Installing PHP 5.3, Nginx And PHP-fpm On Ubuntu/Debian
Since Apache is most of the time a memory hungy process, people
started to look for different ways to host their website. Apache is
clearly not the only webserver available. A few good examples are
lighttpd and nginx. In this tutorial I will show you how to install it
on your Ubuntu server. This tutorial also applies to Debian, though.
There is only a very small difference.
How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Ubuntu 9.10
This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL
using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for
hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master
and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a
database from a master server on another server (slave), and all
updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated
to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync.
This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE
command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help
protect against hardware failures though.
Debian Etch is soon
to be unsupported by the Debian team, therefore all Debian Linux
Servers need to be upgraded to Debian Lenny. I work for Netzen (an IT Support
company) and have upgraded many Linux servers to Debian Lenny over the
past months, so I am providing this guide on how to upgrade Debian Etch
to Debian Lenny to the HowtoForge community.
Installing Nginx With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 12
Nginx (pronounced
"engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx
is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and
low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx
on a Fedora 12 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL
support.
How To Add Two-Factor Authentication To Openvpn AS With The WiKID Strong Authentication Server
It's been a while since our last tutorial on how to add two-factor authentication to OpenVPN using the WiKID Strong Authentication System.
The people at OpenVPN have been very active lately and it seems like a
good time to take a look at what they've done. It's still dead simple
to configure, but it is mostly done via the new slick web interface.
By using my Network Monitoring Appliance we noticed a link in MRTG
always under heavy load. On this link a lot of different traffic
aggregates, so we decided to analyze of what quantities of protocols
and therefore applications the cumulative traffic consists.
How To Set Up Apache2 With mod_fcgid And PHP5 On OpenSUSE 11.2
This tutorial describes how you can install Apache2 with mod_fcgid
and PHP5 on OpenSUSE 11.2. mod_fcgid is a compatible alternative to the
older mod_fastcgi. It lets you execute PHP scripts with the permissions
of their owners instead of the Apache user.
I was running CentOS in my LAN for my personal use and there are MS
ISA servers for proxying and each user has to use his/her user name
& password for Internet. So when I used my credentials in my web
browser I had no problem but when I was going to do yum no success.
After some googling I found this solution.
This tutorial shows how to set up a PXE (short for preboot execution environment)
install server with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). A PXE install server
allows your client computers to boot and install a Linux distribution
over the network, without the need of burning Linux iso images onto a
CD/DVD, boot floppy images, etc. This is handy if your client computers
don't have CD or floppy drives, or if you want to set up multiple
computers at the same time (e.g. in a large enterprise), or simply
because you want to save the money for the CDs/DVDs.
VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.1 On A Headless Ubuntu 9.10 Server
This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun VirtualBox 3.1
on a headless Ubuntu 9.10 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.
How To Back Up MySQL Databases With mylvmbackup On Debian Lenny
mylvmbackup
is a Perl script for quickly creating MySQL backups. It uses LVM's
snapshot feature to do so. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a
read lock on all tables and flushes all server caches to disk, creates
a snapshot of the volume containing the MySQL data directory, and
unlocks the tables again. This article shows how to use it on a Debian
Lenny server.
How To Set Up A USB-Over-IP Server And Client With OpenSUSE 11.2
This tutorial shows how to set up a USB-over-IP server with OpenSUSE
11.2 as well as a USB-over-IP client (also running OpenSUSE 11.2). The USB/IP Project
aims to develop a general USB device sharing system over IP network. To
share USB devices between computers with their full functionality,
USB/IP encapsulates "USB I/O messages" into TCP/IP payloads and
transmits them between computers. USB-over-IP can be useful for virtual
machines, for example, that don't have access to the host system's
hardware - USB-over-IP allows virtual machines to use remote USB
devices.
This guide explains how to set up mod_geoip
with Apache2 on an Ubuntu 9.10 system. mod_geoip looks up the IP
address of the client end user. This allows you to redirect or block
users based on their country. You can also use this technology for your
OpenX (formerly known as OpenAds or phpAdsNew) ad server to allow geo targeting.
Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
This document describes how to install a PureFTPd 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. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and
upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be
stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.
Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 9.10
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
Ubuntu 9.10) with GlusterFS.
The client system (Ubuntu 9.10 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.

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:
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

</VirtualHost>
Now just restart Apache and you're ready to go.
Couple of issues to note:
You'll need to add the hostname plesk.yourdomain.com to DNS.
Depending on your server config, you may need to place plesk.yourdomain.com on a dedicated IP address since each IP address can host only a single SSL site.
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.

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.
