Known issues
Login page not loading
If you are unable to access your http://0.0.0.0:2086/ page, please make sure the firewall isn't blocking the port. You can make sure this isn't happening by running:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2086 -j ACCEPT && /etc/init.d/iptables save
If it still doesn't load, try running:
iptables -F && /etc/init.d/iptables save
If you are still unable access it, please submit a support ticket via your Rockware control panel: http://rw.limestonenetworks.com/
Licensing Error(s)
If you receive any 'License Invalid' or any other kind of licensing error(s), please try running:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
This will refresh your license key with cPanel Inc.
Setting Primary Interface
Under Basic cPanel/WHM Configuration, there is an area called Primary Interface. By default, if this isn't filled in, it will use eth0 (which isn't always correct).
In order to find out which interface is the correct primary interface, please SSH into your server and run:
ifconfig
You can tell which one is the primary by the one having your public IP address on it. Set the Alternate Main Ethernet Device under the Basic cPanel/WHM Configuration to the correct interface. For example: eth1. Then hit Okay.
Restarting cPanel should not be necessary however it is recommended.
/etc/hosts problem
This error exists because cPanel/WHM is looking at the incorrect physical interface. It adds the 10.x IP address into the /etc/hosts file, which is incorrect, so sometimes you may receive an error from cPanel/WHM complaining about it.
In order to fix it, simply following the article above and it should correct the error.
Binding additional IP
Make sure the correct primary interface is set (see above section).
Once it's set, it is very easy to bind additional IPs to your server, simply use the Add a new IP address function under IP Functions.
If you are unaware of your IP/networking information, please submit a ticket through Rockware, http://rw.limestonenetworks.com
named.conf syntax
There is a known issue with named.conf, where there will be a 1 or more syntax issue(s). We suggest running:
mv /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.bak /scripts/rebuildnamedconf service named restart
If that doesn't correct the issue, please read over cPanel Forums at http://forums.cpanel.net/
