Preferable *unix For Web Server
May 22, 2008
I`ve been playing with Debian and FreeBSD for couple weeks so far. As a noobie I`d like to ask you what distribution you prefer for web server? I know that it is said "the best is the one you know better" but in my situation it is hard to say that I really know either Debian or FreeBSD.
So what would you recommend in my situation (new to *unix topic) if I have to set web server for a company site?
I`m mostly interested in security, relatively easy to configure/secure/find info how-to, easy to update soft apache/php/mysql.

Ive recently switched from PC to OSX, i now own '2' Macs, a laptop and a G4 Quicksilver, although its CPU speed is slower and the Ram is lesser then my old PC, it performs much much quicker and more efficient.
The question is, i'm a web developer, i know very little about the back end goings on, such as System Administration, but i've got a few books on the subject which are aimed at Unix system administrators. Does UNIX cover both OSX and Linux (Debian mainly).
Eventually i want to be able to run my own server, i own a debian dedicated server, but its not my own, its the datacenter's and i dont really know enough to get down and dirty in the back end. Id like to be able to set up servers from scratch in the long run.
So would learning UNIX cover both OSX and Linux, im not bothered about Windows, i don't plant to use a Windows machine again.

I'm a Unix newbie so please forgive me if this is a really dumb question but I haven't quite been able to figure it out...
I'm trying to set up a form script to replace formmail on the server. I've set it up in the cgi-sys bin. I chmod the script 755, but when I try to call it I get 500 error messages.
I was looking at the permissions and I noticed that all the other scripts have the "wheel" setting.. such as:
197633 -rwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 3479620 Dec 22 03:04 _formmail.cgi*
The new form I added as "root" instead of "wheel":
1280150 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12342 Mar 1 21:46 mycontactform.pl*
How do I change it so that "mycontactform.pl" is in the "wheel" group so that it works? Anything else I should know/do to make this secure? I don't know enough about the permissions to change this. I want all the customers on the server to be able to use the new form.

I currently have a script with code below that works great when the permissions on the dbconnect.php file are 755. The problem with this is that anyone on the web can see this config file which contains passwords DOH! If I change it to 751, then it tells me "cannot connect". The user and group on both the page and this script are the same.
With apache, i use the setting to store http and https files in the same directory.
Any ideas how to make this a little more secure? Changing the permission to 751 would do the trick but then it breaks the script. I don't understand why the script would be running taking "other" permissions into account...it should be running with "user" permissions instead. it might even have something to do with who the apache executable is running as...
<?php
include("../../../cgi-bin/dbconnect.php");
// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$databasehost", "$dbuser", "$dbpword")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$dbname")or die("cannot select DB");

I'm currently using a SiteGround virtual private server with the following spec:
OS:CentOS (Linux)
cPanel: yes
Support:24/7
RAM: 512 MB
Accounts: 1 main
Traffic: 1,000 GB
Price/mo: $99.00
I'm hosting x2 Joomla 1.5 sites using PHP v5 with the following extensions:
Sobe2
OpenX
Community Builder
Fireboard
Virtumart
The problem is that both sites have several sizable databases, each in excess of 100k records. After uploading the first 90k records to mySQL it became apparent that performance was going to be an issue. I'm therefore considering a dedicated server, tuned for returning fast DB results.
Firstly, would a dedicated server solve my performance issues?
Secondly, what are the critical components, spec wise, that would ensure superfast DB calls?
Like everyone, I'm looking for the best value, meaning solid support, uptime and a low monthly cost. I have been recommended the following hosting partners, but would like everyones input:
site5.com
rackspace.com
iweb.com
singlehop.com
servepath.com
superbhosting.net
Rochen.com

I'm transcoding videos on a web server using ffmpeg and can successfully transcode some video formats but am having a few issues.
One of them is that I get a "Segmentation Fault" when trying to transcode a video in h.264 codec. I can't find much by searching and am wondering if that's a codec issue, or something else.
any experience with ffmpeg?

Do you have any recommendation for an open-source firewall running on Unix which could do:
- Filter and redirect incoming (with exception for some IP).
- Filter outgoing port (with exception for some local IP or MAC).
- Monitoring incoming traffic
- Monitoring outgoing traffic
- Block access from external to a list of IP
- Proxy authentification
- VPN configuration
I search for 2 days now and nothing seems to respond to these requirements. It's for a local network.

After peeking around at this board for some years, I decided to create an account.
I'm the original author of Rootkit Hunter and decided to create a new tool, named Lynis.
Lynis is an auditing tool for Unix (Linux, BSD and other). It scans the system and available software to detect security issues, bad/insecure configuration options and unsafe file(s) permissions. It tries to assist administrators in using and maintaining best practices, but also in the common things which get forgotten (like expired SSL certificates).
Though Lynis has been available for some months now, and many
updates/suggestions have been implemented, it still can use a broader user base. So my issue (we are in the technical issues section after all) is that I like more input and want to know what other people audit on their systems. Or what tools they like the most. Of course I have many ideas myself, but with the many different people here (in skills and specialties), every input is most likely improving the tool and increasing security for others as well.
In case you like to try the software (GPL, free to use), the software can be found at www . rootkit .nl (can't use URL's yet, due 5 post policy)
Since I don't only want to announce my tool (but like to have some input), I placed it in this section, hope it doesn't look like a "commercial" sell.

I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.
What I've got running:
Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix
One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.
Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??
