HOW-TO: Secure cPanel

Luigi Ramone | 30 November, 2005 21:43

First and foremost I want to say that this is not going to make your server 100% cracker proof, there is always a possibility that somebody will find a way in. I have listed a lot of things you can do to protect your server and that will help you secure it. While securing your server you have to find a median between what is secure and what restricts your clients or websites. You can easily make your server 100% secure from remote attacks by unplugging the ethernet cable, but chances are you will not get much good with it. This is not a complete guide and I will update it when I find time or it needs it. Overall it is a very good start and it is probably more then most servers have.

If you have any problems with the guide please post them and I will try and help/update the guide. I have not included everything you can do but it is a very good start. If you need somebody to secure server please feel free to private message or email me.

All commands meant to be run in ssh will begin with "#"

HOW-TO: Apache + (phpsuexec, not required) + php4 (mod_php4 or cgi) + php5 (cgi)

Luigi Ramone | 30 November, 2005 21:18

HOW-TO updated to reflect 5.0.4 update to 5.0.5

Finally I have confirmed that this setup works!

I'm using Apache 1.3.33 (1.3.34 out, but it will not broke anything) + phpsuexec coming with cPanel + custom php 4.3.11 compiled as cgi (actually you may use the Apache Update via WHM to compile working php4 in cgi mode/phpsuexec) + custom php 5.0.5 compiled as cgi (it is easy to do as well, I will explain)

php5 works the same as php4 and it saves the permissions and etc. E.g. no problems with nobody as well.
