While resetting the cpanel account password from WHM

I saw above error after resetting the passwor.

I see the issue was due to the parameter

skip-name-resolve

in mysql config /etc/my.cnf

Removing the command and restarting the mysql fixed the issue

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
1006 2020-05-20 11:40:19 chmod 0750 /var/spool/exim
1007 2020-05-20 11:40:25 /scripts/upcp –force

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 on Centos webpanel was not starting on server

On checking logs only below information were displayed

named.service – Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)

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

named-checkconf -z /etc/named.conf

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

After changing SSH port, If I try to SSH using new port number

I was getting error “no route to host”

The issue was due to IPtables

I have to flush all firewall rules using

IPtables -f

serveice iptables restart

This fixed the ssh port issue

We had this issue while dumping one database

We added below parameter in /etc/my.cnf

innodb_strict_mode = 0

And restarted Mysql

Now mysql dump worked fine

KVM based VPS was giving belolw error

“error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer”

The fix was to disable VNC in VPS settings and start vps

which worked fine with me
