The Perfect Server - Fedora 15 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]
| Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2011-05-26 16:18. :: Fedora | ISPConfig | Web Server | Apache | Control Panels | Email | Postfix The Perfect Server - Fedora 15 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]Last edited 05/26/2011 This tutorial shows how to prepare a Fedora 15 server (x86_64) for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, BIND nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more. Please note that this setup does not work for ISPConfig 2! It is valid for ISPConfig 3 only! I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! ISPConfig 3 ManualIn order to learn how to use ISPConfig 3, I strongly recommend to download the ISPConfig 3 Manual. On about 300 pages, it covers the concept behind ISPConfig (admin, resellers, clients), explains how to install and update ISPConfig 3, includes a reference for all forms and form fields in ISPConfig together with examples of valid inputs, and provides tutorials for the most common tasks in ISPConfig 3. It also lines out how to make your server more secure and comes with a troubleshooting section at the end.
ISPConfig Monitor App For AndroidWith the ISPConfig Monitor App, you can check your server status and find out if all services are running as expected. You can check TCP and UDP ports and ping your servers. In addition to that you can use this app to request details from servers that have ISPConfig installed (please note that the minimum installed ISPConfig 3 version with support for the ISPConfig Monitor App is 3.0.3.3!); these details include everything you know from the Monitor module in the ISPConfig Control Panel (e.g. services, mail and system logs, mail queue, CPU and memory info, disk usage, quota, OS details, RKHunter log, etc.), and of course, as ISPConfig is multiserver-capable, you can check all servers that are controlled from your ISPConfig master server. For download and usage instructions, please visit http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/ispconfig-monitor-app-for-android/.
1 RequirementsTo install such a system you will need the following:
2 Preliminary NoteIn this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and the gateway 192.168.0.1. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate. Please make sure that the system that you want to upgrade has more than 600 MB of RAM - otherwise the system might hang when it tries to boot with the following message: Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
3 Install The Base SystemBoot from your Fedora 15 DVD. Select Install a new system or upgrade an existing system:
It can take a long time to test the installation media so we skip this test here:
Choose your language next:
Select your keyboard layout:
I assume that you use a locally attached hard drive, so you should select Basic Storage Devices here:
As we want a fresh Fedora installation, click on the Yes, discard any data button next:
Fill in the hostname of the server:
Choose your time zone:
Give root a password:
Next we do the partitioning. Select Replace Existing Linux System(s). This will give you a small /boot partition and a large / partition which is fine for our purposes:
Select Write Changes to Disk:
The hard drive is being formatted:
Now we select the software we want to install. Uncheck Graphical Desktop and check Web Server instead. Then check Customize now. Afterwards, select the additional repositories Fedora 15 - x86_64 and Fedora 15 - x86_64 - Updates (if you are on an i686 system, the names are probably Fedora 15 - i686 and Fedora 15 - i686 - Updates):
As the last two repositories need an Internet connection, a new window pops up where you have to configure your network card. Select your network card and click on OK:

Hey Don,
ReplyDeleteI am loving this Fedora post! The pictures are not showing up for me under Opera and Firefox, not sure if its just me or not. I have an older 750MHz Pentium 2 with I think 256 MB RAM, sitting in my basement, what Fedora do you think I could cram on there for server purposes or should I consider something else? I would love to simply host my own sites as I have a UPS as it is :)
P.S My next project is going to be rebuilding a 30 year old stator from a lawn tractor that caught on fire :O
(I haven't seen it yet, but i'm horrified)
bye for now,
Jordan
Thanks:) Glad the Fedora 15 info was interesting. Sorry about the images not working. That has to do with the way I do my Posts. I e-mail them to my Blog and they automatically get Posted. Some images work, but most don't. I think it has something to do with Google or the Web Site that I copy and pasted the info and Pics form and their permissions. I can go back and manually save and then upload the Pics to the Posts. But that takes forever!:O but, if I Attache images to the e-mail, then they all show up at the top of the Post. Not where I want them to be in the Post. So, I just let most of them go. Since you can go to the original articles to see the Pics and I do want to send traffic to the great Web Sites and Writers that I find out there... For a 750mhz machine with only 256mb of ram. You might have to go all the way back to Fedora 5 to 7. I can't remember the System Requirements for sure on those though. I know Fedora 14 needs a minimum of 512mb of Ram. It just so happens that I just wrote a new Post Today on my favorite Linux Server OS. It's called CAOS. And it is an RPM based Distro, like Fedora. I am running it on an old 400mhz P3 with about 350mb of Ram and it runs great. I Self Host my Web Sites on it, BishopCo.com and DonSongs.com are two sites on there. CAOS Linux - CAOS NSA 1.0.29.i386 to version 2.6.31.6-2.caos. I have been running my Web Site on CAOS 1.0 for 2 or 3 Years now (can't remember for sure). And I love CAOS!:) It is ready to go for Serving a Web Site, FTP File Server and a Mail Server (which ever options you choose upon installation). And it is very easy to Install and Setup. Just remember, that the Installation Process will Format All Drives in the Computer you install CAOS On. Read the rest at... http://donsdeals.blogspot.com/2011/06/caos-linux-caos-nsa-1029i386-to-version.html. Debian UDLCD only need 64mb of Ram. But I have only tried it out Live. Don't know how hard it would be to setup as a Server. Linux Mint Debian might work. It's pretty light on resource use too. But, not sure about 256mb Ram Systems. If you could just add another Ram Stick, you would have allot more options. Oh, and DSL Linux will run on on a P1 with less than 64mb of Ram. It is not being updated any more though. SliTaz-Linux, is another Distro that I am trying out now in Virtual Box and it has a version that is supposed to run on 32mb of Ram (64mb for sure). If you want to e-mail me sometime. I can send you plenty of links... Dweb98@charter.net
ReplyDeleteA 30 year old stator from a lawn tractor... Hmmm sounds like a good Project!:) I've never rewound anything like that. I have taken apart cleaned and put new brushes in a few Starters and my Electric Window Motor in my 83 Dodge Van. The Passenger side works great. Now I need to do the Driver Side...
