How do you block phpmyadmin from being available on port 80? I would like it to use only a secure connection on port 2222 (port that ispconfig is installed on). I gave this a try on the debian squeeze server, but it did not work: # mv /var/www/ispconfig /var/www/disabledispconfig # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
You can not run other software beside ispconfig on the ispconfig port without compromising security of your server.
I noticed that phpmyadmin is working on the ispconfig port so I wanted to just remove it from port 80. Ideally, I would like phpmyadmin to run on its own seperate port so it can be restricted with iptables. However, I have not really used phpmyadmin before so I do not know if this is possible. My Google search has given me diffent opinions on this so far.
Then you seem to use a older version of ispconfig were we had not blocked that yet. Use port 8081, this is the ispconfig apps vhost which is made to run additional apps on a ispconfig server.
I installed version 3.0.5.2 using the dclardy script that was posted elsewhere in this forum. However, I selected port 2222 for ispconfig when ispconfig asked for an installation port. It looks like I will have to reinstall ispconfig using the standard ports.
I have switched ports now and ispconfig is on port 8080. phpmyadmin is now available on: https:www.example.com:8080/phpmyadmin This is essentially what is was aiming for. However, phpmyadmin is still also available on: http:www.example.com/phpmyadmin This is what I am hoping to be able to avoid. I am not sure if the issue has arisen because I initially installed ispconfig on a nonstandard port.
