I'm contemplating creating a website that could store extremely sensitivity information. It's more than likely that a MySQL database would house this information.
My question is. Does anybody have any experience when it comes to encrypting an entire server disk?
I've searched online with disappointing results.
As I understand it, PGP Desktop is not compatible with server os's. Also, TrueCrypt and BestCrypt containers have i/o overhead. What else is left? Environment is 2008 Server with high i/o throughput requirements..

Both uses plesk 11.5.30 version.
I'm using the "Migration & Transfer Manager" for importing everything but it does not work. The error is
Error: launchpad error (Error code = 2):

Unable to start SSH session: Unable to exchange encryption keys

Seems like an ssh problem but ssh from shell works fine in both directions.
I tried also to create public key and put into authorized_keys with no luck..
Upgrading was started not half an hour ago from the time this post goes out, all went well until the MySQL was started up. At this point it is screaming at me because it cannot access it due to a missing password. This shouldn't be to much of an issue, as you just follow this post here, [URL] .... However.. when I did that this happened.
Code:
/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password
PHP Notice: Undefined index: PARAMETERS; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/CommonPanel/Exception.php, Line: 266
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I rent through OVH, so we don't get support access or anything. We just get a 15 site license and that's it so I don't know who to turn to for this.. I haven't ever touched anything in regards to SQL and the likes, all I did was click the upgrade button and this failed me. And now I've pretty much lost everything until this is resolved.

Just say I have three parties Alice, Bob and Eve.
All parties have access to Bob's Public Key.
Alice is going to send Bob an encrypted message of either "1" or "0" (without quotes)
Eve manages to intercept Alice's message.
If Eve encrypts "1" and "0" using Bob's Public Key, will one of them be the same as Alice's encrypted message?
I have a client that is in need of a easy to use and transparent as possible method of sending encrypted email to many external clients.
They have currently been using verisign digital ID's and have not been satisfied with the amount of work necessary to send and receive encrypted email.
I would welcome any and all installable or 3rd party service recommendations on how to handle this. The would prefer that their cleints receiving the email have to do the least amount of work, in order to receive their emails.
Can anyone who is a security expert recommend the most secure option for choosing what type of "cipher" to use with our OpenVPN setup?

Are there solutions to sync folders between local and remote servers with file encryption capabilities. I mean:
<source server, unencrypted> <----sync-----> <remote server, encrypted>
I need sync similar to rsync, secured data transfer and encrypted storage on a remote server, so even root won't be able to access the data.

But how can i change other disk?
I want change the default directory for backups in /dev/sdb1 disk.
my fdisk -l output this:

I'm running Plesk 12.0.18 on Centos 7, recently I've got emails from backup service stating that it could not complete the backup due to insufficient space available on disk. Normally I have plenty of disk space available so I check the disk using the command
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 20G 2.3G 17G 13% /
/dev/md2 91G 82G 4.4G 95% /var
it seems that /var has been growing up a lot,
but if I run the command
du -sh /var
I get a total size of 5.7G (not 82G as stated before)
is Plesk calculating the wrong size or it's me using the wrong commands?
We have Plesk installed with a dedicated disk on /opt. System disk is about 20 GB, data disk is about 220 Gb.There is 190 Gb free on the data disk (mounted on /opt).
But when we try to increase allocated space for a domain, Plesk says that there's enough disk space..Is there any change or adjustement on Plesk we can do, so Plesk will check space on the good disk ?
I have a customer on a 250MB hosting plan and has been using approximately 450MB for the past few days but hasn't received a resource overuse email.

I believe there is a gap in my understanding of VPS with regards to just how much control you really have over the system. VPS gives you "root access" which typically means top-level access... but in reality, the true super user is a boot-up console user. Few VPS providers that I've investigated offer console access to your VPS while booting.
What, than, can be done about system upgrades or using advanced features like root filesystem encryption? Say, for instance, that my provider offers openSUSE 10.1 and I want 10.2. I would be loath to do such a thing if I can't reboot and watch things as it goes. What if the upgrade failed and you need to drop to a single-user mode to fix it?
Or maybe my real misunderstanding here is that you can't upgrade a system in a VPS if the provider doesn't offer the upgrade?
And what if I want my entire system (other than a boot partition) to be encrypted. This would include an encrypted root and swap. This also requires a password at bootup well before any services (like sshd) start.
Again, maybe the real answer is that I can't do that at all anyway and so it doesn't matter.
I changed the DUMP_TEMP_D directory in psa.conf.
I have set it on /var/backups and given the permission 1777.
I have rebooted the psa service and initialized the backup again but it always returns that error.
Moreover, if I run the command df -h, the tmp directory doesn't appear.
We have a lot of server with Plesk Panel 30 domains.We have migrated a website with a 2 Go disk space quota on a virtual server with Web Admin Plesk Panel License. So, we don't have field (or we don't find...) to update this value (or delete it). The website disk usage is now 2.1 Go. Every day, we have an email alert.

I have a server with two hard disks.
The centos operating system and plesk (and also apache webserver) are installed on the first hard disk.

I am runing ubuntu server 64bit with plesk v.11.5.30, phpmyadmin v.4:3.4.10.1-1.
When i try to acces phpmyadmin from : myserverIP/phpmyadmin - it gives me 500 error.
When I try to acces phpmyadmin from: mydomainserver/phpmyadmin - it saves file at login into the disk instead login. I was going through different threads on the web to solve that problem but no success at all.
I have real basic knowledge about webservers, phpmyadmin and mysql server. I am runing my first cloud server just few days.
There is no possibility to access preconfigured phpmyadmin from plesk according that thread: link So what for do I need plesk?
