Perl scripts are showing 404 error in cpanel

Issue: Sometimes, you get 404 error in the browser while executing perl script hosted under cPanel server.

Fix: The 404 errors may occur for perl script because of the domain doesn't have CGI enabled for the account. You can check the same using the following command:

[root@server]# grep HASCGI /var/cpanel/users/username*

HASCGI=0
^

In order to fix this issue for that user, you should be able to modify the HASCGI value in the file "/var/cpanel/users/username*" to 1 and then run /scripts/updateuserdomains and then /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf

P.S: Replace username with your actual user of the domain.

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>

HowTo: Enable extended logging for exim

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...
