PHP basdir and port questions

[Paul M]

A couple of questions;

1. Is there an official way to extend the basdir protection for a domain outside of the httpdocs folder, I want some files accessible to php, but not via the web, I don't want them in /tmp.

2. Again, is there an official way to make a domain respond on another port besides 80.

Atm I edit the domains httpd.include file for these changes - but this means that they get overwritten whenever plesk rewrites the file for some reason (the Listen command is in the main httpd file, so not affected).

anyone ?

1. Yes, you can add paths to open_basedir with a vhost.conf: http://faq.sw-soft.com/article_41_432_en.html

2. You can add add'l ports (Listen directive) to the main httpd.conf

Thank you, I'll take a look at that.

I think you have misunderstood. I've added the Listen command okay, the problem is that each domains virtual host specifies port 80, like this

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80>
	ServerName   domain.co.uk:80
	ServerAlias  [url]www.domain.co.uk[/url]

I have to manually edit in port 81 ;

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80 12.34.56.78:81>
	ServerName   domain.co.uk:80
	ServerAlias  [url]www.domain.co.uk[/url]

True enough - you might want to try iptables with PREROUTING chain to redirect the specified port to port 80

Hmm, iptables, something new to play with.

I guess that means there is no way to fix it in plesk ?
