A work around found for this issue is :

Edit : functions.php

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
if(is_category() || is_tag()) {
$post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
if($post_type)
$post_type = $post_type;
else
$post_type = array('post','custom_post_type_name','nav_menu_item'); // replace custom_post_type_name with your post_type, and keep nav_menu_item to display menu in category page.
$query->set('post_type',$post_type);
return $query;
}
}

To check the status of RAID:

$ cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md2 : active raid1 sda3[1]
730202368 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md1 : active raid1 sda2[1]
264960 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md0 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda1[1]
2102464 blocks [2/1] [U_]

you will see [_U] or [U_] if there is a broken RAID.

If required remove the broken hardrive from RAID from all md devices.

# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdb1

# mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --fail /dev/sdb3

Shutdown the machine and replace the hard drive.

Once the server is booted, you will see the new device (either sda or sdb depends on what drive is broken)

# ls -l /dev/sd*

Now we need to replicate the partition schema on the new drive.

sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb

// -d     Dump the partitions of a device

We can add the partition to the RAID now, you could verify the partitions with fdisk -l.

# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1

# mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdb3

It will start sync the data and will be ready once completed.

You may verify the mdstat

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1]
7302023 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md0 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
21024 blocks [2/2] [UU]

./arun

Make sure that you have IPv6 enabled on your DA.

# grep ipv6 /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
ipv6=1

Add the IPv6 Addresses to your direct admin, through IP Management (This will add IPv6 address to the interface).
Enter the IPv6 Address in IP field and keep the Netmask as 255.255.255.0

Add IPv6 address for your name servers,
go to DNS administration –> Select your name server domain –> Add AAAA records for your Name Servers. Make sure you have added the IPv6 addresses already to DA.

Check your name server is resolving/reachable via IPv6.

Now to add IPv6 Address to hosted domains, select the domain –> Modify user –> select the IPv6 address in “Add Additional IP”. If the IPv6 address is not visible, make sure it is added to DA and to the reseller account you are editing the domain.

Add the IPv6 address(AAAA) to the corresponding domains DNS configuration.

Here we go, ping666666

./arun

Add the new disk to Volume group

For e.g.: if the disk is HP with Smart array

# pvcreate /dev/cciss/c0d1
# vgextend <volume_group_name> /dev/cciss/c0d1

Extend the Logical volume:
# lvextend -L<+mention_the_size> /dev/<volume_group>/<logical_volume>
eg: # lvextend -L+25G /dev/localhost/var
       # lvextend -L+10G /dev/localhost/home

Resize the file system:
# resizefs <file_system>
eg:
# resizefs /dev/mapper/localhost-var
# resizefs /dev/mapper/localhost-home

./arun

# wget http://rsnapshot.org/downloads/rsnapshot-1.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rsnapshot-1.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

Configure public key authentication

- Enable public key authentication with remote hosts with normal user privilege

local# ssh-keygen -t rsa
local# scp id_rsa.pub ssh-remote-server:id_rsa.pub

remote# useradd -c “Backup user” -d /data/home/backup/ backup
remote# su – backup

remote# vi .ssh/authorized_keys

remote# chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys

remote# cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys ; rm id_rsa.pub

Add the command allowed to execute in the authorized_keys

command=”/home/backup/validate-rsync.sh”

Create the /home/backup/validate-rsync.sh script with following contents

#!/bin/sh
case “$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND” in
  *\&*)
    echo “Rejected 1″
    ;;
  *\;*)
    echo “Rejected 2″
    ;;
    rsync*)
    $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
    ;;
  *true*)
    echo $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
    ;;
  *)
    echo “Rejected 3″
    ;;
esac

$ chmod 700 validate-rsync.sh

Create the rsync wrapper script

$ cat  > /usr/local/bin/rsync_wrapper.sh

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync “$@”;

# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/rsync_wrapper.sh

This steps will basically force the ssh connection to execute the rsync as sudo

Grant user to execute rsync as root

backup    ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync

Configure Rsnapshot

master# cp /etc/rsnapshot.conf.default /etc/rsnapshot.conf

Configure path for cp, rsync, ssh, logger, du etc

set link_dest = 1

change rsync_long_args like

rsync_long_args –rsync-path=rsync_wrapper.sh –delete –numeric-ids –relative –delete-excluded

If you require daily backup for a week,

interval daily 7

More details are on the how to section for rsnapshot website

http://rsnapshot.org/howto/1.2/rsnapshot-HOWTO.en.html

Configure the hosts and file system to backup

backup      backup@remotehost:/etc/     remotehost/

./arun

First thought of compiling php from source, but hard to keep it uptodate. So decided to make the life easier with EPEL/IUS repositories.

Remove all existing php related packages:

# rpm -e php php-mysql php-cli php-pdo php-common

Download and install the EPEL/IUS RPMs

# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/epel-release-1-1.ius.el5.noarch.rpm

# wget http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/ius-release-1.0-8.ius.el5.noarch.rpm

incase if the list not working just browse and find the rpm.

Install the RPMs

# rpm -Uvh *-release-*.rpm

Now you can install php 5.2 or 5.3 like:

# yum install php52 php52-mysql

./arun

It is very often required that you need to commit/update to the svn repository which is only indirectly accessible through a gateway (user can ssh to gateway and gateway can ssh to internal svn server)

Suppose you have a working copy (locally on your machine)  setup with the real svn url (eg : svn+ssh://svn.example.com)

- Make ssh connection with local port forwarding to the gateway server

# sudo ssh gateway.example.com -L 22:svn.example.com:22

Change the repository url to localhost, since the local host connection forward to remote svn server through the gateway.

#cd <local_svn_path>

# svn switch –relocate svn+ssh://svn.example.com/trunk svn+ssh://localhost/trunk

Now you should be able to update, commit, etc to/from your repository.

You can switch it back to the original url when you have direct access to repository.

./arun

Install the dependency packages:

# sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make flex bison openssl libssl-dev perl perl-base perl-modules libperl-dev libaio1 libaio-dev bind9

Purchase and register the server ip at directadmin.com

Once the license is activated, login to the server:

$ wget http://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh

$ chmod 755 setup.sh

# sudo ./setup.sh

// enter the client id, license id, FQDN etc, and follow the instructions.

Once the installation completed the direct admin interface will be accessible at https://< server_ip >: 2222/

./arun

Add the following line under configuration–> permission

This was the case when I installed Drupal 7 with Cpanel/Fantastico, the drupal site was displaying the above error.

This issue is discussed at drupal issues . try to patch it as mentioned in the url.

But for me it works with the following change, just removed the TRADITIONAL mode, not  sure it is the correct way to fix it. You can verify the sql modes at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-sql-mode.html ,  Anyway now there is no errors in drupal site and I am able to login.

(includes/database/mysql/database.inc) Line: 65

New file
<  $this->exec(“SET sql_mode=’ANSI,ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY’”);
—
Old file
>  $this->exec(“SET sql_mode=’ANSI,TRADITIONAL’”);

Also setting up the sql connection mode to SET SESSION sql_mode = "ANSI,TRADITIONAL"; is an option instead of above change.

./arun

Login to RSA interface:

- Create the apache server as agent host with type web agent
- Generate the config file (zip file containing sdconf.rec) from RSA interface, and download to your local machine

Login to the web server

- Download the RSA web agent installation files from RSA website.

# mkdir -p /var/ace

- Copy and extract (sdconf.rec) the downloaded config file
# chmod 755 sdconf.rec

- Create the sdopts.rec file with the ip address of the machine, if you have multiple ip address assigned to the server or if the RSA we agent is a virtual machine. Otherwise the authentication might break with following kind of errors
“100: Access denied. The RSA ACE/Server rejected the Passcode. Please try again.” , “attempted to authenticate using authenticator “SecurID_Native”. The user belongs to security domain “SystemDomain””

# echo "CLIENT_IP=" > sdopts.rec
# chown -R webuser:webuser /var/ace

- Now install the RSA web agent

# tar xvf WebAgent_70_Apache_RHEL5_32_379_08201024.tar
# cd CD/
# chmod u+x install
# ./install

- Enter the location of sdconf.rec

- Configure the apache virtual host

It was found that web agent breaks if apache starts multiple server thread, so would be better to limit the thread.

< IfModule prefork.c >
StartServers 1
MinSpareServers 1
MaxSpareServers 1
ServerLimit 256
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
< /IfModule >

- Now start apache and you will be able to access the RSA web interface.

Once authenticated, the RSA server will create a node secret for the agent host and will be copied automatically to the web server.

This web interface is mainly useful for the token users to reset or enable to token assigned to him.
