12 Install BIND

The BIND nameserver can be installed as follows:

yast2 -i bind

Create the BIND system startup links and start it:

chkconfig --add named
/etc/init.d/named start

13 Install Webalizer And AWStats

Since ISPConfig 3 lets you choose if you want to use Webalizer or AWStats to create your web site statistics, we install both:

yast2 -i webalizer perl-DateManip

rpm -ivh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/utilities/openSUSE_11.3/noarch/awstats-6.95-3.1.noarch.rpm

14 Install fail2ban

fail2ban can be installed as follows:

yast2 -i fail2ban

15 Install Jailkit

Jailkit can be installed like this:

rpm -ivh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/jailkit-2.11-1.2.x86_64.rpm

16 Synchronize The System Clock

If you want to have the system clock synchronized with an NTP server do the following:

yast2 -i xntp

Then add system startup links for ntp and start ntp:

chkconfig --add ntp
/etc/init.d/ntp start

17 ISPConfig 3

Download the current ISPConfig 3 version and install it. The ISPConfig installer will configure all services like Postfix, Dovecot, etc. for you. A manual setup as required for ISPConfig 2 is not necessary anymore.

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ispconfig/ISPConfig-3.0.2.2.tar.gz?use_mirror=
tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.0.2.2.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install/

Now start the installation process by executing:

php -q install.php

server1:/tmp/ispconfig3_install/install # php -q install.php

Create a symlink for phpMyAdmin:

ln -s /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/phpmyadmin

Cleanup the /tmp directory:

rm -rf /tmp/ispconfig3_install
rm -f /tmp/ISPConfig-3.0.2.2.tar.gz

Open /etc/suphp.conf...

vi /etc/suphp.conf

... and make sure that it contains x-httpd-suphp instead of x-httpd-php towards the end of the file:

[...]

;Handler for php-scripts
;x-httpd-php="php:/usr/bin/php-cgi5"
x-httpd-suphp="php:/usr/bin/php-cgi5"

18 Install SquirrelMail (Optional)

Install a SquirrelMail, a web-based email client:

rpm -ivh http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/openSUSE_11.3/noarch/squirrelmail-1.4.20-1.1.noarch.rpm

ln -s /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/webmail

19 Disable AppArmor

AppArmor is a security extension of SUSE (similar to Fedora's SELinux) that should provide extended security. In my opinion you don't need it to configure a secure system, and it usually causes more problems than advantages (think of it after you have done a week of trouble-shooting because some service wasn't working as expected, and then you find out that everything was ok, only AppArmor was causing the problem). Therefore I disable it (this is a must if you want to install ISPConfig later on).

We can disable it like this:

/etc/init.d/boot.apparmor stop
chkconfig -d boot.apparmor
