Dedicated IP Address And Security?
Apr 16, 2008
May I know what are the implications of not having a dedicated IP Address on a shared hosting platform?
I learnt that:
(1) a dedicated IP is required for a private SSL certificate
(2) it can be used to ftp into a site
(3) some gave it free of charge, some charge for a one-time setup, some charge a monthly cost
Question:
But will a dedicated IP address result in greater security?
Meaning that a dedicated IP will prevent other owners on the same server from coming in and accidentally browse your files?

I am wondering is there a program that can log ALL data like connections to the server commands made by that user on what ip address. I run a Managed VPS, Dedicated Server company. I only use Linux VPS (centOS, ubuntu, debian, Opensuse, and Gentoo). Dedicated Servers same as Linux a few windows servers. But I am not really worried about the dedicated server part yet. I just want a program where i can view the logs in real time if possible. I have tried Vuurmuur which looks good but its more on the lines of a firewall. I am still testing it. I am wondering is there something similare or can i just open up all ports with Vuurmuur and log everything?

I assigned a dedicated IP to my cpanel account on my VPS. I did it when I created the new account, it is not an ip associated with any nameserver ip, it's its own ip.
Once I did this, my domain keeps coming to the default cpanel 11 page instead of my webpage.
Do I need to edit a dns zone or something? I am not really quite sure what to do about it. Do I just need to wait for it to resolve or something?

I have a VPS and run few websites. I am not good in Apache and Linux. I just got a dedicated IP address for one of my domains. I like that the website opens just by typing the IP address in the address bar of the browser. How can I activate that?

My customer has an external facing Apache server that is acting as a reverse proxy to two internal applications. They have:
- external addresses for each app which resolve to different ip addresses, so app1.their_domain.com and app2.their_domain.com resolve to 77.3.170.10 and 77.3.170.11 respectively.
- the Apache server has two network interfaces with ip addresses 192.168.10.10 and 192.168.10.11
- the external ip addresses resolve to the above internal addresses
- the firewall between the Apache server and the internal app servers is configured to allow traffic from 192.168.10.10 to reach app_server1, and traffic from 192.168.10.11 to reach app_server2, both using port 7777.
I have configured a virtual host in httpd.conf for each ip, i.e.
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.10:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server1:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server1:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app1 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
and
Code:
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.11:80>
...
ProxyPass /app http://app_server2:7777/app
ProxyPassReverse /app http://app_server2:7777/app
RewriteRule ^/$ /app/app2 [R,L]
...
<VirtualHost>
This works fine in that the external address are being routed to the correct application, however the firewall is blocking requests to the second app as it appears the requests are coming from the Apache servers 'primary' ip address 192.168.10.10 instead of 192.168.10.11.
Is it possible to send requests using the ip address from the relevant VirtualHost?
Windows server 2008
Apache 2.2

I run a web hosting company and one of my servers is a LAMP server running CentOs 5. A user of mine has a Joomla installation running to manage his website and he has run into the following problem that I am puzzled by.
When Joomla adds a component or module to itself, or when a user uses the Joomla upload functionality, Joomla will add the new files under the user name "apache". This makes sense as it is the apache service running PHP that is actually creating the files.
However, when he FTP's into the account to modify these files, he doesn't have the appropriate permissions to do so as he doesn't have a root level login, just permissions on his home directory which is the site. Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, does anyone know how to change the owner/group of a directory and all of its sub directories in Linux without changing the actual permissions? I.e. some of the files in the folder have different permissions (0644 as apposed to 0755) than its parent but if I do a top down user/group change on the folder it will change everything in that folder to 0755.

I am using virtuozzo firewall to secure access.
I enter 58.27.175.211/255.255.255.0 for Source Address and Netmask for port 22.
But still I can connect using 58.181.103.217 or 58.27.151.120.
Second is it possible to enter two different ip address in source address?

I just bought a new ip address and want to setup this new ip as my server's main ip, making the 'existing main ip' as the secondary ip.
Which means, this new ip will be the server's default ip address for all services, including when connecting to other server.
I'm using CentOs 4.5 and swsoft's panels: HSPcomplete & Virtuozzo Power Panel, and Webmin.

I want to redirect a website to a particular URL so that the address bar shows the same URL and not the destination URL. I know it is possible via URL masking, however, I want it in such a way that whenever somebody clicks on any link in the website, the address bar should still show the original URL. To put it in simple words, Suppose I want to redirect [url] to [url]. Now if there is a link named contact/index.htm and somebody clicks on it the address bar should display [url]and not redirect to [url]
How can it be possible using URL Rewrite method in .htaccess file?

The problem usually goes like this:
- I can't access the webserver
- I'll try to restart httpd, and I'll get
Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
To fix this, I run
[root@www1 ~]# lsof -i tcp:443
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
perl 11307 apache 4u IPv6 476943447 TCP *:https (LISTEN)
There is always leftover process that is causing the restart to fail. Once i force kill the process, I am able to restart httpd properly.
Now it is ok if this just occurs once in a while, but this problem keeps repeating itself almost everyday at 4am server time (cron time?). What can I do to permanently fix this?

Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

I have an account that is going from a shared hosting account to a dedicated with theplanet and I want to transfer it. Concerns I have is that the site is using an SSL. What things do I need to watch out for when transferring. Since I don't have root access I will have to do this transfer with the account function, correct?
This site has a database and SSL, so I thought it would hopefully be easier to use the cpanel account migration tool

I have regarding hosting/designing my application. Users of my website upload highly sensitive files to the server. I'll use SSL but will that be enough since the files are not encrypted on the server. I tried to encrypt the files but that is adding a huge overhead.
My first question is - is it a good idea to store the files on the server rather than a database? My other question is regarding hosting; I'm thinking of building my own server and host it in a colo. Is colo more secure than dedicated hosting? Currently i'm still in the process of developing my App and my environment is Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2005.

I am on a shared server account with Lunar Pages basic hosting plan.
The only script file I have up running is db Masters FormM@iler. It runs on Cpanel. I deleted whatever other scripts I could find on my server. The site is just basic html pages with jpgs and a gif.
Is there much else I really need to do to secure the server or is that more in Lunar Pages' hands?
If there is still more I can do to secure the server, and is it a small amount that's easy to do or would it be wise to just hire someone else to put in a few hours making sure everything is truly set up securely?

I'm inheriting a website that is currently a mess. It was designed in Joomla, but everything about the site by the original designer, is completely a mess. Files weren't placed in their proper directory hiearchy, the site has been hacked into a few times...basically a big headache.
I'm willing to learn and my first goal is the redesign the site. Currently, I'm looking at choosing a CMS or just rebuilding it in Joomla. The problem is that the site is a big part of the business, so any down time is not good.
I have some questions I hope you experienced folks can help me with...
Does CMS choice have any bearing on whether or not its a security vulnerability? If so, which one's are "less a target" of getting hit?
I just want to design the site from scratch and make it secure as possible from suggestions on various forums. I don't want to be a security admin, but is that what I'll end up having to do to run a site like this?
What are my options between "doing it myself" vs "hiring a third party"?
The company is right now in a tween stage. Fast growth but not enough to hire a security guy, based on my talks with the CEO. I disagree with this, but what can I do in the meantime to plug the site holes?
I'm almost wanting to go commercial so I don't have all the headaches, but the company wants to save money. What can be done in those situations?
Before I go out and spend money on books, what do you recommend I buy to start getting my feet wet in what may become a future in IT security?
This is from someone who's just inherited a dedicated server with a swiss cheese website. What is the first order of business for someone who is in the dark and will not get much support in regards to spending more money?
how do I secure my site "on my own"?

I noticed that my vps had utilized 250 gig of traffic in one day [i average 5 gig per MONTH] with cpu usage of close 100%; my hosting company pinpointed one php file which had allowed an outside varibale to be placed in "include" function so that the outside php code was being run;
Is there any program/scripts that can immediately email me if cpu usage stays high
the nic card is being utilized too much memory usage exceed certain levles this way, i would know i have been hijacked in time and try to find the culprit i use knownhost with cpanel/linux mysql and php.
