Tried this tutorial in a VMWare image. Reminds me of Webmin, which is what I use for my server. Script installation took about 10 minutes, compared with several hours going through other tutorials.

This article goes through a quick and easy process for building a home or small business web server. The finished server will have Web server software, PHP, Perl, Ruby, MySQL, PostgreSQL, quotas, e-mail server software, anti-spam and anti-virus software, and a lot more good stuff. To top it off it will have a Web based GUI to control it all. Read on to learn how.

This topic is for discussion and questions about the article.

This article is very helpful. Now I will be able to host my own website. It cost so much for hosting services, so by having your own server a lot of money can be saved.

More notes... MySQL remote

More notes... MySQL remote access:

By default on this install, mySQL is set to only allow connections from 127.0.0.1

So I did searches on how to set this up. Most top google results come up with the option to use "skip-networking" in the conf. This didn't work. Then I found a comment in the conf file (/etc/mysql/my.conf ):

# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address = 127.0.0.1

I was like, DUH! so I added this line as well:

bind-address = 192.168.39.20

I have two NIC's installed, eth0 uses a dynamic address and gets handled with DynDNS, and eth1 is a static ip into my home network, which is the one I used so it is only accessible from home.

Anyhow, after a restart of mySQL, this is up and running. I wanted to share this here as like I said, none of the searches I did came up with this.

Added note for if you are

Added note for if you are using the server for a site that has a domain through something like dyndns.org

If the server will be getting the dynamic IP address itself, not going through a router, you can use ddclient:

apt-get install ddclient

Prompts you for the info to set the config file for you.

Also with it getting a dynamic IP address, once you set up the first virtual server, go edit the config for it:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/DOMAIN.conf

At the top there will the a line that shows yoru current IP address, change it to:

<VirtualHost *:80>

Now, also edit the last line of the apache main config:

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

The very last line will contain the ip address, change this as well to show the following:

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
NameVirtualHost *:80

Once you do this, when you set up a new virtual server in VirtualMin, even though it will show the actual ip address in the bottom most section, it will create *:80 in the new config file.

Tip, apparently, Apache will match the IP address BEFORE virtual server names, as even though they were all set up, the first server ahd the actual IP address, and no matter what domain I went to, it took me to the one with the actual IP address.
