httpd.conf location on cpanel

http://forums.cpanel.net/f34/where-httpd-conf-117485.html

it is on /usr/local/apache/conf

also can be viewed using this

httpd -V

faster than original cpanel

i use nginx as cpanel wrapper.

server {

error_log /var/log/nginx/vhost-error_log warn;

# Use alternative port eg: port 2073

listen _PUBLIC_IP_:2073;

ssl on;

# redirect error page ssl

# this prevent nginx error 400 http://nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2009-August/014521.html

error_page 497 https://$host$request_uri;

#ssl on; this can be turned off since the above will automatically enable it

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/domain.pem;

ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/domain.key;

server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

access_log /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log bytes_log;

access_log /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com combined;

root /home/smartcha/public_html;

try_files $uri @backend;

#try_files $uri @redirSSL;

}

error_page 405 = @backend;

add_header X-Cache "HIT from Backend";

proxy_pass https://_PUBLIC_IP_:2083;

include proxy.inc;

}

#try n error by apis

#location @redirSSL {

#proxy_connect_timeout 15;

#proxy_redirect off;

#proxy_set_header Host $host;

#proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

#}

location @backend {

internal;

proxy_pass https://_PUBLIC_IP_:2083;

include proxy.inc;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

}

location ~ .*\.(php|jsp|cgi|pl|py)?$ {

proxy_pass https://_PUBLIC_IP_:2083;

include proxy.inc;

}

location ~ /\.ht {

deny all;

}

}

now you can access http://domain.com:2073

service nginx restart

success!!

install domainkey on cpanel

http://karthickv.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/how-to-install-domain-keys-on-a-cpanel-server/

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer username  It will install for the domain (test.com) successfully. Now you can verify it from the db record of the domain. The following new entry will be added in the db record.

vi /var/named/test.com.db  default._domainkey.username IN TXT "k=rsa; p=MHwwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADawAwaAJhAOmrn9fVOia0KET1UwIDAQAB;"  rndc reload test.com Restart exim service.

Now you can verify it by creating a new mail account test123@test.com and send an email to yahoo account, then verify the headers.

Return-Path:        Authentication-Results:  mta398.mail.re4.yahoo.com from=test.com; domainkeys=pass (ok) Received:    from mta398.mail.re4.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:49:29 -0700 DomainKey-Signature:     a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=default; d=test.com; 9BZnoI9FAPMSTPY;  From the above headers you can confirm that domain key is working fine for

http://forums.cpanel.net/f189/how-raise-maxclient-apache-2-2-16-a-170946.html

Place the limits in /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/pre_main_global.conf file for ServerLimit and MaxClients instead, then run the following commands:

Code:

cp /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.bak101029 /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf /etc/init.d/httpd restart

This will backup your current httpd.conf, run the distiller to distill the changes in the include file, rebuild Apache configuration file, then restart Apache.

how to secure tmp

Step 1: Securing /tmp
Step 1.1: Backup your fstab file

cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak

Step 1.2: Creating tmpmnt partition file (Around 1Gb in size)

cd /var
dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpMnt bs=1024 count=1048576

Step 1.3: Format the new partition

mkfs.ext3 -j /var/tmpMnt

Press Y when asked
Step 1.4: Making backup of old /tmp

cp -Rp /tmp /tmp_backup

Step 1.5: Mount the tmp filesystem

mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /var/tmpMnt /tmp

Step 1.6: Set the right permissions

chmod 0777 /tmp

Step 1.7: Copy the files back to new tmp folder

cp -Rp /tmp_backup/* /tmp/

Step 1.8: Adding new /tmp filesystem to fstab

echo "/var/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Step 2: No need for 2 tmp filesystems, so we symlink /var/tmp to /tmp

rm -rf /var/tmp/
ln -s /tmp/ /var/tmp
