Ubuntu Servers :: PWD Protect Directory Containing Website
Jul 8, 2011
My brother and I currently use a shared server, we both connect via SSH. I store files (via SFTP) on it as I only normally use a laptop. He uses to host his own personal files and also a public website promoting his photography business. I am interested in cryptography and security and have restricted our SSH connections to require keys and use encfs to encrypt my personal folder. Comments on this are welcome.
I am struggling to work out how to protect his home folder without preventing access to his site. Normal methods prevent access entirely or require the web browser to enter a password (no good for promotion). I would like to prevent both alien users and myself from accessing his home folder but still allow his website to be functional from within this area of restricted access. Both the site and his personal files need to be protected.

In my website, I'm putting shared files in a "/global" folder. Both "styles.css" and "library.php" are in this global folder. HTML code seems to be working ok - the following bit works great to pick up a style sheet:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/global/styles.css" /> However PHP does not seem to understand my root directory. Using the following does not work:
Code:
include_once("/global/library.php");
I receive a "failed to open stream: No such file or directory" error.Spelling out the entire full path works, like so:
Code:
include_once("/srv/www/mysite/global/library.php");
But this type of code is no good as I may change servers in the future. I have my "DocumentRoot" set correctly in my sites-available file. It seems as if PHP is ignoring it. Is there a config file someplace (htaccess? Local php.ini?) where I should update my root directory for this site only? Or am I following bad form and there's a better way to do this? Relative paths don't seem like the answer here though...

Today I've found several attempt to access the following url on my website: [URL] After googleing a bit it seems that in some cases, using this attack, the bag guy is able to change the code in some of your files. it also seems to affect only a certain version of oScommerce. I don't use oScommerce, so I do believe that I'm on the safe side, but it's not the first time that I see some similar attempt of attack on my website. So to protect my self I was wondering if using .htaccess restriction would be enough?
Code:
########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits
#
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
[code]....
But I do think that these rewrite string are more specificity write to protect oScommerce site. how to protect my web site from such attach and similar?

I create music and usually gets sold world wide. I have some distributors that have been able to access a private server and get the new tunes I make to download via ftp. Well that server is getting full and I was trying to create another directory on my website itself.I created the directory. made the ".htaccess" file. Then I tried to make the htpasswd file but my server just keeps saying no command by that name.

I had issues on my last install , I couldn't boot into it cause I accidentally uninstalled python 2.6 and everything it was attached to. So I reinstalled on a separate hard drive, I can see my other file system from the media folder but the only thing in my home dir is these 2 files 1 read me that says
PHP Code:
THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA.
From the graphical desktop, click on:
or
From the command line, run:
And then this file
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop
But when I click it and try to run it I get this error

I want to password protect say a subdirectory, or a subdomain via vhost, with a username/password, but use the systems users and passwords as logins -> I want go avoid any and all .htaccess... as everyone should be doing anyway How would I go about doing this? I know my way around the apache configs fairly well, so I'm not a total newb -> I now I can use .useraccess and .pwaccess but that's flat file driven, not based off of the systems users/passwords.

I am running ubuntu server in a virtual environment (vmware) and have setup apache and got mediawiki up and running which I can access on host machine by going to 172.16.170.130. But this is only available on my host machine and not elsewhere on the network. How do I make it available to others on LAN and eventually on the internet (associated with my host IP address?)

My ISP provided me with a static IP and I went and bought a domain name with godaddy.com. The issue I'm having now is that I am getting a 403 forbidden error (You don't have permission to access / on this server). The strange part is that when I ssh into my server, and try to go to my website, everything works fine

I'd like to install an IRC server on my website (it's hosted on another server location).I can log into the server side of things but am not sure how much control I have of installing applications. I'd like an IRC that's easy to install and easy to set-up. I logged into the cPanel page of the site and found this "general server information":
Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL
Machine type: i686
Apache version: 1.3.41 (Unix)
[code]....
Unfortunately there's not an IRCd/server type of application available on the "Fantistico Deluxe" application installer feature.

So I gave up on the mail server Idea as that was too much of a headache.
So I was wondering as I have registered waloshin.com with godaddy.com how can I get an apache hosted website to appear on that domain from my server?
Do I have to configure BIND9 to do so?
While going to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ it does say that my ip address is static: Assignment:Static IP

I recently put a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 Server on an old dell I had sitting around the house with the intention of using it as an all purpose server machine (website, teamspeak, ftp, storage, etc.). I am running apache2 for the web server and want to use vsftpd to edit the website contents through FTP. The issue I am running into is that vsftp doesn't have permissions to write /var/www/ which is the default website directory. The flip-side issue is that apache2 doesn't have permission to access the /home/user/ directory which vsftp has permissions to write.
Because I am only interested in running a single website (no virtual machines/no extra IPs) fixing either apache2 permission or vsftpd permissions would fix the problem.Changing DocumentRoot to /home/user/ will make apache2 point to the new directory but I get a 403 error. I have no idea how to change application permissions.I need to use to give permissions for vsftp to write /var/www/ (vsftpd.conf is configured to allow write in home directory) OR the command I need to give permissions for apache2 to access /home/user/? I assume it is a chmod command but I have never used this and don't know what the permission codes (777, etc.) do in terms of giving me the necessary andsufficient app permissions. I don't want to give the app. too much access and risk creating some security flaw.Here are my vsftpd.conf, default (website config file) and apache2.conf.apache2.conf
Code:

I have ubuntu 10.04 running LAMP and proftpd, I can access over LAN but not when I type my domain name in. I have forwarded all necessary port to to the local ip of that box, added rules to ufw to allow traffic on those specific ports. I use dyndns for a second level domain and have used all their tools to check whether the ports are open and have the results I am looking for.
