RE: Linux Web Server Hardening (LAMP + Wiki)

["Tommy Thomas" <webmaster () ocaladesigns com>]

ConfigServer is awesome and has recommended security settings/checks and if you are using WHM/CPanel, it plugs into 
that otherwise you have to use the command line.  I use LiquidWeb for my VPS servers and their support is awesome and 
is one of the few companies I felt comfortable with putting a forward facing linux server online.  LW also has a 
firewall you can control access to your VPS as well as the configserver firewall, so double protection.

Subject: Linux Web Server Hardening (LAMP + Wiki)

Hi All,

Is anyone aware of a hardening guide for a Linux LAMP server with a Wiki component?

I have an older Linux Server hardening book, but nothing recent. I have not seen a Wiki hardening document.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
