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.

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!

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.

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.

Hello,
Today I will be continuing from the first tutorial, which was how to install cPanel/WHM on your server. By starting this guide, I assume you 1) Have cPanel installed and 2) Know your servers IP.
Ok, the first step today is to login to WHM. You can do this by going to http://IPHERE:2086. In my case, I am running a test server on 192.168.1.11, so my URL would be http://192.168.1.11:2086/.
Once there it’ll ask me for a username and a password. For the username, please input ‘root’. This is the master account which has complete control over WHM. The password is your current root password, after inputing these please click the login button.

Hello Folks,
Today we will be starting with the basics, how to install cPanel/WHM on CentOS. I will be using CentOS 5.5 64-bit as my base OS; this will be the same for RedHat and for 32-bit also.
First we need to start with a fresh install of CentOS, you don’t need to install anything like Apache, MySQL, etc as the cPanel installer will take care of it all for us.
When reading this tutorial, I am going to assuming you know the basics of a shell (aka using SSH as some would say, if your running Windows I recommend PuTTy).
Ok, the first step is to make sure you are logged into your shell, the screen should look something similar to below.
Once we are both there, the next command will be to make the ‘cpinstall’ folder in your /home directory, you can do that by running the code below.
