prefer the cPanel as it costs less to host their websites.

Please follow below steps to create accounts for your clients in WHM.

1) Login to WHM

2) Create package by cliking on “Create new package” link in packages category.

While creating packages do not put “UNLIMITED” in any feature field box as WHM treats “UNLIMITED”= 1. You may face some problems in future if you put “UNLIMITED”. Hence Always assign some reasonable number say 999 or 9999 for UNLIMITED.

3) Then click on “Create New Account” in Account Functions Category. Enter domain name , user name and password. Then select package you want to assosiate with particular account and hit “Create” button.

Please wait until you see message “Account creation completed”

That’s it.. you are now ready to use newly created account.

Note: You need to update newley created domain DNS to your reseller account servers. It means your reseller domain and all your clients domains points to same name server.

After DNS propagation you can access newly created domain cPanel just like your domain. http://www.domain.com/cpanel or https://www.domain.com:2083

Cpanel Basics

There is an error in Cpanel hosting server that cause Add-on domain is not working properly.

Here is a various symptoms:
* When user adding add-on domain and delete it and then re-adding it again, it will show error
* Or if the domain to be added was a single user account on the same server (even after being terminated) it cant be added
* Add-on just disappear after CPANEL update

The fastest solution is :
Login into your Cpanel server with root access.

We will have an example domain name : testing.com that have a problem with add-on domain.

Look at this files or directory and cleanup or fix :
* File /var/cpanel/users (find : testing.com user and delete it)
* Directory /etc/valiases (find : testing.com and delete it)
* Directory /etc/vdomainaliases (find : testing.com and delete it)
* Directory /etc/vfilters (find :testing.com and delete it)
* File /etc/named.conf ( find : testing.com and delete it)
* Directory /var/named (find : testing.com.db and delete it)
* File /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (find : testing.com and delete it)

After we’ve clean up, we need to make sure restarted the HTTP and BIND services.

Restarting Services

$/sbin/service named restart
$/sbin/service httpd restart

Login into your Cpanel

Click on Addon Domains
Create a new Addon Domain There.

This should fixed the Cpanel Addon domain problem
