Hi,

I am one of you that was infected due to security failures in Roundcube. Hopefully I managed to update and wont be disturbed anymore.

But I wont use Roundcube in the future, so i would like to remove it. I dont know how to do in a proper way, please help.

Ive stopped dovecot and exim, beause I dont use mail on my server. That means I dont get any messages from DA either, like security alerts. So is there any way to configure DA with an external SMTP, and a mail account?

When I was about to update Roundcube DA mentioned "old customapache" and "newer custombuild". I dont know what this means, what do I have?

Best regards!
 
Hello,

You can remove roundcube simply by deleting it.
Code: 
rm -rf /var/www/html/roundcube*
You can shut off exim and dovecot via Admin Level -> Services Monitor

Be sure to disable the boot scripts in /etc/init.d/exim /etc/init.d/dovecot (chmod them to 0 will work)

Outgoing email will still be able to be sent from command line calls, so setup exim to send through a specific smtp server:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=153

customapache is for apache 1.3, php4, vm-pop3d.. and custombuild (recommended) is for apache 2.2 and php5, dovecot.

Get rid of Roundcube and all problems

Thanks!!

I thought I had solved the problem with my server but at midnight the httpd process was stopped again.

Now I have rm all sess_* in /tmp and rm -rf /var/www/html/roundcube*

I dont know what to do furthermore. Is it enough? Please help.


Ok, when I configure exim with an external smtp, where should I configure the authentication? Because the external smtp I am about to use, is on port 2525 and I must use a registered email account. The mail that DA it selfs sends (like system messages, security alerts etc), how can I get the to be sent through my external smtp?
 
If you just rename it can still be accessed. Bots will still scan it.

Why not put an .htaccess in it if you do that

With the following:

order deny,allow
deny from all
 
Is not accessible neither browsable if you do this


[root@DA-Server /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates]# vi httpd.conf
#Alias /roundcube /var/www/html/roundcube/
Click to expand...

It works for me.


Greetings
 
After restar httpd I get this message.


# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart

But the process is still running.
And when I check it using the web Se Monitor is running
 
What is still running? What are you trying to do? What did you do to reach your goal?

It's impossible to help you when you reply to a thread with no posts for 2-1/2 years; there have been many software and configuration changes since then.
