PLESK FOR WINDOWS MYSQL ACCESS.

PLESK FOR WINDOWS MYSQL ACCESS.

Plesk uses two Mysql servers. One for clients databases (port 3306) and second server for Plesk databases (8306). You can connect to Plesk DB using the following command:

%plesk_dir%\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -uadmin -pPlesk_admin_passwd -P8306

“C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\Databases\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe” -uadmin -pPlesk-admin_passwd -P8306

Plesk-admin_passwd = “C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin\plesksrvclient.exe” -get

However if you want to connect to Client’s Mysql Server you should use the following command:

%plesk_dir%\databases\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -uadmin -pPassword -P3306

Password you can find in the psa.misc or psa.databaseservers tables (Plesk DB).

If the Plesk DB provider is set to Access mdb or MSSQL then an appropriate tool will be needed to view the Plesk DB.

HOW TO CONFIGURE WHM / CPANEL WITH A VALID SSL CERTIFICATE

HOW TO CONFIGURE WHM / CPANEL WITH A VALID SSL CERTIFICATE

Improve your Server Security – Configure your Server to Force SSL redirection with a VALID certificate for WHM / CPANEL usage.

By default, WHM/CPANEL do not use a secure channel but instead offer an optional link to the user. Even if you don’t want to spend $20 for a GoDaddy Certificate, you can still configure the server to force the secure connection when a user attempts to login to WHM/CPANEL.

How to Setup WHM and CPANL so clients will be redirected to a valid SSL Certificate when logging in.

Instructions based on WHM v11.15.0

1) Purchase / Install the Certificate for your fully qualified domain (ie: server.domain.com)

– You can find your fully qualified server URL in the WHM under:
>> Server Status >> Server Information (System Information)

– Then you will create a certificate for this domain under:
>> SSL / TLS >> Generate a SSL Certificate and Signing Request

– After purchasing your certificate, you will install the certificate under:
** THIS MAY SEEM SLOW – BE PATIENT – WAIT FOR A BOLD CONFIRMATION MESSAGE **
>> SSL / TLS >> Install a SSL Certificate and Setup the Domain

– After installation is complete, you can assign the new certificate to be your SHARED certificate under:
** This is NOT required but is a great benefit for your clients and helps brand your domain **
>> SSL / TLS >> Manage SSL Hosts

2) Test your new Certificate

– https://server.domain.com/
This should resolve and the cert should function properly before moving forward. If this does not work, you will need to review addition instruction on SSL installation.

– https://server.domain.com:2087/
This should NOT WORK but give you an invalid certificate error. The reason is that the certificate is installed for the domain only, and has not been assigned to the appropriate WHM/CPANEL services.

3) Install the CERT for the WHM and CPANEL Service (this is the step you don’t think about!!)

Service Configuration >> Manage Service SSL Certificates
> Select “Install New Certificate” for the “cPanel/WHM/Webmail Service”
> Select Domain this CRT is for “Browse”
> Pick the full server cert you installed “server.domain.com”
> Press “Submit” to install

4) Test your Service Certificate

https://server.domain.com:2087/

should now be working !!

** Once your done, you may choose to install the same cert for your SMTP, POP, and FTP accounts so that the option is available and functioning properly

How to install tomcat 5 on cPanel server and upgarde to 7

Tomcat Installation on cPanel server.

To install Tomcat, select the Tomcat option in WHM’s EasyApache (Apache Update) or using
“/scripts/easyapache” (without the quotes) in command line. The Tomcat selection is found in
Step 5’s Apache Options area.

It will install Tomcat 5.5.35 on the server.
Steps to upgrade Tomcat to version 7.0.32 are given below.

1) The Tomcat 5 is installed in /usr/local/jakarta/ directory with the symbolic link tomcat. For
example:

[~]# ll /usr/local/jakarta
drwxr-xr-x 4 tomcat nobody 4096 Apr 5 17:15 ./
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Mar 5 15:39 ../
drwxr-xr-x 12 tomcat nobody 4096 Apr 4 17:02 apache-tomcat-5.5.35/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat nobody 39 Apr 4 17:04 tomcat -> /usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-5.5.35/

2) Then download and extract Tomcat 7 in /usr/local/jakarta directory
[~]# cd /usr/local/jakarta
[/usr/local/jakarta]# wget http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.32.tar.gz
[/usr/local/jakarta]# tar -xzvf apache-tomcat-7.0.32.tar.gz
[/usr/local/jakarta]# chown -R tomcat.nobody apache-tomcat-7.0.32/

3) Then Change the tomcat symbolic link to point to your new version (i.e.
/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32)
[/usr/local/jakarta]# rm -rf tomcat
[/usr/local/jakarta]# ln -s /usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32 tomcat
[/usr/local/jakarta]# chown -h tomcat.nobody tomcat

4) Then compile the new Tomcat version on cPanel server.
[~]# cd /usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32
[/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32]# cd ./bin
[/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin]# tar xvfz commons-daemon-native.tar.gz
[/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin]# cd commons-daemon-1.0.10-native-src/unix
[/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin/commons-daemon-1.0.10-native-src/unix]
[~]# ./configure
[~]# make
[~]# cp jsvc ../..
[~]# cd ../../..

5) Copy over any Host blocks from /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml from the old Tomcat install to the new Tomcat install (you may or may not be able to set up new hosts through WHM).

6) Copy over /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/workers.properties from the old Tomcat install to the new Tomcat install.

7) To use the web administration gui you have to add the gui role in
/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.

You may copy and paste the above code into the tomcat-users.xml file and change the “name”
and “pwd” fields accordingly.

[/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/conf]#ls -l
-rw——- 1 tomcat nobody 6818 Oct 11 02:04 server.xml
-rw——- 1 tomcat nobody 1734 Oct 9 13:10 tomcat-users.xml
-rw——- 1 tomcat nobody 5563 Oct 9 12:25 workers.properties

8) Restart the server
[/]# reboot
Or
[/]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
[/]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[/]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

9) Check Tomcat Version
[/]# sh /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/version.sh

The cPanel EasyApache system makes it easy to recompile Apache with various add-ons and modules.

If you ever need your old Tomcat back just stop Tomcat, flip the tomcat symbolic link back to the old install, and restart Tomcat.

How to Upgrade from VZ 4.0 to VZ 4.6

Upgrading from VZ 4.0 to VZ 4.6

If your server already has VZ 4.0, it’s very easy to upgrade to 4.6. You pretty much don’t have a choice because if you have other servers running 4.6, you won’t be able to move containers back and forth, and you won’t have many new kernel updates headed your way.

Note: This procedure is only for VZ 4.0 servers. If you run a previous version, you need to re-OS and reinstall VZ. You can’t upgrade to 4.6 from previous vesions!

1. Migrate all your containers off the server

If this is a live server, you’ll want to move off all your customers to avoid lengthy downtime. If you plan on moving them back, you can speed up the reverse process by moving off the containers and retaining their private areas

for ve in `vzlist -H -o veid,diskspace |sort -rnk2 |awk ‘{print $1}’` ; do vzmigrate -r no 192.168.x.x $ve ; done

2. Run a Yum update
Take this opportunity to update your operating system, noting that Virtuozzo already has an exclude file (/etc/yum/swsoft-excludes) to prevent the updates of certain packages.
yum update -y

3) install VZ 4.6
cd /root
wget http://download.parallels.com/pvc/46/lin/rtm/vzinstall-linux-x86_64.bin
chmod 755 vzinstall-linux-x86_64.bin
./vzinstall-linux-x86_64.bin

4) Run the self update
After the installation, run vzup2date twice (one is a self-update, the other is the kernel update)

5) reboot
6) Reapply customizations
If you had any customizations to VZ scripts (such as files in /etc/sysconfig/vz-script), you may need to re-apply them

7) Re-populate the server
Start migrations back to the server, which will take a fraction of the time since the private areas were retained:

for ve in `vzlist -H -o veid,diskspace |sort -rnk2 |awk ‘{print $1}’` ; do vzmigrate -r yes 192.168.x.x $ve; done
