Finding “Other Usage” from cPanels Disk Space Usage

If you are trying to track down where your disk space is used up, and you see a lot used by “Other Usage” you can find this by using the following command.

find / -user $USER > /root/list_of_files.txt

Change $USER with the username of the account you are trying to find the files for. This will search the entire server for all files owned by that username, and dump them into a file in /root called list_of_files.txt

Wordpress site restoration using backupbuddy plugin

Backupbuddy is a wordpress plugin used for backup and restoring wordpress sites. To do a WP site restoration process via backupbuddy plugin we needs the following details

1. backup file generated by the plugin in zip format
2. importbuddy.php file
3. Password provided at the time of the backup generation.


Upload the importbuddy.php file and backup file to the document root of your account on path /home/user/public_html/. Then take the importbuddy.php file on your web browser as follows

http://www.domain.com/importbuddy.php


ImportBuddy will now ask for the password that you created when you downloaded ImportBuddy.  On entering the password it will display the bacckup file you uploaded. ImportBuddy will unzip your backup file and show you a success message when it has extracted the files. On the next screen it will ask for the site URL and database details. You can enter the new DB details (DB username, DB name & password) here. After the restoration process click on the “Clean up and remove temporary files” button.

If you are getting “There are no domains which have awstats stats to display” while checking the Awstats from your cPanel >> logs >> Awstats. You can refer the following steps to resolve this issue

Please check the following files :
