Frontpage: Authentication failure for “/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe”

Hello,

If you are getting above mentioned erron in your apache error logs then try following that may solve your problem. The reason behind it is ’syncing’ of passwords between Cpanel/WHM and FrontPage. It usually happens when you change the cpanel password and when it wont reflect in /home/username/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd file.

Now fixed it looks as such
# -FrontPage-
username:passwordhash

Just check its encryption code of the password with the one in /etc/shadow for that user.

If it do not match then just replace that. Make sure to take the backup of your /home/username/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd file before doing ant changes in it.

Enjoy..

Securing Server Through WHM/CPanel

These are items inside of WHM/Cpanel that should be changed to secure your server.

# Server Setup =>> Tweak Settings

Check the following items:

Under Mail

Attempt to prevent pop3 connection floods

Default catch-all/default address behavior for new accounts - fail

# Goto Server Setup =>> Manage Wheel Group Users

Remove all users except for root and your main account from the wheel group.

When setting up Feature Limits for resellers in Resellers =>> Reseller Center, under Privileges always disable Allow Creation of Packages with Shell Access and enable Never allow creation of accounts with shell access; under Root Access disable All Features.

# Go to Service Configuration =>> FTP Configuration

Disable Anonymous FTP

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd:

Greetings..

If you are getting this error while installing or starting some service like

root@myserver1[/home/jayesh/check]# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd status

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
pure-ftpd (pid 18869 29155) is running…

—— ——— ——- —— ——————————————-
| PID | Login |For/Spd| What | File/IP |
—— ——— ——- —— ——————————————-
|18869 | asesoria| 00:12 | IDLE | |
| ” | ” | ” | ” | -> 1.1.1.1 |
—— ——— ——- —— ——————————————-

Then that error says that its not able to locate the (cwd) corrent working directory, so it happens because you’re still in the “check” directory which doesn’t exist anymore. Go to another directory, and you’ll see the warnings are gone. :)

Enjoy..

Configure Apache Core Dump: Apache Segmentation fault

Greetinigs,

If you are getting following erron in your apache logs

Apache/2 (WebAppBETA) child pid 1256 exit signal Segmentation fault (11

then try the below process to get it resolve. Apache supports CoreDumpDirectory directive. This controls the directory to which Apache attempts to switch before dumping core. So all I need to do is put line as follows in httpd.conf:

Open httpd.conf:

# vi httpd.conf

Add following line main config section:

CoreDumpDirectory /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump

Create a directory /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump:

# mkdir -p /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump

Set permission:

# chown httpd:appserver /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump
# chmod 0777 /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump

Please note that we are using httpd user and group appserver. Please replace it with your actual Apache user:group combination.

And restart the Apache web server:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

OR kill Apache PID:

# killall -KILL httpd

# service httpd startssl

Now you will see core dumps in /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump directory:

# ls -l /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump

Enjoy..
