My whm works fine. But when i try to login into cpanel itself i get the infamous 404 error.

Things ive did
Install apf
Installed chkrootkit
tripwire
and a few other security steps

All the ports i want open are set right including cpanel ports.

Anyone ever have this problem?

Thanks

Oh and i installed my own name servers by the book too and they work.

https://www.domain.com:2083

gives you 404?

Yes it does and so does http://domain:2082

I did a gracefull reboot to see if it would help but it didnt.

anyone with any tips or had this occur on their server?

try restarting cpanel (SSH)

http://www.cpanel.net/docs/whm/FAQ.htm

Use netstat to see if anything is already bound to 2082, 2083, as a last resort. That or try service cpanel3 restart about 5 or 6 times in a row. If all else fails put in a Cpanel support ticket, and be prepared to wait :o

Thanks HostDime that worked seems when i transfered my accounts over from my reseller account they came over to my server and cpanel didnt attach themes to the user accounts restarting cpanel a few time got it to kick in and it works good now.

Another question i was wondering is why is it when i create a user account youc ant access it by http://hostname/~username

DO you have to set that up specialy?

Thanks

Sounds like Bandwidth protection is enabled. Run /scripts/easyapache, choose 6, and make sure 'Bandwidth Leech Protection' isnt enabled. Users can bypass Cpanels limits by using ip/~user, and when it gets abused, you run Bandwidth leech protection.

Kris you have been most helpful and i cant thank you enough. One more question and im done. lol im good at securing a server but this cpanel stuff is new.

My clients .cgi scripts will not change from 700 and they arnt allowed to edit them just keeps sayign they are a executable.
Any clues?

If they will not CHMOD from FTP, go into ssh, and find the file say /home/jon/script.cgi do:


chmod 755 /home/jon/script.cgi

That is Read Exec for Group and users, read write exec for Owner.

If that doesnt work, refresh the script with the error like 10 times, then do

tail -10 /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log and show me the exact error.

Oh i dont want to do that manualy for each script. Id be there all night lol. There is something that isnt letting cpanel read the .cgi right. Well if i dont find anything ill try that.

Thanks again
