Information / How to transfer website from cPanel server to CWP

« on: December 19, 2013, 11:32:55 PM »

How to transfer website from cPanel server to CWP (CentOS Web Panel server)?

First and most important install CWP by following this instructions:
http://centos-webpanel.com/installation

Configuration of WebPanel
- Setup nameservers (CWP *- > DNS Functions -*> Edit Nameservers IPs)
- Setup shared ip (CWP --> WebPanel Settings - -> WebPanel Settings)
- Setup at least one hosting package (CWP --> Accounts --> Add a Package)
- Setup root email (CWP --> WebPanel Settings - -> WebPanel Settings)

How to Setup NameServers?
You can setup your own nameserver but then you need to have at least two IPs or you can use FreeDNS:

You can use one of the Free DNS server providers like:

http://freedns.centos-webpanel.com/
http://freedns.afraid.org/

When you register on Free DNS providers site there you will get Nameservers that you can use for yours domains.
Nameservers you need to add in: CWP - > DNS Functions -> Edit Nameservers IPs
* This nameservers you enter here will be used in all configs and account setups


If you are using FreeDNS service than you will need to point yours domain to nameservers that you get on FreeDNS  website.
On FreeDNS Website you need to point domain to your server IP address.
This changes will need up to 24 hours to be visible for you.

Create New Account
- Accounts --> New Account
- SQL Services --> MySQL Manager (New Database & User)

Download Data from cPanel server
- Download all files from yours cPanel servers /home/username/public_html folder
- Download MySQL Database with phpMyAdmin from cPanel server

Upload Data to CWP server and import MySQL database
- with FTP or SSH uplaod all files to your CWP server in /home/username/public_html folder you created before with new account
- with phpMyAdmin on CWP import database you downloaded (with logins details of mysql user)
* You can zip .sql file and import it much faster

Edit yours config files that connects to MySQL database on CWP
eg. for wordpress /home/public_html/wp-config.php  (check: host, username, database and password)

and that is it, test your website.

If you use mod rewrite and .htaccess for your website than you will need to add this in your vhost file (change USERNAME)
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd_webpanel_vhosts.conf

Code: [Select]

<Directory "/home/USERNAME/public_html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>add this config beffore </VirtualHost> for your domain

yours problem is something with VPS server updates, try to run this command on fresh server install.

Code: [Select]

MySQL / Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket

« on: December 15, 2013, 04:14:23 AM »

Fix for error: Another MySQL daemon already running with the same unix socket.

To prevent the problem from occurring, you must perform a graceful shutdown of the server from the command line rather than powering off the server.

Code: [Select]

shutdown -h now
This will stop the running services before powering down the machine.
Based on Centos, an additional method for getting it back up again when you run into this problem is to move mysql.sock:

Code: [Select]

mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.bak

Code: [Select]

service mysqld start

« on: December 10, 2013, 12:05:33 AM »

If you have Dedicated server, VPS server, only one ip, you don't want or don't know how to setup DNS server than you can use free DNS services.

Tested providers
http://freedns.centos-webpanel.com/    (Free CWP DNS Manager)
http://freedns.afraid.org/

How to setup free DNS:
- You will need to point your domain to DNS servers from FreeDNS service provider you selected

SSL / SSL certificate generator bash script

« on: December 01, 2013, 05:50:43 PM »

Here’s a handy shell script for creating SSL certs for use in things like Apache, Exim, Dovecot, etc – it can handle creating a local certificate authority to self-sign as well if you aren’t using an official CA. In typical usage one would run makekey, makecsr and send server.csr to a CA to get signed. After receiving server.crt back, run makedh and makepem to make a nice single PEM file that can be used with most software.

sslkeygen.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
 
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
  echo "This script takes 2 params"
  echo
  echo "$0 <mode> <key filename>"
  echo
  exit 1
fi
 
SERVER=$2
 
case "$1" in
  makeca)
    /usr/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 4096
    /usr/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -days 1825 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
    ;;
  makekey)
    /usr/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 2048 > ${SERVER}.key.encrypted
    /usr/bin/openssl rsa -in ${SERVER}.key.encrypted -out ${SERVER}.key
    ;;
  makecsr)
    if [ ! -f ${SERVER}.key ]; then
      echo "${SERVER}.key missing, run \"$0 makekey\" first."
      exit 1
    fi
    /usr/bin/openssl req -new -key ${SERVER}.key -out ${SERVER}.csr
    ;;
  signcrt)
    if [ ! -f ca.key ] || [ ! -f ca.crt ]; then
      echo "ca.key missing, run \"$0 makeca\" first."
      exit 1
    fi
    if [ ! -f ${SERVER}.csr ]; then
      echo "${SERVER}.csr missing, run \"$0 makecsr\" first."
      exit 1
    fi
    /usr/bin/openssl x509 -req -days 1825 -in ${SERVER}.csr -CA ca.crt \
      -CAkey ca.key -set_serial 01 -out ${SERVER}.crt
    ;;
  makedh)
    /bin/dd if=/dev/urandom of=ssldh.rand count=1 2>/dev/null
    /usr/bin/openssl gendh -rand ssldh.rand 512 > ${SERVER}.dh
    ;;
  makepem)
    if [ ! -f ${SERVER}.key ]; then
      echo "${SERVER}.key missing, run \"$0 makekey\" first."
      exit 1
    fi
    if [ ! -f ${SERVER}.crt ]; then
      echo "${SERVER}.crt missing, obtain from CA or run \"$0 signcrt\" first."
      exit 1
    fi
    cat ${SERVER}.key > ${SERVER}.pem
    cat ${SERVER}.crt >> ${SERVER}.pem
    ;;
  *)
    echo
    echo $"Usage: $0 {makeca|makekey|makecsr|signcrt|makedh|makepem} <key filename>"
    echo
    exit 2
esac
