Vesta Control Panel - Forum

I use common linux/unix command line ftp to ftp files to/from my vesta host from my Linuxmint desktop. This has worked for many years, at least up until a couple weeks ago. Without accessing VestaCP or making any system changes via SSH it just started failing: ~/Desktop$ ftp server_name.xyz Connecte...

Several weeks back I started receiving nightly cron messages from VestaCP Subject: Cron <admin@host> sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-vesta-all Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 05:11:01 -0700 From: (Cron Daemon) <admin@host.$myhost> To: my-email-address /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-vesta: line 41: ...

I found a guide to check if pear is installed correctly, https://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.checking.php, whic...

I updated the php.ini file setting open_basedir as follows and restarting Apache: open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/ Warning: require_once(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/pear/System.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/testin...

I am a novice with SMTP, found some instructions to both install SMTP and PEAR. The install looks good. When I get around to testing to see if they work I have a short test script with these includes: require_once 'System.php'; var_dump(class_exists('System', false)); require_once "Mail.php"; System...

Either through the control panel or command line (cli?) or both, what are the procedures to add or remove an IP address in the firewall.
