Yeah. Why I haven't thought about it. In the following posts, you will be seeing KB entries from Parallel's Knowledgebase. I will just be posting about the most known problems I've encountered. But please, before you touch anything, make sure that you have a backup. Use this kb's at your own risk.

Cheers.

Sorry for posting an out-of-topic post but have you heard of the prophecy guy named "Mr. Juseleeno Nobulega DaRoose" from Brazil who predicts that an earthquake will hit Philippines this July 18, 2008 and Japan, and tells something about some other stuffs that are really creepy.

But please people, do not panic. No science or nobody can ever predict an earthquake. They are just doing this to scare you off.

And to the pigs who helped in spreading this hoax, we pity you. Probably a 10.0 magnitude earthquake hit their brains.

Let's just hope for the best. If it's really our time then so be it. =)

IP04 Four Port IP-PBX

This looks promising ---> IP04 Four Port IP-PBX

From the wiki, the IP04 is a 4 port IP-PBX that runs Asterisk and uClinux on a powerful embedded Blackfin processor. It's complete IP-PBX with 4 analog ports. No PC required!

The article is worth reading. Maybe I'll be able to play with this one too soon.





Looking for the Centos 5.0 Livecd root password? I've spent hours looking for this one. But here you go:

Common SSH commands

I've compiled some of the common linux/unix shell commands. I believe this will be a great jumpstart for all *nix lovers like me.

Goodluck!


cd : change directory
ex. cd /root (brings you to the /root directory)
cd .. : moves you the upper directory
ex. if you're in /root
cd .. ( brings you to the cd / directory)

cd ~ : directs you to your home directory (/home)

cd - : brings you to the last directory you were in
cat : print file contents to the screen
syntax:
cat filename.txt - this prints the contents of the file filename.txt to your screen

ls : lists all the contents of a directory including all the files/directories in it.

ls -al : shows all files,directories,including hidden ones and the details/attributes for each file
ex.
[root@localhost var]# ls -al

total 220

drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Feb 5 20:25

drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Mar 22 23:11

chmod : changes the permissions of a particular file/directory.
Syntax:
From left to right:
USER - GROUP - EVERYONE

chmod filename

0 = --- No permission

1 = --X Execute only

2 = -W- Write only

3 = -WX Write and execute

4 = R-- Read only

5 = R-X Read and execute

6 = RW- Read and write

7 = RWX Read, write and execute


ex.
chmod 755 filename - gives read,write and execute permissions on the USER and read and execute permissions only to the Group and Everyone. This will look like:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 5 2007 filename
chown : changes the file ownership
USER GROUP
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 5 2007 filename
Syntax:
chown owner.owner filename - this sets the owner of the user and group to "owner"
chown .owner filename - this sets the owner of the group to "owner"
Ex.
chown apache:apache filename
The output would be:
From
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 5 2007 filename
It will be
drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Sep 5 2007 filename

du - (disk usage) displays the file space allocated to each file and directory contained in the current directory

-a, display an entry for each file (and not directory) contained in the
current directory
-H, calculate disk usage for link references specified on the command line
-k, show sizes as multiples of 1024 bytes, not 512-byte
-L, calculate disk usage for link references anywhere
-s, report only the sum of the usage in the current directory, not for each
file
-x, only traverse files and directories on the device on which the pathname
argument is specified.
-h, show filesize in nice human readable format.

This prints the summary disk space usage of the current directory.

Ok so that's it for now. I will be updating this post from time to time so be sure to bookmark the link.


Cheers!

For zipping up an entire directory, use the command:

zip -r directory directory


This creates the archive directory.zip, containing all the files and directories in the directory directory that is contained within the current directory.

zip directory *


This creates a zip file named directory.zip and contains all the files on the current working directory.

zip -j directory directory/*

You can use this if you want to create a zip archive and omits its directory name.

-j option - Store just the name of a saved file (junk
the path), and do not store directory names. By default, zip will store the full
path (relative to the current path).


Blogger Blog Design

Sorry for the poor design of my blog. I'm working on this. (I hope someone is kind enough to donate me a header) Lol. Kiddin.

Looks doesn't matter I guess but design is also somewhat important to visitors. I just posted this to let you all know.

Thanks for the visit!

It's been a while since my last post. I got so little time in updating my blog because of the tons of tasks assigned to me. Plus the Holy Week Vacation. Lol. Anyway, I am cooking something and I promise to post here what'll be the outcome and of course the how-to. ;)

Login for webstats on Plesk

Login for webstats on Plesk

Open domain’s httpd.include (HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/domain/conf/httpd.include) file and search for something like:

"AuthType BasicAuthName “Domain statistics”AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/domain/pd/d..httpdocs@plesk-statrequire valid-user"

The above entry tells that access to web-stats page (/var/www/vhosts/domain/statistics) is restricted to valid-users specified within ‘AuthUserFile’.
So, create an encrypted password using htpasswd and append its output to ‘AuthUserFile’.
$ htpasswd -nb username userpass
>> /var/www/vhosts/domainName/pd/d..httpdocs@plesk-stat

Note: Don’t forget to use ‘>>’. Using one symbol (>) will erase existing entries.

Now, you should be able to login using username & userpass.

To enable MAPS SPAM protection in Plesk, begin by selecting the server you wish to manage, then “Mail”, then “MAPS Zone”. The 5 major SPAM protection lists are listed below with a general description.

Users can define which lists they would like to use:

1. Spamhaus block list (SBL) sbl.spamhaus.org: A free real-time DNS-based database of IP addresses of verified SPAMmers, SPAM gangs and SPAM services.

2. Arbitrary black hole list (ABL) spammers.v6net.org: Aggressive black list that may stop mail from popular mail servers (xxx.yahoo.com, xxx.hotmail.com)

3. Domain Name System Real-time Black List (DNSRBL) dun.dnsrbl.net: List of IP addresses of machines that are either direct SPAM sources or Dial-up (dynamic address) pools which would never be a source of non-SPAM messages.

4. VOX DNSBL vox.schpider.com: List of servers that send out SPAM, compiled by phydiux.com and it’s partners.

5. RFC Ignorant (Whois) whois.rfc-ignorant.org: List of IP’s that do not comply with RFC’s.

In the newer versions of Plesk, such as Plesk 8.1, they have renamed the “MAPS Zone” option to “Enable support for Trend Micro RBL+ Service.” If you want to enter multiple lists, separate the lists by semicolon. For example: “maps1.domain.com” or “maps1.domain.com;maps2.domain.com”.
