Comments: 9 Nagios Installation On Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) This tutorial shows how to set up Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.4) server with the Nagios Monitoring System.

Comments: 6 How To Install And Configure Cherokee Web Server With PHP 5 And MySQL 5 Support On Ubuntu 8.10 Server (Intrepid Ibex) This tutorial shows how to install Cherokee from source with PHP and MySQL support on a Ubuntu 8.10 server machine. The reason for compiling from source instead of using apt to install binary packages is that there are older versions in the repositories than the ones available on Cherokee's homepage. The main goal is to install the webserver so I didn't bother compiling everything else. That way you won't spend to much time on doing things I didn't want to describe.
