  • Why doesnt my server send emails with postfix from php?

    Quote from c0urier


    The first postgrey error is probably related to this?

    Thanks. The postgrey error was fixed by the bugfix.


    However how do I go about fixing the bounce due to unknown user issue?

  • Why doesnt my server send emails with postfix from php?

    After a fresh install of Debian 6 minimal and i-mscp, I've transitioned my sites to this server.


    While trying a php form to send email, I found that my server was not sending out any email. Wordpress notifications werent being received.


    I tried the following command in bash:


    Code
    1. echo "this is the body" | mail -s "this is the subject" "myname@mydomain.com"

    How can I check what's wrong?

  • Upgrade issue


    I confess that I did not look at the status before pulling. My mistake. The last time I checked was a couple of days ago, when it showed the status "Stabilization period". I assumed that it was still at that.


    I appreciate the dynamic nature of this kind of development. However at the moment, four of my sites are down, with no way to upgrade or uninstall. Could you perhaps give me an outline a manual uninstallation procedure so that I can redo the installation on one of the RC versions?
    [hr]
    I managed to uninstall it after manually correcting at least 5 different perl syntax errors in the uninstall script(s). Unfortunately, by the time I finished the uninstallation, the directory /var/www/imscp was removed by the script, so I dont have documentation of the errors which I corrected.


    Anyway, there are a lot of double $ signs in the scripts, and one occasion where a local variable was not declared with "my". I have fixed these and managed to uninstall the git master. I'll install an RC version on my site, and try to curb my tendency to get the "latest" one. :D

  • Upgrade issue

    I tried to upgrade from previous git master to current git master.


    I did a git pull followed by perl imscp-autoinstall. The installation failed with the following error:


    Now, everything in the domain control panel shows "Modification in progress". I'm unable to edit anything.

  • Installing a SSL certificate on a domain and using Wordpress

    I have tried the following to install an SSL certificate on one of my domains. I have copied the default-ssl file from /etc/apache2/sites-available to /etc/apache2/sites-available/vettathu.com.conf, and made the following changes so ultimately it reads as:

This violates # the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use # this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where # mod_ssl sends the close notify alert. # o ssl-accurate-shutdown: # This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a # SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify # alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in # practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use # this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation # works correctly. # Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP # keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable # keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this. # Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround # their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and # "force-response-1.0" for this. BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown</VirtualHost></IfModule>


    The certificates from StartSSL have been copied to the locations corresponding to the following directives:
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificates/ssl.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certificates/ssl.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/certificates/sub.class1.server.ca.pem


    Now, on restarting the server and accessing https://vettathu.com, I get the following error:


    Code
    1. You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.


    The site is a wordpress multisite install, and .htaccess is as follows:


    Code
    1. RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]# uploaded filesRewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -dRewriteRule ^ - [L]RewriteRule . index.php [L]


    If instead of the wordpress index.php, I create a index.html, https://vettathu.com/index.html loads correctly with SSL. Could someone guide me on how to fix the Wordpress site with SSL?

  • Introducing Backup master - A complete bash based solution to backup/restore tasks

    Quote from o-leary


    Secondly I would like to know if you are likely to implement something to do this on a per user basis in the future? The ability to move domains between servers and import/export would surely be welcomed by all. And for the purposes of my above mentioned hosting system it would mean distributing the mirroring tasks over time so the servers are not overloaded.


    Hi,
    If by making it per user, you mean you want it to make seperate backups for each user-i.e it should backup only his files and databases per backup task, it should be possible. At the moment, the only thing needed is to modify fullbackup.conf with the subdirectory (corresponding to the main domain of the user), and also add the database names of other users, in the function which excludes databases from backup.


    If you need this to be automated, I'll need to implement a system to read the main directory of the user, and the database allocation from imcp database. Possible, but requires me taking a deeper look at the organization of i-mscp database. Managing a single user server, it wasnt important for me. But it can be done. Maybe later.

  • Introducing Backup master - A complete bash based solution to backup/restore tasks

    Backup Master is a bash based script which works alongside the i-mscp system (in that it is tweaked to work with the imscp database and paths), but silently in the background. It can backup in a single command line option, all the existing mysql databases, and the entire virtual server (customizable) to the server. It can optionally transfer the backups to a remote server of your choice-both sftp and ftp protocols are accepted. ftp has batch upload/download/mirror facility.



    The script uses a custom csv based database to keep track of the backup files, and these are called task files. The collection of task files, has details regarding all the files and databases backed up, and these are stored with the date and time of backups in the filename. These can be restored at will.


    The script has command line options to make it useful as cronjobs.


    Everything is automated. At the end of the process, you will receive an email notification of the scheduled job done.


    Options and sensitive information are seperated from the main script. All options are heavily customizable.


    The script is GPL3, and suggestions, improvements, critiques are welcome. It is in beta. At the moment, the script will not touch the imscp tables and are not made to work with the LOCK on SQL system databases. So be prepared to change your imscp user passwords after a restore.


    Download Link: https://bitbucket.org/droidzone/backupmaster


    Installation:

    Code
    1. git clone git@bitbucket.org:droidzone/backupmaster.git


    Now copy all the files to a location in your path, and modify fullbackup.conf and fullbackup.dat as per your customized information. [/size]


    Run it with:

    How is this greylisting controlled/configured, and how is possible to relax the rules to get email properly?


    Edit:
    Ok, I figured it out myself.


    Apparently the greylisting is controlled by a service called postgrey. It is started by postfix.


    To disable postgrey, comment out the consecutive lines from /etc/postfix/main.cf:


    Code
    1. check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:12525,
    2. check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023,


    Restart postfix:
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart


    And mail starts arriving fast now.
    I know postgrey is a spam protection feature. However I dont need it. :)

  • [DEBIAN] How to properly remove sendmail completely

    Quote from fluser


    Can you post the details of:
    aptitude search sendmail


    Here it is:


    [hr]
    It seemed to have been 'libmail-sendmail-perl'


    Doing a 'apt-get remove sendmail*' seems to have done the trick


    Edit2: I also had to unset the exec permission on the sendmail startup file in /etc/init.d/sendmail
