The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server) This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, but should apply to the 64-bit version with very little modifications as well.

Thank's for this great tutorial!!

On my minimal Ubuntu 8.04 installation I have to add some addional packages to run ISPconfig on the server:

  • cron
  • iptables
  • telnet (only for the test in your tutorial, not for ISPconfig)
Also I think it's helpfull to install 'wget' for external software.

It has known security holes that are no longer going to be patched.

I have set this up on a dev server and it works good.

I'm planning my install for the production system which has four processors and 3 mirror drives.  I'm trying to think ahead about system expansion.  I'd like to make it easy as possible for me to move existing servers onto new machines as I expand.

Is it possible to put the MySql and Postfix on seperate machines fairly easily using this tutorial with ISPConfig still functional?

If it is easy should I use VMWare and make multiple virtual machines or should I put it all on one box.

Thanks,

Darren

Hi, I am stuck as how do I really set my static address:

address  (What address is this?) 
netmask 255.255.255.0
network (What network address?)
broadcast (What broadcast address?)
gateway 219.93.218.177

I can only find my netmask and gateway address.

Thanks, please shed some light, anyone. :)

http://www.whatismyip.com/ is website where you can find your public ip address. you need to set up port forwarding if you have a router set it to forward port 80 to your internal ip address. you can find out your internal ip address by running this command: ifconfigafter that look at  the one that says etho or something like that. The one that says "inet add" that is your internal ip address
