    Hi, im trying to add domains to my server however it says:

    "The /usr partition on this server is running out of disk space. WHM operation has been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition."


    I was told i have to delete all the unused files through ssh access however i dont know how to do this. If anyone can help me please pm me.

    I will pay.

    Login to your server and perform this command:

    du -cks /usr/* |sort -rn |head -11

    This will display the top 10 biggest files in /usr. However, just because they are the biggest doesn't mean they can be deleted. List the files here and I'd be happy to help you determine if they are necessary or not.

    There also may simply be too many small but necessary files. If this is the case, you need to resize the partition.

    /usr also contains the apache logs of all the domains. If you have not selected the option clear logs after generating stats (not sure about exact name of the option) then it will eat up most of the space. You will get this option in "Tweak Settings".
