Kloxo 500 – Internal Server Error
Kloxo control panel aka lxadmin in the past help me a lot in managing vps operational. I don’t have to touch configuration file for adding new domain, setting virtual host, grant database username and privileges etc. The other best part of this cpanel alternative are :

BIND
What's new in Bind?I was in for quite a surprise when I built a new Fedora Core 3 server. Security was much higher making things a bit more inconvenient and definitely confusing. Specifically the files paths changed from /var/named to /var/named/chroot/var/named. It looks like this is a security measure that protects the really important system file locations by emulating them to the user of the Bind service. As soon as you know about the location of the new path, everything makes sense again. Just refer to the file paths below:
Location and Purpose of Bind DNS Files /etc/named.conf - Configuration file for the DNS server. In order for a domain to be handled by the DNS server, it must be listed in this file.
/var/named/chroot/var/named/domain.db...
Tweaking Kloxo/LxAdmin by replacing bind with tinydns
In my last 2 articles, I explained how you can tweak Kloxo/lxadmin by replacing apache with lighttpd, and disable innodb and bdb, and decrease RAM usage in your server.
How to install Lighttpd in Kloxo (LXadmin)
Tweaking mysql in Kloxo/LxAdmin
By acting on above to suggestions, you can decrease your ram usage from 300MB to 164MB, however in today’s article, I’m going to explain you the way to reduce 100MB more RAM.

You can hide the Add Domain form by clicking "Click Here...(Show/Hide)".

Part 2 – DNS with Kloxo
With Kloxo you can chose to run your own nameservers, which enable you to have custom DNS records like "ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com" or you can use the DNS servers we provide for VPS customers. The main benefits to using Kloxo's built in DNS options is you can manage all DNS settings through Kloxo and create custom nameservers. This allows easy management of all domains you create in Kloxo. The downsides are setup can be a bit confusing and troubleshooting is more difficult if you run into DNS issues.
If you do not use Kloxo's DNS option you will need to create zone files through HyperVM once you add a domain through Kloxo. The...
