Comments on The Perfect Server - Fedora 7
The Perfect Server - Fedora 7 This is a detailed description about how to set up a Fedora 7 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, Dovecot POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. This tutorial is written for the 32-bit version of Fedora 7, but should apply to the 64-bit version with very little modifications as well.

Until these how-to's start to incorporate SELinux, AppArmour or equivilant technologies they are not perfect. Just because it is difficult doesn't mean it should be excluded immediately upon start up. I mean come on, Fedora 7 is far better for SELinux then previous versions, yet still, people churn out these how-tos which immediately disables it.
Thanks for the How-Tos, but how 'bout some with SELinux enabled, and the problems that were found.
I've just run this setup with great effect on Fedora Core 6 which came pre-installed with my dedicated server. There were just two small things to note:
Before Step 4 (installing apache):
If you want to install a suPHP with ISPConfig later, you will need to install the apache2 header files otherwise compilation will fail. Run the following:
yum install httpd-devel
Step 6 (disabling the firewall):
The command in fc6 should be:
system-config-securitylevel-tui
I hope this helps somebody!
