After recently upgrading PHP to 5.24 and Apache to 2.2, I am experiencing a problem when attempting to call PHP from a jailshell: The jailshell does not appear to include /opt/curlssl/libcurl.so.4 shared library link that PHP is compiled with ('--with-curl=/opt/curlssl/'). Now, I believe...

Hello, I want to remove /home/virtfs. I know that it consists of hardlinks to actual system files, and I shouldn't do a rm -rf. Currently I don't have any users which have jailed shell enabled, but there is still one /home/virtfs/user directory. And I want to disable jailed shell completely...

Hi All, New to cPanel, but not new to control panels in general. I'm preparing to migrate a server from ISPConfig to cPanel, but I can't seem to get any joy out of the jailshell. When a jail a user, that user can no longer ls his directory or create files...seems he no longer has permissions...
