I'm on a shared FreeBSD server, running Apache with Drupal, and vBulletin.
I had to create a local php.ini file in my public_html folder for Drupal, and another in my forum folder for vBulletin. Now my question is, what should I set the permissions of these files to? Also, what should I set .htaccess permissions to as well?
I'd like to keep them invisible to the public. But, I don't want any problems with Drupal, or vBulletin ether.
I'm used to using Linux and I know how permissions work on a desktop. I just don't know what they do when used on a server. I'm guessing 640, but I'd like to make sure before I change anything.
I currently have a WHM/CPANEL VPS and will be running a content managment system that is licensed to manage any domain on the same server.
The CMS essentially builds static webpages for all domains that it manages. The CMS is written in perl and is installed in CGI directory of the " master domain".
I wish to use the CMS in this master domain to control the other domains on the server. Each of the other domains has its own public_html directory and own CPANEL.
Right now, I have to make the public_html directory of my other websites "world writeable" before I build its pages using the CMS. I want to get away from that.
I wish to set up permissions to 755 on each of the public_html directories and still be able to write to those other sites from my master domain's CMS.
Until recently i had never used a Linux server, as i used to have a windows server. I now have a Linux VPS
I am now at my wits end with file permission problems
I use Joomla a lot for my websites, and i also develop and program many modules and components for it, but at the moment every time i upload a module (which is a zip file with php files that is put onto the server in the right place via php) it sets the ownership to "nobody" rather than the username so i cant access it via ftp, as it says you don't have permission or the file may not exist.
Is there anyway the server can be set so it will by default set the file to have an owner name that will allow ftp access to it without me having to learn SSH Putty (which is all i have done today) or contacting my hosting company every time?
I am spending more of my time with these permission problems than doing my work, it driving me barmy!
I'm using WAMP and IIS for the first time so bear with me if I overlooked something obvious.
I have a simple script that creates a few files and then attempts to move them to a subdirectory. I am getting a permission denied error when attempting to move the scripts in WAMP. I am uncertain how to set directory permissions in WAMP. I am also unsure how this will affect the script when I migrate it to an IIS server.
I am using a flash media player on one of my domains that streams music. The flash player would be like domain.com/music
The mp3 files are located in domain.com/music/mp3
The flash player just reads the title of the song and displays it in the media player.
I have used htaccess already to disable indexing, but the file name that shows on the media player is the exact name of the mp3, so I'm pretty sure people will be able to easily figure this out and start downloading our music.
What else can I add to htaccess to allow localhost access to the music, to stream with the flash player, but wont allow downloading of the mp3s.
This redirect works fine on Apache 2.2.8, but doesn't work on Apache 1.3.41
The following is the entry from error_log: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^sap-latest-news/([0-9]*)/([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*).htm$'
A simple Rewrite is working fine in Apache 1.3, but the above regualar expression doesn't seem to be working on Apache 1.3. Does anyone know whether Apache 1.3 doesn't support it?
Not sure if this is an Apache issue but I'm guessing it is. I also have cPanel on this server.
I made a PHP script and placed it on my server. This script has a function that will create a new file on the server, say a .txt file with information in it. When I go to do anything with that file that is created such as edit it, I get a permission denied from the server.
Someone guessed that it is possible that when the PHP file is creating a new file on the server, it automatically places its permissions under root/apache, making it inaccessible for the cPanel user... if this were the case how could I potentially solve this issue?
I am trying to change permissions on my perl and CGI files to execute them for my website.
I have a laptop I am using as my server. It has Windows Server 2003. I have Apache, and Active Perl. IIS is disabled. My website loads just fine.. I just cant change the permissions or find out how.
How do I change the permissions on my perl and cgi files?
I have installed phpmyadmin, and i tried placing the folder both in /var/www/xxx/xxx/ and /var/www/ and neither seem to work.
How I can get it to show up in the /var/www/xxx/xxx so i can just access from my.site.name/phpmyadmin
Even more preferred would be keeping it in the /var/www/ folder, but still being able to access my site at my.site.name/index.php and my phpadmin by my.site.name/phpmyadmin
We have several sites on one server. When I use the plesk wordpress manager it some how updates the User and Group permissions on folders and files with the username apache. How or what command do I run to get it to use the site username and psacln. It appears something maybe in an update or whatever has caused this issue. This only occurs with wordpress and drupal updates from the plesk interface.
What command can I run just to update the permissions to update all users to a username and psacln security settings on folders and directories.Running Plesk 12.0.18 and CentOS7
Compliments about the integration of Fail2Ban. I saw a lot of blocks on different IP addresses that tried to logon to the server. Fail2Ban is setup to monitor SSH, FTP, and some more.
It is however not possible to activate the "plesk-apache" and "plesk-apache-badbot" jails.
I receive the following error when I try to activate the jails:
Cannot activate the selected jails: f2bmng failed: ERROR NOK: ('plesk-apache',) ERROR NOK: (13, 'Permission denied') ERROR NOK: (13, 'Permission denied') ...... ERROR:f2bmng:Command '['/usr/bin/fail2ban-client', 'reload', 'plesk-apache']' returned non-zero exit status 255 ERROR:f2bmng:Failed to reload following jails due to errors in configuration: plesk-apache
When i look into the logfile of fail2ban, i see that there are no permissions for the log files: 2015-01-10 20:14:40,987 fail2ban.comm [19428]: WARNING Command ['set', 'plesk-apache', 'addlogpath', '/var/www/vhosts/system/[domainname]/logs/error_log'] has failed. Received IOError(13, 'Permission denied')
The file permissions are set as following on all the log files: -rw-r--r-- root root
I'd really like to activate Fail2Ban for Apache too.
I am running into a bit of a problem. Previously, I can add an apache handler through cPanel easily... but now I moved to mediatemplate.net and that feature isn't available on their contol panel. Since they also run apache, I figured that I can set the apache handler manually through an .htaccess file - is that possible? If so, what is the syntax that will enable me to set .html files to be handled like .php files?
There is one setback to this process - this will be a manually inserted file for every directory that I want to do the above stated file handler. Is there an easier way to do this via SSH? I don't have root access, only normal user access.
I am have trouble using .htaccess and .htpasswd to password-protect a directory on my web server. How do I use .htaccess and .htpasswd to protect a directory?
I have a directory of /flash/1.swf all the way to /flash/4000.swf on my hosting.I am trying with terrible luck to load the flash movies into the container on zomgflash dot com(avoiding possible spam) -- its all setup...it should be loading the movies...I think it's a mod_rewrite problem but I could be wrong...it's basically a clone of iwantmoar dot com(avoiding spam again) -- you'll notice when you type a number after the domain like /238 or /2898 that it loads up /flash/238.swf or /flash/2898.swf into the flash container on the iwantmoar website. That's what I'm trying to get my website to do.
I need them shown like [URL] .... in the address bar... and that would have index.php load up 1.swf in the container if that makes more sense.This is the contents of my .htaccess from my relentless googling:
to: /some-product-name (e.g. /ichiban-fairly-offensive-sweat-in-grey)
We have 1,090 products and 60+ categories so some form of .htaccess trick would be amazing to know. What I could put in the .htaccess to accomplish this.
What I want to do is this: The URL is like somedomain.sub.com/somepage/s1/s2The index.php is accessible from somedomain.sub.com/somepage/I want to send s1/s2 as $_GET['page']
Also, I don't want the URL in the address bar to change, only the url sent to the server should change. This worked well in my localhost, but on webserver (0fees.net), it doesn't work ...
I'd like to change /comp.php to /comp but I have only found articles on how to remove .php completely and I don't want to do that, only want to do it for this one file.
