comment IP Tables Port Fowarding
Assuming you trust the EC2 security groups implementation... there's no evidence you shouldn't of course, and if you are new to iptables I'd trust them more than I'd trust you. :) iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT and iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT accept all input / output (-P is the flag to set the default). Run your port forwarding iptables command, then iptables -L -v to make sure everything is working. Then iptables-save.

comment “Too many open files in system” on VPS with LSOF far from MAXFILES
The particular virtue of file-nr is the first number won't drop after the files are closed. So you can get a sense of the peak number of open file handles over the uptime of your system.

comment Windows7 attack Port: 1080, What can be?
If the connections are coming from outside your computer, you may not be infected at all. Some script kiddie somewhere is running port scans for common backdoors OR more likely for open proxies, and your firewall is intercepting and blocking the scan. No big deal. If you are concerned, netstat -ap will tell you what processes are listening on what ports; see if anything is listening on port 1080.

comment how to analyze cloudwatch data?
Can you please be more specific with your requirements? What do you mean by "user friendly", and what "analysis" tasks do you want to perform? There are many ways to assess whether your instance is overloaded or not; what criteria would you want to use?

comment centos 5.8 apache 2.2.3 server PHP 5 only partially working
Agreed. Remember when choosing from the above options, you should bear in mind the long-term maintenance of your PHP installation. yum update is a fairly easy maintenance task, while updating a custom compilation or even using an RPM you download manually is more onerous and therefore less likely to be done as often as you should. The CentOS/RHEL update model is you essentially want your package versions etched in stone, updated only for security reasons, never for shiny new features. Depending on which PHP distribution you use, you may find updates arrive far, far more frequently.

comment Apache doesn't immediately notice a change in the document root
apache2ctl can operate directly with single word commands (as you are using it), but also can operate in pass-through mode where you can use any option valid for the httpd binary (called apache2 in Ubuntu). The -k <command> simply invokes httpd -k <command>. The two are functionally equivalent; I trust passthrough mode a bit more, but can't justify why that is. :)
