KLOXO: Open Source Alternative to cPanel

Tips June 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

After a few months without posts I've been talking about something different, an alternative to cPanel and open source in this case, ie, free and open source . Although cPanel is the single most comprehensive control panel for hosting on Linux servers, I believe that we should not close our eyes to options available.

It's been a few days I've been testing the Kloxo on a VPS and the performance is truly enviable. With approximately 10 sites hosted VPS consumes very little RAM, CPU and amount of processes running average is 50.

With an easy installation and low levels of the requirements Kloxo is a good alternative to host personal sites or manage a small portfolio of clients, I believe it is a great panel to agencies. Since the beginning of my tests I found solutions to problems or tips easily using Google, Official Wiki or Forum Official . It is not a material is as vast as for cPanel, but due to small in relation to use cPanel there is enough good stuff available, including resource optimization tips .

The Kloxo has a past that may scare some users. In 2009 there was a controversial attack on the servers of a company that used the panel HyperVM , developed by the same company that developed the LXadmin (Kloxo). After this invasion occurred the tragic death of the founder of Lxlabs (developer of HyperVM and LXadmin (Kloxo)) and then formed a consortium called LxCenter who continued to both panels in open source format.

I believe this is past and we should give a chance to test it Kloxo and analyzing their potential. You can contribute by reporting bugs to the project by clicking here and donating by clicking here .

An interesting difference is the possibility Kloxo slave servers to register and manage all clients from a single panel.

Certainly within the limitations Kloxo does its job very well and with a possible increase in the number of users can be a good commercial alternative to cPanel. Below are the services available Kloxo:

E-mail: Qmail and Courier-IMAP

Web: Apache or Lighthttpd

DNS: Bind or djbdns

Spam: SpamAssassin or bogofilter

FTP: Pure-FTPD

Below is a gallery of screenshots taken by me:

Until next time!

How to install and configure the CSF

Tips , Tutorials December 10, 2010 | 7 Comments

Unfortunately not all people have the insight to understand the importance of a properly configured firewall and active, so many end up leaving that aside for protection of laziness and / or "convenience" and an hour you will pay dearly for it, you can be sure.

The CSF is a firewall solution that works intelligently and effectively protect your server from various threats.

The installation of the CSF is very simple and just to make it run the following command line:

  cd / etc; http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz wget, tar-xzf csf.tgz; cd csf; sh install.cpanel.sh

, e então execute a linha de comando: When the CSF finish installing you must edit the file / etc / csf / csf.conf the value of the line (early on) testing that will be "1" to "0", and then run the command line:

  u-csf, csf-r

Below are some commands that are basic and often used:

csf g-IP => Verify that the IP is blocked

csf-d IP "Reason - Your Name" => will block the IP in the firewall and add the comment in / etc / csf / csf.deny

csf-dr IP => command to remove the blockage of a permanent IP

csf-IP = tr> command to remove the temporary blocking of an IP

csf-a IP "Reason - Your Name" => Add an IP whitelist firewall, highly recommended to use caution and only with fixed IP.

IP grep / var / log / lfd.log => Check the reason for a temporary lock.

An important tip is that you read the comments in / etc / csf / csf.conf that has many interesting functions that can be exploited for better efficiency and even safety performance of your server.

Disable the firewall on your server should not be an option if you have any problems go behind the solution.

Hugs!
