Creating virtual hosts in apache...

Hi, To set the VHost entry for a domain, please navigate to the Apache configuration file, "httpd.conf". In your server, it was located at "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf". Navigate to the end of the file, where you can add the virtual host entries. The Virtual Host entries will be of the form given below (you can find the template for the Virtual host entry in the httpd.conf file itself). ===================...

Greetings, what do you have hosted there? It is likely that: if your sites are not *that* popular, that you are under attack, or maybe, got other services installed without your knowledge, or maybe, a spamming script, anyway, you would need to check all of your services logs and see. Also, if you think on a attack, you should verify about rootkits. Anyway, you can see which ports are open on your system by running: netstat -na Assuming there...

Mysql server security, How?

hi, If your server doesnt needs login from other server's users then you can remove % items . that means your mysql server will still get the access from local host users.

Problem with file owner/group
Published (2009-11-25 20:39:00)
It should be an option in easyapache. Bear in mind that if you go this way you will need the correct ownership and permissions under public_html - your sites will simply error out until this is done. If you're not confident about doing the work yourself, some of the server admins around here would no doubt help you for a small fee.

Since you are using suphp, use worker. No reason to waste resources with prefork.

Just ensure that only images are uploaded.
I wouldn't trust PHP's finfo_file (or anything that uses the extension to determine MIME type), but maybe fork out to ImageMagick's identify command and parse the results. I believe ImageMagick checks the first few bytes to determine file type.

It all depends on the features you are looking for as nothing will truly compare to a hardware firewall.
With that being said simply enabling Windows Firewall to block all ports by default and only allow exceptions for what is necessary would be more than enough security for most end users.

What is the OS. Is it a VPS or a Dedicated server. The best option would be to ask your hosting provider to do this for you if at all possible.

Well, seeing that if you suspend the account, it suspends it all. You could edit their container file and direct it to a directory or page you setup, basically stop the ability for the website to host anything. But FTP would still be accessible.

I have installed APF firewall in a linux server. However, after installing APF, I am not able to login to SSH. When I login through SSH, it comes up to Last Login time and IP and gets stuck up. I had not enabled APF on startup and I tried to reboot the server. But even after reboot it is the same result. How can I get into the server remotely as the server is at a remote place?

Try replacing your apache server with LiteSpeed.
Get another server just for database.
This would be a suggestion to start. Look for load balancing if this is not enough.
