The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.4 x86_64 (nginx, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) - Page 6

21 Install Jailkit

Jailkit is needed only if you want to chroot SSH users. It can be installed as follows (important: Jailkit must be installed before ISPConfig - it cannot be installed afterwards!):

cd /tmp
wget http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/jailkit-2.15.tar.gz
tar xvfz jailkit-2.15.tar.gz
cd jailkit-2.15
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf jailkit-2.15*

 

22 Install fail2ban

This is optional but recommended, because the ISPConfig monitor tries to show the log:

yum install fail2ban

We must configure fail2ban to log to the log file /var/log/fail2ban.log because this is the log file that is monitored by the ISPConfig Monitor module. Open /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf...

vi /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf

... and comment out the logtarget = SYSLOG line and add logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log:

[...]
# Option:  logtarget
# Notes.:  Set the log target. This could be a file, SYSLOG, STDERR or STDOUT.
#          Only one log target can be specified.
# Values:  STDOUT STDERR SYSLOG file  Default:  /var/log/fail2ban.log
#
#logtarget = SYSLOG
logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log
[...]

Then create the system startup links for fail2ban and start it:

chkconfig --levels 235 fail2ban on
/etc/init.d/fail2ban start

 

23 Install rkhunter

rkhunter can be installed as follows:

yum install rkhunter

 

24 Install SquirrelMail

To install the SquirrelMail webmail client, run...

yum install squirrelmail

Then configure SquirrelMail:

/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl

We must tell SquirrelMail that we are using Dovecot:

One last thing we need to do is modify the file /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php and comment out the $default_folder_prefix variable - if you don't do this, you will see the following error message in SquirrelMail after you've logged in: Query: CREATE "Sent" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name.

vi /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php
<?php

/**
 * Local config overrides.
 *
 * You can override the config.php settings here.
 * Don't do it unless you know what you're doing.
 * Use standard PHP syntax, see config.php for examples.

//$default_folder_prefix                = '';
?>

You can now find SquirrelMail in the /usr/share/squirrelmail/ directory.

After you have installed ISPConfig 3, you can access SquirrelMail as follows:

The ISPConfig apps vhost on port 8081 for nginx comes with a SquirrelMail configuration, so you can use http://server1.example.com:8081/squirrelmail or http://server1.example.com:8081/webmail to access SquirrelMail.

If you want to use a /webmail or /squirrelmail alias that you can use from your web sites, this is a bit more complicated than for Apache because nginx does not have global aliases (i.e., aliases that can be defined for all vhosts). Therefore you have to define these aliases for each vhost from which you want to access SquirrelMail.

To do this, paste the following into the nginx Directives field on the Options tab of the web site in ISPConfig:

        location /squirrelmail {
               root /usr/share/;
               index index.php index.html index.htm;
               location ~ ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.php)$ {
                       try_files $uri =404;
                       root /usr/share/;
                       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                       fastcgi_index index.php;
                       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
                       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                       fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
                       fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                       fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
               }
               location ~* ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
                       root /usr/share/;
               }
        }
        location /webmail {
               rewrite ^/* /squirrelmail last;
        }

If you use https instead of http for your vhost, you should add the line fastcgi_param HTTPS on; to your SquirrelMail configuration like this:

        location /squirrelmail {
               root /usr/share/;
               index index.php index.html index.htm;
               location ~ ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.php)$ {
                       try_files $uri =404;
                       root /usr/share/;
                       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                       fastcgi_param HTTPS on; # <-- add this line
                       fastcgi_index index.php;
                       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
                       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                       fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
                       fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                       fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
               }
               location ~* ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
                       root /usr/share/;
               }
        }
        location /webmail {
               rewrite ^/* /squirrelmail last;
        }

If you use both http and https for your vhost, you can use the $https variable - go to the nginx Directives field again, and instead of fastcgi_param HTTPS on; you add the line fastcgi_param HTTPS $https; so that you can use SquirrelMail for both http and https requests:

        location /squirrelmail {
               root /usr/share/;
               index index.php index.html index.htm;
               location ~ ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.php)$ {
                       try_files $uri =404;
                       root /usr/share/;
                       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                       fastcgi_param HTTPS $https; # <-- add this line
                       fastcgi_index index.php;
                       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
                       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
                       fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
                       fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
                       fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
                       fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
               }
               location ~* ^/squirrelmail/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
                       root /usr/share/;
               }
        }
        location /webmail {
               rewrite ^/* /squirrelmail last;
        }
