Hello
I ask for information about VPS and recommendations.
I bought a VPS and I actually run a SA-MP server, Apache and MySQL, but the way that it runs actually I think that have a lot of security risks and also the versions are outdated. My OS is CentOS 5(What OS recommend me?) and I got a lot of problems trying to install the last updates of Phpmyadmin, so I'm using the version 2.11.11.3. All these are running as root user (there are problems about this?). My server connects to the database using root user and a password with all privileges and I don't remember but I changed some things to 'allow for all' in apache because it wasn't working. I have a forum and I'm not sure about the permissions. These are only applicable for what?, eg. if I have a folder with 7777(four 7 really I don't remember?) anyone can modify, put things and delete that folder? Because in the installation it says me that I must put folders with 7777 permissions to work the forum. I'm using Simple Machines forum
And I also ask for help for a book/tutorial about all these things I really want learn a lot about this and no only follow steps. I don't have any problem yet, but if someday anyone wants "hack" my site (probably never :P) I'm sure that I don't have the enough security.
Sorry if my english is bad.
Thank you guys!
