Disk quota exceeded

When you log int your server you get some error like this:
/tmp/Rs6V6BOv: Disk quota exceeded

Probably cpanel is not running and users cant send files using FTP.

Probabaly you ran out of inodes.

Run this command:
# df -i

And check if any partition is 100%.

Inodes are related to number of files you have under a directory and not to the disk space used, you should be having a large number of tmp files or a huge mail queue.

You can check the tmp files on this file: /var/tmp and mail queue on this /var/spool/exim/input/

Change VSFTPD port

How to change default vsftpd port (TCP port 21)?

vsftpd (Very Secute FTP Daemon) is used by Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL and other Linux based distros.

Changing default can be a good ideia for security reasons.

Login to your server as root

Open vsftpd.conf file (by default /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf or /etc/vsftpd.conf)
# nano vsftpd.conf

Find line that read as follows
listen_port=21

Then, replace port 21 with new port (example 23)
listen_port=231

Save and Exite. Make sure that no other service is usign that port.

Restart vsftpd
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
