Info

the httpd.conf file

When you create a new user, an httpd.conf file is created at /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/%user%/httpd.conf AND an include line is added to /etc/httpd/conf/extra/directadmin-vhosts.conf which includes this /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/%user%/httpd.conf file.

HOWTO

Regenerate httpd.conf of all users!

echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d

Enabling apache server-status

Check /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf.secret Then

curl --user "info:somepassword" http://localhost/server-status

Brute for monitoring and blocking

When iptables doesn't seem to know:

ipset list

Read apache server-status

Credentials are in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-info.conf.secret then use

curl
