mircea_popescu: Framedragger 1. open cpanel session 2. generate ssh key 3. export it 4. import it into another. see a connect to b.

mircea_popescu has this morning looked into cpanel, it would seem you can do this trivally.

pete_dushenski: i've had no issues with cpanel in the past, nor is 'cpanel doesn't unglue without reformatting' a cause to abandon it in my book

a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 04:07 ben_vulpes: go, try to remove cpanel from a machine.

asciilifeform lulz at the memory of how never saw 'cpanel' anywhere until mircea_popescu's

BingoBoingo: Also configure at home seems like a nice alternative to cpanel dedibortion or vps.

williamdunne points at cpanel, sorry Mr.Popescu, your billion dollar idea has already been done! Its magical!

williamdunne: BingoBoingo: I attended a college for a short while, I was recording all of my work on a cpanel server. Had about a years worth of stuff on it when it fucked up

mircea_popescu: williamdunne you can have a cpanel acct if it helps you

ben_vulpes: he's been derping on cpanel, i can see.

assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 15:32:11; mircea_popescu: at any rate, THIS is why i ask people "well, can you do it on a cpanel box" well before.

mircea_popescu: at any rate, THIS is why i ask people "well, can you do it on a cpanel box" well before. ☟︎

ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [00:54] how the everliving fuck is cpanel used with anything other than php/static wwwtron << fwiw asciilifeform i went through a very similar saga on a very similar popescuian box. i just thought that "this was how things were supposed to be" and labored in silence.

mircea_popescu: currently for instance, cpanel forums require ssl, and so i'm not visiting them. i don't generally visit sites that don't have a http version.

BingoBoingo: Cpanel's primary design goal seems to be disorienting people when they try unperverted stuff such that they get hooked on the dope

TomServo: pogoplug and such I understand.. but how does it factor in the cpanel debate?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://www.nginxcp.com/installation-instruction/ << there, random spamsite has nginx-for-cpanel prepackaged.

mircea_popescu: in the sense that is it still usable as a cpanel box or will i have to have it reflushed.

mircea_popescu: so basically... cpanel is super-security. even if malware expert gets root... what good is it ? :D

asciilifeform: how the everliving fuck is cpanel used with anything other than php/static wwwtron

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where does cpanel keep apache's vhost configs, and why is this not documented anywhere ?

asciilifeform: hence the traditional 'cpanel is not removable' dictum

mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours. <

mircea_popescu: move cpanel's apache to a diff port, and allocate 80 to yours.

asciilifeform: the requiring apache (and not just any, but cpanel's custom) is cpanelism

asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> i am still awaiting your gentoo canonical << not even objecting to the linux flavour of that box, but to the cpanel idiocy

Adlai: logged into cpanel as root ?!@ << asif you need root to fandango

ascii_field: betcha it was 'lost' as soon as i logged into cpanel

ascii_field: and cannot be retrofitted without being clobbered by cpanel the next time it is used to make any alteration

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: apache won't play along with python without a plugin 'mod_wsgi' which does not appear to exist in cpanel

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: how -the fuck- does one run a python www proggy on cpanel box

ascii_field is blithering at the sheer amount of litter that cpanel leaves in every conceivable aspect of system

ascii_field: and that the motherfucking cpanel thing puts it fuck knows where

ascii_field is still wondering how mircea_popescu can use that cthonian horror, cpanel

mircea_popescu: With your preferred file transfer method, upload the custom module's archive file to your server's /var/cpanel/easy/apache/custom_opt_mods/ directory.

assbot: Custom Modules - EasyApache - cPanel Documentation ... ( http://bit.ly/1P3gQ7W )

mircea_popescu: well... once you decide to commit to sysadmining that box, you can take cpanel off :D

kakobrekla has no idea how the fck do i diagnose whats wrong in this 'cpanel'

mircea_popescu: myeah. that's nothing : at some point servers were owned through an actual cpanel update.

mircea_popescu: dude stop fixing things that work. you wanna do something, make gentoo work as smoothly as cpanel.

asciilifeform playing with 'cpanel' for the first time, struggles to understand wtf is the point of it

assbot: How to install Varnish Cache - cPanel KnowledgeBase ... ( http://bit.ly/1bwZRhQ )

ben_vulpes: that way you don't have the "lol installed cpanel server is useless for anything else until os reinstalled" prazlem

mircea_popescu: cazalla / bingoboingo : just in case you were wondering where the ftp server went, turns out cpanel decided to upgrade stuff on the 23rd, failed to get pureftpd upgraded correctly, decided it's no longer needed and nuked it.

mircea_popescu: if you can use cpanel i can set you up momentarily.

mircea_popescu: if you can live with a cpanel account i can spin you one up rightnao.

cazalla: BingoBoingo, legit actually, i make backups with cpanel which makes some 100mb archive but i didn't delete em

mircea_popescu: punkman if you want a dyi mirror, i can give you a cpanel ?

assbot: 10GBPS Unmetered Dedicated Servers Windows and Linux Cpanel PLESK WHM

cazalla: dunno, i used pos file manager in cpanel so doesn't matter

mircea_popescu: <cazalla> suspended for excessive use of resources, can't even access cpanel or ftp to make a backup, submitted a ticket << that's classy o.o

cazalla: BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Cazalla is hosting it, I don't have panel access <<< suspended for excessive use of resources, can't even access cpanel or ftp to make a backup, submitted a ticket

mircea_popescu: anyway, what's the story here, derp couldn't get a secure cpanel environment in 3 tries ?

ben_vulpes: mpex.cpanel (error)

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: cpanel indeed

ben_vulpes: wow cpanel does some insane shit to machines

mircea_popescu: so about... well just about five years ago i did this thing where i gave a free domain + free cpanel hosting to a bunch of romanian bloggers that seemed more or less okay.

HyperChetty: well I would wish disease on cPanel but it seems I am too late

mircea_popescu: mostly for "The network of cPanel Inc.'s support department was compromised and machines used for connecting to customers' servers were found to be infected with Ebury"
