Here is the code you have to put into your named.conf file:

acl trusted {
11.22.33.44;
11.22.33.45;
11.22.33.46;
127.0.0.1;
};

options {
directory /var/named;
version not currently available;
allow-recursion { trusted; };
allow-notify { trusted; };
allow-transfer { trusted; };
};

Then, the last account, around 3GB in size. I tried with and without the option “Do not compress transfers”, connecting to different IP’s, nothing worked, it always stopped at the same place:

Attempting to copy username from source-ipPackaging the account...

pkgacct started.pkgacct version 6.0 - running with uid 0

using time::hires for speedups

We will be splitting the archive!!

Using the single archive method (/home/cpmove-username.tar.gz)!

Transfer Error

The remote server didn't report a correct md5sum of the archive. Please ensure you selected the correct type of remote server.

How I made the transfer then work manually:

1. SSH as root to source (old) server
2. Run /scripts/pkgacct username (replace username with the account’s username)
3. Make sure the pkgacct finished, it ends with: md5sum is: xxxx, you will have a file called /home/cpmove-username.tar.gz
4. scp file to new server: scp /home/cpmove-username.tar.gz root@ip-of-new-server:/home/cpmove-username.tar.gz
5. Login to whm on the new server (as root)
6. Click on “Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file”
7. You will find under “Possible cpmove archives found:”the file you just copied.
8. Enter the username after “Enter the username for the account you wish to restore:” and click Restore
9. That’s it, you are done.

I’m not really sure why it stopped after the logfiles, it executes the same script when you make the transfer from an other server or when call the script in a shell.

I added all IPs to the server, entered my nameservers under Basic cPanel/WHM Setup, and got a popup saying “Sorry, you are out of ips to assign as nameservers”. The IP Pool said that I have three free IP’s. What now? Searching around in google and forums.cpanel.net didn’t helped.

The solution is quite simple, edit the file /etc/nameserverips and make the following entries:
IP=0
eg. 192.168.0.1=0
for each IP (except the servers main IP) .

You can go back to WHM and now everything works. Could by that this is a bug in WHM/cPanel 11 that they don’t add those entries when you assign a new IP.

I had a while back a search for control panels and repeated this search this weekend again, found more or less the same software as the last time.

• RavenCore looks like a quite active project. Something I liked aside that the site looks nice is that there is a road map so you have an idea which features you can expect in the future.
• IPSConfig is an other active project
• VHCS looks active as well, however there are not so many news for the last month
• web://cp looks at the first impression dead, the latest news is from 2005. After some site-surfing I found the dev blog which is still updated so it the project is still alive.

If I find some time I will have a deeper look into those control panels and maybe write some reviews. I know there are others like Webmin which I don’t like and don’t listen here, if you know some others write a comment.

I had a look through the scripts and modified one to do this for all parked domain if there is no forwarding set up yet.

Depending on your needs you can change it to run just for one account (set $user instead of looping through /var/cpanel/users). If you often add domains and don’t want to run the script manually just put it in a cron job.

Here the script:


#!/usr/bin/perl
my(%PDLIST);
opendir(CPU,"/var/cpanel/users");
@CPUS=readdir(CPU);
closedir(CPU);
foreach my $user (@CPUS) {
my $dns;
my @PD;
if (-f "/var/cpanel/users/$user") {
open(CP,"/var/cpanel/users/$user");
while(<CP>) {
if (/^DNS=(\S+)/) { $dns=$1; }
elsif (/^DNS\d+=(\S+)/) { push(@PD,$1); }
}
close(CP);
foreach my $pd (@PD) {
my $issub = 0;
if ($pd =~ /\.${dns}$/) {$issub=1;}
foreach my $pdtest (@PD) {
next if ($pdtest eq $pd);
if ($pd =~ /\.${pdtest}$/) { $issub=1; }
}
if (!$issub) {
$PDLIST{$dns}{$pd} = 1;
next if $pd eq $dns;
#print $pd . "\t->\t" . $dns . "\n";
if (-s "/etc/vdomainaliases/$pd" > 0) {
print $pd . "\t->\t" . $dns . " exists\n";
} else {
print $pd . "\t->\t" . $dns . " no entry\n";
system("echo \"$pd: $dns\" > /etc/vdomainaliases/$pd");
#last;
}
}
}
}
}


Some good ones are:

• Wordtracker: Generates up to 100 related keywords for your starting keyword, excludes adult keywords: link
• Digitalpoint has a tol which alows you to enter a keyword, choose your traget market and then generates you a two list, one with the searches per day from Wordtracker, the other one with searches per day from Overture: link
• Keyworddiscovery offers a paid and a free service. They get there keyword from search statistics from over 180 search engines world wide, the output of the free one doesn’t look that nice, but you anyway only care about the content: link
• Vurr has an interesting tool, it’s more or less an Overture clone, however they use the leeked AOL search engin data from spring 2006, older data but if you don’t have a “trendy” website this could give you some hints: link
• Microsoft has a whole lot of tools including adWriter, which automatically generates text ads for an input URL, Acronym Resolution, Keyword Mutation Detection to detect frequent misspellings or alternative spellings, Search Funnels, and much more: link
• Google has a keyword variation tool as well as a site related keyword extractor from any give URL: link
• Webconfs have a keyword rich domain name suggestions tool, you enter a keyword, select the extensions you are interested in and you will be presented with a list domain names which include this keyword and it displays you if the domain is free to register or not: link
• Overture is one of the best known search engin keyword analyzers, enter a keyword and get the number of searches for this keyword as well as relevante keywords (based on Yahoo searches): link
• Keyword Discovery have a free alternative to Overture which has the data of 200 different search engins, so it gives you deeper output: link

I’m sure there are many more tools out there, feel free to write a comment with links to other tools.
