Daily Tech Tip: Recompiling Apache/PHP on your cPanel Server
Filed in cPanel Tutorials | Tutorials 2 Comments
Sorry about the lack of updates, I have gotten the new game Rift and have been playing that non-stop.
Ok, in today’s tech tip I am going to be showing you how to use Easyapache through your web browser to recompile Apache/PHP for your server and enable suPHP. I won’t go over the pros/cons to each setup but I do recommend suPHP for increased security.
Firstly,you’ll need to navigate to your WHM and login. From there file the option “Easyapache (Apache Update)” and click on it.
Next from there you might have an existing profile you want to use (or you can download mine here). I am going to start off with “PHP Image Manipulation” and build off that.
Once you have that clickled your just going to press the “Start customizing based on profile”.
The next screen should bring up the Apache version screen. Unless you have a reason to run the other versions, I recommend Apache 2.2, so click that and then press ‘Next Step’.
The next screen will ask you what versions of PHP to compile. In this tutorial we will be compiling both in for the sake of showing everyone, so in my case I would check both and then click Next Step.

Daily Tech Tip: Deleting the cPanel Cache.
Filed in cPanel Tutorials | Tutorials Leave a comment
Ever have a problem were cPanel would always show inaccurate info, or did a user mess one of there settings up and you want it to be restored? Sometimes this is as easy as deleting the cPanel cache, or a cached set of files per account that make cPanel faster than having to obtain the data on demand.
It’s very easy and only takes one line to do. All you need to do is cd to the users home directory, for instance if the username of the user is blong we would cd to /home/blong with the following command.
# cd /home/blog
Then after that it’s as easy as removing the .cpanel folder.
# rm -rf .cpanel
And now the user’s cPanel cache is deleted…next time they reload there cPanel it’ll feel like a fresh account just made. If this doesn’t fix a problem you think it would it’s more deep than that.
Please note this article is provided as a how-to and I can not be held responsible for any errors. If an error is occurred and you need any help please feel free to e-mail me at brandon[@]brandonlong[.]me and I will assist you as good as I can. With that said happy server administrating!

Daily Tech Tip: Removing a stray domain from a cPanel account
Filed in cPanel Tutorials | Tutorials Leave a comment
Ever have that problem were your user goes to add a domain and it says “Sorry: This domain is owned by another user”. It could even be something other than that, but right now I will show you how to remove the domain from the account entirely in three easy steps.
Requirments
- Basic SSH Knowleddge
- Root access to server
Ok, the first step is to login to the server with the root account (some people may need to login and use su to obtain this.) First we need to know if it’s an addon domain or parked domain, but operate in different ways. A parked domain is just an extra DNS entry and then added to another domains ‘ServerAlias’ in their VirtualHost directive. An add-on domain is a sub-domain of the users main domain and then the actual domain is parked on that sub-domain.
First we will need to open the users cPanel users file and investigate more. To do this we will need the users cPanel username.

Did I die?
Filed in Uncategorized Leave a comment
Folks,
Not sure if any of you are waiting for the second step process of the ultimate nginx box, but I lost my files when my computer decided to randomly reboot.
I will be working on them this week again along with a client account I am setting up.

How to setup CentOS: Bare Install
Filed in CentOS Tutorials 1 Comment
Hello,
Today I will be showing you folks how to do a Bare CentOS install for use in installing a custom Apache, PHP and MySQL setup (or maybe even changing out CentOS for nginx or lighttpd, which will be covered in some later tutorials.)
Please note that I am showing this as a how-to guide and data may be permanently deleted from your hard drive, please use caution when selecting options. If you are unsure on something Google it or leave a comment and I will help you ASAP.
The first step is to download the CentOS image, since you will be doing a base image you can use the NetInstall DVD (32-bit or 64-bit [Please note these must be burned to a CD-Rom to be used with a proper ISO program]) and also note this tutorial was created using the DVD, but the NetInstall process is similar.
Ok once you have the ISO image above burned to a disk, you’ll want to pop it into the PC your going to use’s CD/DVD drive and reboot the PC, make sure that the CD/DVD Drive is set to boot before the hard drive otherwise it might not boot from the CD/DVD Drive (on some computers, you can press ESC for a boot loader menu and select the drive manually.) Once you get that far, you’ll get the following screen.
