How to mount sshfs remote directory in fstab

Hello,

 Sshfs is used to mount  a remote directory on another server to our local server.This can be done by installing the sshfs package and a package named fuse.

The mounting is done as below.

sshfs USERNAME@HOSTNAME_OR_IP:/PATH LOCAL_MOUNT_POINT SSH_OPTIONS

Eg: sshfs sessy@mycomputer:/home/sessy /mnt/sessy -C -p 9876

To unmount the remote system: 

fusermount -u LOCAL_MOUNT_POINT

To mount it again 

fusermount -u LOCAL_MOUNT_POINT

We have to do ssh-keygen inorder to avoid asking the password upon mounting.

This can be done as below.

Create private and public keys using ssh-keygen commands

ssh-keygen

This will generate  private key in /root/.ssh/id_rsa and public key in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then copy the content in id_rsa.pub to users /.ssh/authorized_keys file in remote server from which we are mounting.

You can use scp to copy the file.

then try to connect it using   sshuser2remotehost ,this time password will not be asked.

Then mount is on fstab using the following settings

sshfs REMOTEUSER@REMOTE:REMOTEMOUNTPOINT LOCALMOUNTPOINT -pREMOTEPORTNUMBER -o uid=LOCALUSERID -o gid=DESIREDGROUPID -o idmap=user -o IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/YOURKEYFILE -o allow_other

Eg:sshfs#user@remote.com:/home/user/audio /var/www/html/audio 
fuse 
IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/id_rsa,idmap=user,allow_other,port=10022,uid=0,gid=0,rw,nosuid,nodev
  0 0

How to change default mpm module of apache in Centos

In the RedHat-based Linux distributions, Apache webserver is configured to run with the prefork module by default; however, you can switch it to "worker" if you decide that this would suit your needs better. Usually, it is sufficient to uncomment this directive in the /etc/sysconfig/httpd file:

# grep HTTPD= /etc/sysconfig/httpd
#HTTPD=/usr/sbin/httpd.worker

and restart Apache

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
