I am having huge probs at the moment with the following:

i am unable to make backups, submitted a tt & this is what i've received:


i have also received this 4 times within the last 3 hours:



and (there's more!) this has dropped in my mailbox 4 times today:



Please can someone offer some advice?

The first thing is about cpanel putting sites on the backup hard disk so you need to remove them first before you can use it for backup.

Cpanel is nice enought to increase the max clients as needed. That just means that the server is having lots of connections and just needs to be increased. Cpanel is pretty good about that and you can just watch as you get more people connecting.

As far as apache getting killed check /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/error_logs and see what is causing it.

Thanks

so i don't need to worry about the maxclients thing then?

about the backups, what exactly do i need to do?
i'm new to all this and start to worry when things go wrong!!

The maxclients are fine where they are.


As for the backup...well thats a totaly different problem. Cpanel has this "feature" where if you have /home and /home2 it adds sites to the hard disk that has the most free space. Well you happen to have that setup so it has put some sites in both places. The problem is you wanted home2 to be used for backup.... Anyways it looks like you will have to follow there directions and move all of the sites off /home2 if you wish to use all of the space for backup.

ok, i've moved the sites from /home2

how & where do i do the rest?

umount /home2
Then look in /etc/fsctab where home2 is mounted and change that to say /backup

Now mount /backup
You should be ready to go to use the /backup partition!
