I have just installed my vps with webmin on debian 5 and I need a guide to how to configure my system to use suphp, Ive googled it but not come back with any clear guide.
I better add Ive plunged in at the deepend and after the secuity breach at Vaserv, I can not take the easy option and install lxadmin any longer.
I just ordered a server which has that setup:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Dual Core
8MB RAM
2x750GB RAID 1 HD
Now I wanna run it with DirectAdmin, but obviously DirectAdmin doesn´t support the Debian 64 which is installed but only 32 bit Debian.
Now I wonder wether I could setup a Debian 32 as well on that system and if yes, wether it would give me a deficit in Performance?
Or would you rather go with CentOS 64 which Directadmin supports?
I use "suphp" on 3 servers I own with apache 2.2.6 and suddenly yesterday (15 hours ago) one of the servers show "Internal server error" on all sites.
Tried rebuilding apache and php 4 times with no fix until I came to try handling php with cgi instead. (I always like to track who is using apache processes)
well. getting to this fix was after 10 hours of all sites not working on the server.
now (5 minutes ago) I go to http://www.suphp.org to read their docs for solution to find this
Quote:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, hostmaster@marsching.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache Server at www.suphp.org Port 80
Why did this suddenly arise while No changes were done on server software or config?
I believe this happens after the first coming apache restart or something but dunno what was the reason yet
maybe suphp.org guys have to update us when their site comes back online
Webmin ...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just bought a VPS with [url], and they only offer cPanel (of which costs extra money per month). so I decided to install Webmin, which I have never used before.
how I set up my DNS servers in Webmin? I'm completely lost here.
with webmin can I use it to add FTP users to say pure ftpd? and does it work with lighttpd? If I'm thinking about it right webmin just allows us to control the service and modify the configuration files right?

we must STOP iptables service to work webmin !
also when iptables running seems apache goes down we must STOP iptable service to work apache.
I want to use whmcs with webmin as its a free utility. though i am not getting how to setup a cron job and email piping on the same. I have tried using php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.php in my scheduled cron jobs in webmin. But it everytime results in an error. Also i have tried using /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php . But still shows error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.
But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.
In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.
But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.
Webmin
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
i ordered a server today from serverbeach,
I have changed my nameservers at the domain registrar but when using the serverbeach DNS tool to use the serverbeach DNS service , its asks me for the IP of my domainname.
How do I find in webmin the IP address of the domain to be entered
I'm planning to operate my own dedicated server and bad news is I'm not much of a technical person. A friend recommends that I can use free Webmin as a front end (control panel) rather than paying for others. Do you think Webmin is suitable for newbie on this front?
View 6 Replies View Relatedmy VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased.
I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning.
First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings.
However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right?
Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this.
Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?
if its possible to use usermin and webmin for simple vps hosting ? Or can anyone recommend free or cheap panel for my linux vps.

Does anyone know of a webmin module that works with dyndns.org and updates the ip automatically?
I've tried the dyndns 0.4 module for webmin but I get errors when trying to add a hostname.
Quote:
Unsupported file or mode >./config.txt at main::../web-lib-funcs.pl line 2994
every now and again Webmin seems to become inaccessible eg. when I go to [url]it just sits there and eventually times out with a "The connection has timed out" error.
But if I use lynx from the server to access [url]it works fine, does any one have any ideas what could be causing this, if I restart the server it then starts working fine again.
what do you prefer?
fastcgi or suphp?
which one is better with suexec (in security and resource usage)?
we have installed suPHP along with suhosin on server to prevent upload of illegal scripts but still we are having problems with scripts used for phishing web sites! We have a lot of Joomla users and other php apps installed on server.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have many problem from this
i want to remove it
i had recompiled apache without it but it still working
I have a Linux server for shared hosting in which I am using Cpanel/WHM. I have PHP running as suPHP which I believe is for security. The problem I am facing is a lot of PHP based websites create load on the server and consume as much as 10% of the CPU and sometimes some script even consumes 50% CPU. I think I can reduce the load caused by the PHP scripts by installing eAccelerator. However, it does not work with PHP running as suPHP. Can anybody tell me which one should I choose of the both? Is there any other way to reduce the load on the server?

What is your advice?
I'm wondering which one is the best with cPanel and Apache 1.3.41. The server will be used for shared hosting.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI wanted to ask an advice which php handler is the most secure to have on a shared server:
dso vs cgi vs SuPHP
I currently have dso with Suexec on and few accounts are getting phishing sites uploaded so I read that SuPHP is safer. What do you recommend?
If I do change the server to SuPHP should I enable Suexec as well in the whm: Configure Suexec and PHP?
i have install suhosin and i want to know that should i install suphp too?
and
do you recomend me to install suphp?
im running my own BIND and also have Webmin installed.
whats the best way to forward one domain to another?
domain.biz forwards to domain.com
