Hi Brian,

The flashing is gone but so are the pictures. Now they don't show at all - lol.

I cleared my browser cache and tried other browsers. I reset image cache - still they just show blank outlines where the pic is supposed to be.

Not sure what to tell you. I appreciate all the efforts on this one, but there still seems to be an issue.

Profile Domain Module - Procedure not Recommended?

Datacenter Guru said:

developer is 100% correct in that last response, adding an include to domain's virtual host is not a problem here in itself, it is rather easy to do and we can basically include any file from any location, the main issue here is as the developer has mentioned one of the trust nature, if you do trust them than sure, this can be added.

I also do not see any potential security risks in doing this which would affect other domains on the server as the include will only be for this domain apache virtual host not for others, so if this gets compromised somehow than only this domain would be affected basically.

we certainly can do this, but there is no /home/indiegospel/public_html/data/media/0/0/apache_server_alias_include.conf file currently under this account structure so we can not generate the include properly, as the file needs to exist so that configuration with include can be generated and saved within cpanel so that it does not overwrite the change.

Can you please check and advise, or should we simply create that file ourselves as empty file?

Thanks Brian - I'll try that ASAP.

No problem - I'll dig them out now before I forget.

Hi Brian,

There were actually 5 GIF's in that folder and all were doing the same thing. I deleted them but have them on my harddrive if you need them for test purposes.

OK thanks - I'm not really understanding that one, but I'm sure the server guy will. I'll pass it along as an option to consider.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info. I'll pass it on and see if he will finally do the install.

Sorry to put you through all this. However, I'd rather see him be cautious and thorough, than to err in the other direction and be "willy nilly".

Hopefully, he will feel confident enough with the security to do the install now. Thanks again.

Hi Brian,

DUH - ya I forgot to clear my browser cache.

However, now I am seeing this GIF flashing like crazy and it didn't do that before.

Ouch - it flashes in Chrome and Firefox - in IE it actually locks up the browser.

Is their any chance that is being caused by your update? Here's the pic...

From the senior datacenter tech:

I've looked over this addon.

Basically, it comes down to whether you trust developers of the addon or not.

There is a way to include this addon configuration to this site config without it being overwritten by future cpanel upgrades.

However, the fact that this addon configuration resides in public_html is a security risk in itself. If this site or cpanel user becomes compromised, this could affect server security.

That, and the fact that we should include a 3rd party configuration file in your apache config makes this process questionable, as far as potential gains are concerned.

In the end it is up to you. There are risks, but I do not have enough information to evaluate how serious those risks are. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

===================================

So my server guy is now asking for more information on how you secure this in the public HTML. Any pertinent information you could provide would be appreciated, so the risks can be assessed.

Hi Brian,

The update doesn't seem to work. I cleared caches and ran integrity check but the issue remains. See it live here - http://indiegospel.net/ken-rich
