Running Vhosts Under Separate UIDs/GIDs With Apache2 mpm-itk On Debian Etch

Comments: 6 Running Vhosts Under Separate UIDs/GIDs With Apache2 mpm-itk On Debian Etch This article explains how you can install and configure apache2-mpm-itk on a Debian Etch server. apache2-mpm-itk is an MPM (Multi-Processing Module) for the Apache 2 web server. mpm-itk allows you to run each of your vhost under a separate UID and GID - in short, the scripts and configuration files for one vhost no longer have to be readable for all the other vhosts. mpm-itk works with mod_php because mpm-itk is based on the traditional prefork MPM, which means it's non-threaded. This means you don't need to use suExec or suPHP anymore to run a website's PHP scripts as a separate user.

However the problem I have encountered so far is, how could I reboot my computer from afar? I would be required to be in front of the computer and enter the password. I have wondered this far how I could reboot the computer remotely.

Author: jakev383 • Tags: centos, debian, fedora • Comments: 1How To Remotely Install Debian Over A RH Based Distro Ocassionally, servers need to be retasked for various reasons. It has always been a challenge when the server has a distribution other than what I need.
