If you get something along the lines of -

fatal: unable to rename temporary pack file: Permission denied
Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.
error: failed to run repack
Pushing to ….

When making a push you may have a courrupt pack file within your git repo…

Using the shell you can rebuild the "pack" files by running -

git repack -a -f

Ok – so this didnt fix the problem….

Running git push from the command line gives much more detail than "Git Gui"…

will update this post when we get to the bottom of it…

Ok – problem is with 64bit version of Msysgit – the current beta is broken (1.7.0.2),  We have reverted to Git-1.6.5.1 which doesn't exhibit the problem!

Question: My dedicated server is running ModSecurity, but one of the websites needs it turned off in order to operate correctly. How do I turn it off for just one site?

Answer: Before you proceed, keep in mind the reason you have ModSecurity installed in the first place. It is there to prevent security problems. Turning it off opens up that site and possibly even your server to attacks. The more practical approach would be to turn off certain features of ModSecurity to accommodate that site. By default, the restrictions are pretty stringent. You can ease some of them and still provide blanket security.

Nevertheless, if you insist on turning it off completely on a site, simply enter the following into an .htaccess file for ModSecurity 1:

<ifmodule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>


For ModSecurity 2, enter the following in the site’s virtual host section of the Apache configuration file:

<ifmodule mod_security2.c>
SecRuleEngine Off
</ifmodule>

Configuring and securing FC6/Plesk server with postgres.

Securing

Configure firewall to allow SSH/Plesk admin from only trused IP addresses.

Backup [TODO]

Check plesk backup locations. If needed add postgres dump.

Add transfer script to colate, compress, rotate remote files and upload the backup to the remote FTP server.

First – update software starting with Plesk, then configure yum (repros may need adding), then update all packages. Add postgres via yum.

Once yum is configured “yum update all” should get the server up-to date.
