How to modify the open_basedir setting for one domain.
by admin on May.13, 2012, under DirectAdmin
To change the open_basedir value when using php in CLI mode (not suPhp), you can do so by going to:
Admin Level -> Custom httpd configuration -> domain.com
In the top text area, insert this one line:
|?OPEN_BASEDIR_PATH=`HOME`/:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/|
which is the default value in the templates. Edit the paths in that line to meet your needs.

open_basedirFacebook Gets A $711 Million Settlement Against Spammer Sanford Wallace
by admin on May.12, 2012, under News
Back in June I wrote about a ruling against Sanford Wallace, who is one of the most well known spammers. As of today, the case as been settled and “California awarded Facebook $711 million in damages against Sanford Wallace”. Additionally, Wallace now faces possible jail time. Despite the massive settlement, it’s unlikely Wallace will ever show up in California again, or pay the settlement.
Instead, Sanford Wallace is probably moving from country to country, trying to avoid the authorities and living off money stashed in offshore accounts. Despite Sanford’s decision to hop around the world avoiding authorities, Facebook is hailing this judgment as a big win:
The ruling is the result of tireless effort by our Security and Legal teams, which work to find, expose, and prosecute the sources of spam attacks. As Sam O’Rourke, Associate General Counsel for Facebook, has stated, “We’ll go to the ends of the Earth to protect our users from spam and make sure those who send it are held accountable.” These efforts complement the sophisticated technical systems we continue to develop to limit the impact of these attacks, and where possible, block them altogether.
Facebook is currently dedicated to building advanced spam fighting systems and pursuing those individuals who attempt to scam users on the site. One of the early issues with MySpace was an overload of spam which caused people to go running from the site. Facebook in contrast has aggressively pursued spammers, and while many have slipped through the cracks, most issues are resolved quickly.
This is just one more settlement against Sanford Wallace who has already filed for bankruptcy, however it’s a big win for Facebook who has been working on this case for months now.
Updating Apache to the latest version
by admin on May.12, 2012, under DirectAdmin
You can check the current version of apache by running
httpd -v
If you wish to update your 1.3 version of apache to the most recent, run the following:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build update
./build apache_mod_ssl
If you’re using apache 2.x, use "./build apache_2" instead of apache_mod_ssl.
This should update both the configure options and the version of apache to the most recent version. Once the update has completed, you’ll need to restart apache:
RedHat:
/sbin/service httpd restart
FreeBSD:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart
