cPanel force remove an ip address

If you want to remove an ip address in cPanel, and sometimes the remove button is not there, just edit the file /etc/ips, remove the ip address in question, and then do a restart of the system aliases.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipaliases restart

This will work on cPanel / linux/centos

Should save you some headaches.

Enjoy!

Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge

So i have been doing a hardware upgrade, and during the migration of the accounts, the target server named zone files got polluted with stuff like this:

( ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT
; 2015112200 ;Serial Number ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT
; 43200 ;refresh ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT
; 7200 ;retry ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT
; 2419200 ;expire ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT

; ) ; Previous value removed by cPanel restore auto-merge on 20151223145307 GMT

In order to clean things up, you can do something like this:

1 –  backup your named folder : cd /var;tar czf named.tgz named

2 – cd /var/named

perl -i.bak -ne ‘next if (/^; .+ ; Previous value removed by cPanel transfer auto-merge on/); print;’ /var/named/*.db
