Error: iptables v1.3.5: can’t initialize iptables table `nat’: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

Sometimes you get the following error while configuring “Port forwarding” rules” in a VPS:

~~~~~~~
Error: iptables v1.3.5: can’t initialize iptables table `nat’: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
~~~~~~~

Fix:

You need to run the following command to fix the issue:

~~~~~~~
vzctl set <VPS_ID> –-iptables “iptable_nat iptable_filter iptable_mangle ip_conntrack ipt_conntrack ipt_REDIRECT ipt_REJECT ipt_multiport ipt_helper ipt_LOG ipt_state” –-save
~~~~~~~

P.S:- Replace <VPS_ID> to your actual VPS id.

The issue should be fixed now. :)

SVN: File remains in conflict

This error occurs when you didn't update the SVN and try to commit changes or, someone has made changes to this file that are conflicting with your changes. There are two ways to handle this situation. Either, you can revert back the changes you want to commit and then, update the SVN and after that make the changes again and commit. The other way is, you need to resolve the conflicted files one by one. You can keep all the conflicted files in a folder and resolved it at once. >> Revert the changes steps: svn revert . -R svn up >> Resolve the conflicted files: svn resolved <file_name>

When troubleshooting mail or attempting to discover the source of spam originating from your server, it is often useful to enable extended Exim logging. You can enable extended logging for exim though your shell prompt as well as through WHM interface. I am giving the steps for both ways one by one: 1. Through shell prompt: 1. Open exim.conf 2) Find this: hostlist auth_relay_hosts = * 3) After hostlist auth_relay_hosts = * add the following: log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connection_reject +delay_delivery +delivery_size +dnslist_defer +incoming_interface +incoming_port +lost_incoming_connection +queue_run +received_sender +received_recipients +retry_defer +sender_on_delivery +size_reject +skip_delivery +smtp_confirmation +smtp_connection +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error +subject +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn 4) The final result should look like this hostlist auth_relay_hosts = * log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connecti...
