If you are using WHM/Cpanel to manage your hosting server then chances are you’ve experienced being lockout by the server already due to Cpanel’s CpHulk brute force protection feature. CpHulk helps deter any attempt to gain access to the server through brute force or password guessing thus if you happen to forget your password and keep logging into the server without success for five consecutive times you will definitely be blocked by the server.

By default, below is CpHulk’s tolerance to failed login attempts:

Even if you’re able to supply the correct login credentials to your server, once you’re blocked from the system, you still wont be able to login to the following services:

• Login to the server through SSH
• Check your email through webmail
• Login to your WHM/Cpanel

What you can do when it happen for you to be able to gain access to the server again are the following:

• Connect to a VPN so you will access the server from an unblocked IP address
• If your Internet service provider is using Dynamic IP assignment then a restart of your modem should get you a new IP address
• Connect to your friend/neighbor’s network — don’t forget to ask permission first.
• Tether your phone
• Contact your server’s technical support to flush your CpHulk’s DB

How do I avoid interference?
Using multiple access points on the same channel and in close proximity to one another will generate interference. When employing multiple access points, make sure to operate each one on a different channel (frequency).

How do I reset the access point?
Press the Reset button on the back of the access point for about ten seconds. This will reset the unit to its default settings.

How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every obstacle placed between an access point and wireless computer will create signal loss. Leaded glass, metal, concrete floors, water, and walls will inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with your access point and your wireless computer in the same room and move it away in small increments to determine the maximum range in your environment. You may also try using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one channel. Also, open the access point’s web-based utility, click Wireless > Advanced, and make sure the output power is set to 100%.

Mod_deflate is an optional module for the Apache 2 HTTP Server. It is based on Deflate lossless data compression algorithm which uses a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding.

This Apache 2 module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from Apache 2 HTTP server to be compressed before being sent to the client’s web browser such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Enabling this Apache 2 specific module will help decrease network traffic and pages are served faster as pages are compressed on-the-fly thus reducing the size by 50 to 80 percent. It will however increase your server cpu usage as the pages are being compressed.

Below are the steps to enable mod_deflate module on apache 2.2 through cpanel/whm with the assumption that apache 2 was compiled with mod_deflate.

1. Login as root to your Web Host Manager page and go to Apache Configuration.

2. Click on the Include Editor and locate Pre VirtualHost Include and select “All versions” on the “select apache version” drop down list.

3. Copy and paste the configuration below:

<location />
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/x-js text/css
</location>

4. Restart Apache service to enable the changes on the configuration.

To check if mod_deflate is working and Apache 2 is serving compressed pages, you can check your website from here

Setting up D-Link DIR-600 wireless router and SmartBro canopy

1. Connect the SmartBro UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable to the D-Link DIR-600 router’s WAN/Internet port.

2. Connect your PC to one of the available LAN ports of the D-Link DIR-600 wireless router, use the network cable that comes with router package.

3. In your favorite browser, type in the router’s ip address (default is 192.168.0.1) e.g http://192.168.0.1 and hit enter.

4. Enter your username and password when asked. By default, username is “admin” without password.

5. We are going to setup the router manually so click on “Manual Internet Connection Setup” button.

6. On the “Internet Connection Type” section, select Dynamic IP (DHCP)

7. Enter your desired router’s hostname, default is DIR-600 (you can leave this as is)

8. Enter the primary and seconday dns to use, SmartBro’s dns servers are not reliable so I suggest you use google’s public dns servers for both primary and seconday dns, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

9. Click on the “Clone Your PC’s MAC Address” button. Your PC’s MAC address should reflect in the MAC address box. If not, then check that your PC is properly connected to your router and insert in one of designated LAN ports, and that your utp cable is good.

10. Click on “Save Settings” button.
