Hail all,

I was thinking of editing the Control Panel scripts of the RaQ, so it can add some extra stuff to for instance... httpd.conf or so...

What do you think? Any suggestions?
I know ASPCode.net (or something like that) did it (its a username btw)...

Can you remember what files I have to edit, ASPCode.net?

Thanks

Sorry, now I remember I should come back with this info...I did try to look it up but found out I I had reformatted that disk, and didn't have the time to look on my RAQ server...

Anyway
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/Vsite.pm is the file.

In the beginning of the file is sub vsite_add which is where we should add some stuff. Scroll down to

$new_conf .= <<EOF;
<VirtualHost $addr>
ServerName $name
ServerAdmin $serveradmin
DocumentRoot $Htgroup_dir/$group/$Webdir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$addr(:80)?$my
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$name(:80)?$my
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://$name/\$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? $Htgroup_dir/$group/users/\$1/web/\$3
</VirtualHost>
EOF

Here you can add your own things like,

$new_conf .= <<EOF;
<VirtualHost $addr>
ServerName $name
ServerAdmin $serveradmin
DocumentRoot $Htgroup_dir/$group/$Webdir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$addr(:80)?$my
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$name(:80)?$my
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://$name/\$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? $Htgroup_dir/$group/users/\$1/web/\$3
<IfModule mod_throttle.c>
ThrottlePolicy Volume 20G 30d
</IfModule>
<Location /throttle-me>
SetHandler throttle-me
</Location>
php_admin_value safe_mode 1
php_admin_value open_basedir $Htgroup_dir/$group/
</VirtualHost>
EOF

Here I have set mod_throttle, php safe_mode and php_opendir

That's COOL :D

But I kinda wanted to make a field for bandwidth so I can change that every time..
So Kinda like this

<IfModule mod_throttle.c>
ThrottlePolicy Volume $trafficG 30d
</IfModule>


Get it?

Also,

php_admin_value safe_mode 1
php_admin_value open_basedir $Htgroup_dir/$group/

What does this do?...

Any other suggestions maybe?

Well all variables comes from the RAQ CP inner workings and html forms, so adding a $traffic is hard. I use a default value and then manually edit httpd.conf afterwards. Cause it does not overwrite any manual changes you have made when you change something through the CP.

Safe mode:
In short. Disables a lot of PHP functions like
exec and such so a user cant sneak into your system by using PHP code.

Open base dir. Makes sure a user cant open and read files under someone elses webroot. Base dir means just that, when opening a file, make sure it is based under $Htgroup_dir/$group/
( which is for example /home/sites/home/site10 ) otherwise don't allow it.

And it does not only mean other websites, also system files such as /etc/passwd is possible to read by default. However both safe mode and open_basedir fixes that.

More on Safe mode. Now php.net is down so I could not give you the direct link, but search for safe_mode and you will find some good info on exactly which functions are disabled when running php in safe mode.

HAVE you ever done it? If so... What should I do? :)
Are the HTML files/forms in the same directory?

No, I have not done it automatically. Well, the truth is the Cobalt sourcefiles are a mess to follow, html files, Perl library modules and CGI scripts placed at a lot of different locations. Also, cgi-scripts are used to generate some forms etc so while I was gonna try to modify it I saimply gave up.
