Centos 5.8 Webhosting Issue

Post by feronso » 2012/12/20 09:17:00

Hi,

I purchase a VPS of centos 5.8, This VPS have Bind9 configure for DNS and Nameserver itself. as well APACHE 2.2.23, ProFTPD, Mysql 5, PhP5.

I just here to ask that I received the VPS by default disable the "SeLinux".

When i run command "setup" in ssh i got the screen for configuration. i gointo Firewall configuration and i see that that was Disable.

Its unmanaged so hosting said that they disable this due to my choice and knowledge. (I M New, but not too much) becuse i installed and configure the things that i mention above.

Most of articles simply describe that "Disable SELinux" if you don't want to face errors. but at the end they write "Its not recommended".

So i start this topic here, i also see this guide http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux#head-430e52f7f8a7b41ad5fc42a2f95d3e495d13d348 but not everything understand. Just understand that there are three modes

Enforcing
Permissive:

When i activate enforcing i m sure it will block all things. so i just want to ask you that please help me to Configure this so it will run smooth with my VPS that have 100 of PHP/MySQL/HTML Websites running.

Thanks
