How to Set Up Your cPanel Email in Gmail (Webmail)

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to configure your cPanel email account with Gmail. This allows you to check and send emails from your cPanel email directly through Gmail.

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com as an example. Be sure to replace it with your actual email account settings.

Step 1: Log into Your Gmail Account

Go to gmail.com and log into your existing Gmail account.
Once logged in, click the gear icon at the top-right corner to open the Quick Settings menu.
Select See all settings.

Step 2: Add Your cPanel Email Account

Navigate to the Accounts and Import tab at the top of the settings page.
Look for the section labeled Check mail from other accounts and click Add a mail account.
A pop-up window will appear. If not, check your browser’s pop-up blocker settings.

Step 3: Enter Your cPanel Email Address

In the pop-up, enter your cPanel email address (e.g., email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com), then click Next.
Choose the Import emails from my other account (POP3) option, then click Next.

Step 4: Configure Incoming Mail Settings

On the next screen, you’ll need to input your email server details. Use the following settings:

Username: Your full email address (e.g., email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com)
Password: The password associated with your cPanel email
POP Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain)
Port: 995
Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail – Ensure this is checked.

Once you’ve entered these settings, click Add Account.

Step 5: Configure Outgoing Mail (Optional)

If you want to send emails from Gmail using your cPanel address, select Yes, I want to be able to send mail as…, and click Next.

In the next window, confirm the name you want to appear when sending emails.
Decide whether to treat this as an alias. If you want to send replies from the same cPanel address, uncheck Treat as an alias.
Click Next Step.

Step 6: Configure SMTP Settings

You’ll now need to configure the SMTP settings to allow Gmail to send emails through your cPanel account:

SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
Port: 465 (for SSL)
Username: Your full email address (e.g., email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com)
Password: Your email account password
Secure connection: Choose SSL.

Click Add Account once everything is filled in.

Step 7: Verify Your Email Address

Google will send a confirmation code to your cPanel email account. Log into your webmail or check it via your Gmail inbox (if the POP settings have synced), find the email, and copy the verification code.

Enter this code into Gmail, then click Verify.

Step 8: You’re All Set!

Now that your cPanel email is connected to Gmail, you can send and receive emails using your cPanel address directly from your Gmail inbox. When composing a new email, simply select which address you want to send from using the drop-down next to the “From” field.

Default Email Account Settings (cPanel Email)

Here are the default server settings you will need:

Username: Your full email address
Password: Your email account password
Incoming Mail Server:mail.yourdomain.com
- POP3 Port: 995 (SSL)
- IMAP Port: 993 (SSL)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):mail.yourdomain.com
- SMTP Port: 465 (SSL)

Make sure authentication is required for both incoming and outgoing servers.

If you need further assistance with setting up your cPanel email in Gmail, feel free to contact our support team by opening a ticket through your client dashboard.

How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel

cPanel has streamlined its interface, combining the Subdomain, Addon Domain, and Parked Domain options into a single menu called Domains. Subdomains are useful for directing visitors to specific sections of your website or hosting separate projects while keeping your main domain intact.

Follow the steps below to create a subdomain in your cPanel account:

Steps to Create a Subdomain:

Log into your cPanel Account
Once logged in, navigate to the Domains section and click on the Domains menu.
Click the ‘Create A New Domain’ Button
This option allows you to create a new domain or subdomain.
Enter the Subdomain Name
In the Domain text box, type in the subdomain you want to create, such as test.tetrahostbd.com. The format will be subdomain.maindomain.com.
Customize the Directory for Your Subdomain
By default, cPanel will create a directory for the subdomain inside the public_html folder.
- Deselect the option “Share document root (/home/username/public_html) with ‘domain.tld’” if you want the subdomain to have a unique directory.
- Specify the directory path where you want the subdomain’s files to be stored, or use the auto-generated directory.
Submit Your Changes
After entering the required information, click Submit to create your subdomain.

Important Notes:

The subdomain will be live within 5–10 minutes, although DNS propagation may take up to 30–40 minutes for the changes to fully take effect worldwide.

By following these steps, you can easily set up subdomains for different sections of your website or individual projects, all under the same cPanel account.

Fixing File and Directory Permissions for cPanel Users with a Bash Script

Managing file and directory permissions on a cPanel server is crucial for both security and functionality. Incorrect permissions can expose sensitive data or cause website errors. This guide shows you how to use a Bash script to quickly fix permissions for cPanel users.

Why Are Permissions Important?

In Linux systems, permissions determine who can read, write, or execute files and directories. The most common permission settings are:

Directories: 755 – Owner has full control; others can read and execute.
Files: 644 – Owner can read and write; others can only read.

These settings protect your files while allowing websites to function correctly.

Bash Script to Fix Permissions

Here’s a simple Bash script to adjust permissions for a specific cPanel user:

#!/bin/bash
# Script to fix permissions for a cPanel user

if [ "$#" -lt "1" ]; then
  echo "Must specify user"
  exit
fi

USER=$@

for user in $USER; do
  HOMEDIR=$(egrep "^${user}:" /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f6)

  if [ ! -f /var/cpanel/users/$user ]; then
    echo "$user user file missing, likely an invalid user"
  elif [ "$HOMEDIR" == "" ]; then
    echo "Couldn't determine home directory for $user"
  else
    echo "Setting ownership and permissions for user $user"
    chown -R $user:$user $HOMEDIR
    chmod 711 $HOMEDIR
    chown $user:nobody $HOMEDIR/public_html $HOMEDIR/.htpasswds
    chown $user:mail $HOMEDIR/etc $HOMEDIR/etc/*/shadow $HOMEDIR/etc/*/passwd

    find $HOMEDIR -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; -print
    find $HOMEDIR -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; -print
    find $HOMEDIR -type d -name cgi-bin -exec chmod 755 {} \; -print
    find $HOMEDIR -type f \( -name "*.pl" -o -name "*.perl" \) -exec chmod 755 {} \; -print
  fi
done

chmod 750 $HOMEDIR/public_html

if [ -d "$HOMEDIR/.cagefs" ]; then
  chmod 775 $HOMEDIR/.cagefs
  chmod 700 $HOMEDIR/.cagefs/tmp
  chmod 700 $HOMEDIR/.cagefs/var
  chmod 777 $HOMEDIR/.cagefs/cache
  chmod 777 $HOMEDIR/.cagefs/run
fi

How to Use the Script

Save the Script: Save the code to a file named fixperms.sh.
Make It Executable: Run chmod +x fixperms.sh to make the script executable.
Run the Script: Execute the script by running bash fixperms.sh <username>, replacing <username> with the cPanel username.

Conclusion

This script provides a quick way to standardize file and directory permissions for cPanel users, enhancing security and functionality. Always test scripts in a safe environment before applying them to production servers.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your cPanel environment is secure and operating smoothly.

How to Install PPTP VPN on Linux

Setting up a PPTP VPN server on a Linux machine is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps required to get your VPN server up and running.

Step 1: Install PPTPD

PPTP depends on the PPP and PPTPD packages. To install them, run the following commands:

yum install pptpd

Or, download and install the PPTPD package using:

wget http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv pptpd-1.4.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Step 2: Configure PPTPD

After installation, you’ll need to configure the PPTPD server. Start by editing the IP settings in the /etc/pptpd.conf file:

nano /etc/pptpd.conf

Add or modify the following lines:

localip 192.168.0.1    # Server's primary IP
remoteip 192.168.0.100-200

Next, update the DNS settings in the /etc/ppp/options.pptpd file:

nano /etc/ppp/options.pptpd

Add the following lines:

ms-dns 8.8.8.8
ms-dns 8.8.4.4

Step 3: Create a VPN User

To allow access to the VPN server, you’ll need to create a user account. Add the user credentials in the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file:

nano /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

Insert the following line:

username pptpd password *

Replace username and password with your desired credentials.

Step 4: Enable IP/Network Forwarding

IP forwarding is essential for routing packets between VPN clients and the internet. Enable IP forwarding by editing the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Uncomment or add the following line:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

To apply the changes, run:

sysctl -p

Step 5: Configure IPTables for NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows VPN clients to access the internet through the server’s public IP. First, identify your network interface (e.g., eth0, ens33) by using the ifconfig command.

Assuming your network interface is eth0, add the following IPTables rules:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

Save these rules to ensure they persist after a reboot.

Step 6: Start and Enable the PPTPD Service

Finally, start the PPTPD service and enable it to run at boot:

systemctl start pptpd systemctl enable pptpd

Your PPTP VPN server is now set up and ready to use. You can connect to it using any PPTP VPN client with the user credentials created earlier.

Troubleshooting ‘WebSocket Handshake Failed’ Error in cPanel’s Terminal Feature

Encountering the “Error: The WebSocket handshake failed” message while using the Terminal feature in cPanel can be frustrating, especially if you’re accessing cPanel through a sub-domain like https://cpanel.yourdomain.com.

Why does this error happen?

When you try to open the Terminal in cPanel, it uses something called a “socket.” This socket needs to confirm where you’re connecting from. If it detects a proxy, it stops working.

How to solve it:

Mostly, this happens when user uses third party DNS server such as Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s way of hiding your real IP address causes this problem. To fix it, try accessing cPanel using a server IP address or the server’s hostname instead of the Cloudflare-protected one.

By doing this, you can bypass the error and use the Terminal feature in cPanel hassle-free.

Here’s what you can try to fix it:

1. Use these links to access cPanel >> Terminal:

– https://server-ip-ipaddress:2083
– https://server-hostname:2083

If these links don’t work, try these steps:

– Turn off any proxies or VPNs you might be using.
– Try different web browsers to see if that helps.

If you’re still experiencing issues with this problem, please reach out to our support team for assistance via https://www.tetrahostbd.com/contact.

Solving ‘421 Too Many Connections’ Error in FileZilla for Seamless FTP Transfers

FileZilla is a convenient tool for FTP file transfers in cPanel. However, encountering a ‘421 too many connections’ error can disrupt this process. To ensure smooth file transfers, let’s explore two methods to fix this issue.

Understanding the Error:
FileZilla throws this error when attempts exceed 8 connections from the same IP address without closing older ones. Incorrect settings might also trigger unsuccessful connection attempts.

Error Message:
“Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP Error: Could not connect to the server.”

Method 1: Refresh Connections via cPanel

1. Log into your hosting account and access cPanel.
2. Look for “FTP Connections” under the “Files” section. If you can’t find it there, scroll down to locate it.

3. Open “FTP Connections” to see all active connections. Click “Reload” to refresh them.

Method 2: Increase FTP Connections from FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla and navigate to the File Manager option, which might vary based on your operating system. For instance, in iOS, you’ll find an icon, while Windows might display options like File, Edit, etc. Access the File Manager or Site Manager.

2. Click on “My Sites” from the left-sidebar and open the “Transfer Settings” tab.

If the settings area is accessible, select “Limit number of simultaneous connections,” and set the “Maximum number of connections” to more than 8. Click “Ok” to save the settings.

Please note: FileZilla doesn’t facilitate the disconnection of old connections; you’ll still need to use your cPanel account for that.

By following these steps, regardless of the presence of older connections with incorrect settings, you should be able to establish a successful connection between FileZilla and your hosting server.

These methods ensure a hassle-free experience with FileZilla for FTP transfers.

Troubleshooting Network Issues Using MTR Reports

MTR, a network diagnostic tool, assesses the network connections between your physical location and your hosting server. It blends the capabilities of both ping and traceroute, enabling you to consistently monitor a remote server and observe how latency and performance change over time. To conduct an MTR test on Windows, you’ll need to install WinMTR, which can be obtained from this link.

Once it’s installed, launch WinMTR.

1. In the “Host” field, input the domain name or IP address you want to trace, and then click the “Start” button.
2. Allow it to run for at least 30 seconds, then click the “Stop” button.
3. Capture or export the results in either text or HTML format, and send them to your provider via email. This will help them to analyze the data(please include your public IP address as well).
