Default vhost templates

Templates can be found in the /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/ directory. Feel free to modify or copy them to create new custom templates. After modifying existing template you need to rebuild user configuration. This can be done using v-rebuild-user command or bulk operation in the web interface (drop down list on a "User" page).

Apache

• default - no additional settings, works well for most sites
• basedir - to fight against phpshells using openbasedir directive
• hosting - separate php limits for each domain (php_admin_value memory/safemode/etc)
• phpcgi - template to run php as cgi. can be useful to run php4 or php5.2
• phpfcgid - to php as fcgi (automatically installed on a server with > 1Gb of RAM)
• wsgi - template to run python projects (can be installed manually)

Apache template actually consists of three files. File with tpl extension is used to build usual virtual host. File with stpl extension is used to build SSL vhost. File with sh extension is optional. It can be used as trigger to run additional shell commands on domain creation. For details see phpfcgid.sh template

Nginx

• default - serves static content, works well for most sites
• hosting - disable_symlinks directive to protect from symlink attacks
• сaching - dynamic pages are cached for 15 min to handle spontaneous traffic aka reddit-effect
• force-https - force users to https/SSL (can be installed manually)

DNS

• default - general dns records
• gmail - predefined records to host mail on google app
• child-ns - template for vanity name servers
