Python supports CGI scripts on shared Linux servers.
To run Python scripts you should first make sure of the following steps:
Step 1: Add cgi-bin as cgi-dir in the control panel on the web services section for the domain.
Step 2: Add the .py extension for Python to run against CGI on the web services section for the domain.
Step 3: Place the script inside the cgi-bin directory and make sure that the cgi-bin directory and files in it have permission of 755 to run.
Step 4: Use the shebang at the top => #!/usr/bin/python and then write the script you want and then run it on the browser using the url :-
http://domainname/cgi-bin/python-script.py
That's it! Your Python script should work fine if you have followed the steps above.
Solution :-
1. Search for the domain in the H-Sphere control panel, if you are able to find it. The same domain can't be added in multiple accounts in the same cluster.
2. If you are not able to find the domain in the H-Sphere control panel and the domain being added is a service domain, make sure the client is choosing Register as a service domain option while signing up against the service plan.
3. If you are not able to find the domain in the H-Sphere control panel and the domain being added is not a service domain, then this is happening due to a ghost domain entry in the H-Sphere database that needs to be deleted from the H-Sphere database.
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a utility for network discovery and security auditing. It is useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.
Using Nmap you can check the ports and service which are open against that port and information about the operating system installed on the machine. Use the command below from the Linux machine to get such information about the target machine :-
nmap -O hostname or IP address
For Ex-
nmap -O 173.0.142.41
Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-07-09 20:39 CDT
Nmap scan report for mail5.gohsphere.com (173.0.142.41)
Host is up (0.00042s latency).

It really helps to know about the open ports of the server which you're using or to know about the services you can use on that port and also about the OS installed on the target machine.
How to change the timezone on Linux:
In the Linux machine, to setup the timezone we need to create a symlink as /etc/localtime to the time zone file in the system time zone directory. Follow the simple steps below to do that :-
Create a symlink to the file localtime in the etc directory as below :-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To set the timezone to US Central use the command below :-
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime
[[email protected]] date
Mon Jul 8 18:01:47 CDT 2013
OR if you want to set it to IST (Asia/Calcutta):-
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta /etc/localtime
[[email protected]] date
Tue Jul 9 04:31:35 IST 2013
To verify the timezone, use the 'date' command to verify that your timezone has changed.

To use Google Apps email, you need to create two CNAME records and appropriate MX records.
CNAME Records:
Name = googlefffggghhh12345
Data = google.com
Name = mail
Data = ghs.google.com
MX records:
Name = (leave it blank)
TTL = 86400 (default)
Priority = 1 (whatever appropriate)
Data = ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
After submission it will look like
domainname 86400 IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
For web redirects, you need to consult the Google Apps doc. We have seen users creating a CNAME record for www that is
Name = www
Data = ghs.google.com
Please consult the Google Apps doc before creating such records.

We've recently seen that there was a brute force botnet attack on the wp-admin page on a very large scale. If you sometime face such a situation on your Linux server, then you can stop such an attack by using the conf file of Apache i.e. httpd.conf with the rule below :-
=========================
<Files ~ "^\wp-admin">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
=========================
That's it!! This will stop every access request on the wp-admin page.
WordPress issue: While editing a post, a new post page opens instead of the old post page.
To fix this, just replace the old wp-admin folder with the fresh wp-admin folder.
Login to the reseller Control Panel

If you have your own Linux server/system that is sharable with other users and you want to keep your files secure so that no one else can read your files, then there is quite an easy way to do so using the vi editor by following the steps below :-
Step 1: Open your file using the vi editor, ex- vim xyz.txt
Step 2: Press ESC and then :X and press enter and then you will be prompted with "Enter encryption key:".
Step 3: Enter your encryption key or any password and press enter. After this, you will be asked to enter the same key in "Enter same key again:" and then asked to press enter.
Step 4: After this save the file using :wq! and then you'll exit from the editor.
You can see the garbage value of a file with the cat and vi commands. To view the contents of a file, open the file using Vim and it'll ask you for the encryption key, and then you should enter the key and you'll see the file contents.
Sometimes we see an error when we try to change a mailbox password through Plesk. So here are some steps by which the password can be reset manually in MailEnable.

Many times, it is necessary to turn off/disable Register globals for your site. You can turn off Register globals through the .htaccess file. So below are the steps to turn it off :-
Step 1: Create a .htaccess file under your domain or on your local computer and then upload it under the domain.
Step 2: Use the php directive below to turn Register globals off :-
php_flag register_globals off
Step 3: Make sure that the file is saved as .htaccess not .htaccess.txt, because htaccess is itself the extension of the file.
It's done! To check if Register globals has been turned off or not, just create an empty xyz.php file anywhere on your web root under the domain and write the following line:
<? php
phpinfo();
?>
Open this file in any web browser using http://domain/xyz.php and check out the value for register_globals on the page.
If the user is saying they have configured the correct details in configure.php
Solution :-
1. There are two configure.php files for osCommerce.
2. One is inside includes/local/configure.php
3. The other is inside includes/configure.php.
4. The one that is inside the includes/local folder takes precedence over the other.
There are times when you send email and get the error just like below :-
Remote host said: 553 Sorry, your envelope sender is in my badmailfrom list (#5.7.1)
This happens because an email id can send upto 100 emails per day/mailbox. If the email id goes past this limit, then it'll be automatically blocked and listed under the badmailfrom list on the server side. You'll have to update us about this issue.
To increase this limit and to lift this block, you'll have to fill up the mass-mailing form. After the mass-mail policy form has been filled up, the client can send 1500 emails per day but not more than 7000 emails per week.
You can find the form here:
http://support.jodohost.com/showthread.php?t=3708-mailing form
Many times Outlook has the issue of asking for your password again and again. In such a scenario, you need to take the following steps :-
1) Make sure you have checked the option Remember Password.
2) If you have installed some AntiVirus and it scans all the incoming/outgoing emails, try to deactivate it on email scanning and then check.
3) Try to configure a new account in Outlook and check if the problem still persists with the new setup.
4) This could happen due to the issue of SMTP blocking as well. So you'll need to contact us if you have already done the steps above.
To accomplish this task, we need to delete the existing database first and then re-create the same with the required encoding.
Steps:-
1. Login to the respective PostgreSQL server
2. su -l postgres
3. dropdb <databasename>
4. createdb -E UNICODE -O <databaseowner> <databasename>
5. Exit
Note :- If the database contains data, it will be lost. So, it is advisable to take the backup of the database before deletion. After the creation of the database with the required encoding, data can be restored from the backup.
Error Code: 1142 while Restoring the database
