The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 12.3 x86_64 (Apache2, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) - Page 4
15 Install Jailkit
Jailkit can be installed like this:
zypper install http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_12.3/x86_64/jailkit-2.13-1.4.x86_64.rpm
16 Synchronize The System Clock
If you want to have the system clock synchronized with an NTP server do the following:
zypper install xntp
Then add system startup links for ntp and start ntp:
systemctl enable ntp.service
systemctl start ntp.service
17 Install rkhunter
rkhunter can be installed as follows:
zypper install rkhunter
18 Install SquirrelMail
To install the SquirrelMail webmail client, run:
zypper install squirrelmail-beta
Next we create the aliases /webmail and /squirrelmail right at the beginning of /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf so that SquirrelMail can be accessed from any vhost (e.g. http://www.example.com/webmail or http://www.example.com/squirrelmail):
vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf
Alias /squirrelmail /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail Alias /webmail /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail [...] |
Next we create the directory /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/data and give it sufficient permissions so that the www group can write to it:
mkdir /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/data
chown root:www /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/data
chmod 770 /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/data
Again comment out this line
vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_suphp.conf
[...]
DirectoryIndex index.php5
<Location />
# suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php
[...]
Then restart Apache:
systemctl restart apache2.service
Then configure SquirrelMail:
/srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl
We must tell SquirrelMail that we are using Dovecot:
WARNING:
The file "config/config.php" was found, but it is for
an older version of SquirrelMail. It is possible to still
read the defaults from this file but be warned that many
preferences change between versions. It is recommended that
you start with a clean config.php for each upgrade that you
do. To do this, just move config/config.php out of the way.
Continue loading with the old config.php [y/N]? <-- y
Do you want me to stop warning you [y/N]? <-- y

SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php
---------------------------------------------------------
While we have been building SquirrelMail, we have discovered some
preferences that work better with some servers that don't work so
well with others. If you select your IMAP server, this option will
set some pre-defined settings for that server.
Please note that you will still need to go through and make sure
everything is correct. This does not change everything. There are
only a few settings that this will change.
Please select your IMAP server:
bincimap = Binc IMAP server
courier = Courier IMAP server
cyrus = Cyrus IMAP server
dovecot = Dovecot Secure IMAP server
exchange = Microsoft Exchange IMAP server
hmailserver = hMailServer
macosx = Mac OS X Mailserver
mercury32 = Mercury/32
uw = University of Washington's IMAP server
gmail = IMAP access to Google mail (Gmail) accounts
quit = Do not change anything

After you have created a website in ISPConfig, you can access SquirrelMail using the /webmail or /squirrelmail aliases:
19 ISPConfig 3
Before we install ISPConfig 3, make sure that the /var/vmail/ directory exists:
mkdir /var/vmail/
Download the current ISPConfig 3 version and install it. The ISPConfig installer will configure all services like Postfix, Dovecot, etc. for you. A manual setup as required for ISPConfig 2 is not necessary anymore.
You now also have the possibility to let the installer create an SSL vhost for the ISPConfig control panel, so that ISPConfig can be accessed using https:// instead of http://. To achieve this, just press ENTER when you see this question: Do you want a secure (SSL) connection to the ISPConfig web interface (y,n) [y]:.
cd /tmp
wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.0.5.4b.tar.gz
tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.0.5.4b.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install/
Now start the installation process by executing:
php -q install.php
server1:/tmp/ispconfig3_install/install # php -q install.php

rm -f /tmp/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz
Open /etc/suphp.conf...

Afterwards you can access ISPConfig 3 under http(s)://server1.example.com:8080/ or http(s)://192.168.0.100:8080/ (http or https depends on what you chose during installation). Log in with the username admin and the password admin (you should change the default password after your first login):
19.1 ISPConfig 3 Manual
In order to learn how to use ISPConfig 3, I strongly recommend to download the ISPConfig 3 Manual.
On about 300 pages, it covers the concept behind ISPConfig (admin, resellers, clients), explains how to install and update ISPConfig 3, includes a reference for all forms and form fields in ISPConfig together with examples of valid inputs, and provides tutorials for the most common tasks in ISPConfig 3. It also lines out how to make your server more secure and comes with a troubleshooting section at the end.
19.2 ISPConfig Monitor App For Android
With the ISPConfig Monitor App, you can check your server status and find out if all services are running as expected. You can check TCP and UDP ports and ping your servers. In addition to that you can use this app to request details from servers that have ISPConfig installed (please note that the minimum installed ISPConfig 3 version with support for the ISPConfig Monitor App is 3.0.3.3!); these details include everything you know from the Monitor module in the ISPConfig Control Panel (e.g. services, mail and system logs, mail queue, CPU and memory info, disk usage, quota, OS details, RKHunter log, etc.), and of course, as ISPConfig is multiserver-capable, you can check all servers that are controlled from your ISPConfig master server.
For download and usage instructions, please visit http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/ispconfig-monitor-app-for-android/.
