Subject: (solved) mpm-itk "Permission denied: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries:" - msg#00037List: debian-ispThis is more for google than anything else. Based on Russell Coker's helpful post, we've been using mpm-itk to set UID/GID per apache web site for a while. Recently I setup a new debian etch / apache 2 server and the error logs filled with: Permission denied: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: By default debian apache2 seems to come w/ cgid enabled: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cgid.html cgid's purpose is: On certain unix operating systems, forking a process from a multi-threaded server is a very expensive operation because the new process will replicate all the threads of the parent process. In order to avoid incurring this expense on each CGI invocation, mod_cgid creates an external daemon that is responsible for forking child processes to run CGI scripts. The main server communicates with this daemon using a unix domain socket. If I understand correctly, mpm-itk does forks not threads, so mod_cgid does nothing for it. I can imagine that it would be problematic for various mpm-itk processes to attempt to write to /var/run/apache2/cgisock.$PROCESS_ID_OF_APACHE_CGID_DAEMON The solution was to disable cgid by removing the symlinks to /etc/apache2/mods-available/ rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgid.conf rm /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgid.load and reloading apache: /etc/init.d/apach2/ I did the symlink removal by hand because a2dismod couldn't seem to separate mod_cgi (which we need for cgi scripts) from mod_cgid -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-isp-REQUEST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you're already installing, and expecting to use, Microsoft Exchange then why not relay mail there? On all the machines I maintain, for example, I have a single mailserver and I just configure each system to mail: lists-root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That way all root messages to to a single mailing list where different staff members, or people, can view them. If you install ssmtp, nullmailer, or similar on each of the boxes that's sufficient to route outgoing mails - theres no need to run SMTP service to receive mail on the boxes, surely?

Contact listmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Previous Message by Thread: click to view message previewFwd: SMTP ServerHello, I'm building a medium-sized business network, with a few internal and external webservers, an exchange server, a couple of IDS's and even a network management system. Most (if not all) of these servers, require an SMTP server in some way or form. Whether its to reset a users password via email, or send an alert that a link has gone down. I'm wondering, whats the best way to configure an SMTP(s) server for this, both easily to setup and manage but also securely. Do I set up an SMTP server on each of the servers that require one, and then (for Anti-spam purposes) set up a MX record and PTR record to each of them? This would require time and a lot of administration to keep them all up. Or do I set up one large SMTP server and authenticate via a username/password or via ip?
