if your apache still not working,
this should be the error related:

98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 216.18.22.101:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs


That means:
1- stop apache, /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
2- make sure no other apache instance or any other server that uses port 80 running, to check that, netstat -anp | grep tcp | grep 80
3- it says, unable to open logs. i suggest you to reset all apache/ehcp config files, so that, you may find at which point you get that error, to do that, follow http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771#comment-1177
4- ehcp debug page may also help you: http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771

in fact, you have a simple log dir problem. a directory exists in your configs, but not in system ... Maybe if there is an option of apache that creates those dirs automatically, that would be good..

hope those help..

Question:
Here is my problem.

I have a script. For it to work correctly the writer says
open_basedir must have “no Value”

He just took a look at my php.ini and said I need to correct it .
If you look at my php.ini here you will see Master value is setup correctly (meaning “open_basedir” is set to no value)
However Local value is not. See it here
http://xxxxx.com/phpinfo.php


You will see local is set to
var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/mydomain.com

How can I set it to “no value”?

The only place I saw it was in /var/www/vhosts/ehcp/apachehcp.conf
If I try to edit it there Apache fails to start.

Please help



Answer:

You can find some posts about this topic in http://www.ehcp.net/?q=search/node/open_basedir

To explain (maybe again) your case:
<li>1st, making open_basedir empty, meaning disabling it, and be sure that, this is a serious server security hole, with disabled, website owner can do bad things with your server,
<li> however, if you still want to disable:
<li>to disable for all domains, edit apachetemplate file, then options->sync domains
<li>to disable for only a single domain, click "edit apache template", delete open_basedir line

Hello. How to add more than one ftp account for a subdomain?

Question:

Hi,
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 Server where EHCP latest version was installed last week. Until today near everything is working fine. I have some apps not working and with errors like “Sys. Information” but I’ll discuss this problems later. For now I’m much more concerned with the e-mail server thing. The system can send and receive e-mails normally using Squirrel mail web interface, but when I try to configure an e-mail client like “Microsoft Office Outlook” I have a bunch of errors with the SMTP connection. I have tried everything that I found in your forums and help files with no results. I work with hosting in Windows Server environments since 1998 but with Linux I’m a complete newbie. I think that the problem could be with the SMTP port. In my last Windows 2003 server I had an arrangement that the SMTP used ports 25 and 587 because some ISPs here in Japan and other countries are blocking port 25 for spam reasons. I would like to try to do the same ar
rangement with Ubuntu but I don’t know how! What are the commands and where to look for in Ubuntu or EHCP? What I’ll have to do to configure Outlook? Where can I find in the system (or in EHCP) information about the “mail.domain.com”, “port numbers”, and all other stuff related to the mail server (postfix)…?

Regards,


Answer:
mail system name may be one of:
www.yourdomain.com
yourdomain.com
mail.yourdomain.com
as long as you host all in one server.

normally, port 25 is setup by default,
you need to test outlook connection using pop3, with ssl/tls settings,
try tls, ssl one by one in outlook.
Dont forget to include @domain.com in your email username.


as you mentioned, your ISP may block your port 25.
is your server located on a datacenter, or your home such as dsl ?

if your server in home/dsl, and if your isp blocks port 25 toward your server, then you are in trouble, you need to make your ip static, and ask your ISP to open port 25.

try also this:
open console, in linux,
open file using:
<code>nano /etc/postfix/master.cf

add on bottom of file:
<code>submission inet n - - - - smtpd

save and exit
then:
<code>/etc/init.d/postfix restart

this way, your server will accept emails at port 587 rather than 25.
This may solve your problem.

Email things are hardest part of a hosting business.
in fact, it is not so hard, but, compared to other things, it is hardest. if you think, latest changes in ISP's regarding port 25/587, because of spam, email problems changes in time

on any subject, including email, debuggin your system may help you a lot in understanding and solving your problems. so, debug your system while dealing with email, as described in http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771

Good luck.

Question:
I have a Big empty secondary 1TB drive. I need to point one of my domains to the secondary drive instead of the default /var/www/vhosts/somedomain.com/
Do you know how I can do that?

Answer:
you can do that like:

<code>mv /var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername <code>/var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername2
<code>ln -s /your/target/empty/drive/path <code>/var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername
<code>mv /var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername2/* /var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername/
<code>chown -Rvf vsftpd /var/www/vhosts/yourftpusername

This was simple linux so-called "symlinking".
I did not tested it but should work.

the idea is:
move your original data to a new name,
symlink your empty space to your original path
move your original data to your new symlink
make it ftp reachable (owned by vsftpd service)

in many cases, debuging your system and ehcp may help you resolve your problem.
Either your problem is email, or domains, or anything else, following steps may help you to resolve your problem.



1.open a console on your server, then enter:
sudo tail -f /var/log/ehcp.log
This will monitor the running of ehcp daemon.. you will/may see many lines when you add domains/subdomains.. or do some operations in your ehcp gui

2. open a separate console on your server, then enter:
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
this will show almost all aspects of your server, including email send/receive.. so, this will be useful when debugin especially email problems.


3. to be sure, open a separate ssh console, then enter:
sudo /etc/init.d/ehcp restart
this will restart ehcp daemon (background process) and make sure operations on ehcp gui be applied to your system.
Without daemon, most gui operations will not be applied to system.


after doing this, watch your console on 1 and 2 and try to debug your system.

<li>Note that, these are not mostly necessary on many systems, I mean, ehcp will usually work out of box. These are only needed on some circumstances and may help you resolve your cases..
<li>If you changed your mysql ehcp user pass after installation, follow: http://www.ehcp.net/?q=node/92

Question:
Is there a way to use another email service besides SquirrelMail? I have used RoundCube in the past, and I would like to know if its compatable with EHCP?

Answer:
it is possible to use it,
but you need to install it manually..
squirrelmail has nothing to do with ehcp, it communicates with email system using standard imap protocols..

if you can setup another webmail system, using imap or pop, then you may use it..

I choosed squirrelmail because it is easy to install.
I had tested roundcube, but it requires many manual steps..
to be able to include roundcube into ehcp, we need to have an automated installer.

if anybody knows to install roundcube via a script, then, we can include it in ehcp.

Hello,

I have found the login and control panel files and edited them successfully by removing the ads. I now want to do the same with the webmail template and the page you get when you type in the server IP.

Does anyone what the filenames of these files are called?

thanks.
