Hi Kristian So can I expand the question a bit? Does CentOS (on which my Parallels installation is running) automatically update itself if patches / security fixes are released for the operating system? With thanks Justin

Hi I get these emails saying that Parallels has updated itself. What does it update? Apart from new features for Parallels itself does it update any other software on the system? E.g. the kernel, mySQL - anything? With thanks --Justin Wyllie

Thanks again Faris However I have the same problem with a user created with useradd. I created a user 'test'. Then I create an authorized_keys file under /home/test/.ssh/authorized_keys However; same problem. When I ftp in as 'test' I arrive in /home/test. In theory then I could ftp...

Thanks Faris. Point taken that the ftp users won't have shell access. I also like you tested the FTP and found that I could not get any further up the directory tree than /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld However; my authorised_keys file is under this in .ssh/authorised_keys. The home folder for...

Hi Thanks. I have taken some of these steps. And investigating whether my phone company will give me a static IP. I take your point that attacks can be sophisticated and automated. As far as packages go I will keep WordPress up to date. I had a client with Joomla 1.5 on my old server. I...

Thanks I'm just about to take the plunge. Only have one account which has SSH access. That is not root. And it uses keys instead of passwords. Only thing is I realise that once I've done this, if I lose the private key. That's it. No more SSH access. Ever. How do people normally deal with...

Faris Ok. I have generated a private/public key pair and am now logging in with my passphrase for an account 'x'. (And have prevented root ssh login by editing sshd_config). But how do I disable ssh authentication with the password for account 'x'? It is still possible to authenticate this...

OK. It seems that the default Apache configuration with Plesk (I am on Plesk 11.5) is that if there is no index.html (or index.php I think) file in the root directory of a web site it will show a file /var/www/error/noindex.html. So setting Options +Indexes either in an .htaccess file or through...

OK. You are right. I just tested again and putting a user name in ftpusers.rpmsave made no difference. Putting it in a file called ftpusers works as described by Igor. I must have got confused before. Thanks. Thanks for the tip about netstat. I found this very useful: netstat -anp I really am...

The ftpusers.rpmsave file change definitely worked. Maybe the program is looking for a file ftpusers.* ? There is no other ftpusers. anything file. Perhaps I should copy that to ftpusers.conf and make my edits there? I'd try that but.... Worse trouble though. After I run service xinetd retsart...

Thanks Igor That works. On my system the file where the users (who may not have FTP access) is stored is /etc/ftpusers.rpmsave. I had to restart the server to get this to take effect. I thought about just restarting the FTP server but I don't see it as a service in the Services Management...

Ok. Sorry. This is resolved. I have discovered how to put Apache directives in via Plesk. (By clicking on the domain name on the customer/subscriber control panel - then clicking password protected directories ). In fact; as per the documentation. The reason it didn't work was unrelated.

Hi I am just moving a site to a new Plesk controlled server. I am trying to set up basic directory protection using htpasswd. OK. This is a major edit to the original post. Having tried to get Basic Authentication working by doing it 'manually' I have discovered that Plesk offers...

Hi I am using Plesk 11.5 on Centos 6.4. I am trying to achieve directory listing. Normally I would do this by putting: Options +Indexes in a .htaccess file. This isn't working. EDIT: OK. I have found out how to add Apache directives through Plesk by going to the web server settings...

Hi I have noticed that for each new subscription I create Plesk automatically creates an FTP account. Further; I cannot delete this. (It seems the Remove button would allow me to delete additional FTP accounts but not the one added when the subscription was created). I would like: 1) To...

Hi Polmonino I think I have possibly misunderstood your question. Why not just use Apache mod_php? Mod_php can be enabled /disabled in the Apache settings. Why would you want to use PHP via Fast CGI when you could just use an Apache module? --Justin

Firewall Exstension Hi Also; just out of interest - before having installed the Firewall Extension psa-firewall is already running as a process. Presumably it is running with a default or zero configuration? Thanks again --Justin Wyllie

Hi The documentation (http://kb.parallels.com/en/111283) gives this information about psa-firewall: Configuration: /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-active.sh /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-new.sh...
