View 1 RepliesI uploaded my file to web server(html, image file and css file), but strangely after uploaded it to server all file that I uploaded size 0 KB. I uploaded it using WS FTP.
Is there something wrong the way I uploaded it.
I want to filter any files uploaded and i have put this line at php.ini
suhosin.upload.verification_script = /my path
But my problem till now i can not make this script. (Disable upload php files)
I used to have my apache 1.3.37 with PHP compiled as a CGI. Whenever i have a php script (say vbulletin forum software) that allow file uploads, files will be uploaded with the correct userid and groupid on the server. However, once i compiled PHP as ISAPI module, the files will be uploaded but will be owned by 'nobody'. Of course i can log in as root and chown it back to the right user, but it's a hassle if there are multiple user accounts on the server and they're using php software on their end. If someone is using an ftp program and tries to overwrite that uploaded file that's owned by nobody, it will not let them do so. Is there a way to fix this, or change the config files that would fix it?

Today I was contacted by someone; "Are you the owner of xxxx.net?" so I informed that yes, it was my server and they then showed me an email they'd received from my server. I did a search and apparently someone uploaded mail.php and a couple of files it was using to send out spam based upon a variety of conditions that the other files met. The files contained forenames and surnames, it'd use a forename and a surname then send it to popular free mail services. The email contained ramblings about new world order and promoted a website.
How can I find out how they got the files uploaded to the account and what action can I take? I checked the whois for the domain and have their contact information, however it's a large site so I'm doubtful that the owner did it. I don't want my servers IPs being blacklisted for spam :|
I am wanting to know if there is a way to stop files being uploaded to my vps, via ftp cpanel etc that are malicious..
I have been told there is a way to do this but i havent been told how..
Basicaly i want to know if there is something where i can add a list of keywords that are in the malicious files and what ever it is will stop them from being uploaded or if they manage to get uploaded onto my vps will it make them not work?
I am looking into this as i had an issue before where someone uploaded a shell onto my server :@ luckily it didnt cause no damage or he didnt get anywhere but i still want to be safe.
I've recently started experiencing some issues where files uploaded through Joomla or some other scripts (mostly PHP) inherit a permission of 600. Prior to updates being done on the server I'm hosted on, uploaded files received 644 permissions and all things worked great.
I've checked the umask that assigned to the shell (022) and have ruled out that as a problem.
I am using a upload script for my files. After upload i cant see them on ftp but can see on panel file manager.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to add a maximum file size limit of 10mb to all files uploaded via cpanel, php scripts or ftp.
I am currently running cpanel and whm on a linux server.
how i can do this. (i have root access)
I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.
I created a FTP account with vsftp and files uploaded are not readable via www-data
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have found that we need to limit the amount of cpu uage by users on our video share server. On this server we currently have 20 users on a sharred plan. Thought that the obvious BW usage would be the biggest challenge, as it turns out we havent gone over the 2 TB that we have.
We have come up with an encoding process that uses the 264 codec and gives us excellent results in terms of quality but is very cpu intensive to the point of really slowing down the server when 10 or more users simutaneously are encoding their videos.
Can someone suggest a script that would allows us to limit the file size in terms of MB/GB that each user could upload per month.
So for example a client pays 10.00 per month and we wanted to limit their uploads to a total of 900 MB per month vs the client that is paying 50.00 per month who would have the ability to upload say 8 GB per month.

When I download a file from my server, only specific extensions are working. This is really annoying since I want to be able to see how much time left to finish a download.
For example I uploaded a video with .vob extension
file.vob --> does not show filesize when downloading
If I rename the same file to different extension:
file.avi --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.mp3 --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.rar --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.mp4 --> does not show filesize when downloading
file.wmv --> does not show filesize when downloading
These are direct download links, not using any download scripts or anything. Why are some extensions displaying the filesize and some not displaying them? I am using Apache 2.x server.
I been having a heck of a time just with this one cpanel server and open files limit. At first using open_files_limit did not work so I changed it to open-files-limit that seemed to work but now it rejects the value and sets its down to 65535.
Then system open files limit is 500000. I try to set it to any value about 65535 in my.cnf and here is usual error:
090630 9:32:07 [Warning] option 'open_files_limit': unsigned value 120510 adjusted to 65535
090630 9:32:07 [Warning] option 'open_files_limit': unsigned value 120510 adjusted to 65535
When I run something like the tuning-primer it shows:
Current open_files_limit = 120510 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine
But Im not sure if it is just reading my.cnf or something. I am still getting complaints from users about lost connections and I see the errors in error log. Ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find a solution to this.
How to increase the Open Files limits descriptor in Apache. In the earlier version of Cpanel, we had an option of Raise FD Size Limit to 16384, but the option no longer appear while rebuilding Apache. What is the way to do it and make the change permanent?

I'm running Plesk v12.0.18 #22 on Ubuntu 12.04.
In the plesk backup-settings I've set the max. number of backup-files to 5.
Actually Plesk doesn't limit the number of backups stored in the local repository.
So unfortunately the partition is running out of space.
What can be done to solve that problem?
Domain has PHP Settings in Plesk set to 2G and I get this error when uploading a 48MB file using Wordpress. I assume I need ot modify this manually in conf file somewhere to allow uploading large files?
Requested content-length of 48443338 is larger than the configured limit of 10240000..

One of our resellers has an account.. When looking into cpanel, it says that that account is using 3300megs. When we go into the ftp of that account, in reality it is only using 1.3megs. This is a huge difference! Most of folders are empty.
We are using the latest version of WHM and Cpanel.
I have a big problem because ban command for APF:

Doesn't working for vsftpd service (only for apache & ssh).
Code:

How can I ban this IP for vsftpd service in APF?
Which one would you consider using the most? Currently I use vsftpd and while it's fast and light, it's a real pain in the butt to add new users I've found (adding shell users except it doesn't always work). I was reading up on how to add users on pure ftp and they had something called virtual users which looked really nice...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a shared Server with apache2 and php5 + suhosin +suPHP + vsftpd.
The Directory Structure is:
1. DocumentRoot
/var/www/virtual/website1
/var/www/virtual/website2
/var/www/virtual/website3
............etc
2. For each website I would create a system account and tie it to each virutal host(as required by suPHP)
chown -R John:group1 /var/www/virtual/website1
chown -R Mary:group1 /var/www/virtual/website2
chown -R Ben:group1 /var/www/virtual/website3
...........etc
<VirtualHost 192.168.100.44>
DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual/website1
ServerName www.website1.com
suPHP_UserGroup John group1
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.100.45>
DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual/website2
ServerName www.website2.com
suPHP_UserGroup Mary group1
</VirtualHost>
........etc
3. I setup vsftpd with chroot to each virtual host.
This works very nice as long as each client has only one ftp account. But if a client(website1) wants to have multiple ftp accounts( ex. john, john100, john200), they would mess up the file ownership when they upload and change files. Since suPHP executes PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners (suPHP_UserGroup John group1, suPHP would complain their setid is mismatched because the John100 is not the suPHP_USERGROUP owner(John). I have tried Virtual Hosting with Vsftpd and Mysql, that didn't work because all the virutal users would be acting as one user (guest_username=virtualftp) when they upload and change files. I am wondering if there is ways to allow multiple ftp accounts for each Virutal host working together with suPHP. Or It is possible for ftp user to change ownership once they log in.
I have been pulling my hair out all day trying to fix this issue, which should be simple in theory.
Basically in summary, vsftpd is running on the server, I can't connect to FTP from my own computer.
I have tried many things, but right now the way it stands is my vsftpd.conf file has listen=YES. I did a netstat -pan, with a return of:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 29984/vsftpd
I can telnet/FTP into port 21 locally, so vsftpd is indeed running properly, but I cannot connect from the outside at all. I have also commented out everything in /etc/hosts.allow.
At this point, I am out of ideas. And to top it all off, I'm on a tight deadline. Usually works out there way doesn't it?
working with Ubuntu (and unix/linux) in general. I have, however, managed to install vsftpd and configure it in what I believe is a correct manner.
However, upon attempting to upload a file, I get a "could not create file" error which seems to imply that I don't have permission. The account that I'm logged in under is an administrator account.
My configuration file is:
Code:
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES

With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4), are updated packages made available, or are only security patches backported? Specifically I'm interested in vsftpd. Version 2.0.1 is included in the RHEL installation on a server I'm working on, but there is a bug fix in v2.0.4 that I'd like to get access to.
Is there an easy way for me to browse / search what packages are available for RHEL 4, preferably via website?
I been using plesk, and cpanel so this is the first time I have Webmin for my CentOS.
After some googling and reading, i able to install apache, mysqld and vsftpd (for some reason, my host (hivelocity) didnt install these. So this is my setup.

I created 2 virtual servers for a.com and b.com
/home/sites/a.com/html
/home/sites/b.com/html
I create an index.php in a.com/html with content: "a.com YEAH"
I create an index.php in b.com/html with content: "b.com YEAH"
After wait for dns to propogated,
when i try to go to a.com, content "a.com YEAH" shows up.
But when goto b.com, content "a.com YEAH" shows up? Why?
Also, when goto ns1.a.com, content "a.com YEAH" is there.
