quota and ispcfg related question

[Ovidiu]

hi guys,

I am just curious as to how "good" ispcfg works with quota.
as an example I have a site with a quota of 5000MB, when I go into ispcfg => sites => thissite => STATISTICS I see:
below this I see:

Storage Space: 5000MB
used: 11011.74k
DB::MySQL 11011.7k


I never had ispcfg showing me more correct data, I thought its just not working...
But quota is implemented right because I got an email about this site exceeding its quota just several minutes ago, saying.

Group: web2
Used Storage Space: 5081.53 MB
Allocated Storage Space: 5000.00 MB

so quota is indeed working. I wanted to see where these 5GBs are located so I tried:

h5810:/var/www# du -s -c -h web2/
3,9G web2/
3,9G insgesamt

so where would the rest of 5081 GB be ? how can I locate that?
I set their logsize to 10% in ispcfg and now watch this:

h5810:/var/www/web2# du -s -c -h log/
768M log/
768M insgesamt

how can that be? 768 >>> 500 (=10% of 5000)

I really hope somebody can help clarify these..

I guess you have not configured ISPConfig to use the du command with sudo:

Otherwise the admispconfig user is not able to get the correct size of the website directory. You can verify this by logging in as root, run du for a special website directory, then run "su admispconfig" t switch to the ispconfig user and run the same du command.

I also recommend to have a look at your /tmp directory and /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/temp directory if there are any files from this user or group.

I followed the advice given in that link, still I did not find anything from this group (web2) inside /tmp nor inside /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/temp ...

is there a command to find everything belonging to a certain group?

Hi Tenaka,

you can find all files belonging to a group with
> find / -group web2

I used this for exactly the same problem.

thx :-) although this is a year old post, your info is still useful and welcome.

Hi there,

for your interest:
In Fedora Core 6 there is by default a special setting in the sudo config file. This switch has to be changed if you want to use sudo in php scripts.

type "visudo" and search for

Defaults requiretty

I commented this out (with a #) and everything worked fine.


Apparenly Fedora Core 6 is the only OS that has the setting and it's very hard to find/ guess good search terms to find any info about this switch. That's why i'd like to add some more key words here for others experiencing the same problem:

- $go_info["server"]["sudo_du_enabled"] = true;
- /root/ispconfig/httpd/logs/error_log
- sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo
- FC6 Fedora 6


Greets,
