      So one of our guys tracked it down. It was a typo in the .htaccess file that we received from the customer.

      You can trying using auditd to audit the file.

      sudo apt-get install auditd

      Running sudo auditctl -l by default show no rules

      Create a temporary rule to audit changes to index.php

      sudo auditctl -w /var/www/html/index.php -p rwxa # -p = read, write, execute, attributes

      Run sudo auditctl -l will show the rule that was created.
      Now run sudo ausearch -f index.php | more to show what's touching index.php
      or sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep index.php.

      What about using Ghost? I started with it before moving to Wordpress. It is completely markdown if I remember right. I liked it but didn't feel the plugin availability was there.

      This is the SSL score.
      76a95c9d-98c9-4017-b1a5-9241f011403e-image.png

      I assume this is why the A rating and not A+

      But not much to do about that since it is Cloudflare that is terminating.

      I've seen that a lot. When I import Drupal databases, I learnt to use its Backup and Migrate module instead, it works flawlessly. Downside is you need to do clean Drupal installation first, but that basically is just creating blank database and putting brick on enter key.

      And when you use -e you should have it after user and password so the SQL commands you want to execute comes after the -e.

      That was a once off artifact of me doing it on this system after the root password has been set.

      OK, so maybe this then:

      sudo mysql -e "CREATE USER [email protected] IDENTIFIED by '$DB_PASS';" sudo mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $DB_NAME.* TO [email protected];" sudo mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

      right. Updating the guide. but half tempted to leave the single quotes everywhere it that causes no error in order to protect against spaces by others. Though I am using pwgen to to this.

      It's kind of f*cked up to have spaces in user names and passwords. Personally I don't use something unless it's specifically needed but either way works.

      We use DIVI - but I'm not saying it's good or bad as I've never used another.. or WP plain.

      DIVI?

      Divi purports to be the most popular theme on WP. It's definitely popular and seems to do a lot and has decent licensing rules. But is pricey, too.

      Oh, I googled it and seen so many other things lol. I haven't heard of it before so I wasn't sure what I was looking for.

      it adds a ton to WP - including a wsyiwyg editor (if you want to use it), etc..

      S

      @IRJ You are passionate about computers, you love to write code. Well, what's more exciting than being able to create your own plugins.

      When you know that WordPress is today one of the most used CMS on the web, it would be really interesting to see how a plugin is made and to be able to create it yourself. [Check it here] (http://bit.ly/2KxPChJ)

      We got it. Had to open the Nginx logs and noticed too many "posts" in the error log. Dug in and it was three ranges overseas all hitting with a "post timeout attack." It was a light DDoS where sessions were being opened and held causing nginx to wait on a timeout. This caused Apache to just increment forever. Once we blocked those ranges, the Apache thread count started to drop for the first time, and memory started to release. And the continuous flood of nginx error logs ceased.

      If you are looking at nginx error logs, this is what you look for: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client:

      You can use this command to collect the offending IP addresses:

      grep "upstream timed out" error.log | cut -d' ' -f20

      Then use your firewall to shut them down. We are all good now! Woot.

      Well if the site is not complex then something like Grav these days is much better IMHO

      I've been eyeing Grav for a while. It does look very interesting. ANy guesses as to pros and cons vs. WordPress? Beyond the obvious flat file vs database differences...

      Ever since discovering Wiki.js, I like the idea of using git for versioning backups and deployments.
      https://github.com/trilbymedia/grav-plugin-git-sync

      You can automate backups of the MariaDB, though. Not all that much different. Lighter, on big loads. GIT is actually a very heavy process. Great for tiny things, but bad for big ones.
