Local Server
rsync -avzp /source-address/* /destination-address/

Remote Server
rsync -avzp -e ‘ssh -p portnumber’ /source-address/* root@ipaddress:/destination-address/

*Note*
source-address = the source of the folder/files eg:
/home/test/

destination-address = the destination to sync the files from the source eg:
/home/robot/

portnumber = the ssh port number, default is:
22

ipaddress = the ip address of the destination server of the hosname eg:
202.111.111.202 or yahoo.domain.com

Lastly, don’t forget to change the file ownership, example like below:
chown username.username *

============================================
================== Edit 1 ===================
============================================

If you noticed, some files won’t be copied over using the Rsync, especially like the .htaccess file. As an alternative you can use this coding to copy those special file like example below:
scp -P portnumber /home/username/public_html/.htaccess root@ipaddress:/home/username/public_html/

If a folder that can’t be transfered, you can use as below, but make sure to create a folder at server B also, for example as below:
scp -P portnumber /home/username/public_html/.smileys/* root@ipaddress:/home/username/public_html/.smileys/

Don’t forget to change the ownership again.

============================================
================== Edit 2 ===================
============================================

When moving website that have a database, make sure to properly configure the data base when transferring it.

Let say now our current situation, server A is transferring to server B. After the files have been transferred to server B, log into server A PhpMyAdmin and find the account name.

Click to open the database (_testdb).
Username
|
|—-_testdb

Click Export
Select compression = gzipped
Click Go

Then just save it any place in your pc.

Ok then, next is a bit tricky part. Go to server B, and the folder where you upload the file and try to open:
nano configuration.php

The content of the file as below:
$mosConfig_offline = ’0′;
$mosConfig_host = ‘localhost’;
$mosConfig_user = ‘username_testdb’;
$mosConfig_password = ‘xxxxx’;
$mosConfig_db = ‘username_testdb’;
$mosConfig_dbprefix = ‘mos_’;
$mosConfig_absolute_path = ‘/home/username/public_html/’;
$mosConfig_live_site = ‘http://domain.com’;
$mosConfig_sitename = ‘Testing Website’;
$mosConfig_shownoauth = ’0′;
$mosConfig_useractivation = ’1′;
$mosConfig_uniquemail = ’1′;
$mosConfig_usecaptcha = ’0′;
$mosConfig_offline_message = ‘This site is down for maintenance.<br /> Please check back again soon.’;
$mosConfig_error_message = ‘This site is temporarily unavailable.<br /> Please notify the System Administrator’;
$mosConfig_debug = ’0′;
$mosConfig_lifetime = ’900′;
$mosConfig_MetaDesc = ‘This Software Site Is Under Serverfreak’;
$mosConfig_MetaKeys = ”;
$mosConfig_MetaAuthor = ’1′;
$mosConfig_MetaTitle = ’1′;
$mosConfig_lang = ‘english’;
$mosConfig_locale = ‘en’;
$mosConfig_charset = ‘utf-8′;
$mosConfig_locale_debug = ’0′;
$mosConfig_locale_use_gettext = ’0′;
$mosConfig_offset = ’0′;
$mosConfig_hideAuthor = ’1′;
$mosConfig_hideCreateDate = ’1′;
$mosConfig_hideModifyDate = ’1′;
$mosConfig_hidePdf = ’0′;
$mosConfig_hidePrint = ’0′;
$mosConfig_hideEmail = ’0′;
$mosConfig_enable_log_items = ’0′;
$mosConfig_enable_log_searches = ’0′;
$mosConfig_enable_stats = ’0′;
$mosConfig_sef = ’0′;
$mosConfig_vote = ’0′;
$mosConfig_gzip = ’0′;
$mosConfig_multipage_toc = ’1′;
$mosConfig_allowUserRegistration = ’0′;
$mosConfig_link_titles = ’0′;
$mosConfig_error_reporting = ‘-1′;
$mosConfig_register_globals = ’1′;
$mosConfig_list_limit = ’50′;
$mosConfig_caching = ’0′;
$mosConfig_cachepath = ‘/home/username/public_html/cache’;
$mosConfig_cachetime = ’900′;
$mosConfig_mailer = ‘mail’;
$mosConfig_mailfrom = ‘abc@domain.com’;
$mosConfig_fromname = ”;
$mosConfig_sendmail = ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail’;
$mosConfig_smtpauth = ’0′;
$mosConfig_smtpuser = ”;
$mosConfig_smtppass = ”;
$mosConfig_smtphost = ‘localhost’;
$mosConfig_back_button = ’0′;
$mosConfig_item_navigation = ’0′;
$mosConfig_secret = ‘xxxxxx’;
$mosConfig_pagetitles = ’1′;
$mosConfig_readmore = ’1′;
$mosConfig_hits = ’1′;
$mosConfig_icons = ’1′;
$mosConfig_favicon = ‘favicon.ico’;
$mosConfig_fileperms = ”;
$mosConfig_dirperms = ”;
$mosConfig_mbf_content = ’0′;
$mosConfig_helpurl = ‘http://docs.mambo-foundation.org’;

The parts I bold above are the part you need to pay attention.
$mosConfig_user = ‘username_testdb’;
$mosConfig_password = ‘xxxxx’;
$mosConfig_db = ‘username_testdb’;
$mosConfig_absolute_path = ‘/home/username/public_html/’;
$mosConfig_cachepath = ‘/home/username/public_html/cache’;

So now assuming that our database name and the user is username_testdb, while the password is xxxxx

Go to the the account’s cPanel. Under Database, select the MySQL Databases. Under Create New Database, fill in the BOLD part as below:
New Database:   username_testdb
and then click the Create Database button.

Next, go to the Add New User, then fill in as below:
Username:username_testdb
Password:xxxxx
Password (Again):xxxxx
Click Create User button afterward.

Then, go to Add User To Database section, select as below:
User: username_testdb
Database: username_testdb
and click on the Add button.
It will bring to a new page. This page is quite important. Make sure to Tick the ALL PRIVILEGES checkbox and then click the Make Changes button.

============================================
==================== End ====================
============================================

Ok then, the database part is finished. Make sure to test run and check whether got any error message or not. By the way, this were all tested in a cPanel-based hosting. The Rsync and the scp part will work on any hosting, but the database part might be slightly different.

Happy Trails.

Note: This same procedure also can be applied with any other supported modules in Direct Admin. Just type “./build” to list out the things that you are able to update.

First, go to this folder:
/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild

Then modify the option.conf:
nano options.conf

Try to find this string:
php5_ver=

In my case, my current php is 5.2 and i need to recompile it to 5.3, so my current option.conf should looks like this:
php5_ver=5.2

and modified to this:
php5_ver=5.3

Save and close it.

Next, to download the updated version, type:
./build update

After the download is done, then finally we can start compiling by typing this:
./build php n

The compiling process should take a while. But just in case you ran into this kind of error:
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
make: *** [ext/date/lib/tm2unixtime.lo] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs….
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
make: *** [ext/date/lib/parse_tz.lo] Error 1
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
make: *** [ext/date/lib/parse_date.lo] Error 1

So you are running out of RAM. Make sure too add enough RAM for the process to proceed.

Finally when finished, it will restart the httpd by itself. You can check the php version by typing “php -v” and the result as below will appear:
Before:
[root@server custombuild]# php -v
PHP 5.2.13 (cli) (built: Jul  7 2010 01:09:45)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

and after:
[root@server custombuild]# php -v
PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Jul  8 2010 07:36:44)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

Happy compiling.

vi /etc/exim.conf

Try to find “daemon_smtp_ports” and then you may add/edit the line to look like this:
25 : 587 : 26

The above means the email will pass through only on port 25, 26, and 587

Save and close. Restart Exim.

1) Disable “exim on another port” in WHM -> Service Manager
2) Go to WHM-> Exim Configuration Editor -> Advanced Editor -> at the first text box, add in “daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 26 : 587″ without “”.
3) Save.

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html

where “username” is your cPanel username. You will need to remove php_value and php_flag from ALL .htaccess files you may have. However, you only need to add the suPHP_ConfigPath line in the .htaccess file in your public_html directory only.

Please note that you will need to change the format of your php_value and php_flag lines into the php.ini format

find /home/username/public_html/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

find /home/username/public_html/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Repace with the real username in the system.

Download: Opera v9.60

Release Notes

Opera 9.6 is a recommended security and stability upgrade. See the Security section.

A separate changelog listing changes since Opera 9.6 Beta 1 is available.

New and improved features in Opera 9.6

Opera Link

Custom search engines and typed history (typed history is only the history you explicitly type or select from the address bar) are now joining bookmarks, notes, personal bar and Speed Dial in Opera Link.

Opera Mail

Feed Preview

Now you can preview an RSS/Atom feed before subscribing.

Follow/Ignore threads and contacts

Follow and Ignore are new features for users that receive numerous messages. It makes it easier to dismiss unimportant messages and easier to recognise important messages.

• Activate this feature by selecting Follow/Ignore in the email context menu (or click the message subject header), then select either Follow Thread or Ignore Thread.
• Also, you can click the names in the From or To headers to enable the following or ignoring of contacts.

Go To Thread

You can now also use “Go to thread” which means that you can view only the messages from that thread. This is useful for those that employ flat view.

Low Bandwidth Mode

Low Bandwidth Mode is a setting on mail accounts that makes Opera Mail use as little bandwidth as possible.

• For IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): Opera will only synchronise new messages and it will not fetch message attachments unless requested
• For POP (Post Office Protocol): Opera will not fetch more than the first 100 lines of a message unless requested

Opera Scroll Marker

The new Opera Scroll Marker makes it easier to continue reading when you scroll through a Web page. At the end of the page it will indicate the previous position of the bottom of the screen so you can easily see where to continue reading.

Enable Opera Scroll Marker in the Preferences dialog box. Navigate to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Browsing > Show scroll marker (check box).

• Check the box to enable Opera Scroll Marker
• Leave the box unchecked (default) to keep it disabled

Using the opera:config Preferences Editor opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableScrollMarker, you can also set Opera Scroll Marker to show every time you scroll less than a full page down or up. The options in the drop-down menu are:

• 0 — off
• 1 — show when reaching the bottom or top of the page
• 2 — always show when scrolling
