Should I have to follow some extra steps to modify httpd.conf file? - apache

I have a dedicated server. Are there some special steps which I have to follow while editing httpd.conf file? I try to revert back the changes but problem is still same.

My problem is get solved. Actually the problem is that i have changed the WHM password and that's why it does not connect to my WHMCS and my IP get blocked in firewall. That is the reason i was not able to terminate any account through WHMCS panel. If anyone get the same problem then they first have to check Firewall for IP blocking.

Virtual server on virtualmin keeps redirecting to wrong website

I have created a virtual server say aaa.com but when I access the site (via editing my hosts file on Windows 7, cos I have a live aaa.com running on the Internet), it brings me to my other virtual server's site I have, like bbb.com
Why is that? I don't have any redirection running. Not in my script files (like html or php) and no redirection set under "Server Configurations" -> "Website Redirects" and none at "Services" -> "Click Configure Website" -> "Aliases and Redirects." The only script files I have are fresh new WordPress installation files (under home/aaa/public_html).
How do I fix this?
Mullazman is right (thanks!). I have just had this problem after enabling the SSL on the domain A. Then, all the domains in the same installation were pointing to A.
I fixed it by editing the file located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/A.conf and changing the first line:
Wrong line -> <VirtualHost A.B.C.D:80>
Correct line -> <VirtualHost *:80>
Had the same issue. For anyone interested it's because I had at the header of my sites-enables/aaa.com.conf which was picking up all requests and send them to the first host.
Change it to and it started directing traffic to the correct virtual hosts.
It was triggered when I enabled SSL on aaa.com, it for some reason re-wrote the config file to use IP based filtering not domain name
Try to delete browser cache with CTRL+F5,
then try again. If that doesn't help, check virtualhost configuration files -maybe there lies the problem.
The solution I found
I had the same problem ...
And I ended up with a lot of doubts ...
And I searched for a SOLUTION for this case, I hope to help ...
1 - Should the BIND have an external or internal IP in the domain? I use only one IP for all servers, and in BIND all domains are with external IP. (The question is whether it should be external or internal IP).
R = Yes, you must configure the internal IP in Virtualmin, prefer to edit the file. Only in localhost you should have 127.0.0.1
2 - Would NGINX have any configuration? How to remove IP and just put (listen *: 80) instead of (listen 288.218.198.981:80)
R = This configuration was changed but then I had problems with DNS and I returned to use the INTERNAL IP (not the localhost) ... Normally this IP starts as: 10.1xx.xx.xx
But which configuration would work in general?
Restart these steps ...
If you still have an error ...
Back up ... And in Virtualmin settings ...
Edit Virtual Server >> Activate Features >>
Uncheck NGINX, BIND, NGINX SSL.
He will ask for confirmation and click to confirm.
After this process is completed, return to the same option and reschedule ...
This will make it delete the old ones and put a new one.
(This works great for those who changed hosting and has old settings).
If you are importing a backup. Do not select the DNS and NGINX option ...
One tip is to create Virtual Server {your domain / site} First of all ...
And only then only import directories and databases ...
So you will not have problems with DNS and wrong redirects ...
Update
This also occurs when the SSL certificate is not issued correctly.
Folder permissions are incorrect.
Chmod 0755 folders
0644 Files
SOLUTION!!!
Cheap workaround let us say our domain is domain.xyz
Under the BindDNS Master Zone for domain.xyz create a cname record I believe it is listed in webmin as Name Alias and name it 000.domain.xyz
Under apache create a virtual server with the name 000.domain.xyz and make sure it has the same directory as domain.xyz
After this is done you are golden all your websites will come up as they should!
Is it proper well maybe not.
Does it work well like a charm of course otherwise I wouldn't be sharing for some reason the way the severs are listed it defaults to the first on the list well that'll fix that there should be a method of pinning the servers or doing something to prevent such a thing from happening what a pain in the rear I spent a full day dumbfounded thinking what in the world is going on I am losing my touch.
If this helps give a like if its wrong apologies all I know is that it works.
Read the thread.
Many folks claim this is an SSL thing.
Zero people have eluded to the true method of fixing it or the proper directions to do so or if they did I'm too blind to see it.
The guy below me commenting hrmmm... Yeah browser caches for my website didn't exist on my devices I tried them on to verify that was not the problem. But yes this is a typical problem with a lot of things indeed. It is the only reason I have several browsers on my PC actually for that reason. For a while there there were pages that chrome would function with that IE wouldn't or Firefox would best them both. Not to mention cache is always a pita its always usually one of my steps in troubleshooting any issues with web pages. I'll even try openDNS or other DNS servers.
But holy cats I can't believe how fast DNS just updates once you got things set it makes me wonder if there is a lot of fudge in propigation when you purchase hosting being "24 -48 hours" I think there is a lot of fudge in those numbers after my experiences trying to figure out what was causing the issue here. Some servers struggle yes but for the most part it was pretty instant for me.
In my case it happened after creating SSL certificate, I forgot to do:
Edit Virtual Server -> Enable Apache SSL Website

Virtualmin-Webmin Inaccessible when cloudflare is ON

The problem that i have is that the only way i can get to the login page (in a subdomain) is when i have cloudflare OFF for that record, the moment i turn on Cloudflare, it never show me nothing, after a while only shows an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error. ¿Can you please point me in the right direction?
solved by myself. For other facing the same problem: The problem is the 10000 port, Cloudflare in the free plan only allow the following ports:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169156-Which-ports-will-Cloudflare-work-with-
You have to change it in: Webmin -> Webmin configuration -> Ports and Addresses - change port, and restart Webmin; then enable Cloudflare, and you are ready to go.
Wow this fixed my issue! All my systems are on cloudflare, but none of the linux forums addressed this, they all mentioned editing host files and opening firewall ports.

Wrong hostname in cPanel notification emails

In our dedicated server even we run "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/set_hostname" from SSH as ROOT all notifications from the server has wrong hostname URL. The problem remains only in notification mails and sometimes HTTPS URLs (but this one is cause of local DNS records i guess).
We already did:
Changed hostname from WHM
Changed RDNS records
Fixed etc/hosts
Run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/set_hostname [hostname]
Fixed WHM api1
Reboot :)
Read StackOverflow
So can anyone offer a solution for this issue?
Editing wrong hostname values in one of the files Apache uses to build it's main configuration file "/var/cpanel/conf/apache/main" have solved the issue.
This solution had come from cPanel Customer Support. Hope it helps.
in my case I edit "/etc/hosts" and remove old host name attached to server ip.

How to solve prestashop infinite redirection loop under ssl?

Don't know, maybe someone had the same problem before..
I've got a correctly configured ssl certificate in my server.
If I activate prestashop ssl mode, then several pages generate an infinite redirection loop warning....
I really can't figure out why..
One thing I can say, is that in backoffice, clicking on the ssl acivation link, it does not activate it: it stays, silently, no rerrors, nothing.
So to activate ssl I had to manually change the relevant config variable on the DB.
This could maybe be a symptom of something wrong on the server?
Anyone had the same problem?
Thank you
Apart from upgrading to v1.6.0.11, the solution was to add SetEnv HTTPS On at the very top of .htaccess. That's because several prestashop functions rely on $_SERVER['HTTPS'] and/or $_SERVER['SSL'] vars to guess the urls. One of the most notable functions using them and itself used by many others is Tools::usingSecureMode(). Simply those vars weren't visible before adding SetEnv HTTPS On.
Anyway, this is not to be considered a universal solution, because for example in my local MAMP installation I didn't have the same issue: just worked. I only needed the tweak for the remote server.
Beside this, also note that in backoffice, unde url/seo prefs, I disabled the apache multiviews.
Hope it helps

Can only access computer IP 192.168.1.3 sometimes (localhost always works)

I have a problem, and maybe I don’t know what do search for, but I haven’t been able to find any threads with a similar problem. So I hope that any of you can point me in the right direction or suggest a solution.
I have a wampserver running on localhost, and I have created a database and a webpage that is using this. When I enter localhost/myproject in the browser the project is displayed. I need to access this site from another device on the same network though, and for that reason I need to use the IP Address of the computer hosting the server (this is 192.168.1.3).
The problem is, that the computer IP is only accessible sometimes. Meaning – if I enter 192.168.1.3/myproject in the browser window, sometimes it will display the webpage as it should while other times it won’t. It either gives me a message of something like “runtime out” or it just keeps trying but never does anything. I can always get access to the router using the IP 192.168.1.1, and here I see the computer 192.168.1.3 even when I can't connect to it.
A while ago I changed the Apache file httpd.conf and added “Allow from 192.168.1.3” under Directory. I did this because I got a message of “access denied” when entering the IP in the browser, and I found a thread posting this solution – which worked. I also created an exception for port 80 in the windows firewall in this process.
I don’t know what to do now though. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks.
Try to increase timeout intervals in your php.ini file
If sometimes it's works, and sometimes - no, problem in timeout
