Running A File- And Print-Server With eBox On Ubuntu 8.04 Server This article shows how to run a file- and print-server for small and medium enterprises (SME) on one single Ubuntu 8.04 server. It is very easy to set up, and management is done with an easy-to-use web interface called eBox so once the system is set up, you can forget about the command line. eBox was developed to administrate advanced services for corporate networks.

If you did something wrong and/or would like to change some settings, you need to do the following for complete uninstall (don't need "sudo" if logged in as root):

sudo apt-get remove --purge "^ebox-.*"
sudo apt-get remove --purge libebox

Hi Falko,

I believe a comment needs to be added at the end of page 2 about changing the port to eg 444 instead 443 when running a web/intranet server from the same server. Apache2 uses 443.

Best Wishes

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

the package is simply not installable and a bug report against

that package should be filed.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

ebox-mailfilter: Depends: clamav (< 0.94) but 0.94.dfsg.2-1ubuntu0.3~hardy4 is to be installed

Depends: clamav-daemon (< 0.94) but 0.94.dfsg.2-1ubuntu0.3~hardy4 is to be installed

Depends: clamav-freshclam (< 0.94) but 0.94.dfsg.2-1ubuntu0.3~hardy4 is to be installed

E: Broken packages

user@server:~$

Where do you guys get firefox or any other browser?

8.04 server does not come with firefox that I can find, and when I download it and install it it gives off an error of some kind which I cannot remember, but that is immaterial...Falco just kicked firefox into gear and I see no way...I even installed kde and xwindows for a graphical environment, and still firefox won't run.

by the time you get to this stage you should be using a different computer to log in to the server. the server edition of ubuntu doesn't include a gui for the simple fact that it is a server & not a desktop machine. you can even disconnect the keyboard & monitor from the server box now. use the terminal on another linux machine or putty for windows to log in remotely, or your favourite web browser to access the server's web interface.

I noticed that this tutorial recommends to disable all of AppArmor. Unless you have a very specific need to do so, this is not recommended. In particular, there have been vulnerabilities in CUPS that the apparmor profile proactively protected against on systems that did not apply the security updates in a timely manner. The apparmor profiles shipped in Ubuntu are designed to work with the default installation. If a particular profile is causing you trouble, please disable the profile or put it in complain mode, and leave the other profiles that are not causing problems to do their jobs. Better yet, file a bug. :) See my blog entry athttp://penguindroppings.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/should-i-disable-apparmor/ for details.
