Thanks breun, some "nice" bugs fixed.
Watch out!: I don't update via the Plesk panel but for those who do: Version 10 is also showing up there which must be a bug. So watch out.

EDIT: or is Plesk 10 out?

We'll definitely be getting it up and running on some test images today or tomorrow to see how well it lives with ASL. I don't foresee any issues with it though.

[-] SSL is available for subdomains, but a configuration file for SSL connection is not supported by subdomains bug is fixed.

It's cool that vhost_ssl.conf is now also supported but subdomains, but the change broke a bunch of sites for us, because Plesk used to use vhost.conf on subdomains for SSL as well before. We had to move some Apache configuration from domain's vhost.conf files to new vhost_ssl.conf files to fix this.

Thanks for the heads up breun! Very useful for everyone upgrading and suing ssl on subdomains.

New issue found.


I upgraded 2 servers on 9.5.3. Ossec's 2 proccesse's are running all the time. Taking the load up to 0.25 some times while nothing is being used on the server and the free ram seems to have droped dangerously in both boxes.

Now I am not sure if this has to do with plesk 9.5.3 or if you guys issued an update for ossec or something that could affect ossec recently.

An example :
9142 ossec 20 0 23928 2388 792 S 8.8 0.1 1:40.72 ossec-analysisd
9157 root 20 0 6612 3068 424 S 2.0 0.1 0:33.40 ossec-syscheckd


These 2 proccesses when the system is almost idle show up on the top of the top utility with an interval of 1 second in both servers !!!

[breun]

Sounds like normal OSSEC behavior to me.

[scott]

syscheckd is what watches the file system for changes, it reports that data to analysisd. You can also re-nice syscheckd manually while its running a scan (renice -p 20 <pid>)

Ditto. Thanks for sharing!
