I haven't really messed with FreeBSD very much, but I'm picking up a FreeBSD server and needed to know of a good free firewall for it.
On my CentOS/Debian servers I use CSF and have had good luck with it, so I would like something like that if there is one out there.
I m configuring webserver on FreeBSD with Apache2.2+mysql50-server+php. What are the things that i can take into consideration for securing the web services and my server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to request from people here that use FreeBSD to give us some tips of what should we do to protect and secure our FreeBSD dedicated servers.. I know there are many threads about it and i have searched them, but none of them are talking specifically for FreeBSD (most of them are for linux) and i would like to know exactly what do so as to be 100% protected..
If possible give and some tutorials or sites with tutorials so as to help us..
i am going to run a personal dedicated server which means that none else except me will have access to the server (if that helps you to give more specific info)
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.
whether if i will an increase in performance or security if I upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0?

Can anyone recommend a good VPS provider that meets the above requirements?

gAs per MySQL official page [url]
there is no MySQL 5.0.51 available for FreeBSD.
The latest available version is 5.0.45
5.0.51 was officially released more than a month ago.
We are basically looking for advice on which OS to choose. CentOS appeals as it is basically RHEL - and since people are paying for that they must be doing something right. It is apparently uber stable because the versions have been tested to death... but because the packages are so out of date, or just not there, we will need to install many things from source, which defeats the point to using it for its stability.
FreeBSD seems to have an awful lot of up to date packages, took a look at it on Distrowatch and was very impressed by many are the latest versions. This would make life so much easier because the package manager can handle installs and updates, really can't be bothered with messing around compiling software for install/updates.
In my mind, if an open source project as mature as the likes of Apache, PHP or MySQL, I am pretty sure you are very unlikely to experience problems by using the latest stable version. Surely by using older versions you are more likely to experience problems as of the result of bugs/security exploits that have only been fixed in the more recent releases.
Would you use FreeBSD or CentOS/RHEL? Or are both equally as good?

I've been using FreeBSD for a while now, but I still feel like a novice when looking at top because I don't understand or know what all of the STATES mean. I know that many of them represent different kernal states and certain programs have their own unique STATES, but what do the usuals mean? man top only has 2-3 listed with very vague descriptions.
Does anyone here understand many of them? If so it would be greatly appreciated if you could write up a few of the basic ones.
select
nanslp
kserel
RUN
pause
lockf
kqread
sbwait
pipered
Those are the ones I currently see in top. I know there are probably thosands of others, but those are the ones I usally look at.
after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)
...
Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,
Infact:
Code:
'./configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:
Code:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17
Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so
I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:
Code:
bsd# ffmpeg -v
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard

After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).
However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:

After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.
The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?
Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?
I plan to install one server with RAID with that run on a dedicated card which support FreeBSD. As i have not much experience in this,
View 4 Replies View Relatedi created a new cron job with "crontab -e" command by using the "root" user.

i tried it for php -q too. while i type this command on the shell the php file works. there is no problem with crontab rule too. the chmod of file.php is 777, user root group wheel..

i created a shell file and changed the cron like:

so, /path/anydir have been created but file.php not executed. so the problem is not about cron rule.

I've been a web developer for some years now, and I've been working with PHP/MySQL in Linux quite a lot, but I've never worked with Linux. But now, I'm in a project where the last programmer was a FreeBSD-guru, but not so good in PHP/MySQL, so they hired me to take over. So the project is hosted on a dedicated FreeBSD-server, and I need to get all sftp-accounts and change them. How do I do that? I have root-access with PuTTY, and I know the basic commands, but I don't know where to start looking for account-settings. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?

I was playing with a backup machine I have today. It's been running FreeBSD 6.3 a while now. I just realised today that CPUTYPE in make.conf was set wrong. When I set it to what it should be, according to the list of valid values, I got odd errors during world and kernel rebuilds, along with some from some ports. I googled it and found many people do not suggest setting that directive in make.conf. May I ask if anybody has experience with this, and what impact it would have on my box should I remove the directive and recompile?
