Cant increase tmp folder / Can i move backup directory under /home?

[basketmen]

Hello guys,

- this is my whm status disk information ...


- i tried this tutorial to increase tmp folder /http://cpanelwhm.org/ssh/increase-tmp-partition-size/144
but looks like no change, the tmp still same like that, already tried rebooted the server too
what i miss or did the tutorial wrong?


- if i cant increase tmp folder, i need to change backup directory,
can i change it under /home, for example /home/backup ?



please share your experience

yes there are steps missing "umount" and actually removing the existing /usr/tmpDSK

here is a complete instruction and a added manual instruction

Hi ,

You can change the Backup directory to /home/backup. Please refer below docs for Backup directory configuration:
https://documentation.cpanel.net/di...#BackupConfiguration-ConfigureBackupDirectory

Hello,

If you do change the backup location to /home/backup and you have quota support enabled on /home then backups will be degraded. The next time /scripts/fixquotas is run, it will disable quota support on the /home partition/directory because it will detect that the backup directory is located on that partition.

Just a gotcha that many users forget about. Quotas will be disabled if fixquotas detects that the BACKUPDIR is set to a location that has Quotas currently enabled.

Half visitors cant access my site, google cant access my site too

- Few days ago i made this change to my server :

i tried this tutorial to increase tmp folder /http://cpanelwhm.org/ssh/increase-tmp-partition-size/144
i cant make it, i just change /scripts/securetmp, and already restore the file before edited

that tutorial looks like wrong or not completed tutorial, said this person http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/cant-in...-directory-under-home-445452.html#post1798912




- i already tried this too, to try empty /tmp folder before
rm -rf /tmp/*

but looks like no change

in WHM > Service Status, almost same still like this now
http://forums.cpanel.net/attachment...ry-under-home-whm-status-disk-information.jpg




- since about that date, my visitors decreased about half
i think its because new year vacation before, but its still like that until now

and in google webmaster tools get this message, its mean google cant access my site too :
Googlebot can't access your site
Temporarily unreachable

i tried check in host-tracker.com, about 40% says my site up, 60% says down





- its looks like the problem in Resolver or nameserver or dns or something like that

some visitors that cant access my site, says they use google DNS (8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4) in they internet connection, maybe it can be a clue


in whm > Resolver Configuration, its still like this since few months ago no problem
8.8.8.8
111.222.333.444 --> just example


i already tried restart DNS, disable csf, reboot the server, but still same


please help guys finding the problem, what i need to check or try? it is better if i can fix it by my self, otherwise i will create cpanel support ticket later

You should avoid running commands, as root, on your server if you're unsure of what you're doing.

This, rm -rf, run incorrectly in the wrong location, can wipe you out.

You might want to look into hiring a professional system administrator to assist you.

here are result from intodns.com that have blue & yellow warning, how is it guys :

Info 	Domain NS records 	Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

ns1.domain.com.   ['111.222.333.444']   [TTL=172800]
ns2.domain.com.   ['111.222.333.444']   [TTL=172800]

a.gtld-servers.net was kind enough to give us that information. 





Info 	NS records from your nameservers	NS records got from your nameservers listed at the parent NS are:

ns2.domain.com  ['111.222.333.444']   [TTL=86400]
ns1.domain.com  ['111.222.333.444']   [TTL=86400] 





Warn 	Different subnets 	WARNING: Not all of your nameservers are in different subnets





Warn 	Different autonomous systems 	WARNING: Single point of failure




Warn 	SOA EXPIRE 	Your SOA EXPIRE number is: 3600000. That is NOT OK




Info 	MX Records	Your MX records that were reported by your nameservers are:

0   domain.com   111.222.333.444

[These are all the MX records that I found. If there are some non common MX records at your nameservers you should see them below. ] 




Info 	Number of MX records 	OK. Looks like you only have one MX record at your nameservers. You should be careful about what you are doing since you have a single point of failure that can lead to mail being lost if the server is down for a long time. 



Info 	WWW A Record 	Your [url]www.domain.com[/url] A record is:
[url]www.domain.com[/url] -> domain.com -> [ 111.222.333.444  ]

[Looks like you have CNAME's]

using ping.eu/traceroute/ the result like this

using whatsmydns.net, only 4 location down :

Yes, that link I posted for you should be useful.

here are result from intodns.com that have blue & yellow warning, how is it guys :

You can most likely ignore those. They have nothing to do with your securetmp issue. If you see anything in red, what do they say?
