Pushing Linux through small vendors
by Dinesh Joshi 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi people, A few days ago my computer vendor came to me with some real problems regarding Linux. Hes a small time guy who supplies assembled PCs to individuals and maybe some small companies. Anyway, he owns an office and himself is pissed off with Microsoft's products as he has to format the machines every other day. Another reason pushing him towards Linux is that hes now getting inquiries regarding installing Linux from home users. And Vista cracks are not yet stable and widely available :… [View More]

pls test my LAMP installation
by Agnello George 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Please test my LAMP instalation aqnd let me know if you find any errors .... this wud be really gr8 help 1. Installing Apache 2.2.3 a) Download the Apache 2.2.3 source files from http://httpd.apache.org b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) change the working directory to the directory containing the extracted source files d) Run the following command for basic apache installation ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-… [View More]mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-shared=max --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=so --enable-shared=ssl --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/RPM/openssl-0.9.8d make make install 2. Installing PHP 5.2.0 a) Download the PHP 5.2.0 source files from http://www.php.net b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) change the working directory to the directory containing the extracted source files d) Run the following command for PHP installation ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-gd --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --enable-exif e)Build the PHP configuration using the following command make f) Install PHP make install 3. Installing MySQL 5.x a) Download the MysQL source files from http://www.mysql.com b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) Create the mysql user and group using the following commands groupadd mysql useradd -g mysql -c "MySQL Server" mysql d) Create a symbolic link to the MySQL source directory in a directory of your choice. (I use /usr/local/). Here is an example of the same ln -s /software/mysql-max-4.1.22-pc-linux-gnu-i686 /usr/local/mysql e) Change the working directory to the symbolic link that you have created in the server. f) Execute the following command ./scripts/mysql_install_db The above command will install the mysql and the test database g) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql using the following command chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql Where root is the user and mysql is the group h) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql/data using the following command chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data i) Copy the default configuration file for the expected size of the database (small, medium, large, huge) cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf chown root:sys /etc/my.cnf chmod 644 /etc/my.cnf j) Now we have to tell the system where to find some of the dynamic libraries that MySQL will need to run. We use dynamic libraries instead of static to keep the memory usage of the MySQL program itself to a minimum. echo "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig k) Now create a startup script, which enables MySQL auto-start each time your server is restarted. cp ./support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysql on l) Then set up symlinks for all the MySQL binaries, so they can be run from anyplace without having to include/specify long paths, , etc cd cd /usr/local/mysql/bin for file in *; do ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/$file /usr/bin/$file; done m) First, we will assume that only applications on the same server will be allowed to access the database (i.e., not a program running on a physically separate server). So we'll tell MySQL not to even listen on port 3306 for TCP connections l ike it does by default. Edit /etc/my.cnf and uncomment the skip-networking n) Start MySQL -- Warm Regards Agnello .

In case a passphrase exists you have to put it in. Also since keys are dependent upon user account or user permission from which the command is being executed so the appropriate ssh key of that person stored in the … [View More]
