If your goal is testing code, plugins, themes, and other changes, then I do not recommend using a multisite setup. You will still have to manage adding most themes and plugins via the main account, as well not all themes and plugins support muiltisite. If you ever decide to stop using multisite, the process is not as simple as enabling it, this includes manual removal of tables from the database.
It sounds like you need complete and finer controller of things that you may eventually implement on your main install of WordPress. If that is the case, I recommend creating a sub-domain and then installing WordPress there for testing.

Posting even part of your code in question might illicit more responses, without it everything is just going to be guesses.
Based on the fact that you are hitting a file handler limit and attempts to access lsof is returning a large amount of messages, I am guessing that it is stuck in an infinite loop. Since you are looping, trying to use lsof is not going to be of much benefit, as will result in further issues and excessive resources. With out reviewing all your code I would say start by insuring that fclose is not being called inside a conditional statement, which is probably a condition that is not currently being met. Also add a temporary counter/break option into the suspected loop, at the least this will limit the resources the script eats up and my help you track down the source.

You are trying to pass your variables directly to the PHP command-line interpreter as if you were calling a URL, which which will not work.
Try one of the following formats:
php -q /home/username/public_html/wp-cron.php _nonce=818e7a73&backwpup_run=runext&jobid=2 php -q /home/username/public_html/wp-cron.php "_nonce=818e7a73&backwpup_run=runext&jobid=2"

Did you guys do this migration and forget to update us?
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I apologize for the poor handling of the updates in this thread.
Concerning the notices, I can see that they were mistakenly posted in a new thread located at https://forums.totalchoicehosting.com/index.php?showtopic=45597 . I will be reviewing this with our staff so improvements can be made and having the threads merged so everyone has one location to track this issue.

If you do not mind your current content being offline while you make changes, then you can do the following.
Create a new folder in public_html, either via FTP or cPanel FIle Manager, then move all your current site files into it. Then in your cPanel locate Softaculous and use it to install WordPress, this would have you up and running in no time.
None of these changes would affect your email accounts.

Hi spchester,
Our staff will update this forum thread when we start and finish the migration. If you subscribe to this thread using the "Follow this topic" button(which I see you have done, then you will receive an email when they post. We will attempt to update this thread a day or two before the actual migration, but we can not always schedule that far in advance.You can change your external records any time after we begin, however, we can not guarantee if your site will be the first or last to be migrated. These migrations can be as quick as 8 hours for an entire server or take up to 48 hours. Once a site is migrated it is no longer accessible via the old server and DNS is redirected to the new server.
If you use external name servers, the we can schedule something if needed and within a reasonable time frame. Since we keep the old server active for a few days after migration, you can ask that your account be done after the main migration. However, you can also request that it be done immediately, instead of waiting on the main migration. I will be honest though and state that we will do our best to honor such requests, but if we have too many requests then we may have to limit them. Please feel free to open a ticket if you want to go this route.
For those that do not use external DNS, your records are automatically changed over to the new server. Your only concern then would be if you are using our host name or /IP to access services, then you would need to update your email, ftp, or other client. If you access these services with your own domain, then you will not need to make any changes.
I hope this covers any concerns, and thank you for your patience during these upgrades.

Please post or send a complete (and correct) list of all the migrations.
I am sorry this caused an issue for you and that the new notice you received is the current information.
Our migration team felt that an additional server was needed to better balance loads and performance. They corrected that information in the original forum post and then sent out the new information via email. At this time we have no plans to make any further changes to the migration information, however, if that becomes necessary, we will once again notify you.

I have split this discussion off as it is more appropriate for it to have its own thread.
Concerning FTP/S on our servers, they fully support MDTM, MFMT, as well as CHMOD. How these features are used and if time/permissions are preserved is all dependent on the configurations and ability of your FTP client.
Please see the following truncated logs that illustrate these features are available and work.

We are currently investigating several of our virtual dedicated servers that are not responding. We are trying our best to get these servers back online as fast as possible.
The servers affected by this outage are
vps139
vps140
vps141
vps143
vps145
vps149
vps151
vps153

We will be posting regular updates here on the status. Thank you for your understanding and patience. -
Hi,
All of our shared servers offer up to at least PHP 5.5 for the last two years. If you don’t want to use PHP 5.4, you can easily change to the other PHP versions with our PHP Select option in cPanel.
Concerning PHP 5.6, we are aware that we are a bit behind on this but it is actively being worked on, we just want have to insure the least issues as possible for all clients. The main issue at the moment is that we are working to upgrade MySQL passwords for all clients sites using pre4.1 style passwords. Unfortunately, while I automated most of this, the majority of that task requires us to manually locate users scripts an make updates. We expect to have this completed in the next 30 days, at which time we will move on to PHP upgrades. The PHP upgrades will also see the retirement of PHP 5.3 on our shared servers and the inclusion of PHP 5.6 and PHP 7. Any one on recently migrated servers will see these changes much sooner.
-
Sharing is a built in feature of the WordPress(.com) service. Self-hosted/installed WordPress(.org) users can enjoy similar functionality as part of the Jetpack plugin.

Just a note for anyone that has made use of the cPanel CGI Center in the past.
Deprecated CGI features
The new default cPanel theme (Paper Lantern) does not include an equivalent to the deprecated x3 theme's CGI Center interface (Home >> Software and Services >> CGI Center). We do not plan to add one in future versions of cPanel & WHM.
- Existing CGI scripts will continue to function, regardless of the cPanel theme.
- To add new CGI scripts, you must create them manually
-
This was on older server running on a 32-bit OS and we only run install 64-bit OS with new servers. What this means is that your older copy of cgiemail was not compatible with the new and I have now updated your cgiemail file and all others on this server.
Before:
# file cgiemail cgiemail: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped
After:# file cgiemail cgiemail: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped
Please accept my apology that this was overlooked and test our your script again. If you continue to have issues after this change, please follow up with out support desk. -
A good starting point would be to check out PayPal or Square. Both of these services would allow you to accept credit cards and have offers/discounts for nonprofits.
-
If you want to change it back and are not sure, just go with the "Default System Setting" option, which should be the same as "Standard Indexing". If you don't want anyone to see your files select the "No Indexing" option.

That error, specifically the port number 443, indicates you accessed the URL using https://, but you do not have an SSL certificate for your site. You can avoid this by accessing it via http://, purchasing a SSL certificate, or using our Shared SSL. Please see http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/faq/support-ssl.html for more information on SSL.
-
Our servers generate SHA-256 CSRs by default and can support others such as SHA-512. Anyone that purchases as new certificate from use will have no issues and they are compliant. If anyone purchased a multiple year certificate prior to September 2014, they can contact us to have it reviewed and reissued if needed. In fact, if you have an active certificate purchased any time from us or another provider , then just contact our support desk and we will gladly review it for you.

Please forgive me in advance, I know you are not interested in the WordPress forum plugins, but I wanted to cover both sides.
Question 1
If I want to run Wordpress as the main site and add a MyBB forum under a subdomain, (mysite.com/forum) should I set up two different databases for each one? With their own designated database user?Based on a quick review of MyBB, Yes, I would create them as separate setups/databases. In general, I would not combine another scripts database with my WordPress database unless it was designed to work that way like many plugins are. This is a personal preference and combining databases is perfectly acceptable and safe if you are comfortable with doing so.
Question 2
Is it okay to upload a MyBB forum to a 'forum' subdirectory in the root directory, where all the wordpress stuff is?This is not an issue and is common practice. Just keep in mind you may need to adjust the Wordpress rewrite rules to exclude your directory/subdomain, if you run into any issues.
Question 3
Can Wordpress and MyBB share a database and database user? Can they share a database, but do they need different database users?Yes, if you want to and this is handled by table prefixes when making your queries. You should consider connection tracking and connection limits when using just one user.
Question 4
In short, what is the best way to set up wordpress as the main site, with a forum added to it? (With out using too many wordpress plugins?)I have never added a forum to any my WordPress sites, so I can not recommend a best method, plugin, or forum. I can say that there are many viable options that include forums designed for WordPress(plugins) and bridging scripts/plugins to sync your forum and WordPress users (including some for MyBB). I can definitely understand not wanting to use to many plugins with WordPress, so in that case I would focus on the separate forum and a bridging script/plugin. If you are wanting an all in one management setup, I would take a look at some of the forums designed specifically for WordPress.
Alternatively, You could consider not allowing your user base access to WordPress in any manner. You can integrate/display your forum content in your WordPress posts/pages and leave the forum for commenting and discussions. This way you can serve up static or dynamic content to your liking without having to manage users and their privileges within multiple setups.
I am not familiar enough with any of the following to recommend them, but they might give you some ideas:https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/mybb https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-db-auth-reloaded/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ http://www.mybbaddons.com/board/thread-5974.html
