Add SPF records to all domains in Plesk

MERCUMAYA — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:13:27 +0000

If you find yourself in the situation where you need to bulk add SPF records to every domain in Plesk, you can use this huge one-liner:

mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "select dns_zone_id,displayHost from dns_recs GROUP BY dns_zone_id ORDER BY dns_zone_id ASC;" | awk '{print "INSERT INTO dns_recs (type,host,val,time_stamp,dns_zone_id,displayHost,displayVal) VALUES ('\''TXT'\'','\''"$2"'\'','\''v=spf1 a mx ~all'\'',NOW(),"$1",'\''"$2"'\'','\''v=spf1 a mx ~all'\'');"}' | mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa

Then you’ll need to make Plesk write these changes to the zone files:

# mysql -Ns -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa -e 'select name from domains' | awk '{print "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update " $1 }' | sh

You can check your work by viewing the new entries you made:

mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "SELECT * FROM dns_recs WHERE type='TXT';"

Upgrading PostgreSQL 8.2 on Cpanel Server

ANY ACTIONS YOU TAKE, YOU TAKE THEM AT YOUR OWN RESPONSABILITY

Reason :

PostgreSQL 8.2 offers a huge performance increase pretty much across the board and few other fixes

Platforms:

RHEL 3,4,Centos 3.x,4.x, Fedora Core 5,6
Make sure if you have postgresql installed.

rpm -qa | grep postgres | tee /root/rpm_pgsql

The above will list all the installed postgresql rpm packages and store the output to /root/rpm_pgsql. You can use this list to remove all the postgresql related rpm later.

Backup all your databases

su postgres -

mkdir backups

pg_dumpall > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/postgresql_backup

exit

exit will logout from the postgres user

Now stop the postgrsql daemon using the following command

/sbin/service postgresql stop

Backup the whole database folder

mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql_old

Remove the old rpms using rpm -e, you can use the previously stored /root/rpm_pgsql to remove the postgresql rpm and its depended, for example the perl-DBD-pg depends on it. So you will be removing the /root/rpm_pgsql list + perl-DBD-gpFor example, it might differ on your servers

rpm -e rh-postgresql-server

rpm -e rh-postgresql

rpm -e rh-postgresql-devel

rpm -e rh-postgresql-python

rpm -e rh-postgresql-libs

rpm -e perl-DBD-Pg

Download the new version of postgreSQL from the postgresql download site into/usr/local/src or any directory you prefer.

After you have download the postgreSQL rpms from PostgreSQL download site.Download the following rpms

postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm
postgresql-contrib-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm
postgresql-devel-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm
postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm
postgresql-plpython-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm
postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm

To install

rpm -Uhv postgresql*.rpm

After you have installed the new postgreSQL rpms login to WHM usinghttps://ip:2087under the SQL service Menu

Postgres Config

Install new configuration and change the password

To restore the old databases

psql template1 < /var/lib/pgsql_old/postgresql_backup_file

The above will restore the databases
