Comments on The Perfect Setup - SuSE 10.1 (32-bit)

The Perfect Setup - SuSE 10.1 (32-bit) This is a detailed description about how to set up a SuSE 10.1 based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web server (SSL-capable), mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server, POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc.).In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

This step by step instruction is so easy that even I could make it work.  I have tried other how-tos in the past relating to Linux and have found that many of them assume that I know what I am doing at a command line interface.  While I have a lot of computer background, all of my experience is with Microsoft software.  This How-to is very well written, and I was able to set up and even use my server with no problems at all.  This is the first time I have ever had that happen in Linux. Once again, thank you for these well written instructions.

Hi Falko,

 First off, you done an awesome job on the tutorial. You should really consider doing this professionally for Novell/Red Hat since their documentation is fairly atrocious when it comes to missing steps.

 
I want to ask how secure this setup is? Are people using this exact setup for production web servers? Is this meant only for testing environments? Could this be used for a company as an internal corporate web/intranet server provided its secure?

 
What else would you consider to be necessary for this server?

Thanks for your time in helping others,

A tip: the compile of the embedded PHP fails because it doesn't find the openssl libraries. In Opensuse x86_64, they reside in /usr/lib64, so the easy way to solve the problem is to create symlinks for the openssl libraries in /usr/lib. For example: ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so /usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.a /usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so /usr/lib
