Steps to disable Telnet in a Server

Telnet is a network protocol used as "bidirectional interactive text-oriented communications" underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers.Telnet is unencrypted and sends clear text passwords and usernames through logins and should be disabled on all web servers and replaced with SSH.Some hosting providers are not disabling telnet by default but you should ensure that it has been turned off as it's a great security risk to your servers. TELNET server listens for incoming messages on port 23, and sends outgoing messages to port 23.

1. Login to your server through SSH and su to root.

2. Type pico /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

3. Look for the line: disable = no and replace with disable = yes

4. Now restart the inetd service: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

5. Turn off it through chkconfig as well because it can still start through that.
/sbin/chkconfig telnet off

6. Scan your server to ensure port 23 is closed.
nmap -sT -O localhost

Also run ps -aux | grep telnet and if you find anything other than "grep telnet" as result kill the process.

Webhosting-Linux Vs Windows

One of the most confusing thing while hosting is about the operating system , means which platform to be hosted.While move into different sites you will come to know that both Linux and windows are the top two different choices.Microsoft developed and owns the Windows operating system. Linux is open source and generally free. This means it can often be more expensive to set up and run a PHP and Perl are Linux based while ASP is based on Windows. If you opt to use ASP to power your web site, then you should go with Windows hosting. You might be told that ASP is available on Linux hosting packages and that's true. But keep in mind it might not work as well on a Linux server as it does on Windows.There are huge difference in performance basis between the two servers Linux reportedly performs faster because Windows (as usual) attempts to offer an 'all in one' package instead of the expendable Linux implementation. Developers are constantly improving both Linux and Windows so they should be fairly close in terms of features, security, and reliability for a long time. It's the people implementing them that you should be basing your decision on.

Is There a Mac Web Hosting Package?

I think by the time you reach this paragraph, you'll probably have realized that you don't really need to get a web host offering a Mac OS X web hosting package just because you're using a Mac.

500 internal server issues

It is the most common php issue.ouurs mostly on servers with suPhp or PHP running as CGI.

Check the logs so that you can quickly find the issue:

/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log /usr/local/apache/logs/suphp.log

Here are some common errors:

SoftException in Application.cpp:357: UID of script "/home/user/public_html/test.php" is smaller than min_uid SoftException in Application.cpp:422: Mismatch between target UID (511) and UID (510) of file "/home/user/public_html/test.php"

SoftException in Application.cpp:264: File "/home/user/public_html/test.php" is writeable by others

These are all permission/ownership issues, indicating that the owner of the PHP file being called in incorrect, or the permissions are higher than what is allowed in suphp.conf.

Invalid directions in .htaccess

If you’re running PHP in CGI or suPHP mode, you can’t use php_flag or php_value directives in .htaccess – you either need to use htscanner to allow Apache to parse those commands, or make php-related changes in php.ini within the user’s account. You can check the Apache error log in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log to see if you get something like this:

/home/user/public_html/.htaccess:

Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

If the error log indicates a problem with .htaccess, you need to remove the directives indicated and make sure your ssyntax is correct, and that they are in the correct places.

Incorrect ownership or permissions

You can adjust suPHP’s permissions allowances in /opt/suphp/etc/suphp.conf to allow ‘group’ and ‘other’ writable permissions if it’s necessary by modifying these values:

allow_file_group_writeable=false
allow_file_others_writeable=false
allow_directory_group_writeable=false
allow_directory_others_writeable=false

If the problem is with the min_uid value being too low (such as if you’re running a PHP script as root), you can also modify the “min_uid” and “min_gid” values to be more permissive. Changing anything in the suphp.conf requires a restart of Apache.

SuPHP binary missing its “sticky” permissions

Take a look at the suphp binary. It should look a bit like this, and in most shells, will be highlighted in red:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 341K Mar 30 12:25 /opt/suphp/sbin/suphp*

If it’s missing the ‘s’ in the permissions column, you need to re-add the sticky bit to allow users on the system to execute it properly:

chmod +s /opt/suphp/sbin/suphp
