Re: [cobalt-users] IP address / sendmail question

[Thomas Sanders <email-sub@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what I do,
Since adding anything to the httpd.conf or other related files can be 
disasterous on the Cobalt products.
I add a line to an .htaccess file in the root of a website.
(IE /home/sites/www.somesite.tld/.htaccess NOT 
/home/sites/www.somesite.tld/web/.htaccess)
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i 
-fwebserver@xxxxxxxxxxxx"
and chown root.root and chmod ug=rw,o=r
This will allow the webserver to read it but keep the user for mucking it up.
The reason I place it here and not in the web root is due to the fact that 
users tend to like to have their own .htaccess files they can edit.

Hope this helps.


PS my other 2 favorites to add are
php_admin_value safe_mode 1
php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/sites/www.somesite.tld/web/"

This keeps people from using php to snoop into other directories.

(Make sure you add
safe_mode_include_dir = /tmp/php:/usr/lib/php
to your php.ini if you use the latter)
