The Perfect Setup - Mandriva 2007 Free Edition - Page 6
14 Proftpd
Install Proftpd like this:
urpmi proftpd
When you see the following:
One of the following packages is needed:
1- proftpd-mod_wrap_file-1.3.0-4mdv2007.0.i586 : A file-specific driver for the mod_wrap module for ProFTPD (to install)
2- proftpd-mod_wrap_sql-1.3.0-4mdv2007.0.i586 : A SQL database driver for the mod_wrap module for ProFTPD (to install)
type in 1.
For security reasons you can add the following lines to /etc/proftpd.conf (thanks to Reinaldo Carvalho; more information can be found here: http://www.proftpd.org/localsite/Userguide/linked/userguide.html):
vi /etc/proftpd.conf
[...] DefaultRoot ~ IdentLookups off ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready." [...] |
Be sure to comment out the following lines in /etc/proftpd.conf in order to allow ftp users to CHMOD:
[...] ## Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default #<Limit SITE_CHMOD> # DenyAll #</Limit> |
Then restart Proftpd:
/etc/init.d/proftpd restart
15 Webalizer
Mandriva 2007 doesn't come with a Webalizer package anymore, therefore we install the static Webalizer binary from the Webalizer web site like this:
cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/webalizer-2.01-10-static.gz
gunzip webalizer-2.01-10-static.gz
mv webalizer-2.01-10-static /usr/bin/webalizer
chmod 755 /usr/bin/webalizer
16 Install Some Perl Modules Needed By SpamAssassin (Comes With ISPConfig)
To install all needed Perl Modules, we can use the appropriate Mandriva packages and install them using urpmi:
urpmi perl-HTML-Parser perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-DB_File perl-Net-DNS
17 The End
The configuration of the server is now finished, and if you wish you can now install ISPConfig on it.
18 A Note On SuExec
If you want to run CGI scripts under suExec, you should specify /var/www as the web root for websites created by ISPConfig as Mandriva's suExec is compiled with /var/www as Doc_Root. Run
/usr/sbin/suexec -V
and the output should look like this:
Unless you install ISPConfig in expert mode and change the default web root (which is /var/www), you will be able to run CGI scripts under suExec with ISPConfig.
