Comments: 1 How To Set Up WebDAV With Apache2 On OpenSUSE 11.3 This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with Apache2 on an OpenSUSE 11.3 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 10.04

Comments: 1 Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS On Ubuntu 10.04 This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Ubuntu 10.04. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Fedora 13
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: fedora, ftp •
Comments: 0 Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Fedora 13 This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Debian Lenny
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: mysql, debian •
Comments: 5 How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Debian Lenny This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though.
