Kill restore process in new cpanel

In new cpanel/WHM when we try to kill restore process it is still showing in WHM >> restore full backup. Below are the steps to remove that process from WHM.

You can manually mark the transfer as completed using the following instructions:

Ensure the transfer is no longer running by clicking on the “View” option under “Sessions in Progress” for this transfer. In the new window, there will be a line that looks like this:

You may close this window and view the transfer on the command line: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/view_transfer 1071601843quick20141013154952IAZhRro

Access your server via SSH and run that command (the transfer name will be different on your server):

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/view_transfer 1071601843quick20141013154952IAZhRro

As an example, you might see output like this:

Transfer running with pid: paused
[795 ][MASTER ]: Start Session
[795 ][MASTER ]: Version: 1.9

You will note that the master PID for this transfer is xxx. If the process still exists, and the transfer has failed, then you can kill that process:

kill -9 xxx

The next step requires you to change the entry for this transfer in the whmxfer.sessions table in MySQL. Find the entry with the session ID for your migration. In the example we have been using, it’s ‘ 1071601843quick20141013154952IAZhRro .’ It will look like this:

mysql -e “select * from whmxfer.sessions where sessionid=’1071601843quick20141013152137YIVT7Ze'”
+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———+
| sessionid | initiator | pid | version | target_host | source_host | state | starttime | endtime |
+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———+
| 1071601843quick20141013152137YIVT7Ze | quickrestore | 21295 | 1.9 | vps1.insurancedxb.com | localhost | 50 | 2014-10-13 08:21:37 | NULL |
+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———+

You will need to change the ‘state’ field to 100, and change the ‘endtime’ field from NULL to a time after the ‘starttime’ field:

mysql -e “update whmxfer.sessions set state=’100′, endtime=’2014-10-14 09:37:52′ where sessionid=’1071601843quick20141013152137YIVT7Ze'”

If you check it again then you will notice that process ended.

+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———————+
| sessionid | initiator | pid | version | target_host | source_host | state | starttime | endtime |
+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———————+
| 1071601843quick20141013152137YIVT7Ze | quickrestore | 21295 | 1.9 | vps1.insurancedxb.com | localhost | 100 | 2014-10-13 08:21:37 | 2014-10-14 09:37:52 |
+————————————–+————–+——-+———+———————–+————-+——-+———————+———————+

The transfer should then no longer appear under “Sessions in Progress.”

You can reconfirm the same by login into WHM.

Backup existing MySQL data

Make sure to save all existing data just in case there are any issues.

cp -Rf /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql-old
mv /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf-old

Disable the targets so cPanel no longer handles MySQL updates

The following will mark the versions of MySQL we distribute as uninstalled so they are no longer maintained by cPanel/WHM

/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions –edit target_settings.MySQL50 uninstalled
/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions –edit target_settings.MySQL51 uninstalled
/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions –edit target_settings.MySQL55 uninstalled

Remove existing MySQL RPM’s so theres a clean slate for MariaDB

The below command will uninstall the MySQL RPM’s!

/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms –fix –targets=MySQL50,MySQL51,MySQL55

Create a yum repository for MariaDB

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo

place the following inside of it depending on the DISTRO (https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/):

[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5.29/centos6-amd64/
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1

Remove php from the /etc/yum.conf file then run the following commands

yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client MariaDB-devel
/etc/init.d/mysql start
mysql_upgrade
/etc/init.d/mysql restart

Add php back to the /etc/yum.conf file to ensure future php updates don’t get clobbered

Rebuild easyapache/php to ensure modules are intact/working

/scripts/easyapache –build

How to Configure Multiple shared IP’s in WHM

It is not possible to add multiple shared IP’s from WHM but it is possible to do it from SSH.

First of all we need to create a /var/cpanel/mainips/ directory if it is not present.

mkdir /var/cpanel/mainips/

Then we have to create a file.

vi /var/cpanel/mainips/root

Add all IP’s into it. save the file and quit.

121.127.250.152
121.127.250.153
121.127.250.154

Now login to WHM and check the IP’s

You can always uninstall CloudLinux. In this case, we will ‘convert’ the system

back to CentOS. Even if the original system was RHEL — we will still convert to

‘CentOS’ state.

To uninstall CloudLinux follow below steps:

wget -O cldeploy http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy

sh cldeploy -c

Please, note that some of the packages from CloudLinux repo will still be present. They are same as CentOS packages, and don’t have to be removed. They will be updated in the future from CentOS repositories, as new versions come out.

You can use below steps further:

Check if your server is Cloudlinux installed in it using below command.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cloudlinux_system_install -c

Update your CentOS-provided RPMs

yum upgrade -y

Rebuild Apache

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/easyapache –build

or

/scripts/easyapache –build

Reinstall a non-CloudLinux kernel.

yum –disableexcludes=all install kernel

Remove CloudLinux Kernel

rpm -qa |awk ‘/^kernel.*lve/ {print $1|”xargs yum -y erase”}’

Reinstall any CloudLinux-provided RPMs that are also provided by CentOS

rpm -qa –qf “[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]”|awk ‘/CloudLinux/ {print $2|”xargs yum reinstall -y”}’

Downgrade any CloudLinux provided RPMs to the CentOS version

rpm -qa –qf “[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]”|awk ‘/CloudLinux/ {print $2|”xargs yum downgrade -y”}’

Remove any remaining CloudLinux specific RPMs

rpm -qa –qf “[%{VENDOR} %{NAME}\n]”|awk ‘/CloudLinux/ {print $2|”xargs yum erase -y”}’

Upgrade any downgraded CentOS provided RPMs

yum upgrade -y

Reboot the server to use the new non-CloudLinux kernel

reboot

Command to check mod_pagespeed is installed in server.

curl -D http://127.0.0.1

You will get below output.

Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2012 21:51:06 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
X-Mod-Pagespeed: 0.10.22.4-1633

How to: Install mod_pagespeed in cpanel

Login to the server via SSH

Go to below folder

cd /usr/local/src

create directory

mkdir mod_pagespeed

Download pagespeed rpm

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/mod-pagespeed-beta_current_i386.rpm

Extract the rpm

rpm2cpio mod-pagespeed-beta_current_i386.rpm | cpio -idmv

Copy the modules to apache modules folder

cp /usr/local/src/mod-pagespeed/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_pagespeed.so /usr/local/apache/modules/

cp /usr/local/src/mod-pagespeed/etc/httpd/conf.d/pagespeed.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/

Provide execute permission

chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_pagespeed.so

Create below folders

mkdir /var/mod_pagespeed/{cache,files} -p

Provide correct ownership

chown nobody:nobody /var/mod_pagespeed/*

mod_pagespeed has a dependency that you’ll want to enable: mod_deflate (the httpd source directory (2.2.16) may vary depending on your install):

/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -c -i /home/cpeasyapache/src/httpd-2.2.16/modules/filters/mod_deflate.c

We have to edit mod_pagespeed configuration file located at /usr/local/apache/conf/pagespeed.conf to reflect the correct paths, the LoadModule directives should fetch the modules in “modules/module_name.so”

LoadModule pagespeed_module modules/mod_pagespeed.so
LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so
ModPagespeedFileCachePath "/var/mod_pagespeed/cache/"
ModPagespeedGeneratedFilePrefix "/var/mod_pagespeed/files/"

After that, we’ll need to include the mod_pagespeed configuration in Apache’s configuration file (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf):

Include conf/pagespeed.conf

In order to keep the changes permanant run the command below.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller –update

Now restart apache service.

Sometime while accessing WHM, some links are giving below error.

===============================================
Unknown License File Version (has = 23, needed = 22, length=1554). This means that the system failed to get a new license, or part of the update process failed. If you are the server admin,
===============================================

To resolve this issue follow the below steps

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

If above commands work then it’s ok but if it is still show above error then follow the below steps

run the below command to stop cpsrvd service

/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcpsrvd

then sync the files from cpanel server using below command this will fix your issue.

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp –sync
