When using PhpMyAdmin, it’s essential to have the correct user permissions to create edits/writes to the database.  Otherwise, insufficient permissions can lead to  errors like the ones pictured below “#1044 – Access denied for user …[using password: YES]” and “#1045 – Access denied for user…[using password: YES]”.  In our tutorial, we’ll show you how to correct this issue using the command line terminal.  Let’s get started!

When investigating site infections or defacing on a Windows VPS Server, the most common root cause is poor file security or poor configuration choices when it comes to how IIS should access file content.  The easiest way to prevent this is to start with a secure site.

PHP is an important part of your cPanel server. One aspect of PHP’s configuration that can be overlooked is the PHP handler. The PHP handler is the specific implementation of PHP on your server that interfaces with Apache. On a cPanel server, there are four main PHP Handlers:

Linux has a robust permissions system. This is a very good thing, as it enables a clear separation of roles among users, especially between the root user and your average user. Sometimes, though, you might want your average user to have some or all of root's privileges. In Linux, this is accomplished with sudo.

When you attempt to add or remove users from file and folder permissions within Windows Explorer, a login box appears and does not accept your administrator username and password.  This may prevent you from modifying the permissions.

Understanding file permissions is key to running a web server. Permissions control which users can read a file, make changes to a file, or execute a file/script/etc.

Now that you know how to SSH into your server it is important to familiarize yourself with some basic command line tools.

If you have an account on a cPanel server with shell access or your own VPS server or Dedicated server running Linux then SSH is a powerful tool to have in your skill set.
