Perfect Installation Fedora Core 4

[cybereatl]

Hi there,

Am trying to follow tutorial but I got stock on "Setting the hostname"


echo server.inspiron.com > /etc/hostname/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

shows:
bash: etc/hostname/bin/hostname: No such file or directory

Should I create a file or directory??

Hi there,

Am trying to follow tutorial but I got stock on "Setting the hostname"


echo server.inspiron.com > /etc/hostname/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

shows:
bash: etc/hostname/bin/hostname: No such file or directory

The command must be split up in two lines:

echo server.inspiron.com > /etc/hostname
/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

[cybereatl]

Hi there, I worked split it and did ok, the next step with quota got me stuck.
I typed:
[root@server admin]# quotacheck -avugm
bash: quotacheck: command not found
[root@server admin]# quota check -avugm
quota: invalid option -- a
quota: Usage: quota [-guqvs] [-l | -Q] [-i] [-F quotaformat]

[root@server admin]# quotaon
bash: quotaon: command not found

I figure that maybe quota wasn't installed but I did ti before:

[root@server admin]# yum install quota

Are you logged in as root? You must be root in order to set up quota.

Actually am logged as admin, but I use:

and I got

Thank you

Please run updatedb
locate quotacheck and post the output.

quotacheck is installed. I guess your PATH variable is wrong. Please post the output of echo $PATH (you must run this as root).

/sbin is not in your PATH. Please post the output of /root/.profile and /etc/profile.

[cybereatl]

here is what I got, also I have logged in as root

There is a Question!! am planning to try to deploy a web server using ISPConfig, but first am trying to meet perfect fedora core 4 setup, and I got a question about IP addresses, I got a public one but when creating eth0 and eth0:0 I got the public IP, but what about the :0 address.

I know that I need to run a firewall, and I got Astaro but I don't know how to configure it, so am stuck again there.

Thanks for advise.

[falko]

[root@server ~]# /etc/profile
bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied
[root@server ~]#
Try cat /etc/profile

However, you can create /root/.profile with the following content:

# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

mesg n

Then log out and log in as root again and run echo $PATH again and check if /sbin is in there now.

The part about eth0:0 is totally optional, you don't need it. It's there to show you how you do it if you hae more than one IP address.

[cybereatl]

I did follow your instructions and I got:

Create file .profile and paste it in /root the log out and get back in then run:
[root@morticia ~]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
[root@morticia ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
[root@morticia ~]# quotaon -avug
[root@morticia ~]#

In the mean time I was following step to have Fedora up and running and then I found on:
[root@morticia ssl]# openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024
that is asking me for:
[root@morticia ssl]# openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024

e is 65537 (0x10001)
Enter pass phrase for smtpd.key:
and I typed the root password and then:
Verifying - Enter pass phrase for smtpd.key:
back again and typed root password.

Am doing it right or not?? later I filled out the certificate info.

Now I got this:
[root@morticia ssl]# chkconfig ipop3s on
error reading information on service ipop3s: No such file or directory
[root@morticia ssl]#
the other were just fine, just got that error

Then I went thru:

[root@morticia ssl]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

So not everything is fine!!!!

[root@morticia ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
[root@morticia ~]# quotaon -avug
[root@morticia ~]#

Ok, your PATH is correct now. :) But you forgot to add ,userquota,groupquota into /etc/fstab and remount the appropriate partition. Please have a look at the "Perfect Setup" tutorial for Fedora, it's shown there.

It can be any password you want. It's not important.

It must be chkconfig pop3s on (without i).

You made a typo in your /etc/postfix/main.cf. Please run
postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous'
and restart Postfix.

Thanks for your help!!

I did change error and typed:
It's works like a charm!!! now am moving on to next step thanks a lot.

Now i got some errors:
Those are in the perl.txt file!!!
It seems to be that every step got some to do!!

[falko]

/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
You must install gcc. Run yum search gcc and install the appropriate package(s).

[cybereatl]

I did yum intall gcc and went ok,
I runned install HTML::Parser and got

/usr/bin/make -- OK

then I ran install DB_File
and got an error.txt

I runned install Digest::SHA1
Digest is up to date (2.11)

I runned install Net:: DNS
Net:: DNS is up to date (0.55)

3 of 4, I think that almost done!!!

There is any place on where you can download "Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS" files without has to be online, my home DSL is not too fast, but at my office is super.. any reference???

You must install the db and db-devel packages for Fedora Core 4. I don't know their exact names, so you must search them with yum search db and yum search db-devel

Also have a look at these threads:

[falko]

Just found this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2339

The name of the package is db4-devel, so you can install it by running
apt-get install db4-devel or
yum install db4-devel :)

[cybereatl]

Cool, thanks Falko!!!
When you mention ....asked if the default directory /home/www should be the directory where ISPConfig will create websites in. Answer n and enter /var/www as the home directory for websites.

You said that is to run CGI scripts under suExec, what is suExec and present any problem to work with joomla?? or is only to deploy cgi-bin access sites??

Thanks, now moving on to ISPConfig forums, thanks for the help Falko

[till]

You said that is to run CGI scripts under suExec, what is suExec and present any problem to work with joomla?? or is only to deploy cgi-bin access sites??

SuExec is for running CGI-Scripts under the website admin user and group instead of the user of the apache webserver (e.g. www-run).

On the first sight, it affects only cgi-scripts that run in the cgi-bin dir. But you can also solve problems with CMS systems like joomla that run with PHP and need write access to some directorys. If you install PHP as PHP-CGI instead of mod_php and have suexec enabled, you can run joomly without having to chmod some directorys wit 777 permissions or chowning them to the apache user.

Falko has just written a howto that explains how you can run PHP4 as CGI:

http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4

I used "The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 4 " tut and when I place my Joomla 1.008 installation files into my /var/www/http/my dir and I go to http:// my IP I get php code displayed. It almost seems that I don’t have the PHP installed, but I wen through all of the steps and received no errors.

I didn’t install the ISPconfig , but I installed webmin 1.26.


Any suggestions at all?

[till]

The guide prepares the setup of ISPCOnfig, therefor you had to disable PHP beacuse ISPConfig configures PHP on a per website basis.

Have a look at the steps in the howto where you disabled some settings in the apache files and undo these settings. Then restart apache.

[cybereatl]

How is your joomla instalation going, am hosting 5 sites runnig joomla using ISPConfig and am having some issues with language packages also with some live support software but am presenting permissions problems and I couldn't get a clean installation of joomla.

Let me know how is working for you, am using fedora core 4 and joomla 1.0.8

Cheers :)

[jsteurer]

Thanks all for the help and now it's finially working...

cybereatl - I'm using Joomla 1.08 as well and I went throught the installation with no problem once I was able to view the page. Now I have to add content.

[cybereatl]

If you want to share more experiences about joomla, you can visit my forum at www.educandote.com/forums am looking for live support modules for joomla, right now am using hcl but running joomla present some errors.
