Configuring Passive ports in PROFTPD

Edit /etc/proftpd.conf or whatever your conf file is:
PassivePorts 40000 40100
Now enable this port range in iptables.

Unable to update the main (default) FTP account password via control panel. The following error occurred:

Attempting to modify nonexistent username
Couldn't delete previous ProFTPd user config file.

OR

The issue is occurring due to the absence of password entry in the passwd.vhosts file.

#cd /etc/proftpd/
Server:/etc/proftpd#grep userName: passwd.vhosts
Server:/etc/proftpd#

This shows that password entry is missing in the /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts. Add the corresponding entry from /etc/proftpd/userName.

The entry can be found from /etc/proftpd/userName.

Add the above entry in /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts.

Server:/etc/proftpd#cat >> passwd.vhosts
userName:$1$MAwZd0to$A8U6GQNGwkC0c7DA0P/7..:1697:1697:userName:/home/userName:/nonexiste

This will fix the issue.

Note: Replace the userName, domainName by corresponding values. Also make sure that you are using “>>” instead of “>”. The “cat > passwd.vhosts” will wipe out the entire content in the passwd.vhosts file.

This is applicable to Cpanel, vDeck control panels.

Problem: You get the ftp error “553 Disk full – please upload later”, even when the quota of the user has not been exceeded and the disk partition in which all the user accounts reside (say /dev/sda5) is not full.

Cause: The value of the variable ‘MaxDiskUsage’ in the pure-ftpd configuration file (/etc/pure-ftpd.conf ) will be equal to or less than the percent use of the partition.
——————————————–
root@ [~]# grep MaxDiskUsage /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
MaxDiskUsage 90
——————————————–
#df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 144G 59G 78G 90% /
——————————————–

Solution: Change the MaxDiskUsage value to 99 (Some high value) and restart pure-ftpd. 🙂

It is better to hide tmp/usr/lib/var folders via the conf file(when accessing ftp) so that these folders will not be accessed by the users.

If it is proftpd, find out the proftpd.conf

Add the following to the proftpd.conf file:

Enter the directory path near to “<Directory >”, like “<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domainName/httpdocs/folder>”

After modification, restart the FTP.

PROBLEM

The update now option is missing from awstats page in control panel, even though the option allows users to update stats is checked in tweak settings of control panel.

RESOLUTION 

It is very easy to view webalizer stats directly without logging into cPanel. You can follow the steps below to access webalizer stats using the URL http://domain.com/stats/.

Now access webalizer using the URL:http://domain.com/stats/.

You can follow the steps below (in cPanel server) to view Awstats directly through browser.

1- Download awstats from http://awstats.sourceforge.net.

2- Uncompress it.

This can be uncompressed to domain’s cgi-bin folder.
That is to /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/awstats-6.7

3- Change the ownership to the username.

4- Copy the contents of awstats-6.7/wwwroot/cgi-bin to the domains cgi-bin folder.(this includes awstats.pl, awstats.model.conf, and the lang, lib and plugins sub-directories).

5- Copy the awstats-6.7/wwwroot/icon folder and its contents to the document root.

6- make sure that the first line of awstats.pl is #!/usr/bin/perl and edit it if necessary to the correct path to perl in server.

7- Copy awstats.model.conf file into a new file named awstats.domainname.conf. This file must be stored in the cgi-bin directory of the domain.

8- Edit this new config (awstats.domainname.conf) file.

1- Change LogFile value with full path to the web server log file.

2- Change DirIcons parameter to reflect relative path of icons directory.

3- Edit SiteDomain parameter with the name of the domain.

4- Change DirData to use the Statics file.

5- Set AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1, so stats can be updated through browser.

6- Save the config file.

9- Now try to access awstats using the URL :

10- Click on “Update now” to update the stats.

By default the Bing is not recognized as a search engine in AWStats 6.9 and older versions.

We can make it possible by doing some changes in the configuration file.

To add BING support, we have to edit search_engines.pm in the lib directory.

Just go through the steps

1. SSH into the server with root privilege.

2. Go to “usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/lib”

3. List the file “search_engines.pm” [ls -l search_engines.pm].

4. Before doing any change, take a backup of the file that need to edit.
[cp -p search_engines.pm search_engines.pm.`date +%F`]

5. To enable BING support, we need to edit the following sections as mentioned below:

@SearchEnginesSearchIDOrder_list1

Find
‘msn\.‘,
Insert this line right after that:
‘bing\.com‘,

%SearchEnginesHashID

Find
‘msn\.’,’msn’,
Insert this line right after that:
‘bing\.com’,’bing’,

%SearchEnginesKnownUrl

Find
‘msn’,’q=’,
Insert this line right after that :
‘bing’,’q=’,

%SearchEnginesHashLib

Find
‘msn’,'<a href=”http://search.msn.com/” title=”Search Engine Home Page [new window]” target=”_blank”>MSN Search</a>’,
Insert the following line right after that:
‘bing’,'<a href=”http://www.bing.com/” title=”Search Engine Home Page [new window]” target=”_blank”>Bing</a>’,

At last the AWStats search_engines.pm  has been updated in such a way to support Bing. Now the “Bing” visitors will be listed in the search engines section and will find their keywords under Search Keyphrases and Search Keywords.

Please note that the ‘Bing” visitors will be listed after the next awstats update. After the awstats update, you can verify the “Bing support” from the following sections.

Awstats [for the particular domain] >> Referrers: >> Origin >> Referring search engines
Awstats [for the particular domain] >> Referrers: >> Search >> Search Keyphrases & Search Keywords
