~$ sudo apt-get

The following will display all files over 100MB in size on the server except for those in /proc.

find / -path /proc -prune -o -type f -size +102400k -printf "%s %h/%f\n" | sort -rn -k1 | head -n 50 | awk '{ print $1/1048576 "MB" " " $2}'

For a specific case, multiple paths.

find / -path /images -prune -o -path /var/run/sr-mount -prune -o -path /proc -prune -o -type f -size +102400k -printf "%s %h/%f\n" | sort -rn -k1 | head -n 50 | awk '{ print $1/1048576 "MB" " " $2}'

First, mount the /tmp partition with exec permissions.

mount -o remount,exec /tmp

To install a package via pecl, run the following.

pecl install ssh2
(If the package is in a state other than stable, append the state after the package name ‘pecl install ssh2-beta’)

Last few lines of the module install will list the location of the library, usually /usr/lib/php/modules. Create a ini file with the module name within /etc/php.d/ with the extension directive.

# cat /etc/php.d/gd.ini
; Enable gd extension module
extension=gd.so

At this point, run the mount command to reestablish noexec for the /tmp partition.

mount -o remount,noexec /tmp

Gracefully restart apache and you are done.

First, insert the init-file directive into the mySQL configuration under the [mysqld] section.

init-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysql-init

Create /var/lib/mysql/mysql-init with the following line. Replace ‘Changeme’ with a password of your choosing.

SET PASSWORD FOR ‘root’@’localhost’=password(‘Changeme’);

Restart the mySQL service and login as root with the password used above. Remember to remove the init-file directive and the init file you created once complete.
