How to install Redis for WordPress on FreeBSD

This how to install Redis for WordPress on FreeBSD will explain how to install an object cache (Redis) for WordPress (via plugin) on this […]

How to configure a Virtual Host in Apache

April 26, 2017 By Albert Valbuena

You may have just one website and that is ok. If that is your case you can avoid this entire chapter. But some of you may also have several websites. And quite probably you want to use one single public ip to resolve all the domains you have. The Apache documentation is the main resource […]

How to setup MariaDB master-slave replication on FreeBSD

April 23, 2022 By Albert Valbuena

Having all the data in just one server is not the best idea. Especially when talking about a database server. Spreading information in several boxes is a good measure to prevent data loss but also for performance. A MySQL/MariaDB master-slave replication scheme is often used as a good solution for both, data redundancy and speed. […]

How to install AWStats on FreeBSD 13.0

September 12, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

AWStats is a very powerful and useful software allowing webmasters count the visits to their managed websites.

I am a busy guy. Answering comments takes precious time from my daily life so don’t get mad if I don’t reply you back quickly or if I just don’t do. Plus, think twice before posting. If you really have something interesting to say, just go ahead. If that is something you really think I’d […]

How to set Apache’s MPM Event and PHP-FPM on FreeBSD

April 1, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

As explained in another article the default Apache’s configuration at compile time sets its multi-processing module (MPM for short) to the pre-fork configuration setting. This is not the best performant configuration for Apache. Out of the box Apache comes compiled in its safest form, from the processing mode perspective since the pre-fork setting will open […]

How to install ModSecurity 3 on FreeBSD

March 1, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

A couple of years ago I wrote a guide on how to install Modsecurity on FreeBSD. Now the program is on its third iteration so a new article is needed. Or so I think. In this article I’ll be covering Modsecurity 3 applied to protect Apache HTTP. If you find the articles in Adminbyaccident.com useful […]

How to configure FreeBSD to use a webcam (version 12 and 13)

August 13, 2023 By Albert Valbuena

Introduction. Unlike many Linux distributions the FreeBSD operating system comes quite crude out of the box. What others will interpret as a disadvantage, with some knowledge on the system, others see the power to serve. Anyone willing to have a nice FreeBSD desktop experience with little effort, there are a couple of BSD-based distributions, like […]

How to secure the ELK stack on CentOS 8

May 12, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

This is a follow up of the ‘how to install the ELK stack on CentOS 8’. That is a basic setup with no security at all. There is no encryption, no username and password setup, nothing. Not even firewall rules to filter ports. And as it’s known security can’t only rely on one factor but […]
