fix corrupted named.conf in cPanel

We had an issue where in cPanel server where we had our rDNS settings

were no working. On editing and saving the file from WHM , Rdns worked

Found the issue was due to corrupted named.conf

Below are the steps undertaken to rebuild named.conf

mv /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.bak

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuilddnsconfig

/scripts/restartsrv_named

Now rdns and other records are working fine:)

Exim Error: Failed to create directory “/var/spool/exim/db”: Permission denied

We came across an issue where emails were not coming to server

on checking logs we saw below error

failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/ratelimit: Permission denied (euid=47 egid=12)

We executed below steps to fix the error


1003 2020-05-20 11:38:14 rm -fv /var/spool/exim/db/*
1004 2020-05-20 11:38:30 service exim restart
1005 2020-05-20 11:39:22 chown -R mailnull.mail /var/spool/exim

Change SSH port on Centos 7

Open file using command

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

#Port 22

remove the # symbol and change the default port 22 and change it accordingly to your preference

save the file and exit

semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 2244 where 1234 is my ssh port

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=1234/tcp

firewall-cmd --reload

systemctl restart sshd.service

Now telnet <server IP > port to make sure the ssh port is working before logging off from server

named.service failed. Centos Web Panel

To find errors you need to use below command and fix the displayed error to get DNS online

named-checkconf -z /etc/named.conf

Invalid command ‘SetEnv’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration,

While working on server

We saw one website giving 500 error

On checking I see error was coming on .htaccess rules

/docs/subdomains/my/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘SetEnv’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

To resolve this problem, we need to install the module ‘mod_env’ manually.

For easyapache4 users,

#yum install ea-apache24-mod_env.x86_64
