Installing PostGreSQL on a Cpanel server

EZ linux — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:19:27 +0000

You can install PostgreSQL by running the following command:

# /scripts/installpostgres

Note that after you install PostgreSQL, you will need to rebuild both the internal PHP used by phpPgAdmin, and the PHP used for your sites (they are two different installations). You can do this by running *both* of these commands:

# /scripts/easyapache –build
# /scripts/makecpphp

If you do not run *both* of the above commands *after* running /scripts/installpostgres, your PHP applications and phpPgAdmin will not be able to interact with PostgreSQL.

How to clean out a cpanel servers’s mail queue by command line

EZ linux — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:59:09 +0000

First stop exim in your WHM under services, just unclick any exim services running and save it.

Then open you ssh client and use this code:

/usr/sbin/exiqgrep -i | xargs /usr/sbin/exim -Mrm

Then restart exim.

This is much better then the mail queue system cpanel has installed, about 4 years (2009) they changed it and it’s just horrible now.

But thanks to the nice little code you can do it much faster from ssh.

magic qoutes

EZ linux — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:01:49 +0000

This will solve the magic quotes compatibility when you create a local php.ini file.

If you can’t turn off magic quotes using the htaccess file just:

Create a text file
Rename it to ‘php.ini’

Add the lines

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

Save it to the directory/ies in which your scripts are executing.

We suggest just adding it to the public_html folder in case your server has restrictions on custom php.ini files in other locations.

Note: Most cpanel based server will work with this.
