Joomla Install - Solve Directory Permission
Jun 28, 2009
I installed Joomla today, and it went smoothly except that under Help -> System Info in the Joomla admin panel, all "Directory Permissions" are "Unwritable."
I've read up on various solutions, such as installing suphp to take care of user permissions. But if I have my own Linux VPS and I am the only user (i.e. noone else has accounts on my VPS), what is the easiest way to fix this issue? Can I just CHMOD those directories to 777 without worrying about causing a security issue? Or is there a similarly easy solution for someone like me with very basic Linux knowledge?

What is the command to change the permissions for all files contained within the same directory? I have about 100k files
located here:
/mysite.com/files/
I need to chmod all files located within the /files/ directory to 666.
What is the command for this via ssh?

I have a client who is UK based and whose readership will be mostly UK based.
They want to use Joomla and have asked me to install and configure.
I don't anticipate high traffic or needing lots of space, just need a reliable responsive host, probably UK based.
I don't want to use Fantastico automatic install. I prefer to install myself.
SSH desirable but not essential.

I have installed this several times on my server without issue and 24 hours after setting up one successfully I am no longer able to install any. Upon installation I keep getting this error message and to my knowledge nothing has been changed with the setup of the server.
Code:
Error: Installation of joomla at http://webaddress.co.uk/httpdocs failed. Non-zero exit status returned by script. Output stream: 'PHP Warning: fopen(/var/www/vhosts/webaddress.co.uk/httpdocs/httpdocs//configuration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/var/apspackages/apscataloggi4T1a.zip93a52a9b-e8bb-df/cache/scripts/file-util.php on line 15 '.

I registered my domain yesterday and the company where I registered (Webstekker) forwarded me to this website where they obviously have there websites. I wanted to start immediately with my website. I can install Wordpress properly, so will it show easy fast made html text files.
Joomla is the one I want and need to use. I tried to install it via the application tab in either httpdocs and httpdocs/joomla. I tried custom install via the application tab, but didn't work.
Then I tried to copy the files myself via FTP to the server and tried to install it again. Made MySQL databases, but I get stucked on the last installation page where it did ask me if I wanted to install some examples. Whatever I choose it won't go further. Nvm, when I go back to the domain itself, it says I have to delete the installation map (as it should ask when install is actually finished). When I delete the installation map, my domain has no content, nothing. I can however, login via the domain/administrator
So there is something installed, the back end is working, but a website also needs some frontpage right?
The domain we are talking about is[URL]

how it's possible to solve this problem: My domain name has an e-mail address that is being forged and used by a spammer, and I get an incredible amount of bounced emails to the point to bring down a Dual-Xeon with 4GB of RAM. This e-mail account has been discontinued and e-mail sent to non-existent accounts is set to be thrown away. The average server load goes through the roof in a few seconds as soon as I point the MX entries to the server. I don't have the money to set up a load-balanced system. What could I do to host this domain name and use e-mail, only allowing emails to existing email accounts?

My ISP gave me the box with /usr allocated only 8G, now is 6G used. I suppose that Cpanel will take space when I create email accounts, forwarders, maybe other stuff too.
What can I do to prevent running out of space?

I am trying to install some packages on my system and sometimes they depend on different, sometimes earlier, sometimes later versions of library packages on my system.
In that situation is it better to get the source for the package and recompile it with what you have on your system?
I am assuming that the dependent libraries the packages where compiled with were what was available on the package developer's system and do not necessarily contain new features lacking in the older versions.
Will recompling such packages from the source rpms fix the problems in most cases?
One particular group I persistently come across is the libcX.so libraries.

We've had a VPS for just over a month now. I am not going to mention the host by name (yet) but they advertise here and other people here reported liking them.
Sadly it's not my experience and I regret my purchase.
Every morning for the past few weeks, we get load spikes every 30 minutes that make our site unusable for a minute (on our VPS, any load over 1.0 is sluggish, over 2.0 is virtually unusable, over 3 is unresponsive)
Here's a series of days as an example:
[url]
The worst part about this is the host insists 1. either it's not happening or 2. they can't find it
I know it's happening because when I try to load a page on the half-hour, it takes over 13 seconds (less than 1 second normally). And it's fairly obvious it's someone doing a cron job with some nasty downloading, uploading, or maybe a massive mysql update.
Someone tell me what to tell them because this is driving me out of my mind. The load is NOT being caused by ourselves, I've made sure all our cron jobs don't happen on the exact half hour and we get lots of traffic later in the day without loads.

I have a situation like this:
There is a directory say, "Master" and inside, "Master" there is sub-directory, "Slave". A user who has access to, "Master" should be able to access, "Slave" automatically. However, a user who has access to, "Slave" should not have access to, "Master". Inside cPanel this type of protection is not possible.

I want to move the entire contents of a directory tree to another directory.
So for example we may have a directory with 15 directories inside, each directory contains files itself. I want to copy all the files from the directory tree into another directory located somewhere else one the file system. I want only the "files" to end up in the other directory and not the file structure too.
Im running CENTOS latest version.

I am in charge of making a website for a charter school. Where I stand right now is I am going to use Joomla, and I assume Fantastico. Now where I am still stuck is with a webhost. Every time I locate one that sounds good (editor's picks, and such), I read the feedback comments and find tons of complaints. Can someone recommend one please. Under $10; user friendly; accepts Paypal would be very helpful. I went to get Bluehost, as an example, from some reviews I read, and then I read the feedback section. I don't think I understand the terms enough to make a choice on my own,

I currently have a VPS in the UK that I host my clients joomla sites off and the specs of this VPS server are as below:
- 20 GB SA-SCSI Disk Space
- 350GB bandwidth
- Full root access / Parallels/WHM/cPanel
- 2 Dedicated IPs
- 384 MB SLM RA
I am now running around 10 joomla based sites off of this VPS, 5-6 of which are Ecommerce based sites. Whilst I am probably only using 10gb of the overall disk-space so far, in terms of performance, should I continue to add clients to this server or should I keep the more hungry sites on this server and move some of the less resource intensive non-ecommerce sites to another VPS? Or would it be in my best interest to upgrade to a Dedicated server where I will have all my own resources?

I have a joomla site running on a new unmanaged VPS at FutureHosting.biz and it is performing very poorly.
I am not a server admin but i copy the same CMS and database to a shared account i have access to and the site runs much faster. That shared account happens to be a SiteGround server which if possible, i would like to stay away from.
I have had bad experience with SG so i am contemplating, MidPhase, as an option for VPS support.
I was also considering LunarPages and HostGator but their recent datacenter problems and poor reviews i want to stay away from them as well.
I really want to find a quality host who has experience managing large joomla based sites.

I am going to start a new personal / business website which will feature articles along with pictures and few videos, all managed through Joomla. I recently visited the official Joomla forum and found a thread which posted guidelines on choosing a proper Joomla hosting.
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=95678
3. The most security conscious hosts turn PHP's Register Globals directive OFF by default. The next best allow you to turn it off in local .htaccess or php.ini files. A host that requires you to run a site with Register Globals ON should be avoided. This is true for any PHP enabled site, whether or not you are running Joomla!. There is a legitimate argument to be made by hosts for keeping Register Globals ON for PHP4 sites. This is that it would break too much legacy code. This argument should not be accepted for a PHP5 installation. Beginning with PHP5, the official PHP recommendation was to keep Register Globals is OFF. Note that beginning with PHP6, there will not even be a Register Globals setting, so don't get caught in a Register Globals backwater. Modify your code to work without Register Globals, and choose a host that encourages such practices.
6. Be sure users on your shared server can't view each other's files and databases, for example through shell accounts and cpanels.
7. Choose a host that provides real information about security compromises, rather than simply shutting your site down. Check their user forums for evidence of how they've responded to cracks in the past. A good host may for example, inform you immediately that a security breach has occurred and will quarantine the problem file for you, while leaving it there for further investigation. A poor host will shut your site down and provide very limited information on why. Watch out! All too many do this.
8. Be sure you have access to raw server logs. Reading these logs is a vital part of site security and recovery.
9. Choose a host that limits the number of users per machine and the average CPU load per machine to some reasonable number (depending on hardware). Be sure they proactively move user sites as needed to balance load. Check the number of domains on a server using reverse IP lookup.
10. Choose a host that manages it's own data center. Check the data center infrastructure, such as redundant Internet access, hot swappable backups, full daily backups, environment and access controls, emergency generators, etc.
11. Check that your host is not at risk of having its IP addresses blocked because it hosts porn or SMAM sites.
What alarmed me was #3, #6-#11
My Question is, how the hell am I supposed to check for these flaws? I thought I was going to settle down with Hostgator or Hostmonster, but now I am not sure.
If Hostmonster or Hostgator do not meet these requirement, can someone be kind enough to suggest some?
I don't expect that much of traffic, so I want to keep the budget minimal: below $8. I know that by limiting this budget, I am limiting the quality of hosting, but I am not ready to commit my resource to my first site: just an experimentation of my limits.

I currently have a VPS server and I run a lot of joomla based sites for my clients and having done a bit of research, mediatemple has come up as being a well-recommended hosting provider for joomla based installations in the sense that the servers are all ready and configured for joomla, where chmodding does not need to be done once a joomla installation has been done - something I find very tedious after each joomla install.
Can anyone recommend a Manage VPS provider that would fully support Joomla from the point of when its first installed and its ready to go like I have said above and also be able to keep the joomla sites running optimal performance.

I was a victim/winner due to slashdot yesterday. My site, www.electricalengineer.com runs Joomla hosted through Rackforce's dds-400l package. We thought we were under attack yesterday, but later found it to be the slashdot effect. Anyhow, google analytics show ~5700 visitors. This doesn't seem like it would be enough to slow the server to a halt, but it did. Rackforce suggested that we upgrade to a more powerful package. I'm not sure though that the following should have slowed us down: Dual Quad-Core Xeon
1GB DDR2 ECC 667 RAM
30GB on SAS/SCSI
10Mbps Dedicated Unmetered
anyone else have performance issues with Joomla?

I have a big joomla no profit site on a shared host.
Actually the site has 1500/2000 unique at month with 10.000/12.000 pages at day.
Not to much the consume of bandwith.. we have not viedo or heavy images or audio files.. so we consume 12/13 gb at month.
Probabily in the next month we cold grow for ten times... with 15.000 or more unique at day.
So in this vps must be only one site.
How much much ram could be necessary? 512?
Two things that we use.. Cpanel or Plesk ot manage this site and a daily backup on the server but we need to download a backup even 3 or 4 days in our local pc.
