suphp plesk alternative mod_ruid2 wordpress upload permission issue

by // // No Comments

 

So, you finally came here finding an alternative solution for your Plesk server for wordpress and other CMS for uploading files via web server. I will help you solving the issues, the alternatives for suphp are mpm-itk and mod_ruid2, I tried configuring mpm-itk in the plesk server but it was not supported properly, there were few sites which were diplaying blank page, so I prefer mod_ruid2 over mpm-itk for plesk environment.

First download the atomicorp repository if you dont have the latest one using the below commands. This may over write the current atomic repostory

cd /root
wget http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic
chmod +x ./atomic
./atomic

Then download the apache module mod_ruid2 via yum

 yum install mod_ruid2

then edit the config file at /etc/httpd/conf.d/ruid2.conf and add the below similar configuration into it.

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com>
RMode stat
RUidGid ftpuser psacln
RGroups psaserv
</Directory>

save the file and restart apache service.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

That’s it you are done, make a note that you need to manually add all the domain name where you need to run the website on it’s own username. Not sure if there is any other alternative to automate it.

cpanel exim stop spam

by // // 1 Comment

 

Hello,

The following cPanel/Exim configuration will help you stopping spam in the server.

1. Login to WHM control panel
2. Goto Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager
3. Enable RBL filtering by Basic Editor >> RBLs >> switch to “On” and if you like you may additional RBL from manage option.
4. Enable Sender Verification by Mail >> Sender Verification >> “On” this will check if the mail origin really exists.
5. Reject SPF failures by ACL Options >> Reject SPF failures >> “On” this will verify SPF records and if the SPF record is set to fails then the E-mails from those IPs will be rejected.
6. Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings
7. Turn “Initial default/catch-all forwarder destination” to “fail” this will fail the catch all feature to be sent to default cPanel account.
8. “Set Max hourly emails per domain” which will limit the E-mail flooding from the server(I normally set it to 70 which is good enough for a single domain for an hour).
9. Set “Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour” everyone knows that Spam E-mails will have alot of non existing E-mail which will then be deferred  so If we set this to say 50% the spamming E-mail account will be suspended temporarily if the deferred mails are above 50%.

10. Then save all the configuration this will stop most of spams in the server.
