Error: xenconsole: Could not open tty `/dev/pts/2′: No such file or directory

If you come across this error when using xm console, then you can do the following:

In that case, make sure that xenconsoled is running.

ps aux |grep xenconsoled

If is not running, just execute

xenconsoled

Now you should be able to login to the VPS using xm console.

What is xenconsoled? xenconsoled is the daemon which enables you to console into each virtual server on a Xen host.

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.
