Disable the monitoring. If that does not help then you should submit a ticket.

 

[lucy fox]

how to disable that?

 

[bentink]

Perhaps there is a hardware failure.

 

[lucy fox]

why is there failure after installing centos and cpanel..and why should windows 2008 installed after that

its like 3 days..the same thing is continuing

 

[bentink]

Windows is installed instead of cPanel?

 

[lucy fox]

yes after the installation of cent os and cpanel .....like 5 minutes after that the intervention starts.the server is booted into rescue mod and windows 2008 installation starts..

I too have used kimsufi but not had that many probs . I installed Centos then directly installed Cpanel and worked smoothly for 1 month then i shifted to a different server as i could only use dedicated cpanel license as to make vps's on kimsufi is impossible

 

[lucy fox]

this problem did occur before..its for the past 3 days.

contacting the ovh tech support is not going to help

Hello,

If you pm me your msn i might be able to take a look into this for you.

 

[lucy fox]

did the pm

 

[mash-e1]

as to make vps's on kimsufi is impossible

I have to disagree it is possible

 

[Danny.M]

I have to disagree it is possible

well if i remember correctly, ovh has weird grsec kernels where modules are staticly linked in stead of loaded which is quite interesting, maybe thats what hes talking about.

its a little bit harder to get vps's setup and running there - but not impossible

 

[bentink]

OVH default images are bad to me. They make a lot of modifications to the original versions.

@ Lucky, OVH does not mean mean its services to be targeted to the Indians, so you can not complain.

 

[DLow]

Wow they dont even install cPanel for you ?

Did you cd /home ?

During install

 

[r0ck]

yea they don't install cpanel or anything just os, they figure if your buying a dedi you should know how to do this

 

[Robin H]

they are right. .. I knew shit before splitice He got me started

 

[Tango]

did you try switching boot mode back to HD ?

does ssh respond.

 

[lucy fox]

everything is fixed

the reinstallation of windows 2008 was done unnecessarily by the reseller

thread can be closed

Just like the others said, it is quite possible and the fix to it has been found on solusvm forums. If you are interested that is - READ ARTICLE HERE - much more hard work but its actually interesting and a pain in the *** ...

I did it once, and never plan to do it again - not worth the hassle to be honest.

just my 2 cents,
