I see over a few hundred of these lines in /var/log/messages. The timestamp is exactly the same for every 2 lines (Proftp session- Opened and Closed). It's occuring every hour of the day. Is someone attacking the ftp daemon or something?

This is a instructional overview thread for those developers who are getting into setting up their own server with a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) setup. The linux distro referred to in this thread is a centOS (fedora|redhat) setup.
Before Anything
- Make sure that your actual RAM is the same amount that is displayed by the server (there could be some BIOS restrictions on RAM so check for that).
Linux OS Installation
- Use a server system for the type of install.
------------------------------
- Setup you partitions with care:
- Make sure that everything other than /swap is an ext3 partition type.
- /swap (usually double the amount of space that your ram has but never larger than 4 gigs.
- /tmp (700meg is ok).
- /boot (100meg is ok).
- / (leave rest of the available space in the harddrive for this).
------------------------------
- Use GRUB boot loader
- Use DCHP only if your IP address changes due to the network. If not, then assign the IP address of the box.
- Assign the netmask if DCHP is not in use.
------------------------------
- When setting up the packages, select only what you need. Most of the time it's better to just install no packages and then install everything you need by yum (yellowdog update manager). If you do not select any packages, only the 1st CD of the linux install will be needed.
Linux OS Customizing
- Create a new user and provide it a password (with # passwd). Do not create a user with a generic or commonly known names used in any daemon programs (ex. mysql, apache, admin, user, php, postgresql).
- Disable the ROOT login in SSH (this means that when you login using the other user with SSH, you'll have to $ su to the root user).
- Install "Development Tools" with yum using group install if you plan to compile your own apache. If not then install apache with yum install apache.
Apache Settings
- Disable the extensions that you're not using for your website. If the server is only hosting one website, then there is no use for Virtual Hosts.
- Set the ServerLimit value to a suitable value so that users won't get locked out of the website.
- Change the User and Group directives to the newly created user.
- Set Options +Indexes to Options -Indexes so that the contents of directories w/o an index file will not be displayed.
- Change the DocumentRoot setting to the newly created user's home (~) directory. Or if you plan to use the default (/var/www/htdocs or /var/www/html) then assign the permissions of the user to that directory.
- Add apache as a start up program when the operating system boots up (this can be set in /etc/rc.d/local).
- Setup logs accordingly. If you setup image logging and your server has 20+ images per page then your website performance can suffer.
- Setup Error Logs to a suitable level.
- If any web pages are not displaying and the web server appears to be on when accessing it from the localhost (wget http://localhost) then disable or flush the iptables (/usr/sbin/iptables --fliush). You should also set this as a start up option for the OS.
- Use mod_rewrite to use modern URLs.
MySQL Settings
- Use --skip-name-resolve.
- Use --skip-bdb (if you're not using it).
- Use --skip-innodb (if you're not using it).
- Set a log for slow queries.
- Set the max_connections to a high value.
- Do not set a user with a wildcard ip-address. Only setup users with a specific ip.
- Use Query Caching for frequently used queries.
PHP Settings
- Disable Magic Quotes.
- Disable Register Globals.
- Disable Short Tags.
- Disable ERROR REPORTING if the website is not in development mode.
- Enable HTTP Only Session Cookies.
- Set Session Cookies to only be cookies (and not URL's).
- If sessions do not work, then set the session save path to a directory where the apache user has access to.
- Use Gzip Compression.
Optimizing Concepts
- Use an optcode cache for PHP (Eaccelerator).
- Consider using a static domain for CSS and JS files (this way the same cookies for the website won't be sent on each request).
- If your website uses alot of CSS and JS files per page, bundle all of them together into one request using mod_rewrite and php [url]
- For Apache, use the lingerD module (this reduces the amount of resources that are used when an apache connection is closed).
Here are some links for optimizing your server build:

I am looking for a new supplier for colocation related stuff like shelfs, powercables, tyraps, etc etc. A shop which has most of the items which come in handy when you are in a datcenter.
Location does not really matter if they can ship :-)
Let me know where you get your stuff.

I am about to order a new VPS, and will like to have php,mysql,ruby on it. the extra thing would be tomcat 5.
First of all, I don't think that any of the clients is going to use tomcat, but it would look nice to have it there.
the VPS is something like:
Cent OS
512 Mb ram with 1,5 Gb burst
30 Gb space
Should I get tomcat installed or not?

I don't know about security on servers much, and we're setting up our new server. I have the techs doing the install stuff, but I would love to know what to install security wise. My current list:
Firewall - good free one?
Antivirus - good free one?
rootkit, some way of stopping it (anti-rootkit?)
Also, is there some sort of script which searches all cPanel accounts/files for phishing sites or spam sites etc? I swear I've seen one before, in firewall form?
Oh the server setup is going to be:
php5-CGI, fCGI, mySQL 5, apache 2.2.x, centOS, ruby on rails, django, ioncube, other php libraries, mod_rewrite, I think thats everything. (cPanel).

My host tells me that they have security to stop DDoS attacks and stuff, however today my server load jumped to 17.12 and my site went down giving me a "Network Timeout" error.
My host tells me it's my fault that I am using too many resources. The MOST my site has been on load is 3.06 and that was around lunch time a few weeks back. It's 11:43 and the server load is 17.12? I think my host is pulling my leg. I have not added ANYTHING new to my site and have not changed anything in 3 days. The load has been fine till today.
I use In Motion Hosting.

I don't quite know what to make of this, but I am getting hits to my search pages with the following:
/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Hello%21%20Perfect%20and%20
/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Hi%21%20Good%20site%20respe
There are multiple occurrences of this at any one time, and the interesting thing is that it appears to be spoofing the source IP addresses - most are all different with few exceptions.
Has anyone else seen this and know of a solution? Normally I would simply use IP deny but given the addresses appear to be spoofed and too numerous it would be futile.. I thought if I programmed OSC to quit if it matched the keywords might be a decent solution, but so far I haven't had any luck
I searched google and this forum to see if I could find out anything with no luck at all, so I'm guessing this
is fairly new.

I found a strange PHP file in a strange folder on a VPS I am using to host a few sites. I've looked through the logs but can't figure out how it got there and I've look at the code and can't make any sense of it. Can somebody take a look at the code and tell me what they think of it: .....

This month I just pruchase dedicated server, spec are AMD X2 with 1GB RAM.
On ssh, the memory result is:
root@server1 [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 883 836 47 0 163 397
-/+ buffers/cache: 275 608
Swap: 2047 0 2047
My question:
1. Why the total ram just 883MB? I think it should 1024Mb?
2. The server still empty, but why I see the total used memory is 836Mb?
I only have experience with cpanel vps and when my server empty it only use around 200MB RAM and around 400MB ram usage when my vps load with 30+ account.

A couple of days ago I came across www.just-ping.com site (it's a simple ping test site).
I tested my site avensen.com (IP: 72.232.147.154) with it, and got bad results like this one:

I'm trying to figure out if this is a network problem or a problem with my server. I don't get it, because there are no lost ICMP packets when I ping another hosts from my server, or when I ping my server from home PC.
And here is what server4sale support wrote:

What's even stranger is that when I run a just-ping.com test over 72.232.147.174 IP (a machine in the same SAVVIS data center, I guess), I get "All OK results":

I’m running RHEL 3, Apache and Cpanel. When I ran: "netstat –an" I found this in the results:
tcp 0 0 11.11.111.229:49158 11.11.111.229:80 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 11.11.111.229:49578 11.11.111.229:80 ESTABLISHED
If I’m reading this right these two unprivileged ports are open and talking to my privileged http port 80. Does this seem right? Why would these two ports on my machine have a connection. All this attention was sparked by abnormal spikes in load. Now I’m getting paranoid that something may be off even though I’m clean when scanning for rootkits etc…

I'm very new to dedicated hosting, but not to server admin in general, and have come across what seems to be to be a problem.
I'm based in the UK, and the dedi I went with is in the US, i have several VPS in the US, and I can download to them pretty consistently from a UK based server at around 5MB/s... this is on a VPS.
The dedi I signed up to lease has a 100Mb card, and a fairly well known provider, and yet the connection I get to the UK is terrible. It fluctuates wildly between 200KB/s and 5MB/s, seemingly at random, for example, downloading a 100MB file, i'll start at 500KB/s initally, and within a few seconds it might be 3.5MB/s, this could then go either way, but i'll usually end up with an average of about 800KB/s - which really seems awfully slow.
The traceroutes appear fine, there's around 110ms on ping and that is consistant, and similar to the figure the VPS get.
I've been in touch with their support, and after trying the usual suspects - including swapping the NIC - they lost interest. I was actually very impressed with them up until this point so feel pretty let down.
Is this normal? I've honestly never seen a download vary so wildly in speed. Unfortunately i'm tied in on a 3 month contract otherwise i'd drop them in a heartbeat right now.

All accounst in my dedicated server start to show a very strange error_log with the following entries:
====
[04-Nov-2009 21:28:51] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_interbase.dll' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_interbase.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 .....
====
Always when a php script is accessed, new entrie with this error above is created.
I dont understand because php script have not any relation with intebase or pgsql and my server have not this e db installed.

I've got a few machines where Apache acts really strange and curious if anyone has any suggestions. I'd love to figure this out so it can actually be deployed to a larger amount of machines and not just test instances.
- Basic Information
Apache 2.2.8 (Tried a few 2.2 versions)
PHP 5.2.6
suPHP based
Prefork Based
- Once a day at a random time Apache fails a request from remote monitoring. It comes back within a minute however is is inaccessible for that time. It sometimes gets picked up by 5 minute monitoring on the machine itself and it restarts the service obviously.
- PHP scripts fail to be killed at times resulting in memory being used. They need to be killed in order to go away.
Worker Based
- Apache can stay up forever it does not fail any requests
- PHP scripts do not get killed at a more frequent basis than in prefork. You need to `kill -9 pid` in order to get rid of the php processes.
I read about very few issues with 2.2 so I'm quite confused by this.

I have an issue I've never seen before, and hope someone here can shed some light on this odd problem.
Just brought a new server online running Apache 2.2.3. The DocumentRoot was originally set to /var/www/html but I changed it to /home/[sitename]/public_html. I've done hundreds of Apache configs before and this one is no different.
Anyhow, here's the issue:
In SSH (logged in as root), if I create a file (let's just say I do a vi index2.php, enter "test" and save), when I try to go to pull the file in my browser, I get a 403 permission denied error. However, if I create the file in /var/www/html then move it to /home/[sitename]/public_html, the file comes up fine in a browser. Same goes for JPEG images. If I wget a JPG from another site directly into /home/[sitename]/public_html, get a 403 permission denied. If I wget it into /var/www/html then move it, it loads just fine.
It's important to note that the file permissions, owner, and the actual file itself are all identical. Both directories are chowned and chmodded identically.

I run WHMCS as my billing system for my company and everything is working fine, except piping emails to WHMCS.
The people I am hosting WHMCS with are running PHP 4.4.8 and so I have the loaders for 4.4 uploaded to my account. When I try to send an email to an address that is set to pipe to WHMCS I recieve the following:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to | /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/user/domains/dephnet.com/public_html/my/pipe/pipe.php
generated by info@domain.com
local delivery failed
The following text was generated during the delivery attempts:
------ pipe to | /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/user/domains/dephnet.com/public_html/my/pipe/pipe.php

Site error: the file <b>/home/user/domains/dephnet.com/public_html/my/pipe/pipe.php</b> requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.
Now why would the script want ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so when the site works fine?
The site can be found on [url]

Lately we have been getting log entries similar to the following from different IPs all over the US:
74.249.4.234 - - [03/Jun/2008:18:12:36 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 6205 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813)"
74.249.4.234 - - [03/Jun/2008:18:12:37 -0500] "GET /scripts/javascript.js HTTP/1.1" 200 9153 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813)"
74.249.4.234 - - [03/Jun/2008:18:12:37 -0500] "GET /scripts/overlib.js HTTP/1.1" 200 50733 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813)"
That is all there is to each hit.
Obviously, the default index.php file is being loaded and is calling the javascript files, but what we can't understand is why the CSS files and images are not being downloaded as well.
Any ideas on why this would be occurring?
Caching and text based browsing are unlikely scenarios due to the quantity and varied locations of the IPs.

I have one server with multiple websites hosted on it. It's powered with Cpanel / WHM.
When I run the command 'wget mydomain.com' from this server, I download a Cpanel / WHM landing page instead of the actual homepage from mydomain.com.
I can successfully load mydomain.com in a browser. I can also run the 'wget' command from my local computer and download the correct homepage.
When I run this command from the server mydomain.com is hosted on, Apache returns the home page for the default virtual host for my IP address (ie. cpanel landing page). I encounter this same problem when using CURL or PHP Sockets.
I am behind a firewall. Could this be causing the issue? Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this?
This is a big problem as I have websites that need to use a web service from a domain hosted on the same machine.

Anyone is an expert for apf firewall here? I check my apf_log and saw it was automatically restarted every 12 hours. This is strange because the developer mode was disabled, and usually developer mode was only for 5 minutes and not for 12 hours.
Yes, the apf was restarted and function, but it's strange to see it restarted every 12 hours.

I use domain registration and Managed DNS records service from Directi.
I add A record hosting.mydomain.com to my Layeredtech server and NS records for its nameservers.
The layeredtech server is fine,all servics are up but my main site mydomain.com and hosting.mydomain.com are down.
All sites on server using ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com are unable to be accessed by majority of internet users.
Anyone got this bad experience before?

Using FreeBSD 6. These 2 lines in /etc/rc.conf resulted in not able to boot:
firewall_enable="NO"
firewall_logging="YES"
The second rule had to be comment out otherwise it wouldn't boot. I started with "firewall_enable="NO"" because I locked myself out for other reasons, so I wanted to try it step by step this time.
Is the rule wrong or is logging without an enabled firewall the problem?

I have a pretty active phpBB forum. I was looking at my stats today and I notice some strange referrals. I checked it out and it and it is a bunch of spam sites. But with a link to one of my threads in the bottom (different per spam site).
- The spam sites have nothing related to my content
- The link to the threads in my forum has no relation to each other.
- Out of all the sites to put, why mine? My forum is not a very very popular forum.
I can post the link if it will better understand the above situation.
I just like to know why and what purpose does it serve? Also is it bad for me? As it is a spam site is linking to my forum. I dunno if search engines will think my site is a spam site as well.

Users of my web site, running MD-Pro, a PostNuke (php-based) clone, suddenly started to report difficulties downloading files from the download module. We assumed it was the download module and spent ages diagnosing it, uploading fresh versions etc. After some time someone had the bright idea to see if the files could be downloaded direct (using the URLs) to eliminate the web application.
We found: Some users can download all files from the server with no problems.
Some users can download some files but not others.
So far as we can tell only MS Word files are affected, but not all.
The files on the server are not corrupted and there are no permissions issues
Disabling antivirus and firewalls locally makes no difference.
REloading fresh originals to the servedr does not help.
The host reports that no changes to the server have been made recently.
We have discovered that files in the web root are OK. The furhte down the directory structure they are, the less likely they are to download. Performance varies according to the browser in use. According to the host technical support, 'Firefox appears to be returning the data from its own cache. IE is only doing so for root. For the other places IE tries to download the file but stops receiving at exactly the same number of bytes from different locations.'
Using another server on a different host, the problem disappears so it must be due to the host setup in some way. Diagnosis is difficult because the host technical support can't reproduce it.
Platforms include Mac, Windows and Linux and browsers include IE7, Firefox and Safari.
One user with Mac isn't having problems, another with Mac is. All others reporting problems are on Windows. Users are at different locations, using different ISPs so it is unlikely there are common local problems.
The only common element I can see is that the ony files causing trouble are MS Word, though some of these do download OK
We have run out of ideas why this should be happening. How can some users have problems with the same files on the same server and others not?
What could have happened to cause this problem on a site that has been functioning correctly for several months on this server?

I got a new server (Debian Etch) and experienced 2 strange server crashes during the last month.
When it happends, I can ping my server, but I can not login and all services are down.
After reboot log files doesn't show anything unusual.
There are only 2 small html sites on this server with 10-20 visitors per day.
