The mod_ruid2 is a suexec module for Apache net server which takes benefit of POSIX. The mod_ruid2 will present an improved efficiency with higher safety for the web sites hosted on the server. This implies the mod_ruid2 makes the web sites load quicker and in addition enhance the safety of the web site. When utilizing this Apache module, the web sites hosted on the server ought to course of the PHP underneath the consumer possession fairly than Apache consumer, it will assist in troubleshooting numerous conditions. DirectAdmin will be configured to make use of mod_ruid2 module to have this efficiency smart and safety smart hike. When evaluating suPHP and mod_php + mod_ruid2 setup (each setups will run PHP because the consumer), the under are some great benefits of mod_ruid2 setup:

By default, this arrange has no safety, because the processes can have Apache consumer no one possession there. By enabling mod_ruid2 it will change to the consumer, fairly than no one consumer. Login to the server through command line and execute under command to ensure you run PHP as mod_php.

# grep php1_mode=mod_php /usr/native/directadmin/custombuild/choices.conf -c

It’ll give “1” as output if it runs mod_php. If it exhibits 1, then go forward to the following step.

#cd /usr/native/directadmin/custombuild/

#./construct replace

#./construct set mod_ruid2 sure

#./construct mod_ruid2

#./construct rewrite_confs

If all went superb with none errors, then it’s time to right the present recordsdata and folders permission on the server.

3) To right the possession and permissions, execute the under instructions one after the other as root consumer on the server.

# cd /usr/native/directadmin/scripts && ./set_permissions.sh user_homes

# discover /house/*/domains/*/public_html -type d -print0 | xargs -Zero chmod 755

# discover /house/*/domains/*/public_html -type f -print0 | xargs -Zero chmod 644
