Copying cPanel resller account to cPanel server with root access

So I was in the process of moving a users cPanel account from an old server where he only had Reseller access to, on to my server, where I have root access. Typically you can use the method of the built in transfer within cPanel, but it is required you have root access on both servers. Because of this, it makes reseller accounts tricky. We need to do the following :

On the old server, where you have the reseller, or shared account :

1. Login to accounts cpanel www.domain.com/cpanel (or http://10.10.10.10.:2082)

2. You will then search for backups and hit enter

3. Now click on back up wizard option

[zp src=”reseller.jpg” album=”blog/cpanel/transfers/” width=”600″]

You can select wherever you would like to store it, but I prefer to jut SCP it right over to my new server.

on the new server, where you have root access :

1. Login to your server via SSH using something like putty

2. cd /home

3. wget http://domain.com/backup-1.30.2007_06-36-16_durbidge

4. log in to WHM & /Backup Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file

Note that you do need to 0777 the back up file, or you will run into permission issues when copying (if doing the backup to HOME DIR).

If you want to re-assign the reseller account, you do need to go to the reseller central, and apply the accounts to the reseller that owns them now.

Check MacBook Air SSD Model

I just received my new MacBook Air 13.3″ (MC965LL/A) and I heard that they put in 2 different SSD’s in each one. I found the best way to check which drive you have, and which is technically ‘better’.

Go to : Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > System Report > Serial-ATA.

You should see something called APPLE SSD :

If it is TS it is a Toshiba and probably a bit slower. If it is SM, it is a Samsung drive and faster.

Check MacBook Air for LCD Model

Not only are there different SSD’s in the new (MC965LL/A) MacBook air’s, but they also seem to have different LCD’s. Everyone seems to think the Samsung is better looking, but here is how to check

Launch the Terminal Applications – > Utilities
Copy and paste the following command onto a single line and hit return:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*

If it starts with LP, it is LG, if it is anything else, it is Samsung. Like mine, it is Samsung :

How to get mobi books on Amazon Kindle Touch?

I used to use calibre for syncing up books that I downloaded (epub, mobi, and PDF). It was a little clunky, but worked great.

I now see they have the option for personal storage! Which takes almost any format (see footer for formats they take), and allows you to upload to your kindle directly! One feature I love that this opens up is the archive feature, because I wanted a way to get rid of my books, but still be able to download them from the kindle itself, and not have to sync up to calibre.

All you need to do is email your username@kindle.com address, the file and it will upload to your documents!

tidbits for emailing files: you can have multiple attachments/files, you can also leave the subject and body blank or fill with data, doesn't matter.

To find what your @kindle.com address is, click here to log in, and click on manage devices, which will look like this :

[zp src=”email.jpg” album=”blog/amazonkindle” width=”600″]

If you want to see what files you have uploaded and ready to sync you can ‘push’ from this area :

[zp src=”clickhere.jpg” album=”blog/amazonkindle” width=”600″]

Now if you want to sync uploaded files, you just hover over actions :

[zp src=”hover.jpg” album=”blog/amazonkindle” width=”600″]

tidbits for file conversions : some files require conversion to azk, which will happen on Amazon’s end, and can take up to 4 hours I have been told. I generally saw my files come up within about an hour though.

This is an awesome feature, I hope you all enjoy it, I know i’ll be dumping all of my books on here shortly!

Format kindle personal documents takes (as of this post 12-27-2011) :

Supported File Types

Kindle Personal Documents Service supports multiple file types, including:

Microsoft Word (.DOC, .DOCX)
HTML (.HTML, .HTM)
RTF (.RTF)
JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG)
Kindle Format (.MOBI, .AZW)
GIF (.GIF)
PNG (.PNG)
BMP (.BMP)
PDF (.PDF); is supported in our experimental category. See below for details.

The above file types can also be combined in a compressed ZIP (.ZIP) file. ZIP files are automatically opened up by the conversion service, converted to the Kindle format if needed, and sent to your and stored in your Kindle library. Some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle.

If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of Kindle functionality such as variable font size, annotation, Text-to-Speech, etc., type “Convert” in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address.

How to reset Windows Media Center settings

Ever have issues with duplicate lineups? Duplicate channel listings in your guide? Or just overall quirky issues with your media center? I found a quick and simple way to reset it to default.

All you need to do is go to the C/ProgramData/Microsoft/eHome folder and rename or delete (I would advise rename) mcepg2-0.db and the folder mcepg2-0. Then just restart your Windows Media Center services. The way I went about it was through safe mode, as I could not do it while the system was running within windows itself. Once you do that, reboot, and you have a fresh Windows Media Center copy. If you need to re import your recordings, now is a good time.
