Re: nginx or apache for php?

If your setup works fine, use apache2 as php runner. Nginx needs config exercises for .htaccess replacements and this is sometimes too complicated for beginners. For performance on multiple slow clients add nginx as reverse proxy (as most other hosting setups), or use apache proxy module (never seen last ~15 years). Nginx is faster than apache2 because it get all data from backend, send it to a slow client and backend ready to new request while nginx sending data. Apache2 can do it with proxy module, but i was see such configuration around 2006, nginx as reverse proxy easier to configure. -- Stanislav

I think, most RH-only services must be used only if most of your servers are RH-based and you vendor-locked on RH. If datacenter not RH-based, then i prefer more universal solutions, which work on RH too. > I've looked in log files, bumped sshd_config loglevel up to DEBUG, and > restarted dbus, ssh and the oddjobd services. > Should any of you have any advice about where to look in order to > troubleshoot (there seems to be no evidence that any attempt was even made > to create a homedir upon the user logging in), i'd love to have you share > it. I think, you shoud look to /etc/pam.d Not all configs work as expected, when need some strange (e.g. not localhost desktop or alone server) -- Stanislav
Re: question about different software versions on Debian 10 and 11

If software backported - quick and easy way. 2) you may backport software by self (get sources, sometimes fix debian/* in sources dir, build package) -- my preffered way to take new software before debian testing not frozen. 3) you may set repos from debian 11 and install software AND dependencies - your debian will be partially upgraded and some another soft may be broken. Don't recommend this way, system may be broken and need reinstall in worst case. 4) you may upgrade to debian 11. If you does not see your software in backports and can't build package - use this way. -- Stanislav

You can see content of installed package by command: dpkg -L mysql-connector-java And i recommend you do not install packages by hand before searching in repo. May be this package for you: https://packages.debian.org/buster/libmariadb-java -- Stanislav

Now wheezy abandoned and nobody will be port new ciphers to very outdated openssl version. If you want quick and working result, recommend you upgrade to something new version with clean install - direct update to actual version does not possible, step-by-step to current stable release with 4 steps may take you "frankendebian" result or you will need to cleanup system from old packages after every step. If you want experience with updating very outdated system to simply outdated system - use archive.debian.org for 1st upgrade step. -- Stanislav

My standard actions in such situations (unknown root password + no sudo rights): A) boot from livecd, mount root partition into /mnt, chroot /mnt, passwd, umount /mnt, reboot from hdd. or B) at boot add line to kernel parameters: init=/bin/sh after boot at prompt: mount / -o remount,rw passwd # change root password sync; sync mount / -o remount,ro and reboot (may be via reset button or power switch) -- Stanislav
