Hello Folks,

If someone receives the below error while uploading theme by using wordpress.

Failed to connect to FTP Server x.x.x.x:21

It is asking me for my hostname, username, and password which I put.

when I try to connect through port 21 (which Wordpress tries to do) it fails and showing error "Failed to connect to FTP Server x.x.x.x:21"

In such issue open wp-config.php file into Wordpress root installation folder and add below code.

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

After that it won't ask for FTP hostname, username, and password.

[cur]

Hi,

If you run a website, you may find out one day that you have a mail account containing thousands of messages. The most common reason this happens is because the default email account is set up as a "catch-all" address. This will direct all email sent to invalid usernames at your domain to the default Inbox. Because spammers send out spam messages to invalid email addresses all the time, the number of emails received by the default mailbox can grow by thousands of messages each day.

Just follow below steps to delete thousands email messages.

1) Log into the Horde Mail system.
2) Click the "Folders" icon at the top of the window.
3) Check the box next to "Inbox" or the mailbox that contains the messages you want to delete.
4) From the "Choose Action:" drop-down menu, select "Empty Folders."
5) Click "Empty Selected Folders" to clean out the mailbox.

Depending on how many messages are stored in your Inbox, this operation may take a few seconds to several minutes to complete. The only catch is that if the mailbox contains too many messages, the operation will time out and will not empty the mailbox.
You may have to delete the message folders manually. To do this, you will first need to navigate to the mail folder, which is located in the following directory.

/home/username/mail/

where "username" is the username for the mail account.

The two folders you will need to delete are the cur and new folders, which contain the messages. You may be able to do this with an SSH.

Use below commands to recursively delete the cur and new directories.

cd /home/username/mail

rm -rf cur

rm -rf new

I hope this information is helpful to you.

That's it.

Hi,

Our client was facing an issue with "Hotlink protection" while enabling hotlink protection, Below is the error message.

There was an error while enabling hotlink protection.

Apache detected an error in the Rewrite config.

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: line 18: ulimit: virtual memory: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Please try again.

You receive this error because the permissions on the log file is incorrect OR the .htaccess file has a incorrect rules which conflicts with litespeed.

Set permissions on the log file so that it can be modified/written easily.

Hi,

Ever needed to make a quick adjustment to the php.ini file but you weren't sure where it was? Here is a quick command you can use on server.

php -i | grep php.ini

That's all. 

Hi,

If you are making any changes directly in the apache configuration file on cPanel servers then please don't forget to run the apache distiller to update the template, userdata and apache configuration data files. Otherwise, the changes will get revert back in next apache update.
For example, if you are editing virtualhost entry of any domain then use
the below command to update the userdata.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update

This will prevent cPanel and Apache from removing any changes you made whenever Apache gets restart.

Or

When you need to edit the httpd.conf file or settings for a specific cPanel user you should do so from the below command.

/var/cpanel/userdata/USERNAME folder

After you update any of those files you need to tell cPanel to rebuild the apache configuration file, the easiest way to do that is to run below command.

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

That's it. 

["yourwebsite.com/phpinfo.php"]

Hi,

PHP has many environmental variables that you are able to update as needed. For example, you may need to update your php memory_limit to prevent certain scripts from running out of memory. In order to change these values, you must first be able to see what they are. To do that, you will need to create a phpinfo page. A phpinfo page shows you all of your php environment settings.

A phpinfo page is simply a php page with the below code.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Follow below steps to create phpinfo page using file manager.

1) Log into your cPanel.
2) Open your File Manager.
3) We are viewing the php settings for our main domain, so open the public_html folder.
4) Click on new file.
5) When prompted for the file name, enter phpinfo.php.
6) Open the phpinfo.php and add below code.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then click on save changes and open it in a browser, URL should be "yourwebsite.com/phpinfo.php" and it will give all the information which is related to PHP which is compiled on your shared hosting server.

That's all
