It doesn’t end with that, you should also install additional packages. Run the following command for the same purpose.
FirewallD is an IPv6 compatible firewall mechanism used in recent Linux distributions (RedHat/Fedora/CentOS) replacing good old iptables.
Use watch Command
Watch is a Linux command that allows you to execute a command or program periodically and also shows you output on the screen. This means that you will be able to see the program output in time. By default watch re-runs the command/program every 2 seconds. The interval can be easily changed to meet your requirements.
Monitor Memory Usage
“Watch” is extremely easy to use, to test it, you can fire up a Linux terminal right away and type the following command:
# watch free -m
The above command will check your system free memory and update the results of the free command every two seconds.

As seen per the above output, you have a header, displaying information about (from left to right) update interval, command that is being executed and current time. If you wish to hide this header, you can use the -t option.
Step One— Create a New Directory
First, it is necessary to create a directory where we will keep the new website’s information. This location will be your Document Root in the Apache virtual configuration file. By adding a -p to the line of code, the command automatically generates all the parents for the new directory.
You will need to designate an actual DNS approved domain (or an IP address) to test that a virtual host is working. In this tutorial, we will use example.com as a placeholder for a correct domain name.
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/example.com/public_html
*If you want to use an unapproved domain name to test the process, you will find information on how to make it work on your local computer in Step Seven.
Migrating was instant since we’re moving on the local fs. Checking the above screenshot you can see the rights are still the same of course. Own the folders to the ownCloud user and change the permissions to octal 755:
# Recursively own the folder to www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $OWNCLOUD_DATA_DIR/<user>/files/<folder>
# Set permissions so www-data has rwxr and group has read.
sudo chmod 755 $OWNCLOUD_DATA_DIR/<user>/files/<folder>
Moving a file/folder into ownCloud’s data directory doesn’t add it to the database automatically. Luckily, the ownCloud developers were kind enough to create a command line tool called occ that can manually add missing files and folders to the ownCloud database. You can run the following snippet on your server to check where this utility is located on the local file system:
find / -name "occ" 2>/dev/null
All you need to do is cd into that folder (in my case /var/www/owncloud) and run the following snippet:
For all account execute the following command:
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
For specific owncloud user id execute the following:
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan <username>
Where www-data is the user your web server runs on. And now, it is time for the results:
YEAH!! So this command has definitely helped. Now you can add all your files directly into your ownCloud data folder without having to sync from the desktop client.

Postfix by default restrict attachment size to approx 10MB i.e. 10240000 bytes.
You can check it using following command:
postconf | grep message_size_limit
To change attachment-size to say 50 MB, run a command like:
postconf -e message_size_limit=52428800
Note:
If you are running a mail-server with SMTP/IMAP access, you need to change postfix attachment size only. I spent half-hour debugging dovecot to increase attachment size, just to realize that above change in postfix config was all I needed!
Steps for configuration change password plugin for squirrelmail/Horde/Rainloop using poppassd are:
Download poppassd.c from https://netwinsite.com/poppassd/
Look at poppassd.c and make sure it looks safe
yum -y install gcc gcc poppassd.c -o poppassd -lcrypt mv poppassd /usr/local/bin/ yum -y install xinetd cp /etc/xinetd.d/time-stream /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd
nano /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd Update “service time” to “service poppassd”
disable = no id = poppasswd type = UNLISTED user = root group = root server = /usr/local/bin/poppassd port = 106
systemctl restart xinetd systemctl enable xinetd
Test by doing “telnet localhost 106” that service is started properly or not.
Your poppassd is now installed on Centos 7 system.

DNS Slave Auto-Configuration Quickstart
A quick guide to assist administrators who want to use Virtualmin’s automatic DNS slave configuration features. This allows for DNS server redundancy.
Introduction
Virtualmin can automatically manage any number of DNS slave servers for you. Once configured, it will create slave zones on other servers and configure them to automatically update when changes are made on your Virtualmin server. For this to work, you need Virtualmin on your primary server and Webmin (a free download) on your slave server(s). Henceforth, all references will refer to the primary server as the “Virtualmin server” and the DNS slave server as the “slave server”.
Getting Webmin for the Slave
If you don’t have Virtualmin installed on your slave server(s), you’ll need to install Webmin. Webmin is available for nearly every UNIX and Linux variant available, and is free to download and use.
Boot up the machine, and after the BIOS screen, hold down the left Shift key. You will then be prompted by a menu that looks something like this:
Hit the down arrow until you select the 2nd entry from the top (the one with the recovery mode in the description) and then hit Enter.
To force the kernel to reboot the system we will be making use of the magic SysRq key.
The magic_SysRq_key provides a means to send low level instructions directly to the kernel via the /proc virtual file system.
To enable the use of the magic SysRq option type the following at the command prompt:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
Then to reboot the machine simply enter the following:
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Voilà! Your system will instantly reboot.
