Problems Logging into Horde – cPanel

When you are having problems logging into Horde on cPanel, and just keep getting the same login page over and over again. This is usually due to the horde_sessionhandler table being corrupt in the Horde database. You can usually fix the issues with logging into Horde by doing one of the following steps:

1. In MySQL try: repair table horde_sessionhandler;

If this does not fix the issue, try the following:

2. In MySQL delete, and recreate the horde_sessionhandler table as follows:

drop table horde_sessionhandler;

CREATE TABLE horde_sessionhandler (session_id VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,

session_lastmodified INT NOT NULL, session_data LONGBLOB,PRIMARY KEY

(session_id)) ENGINE = InnoDB;

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON horde_sessionhandler TO horde@localhost;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Hope this helps!

cPanel – Hostname A Entry Missing!

This is common error on new cPanel/WHM servers or virtual dedicated servers (VDS):

Once you get the POP-UP window for the error, add the ‘Hostname A Entry’ by clicking the ‘Add’ button in the POP-UP, after verifying the IP address details that it shows. This should be done just once.

This error message will keep coming up until the hostname of the server has started resolving to the correct IP address and the DNS propagation has been completed.

It seems like WHM doesn’t take into account the /etc/hosts entry.
