    Limit Connections per IP using mod_limitipconn on cPanel

    one of the problems mainly aries on cPanel servers that some people use download managers to download files from server , so hundreds of connections were being ESTABLISHED to Apache and it was becoming like a dos attack and causing Apache to become non responsive.
    so here is solution to limit connections per IP in a cPanel hosting server :
    there is an Apache module named mod_limitipconn which will take care of it for us.
    first download the latest version of mod_limitipconn from this site : mod_limitipconn.c
    decompress and install it.

    Code:
    wget http://dominia.org/djao/limit/mod_limitipconn-0.24.tar.bz2
    tar jxvf mod_limitipconn-0.24.tar.bz2
    cd mod_limitipconn-0.24
    /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -cia mod_limitipconn.c
    next step is to add the required configuration to the Apache config file , we can add this directly to the end of httpd.conf file but the problem is that if we do this , the httpd.conf will be overwritten by easyapache so we will use include files to add our config.
    login into your WHM panel , and follow the following menu items :
    Main >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Include Editor
    on the Post VirtualHost Include section , choose All Versions from drop down menu and add the following config into it :

    Code:
    <IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
    <Location />
    MaxConnPerIP 10
    NoIPLimit images/*
    </Location>
    </IfModule>
