Use the following command:
hdparm -tT /dev/sda1
A good test result is this one:
# hdparm -tT /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
Timing cached reads: 21416 MB in 1.99 seconds = 10785.03 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 106 MB in 3.01 seconds = 35.16 MB/sec
You need to add the following lines in .htaccess
AuthUserFile /home/site-name/public_html/.htpasswd
AuthName "Login Area"
AuthType Basic
require user user-name
then create a .htpasswd file in /home/site-name/public_html/ with the following content:
user-name:faut1Lbo9LqK8NgU0
where “faut1Lbo9LqK8NgU0″ is the hash of the password. You can generate an has with this link: http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/
If you want to add MSSQL support in PHP5 cPanel CENTOS, follow the next steps:
1. First, we need to install FreeTDS
wget ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stable.tgz
tar -zxvf freetds-stable.tgz
cd freetds-*
2. Begin the configuration process:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --with-tdsver=8.0 --enable-msdblib --enable-dbmfix --with-gnu-ld
Note
Use tdsver=8.0 if you have SQL 2000/2005, tdsver=7.0 if you have SQL 7.0….
3. Compile FreeTDS
make && make install
4. Add the following line in the file /etc/ld.so.conf :
include /usr/local/freetds/lib
5. Run the following command
ldconfig -v
6. Add mssql to compile options of EasyApache
nano /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5
and add:
--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds
7. Run /scripts/easyapache or build it from WHM. You don’t need to select any additional options here. Just build it. Once the build completes, you should now be able to use PHP’s MSSQL connector functions.
Note
If you are running a 64bit OS and get an error about configure: error:
Could not find /usr/local/freetds/lib64/libsybdb.a|so
then you need to do the following:
ln -s /usr/local/freetds/lib/libsybdb.so.5 /usr/lib64/libsybdb.so.5
ln -s /usr/local/freetds/lib/libsybdb.so.5 /usr/local/freetds/lib64/libsybdb.so
ldconfig -v
If you want to use eAccelerator with cPanel and Apache, disable suPHP through easyApache or you will have “Cached Scripts 0″ in control panel of eAccelerator.
Same rule applies with APC.
If you try to install APC via WHM in cpanel and you get:
cpanel /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:18: error: pcre.h: No such file or directory
then you need to install PCRE-devel.
Follow the next step
Go to / and type
yum install pcre-devel
Now, go back to WHM and try to install again PCRE.
If you followed our howto’s on NGINX and cPanel here is another improvement you can do in /usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost.conf
# serve the app via fastcgi
location ~ \.php$ {
#fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-fastcgi.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_read_timeout 240;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}
If you have followed our previous tutorial on NGINX with Apache and cPanel you can use this setup also for Domain Access with Drupal.
To enable NGINX for *.domain.tld setup in Domain Access folow the next step:
nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost.conf
and add after the rest of proxy_redirect.
proxy_redirect http://*.domain.tld:81 http://*.domain.tld;
Take a coffee, this is going to be a long process.
Step 1: Configure Apache
Login to cPanel and start EasyApache. At the Exhaustive Option List choose Memcache. Compile Apache & Restart it.
Step 2: Memcache requires LibEvent
LibEvent can be downloaded from Monkey.org. Download the last 1.4.x available version.
wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
tar xvfz libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.14b-stable
./configure; make; make install
Step 3: Register LibEvent
nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libevent-i386.conf
Add the following text inside:
/usr/local/lib/
and at last, run:
ldconfig
Step 4: Compile and install Memcache (deamon)
Now you can install Memcache with the last version from their site.
wget http://memcached.googlecode.com/files/memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz
tar xvfz memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.4.5
./configure; make; make install
Step 5: Install PHP extension for Memcache
Normall, you should be able to do this from cPanel but i get a compiling error. So here is an alternative:
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-3.0.3.tgz
tar xvfz memcache-3.0.3.tgz
cd memcache-3.0.3
phpize
./configure
make
make install
Edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini
nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini
and copy paste at the end of the file:
extension=memcache.so
and at last, restart Apache:
service httpd restart
Step 6: Run Memcache as a deamon on the startup files
nano /etc/memcached.conf
and add inside:
#Memory a usar
-m 16
# default port
-p 11211
# user to run daemon nobody/apache/www-data
-u nobody
# only listen locally
-l 127.0.0.1
create the startup files
touch /etc/init.d/memcached
chmod +x /etc/init.d/memcached
and add inside it
nano /etc/init.d/memcached
the following text
then run:
touch /usr/local/bin/start-memcached
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/start-memcached
and add inside the following text
Now, let’s test the scripts:
/etc/init.d/memcached restart
and review if the conf file is parsed ok:
ps aux | grep memcached
and last, add memcached as autostart deamon
/sbin/chkconfig memcached on
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep memcached
it should output:
memcached 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Step 7: Test Memcache in PHP
Create the memcache.php file and add this text
You should have in the browser:
String to store in memcached.
Problem: If it happens that .htaccess file is ignored in your site folder do the following things.
Step 1.
Open httpd.conf
Step 2.
Find the directive
Step 3
Check that AllowOverride directive is set to “AllowOverride All”
Step 4
Restart apache to refresh the settings.
If you run Centos and you want to create a new vhost but you get the following error:
Error "Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address"
Then you need to issue:
# semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 6077
where 6077 is the port you want to have it opened for your vhost.
