‘.jsp’ is widely used format for webpages but sometimes your web hosting server does not support it and as a result a .jsp page is unable to produce a proper appearance of webpage and it shows some sort of coding, So following are some changes you need to perform so that your website an display .jsp pages as normal webpages.

root@server[~]#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Now search domain name and remove comment attribute from the following line.

Include “/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/username/domainname/*.conf”

Make sure your save before exit

root@server[~]# cd /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/1/
root@server[~]# mkdir username
root@server[~]# cd username
root@server[~]# mkdir domainname
root@server[~]# cd domainname
root@server[~]# vi cp_jkmount.conf

Now find the file ‘cp_jkmount.conf.’ in which you need to insert the following code.

<IfModule mod_jk.c>
JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
JkMount /*.do ajp13
</IfModule>

Now you need to verify the entry in tomcat configuration file.

root@server[~]# vi /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml

After checking the entry you need to insert the following code in the same file.

<Host name=”domainname” appBase=”/home/username/public_html”>
<Alias>www.domainname</Alias>
<Context path=”" reloadable=”true” docBase=”/home/username/public_html” debug=”1″/>
<Context path=”/manager” debug=”0″ privileged=”true”
docBase=”/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager”>
</Context>
</Host>

Make sure you Save the file before you exit and now restart the tomcat.

root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./shutdown.sh
root@server[~]# /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/./startup.sh
root@server[~]# /scripts/restartsrv tomcat

And now restart the httpd service

root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd stop
root@server[~]# /etc/init.d/httpd startssl

After setting up a MySQL user’s account and after Setting up the PHP / MySQL Site Definition in Dreamweaver now we are going to have a look at the process to create a MySQL database connection with Dreamweaver. After finishing the defining part you should approach the following MySQL connection dialog box in Dreamweaver.

Connection Name: choose your desired name
MySQL Server: mysql.host.co.in
User Name: Your Username (i.e. Admin)
Password: *********
Database: Here you can directly enter the name of your database or select it from the list displayed of MySQL databases which currently exist on the server.

Note: It’s necessary for the MySQL Server field to enter localhost if PHP and MySQL are running on the same machine.

Changing password is quiet a regular type of task for many webmasters and the same is also applicable to database administrators also. Here I would like to share the procedure of changing the password of MySQL. Root user is the admin of a MySQL account. Remember that it is different than login to root account of a Linux hosting server.
If it’s your first time you are facing the question ‘How to change MySQL password?’ then the server will not require any password at all to connect as root. You will have to use mysqladmin command at shell prompt as shown following.

$ mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

If you have your old password set and want to change it then you will have to use a different following command.

$ mysqladmin -u root -p oldpassword newpass
Enter password:

If you want to change the password of a normal user then again the command is different for that as following.

$ mysqladmin -u user -p oldpassword newpass
$ mysqladmin –user=root –password=’old_password’ password ‘new_password’

cPanel by default comes with the inbuilt scripts, which has the ability to backup or restore your cPanel account. Following are the commands given to run these scripts.
Following is the command which creates the backup of a cPanel account.
/scripts/pkgacct
Following is the command which restores the taken backup
/scripts/restorepkg
Both these commands should be run as root and while restoring a backup you also need to take care to be in the same directory in which the backup is stored.
