[BlueOnyx:10358] Missing vhosts data
I did and yum update to a 5016R server the other day, and something went seriously wrong. The last update on it was back in February which went fine. This time about 670+ item were updated which surprised me, but for some reason PHP stopped working on all the vsites. I have the Solarspeed PHP 5.2 package installed. So I thought perhaps it needs a reboot, after such a large the update. I did that and on boot up up poped an Ext3 error and I couldn't login, bash was missing! I booted on the installer CD in linux rescue mode and did an fsck which found a lot of errors, but only confined to the /root volume. Which was strange, as if it was a drive failing the whole LVM should be effected. Anyway I manged to install the bits that fsck removed, all except the contents of /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts which is empty. How can I rebuild /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts ? - Ernie. ___ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx

> It's now in the new [BlueOnyx-Testing] YUM repository. Thanks, the update worked perfectly. One minor issue on the web form is that the "Limit (kbps)" form field requires a value even if Enable Bandwidth Limits isn't selected. This is the error: Sorry, the data entered in the field speed is invalid. Please check your input and try again. Putting any numeric value in the form field fixes the error but I suspect this is an oversight. Maybe pre-populate the form with a large value? Thanks for the quick fix.

Recently, there has been a lot of co-development work happening between Solarspeed and Compass. We have started working smarter, not harder. Wherever there is a package that we both make, we will retire one product to reduce duplicate development efforts. We have also done some core Blueonyx changes to make PKG installation more relable in general, and corresponding enhancements to NewLinQ. Many of the Solarspeed packages are now available via Compass. I had actually overlooked the PHP package, so my apologies for that. I will need to do some work in the near future to make that happen. There has also been a lot of progress on the WHAM installer with a lot of new and updated modules available, an improved build system to deliver more frequent updates, suPHP integration, and lots more. Stay tuned... Regards, Greg. ___ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx

[BlueOnyx:10353] Re: 5108R Quota discrepency
Yep - I've done that exact same thing. Mine was even worse - I didn't untar the old files in the virtual site's directory - but in /home/users/admin. But since they were still on the /home partition, and were owned by that user - they counted against that user. Took me a while to find them, but a "find" by user finally revealed them, and a quick change of ownership fixed the problem.

[BlueOnyx:10350] Re: 5108R Quota discrepency
Any files that are owned by that user are counted so there could be loads in /home/sites/www.domain.com/web/ File ownerships can also transfer over when files are copied as root and users uid's are different on different servers. e.g. you untar something as root which you copied from another machine. If you want to find every file then run `find / -user user_x -print` Dan On 26/04/2012 18:01, Randy Smith wrote: > Customer call says he's out of space and got an error in owm.

[BlueOnyx:10349] Re: 5108R Quota discrepency
Randy, A user's files could be somewhere else than in that user's home directory. If that user is the admin and has been loading a lot of files to the site's website - that counts again him too, since those files are also owned by that user. So you have to go around that virtual site, find all the files owned by that user and add them all up to get his actual total. It should come close to that quota number. One way to fix that is the new feature in the BX GUI where you can set the ownership of the /web directory's files. Change the ownership to "nobody" or "apache" - and it may solve that user's over-quota issue. Of course - that could cause other problems with the website itself (especially if using a CMS), so be sure you know what you're doing before changing those ownerships.

Hi Randy, > #RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 > > I can rewrite web_alias_redirects.pl to work as I want but I'd like to know > if it's aleady been fixed and I simply have an old version. ;) Yeah, that RewriteRule has been commented out during a BlueOnyx update a few days ago. As you pointed out, it affects the "web alias redirects" and as long as it is commented out, the switch "web alias redirects" in the GUI has no function. This was done as a short term fix for some SSL problems we had on 5107R and 5108R, where some sites with SSL enabled started and endless redirect loop. This is a problem between that RewriteRule and /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl_perl.conf, which does a dynamic change of the sites Apache config when SSL is enabled. I have the problem narrowed down to a faulty regular expression in ssl_perl.conf and within the next few days I'll release some updates which will hopefully solve both issues. -- With best regards Michael Stauber ___ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
