Using fail2ban to ban abusive IP's for SSH and Apache

How to automatically ban abusive ip's using fail2ban

Originally from Ensim 4.0; similar steps had to be taken after the upgrade to 4.0.2; I would assume the same follows until python 2.3 is included [it may already be; corrections welcome].

Fail2Ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address.

Here is how to get domain.com to auto automatically forward to www.domain.com add www to my url rewrite my url from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com httpd.conf configure redirect url to 'www.'

edit: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

(ignore my line numbers)
Make a backup of your original httpd.conf file in case you screw it up. You'll be able to swap em back out and get things live again in a hurry.

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.
