Got it. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi all, I was attempting to reallocate disk space (1.2Tb) from /dev/mapper/centos-home to /dev/centos/root (50G) using the $lvreduce on the former and neglected to first reduce the /centos-home file system size. Now I'm getting a persistent "can't read superblock" error when i try to remount...

alexonb, Just to be clear, which of these is the correct way to update the DNS entry for fatcow? A) NS1.climatestore.com NS2.climatestore.com or, B) NS1.ipaddressofmyserver NS2.ipaddressofmyserver And should change the SOA record before making these changes? merci/thanks!

4 days ago I decided to start using PLESK's DNS server as the primary name server for my DNS Zone and domain climatestore.com. I added new TXT records, to support integration with a bulk Email provider, to the the zone and 'updated' them. I then tested if they were 'visible' using the 'dig'...

Thanks for the quick reply Igor. Good to get the confirmation re. PLESK. Wasn't aware of the utility nor CPU angle. Will look into it. Cheers

Thanks for the replies. Solved the problem. As I'm using CENTOS, I used... /opt/plesk/php/5.4/bin/pecl install zendopcache and placed the module specific .ini file here /opt/plesk/php/5.4/etc/php.d/opcache.ini Also, thanks for the suggestion re. using php 5.6 for Magento, I'm using...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to plesk so still getting used to the environment. I'm trying to get zend-opcache correctly installed for PHP 5.4 in the Plesk 12.5 environment. Magento CE 1.9.2.4 requires PHP 5.4 and has functonality for Zend Opcache. It looks like Opcache is included with Plesk 12.5...
