Server :: BSD Or Ubuntu - Includes Hosting A Website And A Small FTP
Feb 18, 2011
First of all, let me just state that i want to make a small server for my home.. which includes hosting a website and a small FTP server.
Now as far as ease, stability, use, etc.. just overall, which would be more ideal to use for this?
My top choices are FreeBSD and Ubuntu Server.
However, I do not know which of these to go with, since this is my first time setting up a server. I hear BSD is really best for web servers, but I would like to hear what the people at LQ has to say.
I know Ubuntu Server would probably be more easy to set up, but how is it in terms of stability and speed?

After searching I cannot find what I am looking for. My wife has comissioned me to put together a cheap website to highlight her crochet projects. I had used OSX's web site server in the past. where the folder for web sites are in Ubuntu. This would get very low traffic and would be fine on a desktop computer. I see no reason to install Ubuntu server.

I'm running with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition and I have LAMP server installed on the machine. I'm wanting to host my Automotive Detailing website that I'm almost done with off of that server. I have decals made up for my car and friends cars with the domain that I have registered on it. Now, can someone please tell me where and how to put the files for my website on the server and how to configure everything so I can get it up and running ASAP?!? I'm fairly new at this Ubuntu and what not so I need a detailed tutorial
So this is what I need to know:
==> Where to put the webpage files
==> How to configure the server to open it up to the world wide web
==> How to change the IP Address to Static and how to know what to change it to.
==> How to point the registered domain to the server.
Like I said I'm fairly new at this so please be as detailed as possible!

I have application (WAR format) deployed on tomcat 5.5. I am able to access application using: "http://my_server_hostname/application_base_directory_name/hello.do" for example. I do not want my users to remember or bookmark the full link "http://my_server_hostname/application_base_name/hello.do"). Is there a way that i could have tomcat host it like a website and i can directly get the index page open by simply typing a url (http://hostname) in the browser? if possible, i would like to do it using tomcat only (no httpd connectors or modules).

I have hosted my site from some hosting service. They are providing pretty good C panel but my problem is that the host belongs from US and maximum hosted website from US and during united states office hours my site goes down because high usage and overload on mysql server. I have tried my pc to turn into web server by fedora 14 and I am successfully to do it. But I have only one pc and It's Intel dual core with 2 gb ram. I know It's pretty good configuration for F14. Bu My pc is more that 3 and half years old. So, I want to know is it will be good idea to convert my pc into web server or should I get a new one? Or what do you say If I get a used pc.

So I am (excitedly frustrated) 3-4 months from the first working install of my linux server. So I am setting up a team to work on the server, I have a couple questions. first what the server will do.The server will host icecast (internet broadcasting program similar to shoutcast), podcast versions of said shows, and a website.
1. Will icecast or similar interfere with normal hosting of the website (though they are coming from the same server I believe its broadcasted on different ports so I imagine not)
2. Should I use a seperate server to store the mp3's or is it ok to keep them where on the same machine ( I would like to keep them on the same machine, logicly I would think it would cut down on load time)
3. I am worried about server maintaince in the way of hackers n such as well as hardware and software, memory usuage, bandwidth is there a checklist and maybe a way to automate this.
I should clarify, I know how to tell schedule a task but what if I need it in perverbial safe mode (yay windows) and I can't be there for it to happen and when its finished return to work as usual by its self.
4. I was thinking my content (file) manager, server maintainer, and I would have access to wlan when we can't physically be there, is this safe? Can I make it safer? What about ftp for my webdesigners and podcasters?
5. I started having doubt about myself using linux (ubuntu server) because for cost saving I am sacrificing a gui as well as general knowledge. I have previously installed and got working a server in linux before but I don't know what hole I could have possibly left open. Question would it be better and easier to use someone else to host my site for me such as amazon or o-f.com or should I keep going with linux, or buy windows server?

I'm doing an upgrade of a web based application for a charity organization. To test the changes that we're making to the code, I wanted to set up a server on my home PC to host a copy of the site. I've configured apache, php and mysql like the server that's currently hosting the real app, but I have a problem:The first page is a login screen. This, of course, has a login form like so:
Code:
<form id="login" action="/menu/login" method="post">
<fieldset class="a_cuatrocincuenta">
[code]....

I've got a small web hosting service, for some of my friends. Where I want my friends to be able to have dedicated virtual servers just for a simple LAMP and ftp-server.
I've got quite limited hardware.
AMD Athlon II (Dual core)
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
100 Mbit Fiber-lan ( Dynamic IP )
What I would want to know is how to create the virtual servers in an truly optimal way. Should I use KVM or VirtualBox? How can I make the request to mydomain.org go to one of the virtual servers and the request to anotherdomain.com go to another virtual server?
If the virtual server is the best solution.
* How much memory should be sufficient for a simple LAMP/FTP-server?
* What would be the most optimal settings for my limited hardware capacity?

1- How can I prepare my own website in my own pc at home? I have had used Nvu in the past, but it looked to me very unstable (it disappeared from my screen at simple use, despite re-installing it again and again), and I think the Kompozer was also not very far from it, my experience.
2- How can I prepare my pc to run that website? What Linux software I need to download for? Do I really need to have a great cash to transform my poor pc into it? I think that because it is Linux-Ubuntu, not Windows, the situation can not be any worst or more expensive... uh?
3- In theory, if I have that website in my own pc... how I know that hackers can only see my page (in a separate-isolated folder from other folders, right?) and can not take a tour of my entire pc, documents, photos, etc, including copying or stealing archives or Ooo documents? It is not that the same way when (by example) a hacker can steal the next Stephen King book or script and sell/display it worldwide without even his knowledge?

im trying to use ssh on my web hosting to install a magento testing website but i can't connect to it. i tried reading this [URL]...but now im stuck with this instruction.. By default the public key is saved in the file ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub, while ~/.ssh/id_dsa is the private key. Now copy the id_dsa.pub file to the remote host and appended it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2: i searched for the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 in my web hosting file manager but i didn't find it..

My new line provider/ISP won't give me a static IP address - it's DHCP or nothing. Is there some trick I can use to allow myself to host a web page? I was thinking of getting a static address elsewhere, like at my sometime place of employment, and redirecting, but it just moves the problem downstream.Realistically, assume I leave my computer on and hardly ever reboot (CentOS is pretty stable), then will I typically keepthe same address for weeks or months at a time? If so, I could live with logging in to my registrar a few times a year to change the address, as bizarre as that would be

I have prepared a static lib(.a) comprising 2 function definitions. I have created a different shared library(.so) comprising 2 more functions. The two functions of .so use the functions defined in the .a file. That is, the .so file uses the services of the .a file. Next, I create an executable that uses the shared library(.so). When I build my executable, it needs to be linked with the .a file as well. it gives me undefined reference for the functions defined in the .a file. Why is that so? I am posing this question because, the .a file has already been included(static linking) while bulding the .so. Is there any workaround so that I need not link the .a file with my final executable?

1. I understand you can protect your files or directories in your website by setting file/directory permissions. The meaning of r w x is clear to me, but I'm not sure how to proceed... Starting with the index.html file, if I wanted to make it so that anyone in the world can read it but can't modify it, do I set its permissions to rwxr-xr-x? If I set it to rwxr--r--, would that mean the file couldn't be served? I mean, what does the x setting do on a .html file, how can a .html file be executable?
2. If file permissions work on the lines of owner-group-others, in the context of a website, who is 'group'? As far as I can tell, there's only the owner, which is me, and others, which is the world accessing the site. Am I correct in thinking that by default, say when creating a website on a shared hosting server, there is no group unless I specifically set one up?
3. My ISP allows the DynDNS.org service, meaning that I could serve a website from my home. It's too early to go that route just yet, but for future reference, I would like to ask about the server software called Hiawatha. It is said to be secure, but having read some evaluations of it, it doesn't seem to offer anything that couldn't be accomplished with Apache or Cherokee, it's just that its security settings are simpler and easier to configure. Am I right about this? Or does Hiawatha truly offer something that the other major server packages don't?

As per our requirement, I need to implement a Secure FTP server for around 500 users which includes security level on both - Transfer and Rest data. Apart from this I also need the following features -
1. Size quota on Users & reminder mails for the same
2. Password expiry notifications and user interface to change their password within specified time interval
3. Aging of data - After specified time, data will be moved to some other location from their home directory
4. All type of log maintenace for each file and user and log exporting
5. Uploading & Downloading speed consistency as per server level.
6. Read-write interface for user and read-only interface for their client for the same account.
7. Backup and Recovery options.
As of now, I am using VSFTPD which does not give these much of features in combine.

I have a few friends that have seen me bypass firewalls with a socks proxy (SSH). I explained on how it works and how secure it is for browsing the Internet and checking your email in public places. I had at least 6 asked me if I could set up an account on my server for them and they would pay me! Now what I wanted to know was how I can set this up in a server and website where they can register an account and pay me through PayPal! I don't need help setting up the site! Just on how to set up the server to automate this. What tools are needed (ex. ISPConfig, jailkit.... stuff like that?) I don't mind doing this manually but if I get more people that would like this I don't really want to do every single one.

unfortunately i have absolutely no experience with servers, and i dont even know where to begin.i have done some reading up and i think my choice will be a LAMP server.now to the question, lets assume that i know nothing but html, css, JS, etc. where would be the best place to start learning about servers, how to operate within a server, and the such? and which ubuntu server OS would be the best choice? i will also post my email address for an alternate method of communication.

I have installed a linux server in my office to run 16 machines. Its main use will be a internal mail server but will be also running websites.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and have got apache running.
I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.

I put this in the General Help section since this potentially deals with multiple things. Without further ado...On my Desktop, My host OS is Windows 7 while thru VMware i have Ubuntu as a Guest OS. I know it's easier to just use Ubuntu solely on the Desktop to host it as a media server, but for certain reasons (family and friends mostly) I'm using VMware instead. My goal is to use my Ubuntu OS thru VMware for others in my household to access it. So far, my Windows host can pick it up the media it's sharing, but not the rest of the network. I know it has to do with the NAT that VMware uses, but what's the best way to configure it to where other laptops, and ps3's on the network can see it?

I'm using Ubuntu Server (32bit) on a machine at home. I've bought a domain name(s) via Heartinternet.co.uk and my ISP is Bethere.co.uk I have installed my LAMP Server on my home based server and it's accessible via my static IP address. HTTP is forwarded on my router to my Ubuntu (web)Server. Now then, in laymen's terms, I want my domain name to resolve to my Ubuntu Server. I have installed and configured Bind9 to this guide found online: http://goo.gl/M3Pk i understand that I need to do this in order to 'host' the domain name. Or alternatively, if my presumptions are correct, I could leave the domain name with the registrar and use their DNS config panel to add an A record to point at my webserver (static IP address)???
If I forward port 53 (default for DNS) to my server (after setting up bind9 correctly) and within my domain name hosting options change the nameserver settings to point at my static ip address then would this be enough to host my domain from my home network?
I feel I nearly have a whole picture but...not quite. There's a multitude of vague guides on the internet (vague or I'm not reading them properly!)
