[Asterisk-Users] FW: Getting PHP Config to work?

[C. Tomlinson]

Hi,

Thanks for the batchfile type, it's a handy one.

I'm not editing over the internet, just local LAN for testing ATM. Protected
via firewall.

Would it not be fairly secure using a combination of the following:
.htaccess file
VPN?
https access?
Limit apache to only allow certain IP's?
And the public keys thing.

Basically you need to run one shell command. In linux I'd use:

  ssh root at rapidhost asterisk -rx reload

As this is a platform without native support of ssh, you can use the
command plink to get basically the same effect. Create a putty 
configuration called "rapidroot" to connect to root at rapidhost and use
something like

  plink rapidroot asterisk -rx reload

in a batch file. Or use [open]ssh from cygwin, if you're more comfortable
with
it.

You should use public-keys authentication to get better control .
Actually you can configure a certain public key so it will only allow
running one single command (asterisk -rx reload, in your case).

OVER THE INTERNET???

See my recent post on the previous thread about phpconfig. Allowing
phpconfig to do the same is quite insecure.

Also consider using mc from the shell.
