Increasing The Expiration Time For SSL Certificate For Exim
Jul 12, 2007
I issued a self-signed certificate for Exim by running the following commands:
Code:
openssl req -new -x509 -keyout /etc/exim.key.tmp -out /etc/exim.cert
openssl rsa -in /etc/exim.key.tmp -out /etc/exim.key
rm -f /etc/exim.key.tmp
service exim restart
The problem is the certificate expires after one month. I have already edited my /usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf with the following lines in order to increase this expiration time to one year and it worked for the SSL certificate issued for Apache, but it has no effect on the Exim certificate.
Code:
default_days = 365 # how long to certify for
default_crl_days= 365 # how long before next CRL
Should I edit another file or set it on another place? Does anyone know?
I wish to auto shut the expired accounts on server, cpanel does not have any such functionality so i could not do this. Once i posted in this forum and recommendation was to install the billing software for cpanel/whm. After I found they are comprehensive products and not easy to use/install/troubleshoot.
I just want to set the expiration of domains in WHM so when they complete their tenure they should be closed it self. Could you people advise what can i do this with minimum efforts?
I dont need any billing system just to handle expiration of accounts.
I would appreciate if you can give me a stable solution with product name as i am concerned about my server stability and security as well. [url]
I have a website where people perform a number of tasks, saving some data to temporary session files. If the user is idle for a certain amount of time, then performs an action, his/her work will be gone.
I'd like to set the sessions to never expire, so that only a browser close would delete the temporary files.
I've tried looking around in the IIS manager, but I cannot find a way to do this.
I define expiration date for my package in my domain and after that date my domain still active. I think this problem related to statistic. When I run this command manullay i'v got the error.
I have total 5GB space wherein I can host unlimited domains.
When I uploaded my files ( for 4 sites ) I saw that I have used total 16 MB. But today when I logged in there I noticed that the cPanel shows that I have used total 22.75 MB
But I didn't upload anything that may take upto 6MB space
I just uploaded few images that may take maximum 100KB.
My hosting provider said this
"The extra disk space could be email messages stored on the server, mysql database files, etc... All these things are accounted for within your disk space."
But I replied that I don't use any database and I don't have any single email in my account so how that space can by consumed? Waiting for their further reply.
Right now APC shm_size is set to30 and since I am only using about 20% of the RAM in VPS, I thought it would be best to increase it a bit. Now how do I go about doing that?
I'm trying to start a website on a shoestring budget, but my programmer and host want to squeeze more out of us. We currently have a Custom VPS, w/cPanel and WHM. Everytime I try to upload a file(s) more than 10 mb, it will not go thru. My programmer told me to ask the server to increase capacity, they tell me it will cost me. My programmer says the same thing. Now if my programmer can do it, I assume it will be done through cPanel. Is there anyway I can do it myself, so for example, a file of lets say 25 mb will get uploaded? I have access to my cPanel.
Apache keeps increasing processes and when it reaches 256 value, it crashes. These are the values from our conf file. This doenst happen everyday, it occurs once or twice a week and at random timing.
Timeout 120 KeepAlive Off MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15
I enabled server-status and found request for index.html, is holding the processes. Only thing i see in access logs is ""OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)""
I have had over 4 different VPS providers and in all of them, I was always using less than 5 gigs and most of it is from the OS and the VPS files, my website is less than 400 megs of size including the backups. For some reasons, my Disk Quota is at 8.3 gigs and it was at 8.2 gigs yesterday. My website's files are not that big and the Database is like 30 megs and the backups are compressed so they are like 4 megs. The problem is that I really don't know what files are making my Disk Quota to go up since I haven't uploaded anything or download files to my VPS.
floodkoruma is a script which securing our servers from syn floods. But I couldnt understand our connection lost from server on that screen. Last screen is it.

as you can see I rebooted from apc server. But before it

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 60.410.687 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'. You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'auto Reconnect= true' to avoid this problem.
I can't get access to a certain site. I always get the page with:
network time out - server at *** takes to long to respons. More people have noticed this and apparently it only happens to people with certain specific providers. And not all the time. Some times they DO get access eventy to they belong to the same ISP. So I guess an ISP isn't blocking access to it otherwise it would be permenantly/The site administrator insists that certain ISP's are blocking his site. He's hosting it on his own server. The domain belongs is registered at namecheap.com.
If an ISP is blocking this site (if that's possible?), that would lead to that 'network timeout' page wouldn't it?
What is the most likely reason for getting a timeout page anyway?
I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.
I have a dedicated server specs: AMD 3500+ 64 Bit CPU, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB Sata Drive. For 1 month, CPU load average reaches 40-50 value. This happens about 5-6 times in a day. When I stop httpd service for 30 seconds everything goes normal. I think this is not a DoS attack because it comes systematic, I dont believe no one makes this regularly except bots.
Maybe its a system service or a cronjob but it stops when I turn off httpd service? How can I be sure about what's making this regularly load?
I also did set up a script which mail me when load average of system goes crazy and restart httpd service. But instant restart is not working to stop load increase.
The server is going down from time to time, every 12 days or so the site hosted there is no longer accesible, everything starts with the site slowing don and down and then is not longer reachable, what we do is to request a power cycle, and with this we start all over again till next power cycle, so on so on, of course, here are my server details and more info on this:
- MySQL - 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 - Apache - 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4 - PHP - 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 - operating system: Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS
After some time emailing the support guys to barely check about what's going on, we received an email with a few things:
1.- found a few errors that likely would cause issues with Apache. The first error is: [Mon Feb 04 05:03:10 2013] [error] mod_fcgid: fcgid process manager died, restarting the server and the next error is: [Mon Feb 04 14:32:34 2013] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting ...
Both these errors seem to indicate that you have a process that is running out of control on your server. We were unable to determine what script on your site is running caused your connections to be maxed out however it does appear that before these errors were generated there was a WordPress plugin referenced in your access logs...
2.- Additionally during our review we did find that your error log for mercadodedinerousa.com is 45 GB's which is excessively large and can cause problems when Apache is trying to write a such a large file.
3.- The majority of the errors being logged are: [Wed Feb 06 12:12:31 2013] [error] [client 200.76.90.5] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts/mercadodedinerousa.com/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: [URL]
I look after a number of sites and monitor their stats. We use both webalizer and AWSTATS so we can have a comparison. Up until recently the stats for both of them where relatively the same, webalizer usually showing higher numbers as it doesn't filter bots but the progression of increase and decrease in stats was proportional. However, over the last few months a curious trend is appearing, the stats in AWSTATS are decreasing every month whereas the stats in Webalizer are increasing, the gap between them now is huge.
The Linux Server got down when the MaxClients 256 is reached. Error Log:
"server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting"
So that I have tried to increased the MaxClients Value to 500, after changed the value in httpd.conf and restart I get following error message.
" [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart WARNING: MaxClients of 500 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers, lowering MaxClients to 256. To increase, please see the ServerLimit directive."
So that I tried changed the Server limit in /usr/local/apache/include/httpd.h header file. but it seems like there is no entry.
Apache Version : 2.2.8
So I have added the ServerLimit 500 entry in httpd.conf file and restart the httpd service. But still shows the same warning mesg. Please help me regarding this.
We have the Dedicated server for Flash Game Server with following configuration.
RHEL4 OS 2GB RAM Intel(R) Xeon(R) X3210 @ 2.13GHz Cpanel Installed. Apache 2.2.8 PHP 5.2.4 MySQL 4.1.2 (MySQL Server is working in differend server)
I don't really get the differences (and it seems all companies offering SSL offer different types of certificates.. don't even know where they overlap)
Can someone recommend where I could get an SSL certificate and why I should choose between a $15/year one and $100+/year?
I am running a site that currently has a Geotrust SSL cert installed (Plesk 7.5.3). That certificate is about to expire and I am going with one from a new vendor. My question is, do I need to generate a new CSR before requesting the new certificate or do I use the CSR from the current one and just upload the new certificate file (overwriting the current one) when I get it?
