Reinstall VirtualBox on Ubuntu & CentOS

by

0

For Ubuntu

To remove virtualbox

sudo dpkg --list virtualbox-*
sudo apt autoremove --purge virtualbox*
dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^i

Remove all PPAs from sources.list and source.list.d directory

mkdir ~/apt-tmp
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/apt-tmp

Make sure there is nothing except official repositories sources in /etc/sources.list. And update your sources:

sudo apt update

Now we can search to see which versions are available to install:

apt-cache madison virtualbox | grep -iv sources

Which produces an output like this:

virtualbox | 5.0.32-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages
virtualbox | 5.0.18-dfsg-2build1 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial/multiverse amd64 Packages

Then I would install the last version mentioned in xenial-updates: Continue reading “Reinstall VirtualBox on Ubuntu & CentOS” »

You will need a Ubuntu 18.04 install with LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP) installed desktop or server. As an alternate you may use Mariadb in lieu of MySQL

Shell script file contents:

#!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs Zoneminder 1.32.x on Ubuntu 18.04 AMD64 with LAMP (MySQL) installed...
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
read -p "You must be logged in as root using sudo su ...
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
read -p "Next we will add the PPA repository, install and configure the system to run Zoneminder. 
Press enter to continue" nothing
apt install -y software-properties-common
clear
add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.32
apt update
clear
awk '$0="date.timezone = "$0' /etc/timezone >> /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

apt install -y zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder

a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite

SOLVED Zimbra 8.6 HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /public/error.jsp. Reason: /public/error.jsp

by

Do a quick search under the usual jetty folders:

find /opt/zimbra/jetty/ -type f -name *jsp -mtime -30

If you find files like:

/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/js/zimbra/csfe/XZimbra.jsp
/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public/Ajax.jsp

you’re actually hacked.

Unlike the previous “zmcat” and “dblaunchs” that actually exploit the vuln and load some sh*t this looks like a bad childish attack. It seems that they delete some files under jetty dir, don’t know why. 
The attack vector is the same, but, there are no strange processes, there is no persistence. Continue reading “SOLVED Zimbra 8.6 HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /public/error.jsp. Reason: /public/error.jsp” »

by

0

Check your PHP version installed

Before we start, we can simply type the following command to check the existing PHP version installed on the server.

$ php -v

If you installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you will get PHP 7.0.30 installed on your server by running installation script from VestaCP. In this tutorial, we will upgrade our PHP version to 7.2 to enjoy more features and bug fixes.

Check your PHP modules installed

To check installed PHP modules in Ubuntu, type the following command (as Ubuntu makes PHP modules available via packages):

$ dpkg — get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep php7.0

Remember mark installed modules list, as you need to install them again after upgraded to PHP 7.2. We don’t need to install mcrypt as it has been dropped from PHP 7.2.

In this tutorial, we need to install those modules again: Continue reading “Upgrade PHP version to 7.2 from 7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04” »
