Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: ftp, ubuntu •
Comments: 0 This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

Comments: 4 How To Set Up An SSL Vhost Under Apache2 On Ubuntu 9.10/Debian Lenny This article explains how you can set up an SSL vhost under Apache2 on Ubuntu 9.10 and Debian Lenny so that you can access the vhost over HTTPS (port 443). SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer and is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications over networks by encrypting segments of network connections at the transport layer end-to-end. We use the mod_ssl Apache module here to provide strong cryptography for Apache2 via SSL by the help of the Open Source SSL toolkit OpenSSL.

Running Vhosts Under Separate UIDs/GIDs With Apache2 mpm-itk On Ubuntu 9.10

Comments: 1 Running Vhosts Under Separate UIDs/GIDs With Apache2 mpm-itk On Ubuntu 9.10 This article explains how you can install and configure apache2-mpm-itk on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. apache2-mpm-itk is an MPM (Multi-Processing Module) for the Apache 2 web server. mpm-itk allows you to run each of your vhost under a separate UID and GID - in short, the scripts and configuration files for one vhost no longer have to be readable for all the other vhosts. mpm-itk works with mod_php because mpm-itk is based on the traditional prefork MPM, which means it's non-threaded. This means you don't need to use suExec or suPHP anymore to run a website's PHP scripts as a separate user.

Install And Configure OpenLDAP On Ubuntu Karmic Koala
Author: Miguel •
Tags: ubuntu •
Comments: 29 Install And Configure OpenLDAP On Ubuntu Karmic Koala The configuration of OpenLDAP got a bit (more) complicated. cn=config is still used, but when installing the packages from the repositories only a skeleton configuration of openldap is installed. You're not asked anymore to provide a password when the package is installed and issuing the "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" only resets openldap to the skeleton configuration. You will have to set up the openldap database, root dn and acl's yourself using the root account (or sudo) in order to configure openldap. Here is how I configured openldap in Karmic Koala, but I do not issue any guarantee that this setup will suit your needs or works for you as it worked for me.
