Backup / backup notifications by email

« on: May 16, 2025, 12:39:58 PM »

Good Day!

I am not sure if there is no feature  yet or if there is a way of doing this but when i create a backup say for 6pm a full backup daily which works great, i have the the option selected for when you finish home work it emails me every user that is backed up. if i have 50 accounts it will email be 50 times. Is there away to have email with a list of users that have been backed up or failed?

to give you an example:



also just for my old brain is this correct

When start and end task = emails me when the backup has started and finished

When Start Task = When the backup starts

When your finish home work = when the backup finishes

only when there are errors = Only if any errors happen.

To Whom i notify:

Account Owner = the email account attached to the user is emailed

To the server administrator = emails server admin that is setup in cwp

Other: State an email address to email

Thanks

Backup / backup issues - it was not possible to make the ssh connection

« on: April 29, 2025, 01:43:28 PM »

Hey all, i had a backup running fine from my web server to a test backup server running ubuntu 22.04

i have made a new production backup server but can't for the life of me get the SSH connection test to work - at the moment am just testing it with connection type : password, once am happy with it i will use a access key

WELL! as of writing this i thought i would create a new user on the production backup server called svr01uk with a basic password and it worked - spent 2 days trying to figure out why it would not connect to ssh, not sure if its me or a bug but thought i would carry on writing this post.

the first ever backup i created on my  test  backup server with the username was cwpbackup worked fine so it cant be the username BUT the user was just a user not a sudo user am not sure if that's an issue.

On the new backup server i used the same username cwpbackup and i used the password &UJ3fDz2XHTEm% ( a generated password) i want to give you as much details as possible so thought i would show the password i used. I tested the connection using ssh terminal from my web server to my new backup server and it connected fine so the connection is fine that way.

It failed when doing a connection test on the backup manager_2 screen, i disabled firewalls white listed IP's  but nothing worked. now after starting to write this post i just thought i would create a new user on my backup server that i want to use in production did that and it worked fine.

My question is why wouldnt a sudo user called cwpbackup with the above password not connect but a new user would. I wanted to see if its me doing something wrong. 

I was thinking could it be the following why it didnt work

• You cant use a user that is in the sudo group
• Does it not like having % or & in the password field
• Does it not like using the same username on more than one scheduled backup
• or am i just being stupid and its something else. 

I really hope the above makes sense, writing this as quick as i can before i need to head out.

Thanks so much for reading.

DNS / name servers taken a while to update

« on: November 29, 2024, 05:42:16 PM »

Hi

Am trying to add two new domains to my cwp server

i have created two accounts  fixcomputers.co.uk and njt-builders.com.
(others work fine on it for example freddio.co.uk or linuxshed.com - test domains for learning how to use cwp).

updated the name servers to ns1 and ns2.clickns.cloud but the domains don't seem to be updating waited over 3 days for njt-builders.com and a day for fixcomputers.co.uk -you can see its updated on whatsmydns in Pakistan or India but none of the other countries show the name servers updating.

Anything am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

for example if i go to mydomain.com:2087 it comes with https lined out same if i go to mydomain.com:2083 i get the " Your connection is not private" Do i need to install an SSL for ever account that uses :2083 to log in there control panel or can i just install one ssl on the server for every user that visits there control panel?

If i just need to install one what is the best way to do this.

Am sorry i really hope that makes sense.

How to / create a directory on a hosting account (says forbidden)

« on: October 31, 2024, 10:14:31 AM »

I have a domain that i was looking to install an SSL via ssls.com but it asked to upload a file to validation. here is the issue

if i create a folder on linuxshed.com/test/ you should see a directory here with 1 image file in it but it says forbidden.

i have to create a folder .well-known/pki-validation which i have via file manager, uploaded the txt file ssls.com has asked me to do but it says forbidden if i try and access it and so does the file inside that folder that i try and access which is a small text file.

Any ideas what am doing wrong?

i created a file with /test2 with an index.html file in it and that worked. do i need to have an index file in every folder for it not to be forbidden to access?

Thanks for everyone's help so far for all the questions i am asking.

Mod_Security / Mod_Security blocking wordpress plugins?

« on: October 30, 2024, 04:37:29 PM »

Hi

I had an issue where when i installed Wordpress and Elementor and some plugins that provide addons, if i added an addon to the site it looks fine but as soon as i went to save the page i got an error saying 403 forbidden via elementor in the bottom left hand corner, I could add normally text, headings and the basic stuff using elementor and it saved just not the addon sections. Looking around i found this post

https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/apache/403-forbidden/  It wasn't to do with my issue but it helped as i disabled mod secuirty for the domain that was having the issue and the addons saved just fine. (only have 1 domain on the server at the moment while am testing cwp.

Is it possible to allow certain things past mod security ? i have never used it before sorry so am not sure how it works or how to use it.

DNS / help with name servers

« on: October 28, 2024, 04:49:36 PM »

Hi everyone

Am new to CWP and setting up a web server - normally i purchase a reseller account but want to grow and start doing a lot more for myself server side wise.

I have installed CWP got it up and running with no problems how do i now create custom name servers for example ns1 and ns2.example.com and point them to the IP so when i need to host someone i can just say use these name servers.

i have a test server and a test domain name. Do i ask my register to create private servers or do i need to host the domain elsewhere and then setup some ns records?


Sorry for the basic question and sorry if its in the wrong section of the forum.

Thanks
Dave
