Centos 7 Kernel Solution on Xenserver VPS

Solution to Centos 7 default kernel updates, not supported on Xenserver VPS.

If you have installed Centos 7 on Xenserver VPS, and have tried upgrading Kernel on that vps, the vps may not come up again, post reboot.

The solution to this problem is, booting the Centos 7 back in one of the old kernels available. Once booted, install Elrepo kernel on Centos 7 vps using below procedure :

rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
yum –enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml
grub2-set-default 0
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

This will install Elrepo kernel on your Centos 7 VPS on Xenserver, which is stable and good. You can then reboot your vps into new kernel.

How to fix php 7.2 503 Service Unavailable Litespeed Error

Thanks to EA4 (EasyApache 4), WHM cPanel now allows multiple php versions to be installed simultaneously. Here is a peculiar example of getting php 7.2 enabled on a cpanel server with LiteSpeed and grsec kernel enabled on server.

Assumption: Here we are assuming a scenario where we have WHM cPanel server installed on Centos 6 and configured with ASL (Atomic Secured Linux) available from Atomicorp.com.

When ASL is enabled, server will be booted into ASL kernel powered by grsecurity modules and rules.

The procedure to enable php 7.2 from WHM would be to login to WHM -> EasyApache 4 -> Customize – PHP versions -> Enable 7.2

Once PHP 7.2 is enabled on server, you will need to enable in Litespeed. To do so, login to Litespeed web interface by visiting your server url with port 7080

Once logged in login to Configuration -> Server -> External App -> Add

Then you will need to add Script Handler so click on Script Handler -> Add. Make sure to configure handler type as “LiteSpeed SAPI” and handler name as “[Server Level]: lsphp72”

Save and restart LiteSpeed web server. Now when you configure php 7.2 for a particular account from WHM -> MultiPHP Manager and access the website in browser, you will notice error “503 Service Unavailable, Please try again later”

On debugging you will notice logs in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_logs as follows:

The error is likely due to the fact that the grsec kernel which is installed on server from ASL, is assuming php 7.2 as insecure and hence, restricting it. This means that PHP is trying to violate the kernels memory protection features.  Unfortunately, PHP 7 needs to operate in this insecure manner.  To allow PHP to operate this way, follow the steps below:

The solution here is to configure the system to allow php to run insecurely. This can be achieved by :

  • Stopping Litespeed webserver on the server using command:

cd /usr/local/lsws/bin

./lswsctrl stop

  • Then give the command:

paxctl -m /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/lsphp

  • If you receive error similar to “file /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/lsphp does not have a PT_PAX_FLAGS program header, try conversion” then try following solution

paxctl -c /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/lsphp

  • and finally restart Litespeed webserver using command:

./lswsctrl restart

Accessing your website now configured with php 7.2 version on a cPanel server with Litespeed and ASL (Automic Secure Linuc) or grsec kernel should now work sucessfully.

 

 

Solution to Centos 6 / Centos 7 VM not booting on Citrix Xenserver

Solution to Centos 6 or Centos 7 vm not booting on Citrix Xenserver after kernel update

With latest kernel update, Centos 6 and Centos 7 vm’s on Citrix Xenserver are found not booting when rebooted.

After installing the latest updates (including the latest kernel), neither boots. The virtual serial consoles provided by the VM services show nothing.

As an alternative the only solution is

  1. to manually boot the affected VM into old kernel

  2. Or to install Centos Plus kernel

  3. Or simply do not update kernels on Centos 6 /  Centos 7 vm’s

This issue is apparently something to do with the new code for the “meltdown” vulnerability and is currently failing on both el6 and el7 latest kernels.

This is being tracked in https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=14336

Solution :

If you have already updated the kernel then manually configure grub to boot into old kernel

OR

You can try installing Centos Plus kernel as follows:

  1. Edit the following file:

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

2) Change the following section from

 

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

#released updates
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

To:

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
exclude = kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE- *

#released updates
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
exclude = kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE- *

Then to enable Centos Plus apply the following section to this file from:

#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Plus
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

To:

#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever – Plus
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6
includepkgs = kernel *

Once done, you can now install Centos-plus kernel as follows:

yum install kernel-plus

The VPS now when booted into new kernel, will come up in Centos 6 kernel plus with similar output:

uname -r
2.6.32-696.16.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64

How to auto delete old emails for cPanel User

email-delete
email-delete

If your mailbox that is always going over-quota or filling up with mail like your default account or your spam box and you don’t want to have to keep logging in and deleting the emails manually below you can find the steps how to auto delete the emails.

  1. Log on to your cPanel Interface.
  2. Go to ”Advanced‘ section.
  3. Click on “Cron Jobs“.
  4. Select the specific time from the lists provided.
  5. You should enter the command to run in the “Command” field.
Note: You should make sure to enter the proper command and the full path to the file.

Check the relevant screen captures:

To do this enter the following information in the following fields:

Minute: 45
Hour: 06
Day: *
Month: *
Weekday: *

Command: /usr/bin/archivemail –quiet –delete –days 10 /home/{USER}/mail/inbox

Make sure you replace {USER} with your actual cPanel username.

Hit the Commit Changes button and wait until sometime after 6:45 AM (assuming you set it up to run at that time) and login to your default email account to see if your emails have been deleted

If everything looks good your default inbox will now have any emails that are older than 10 days automatically deleted

To login into your default email account you use your cpanel username and password

If you wanted to have all the emails deleted that are older than three days you would simply change the –days option to 3

If you wanted to have all emails inside your mail directory including sent mail, spam, etc. that are older than 30 days deleted…
/usr/bin/archivemail –quiet –delete –days 30 /home/{USER}/mail/*
