Apache – Thesis Hosting

Addon Vs. Parked Domains in cPanel

Where is the info for Addon Domains stored in Apached? Parked domains? cPanel Docs gives us an answer:

	Addon Domains	Parked Domains
Main domain appears in the address bar	Yes	No
Apache directive used	VirtualHost	ServerAlias
Separate logs	Yes	No
Separate stats	Yes	No
Treated as a subdomain (other than URL)	Yes	No
Ideal for multiple domains sharing the same address	No	Yes

Deleting an addon domain won’t delete the files or databases associated with that domain. A parked domain, of course, won’t have files or databases associated with it.

Restarting Haldaemon from the Command Line

Have a need to restart Haldaemon? I did, p0inted out from the ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) error report:

The file system shows this process is running an executable file that has been deleted. This typically happens when the original file has been replaced by a new file when the application is updated. To prevent this being reported again, restart the process that runs this excecutable file. See csf.conf and the PT_DELETED text for more information about the security implications of processes running deleted executable files.

From command line prompt: /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart

At least, that’s where it was on my system.

Default New Account Address of Server IP/~username Not Working?

If you cannot access your sites via http://ipaddress/~username (usually used as a temporary address pending domain propagation for new hosting clients), check that the Apache module mod_userdir, if enabled, has an exception configured for the default virtual host.

End transmission.

cPanel /WHM Server Default Parking Page

To set up a default parking page for cPanel/WHM server, you need to place your default files in the proper place.

Check /usr/local/apache/htdocs for when a domain resolves to your server but does not actually exist in the Apache configuration file. If you just need a park page set up you can place it in that directory and name it index.php, index.html, etc.

As always, your configuration may vary.
