Bulk fix WordPress permissions

There is no plug ins in WordPress to bulk fix your permissions. That is why this little script was made. The trick is you have to run it from the root of the server which in most cases your hosting company has to do.

It’s really easy to run and 100% safe.

Here is how:

1. Download the script anywhere on the server

wget http://ezlinuxadmin.com/downloads/fixperms.sh

2. Run the script from the same folder it’s downloaded

This will fix one account
sh ./fixperms.sh -a username

This will fix all accounts
sh ./fixperms.sh -all

That’s it, enjoy!

How to find CryptPHP PHP malware and remove it.

CryptPHP PHP malware has a become a nightmare for WordPress owners. Hacking millions of websites with it and getting web hosts listed in CBL effecting other web hosting accounts that did nothing wrong. It’s a vicious loop unfortunately that blacklists like CBL and Sorbs don’t care about using scrutiny or rational. Their philosophy is to just block everything if there is an issue despite websites being blocked that did nothing wrong. Hopefully someday blacklist will focus on the domains that cause issues not the IPs. That way good sites will not blocked for doing nothing wrong. Most IP people and the net know that Sorbs blocks million of good websites with no regard, I was chocked though to see CBL jump on the same list of block first ask later.

Anyways… to find the CryptPHP hack A.K.A. social.png hack. You need to run search command from root on your server.

This will find it:

for r in `locate social | grep png`; do file $r; done | grep PHP

But removing it will not fix the issue, if it’s on the site than the site has been hacked and needs to be removed. The only things that can be salvaged is the images and databases.

Here is a little information on having your WordPress Hacked

How to remove error_log from all CPanel account and backups

Some scripts like WordPress and Joomla can leave a big error_log files that no one will ever look at. Try opening a 30mb log file with Word and see what happens. In most cases you can just remove this file with a simple command.

To remove all error_log files for CPanel accounts that are live use:

find /home/ -type f -name error_log -delete

To remove all error_log files from backups use:

find /backup/ -type f -name error_log -delete

This will take a while to complete because it will look through every file, it also runs pretty smooth so just sit back and let it work it’s magic.

How to amend the emails from Cpanel backups to the current account

If a customer happens to delete their emails you can still retrieve them from the cpanel backup system. This will take root access to move the files from the backup folder tot he customers account.

You can extract a backup archive and copy over the emails to an account’s existing mail directory. If restoring a backup archive, you will find emails located at:

Code:

/home/cpmove-username/homedir/mail/domain.com/email-account/

You can also find emails from the default account within:

Code:

/home/cpmove-username/homedir/mail/
