I say take a shot and disable it. It doeswell at locking down some common vulnerabilities (at least from what I've read, I've not actually used it though). If it wasn't in use before, you should be okay.

Is there a way to disable it without having to rebuild php?

Yeah, it's an apache module, so you should be able to disable in apache (usually at /etc/httpd/httpd.conf) and then restart. I found this online, comment out these three lines (by placing a '#' [ without the quotes ]) before each of these lines (I wouldn't recommend deleting them, should you want to reevaluate using mod_security later).

AddModule mod_security.c
LoadModule security_module modules/mod_security.so
Include “/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec.conf”

And then restart apache (not sure how this is done on your particular sever configuration, probably "service httpd restart").

Also, you could comment out the crontab line with modsecparse.pl, again by placing a # in front of it. It's a bandaid solution, but should stop the hourly problems.

I looked into the cronjob hourly function

If you have shell access, this shows the crontab:

Quote:Quote:

crontab -l

The first five fields are "<minute> <hour> <day> <month> <day of week>" followed by the shell command run by cron.

To edit:

Quote:Quote:

EDITOR=nano
export EDITOR
crontab -e

Edit the crontab to have a '#' as the first character of every line.

Hit control-O (ctrl + O) when done, and hit enter when it asks for a filename (do not change the filename!)

Of course, CentOS also runs anacron so the standard crontab can be empty but there can still be gremlins running around.

Anacron's data is in the file /etc/anacrontab, and usually points to the directories /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, /etc/cron.monthly, and possibly /etc/cron.hourly. To see what anacron is running every hour, from a shell prompt:

Quote:Quote:

ls /etc/cron.hourly

However, to directly edit this stuff from the shell, one needs root.

Roosh,

You still probably have to figure out why the underlying cron job kept crashing the db. Presumably the cron is running just an hourly check that should not cause the forum to go down.

The hourly check only has one thing: a mod security script. There's nothing else in there.

Roosh

its a good idea to keep threads under 100 pages long to avoid Database issues with bulletin boards...

I used to an admin on a board with 37000 members and well over 1,000,000 posts so I have some experience in this area and that is how we dealt with back-end db issues which ran into.

Also be careful with storing large amounts of attachments as they can and will become a pain to manage.

Hope this helps and thanks for providing this wonderful board.

It's good to be back. Although I did have a "presidentcarter ASSASSINATED" thread in the works under a new username should rescue efforts prove fruitless.

Roosh,

I typed RVF's address and clicked enter in my browser and got this message:

It happened 3 minutes ago and thought you might want to know.

It was okay for a couple of days, but just now when I try to go to the Main page, I get this:

Exact repro steps for the crash error:

From browsing the Everything Else forum
http://www.rooshvforum.network/forum-4.html

clicking on the Main tab results in a MyBB error.
http://www.rooshvforum.network/forum-1.html

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1194 - Table 'mybb_sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
Query:
SELECT s.ip, s.uid, u.username, s.time, u.invisible, u.usergroup, u.usergroup, u.displaygroup FROM mybb_sessions s LEFT JOIN mybb_users u ON (s.uid=u.uid) WHERE s.time > '1378252864' AND location1='1' AND nopermission != 1 ORDER BY u.username ASC, s.time DESC


However, navigating to the Main Forum by simply going to http://www.rooshvforum.network works as expected.
