Limit cPanel bandwidth using mod_cband
This article covers how to limit cPanel bandwidth using mod_cband. In order to compile mod_cband, we must have apxs2 installed.
We can achieve that by doing this:
$ apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev
Next we download and install mod_cband like this:
cd /tmp
wget http://cband.linux.pl/download/mod-cband-0.9.7.4.tgz
tar xzvf mod-cband-0.9.7.4.tgz
cd mod-cband-0.9.7.4
./configure
make
make install
The make install command should have added the mod_cband module to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Run:
$ vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
and check if you find a line like this:
LoadModule cband_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cband.so
Finally restart Apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
The mod_cband installation is now finished.
Failed to restart network service CentOS error
This article covers methods to fix 'Failed to restart network.service' on both RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. You can use "NetworkManager.service" as the default networking service in RHEL 8.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 uses the default networking service, NetworkManager, which is a dynamic network control and configuration daemon to keep network devices and connections up and active when they are available.
If any of these scripts are required, the installation of the deprecated network scripts in the system is still possible with the following command:
# yum install network-scriptsIn RHEL 7 /etc/rc.d/init.d/network was owned by initscripts but with RHEL 8 this tool is part of network-scripts rpm.
Also, you can restart you network by issuing following command:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
You can also stop and start it by issuing:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.servicesudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service

DirectAdmin invalid characters in mail autoresponder
This article covers tips to resolve invalid character error in mail-in DirectAdmin.
The reason for this error is that Oracle sees a character that it considers invalid.
If you use a special character in a table or column name, then try putting double quotation-marks around the name.
If you use a special character in a value, put quotation marks around it.
If you look closely, you'll notice a punctuation mark of some sort between "Character" and "Invalid."
This means you have included punctuation marks in the information you typed into that field.
Remove all punctuation marks, symbols, or other special characters and you will be able to proceed.
To fix #DirectAdmin #error: Invalid characters in mail autoresponder:
1. You have to set correct encoding for Directadmin theme that is used. In this case, default “enhanced” theme was used so I edited accordingly:
vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/lang/en/lf_standard.html
2. Then find variable “LANG_ENCODING” and correct it to your needs. In my case:
LANG_ENCODING=UTF-8
