any security tips for my first server? (complete beginner)
- by Haroldo
I'm paying for a VPS and hoping to launch my first website on it in the next few days.
I'm worried there might be some glaringly obvious security holes in the standard setup, so I'm keen to get some tips
About the only thing i know is turn off error reporting in PHP and create users/privilages for MySQL...
any more stuff along those lines?
I'm using:
cpanel and WHM
centos 5
php
mysql
google apps as mail server (so maybe i should disable built in mailer server somehow?!!)
This is my first post of Server Fault (i use stack overflow alot), I hope i'm posting this in the right place, with the right tags - please feel free to edit if i'm wrong.
Thanks guys!
