Recently I had to test clamd/clamAV to do this today just to make sure my antivirus scanner was working. I’m a big fan of not installing antivirus software for e-mails, because I strongly believe SpamAssassin eliminates it however, sometimes your clients or e-mails have been around for years – and these days it’s getting even harder to eliminate spam and viruses.
Please upgrade to VestaCP release 20. A security flaw currently affecting servers is present in release < 20. If upgrade is not yet available, please patch.
I decided to create the perfect VestaCP server installer script (in my opinion) for CentOS 7 (I have only tried it on CentOS 7). Basically, you run it, it asks a few questions and then it sets up a perfect server including CSF, Monit and PHP 7 (if you want it). Amazing, right?
TextBelt is a free service whereby you can receive SMS messages for free. It’s as simple as this:
curl -X POST http://textbelt.com/text \ -d number=5551234567 \ -d "message=I sent this message for free with textbelt.com"
So wouldn’t this be cool if we could integrate this with Monit? Well I did just that. With a few lines of code you can receive SMS messages when one of your monit programs goes offline.
VestaCP comes prepacked with PHP-FPM (if you select the option when installing) which manages PHP processes. By default it spawns processes that stay alive constantly eating memory. We can further optimise the PHP-FPM settings by tweaking the configuration that’s made when adding a new domain name in an attempt to reduce PHP-FPM memory usage. (more…)
Tested on Debian, Ubuntu, and CentOS… how to install CSF on VestaCP.
THIS SCRIPT IS FOR Vesta 0.9.8-15, Vesta 0.9.8-16, Vesta 0.9.8-17, Vesta 0.9.8-18 and Vesta 0.9.8-19.
IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO BACKUP EVERYTHING. BACKUP CSF + VESTA

Fast-cgi .user.ini files work like .htaccess files.
From PHP version 5.3.0 you can use .user.ini instead of .htaccess files. Fast-CGI reads this file by default every 300 seconds (5 minutes). (more…)
Receiving the above (AH01627) error?
You have a misconfiguration usually in .htaccess. It usually happens when you’ve upgraded Apache. (more…)
