I'm experiencing this really strange problem which has something to do with hostname lookups in PHP. When Apache has been running for some time hostname lookups tends to stop working. This is the error message given from a site: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL...

Is it possible to redirect local mysql traffic to another machine? We need to move MySQL to a dedicated machine without to much trouble for the existing customers. For all of those customers connecting to localhost, would it be possible to tranparently redirect that traffic to the dedicated machine?

How do I prevent users from logging into ProFTPd with their unix account? I have tried "AuthPAM off" but that configuration directive is unknown. I'm running FreeBSD.

Yesterday one of our server crashed. I logged into DRAC console and rebooted the machine. A few minutes it crashed again so I rebooted once more. Then it crashed again a few minutes later but this time I managed to get a screenshot of the terminal. This is what it said: Fatal trap 12: page...

I noticed that on the most recent DA installations the exim mainlog does not show the deny message when a mail is rejected. On our old system it says: But on our newer system it says: I would like to know why this ain't working anymore. It seems like it does work on Exim version 4.53 but not...

I was thinking of only enable SSH login with keys (and remove password authentication). A simple DA plugin will then be used by the customers for ssh keys administration. The plugin will only accept keys which is password protected. What do you think, will the server be more secure with this setup?

A user tries to run a perl script in her cgi-bin directory but we only get Internal Server Error (classical perl/cgi error message). Her error_log says this: What does it mean by "failed to open log file"?? Which log file? It certainly writes to the vhost's error_log. The cgi-bin directory...

Apache is freaking out The symptom is very much like the thread "apache high load problems" in this forum but I would like to start a new thread. It happends randomly as it seems, often twice a day. The first thing that happends is that I get an SMS alarm saying the mail server is down or...

I'm having some problems to fork a process to the background from a DA plugin I'm writing. It all comes down to the following: I have a test.php script which contains: #!/usr/local/bin/php -c /usr/local/lib/php.ini <?php echo system("nohup nice -n 20 /usr/bin/sa-learn --spam --dbpath...

I'm having some problem with one of our servers which reports very high disk usage. I'm using the tool gstat, check output: dT: 0.510 flag_I 500000us sizeof 240 i -1 L(q) ops/s r/s kBps ms/r w/s kBps ms/w %busy Name 9 73 47 501 150.0 25 965 105.8...

Is there any good substitute to PDFLib (a PDF Library to use with PHP)? We don't want to pay several thousand euros for this software just because a few customers needs it. So my question, is there any good alternative out there?

I decided to write a plugin for DA with which users can learn spamassassin using mail in any of their mailboxes. I have done the GUI and now it struck me, the IMAP folders are only readable by root. The inbox (in /home/[USER]/mail/[DOMAIN]/) is readable by the user but not any IMAP folder. And...

First of all, install phpMyAdmin on a machine where it should run. This HowTo does not cover this procedure. So now we have to make sure that this host is added to every new database that is created. This is done with the custom script database_create_post.sh. My scripts are written in perl so I...

I would really love the feature to be able to offer different MySQL hosts for a DA user. A pseudo mysql.conf: host_1=mysql50.domain.tld version_1="MySQL 5.0" user_1=da_admin passwd_1=password host_2=mysql41.domain.tld version_2="MySQL 4.1" user_2=da_admin passwd_2=passwordThen when I user wants...

Hi, I wrote this in another thread but when I noticed the thread was rather old I though I might dedicated a new thread for the scripts. I have extended the scripts for enabling SpamAssassin by default for new users. I wanted to also be able to add default values for where a spam should be sent...

Users with web applications like Joomla with most likely encounter problems with permissions if they would like to remove or edit files within a component/module they have installed because it's owned by the webserver user. Some use suPHP to solve this but we've had very bad experience with this...

I've heard that a prefix in open_basedir will include every subdirectory for that prefix/directory but that's not the case on our servers. Here I'm trying to include a file home/web25518/domains/forsakrad.se/public_html/aleborgtest/incdir/incthis.php which is indeed in allowed path(s)...

One of our customer complains that he can't append header to his mailinglist. I have created a test list with both header and footer but when posting in the list it doesn't show. A bit of the list configuration file: Do you want to see more from this configuration file? I have tried the same...

In the default open_basedir we have /tmp/ but this doesn't seem to work on FreeBSD as our customers getting this error: To fix this I have to edit the users httpd.conf and add /tmp without trailing slash but as soon as we rewrite httpd configuration the old default open_basedir overwrites my...

Hi, I'm currently installing DA on a few machines running the latest stable FreeBSD version. The first thing I do is to get the latest stable source and then recompile/install new kernel and world. And as for a few days ago the tag RELENG_6 fetches 6.2-PRERELEASE and DirectAdmin can't seem to...
