Ubuntu :: Complete Server Setup From Scratch To Host Own Website?
Jan 18, 2011
setting up a web server and somehow searched the net for the best secured and optimized combination of packages. To focus on an example, let say you wanted to put up a website that's most likely similar to myspace / friendster / facebook or other related social network with high traffic. It would be nice to have a step-by-step guide on what are the requirements and best combination of packages to use. I'm sure this would be of best interest to everyone specially those who are just starting up. As we are going to focus on a webserver to host our own website lets assume we have the initial hardware/software resources for our server such as
A Core2 Dou 2.33Ghz CPU with 4Gb memory, 80Gb HD
Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64bit.
HardwareWhat would be the advisable internet connection speed that can accommodate the type of website that we're putting up. (please consider that we are going to host this at our own home)I pressume the hardware mentioned above is more than enough but just incase, Do we need more hardware resources than the one mentioned? (considering the huge amount of photos that will be uploaded)Software What would be the best choice combination of packages for the following ?Http Server (ie. nginx, apache and etc)
Email Server (ie. postfix, courier and etc)
Email Client (ie. roundcube, squirell mail etc)
Database Server (ie. mysql, postresql and etc)
[code]....

building your own with perhaps LAMP. It appears the purpose of one is to test websites? Is it not possible to use your server on the web and actually host a website or blog or whatever?

Are there programs for this? Really really simple page layouts that you can edit and host from a graphical desktop that has your web browsers and Pidgen and VLC media player and everything running on it at the same time?

I have a load balancer with 2 web servers behind it. The web servers rsync with cloud storage to update their apache directories 1 time every hour. Apache is just running php pages that pull/push data to a DB so they dont need to be updated that often. However I need to figure out how to implement a Master/Master MySQL setup to have my web servers point to for the PHP stuff. I need to implement it without having a single point of failure. The Load balancers are useless for failover as they only detect availability based on Ping request. So putting a master/master setup behind a Load Balancer is out. what is the best way to setup the master/master mysql in a HA setup without the use of a load balancer provided by the host?

I am having a time at trying to get a simple FTP setup to my Var/www/html folder for my canned Joomla website. I can log in anon with no write permissions, but it will not log in using any users I have setup on the server. I've googled a bunch, but nothing to correct my 530 authentication failure when I try to log in as one of my user accounts for the server.

I have 4 domains registered through godaddy. I have a dell poweredge box with one static IP hosted somewhere. I want the 4 domain to resolve to four different sites. I have already created 4 different sites in apache with four different aliases and has enabled it.
eg
alias /a /var/www/a
alias /b /var/www/b
alias /c /var/www/c
I want to acomplish.
www.a.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/a
www.b.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/b
www.c.com ==> xx.xx.xx.xx/c
I tried with godaddys forward with masking option. It works but I can't hide xx.xx.xx.xx/a in the links. Whats the best approach? One limitation is I cannot use the webhosts name servers. How do I set this up with name based virtual hosting? Do I setup a DNS server in the box?
I do have a dns host name for my box which is publicy accessible. Some my.ca.examplehost.net

I was trying to setup SSL Client authentication on only one virtual host. Here is a brief excerpt sample of my conf file for the virtual host:
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:443>
SSLRequire %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O} eq "something"
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 2
</VirtualHost>
But when I try to check for syntax errors tells me SSLRequire not allowed here I do not want to add SSLRequire on the main httpd.conf because I only want it for one virtual host. The rest of the virtual hosts do not need it.

My problem is that I can't setup a diskless environment with CentOS 5.4 (server) and CentOS 3.9 (hosts). On the host, I've recompiled the CentOS 3.9 kernel, with these mods:
- added kernel level IP autoconfiguration;
- added NFS file system support;
- added Root file system on NFS;
- added e1000 driver (the host has a gigabit network card);
Then, I have followed the guide at this link: [URL]
But in my dhcpd.conf I'he put other parameters:
ddns-update-style interim;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
subnet 192.168.195.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

I am trying to set up samba in my CentOS virtual machine that is running on a Windows 7 host. I have found a tutorial in the How-Tos on this site but I'm not sure if they are exact and I'm paranoid about messing something up. The link to the tutorial is below. Is there anything that I should do different or anything that I should be aware of? Also, once this is set up, how do I transfer files between the two machines?

I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum. I'd like to open this to discuss server administration, server setup, and server maintenance. However, I have a pretty good start on all of those but serving a domain name to my static ip. Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.
[code]...
I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.

I have tried the following with no success: # yum install perl-Class-Template from the Rpmforge repo [URL] Or use the cpan command 1) # yum install perl-CPAN

The website I am trying to get working is hosted on CentOS. The version is 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5PAE. Im trying to get migrate the site from one server to another and now the cgi script doesnt execute correctly as it requires the class Template which is in a folder within the website tree.

I've heard that all one needs to do to host a website is to install apache2 and then create my own webpages in /var/www. Like I could start out putting a file "index.html" in /var/www and it would show up on the web.If this is true, what would my website address be on the web?

I can't reach my website via http. I'm not sure but I think I just need to unblock port 80. But I can't find where a firewall has even been installed on my machine. ufw status returns inactive. sudo aptitude search firewall shows nothing installed.
Nslookup mydomain.com returns the correct IP. Pinging works.
But typing in the domain name or IP through the web browser just results in a "Network Timeout...Taking too long to respond."
Wget just hangs looking for MySiteName.com:80
VirtualHost has been set up and apache restarted. Site works fine with the ServerAlias I have assigned in my hosts file.

I'm trying to setup my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop to host a small website that I can practice and learn stuff with and I'm a little stuck at the minute.
I have got Apache2 and the LAMP stack installed okay, along with phpMyAdmin and can give my external IP to anyone with the http:// and anyone can view my website that way but what I want to do is have my IP resolve into a domain name like ooloo-website.net but I don't know how to do this.
Is there any way that I can do this like register my IP to a free DNS and domain website without buying a domain or using one of those free ones like ooloo.webhost.net or do I need to host everything myself like DNS and the domain? Can I even do all of this myself?

We have Verizon as our ISP with a dynamic IP address. We published our website but the IP changes frequently. How can we set Network address translator(NAT) so our website can be published regardless of IP changes? We don't have domain name and have no intention for one.
