Post installation and security: default webpage

  • I successfully installed i-mscp 1.3.0.
    The FQDN of the server is mysub01.mydoami.top.
    When calling http://mysub01.mydoami.top I get the debian/apache server default page with following advice:



    You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.

    Did so with

    Shell-Script
    1. mv /var/www/html/index.html /var/www/html/index.html.org

    Calling again http://mysub01.mydoami.top I get a directory listing.


    I would prefer this off (Options -Indexes).
    As new index.html s. th. like



    HTML: index.html
    1. <html>
    2. <head>
    3. <title>Server Home</title>
    4. </head>
    5. <body>
    6. <h1>Webserver is running...</h1>
    7. </body>
    8. </html>

    You're reinventing the wheel here. We already provide the DefaultServerPage plugin that covers this issue.

  • OK, I understand, please excuse some sort of activism from my side!


    My understanding of this plugin first was:
    Giving the reseller the possibility to edit the (virtual) default page for new customers, in analogy to the customisation of the welcome email. Some sort of reseller owned template.


    Concerning the (server) default page:
    My intention was, to obtain as few information about installed systems and software as possible (though obscurity is no concept). Well, some thoughts on existing wheels, as you mentioned.

    I'm fine with your activism ;) Don't worry ;)
