Build Your Own Video Community With Lighttpd And FlowPlayer (Ubuntu 9.10)
This article shows how you can build your own video community using lighttpd with its mod_flv_streaming module (for streaming .flv videos, the format used by most major video communities such as YouTube) and its mod_secdownload module (for preventing hotlinking of the videos) on Ubuntu 9.10. I will use FlowPlayer as the video player, a free Flash video player with support for lighttpd's mod_flv_streaming module. I will also show how you can encode videos (.mp4 .mov .mpg .3gp .mpeg .wmv .avi) to the FLV format supported by Adobe Flash.
Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Fedora 12
This tutorial shows how to do data striping (segmentation of logically sequential data, such as a single file, so that segments can be assigned to multiple physical devices in a round-robin fashion and thus written concurrently) across four single storage servers (running Fedora 12) with GlusterFS. The client system (Fedora 12 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Mandriva 2010.0 x86_64)
This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.

How To Harden PHP5 With Suhosin On CentOS 5.4
This tutorial shows how to harden PHP5 with Suhosin on a CentOS 5.4 server. From the Suhosin project page: "Suhosin is an advanced protection system for PHP installations that was designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent parts, that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level protections against bufferoverflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the other protections."
VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.1.x On A Headless Fedora 12 Server
This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun VirtualBox 3.1.x on a headless Fedora 12 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.
Wireshark Remote Capturing
This short tutorial is without screenshots but a slightly more advanced usecase of Wireshark, namely doing the capture on one box and visualize the captured data in realtime on another box.
Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And MySQL On Debian Lenny
Vsftpd is one of the most secure and fastest FTP servers for Linux. Usually vsftpd is configured to work with system users. This document describes how to install a vsftpd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine.
Distributed Replicated Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Fedora 12
This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Fedora 12) to a distributed replicated storage with GlusterFS. Nodes 1 and 2 (replication1) as well as 3 and 4 (replication2) will mirror each other, and replication1 and replication2 will be combined to one larger storage server (distribution). Basically, this is RAID10 over network. If you lose one server from replication1 and one from replication2, the distributed volume continues to work. The client system (Fedora 12 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
How To Set Up WebDAV With Lighttpd On Ubuntu 9.10
This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with lighttpd on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the lighttpd server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

Here's a great little article on how to edit the hosts file on a Mac:
http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-leopard/
The National Security Agency publishes a great collection of documents that provide detailed security configuration guidelines. The full index can be found here:
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/guidance/security_configuration_guides/index.shtml
We particularly like the guides for RedHat EL5:
“Hardening Tips For Default Installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5”
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/factsheets/rhel5-pamphlet-i731.pdf
“Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5”
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/redhat/rhel5-guide-i731.pdf
To setup an alternate instance of MySQL listening on TCP port 3307 on a RHEL5 server follow these steps.
1. Setup a new MySQL config file.
cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my-3307.cnf
Add a line like this:
port = 3307
to the "[mysqld]" section.
Edit /etc/my-3307.cnf and change:
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
to
datadir=/var/lib/mysql-3307
Change:
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
to:
socket=/var/lib/mysql-3307/mysql.sock
Change the following lines:
log-slow-queries=/var/lib/mysqllogs/slow-log
log-bin=/var/lib/mysqllogs/bin-log
log-bin-index=/var/lib/mysqllogs/bin-log.index
relay-log=/var/lib/mysqllogs/relay-log
relay-log-index=/var/lib/mysqllogs/relay-log.index
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
to:
log-slow-queries=/var/lib/mysqllogs-3307/slow-log
log-bin=/var/lib/mysqllogs-3307/bin-log
log-bin-index=/var/lib/mysqllogs-3307/bin-log.index
relay-log=/var/lib/mysqllogs-3307/relay-log
relay-log-index=/var/lib/mysqllogs-3307/relay-log.index
log-error=/var/log/mysqld-3307.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld-3307.pid
Change server-id to a unique value:
server-id=2
2. Setup a new service control script.
cp /etc/init.d/mysqld /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307
Edit /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307 and add this line:
MYCNF=/etc/my-3307.cnf
directly after:
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
so that you have:
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
MYCNF=/etc/my-3307.cnf
Next change this function:
get_mysql_option(){
result=`/usr/bin/my_print_defaults "$1" | sed -n "s/^--$2=//p" | tail -n 1`
if [ -z "$result" ]; then
# not found, use default
result="$3"
fi
}
to:
get_mysql_option(){
result=`/usr/bin/my_print_defaults -c $MYCNF "$1" | sed -n "s/^--$2=//p" | tail -n 1`
if [ -z "$result" ]; then
# not found, use default
result="$3"
fi
}
Notice that the change is to add "-c $MYCNF" to the call to "my_print_defaults".
Finally run the following search/replace commands to fixup the program name, add defaults file to mysqld_safe call and set unique pid and subsys files:
replace 'prog="MySQL"' 'prog="MySQL-3307"' -- /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307
replace '/usr/bin/mysqld_safe' '/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=$MYCNF' \
-- /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307
replace 'mysqld.pid' 'mysqld-3307.pid' -- /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307
replace '/var/lock/subsys/mysqld' '/var/lock/subsys/mysqld-3307' -- /etc/init.d/mysqld-3307
3. Setup directories
mkdir /var/lib/mysql-3307 /var/lib/mysqllogs-3307
chown mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql-3307/ /var/lib/mysqllogs-3307
chmod o-rwx /var/lib/mysqllogs-3307
4. Set service to start on boot
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld-3307 on
5. Start the new instance:
/sbin/service mysqld-3307 start
On the first startup you should see some output like this:
Initializing MySQL database: Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h 244418-web3.www.idtweet.com password 'new-password'
Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl
Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at http://shop.mysql.com
[ OK ]
Starting MySQL-3307: [ OK ]
6. Set MySQL root password.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -P 3307 -h 127.0.0.1 -u root --password="" password password 'new-password'
And that's it. You now have an new instance of MySQL listening on port 3307.
Remember that you must tell the mysql command line utilities where to find the instance. For example:
mysql -P 3307 -h 127.0.0.1
or
mysql -S /var/lib/mysql-3307/mysql.sock
Also keep in mind that by default any .my.cnf file in your home directory will be used. You may have to override settings in the .my.cnf file and explicitly provide the user and password when connecting.
It is of course a bad idea to write code that depends on register_globals for security reason, but sometimes when faced with old code it's a necessary evil. You can turn on register_globals for a site or directory by adding the following line to your .htaccess file:
php_flag register_globals on
Plesk is a popular web hosting control panel used by many of our clients. On servers with Plesk, the control panel is located at:
There are several problems with this URL:
1. It's hard for users to remember the 8443 on the end and the https on the beginning of the URL.
2. Plesk by default uses a self signed SSL certificate that causes warning to be displayed in the user's web browser.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could put Plesk on a friendly URL like https://plesk.yourdomain.com?
Also lets have:
automatically redirect to:
Now the your users don't have to remember the https part either.
Now lets get really fancy. Suppose your customer has a domain named acme.com hosted on your server. It would be nice to have the URL:
redirect to:
Guess what - it can all be done! Here's how:
1. Get an SSL certificate for plesk.yourdomain.com. A $29 cert from GoDaddy will work just fine. Place the SSL key in:
/etc/pki/tls/private/plesk.yourdomain.com.key
and the SSL certificate in:
/etc/pki/tls/certs/plesk.yourdomain.com.crt
2. Next, create /etc/httpd/conf.d/plesk_proxy.conf with the following contents:
Redirect permanent /plesk https://plesk.yourdomain.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName plesk.yourdomain.com
Redirect permanent / https://plesk.yourdomain.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:8444>
ServerName plesk.yourdomain.com
ErrorLog logs/plesk_proxy.error_log
CustomLog logs/plesk_proxy.access_log common
SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/plesk.yourdomain.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/plesk.yourdomain.com.key
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPass / https://127.0.0.1:8443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://127.0.0.1:8443/
</VirtualHost>
Now just restart Apache and you're ready to go.
Couple of issues to note:
If you have a server with PHP4 installed but need PHP5 on some websites then:
Add lines like the following to your apache virtual host:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php ScriptAlias /bin /opt/php51/cgi-bin Action application/x-httpd-php5 /bin/php5
You might also find the RemoveHandler directive handy to disable PHP4.
If you need PHP4 on a CentOS5/RHEL5 server then you'll find the RPMs linked below very handy. They install to /opt/php4 and can coexist with a default PHP 5 install.
The included conf.d/php4.conf file includes sample lines to run it as a CGI or as a module.
RPMs are here:
http://repo.conforge.com/conforge/CentOS/5/i386/RPMS/
http://repo.conforge.com/conforge/CentOS/5/x86_64/RPMS/

Junction (Free) Many web developers are familiar with symbolic links on Linux, Mac OS X, and similar operating systems. With a symbolic link, you can reference any file or directory by a different name and/or in a different directory. It turns out that NTFS supports a very similar feature called junctions, but you need an expensive set of tools from Microsoft® or this convenient little command line programs' to use them. Windows 2000 and higher supports directory symbolic links, where a directory serves as a symbolic link to another directory on the computer. For example, if the directory D:\SYMLINK specified C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:\SYMLINK\DRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Windows. Unfortunately, Windows comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes with the linkde program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points. Reparse points are the mechanism on which NTFS junctions are based, and they are used by Windows' Remote Storage Service (RSS), as well as volume mount points.
