way to understand and implement the steps.
If you have CSF installed, under its WHM section there is a quick security 'scan' you can run - just wondering what score you have?
I know it's not an infallible test, but the scan does test for some potentially large weaknesses hence why I'm asking here (mainly out of curiosity) what sort of scores people have.
Mine is 103/112 - the rest of the points were mainly for features I didn't want enabled for particular reasons (i.e. one of the recommendations is to force all cPanel visits to be through SSL, a feature which some clients don't want) plus sometimes it says I've got features enabled which are disabled, etc.
I'm running CSF on a Cpanel server and have questions about new features in CSF
Apache Check
Check Apache weak SSL/TLS Ciphers (SSLCipherSuite)
Results
Cipher list []. Due to weaknesses in the SSLv2 cipher you should disable SSLv2 in WHM > Apache Configuration > Global Configuration > SSLCipherSuite > Add -SSLv2 to SSLCipherSuite and/or remove +SSLv2. Do not forget to Save AND then Rebuild Configuration and Restart Apache, otherwise the changes will not take effect in httpd.conf
Can someone explain this in laymen terms? I know this is new in Cpanel. I'm already running Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.9 with suPHP enabled and mod_security as well (these rules: [url]
Also, what exactly are these CSF checks?
Check csf PT_SKIP_HTTP option
This option disables checking of processes running under apache and can limit false-positives but may then miss running exploits
Check csf SAFECHAINUPDATE option
This option closes a window of opportunity that opens when dynamic chain updates occur

I have a bare CentOS 4.4 server.
I will be only using the server to host movies.
I created a user and uploaded files via FTP. Now I just want the files visible online.
What do I need to do? Do I need to just upload and untar apache and it will work? Is it complicated? I heard lighttpd might be better than apache if I use the server to just serve movies, is that correct?
i own a dedicated server with centos and cpanel. i am afraid that one day if server crashes and my cpanel backup files would be gone.
I just want to store cpanel backup files safely somewhere online. how to do it?
Due to some recent negative experiences, one of my customers had to cancel their account with IBackup.com's Pro services. It had provided exceptional reliability and did Windows backup of the System State, Exchange Server, SQL, and provided file versions going 30 back. But I couldn't get anywhere with technical support for 2 weeks on why it would freeze during the backups. The final straw came when I installed it to a brand new server and had the same issues.
I'm looking for a suggestion on a provider that does at least file-level backups and Exchange backups. I've looked around online, read reviews, but it doesn't look like the providers do Exchange backup. I don't need mailbox-level backup, just brick-level for disaster recovery. File versions going back (in case a user makes a mistake and wants to restore an old copy) would be nice, but not required.
Does someone know some cheap online backup sites for my server? I have a 1600gb dedicated server and I can only pay trough paypal.

Anyway I was wondering about checking using a reverse ip address tool which is available for free on the internet.
It seems that anyone can just check other domains which share the same IP address on a server.
However, I have a question.
Is it possible for anyone to check other domains which have different and unique IP addresses (for each domain) BUT all reside on a same server?
(meaning the person who is searching this only checks using one IP address/domain name to find out other domain names that reside on the SAME server)
Is there a 'free tool' out there that is capable of checking this?

Do you have any ideas on why this could be occuring, or if there is something on the server which could have blacklisted his static IP, preventing him access.
I recently purchased a new server. It is supposed to have a 250G SATA II HD.
However, I have my suspicion that it could be a SCSI HD (not that it's bad, but I just want to check).
