Ubuntu as LAMP server

2008-04-29T14:35:00.000+07:00

Installing Ubuntu as LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP - Perl - Python) Server is very easy. As it already has the choice available if you installing your Ubuntu using Ubuntu server CD. It'll install Apache with mod_php and PHP and Mysql along with php_mysql module. All tight up together. Not like in Fedora/CentOS/Redhat where you install Apache without PHP, which may lead to miss some configuration.

Simple and straight forward configuration is available on UbuntuGeek.com

5 Minutes Squid

2008-04-29T09:52:00.003+07:00

Using Fedora Core 4
based on Red Hat Magazine | Squid in 5 minutes
All command running as root

Check if squid is available:
# rpm -q squid
If squid available, it'll output something like
squid-2.5.STABLE9-7
if not then execute the command:
# yum install squid
Configure squid: (just added on the last line)
# cp /etc/squid/squid.conf ~
# vi /etc/squid/squid.conf
http_port 8080
acl intranet src 192.168.0.0/24
http_access allow intranet
Info:
Our proxy server running on port 8080 so make sure you open that port on firewall
and the proxy only allow connection from network 192.168.0.0/24
Turning on Squid:
# service squid start
# chkconfig squid on
Check Squid status:
# service squid status
# tail -f /var/log/messages/
# netstat -pant | grep 8080

last week my friend doing same changes on his centos box, try to apply new samba config. somehow he forgot to do it. and samba can't be restarted. so he restart the whole server. but then after restarting the server, it wont boot properly.

after checking what happen it seems after loading network driver, kernel sudddenly panic.
so I switch to init 1, disable network service. restart the box, and whala.... centos recognized the system as a new box, as kudzu pop-up and asking do you want to configure a new network card, a new mouse, etc, etc....

after doing same configuration on network and samba daemon. the box boot up properly.
yuuu hu....

inetd = the super internet server running all server application from one command then the appropriate server/daemon will activated when there is a requests from clients.
inetd.conf = contains inetd config what server/daemon to run when specifice service is requested by client. like this one below
ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sshd -i
service ssh is running by daemon sshd which wrapped by tcpd for security reason
tcpd = control who can access the specific service
file /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
/etc/services = type of services and on what port it running

[answer for /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/services are now found]

2003-01-06T21:10:00.000+07:00

folder /var/log is containing logs which are created by syslogd and klogd
for help type man syslog or man syslogd or man syslog.conf

Looking for answer what is the purpose of /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/services on the net and irc.
Does it got something to do with Ipchains/Iptables or inetd?

Got nothing/No Answer satisfied me.

Will go on with the next step: Install Netfilter, LIDS and Firewall
