You can use this commands –

lsof -i

Or

netstat –listen

Follow below steps to change smtp port on plesk server to 26.

>> cd /etc/xinetd.d
>> ls -l | grep smtp*
>> cat smtp_psa

service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /usr/sbin/rblsmtpd -r bl.spamcop.net /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
}

>> pico /etc/services

Add this line
smtp_psa_new 26/tcp mail
smtp_psa_new 26/udp mail

>> cp smtp_psa smtp_psa_new

Change the service line in the new file ’smtp_psa_new” to be this:

service smtp_psa_new
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /usr/sbin/rblsmtpd -r bl.spamcop.net /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
}

>> /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

And you should see smtp listening on ports 25, and 26:

>> netstat -anp | grep xinetd

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6989/xinetd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:26 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6989/xinetd

You are done ..

You can use this command on command prompt -

mysql -umysql_user -pmysqlpass

After successfully establishing in the hosting support business, ThinkSupport.net has now diversified its support operations by beginning to offer server management, proactive and administration services.

Ms. Preeti Sharma (HR – ThinkSupport) explained the new operations,

“Earlier ThinkSupport used to offer initial one time server setups. Due to the demand for our outsourced hosting support packages, we were not in a position where we could offer 24×7 server management services as an independent package.

But over the years now that we have gained reputable name in the market, we have managed to increase our highly qualified staff strength and hence wish to diversify our support options by offering Server Management services round the clock.

ThinkSupport is proud to already have acquired singups for server management from the existing client base even before announcing our new support options publicly. The high number of requests that we always received from our clients, encouraged us to now establish ourselves as a Server Management company.

Very soon, we are looking towards ThinkSupport to be the only established technical support company who will also establish itself as an established server management company as well.”

The company has updated their packages at http://www.thinksupport.net/plans.html

Further information about the server management packages can be found at http://www.thinksupport.net/servermanagement.html

Level 2 Dedicated techs : 2

(Techs are available in the following shifts :
8.00pm - 4.00am

All the above techs have a very good experience (min 2 years in case of level 2 tech and maximum 5 years in case of level3 tech) on both Linux and Windows hosting platform and all the major control panels such as whm/cpanel, Plesk, Directadmin, Helm, Hsphere, Ensim etc..

A brief description that would differentiate a Level2 tech with a Level3 tech :

Level 2 support can handle server related issues — including technical chats, fixing issues that need to login to server with ssh or Administrator privileges (for windows servers), installing thrid party scripts with the help of rpm, configuring remote and local backups, monitoring the servers and applying the fix for the respective problems.
Eg – Controlling spamming issues, server high load issues, minor dos attacks etc.

Level 3 support can handle all kind of server related issues that can be managed remotely. This includes everything right from compiling different applications like third party applications, kernel installation and upgrades, controlling dos attack and spamming issues on the server, troubleshooting failed services etc.
Eg – Fixing spamming and dos issues, installing and upgrading kernel from source, grsec patches, securing server with the help of third party scripts, load management etc. In short all mom and pop issues related to server.

You can interview the tech before deciding to go live with him and later have direct access to his personal IM to stay in touch during the entire shift. The number of above techs is subject to availability and will be assigned to companies who signup with us on first come first serve basis.

Learn how to remove the open_basedir restriction for a special directory that Plesk automatically creates for subdomains.

Steps to fix open_basedir restriction for subdomains

We assume that the domain name is $domain.com, the name of the subdomain is $subDomName. You have to replace these values with the appropriate values.

Our goal is to open access to the public website directory and the /tmp directory for the special subdirectory. The directories are mentioned in the php_admin_value open_basedir

1. Create a special vhost.conf file for the subdomain.
   Create /srv/www/vhosts/$domain.com/subdomains/$subDomName/conf/vhost.conf with the following content:

   <Directory /srv/www/vhosts/$domain.com/subdomains/
$subDomName/httpdocs>
<IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
php_admin_flag engine on
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
php_admin_value open_basedir “/srv/www/vhosts/$domain.com/httpdocs:/srv/www/vhosts/
$domain.com/subdomains/$subDomName/httpdocs:/tmp”
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_admin_flag engine on
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
php_admin_value open_basedir "/srv/www/vhosts/$domain.com/httpdocs:/srv/www/vhosts/
$domain.com/subdomains/$subDomName/httpdocs:/tmp”
</IfModule>
</Directory>

2. The next step is to apply the created configuration and recreate the apache configuration.
   Execute the following command on the command line to update the Plesk configuration:
   /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=domain.tld
3. Final and last step is to restart apache
   service httpd restart

That’s all, now your open_basedir restriction is gone away.

Learn how to configure Plesk to use one subdomain as catch-all subdomain for non-existing subdomains

In this article you’ll learn to configure Plesk that it uses one subdomain as catch-all for all non-existing subdomains.

Why would you need catch all subdomains

Maybe you have a few subdomains. But sometimes your visitors are accessing non-existing subdomains. So the best solution would be to either redirect them to your main website or at least show them a list of available pages.
Here comes the catch-all subdomain : There you can either configure Apache that it redirects all accesses to the main webpage (via 301, as written e.g. in this article Migrate domain names with .htaccess ) or just have a static (or dynamic, of course) page displayed to the user.

Step-by-step configuration

1. Create a subdomain z-WILDCARD in Plesk - of course in the admin section of the right domain.
   Why do we need this name? ’cause this entry should be the last entry in the list of subdomains, otherwise this “trick” will not work. So if you have a domain as e.g. zabalula , than you should maybe name the subdomain zzzz-WILDCARD or similar.
2. Add special configuration (catchall for all subdomains) to the vhosts.conf file of this subdomain.
   Normally it’s located in /srv/www/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/z-WILDCARD/conf/vhosts.conf. You have to create it - normally you need the root user to do this. Copy the following content into the file:
   ServerAlias *.domain.com
3. Apply the new configuration - recreate the Apache configuration. You have to run the tool websrvmng which is a Plesk tool that manages and creates the webserver configuration. Execute the following as root user.
   /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u --vhost-name=domain.com
4. Finally - restart Apache to load the new configuration, also as root.
   service httpd restart

That’s it - now you can try accessing non-existing subdomains as e.g. doesnotexists.domain.com and you should see the Plesk page displayed for new pages. Next step would be to e.g. add the 301 redirect or use a custom page.

Note: This has been tested with Plesk 8 and Suse Linux. Please drop a note if this also works on other version of Plesk / linux - or something did not work.
