1. This tutorial assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel, and are starting on the home screen.
2. Now let’s learn how to use the Index Manager.
3. Click the “Indexes” icon.
4. The Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your website are displayed.
   If there is no index.html file in a given directory, the contents of that directory will be listed in a browser. This can cause security issues. With Index Manager, you can set your account up to not allow your directory contents to be shown.
5. Let’s setup Index Manager for the client’s directory.
6. There are four settings to choose from.
7. The “Default System Setting” allows the directory contents to be shown. “No Indexing” does not allow directory contents to be shown. “Standard Indexing” prevents browsers from viewing contents of directories that do not contain image files. “Fancy Indexing” displays file names and information, such as file size and the last-modified date.
8. Since we do not want the contents of this directory shown, we’ll choose the “No Indexing” option.
9. That’s it! The index settings have been updated, and visitors can no longer view the contents of the clients directory.

6. When finished, click “Save”.
7. That’s it! The custom 404 error page has been created.
8. You can customize the other error pages as well … but you don’t have to … all accounts come preset with standard error pages.

Varnish is a web accelerator, specifically a caching HTTP reverse proxy, designed to improve performance for busy, dynamic websites. By redirecting traffic to static pages whenever possible, Varnish reduces the number of dynamic page calls, thus reducing load.

Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for installing XCache, an open-source opcode caching tool, on Fedora 23. To install XCache on another operating system, follow our guides for CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 15.04.
• We’ll be logging in as a non-root user to a Liquid Web Self-Managed Fedora 23 server. If you need more information then visit our tutorial on How to Add a User and Grant Root Privileges on Fedora 23.

Preflight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for solving the error: “sec_error_ocsp_try_server_later”.
• This error can be displayed anytime a user visits a secure website using the https:// protocol in Firefox or Internet Explorer. It does not indicate a problem with the site itself, but occurs due to a change in the method these specific browsers used to check for revoked SSL certificates.
• We’ll be logging into WebHost Manager as root to resolve the error.

Memcached is a high-performance distributed, in-memory caching system. It primarily is used to speed up sites that make heavy use of databases. It also can, however, be used to store any kind of object.

Squid is a caching and forwarding web proxy. It is most often used in conjunction with a traditional LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), and can be used to filter traffic on HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS, and increase the speed (thus lower the response time) for a web server via caching.

PostgreSQL is a free, open-source object-relational database management system (object-RDBMS), similar to MySQL, and is standards-compliant and extensible. It often is used as a back-end for web and mobile applications. PostgreSQL, or ‘Postgres’ as it is nicknamed, adopts the ANSI/ISO SQL standards together, with the revisions.
