A fantastico installation is pretty straight forward. First thing you need to do is obtain a Fantastico license from Netenburg.
One of the most common issues when installing fantastico is a buggy wget install on the server, so a working wget version will need to be installed. Another common issue is cPanels internal php may break, but we will discuss the fix to that later on. Continue reading ‘Install fantastico on cPanel’
The most common compressed archive file format in Linux is the tar.gz format. Tar file is an archive file format. Tar.gz is a compressed tar file.
How to create a compressed tar.gz file from a folder or file in Linux?
In order to create a compressed tar.gz archive from a folder/file we need to run the following tar command:
tar -czf new-tar-file-name.tar.gz file-or-folder-to-archive
Here is the command explanation:
- tar – the tar command.
- c – create new archive.
- z – compress the archive using gzip.
- f – use archive file.
- new-tar-file-name.tar.gz – the name of the tar.gz to create.
- file-or-folder-to-archive – the name of the folder we want to archive.
I came across an issue for the first time where the cPanel icon was missing in the list accounts section. After digging around WHM, I found where the function was disabled.
- Uncheck the box next to “Disable login with root or reseller password into the users’ cPanel interface. Also disable switch account dropdown in themes with switch account feature”
After hitting save, you can go back to the list account section and the cPanel icon will be back.
So I came across this error for the first time today when trying to SSH directly into a clients VPS.
login as: root
root@server’s password:
Server refused to allocate pty
stdin: is not a tty
After a quick google search I came across the fix.
[root@node /]# vzlist -a
VEID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME
1337 78 running 69.10.59.80 grumpy.thelinuxnoob.com
[root@node /]# vzctl exec 1337 /sbin/MAKEDEV ptyp
[root@node /]# vzctl exec 1337 /sbin/MAKEDEV tty
[root@node /]# vzctl exec 1337 /sbin/MAKEDEV pty
The issue should now be resolved and you can SSH into the VPS.
