Well, ok maybe "grasp" isn't the word.. Master is the right word.. Unix file permissions is a hard topic to fully master, mainly I think because there aren't many instances when a computer user encounters them.   Windows has been trying to figure it out for decades with little progress, so don't feel bad if you don't know much about it.  <strong>Unless you're with the program</strong> and running Mac or any other <a href="http://www.archlinux.org/">BSD/Unix</a> based OS you've never had the ability to secure your system in this most basic and fundamental way.  Usually the first time someone encounters file permissions it's because their website was cracked.. <br class="C" /></p>

<h3>.htaccess</h3>
<p><kbd>$ chmod 604 .htaccess</kbd></p>
<pre>
604 -rw----r--  /home/askapache/cgi-bin/.htaccess
</pre>


<h3>php.cgi</h3>
<p><kbd>$ chmod 711 php.cgi</kbd></p>
<pre>
$ 711 -rwx--x--x  /home/askapache/cgi-bin/php.cgi
</pre>


<h3>.php.ini</h3>
<p><kbd>$ chmod 600 php.ini</kbd></p>
<pre>
$ 600 -rw-------  /home/askapache/cgi-bin/php.ini
</pre>

<p>I'm in the process of developing an updated version of the .htaccess security plugin, and one thing I have been working on is file permissions.  Some people had problems trying to create files on their server and I realized it was bad programming on my part..  so I began researching permissions in detail. I went deep into the source code of Apache (<em>which is why this site is called AskApache, BTW</em>), PHP, Python, Ocaml, Perl, Ruby, and POSIX operating systems and got a pretty good handle on it now..</p>

<h2>Tips before we dig in</h2>
<p>Here's a few things I've learned that I didn't know before (using php).</p>

<h3>Deleting Files and Directories</h3>
<p>Deleting a file may require chmodding the file to 666 or even 777 before you are able to delete it.  You also might have to chmod the parent directory of the file as well.  Also, you may have to chdir to the directory the file is in.  And lastly you may have to change the owner or group of the file.  Further than that you can try renaming the file first then deleting it..</p>
<p>Deleting a directory means you need to remove every file in it first.  It needs to be empty.  And if your file system uses NFS or some other networked FS you might have even more problems deleting files.  If the file you are trying to delete is being used by say, Apache or php then you might have to kill that process first.</p>

<h3>Creating Files in Restrictive Environments</h3>
<p>My research has been geared to try and make my code as robust as possible, I'm throwing everything but the kitchen sink into some of these functions because so many people are on such different types of servers.  To create a file in a restrictive environment is a fun excercise to take.. You can write a file using many different functions, but there are some tricks if they all fail.  One trick is instead of trying to "write" the data to the file, you can UPLOAD the data to the server and let PHP handle the file as if you used an upload form.  I like to use fsockopen to do it, as some installations have been setup to prevent this type of fake upload.</p>
<p>Then there are the various other hacks like using an ftp connection (if you know the user/pass) to send the file from php, using ssh from php, whatever is available on the hosts php installation.  In addition to those more involved workarounds you can often get around this problem by doing little hacks discussed at php.net in the comments for various functions.  Such as changing the umask, changing directories with chdir first, creating a temporary file using a function like tempfile and then renaming or copying the tempfile to your desired file which sometimes gives you the permissions needed to write to the location.</p>
<p>If the php installation is newer than you can also look into creating your own stream context to pass write the data direct.</p>


<h2>Stat Function</h2>
<p>I've created a stat function in php that goes farther than the normal stat function... Just give the function a file to stat, and it returns an array of information.  </p>
<pre>
function askapache_stat($filename) {
 clearstatcache();
 $ss=@stat($filename);
 if(!$ss) die("Couldnt stat {$filename}");

<h2>How File Permissions Work</h2>
<p>When PHP is installed on your server by you or whoever runs the server, it uses the file permissions that are used by the Operating System running the server..  If you are smart or just lucky than you are running some type of BSD/Unix/Solaris/Linux/Sun based Operating system and PHP won't have any problems.  If you are running on a Locked, proprietary OS like Windows, PHP will still work but it has to use a lot of shortcuts and hacks to basically "Pretend" to act like the OS is BSD/Unix, and some key features just won't be available.</p>

<h2>The OS Permission Bits</h2>
<p>Here's the file permissions my Linux server uses, and which PHP automatically uses.  The code basically just defines the default permissions for files, and defines the file atributes for each file that you can access by using the stat function, which I've improved upon to make things easier.</p>

<code>0607</code>  // owner has rw only, group has no permission and others have rwx</p>


<h2>What's a File</h2>
<p>A file is not merely its contents, a name, and a file type. A file also has an owner (a user ID), a group (a group ID), permissions (what the owner can do with the file, what people in the group can do, and what everyone else can do), various timestamps, and other information. Collectively, we call these a file's attributes.</p>

<h2>Structure of File Mode Bits</h2>
<p>The file mode bits have two parts: the file permission bits, which control ordinary access to the file, and special mode bits, which affect only some files.</p>
<p>There are three kinds of permissions that a user can have for a file:</p>
<ol>
<li>permission to read the file. For directories, this means permission to list the contents of the directory.</li>
<li>permission to write to (change) the file. For directories, this means permission to create and remove files in the directory.</li>
<li>permission to execute the file (run it as a program). For directories, this means permission to access files in the directory.</li>
</ol>

<p>There are three categories of users who may have different permissions to perform any of the above operations on a file:</p>
<ol>
<li>the file's owner.</li>
<li>other users who are in the file's group</li>
<li>everyone else.</li>
</ol>

<p>Files are given an owner and group when they are created. Usually the owner is the current user and the group is the group of the directory the file is in, but this varies with the operating system, the file system the file is created on, and the way the file is created. You can change the owner and group of a file by using the <strong>chown</strong> and <strong>chgrp</strong> commands.</p>
<p>In addition to the three sets of three permissions listed above, the file mode bits have three special components, which affect only executable files (programs) and, on most systems, directories:</p>
<ol>
<li>Set the process's effective user ID to that of the file upon execution (called the set-user-ID bit, or sometimes the setuid bit). For directories on a few systems, give files created in the directory the same owner as the directory, no matter who creates them, and set the set-user-ID bit of newly-created subdirectories.</li>
<li>Set the process's effective group ID to that of the file upon execution (called the set-group-ID bit, or sometimes the setgid bit). For directories on most systems, give files created in the directory the same group as the directory, no matter what group the user who creates them is in, and set the set-group-ID bit of newly-created subdirectories.</li>
<li>Prevent unprivileged users from removing or renaming a file in a directory unless they own the file or the directory; this is called the restricted deletion flag for the directory, and is commonly found on world-writable directories like /tmp.</li>
</ol>

<p>For regular files on some older systems, save the program's text image on the swap device so it will load more quickly when run; this is called the <code>sticky bit</code>.</p>



<h2>Setting Permissions</h2>
<p>The basic symbolic operations on a file's permissions are adding, removing, and setting the permission that certain users have to read, write, and execute or search the file. These operations have the following format:</p>
<p><code>users operation permissions</code></p>

<p>The spaces between the three parts above are shown for readability only; symbolic modes cannot contain spaces.  The users part tells which users' access to the file is changed. It consists of one or more of the following letters (or it can be empty). When more than one of these letters is given, the order that they are in does not matter.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>u</strong> - the user who owns the file.</li>
<li><strong>g</strong> - other users who are in the file's group.</li>
<li><strong>o</strong> - all other users.</li>
<li><strong>a</strong> - all users; the same as ugo.</li>
</ul>

<p>The operation part tells how to change the affected users' access to the file, and is one of the following symbols:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>+</strong> - to add the permissions to whatever permissions the users already have for the file.</li>
<li><strong>-</strong> - to remove the permissions from whatever permissions the users already have for the file.</li>
<li><strong>=</strong> - to make the permissions the only permissions that the users have for the file.</li>
</ul>

<p>The permissions part tells what kind of access to the file should be changed; it is normally zero or more of the following letters. As with the users part, the order does not matter when more than one letter is given. Omitting the permissions part is useful only with the = operation, where it gives the specified users no access at all to the file.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>r</strong> - the permission the users have to read the file.</li>
<li><strong>w</strong> - the permission the users have to write to the file.</li>
<li><strong>x</strong> - the permission the users have to execute the file, or search it if it is a directory.</li>
</ul>

<p>For example, to give everyone permission to read and write a regular file, but not to execute it, use:</p>
<pre>
a=rw
</pre>

<p>To remove write permission for all users other than the file's owner, use:</p>
<pre>
go-w
</pre>

<p>The above command does not affect the access that the owner of the file has to it, nor does it affect whether other users can read or execute the file.</p>

<p>To give everyone except a file's owner no permission to do anything with that file, use the mode below. Other users could still remove the file, if they have write permission on the directory it is in.</p>
<pre>
go=
</pre>

<p>Another way to specify the same thing is:</p>
<pre>
og-rwx
</pre>



<h2>Copying Existing Permissions</h2>
<p>You can base a file's permissions on its existing permissions. To do this, instead of using a series of <strong>r, w, or x</strong> letters after the operator, you use the letter <strong>u, g, or o</strong>. For example, the mode</p>
<pre>
o+g
</pre>

<p>adds the permissions for users who are in a file's group to the permissions that other users have for the file. Thus, if the file started out as mode 664 (rw-rw-r--), the above mode would change it to mode 666 (rw-rw-rw-). If the file had started out as mode 741 (rwxr----x), the above mode would change it to mode 745 (rwxr--r-x). The - and = operations work analogously.</p>






<h2>Umask and Protection</h2>
<p>If the users part of a symbolic mode is omitted, it defaults to a (affect all users), except that any permissions that are set in the system variable umask are not affected. The value of umask can be set using the umask command. Its default value varies from system to system.</p>

<p>Omitting the users part of a symbolic mode is generally not useful with operations other than +. It is useful with + because it allows you to use umask as an easily customizable protection against giving away more permission to files than you intended to.  As an example, if umask has the value 2, which removes write permission for users who are not in the file's group, then the mode:</p>
<pre>
+w
</pre>

<p>adds permission to write to the file to its owner and to other users who are in the file's group, but not to other users. In contrast, the mode:</p>
<pre>
a+w
</pre>

<p>ignores umask, and does give write permission for the file to all users.</p>




<h2>Directories, Set-User-ID and Set-Group-ID Bits</h2>
<p>On most systems, if a directory's set-group-ID bit is set, newly created subfiles inherit the same group as the directory, and newly created subdirectories inherit the set-group-ID bit of the parent directory. On a few systems, a directory's set-user-ID bit has a similar effect on the ownership of new subfiles and the set-user-ID bits of new subdirectories. These mechanisms let users share files more easily, by lessening the need to use chmod or chown to share new files.</p>

<p>These convenience mechanisms rely on the set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits of directories. If commands like chmod and mkdir routinely cleared these bits on directories, the mechanisms would be less convenient and it would be harder to share files. Therefore, a command like chmod does not affect the set-user-ID or set-group-ID bits of a directory unless the user specifically mentions them in a symbolic mode, or sets them in a numeric mode. For example, on systems that support set-group-ID inheritance:</p>

<pre>
# These commands leave the set-user-ID and
# set-group-ID bits of the subdirectories alone,
# so that they retain their default values.
mkdir A B C
chmod 755 A
chmod 0755 B
chmod u=rwx,go=rx C
mkdir -m 755 D
mkdir -m 0755 E
mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx F
</pre>

<p>If you want to try to set these bits, you must mention them explicitly in the symbolic or numeric modes, e.g.:</p>
<pre>
# These commands try to set the set-user-ID
# and set-group-ID bits of the subdirectories.
mkdir G H
chmod 6755 G
chmod u=rwx,go=rx,a+s H
mkdir -m 6755 I
mkdir -m u=rwx,go=rx,a+s J
</pre>

<p>If you want to try to clear these bits, you must mention them explicitly in a symbolic mode, e.g.:</p>
<pre>
# This command tries to clear the set-user-ID
# and set-group-ID bits of the directory D.
chmod a-s D
</pre>











<h2>Numeric Modes</h2>
<p>The permissions granted to the user, to other users in the file's group, and to other users not in the file's group each require three bits, which are represented as one octal digit. The three special mode bits also require one bit each, and they are as a group represented as another octal digit. Here is how the bits are arranged, starting with the lowest valued bit:</p>

<h3>Other users not in the file's group:</h3>
<pre>
1 Execute/search
2 Write
4 Read
</pre>

<h3>Other users in the file's group:</h3>
<pre>
10 Execute/search
20 Write
40 Read
</pre>

<h3>The file's owner:</h3>
<pre>
100 Execute/search
200 Write
400 Read
</pre>

<h3>Special mode bits:</h3>
<pre>
1000 Restricted deletion flag or sticky bit
2000 Set group ID on execution
4000 Set user ID on execution
</pre>

<p>For example, numeric <code>mode 4755</code> corresponds to symbolic mode <code>u=rwxs,go=rx</code>, and numeric m<code>ode 664</code> corresponds to symbolic mode <code>ug=rw,o=r</code>. Numeric <code>mode 0</code> corresponds to symbolic mode <code>a=</code>.</p>

<h3>File Time Attributes</h3>
<blockquote><cite><a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.touch.php">touch</a></cite>
<p>If changing both the access and modification times to the current time, touch can change the timestamps for files that the user running it does not own but has write permission for. Otherwise, the user must own the files.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Although touch provides options for changing two of the times the times of last access and modification of a file, there is actually a third one as well: the inode change time. This is often referred to as a file's ctime. The inode change time represents the time when the file's meta-information last changed. One common example of this is when the permissions of a file change. Changing the permissions doesn't access the file, so the atime doesn't change, nor does it modify the file, so the mtime doesn't change. Yet, something about the file itself has changed, and this must be noted somewhere. This is the job of the ctime field. This is necessary, so that, for example, a backup program can make a fresh copy of the file, including the new permissions value. Another operation that modifies a file's ctime without affecting the others is renaming. In any case, it is not possible, in normal operations, for a user to change the ctime field to a user-specified value.</p>

<p>WebHost allows you to create multiple users per account. Each user can have domain assigned to its home home directory accessible via FTP or SSH/SCP. The problem with multiple users on the same account is that they share the same default unix group, and default permissions allow their files to be easily modified by the members of this group. Usually this doesn't pose a problem as each user is probably trusted by account owner to not to mess with others files, but if one of the users have their web application hacked then all other users on the same account will be in danger. </p>
<p>By default all files in your account are created with 644 privileges and directories are with 775. That means any user can read your files and any user from the same account can move and add files in your freshly made directories. Your home directory is different, though. By default it carries 751 attribute meaning that only members of your group can see your files, but can't add any new. These group access schemes are possible, because every user in your account has its primary/default group set to "pgxxxxxx", which is assigned to every new file you create by default. The normal way to secure users from web-intrusion is to assign a separate group to the web-server user, removing it from default group. This way, exploited scripts will not be able to traverse into home directories of other users on your account. To allow account users to update centralized web-site they could be added to web-site group explicitly. But this "normal way" doesn't work with DreamHost, because you can't delete web-user from the default group and unless you set access for every new file explicitly, it will be possible for an intruder to read it. </p>
<p>To make managing privileges easier in interactive sessions "umask 007" command can be specified in your .bash_profile - this makes all new files carry xx0 mask. You also need to control your scripts (web based or cron/shell) so that they set mask for critical files explicitly. To secure account users from access by means of hacked user script you would also like to define another group for every user in your account and change group ownership of the user's home directory to that group with "set gid" bit set (and optional umask 007 in .bash_profile). </p>
<p>Therefore, to secure your users from web-intrusion you need to: </p>
<ol>
	<li>Add a separate user and group for every domain where apache will be running </li>
	<li>Add a separate group for other user accounts </li>
	<li>Change the default group for new files created by your users by changing the group of their home directory and setting "set gid" bit for it (it is impossible to do this with FTP accounts, therefore you will need to login in each account via SSH) </li>
	<li>Add users who need access to web-site into the web-user group </li>
	<li>Optionally set umask 007 in .bash_profile for every user to tweak default WebHost775/664 permissions to something like 770/660 for directories and files that are not meant to be read by Apache (660 could also be used for all web scripts including .php as they are not read by dhapache CGI, but merely executed) </li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Apache_Security"></a>Apache Security </h2>
<p>All your web files that need to be read by Apache should be readable by everyone as Apache itself is run under dhapache user. However, executable scripts like .php are executed under your own user and do not have to be world readable as they are not actually read by Apache, but executed via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/suEXEC">suEXEC</a>. Quite the opposite - to prevent your code or database settings from being messed by any third-parties you SHOULD set permissions to these files explicitly to something like 640 or even 600 depending on who do you trust. </p>
<a name="Multiuser_security_setup_example"></a>
<h2>Multiuser security setup example </h2>
<p>For our example, we will create a <em>rainforce_www</em> user and a <em>aapp_www</em> group for serving web files with apache and setup a <em>rainforce</em> user with a 'aapp<em> group to manage mail and keep other files on DH privately. Since these records already exist, you will need to subsitute your own names.</em> </p>
<ul>
	<li>Login to create the users <em>rainforce_www</em> and <em>rainforce</em> with shell access. </li>
	<li>Create two groups - <em>aapp_www</em> and <em>aapp</em>. Note that users created in previous step are still members of the same default <em>pg</em>xxxxxx group. </li>
	<li>Add <em>rainforce_www</em> to 'the 'aapp_www<em> group and </em>rainforce<em> to both the </em>aapp_www<em> and </em>aapp<em> groups</em> </li>
	<li>Move your domain to <em>rainforce_www</em> account (mine is rainforce.org) </li>
	<li>Now login to SSH with your <em>rainforce_www</em> user and change the default group for your home directory with "sgid" bit set to make all current and new files/directories created in this directory have the same <em>aapp_www</em> group. </li>
</ul>
<pre>
 $ chgrp -R aapp_www .
 $ chmod 2751 .
 $ chmod 2771 rainforce.org
</pre>
<p>By setting 2771 the directory will be writable by the owner, the group and will be only executable by others. The contents of an executable only directory cannot be listed, but the files inside it can be read (if the permissions of the file allow it). It is important that the directory can be executable in order to allow static content (e.g. .html files) inside it to be read. Remember that directories you don't want anyone to have web access to, should be 0770 (writable by the owner and group, or 0750 writable by the owner and readable by group). Such strict permissions should by applied to password files, php include files or databases files (such as SQLite, BDB, etc). </p>
<ul>
	<li>Do the same for <em>rainforce</em> user, but specify <em>aapp</em> group instead. </li>
</ul>
<pre>
 $ chgrp -R aapp .
 $ chmod 2751 .
</pre>
<ul>
	<li>Optionally modify umask in .bash_profile in user's home to 007 to make all files created by this user have 660 permissions set by default. If you want that newly created files by accessible by the web, you need to manually setup it's permissions to 664. </li>
</ul>
<p>Now I can login as the user "rainforce" and update the web-site in the ../rainforce_www/rainforce.org directory. There is one more setup needed. Because files copied from other accounts can have 644 permissions set instead of 664, you need a script which will update permissions to 664 or 660 to allow other group members modify such files. </p>

<pre>locate .htaccess | xargs -I&#039;{}&#039; cat &#039;{}&#039; &gt;&gt; master-htaccesser.txt</pre>
<p>My site is named after reading source code because that is what helps me the most when I'm trying to learn something unusually difficult.   Just like functions and aliases, it is very helpful to have cheatsheets for common commands.. not much is better than real-world examples.  Unfortunately because this was compiled from hundreds of htaccess files on multiple hosts and platforms, and due to the concatenation, it's not organized.</p>

<p>Normally I would not publish something like this, who knows how much unreleased tricks I forgot about..  but in order to say thanks to all those working for open-source, the FSF, and to all those who don't steal content, and to all the incredible authors who shared with me (I twitter most of what I find, and follow my favs), here ya go..</p>


<p class="cnote"><strong>ATTN:</strong> Please let me know if this is total junk or not, this is around 1/500th of my master-htaccesser.txt file.. and I'd be happy to post more if it helps..</p>

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# TZ: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis
&nbsp;
#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
&nbsp;
#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature Off
&nbsp;
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI -MultiViews
&nbsp;
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php
&nbsp;
#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
Action php5-cgi /bin/php.cgi
&nbsp;
#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddHandler php5-cgi .php .inc
&nbsp;
#
# Commonly used filename extensions to character sets. You probably
# want to avoid clashes with the language extensions, unless you
# are good at carefully testing your setup after each change.
# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the
# official list of charset names and their respective RFCs.
#
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
&nbsp;
#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file mime.types for specific file types.

# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
# Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
# to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
#
AddEncoding x-compress .Z
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
&nbsp;
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# TZ: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis
&nbsp;
#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
&nbsp;
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options  +FollowSymLinks -ExecCGI -Indexes -Includes -MultiViews
&nbsp;
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php /index.php
&nbsp;
#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
&lt;filesMatch "^\.ht"&gt;
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
  Satisfy All
&lt;/filesMatch&gt;
&nbsp;
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/html
&nbsp;
#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail

# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)

# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/optimize-nice-ionice.html" class="IFL" id="id18"></a>To prepare for several upcoming articles on AskApache that are focused on optimizing Servers and Sites from a server admin level, here is an article to introduce the main tools that we will be using.  These tools are used to optimize CPU time for each process using <strong>nice</strong> and <strong>renice</strong>, and other tools like <strong>ionice</strong> are used to optimize the Disk IO, or Disk speed / Disk traffic for each process.  Then you can make sure your mysqld and httpd processes are always fast and prioritized.<br class="C" /></p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/optimize/optimize-nice-ionice.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/optimize/optimize-nice-ionice.html"><cite>AskApache.com</cite></a></p><p>Ok, sup.  I really felt I had to get this out of the way, because I have a whole stack of drafts waiting to be published, but I realized that not many people will benefit from all the advanced optimizations and tricks I'm writing unless they get a basic understanding of some of the tools I'm using.  I decided to write a series of articles explaining how I optimize servers for speed because lately I've been getting a lot more people wanting to hire me to do that.  I take on projects when I can but there is clearly a need out here on the net for some self-help.   The momentum is swinging more and more towards VPS type of web hosting, and I would say that 99% of those customers are getting supremely ripped off, which goes against the foundation of the web.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this blog and my research is only a hobby of mine, my job is primarily marketing and sales, so I'm not some licensed expert or anything, or even an unlicensed expert! haha.  But it does bother me that those who are tech-savvy enough to run web-hosting companies are happily ripping people off.  So this article details the main tools that are used to speed up and optimize your machine by delegating levels of priority to specific processes.  Future articles will use these tools alot, so this is meant as an intro.</p>




<p><a id="cpu-disk-io" name="cpu-disk-io"></a></p><h2>CPU and Disk I/O</h2>
<p>As most of you are aware, there are 2 variables that determine any computer or programs speed.  CPU and Disk I/O.  CPU determines how fast you can process data, crunch numbers, etc. while disk I/O determines how fast your disks can read and write data to the hard-drive.  Wouldn't it be great if you could easily configure your server to give your httpd, php, and other processes both greater CPU processing and disk IO than your non-important processes like backup scripts, ftp daemons, etc.?  We are talking about Linux in this article, so of course YES not only can you do that, you should!</p>
<p><a name="optimize-ram" id="optimize-ram"></a></p><h3>RAM</h3>
<p>RAM is like a hard-drive in that data is stored on it, and read/written to it.  The difference is that RAM is somewhere around 30x faster than disk I/O, but the cost of that incredible speed is that the data stored on it is only temporary in the sense that it won't be stored permanently, it is completely erased when your machine is rebooted.  RAM is also expensive, and there is a limit to how much a server or machine can have due to hardware limits.</p>
<p><a name="optimize-swap" id="optimize-swap"></a></p><h3>SWAP</h3>
<p>SWAP takes off when you run out of RAM but you still want certain data to be read/write quickly.  Basically when you start running out of RAM your machine starts supplementing RAM with SWAP storage.  SWAP is usually a partition on a second hard-drive disk.  There is an upper limit on how much I/O can occur on a disk at one time, and the more I/O takes place, the slower all I/O becomes, so SWAP works well on a separate hard-drive as it will have much faster I/O.  On Windows they opted to copy the SWAP mechanism but instead use a file named pagefile.sys, and that is just one reason people in the know do not care for Windows.</p>
<p><a name="optimize-cpu" id="optimize-cpu"></a></p><h3>CPU</h3>
<p>So lets do this, think of your CPU (your processor) as having an amount of 100% processing available when not being used, 0% when its maxed out.  CPU's handle multiple processing tasks simultaneously, so what we will discuss in this article is how to specify HOW MUCH of that processing amount each of your programs (heretofore "processes") are able to use.  Yes, very very cool.</p>
<p>That is correct, you can easily configure your server to provide more of the available processing time to certain programs over others, like you can configure apache and php to utilize 50% of your CPU processing time by themselves, so that all other processes (proftpd, sshd, rsync, etc.) combined can only utilize 50%.  The terminology is we can give certain specific processes (like php.cgi, httpd, fast-cgi.cgi) a specific <strong>priority</strong>, where -19 is the most priority, and +19 is the least amount of priority, or CPU processing time.  I know it seems backwards.. </p>


<p><a id="tools" name="tools"></a></p><h2>The Tools</h2>
<p>If you run Windows, you are in the right place... because the following advice will save your life:  GET LINUX! Ok, now that that is out of the way, the following are the tools dicussed on this page.  All of them are free, open-source, and wonderful.  The basic idea of these tools is to control how much CPU is devoted to each process, and also how much Disk IO/Disk traffic is given to each process.</p>

<dt></dt><dd></dd>
</dl>




<p><a id="part1-processes" name="part1-processes"></a></p><h2>Part 1: Process Processes Faster</h2>
<p>Ok so lets tackle figuring out how to give your response-intensive processes (like apache, php, ruby, perl, java) meaning a request to your server/machine requires a <em>response</em>.  For instance, when you requested this page that you are reading at this very second, several things on my server had to happen for you to be able to read this.</p>
<p>First your computer sends out a request to see what server the www.askapache.com domain name is.  DNS servers respond with my server IP, so for servers dedicated as nameservers, optimizing the DNS processes like bind would speed that up.  Now that your computer knows how to reach my server it sends an HTTP GET request for this url.  This request is received by the httpd process that is apache, and apache determines this url should be handled by my custom compiled php5.3.0 binary, because this page is WordPress generated.  So the php binary loads up the WordPress /index.php file, which chain-loads several other php files, including <code>wp-config.php</code> containing my MySql database settings.  Now php connects to my MySql Server to fetch this articles content, comments, title, tags, etc. and then generates the HTML and hands that back to Apache.</p>
<p>Finally, Apache generates a HTTP RESPONSE and sends the RESPONSE and CONTENT back to your Browser, which then in turn renders the page for your eyes with the necessary javascript, images, css, and other files included in the HTML response.</p>

<h3>Too much Processing</h3>
<p>Now you see why I've opted to write my own caching plugin that takes the php and mysql processes OUT of that equation.  Both the php binary and the mysql instance consume CPU processing, and disk IO, to load all their library files, make various network requests and sockets, check permissions, and on and on.  And that's completely ok, the thing is, unless you configure these processes (Apache, PHP, MySQL) they will use the same amount of CPU processing that other processes use, other processes that have very little to do with you reading this sentence.  Processes to run my mail server, my FTP server, my SSH server, my cronjobs, cleanup scripts, atd daemon, etc.. and they will get the same amount of CPU!</p>
<p>Another even simpler example is what got me to look into this myself.  I wrote a shell script that created hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly backups for all of my websites and sql databases, and set it up to run by cronjob at those set intervals.  Eventually I noticed my sites were slower, my php even slower, and sometimes I even saw 503 errors that my host throws up when my server is overloaded.  The research that I pursued to prevent that from happening has been hugely eye-opening.  What does a backup script do?  Mine just created tar archives of all the files in my web root, then gzipped the tar archive saving to a backup server using scp (a file transfer using ssh).  This resulted in the following huge problems that seem to have nothing to do with a faster server and speedier website, but they have everything to with it.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>CPU Bottleneck #1</strong> - tar and gzip use compression algorithms at a low level to create a compressed version, and all that compressing uses a whole lot of crunching - CPU processing</li>
<li><strong>DISK IO Bottleneck</strong> - Tarring the whole web root directory was creating a ton of disk io, and remember the more disk io that is going on, the less is available for everything else.</li>
<li><strong>CPU Bottleneck #2</strong> - Using scp to send my backups was security-smart, but these huge archive files had to be encrypted and sent over the net.</li>
</ol>






<p><a id="breaking-bottlenecks" name="breaking-bottlenecks"></a></p><h2>Breaking Bottles</h2>
<p>I apologize for being a little long-winded there, but I think it's important to make sure everyone understands those basic concepts, which are foreign to most people.  Once you understand what is causing the bottlenecks, then you can understand the solutions, which actually are incredibly simple and even a novice linux user can easily do.  Besides, the net gets a little bit faster every time someone implements this.</p>

<p><a id="nice-tool" name="nice-tool"></a></p><h3>nice</h3>
<p><img src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2009/10/nice-chart.png" alt="NICE Levels Chart" title="NICE Levels Chart" width="351" height="225" class="IFL" />Nice allows you to run a program with modified scheduling priority which specifies how much CPU is devoted to a particular process.  Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling.  With no COMMAND, print the current niceness.  <br /><br />Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).   <code>-n, --adjustment=N</code> -  add integer N to the niceness (default 10).   <code>nice +19</code> tasks get a HZ-independent 1.5%.  Running a <code>nice +10</code> and a <code>nice +11</code> task means the first will get 55% of the CPU, the other 45%.<br class="C" /></p>

<p><a id="nice-usage" name="nice-usage"></a></p><h4>nice usage</h4>
<pre>nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...]
&nbsp;
-n, --adjustment=ADJUST   increment priority by ADJUST first</pre>

<p><a id="nice-examples" name="nice-examples"></a></p><h4>Examples of nice</h4>
<p>Using nice to download a file</p>
<pre>nice -n 17 curl -q -v -A &#039;Mozilla/5.0&#039; -L -O http://wordpress.org/latest.zip</pre>
<p>Unzipping a file with nice</p>
<pre>nice -n 17 unzip latest.zip</pre>
<p>Nice way to build from source</p>
<pre>nice -n 2 ./configure
nice -n 2 make
nice -n 2 make install</pre>
<p>It is sometimes useful to run non-interactive programs with reduced priority.</p>
<pre>$ nice factor `echo &#039;2^9 - 1&#039;|bc`
511: 7 73</pre>
<p>Since nice prints the current priority, we can invoke it through itself to demonstrate how it works: The default behavior is to reduce priority by 10.</p>
<pre> $ nice nice
10
$ nice -n 10 nice
10</pre>
<p> The ADJUSTMENT is relative to the current priority.  The first <code>nice</code> invocation runs the second one at priority 10, and it in turn runs the final one at a priority lowered by 3 more.</p>
<pre>$ nice nice -n 3 nice
13</pre>
<p>Specifying a priority larger than 19 is the same as specifying 19.</p>
<pre>$ nice -n 30 nice
19</pre>
<p>Only a privileged user may run a process with higher priority.</p>
<pre>$ nice -n -1 nice
nice: cannot set priority: Permission denied
$ sudo nice -n -1 nice
-1</pre>

<blockquote cite="http://uploads.askapache.com/2009/08/sched-nice-design.txt">
<p>The new scheduler in v2.6.23 addresses all three types of complaints:</p>
<p>To address the first complaint (of nice levels being not "punchy" enough), the scheduler was decoupled from 'time slice' and HZ concepts (and granularity was made a separate concept from nice levels) and thus it was possible to implement better and more consistent nice +19 support: with the new scheduler nice +19 tasks get a HZ-independent 1.5%, instead of the variable 3%-5%-9% range they got in the old scheduler.</p>
<p>To address the second complaint (of nice levels not being consistent), the new scheduler makes nice(1) have the same CPU utilization effect on tasks, regardless of their absolute nice levels. So on the new scheduler, running a nice +10 and a nice 11 task has the same CPU utilization "split" between them as running a nice -5 and a nice -4 task. (one will get 55% of the CPU, the other 45%.) That is why nice levels were changed to be "multiplicative" (or exponential) - that way it does not matter which nice level you start out from, the 'relative result' will always be the same.</p>
<p>The third complaint (of negative nice levels not being "punchy" enough and forcing audio apps to run under the more dangerous SCHED_FIFO scheduling policy) is addressed by the new scheduler almost automatically: stronger negative nice levels are an automatic side-effect of the recalibrated dynamic range of nice levels.</p>
</blockquote>







<p><a id="renice-tool" name="renice-tool"></a></p><h3>renice</h3>
<p>Renice is similar to the nice command, but it lets you modify the nice of a currently running process.  This is nice for shell scripts where you can add this to the top of the script to nicify the whole script to 19.</p>

<p><a id="scheduling-policies" name="scheduling-policies"></a></p><h3>Linux Scheduling Policies</h3>
<p>The scheduler is the kernel component that decides which runnable process will be executed by the CPU next.  Each process has an associated scheduling policy and a static scheduling priority, sched_priority</p>
<p>Processes scheduled under one of the real-time policies (SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR) have a sched_priority value in the <strong>range 1 (low) to 99 (high)</strong>.  (As the numbers imply, real-time processes always have higher priority than normal processes.)   The following "real-time" policies are also supported, for special time-critical applications that need precise control over the way in which runnable processes are selected for execution:</p>
<p>Currently, Linux supports the following "normal" (i.e., non-real-time) scheduling policies:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>SCHED_OTHER</strong>: Default Linux time-sharing scheduling</dt><dd>The standard round-robin time-sharing policy</dd><dt><strong>SCHED_BATCH</strong>: Scheduling batch processes</dt><dd>This policy is useful for workloads that are non-interactive, but do not want to lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between the workload's tasks).</dd>
<dt><strong>SCHED_IDLE</strong>: Scheduling very low priority jobs</dt>
<dd>This policy is intended for running jobs at extremely low priority (lower even than a +19 nice value with the SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH policies)</dd>
<dt><strong>SCHED_FIFO</strong>: First In-First Out scheduling</dt><dd>A first-in, first-out policy</dd>
<dt><strong>SCHED_RR</strong>: Round Robin scheduling</dt><dd>A round-robin policy.</dd>
</dl>

<p><a id="scheduling-classes" name="scheduling-classes"></a></p><h3>Scheduling Classes</h3>
<dl>
<dt><code>IOPRIO_CLASS_RT</code></dt>
<dd>This is the realtime io class. The RT scheduling class is given first access to the disk, regardless of what else is going on in the system. Thus the RT class needs to be used with some care, as it can starve other processes. As with the best effort class, 8 priority levels are defined denoting how big a time slice a given process will receive on each scheduling window.  This scheduling class is given higher priority than any other in the system, processes from this class are given first access to the disk every time. Thus it needs to be used with some care, one io RT process can starve the entire system. Within the RT class, there are 8 levels of class data that determine exactly how much time this process needs the disk for on each service. In the future this might change to be more directly mappable to performance, by passing in a wanted data rate instead.</dd>
<dt><code>IOPRIO_CLASS_BE</code></dt>
<dd>This is the best-effort scheduling class, which is the default for any process that hasn't set a specific io priority. This is the default scheduling class for any process that hasn't asked for a specific io priority. Programs inherit the CPU nice setting for io priorities. This class takes a priority argument from 0-7, with lower number being higher priority. Programs running at the same best effort priority are served in a round-robin fashion.  The class data determines how much io bandwidth the process will get, it's directly mappable to the cpu nice levels just more coarsely implemented. 0 is the highest BE prio level, 7 is the lowest. The mapping between cpu nice level and io nice level is determined as: io_nice = (cpu_nice + 20) / 5.</dd>
<dt><code>IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE</code></dt>
<dd>This is the idle scheduling class, processes running at this level only get io time when no one else needs the disk. A program running with idle io priority will only get disk time when no other program has asked for disk io for a defined grace period. The impact of idle io processes on normal system activity should be zero. This scheduling class does not take a priority argument.    The idle class has no class data, since it doesn't really apply here.</dd>
</dl>








<p><a id="ionice-tool" name="ionice-tool"></a></p><h3>ionice</h3>
<p>ionice - get/set program io scheduling class and priority.  This program sets the io scheduling class and priority for a program.  Since v3 (aka CFQ Time Sliced) CFQ implements I/O nice levels similar to those of CPU scheduling. These nice levels are grouped in three scheduling classes each one containing one or more priority levels:</p>

<p><a id="ionice-usage" name="ionice-usage"></a></p><h4>ionice usage</h4>
<p>If no arguments or just -p is given, ionice will query the current io scheduling class and priority for that process.</p>
<pre>ionice [-c] [-n] [-p] [COMMAND [ARG...]]</pre>
<ul>
<li><strong>-c</strong> - The scheduling class. 1 for real time, 2 for best-effort, 3 for idle.</li>
<li><strong>-n</strong> - The scheduling class data. This defines the class data, if the class accepts an argument. For real time and best-effort, 0-7 is valid data.</li>
<li><strong>-p</strong> - Pass in a process pid to change an already running process. If this argument is not given, ionice will run the listed program with the given parameters.</li>
</ul>

<p><a id="ionice-examples" name="ionice-examples"></a></p><h4>ionice Examples</h4>
<p>Sets process with PID 89 as an idle io process.</p>
<pre>ionice -c3 -p89</pre>
<p>Runs 'bash' as a best-effort program with highest priority.</p>
<pre>ionice -c2 -n0 bash</pre>
<p>Returns the class and priority of the process with PID 89</p>
<pre>ionice -p89</pre>

<blockquote cite="http://gaarai.com/2009/03/06/multitasking-from-the-linux-command-line-plus-process-prioritization/">
<p><p>With the ionice command, you can set the IO priority for a process to one of three classes: Idle (3), Best Effort (2), and Real Time (1). The Idle class means that the process will only be able to read and write to the disk when all other processes are not using the disk. The Best Effort class is the default and has eight different priority levels from 0 (top priority) to 7 (lowest priority). The Real Time class results in the process having first access to the disk irregardless of other process and should never be used unless you know what you are doing.</p>
<p>If we wish to run the updatedb process in the background with an Idle IO class priority, we can run the following:</p>
<pre>$ sudo date
$ sudo updatedb &amp;
[1] 16324
$ sudo ionice -c3 -p16324</pre>
<p>If we’d rather just lower the Best Effort class priority (defaults to 4) for the command so the process isn’t limited to idle IO periods, we can run the following:</p>
<pre>$ sudo date
$ sudo updatedb &amp;
[1] 16324
$ sudo ionice -c2 -n7 -p16324</pre>
<p>Again, the Real Time class should not be used as it can prevent you from being able to interact with your system.</p>
<p>You may wonder where you can get the process ID if you don’t know it, can’t remember it, or didn’t start the process (an automatted script may have launched it). You can find process IDs with the ps command.</p>
<p>For example, if I had an updatedb program running in the background, and I wanted to find its process ID, I can run the following:</p>
<pre>$ ps -C updatedb
PID TTY TIME CMD
4234 ? 00:00:42 updatedb</pre>
<p>This tells me that the process’ process ID (PID) is 4234.</p></p>

<p><a id="schedule-utils" name="schedule-utils"></a></p><h2>Schedule Utils</h2>
<p>These are the Linux scheduler utilities - schedutils for short.  These programs take advantage of the scheduler family of syscalls that Linux implements across various kernels.  These system calls implement interfaces for scheduler-related parameters such as CPU affinity and real-time attributes.  The standard UNIX utilities do not provide support for these interfaces -- thus this package.</p>
<p>The programs that are included in this package are chrt and taskset.  Together with nice and renice (not included), they allow full control of process scheduling parameters.  Suggestions for related utilities are welcome, although it is believed (barring new interfaces) that all scheduling interfaces are covered.</p>
<p>I've found that quite a few servers do not have this package installed, indicating to you that they might not know what they are doing.  Here is how you can install this incredible package, for non-root users.  Root users know how to do this, or they shouldn't be root.  Download and install in 1 line provided you have curl.  Or just use the following commands.</p>
<pre>mkdir -pv $HOME/{dist,source,bin,share/man/man1} &amp;&amp; cd ~/dist &amp;&amp; curl -O http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/schedutils/schedutils_1.5.0.orig.tar.gz &amp;&amp; cd ~/source &amp;&amp; tar -xvzf ~/dist/sch*z &amp;&amp; cd sch* &amp;&amp; sed -i -e &#039;s,= /usr/local,=${HOME},g&#039; Makefile &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; make install &amp;&amp; make installdoc</pre>

<p><a id="taskset-tool" name="taskset-tool"></a></p><h3>taskset</h3>
<p>Taskset  is  used to set or retrieve the CPU affinity of a running process given its PID or to launch a new COMMAND with a given CPU affinity.  CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the system.  The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs.  Note that the Linux scheduler also supports natural CPU affinity: the scheduler attempts to keep processes on the same CPU as long as practical for performance reasons.  Therefore, forcing a specific CPU affinity is useful only in certain applications.</p>
<p>The  CPU  affinity is represented as a bitmask, with the lowest order bit corresponding to the first logical CPU and the highest order bit corresponding to the last logical CPU.  Not all CPUs may exist on a given system but a mask may specify more CPUs than are present.  A retrieved mask will reflect only the bits that correspond to CPUs physically on the system.  If an invalid mask is given (i.e., one that corresponds to no valid CPUs on the current system) an error is returned.  A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE to change the CPU affinity of a process.  Any user can retrieve the affinity mask.</p>

<p>You can retrieve the mask of an existing task or set it:</p>
<pre>$ taskset -p 700
$ taskset -p 03 700</pre>

<p><a id="chrt-tool" name="chrt-tool"></a></p><h3>chrt</h3>
<p><code>chrt</code> sets or retrieves the real-time scheduling attributes of an existing PID or runs COMMAND with the given attributes.  Both policy (one of <code>SCHED_FIFO</code>, <code>SCHED_RR</code>, or <code>SCHED_OTHER</code>) and priority can be set and retrieved.  A user must possess CAP_SYS_NICE to change the scheduling attributes of a process.  Any user can retrieve the scheduling information.</p>

<p>If LIMIT is given, it is the new value of the specified resource; the special LIMIT values `soft', `hard', and `unlimited' stand for the current soft limit, the current hard limit, and no limit, respectively.  Otherwise, the current value of the specified resource is printed.  If no option is given, then -f is assumed.  Values are in 1024-byte increments, except for -t, which is in seconds, -p, which is in increments of 512 bytes, and -u, which is an unscaled number of processes.</p>
<dl>
<dt>RLIMIT_AS</dt>
<dd>The maximum size of the process's virtual memory (address space) in bytes.  This limit affects calls to brk(2), mmap(2) and mremap(2), which fail with the error ENOMEM upon exceeding this limit.  Also automatic stack expansion will fail (and generate a SIGSEGV that kills the process if no alternate stack has been made available via sigaltstack(2)).  Since the value is a long, on machines with a 32-bit long either this limit is at most 2 GiB, or this resource is unlimited.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_CORE</dt>
<dd>Maximum size of core file.  When 0 no core dump files are created. When non-zero, larger dumps are truncated to this size.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_CPU CPU</dt>
<dd>time limit in seconds.  When the process reaches the soft limit, it is sent a SIGXCPU signal.  The default action for this signal is to terminate the process.  However, the signal can be caught, and the handler can return control to the main program.  If the process continues to consume CPU time, it will be sent SIGXCPU once per second until the hard limit is reached, at which time it is sent SIGKILL. (This latter point describes Linux 2.2 through 2.6 behavior. Implementations vary in how they treat processes which continue to consume CPU time after reaching the soft limit.  Portable applications that need to catch this signal should perform an orderly termination upon first receipt of SIGXCPU.)</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_DATA</dt>
<dd>The maximum size of the process's data segment (initialized data, uninitialized data, and heap).  This limit affects calls to brk(2) and sbrk(2), which fail with the error ENOMEM upon encountering the soft limit of this resource.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_FSIZE</dt>
<dd>The maximum size of files that the process may create.  Attempts to extend a file beyond this limit result in delivery of a SIGXFSZ signal. By default, this signal terminates a process, but a process can catch this signal instead, in which case the relevant system call (e.g., write(2), truncate(2)) fails with the error EFBIG.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_LOCKS</dt>
<dd>(Early Linux 2.4 only) A limit on the combined number of flock(2) locks and fcntl(2) leases that this process may establish.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_MEMLOCK</dt>
<dd>The maximum number of bytes of memory that may be locked into RAM.  In effect this limit is rounded down to the nearest multiple of the system page size.  This limit affects mlock(2) and mlockall(2) and the mmap(2) MAP_LOCKED operation.  Since Linux 2.6.9 it also affects the shmctl(2) SHM_LOCK operation, where it sets a maximum on the total bytes in shared memory segments (see shmget(2)) that may be locked by the real user ID of the calling process.  The shmctl(2) SHM_LOCK locks are accounted for separately from the per-process memory locks established by mlock(2), mlockall(2), and mmap(2) MAP_LOCKED; a process can lock bytes up to this limit in each of these two categories.  In Linux kernels before 2.6.9, this limit controlled the amount of memory that could be locked by a privileged process.  Since Linux 2.6.9, no limits are placed on the amount of memory that a privileged process may lock, and this limit instead governs the amount of memory that an unprivileged process may lock.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE</dt>
<dd>(Since Linux 2.6.8) Specifies the limit on the number of bytes that can be allocated for POSIX message queues for the real user ID of the calling process.  This limit is enforced for mq_open(3).  Each message queue that the user creates counts (until it is removed) against this limit according to the formula:  <code>bytes = attr.mq_maxmsg * sizeof(struct msg_msg *) +             attr.mq_maxmsg * attr.mq_msgsize</code> where attr is the mq_attr structure specified as the fourth argument to mq_open(3).  The first addend in the formula, which includes sizeof(struct msg_msg *) (4 bytes on Linux/i386), ensures that the user cannot create an unlimited number of zero-length messages (such messages nevertheless each consume some system memory for bookkeeping overhead).</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_NICE</dt>
<dd>(since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS below) Specifies a ceiling to which the process's nice value can be raised using setpriority(2) or nice(2).  The actual ceiling for the nice value is calculated as 20 - rlim_cur.  (This strangeness occurs because negative numbers cannot be specified as resource limit values, since they typically have special meanings.  For example, RLIM_INFINITY typically is the same as -1.)</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_NOFILE</dt>
<dd>Specifies a value one greater than the maximum file descriptor number that can be opened by this process.  Attempts (open(2), pipe(2), dup(2), etc.)  to exceed this limit yield the error EMFILE. (Historically, this limit was named RLIMIT_OFILE on BSD.)</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_NPROC</dt>
<dd>The maximum number of processes (or, more precisely on Linux, threads) that can be created for the real user ID of the calling process.  Upon encountering this limit, fork(2) fails with the error EAGAIN.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_RSS</dt>
<dd>Specifies the limit (in pages) of the process's resident set (the number of virtual pages resident in RAM).  This limit only has effect in Linux 2.4.x, x < 30, and there only affects calls to madvise(2) specifying MADV_WILLNEED.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_RTPRIO</dt>
<dd>(Since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS) Specifies a ceiling on the real-time priority that may be set for this process using sched_setscheduler(2) and sched_setparam(2).</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_RTTIME</dt>
<dd>(Since Linux 2.6.25) Specifies a limit on the amount of CPU time that a process scheduled under a real-time scheduling policy may consume without making a blocking system call.  For the purpose of this limit, each time a process makes a blocking system call, the count of its consumed CPU time is reset to zero.  The CPU time count is not reset if the process continues trying to use the CPU but is preempted, its time slice expires, or it calls sched_yield(2). Upon reaching the soft limit, the process is sent a SIGXCPU signal.  If the process catches or ignores this signal and continues consuming CPU time, then SIGXCPU will be generated once each second until the hard limit is reached, at which point the process is sent a SIGKILL signal.  The intended use of this limit is to stop a runaway real-time process from locking up the system.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_SIGPENDING</dt>
<dd>(Since Linux 2.6.8) Specifies the limit on the number of signals that may be queued for the real user ID of the calling process.  Both standard and real-time signals are counted for the purpose of checking this limit.  However, the limit is only enforced for sigqueue(2); it is always possible to use kill(2) to queue one instance of any of the signals that are not already queued to the process.</dd>
<dt>RLIMIT_STACK</dt>
<dd>The maximum size of the process stack, in bytes.  Upon reaching this limit, a SIGSEGV signal is generated.  To handle this signal, a process must employ an alternate signal stack (sigaltstack(2)).</dd>

<p>I've been using it for several months now while working on a plugin or diagnosing some issue, and decided that I'd share it with everyone.  Hopefully it will help other plugin authors and php programmers in general to start writing more robust and error-proof code, which would in turn help me!  To help those not using WordPress, I've included most of the debugging functions below, but you'll need the AskApacheDebug class for them to work.  Hope you find it useful!  I do.  <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-debug-viewer/">Download AskApache Debug Viewer</a></p>

<h2><a name="php-debug-functions" id="php-debug-functions"></a>PHP Debugging Functions</h2>
<p>Ok so for those interested more in the php flavor, here are a few of the functions that produce the debugging output.  I'll start with my customized _stat function, which took a lot of research to write, but you can read that story at <a href="http://www.askapache.com/security/chmod-stat.html">Chmod, Umask, Stat, Fileperms, and File Permissions</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/elite-log-file-scrolling-color-syntax.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/elite-log-file-scrolling-color-syntax.html"><cite>AskApache.com</cite></a></p><p><a class="IFR" rel="lb" href="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/08/colored-logs2.png"><img src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/08/colored-logs2.png" alt="Scroll Logs on Alternate Monitor for Server Debugging" title="colored-logs2" width="350" height="143" /></a>Ok peeps, one of the coolest hacks yet.  If you have multiple PC's/Monitors at your workstation like I do, it can be helpful to display various information on one screen while you work on another.<br class="C" /></p>

<p>This article shows how I <strong>continuously scroll the logs</strong> for a server/site I am working on, thus saving me a lot of time by providing <em>real-time debugging</em> on a separate screen.  Not only does this scroll the latest log entries as they are created, it <strong>displays them in color using syntax highlighting</strong> to make your logs incredibly easy to understand and parse.</p>


<h2>Example Output</h2>
<p>The thing to realize is that this output is continuously scrolling on your monitor, and using some cool linux shell tricks you can make it output at a certain speed and show a certain number of lines.  Another cool feature is you can display multiple files at the same time, and the filename will be output for each file above the log output.</p>
<p><a rel="lb" href="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/08/colored-logs1.png"><img src="http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/08/colored-logs.png" alt="Colored Apache Server Logs Scrolling Display" title="Colored Server Log Scrolling" width="640" height="570" /></a></p>


<h2>What Logs</h2>
<p>I've explained in various articles on this site how to create and use various custom log files using .htaccess files and other tricks for non-root users. I use shared hosting all the time too you know...  Here are some log files you can generally use if you can use .htaccess files <em>(if you can control .htaccess you can control a binary php-cgi, which could be a shell script thats execs the php binary of your choice with your own environment variables, which is a workaround to getting a custom php.ini, which is how you specify a php error log)</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>php error log</li>
<li>mod_security audit log</li>
<li>mod_security debug log</li>
<li>apache error log</li>
<li>apache access log</li>
</ul>
<p>Any log file can be used with this method, actually ANY file containing text can be used with this method, even fifo pipes as we will see in a bit ;)</p>



<h2>Installation</h2>
<h3>PCRE</h3>
<p>First you need <a href="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</a> - Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, which you can download <a href="ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/">here</a>.  Note that I had to install <a href="ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-6.7.tar.gz">pcre version 6.7</a> to get it to work with ccze.</p>

<h3>CCZE</h3>
<p>Now you need <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/ccze/">CCZE</a>, which colorizes and outputs (emulating tail) the log files.</p>
<blockquote><p>CCZE is a robust and modular log colorizer with plugins for apm, exim, fetchmail, httpd, postfix, procmail, squid, syslog, ulogd, vsftpd, xferlog, and more.</p></blockquote>


<h2>Post-Install Setup</h2>
<p>Ok so once you've installed ccze you can start using it right away, or you can continue reading to see how I've set it up for readable scrolling.  If the following setup isn't to your taste, you can always just use <a href="http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/wtail/wtail-0.2.2.tar.gz">wtail</a>, a colorless multi-file scroller that uses separate scrolling windows in your terminal similar to the screen program.</p>

<h3>Create Logs Folder</h3>
<p>First I created a folder called <code>/logs/</code> for my site, then for all subsequent commands chdir to it.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ mkdir /home/site.com/logs
$ cd /home/site.com/logs</pre>

<h3>Create Symlinks to Logs</h3>
<p>In the new logs folder I created soft symlinks to all the various log files, not neccessary but makes everything much easier and organized.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ ln -s /actual/logs/site.com/http/access.log access.log
$ ln -s /actual/logs/site.com/http/error.log error.log
$ ln -s /home/site.com/php_error.log php_error.log
$ ln -s /home/site.com/modsec_audit.log modsec_audit.log
$ ln -s /home/site.com/modsec_debug.log modsec_debug.log</pre>

<h3>Make a fifo Pipe</h3>
<p>FIFO stands for first-in-first-out and is a somewhat complex feature of linux/bsd/unix shells that let you send data into it and read the data that comes out of it, just like a pipe.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ mkfifo pipe</pre>



<h2>Scrolling the Logs</h2>
<p><strong>First</strong> cd to the log directory you created.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ cd /home/site.com/logs</pre>

<p>Now we will use the tail program to output 120 lines of each of these log files every half of a second, only displaying changes/new log entries.  We send that output into the fifo pipe we created using shell redirection and then instruct the command to run in the background using the ampersand to access built-in <em>(bash/sh)</em> job control.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ tail -s .5 -n 120 -f access.log php_error.log error.log modsec_audit.log &gt;pipe &amp;</pre>

<h3>Displaying the Colorized Scrolling Output</h3>
<p>So every .5 seconds the tail command outputs any new log entries from those files into the fifo pipe, so now we need to use the ccze program to use the fifo pipe as its input log file.  Normally you run ccze like the cat command and it just outputs the input colorized, by using tail and a fifo pipe we are able to make this awesome trick work.</p>

<h4>To current TTY</h4>
<pre class='prebash'>$ ccze &lt;pipe</pre>

<h4>To any TTY</h4>
<pre class='prebash'>$ ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp;</pre>



<h3>Save All Colored Output</h3>
<p>This appends the colorized output to the file in the CWD, super.log</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ ccze -A &lt;pipe | tee -a super.log</pre>


<h3>Kill the Scrolling</h3>
<p>Immediately kills any processes used by tail and ccze.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>$ pkill -9 ccze\|tail</pre>





<h2>Going Further. Hackers only.</h2>
<p>Here are some other examples of using ccze with fifo pipes, more as an excercise than anything practical as most lines don't work, I just grabbed them from my shell history file.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>tail -f access.log &gt;pipe &amp; ccze &lt;pipe | tee -a super.log &gt;/dev/pts/2
tail -f access.log &gt;pipe &amp; ccze &lt;pipe | tee -a super.log &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp;
&nbsp;
exec 3&lt;&gt; pipe; while ccze &gt;/dev/pts/2 &lt;&amp;3; do tail -f access.log &gt;pipe; done; exec 3&gt;&amp;-
exec 3&lt;&gt; pipe; ccze &lt;&amp;3 &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; ; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe; exec 3&gt;&amp;-
exec 3&lt;&gt; pipe; ccze &lt;&amp;3 &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; ; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe
exec 3&lt;&gt; pipe; ccze &lt;&amp;3 &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe
ccze &lt;&amp;3 &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp;
ccze 0&lt;&amp;3 |tee -a super.log &gt; /dev/pts/2 &amp;
ccze &lt;&amp;3 |tee -a super.log &gt; /dev/pts/2 &amp;
ccze &lt;pipe |tee -a /dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -s .5 -n 120 -f php_error.log error.log modsec_audit.log &gt;pipe &amp;
ccze | tee -a /dev/pts/2 &lt;pipe
&nbsp;
ccze &lt; tee -a /dev/pts/2 pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2
ccze &lt;|tee -a /dev/pts/2 pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2
ccze &lt;tee -a /dev/pts/2 &lt;pipe
ccze &lt;pipe &gt;&gt; tee -a super.log &gt;/dev/pts/2
cat &lt;pipe | ccze
ccze &lt;pipe &gt;&gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp;
&nbsp;
tail -fq access.log | ccze  &amp;&gt;/dev/pts/1
tail -qf access.log |ccze &amp;&gt;/dev/pts/1 &amp;
tail -f access.log | ccze &gt; $SSH_TTY
&nbsp;
( ccze &gt; /dev/pts/2 )&lt;pipe
( ccze &gt; /dev/pts/2 )&lt;pipe
( ccze &gt; /dev/pts/2 )&lt;pipe &amp; tail -f access.log | pipe
( ccze &gt; /dev/pts/2 )&lt;pipe &amp; tail -f access.log | ./pipe
&nbsp;

ccze  &lt; pipe &gt; /dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -f access.log &gt;pipe &amp;
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -n 40 -s 2 -f error.log modsec_audit.log php_error.log  &gt;pipe &amp;
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;| tee -a super.log | &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -n 80 -s 1 -f error.log modsec_audit.log php_error.log  &gt;pipe &amp;
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -n 100 -s 1 -f error.log modsec_audit.log php_error.log &gt;pipe &amp;
ccze &lt; pipe &gt;/dev/pts/2 &amp; tail -n 100 -s 1 -f error.log modsec_audit.log php_error.log &gt;pipe &amp;
&nbsp;
tail -f access.log | ccze &gt; pipe &amp; /dev/pts/2/&lt;pipe
tail -f access.log | ccze &gt; pipe &amp; /dev/pts/2&lt;pipe
&nbsp;
ccze &lt; $(tail -n 20 -s 1 -f access.log)
ccze &lt; | $(tail -n 20 -s 1 -f access.log)
ccze &lt; |$(tail -n 20 -s 1 -f access.log)</pre>


<h3>Shell Script</h3>
<p>I also hacked together a little shell script that you may wish to hack to your needs.  Its actually pretty sweet if you can figure it out.</p>
<pre class='prebash'>#!/bin/bash -l
set -o xtrace
renice -p $$ 15
&nbsp;
pkill -9 tee\|ccze &amp;&gt;/dev/null || echo -n
disown -a &amp;&gt;/dev/null || echo
&nbsp;
[[ -r "~/pipe" ]] &amp;&amp; rm -rf ~/pipe
&nbsp;
mkfifo ~/pipe
&nbsp;
cd /home/askapache.com/logs
&nbsp;
[[ -r "superlog.log" ]] &amp;&amp; echo "Found old logfile, moving." &amp;&amp; mv superlog.log `command ls|wc -l`-superlog.log
&nbsp;
ccze &lt;$HOME/pipe &gt; $SSH_TTY &amp; tail -n 150 -s .5 -f  php_error.log error.log modsec_audit.log &gt;$HOME/pipe &amp;
disown %2; &amp;&amp; disown %3;
&nbsp;
disown -a
&nbsp;
sleep 60 &amp;
disown $! || disown %1
&nbsp;
for i in `seq 1 4`;do echo -n $&#039;\a&#039;; sleep 1;done
kill -9 $J1
kill -9 $J2
&nbsp;
logout
exit 0</pre><p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/elite-log-file-scrolling-color-syntax.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/linux/elite-log-file-scrolling-color-syntax.html">Elite Log File Scrolling with Color Syntax</a> originally appeared on <cite>AskApache.com</cite> </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.askapache.com/shellscript/snapshot-backups-shell-script.html"></a><a href="http://www.askapache.com/shellscript/snapshot-backups-shell-script.html"><cite>AskApache.com</cite></a></p><p><a rel="lb" class="IFL hs hs12" href='http://uploads.askapache.com/2008/06/backup-script.png' title="Automated Directory Backups with Cron Shell-Script"></a>This simple unix shell script automatically <strong>creates backups of a specific folder at regular hourly, nightly, weekly, and monthly intervals</strong>.  DreamHost has this feature for their main accounts but for those of us running on the new Private Servers they haven't set it up yet. The old perl script they use on the main accounts does not work with the higher security of the PS kernels and virtual server setup.<br class="C" /></p>

<p class="anote">I just learned that using your dreamhost account for backups like this shell-script is a violation of the Terms of Service, so please don't use this method on DreamHost.</p>



<h2>Why Automated Backups</h2>
<p>I make a lot of mistakes while developing and hacking code for my sites and I've come to rely on having access to these backup versions so I can quickly revert.  Contacting support to get access to them is a waste of everyones time compared to finding a solution, so I did. The DreamHost wiki has a couple of complicated but workable solutions for backups but not for PS users, and nothing this simple.  Just another great feature of DreamHosts <em>debian linux based web hosting</em>.</p>

<h2>My Shell Script</h2>
<p>Instead of the usual method for copying directory trees using tar with fifo, pipes, or DreamHost's rsync and NFS method this script uses <strong>cpio</strong> which is much much faster and has a lot of cool options like saving m/a/c times and symlinks, and also being able to handle weird characters and file names.</p>
