Re: httpoxy issue

The Plesk web server is basically Nginx.

You can add

Code: Select all

fastcgi_param  HTTP_PROXY         "";
to /etc/sw-cp-server/fastcgi_params.

Don't forget to reload the new configuration.

Code: Select all

systemctl reload sw-cp-server.service

Re: Totally OT but important: ICANN changes

ICANN policies have been becoming more and more insane.

The only thing you can do is ensure that that correct e-mail contact is being used in the registration.

Re: memcached

As in-memory key/value store, for caching mostly. Do understand that it's not secure if you plan on using it on a shared hosting platform.

Re: Warnings on attempt to migrate Plesk

This is a good thing, and should be painless. However, if any of your php scripts created new files on your old system they will be owned by apache.apache or apache.psacln and will need to be converted to [ftpusrrname].psacln MANUALLY once migrated. (you can also do it automatically using one of th...

Re: I need stronger authentication for users then password()

A password is a password. If you need stronger authentication, than use something else (or additionally to the password) as authentication. In any MySQL flavour, also MariaDB, you use password() for password hashing, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/password/. Protip: firewall your MySQL server.

Re: nginx, php-fpm and T_WAF in Plesk 12

If you run Apache 2.4 with MPM Event, you really don't need Nginx, and you can still use an advanced mod_security setup.

Re: Xpath error : Invalid Expression in /var/log/httpd/error

"XPath error : Invalid expression" comes from a web application. Since the line is in your Apache error_log, probably from a PHP application under mod_php running an XPath query on XML data.

Re: PG qmail - no tls?

It is absurd for an MX not to support TLS. This forces all your messages to be shouted in clear text over the internet from server to server. qmail was written before tls even existed. is it any wonder it doesnt support it? of course you could ask for your money back lol I wasn't complaining about ...

Re: Mariadb eating disk - help!

Assuming the metrics provided are correct, it seems that the disk was incredibly slow between 9:10 and 9:20. This caused processes waiting on the disk, temporarily slowing down everything. Perhaps a RAID rebuild? Hardware issues? Overbooked public cloud?

Re: CPU and Memory Usage: Connect and disconnect

Using a single connection will most likely be more efficient. However, if you keep the connection open for a long time, without really using it, you will be wasting a tiny bit of memory and an otherwise available connection slot on the database server. If you have a huge amount of concurrent request...

Re: CPU and Memory Usage: Less usage settings for my.conf

That entirely depends on your hardware and work load. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet solution. Some people dedicate their entire work to achieving the optimal settings for database servers. You could start at reading the documentation carefully, and read in on stuff like the Percona blog, b...

Re: Compact content

"COMPACT" is the default row format for InnoDB tables.

But I guess you mean something else? Compression? Although possible when using the Barracuda file format for InnoDB tables, why on earth would you want compression for your databases?

Re: Database Encryption

Table-level encryption is possible with MariaDB 10.1. See https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/data-at-rest-encryption/ If you do not want to use this feature, or if you are (most likely) on an older MySQL/MariaDB version you could use an encrypted file system.

Re: bugette in ASL clamd.conf in Centos 7

This is a bug in the package from Atomic.

A package should never manually create files or directories in /run (or /var/run, which is a symlink to /run) on installation. Systemd with tmpfiles is the way to go, see "man tmpfiles.d".
