Read MoreAssigning Name server IPs manually via SSH – cPanel
Currently cPanel will start with eth0 and work through eth1 when you assign nameservers to your IPs via WHM. Unfortunately, this will automatically choose your management IP range first, which of course are non-routable. There are two work-arounds for this: 1: Create a fake nameserver record on your private IPs, and add an A record for that nameserver to your DNS. This is the fastest option, but not the best. 2: SSH to your server and edit /etc/nameserverips manually. An […]

Read MoreSecuring the TMP Partition and Tracking Hacks

The tmp directory is world-writeable and used by a majority of services on a machine — including the storage of PHP and MySQL session files. One issue that I’ve seen on older servers is that one customer’s poorly-coded website would get exploited and end […]
