It occurs to me, that many may not need to increase the size of root. If root is 12GB or more, then it's more likely that you need to manage your server better.
Check the size of log files and rotate them more frequently, if you have /var mounted on root.
Are you managing the /backup space, if mounted on root?
Clean up the update cache: yum clean all
Do you have large/numerous databases that are mounted on root, if so move them to their own /var/mysql disc.
The list could go on but these are the main space hoggers.

Damn, I forgot to check where the databases are mounted, the backups I moved, the logs I keep clean, but completly forgot about the databases, that is most likley the issue!

I'm not selling anything to anyone, I am playing around in my own little sandbox, the only customer I have is myself. My goal is learning, I have IT qualifications, not that it means much, since there are plenty of people who are amazing with these things who are self-taught.

I mean, I could hire someone to fix everything for me all nice, and pretty, but where is the fun, and learning in that?

If you care to look around, I do sometimes help on this forum.
On the 'net, in general, I actually contribute widely including supporting open source projects, give advice to improve methodologies and guide others.
What I object to is spoon-feeding those who do not make the effort. Some of us have spent years in training, enhanced by industry experience to gain knowledge, at no little expense/sacrifice.

I have looked at your posts, and you do have a habit of being exceptionally rude, maybe to feel superior, because after all, you "spent years in training", and us plebs are just doing it as a bit of a hobby, maybe going on forums for a little help because we got stuck, shame on us for trying to learn, we should go through all those years of training! Nothing like a lovely bit of gatekeeping.

You have already looked at some relevant serverfault articles (a good place to start) but stopped immediately when the setup didn't match your environment. You need to (at least partially) understand your own setup.

Yes, I got stuck, so I came to a forum for some help, to try and learn, I love learning, being spoon-fed is not helpful, how does one learn without understanding why something is being typed.

Clues:
mount | grep dev
fdisk -l
fsck -f
resize2fs

Okay, thanks.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.
I left Kindergarten many moons ago.  :o

Could have fooled me.

I love people who are sarcastic, rather than helpful, imagin thinking you are so smart, and have the knowladge, yet you are unwilling to impart that on others, and wish to belittle them.

Additionally, you might not have noticed the forum name here, it's clearly labled "OTHER", you know, for none CWP stuff? Perhaps even, I don't know, other stuff!

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.

Hi,

I have tried a number of methods to increase size in / and reduce the size in /home, but I am drawing blanks.

I tried this - https://serverfault.com/questions/771921/how-to-shrink-home-and-add-more-space-on-centos7
Which I get as far as "lvremove /dev/mapper/centos-home" then get an error of  "Volume group "centos" not found Cannot process volume group centos"

And this method has the same problem.

Apache / No Longer using Userdir
« on: November 28, 2018, 04:26:55 PM »
I bulk uploaded some files through FileZilla to my server, with a user account that I made, and now none of those files show up, it is just pointing to the standard Apache HTTP Server Test Page, which is no use at all. It's not the CWP test page that comes up when you make a new user, and doesn't change if I upload a test index.html file to the user directory.

It seems something has messed up, but I don't know what, I am new to this, and attempting to learn, but I keep breaking things!

The new location it is using for files is /var/www/html when I want it to go to /home/*USER*/public_html.

Please help :(
