Comments: 21 The Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND, Dovecot & Nginx [ISPConfig 3] This tutorial shows how to prepare a Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) server for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: nginx or Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, BIND nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more. The idea is to use the fast and memory efficient nginx web server and Dovecot which is also said to be more memory efficient. You will need to use the Dotdeb repository for nginx.

Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target)
Author: Falko Timme •

Comments: 0 Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running Debian Squeeze. AoE stands for "ATA over Ethernet" and is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows AoE initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) AoE target using normal ethernet cabling. "Remote" in this case means "inside the same LAN" because AoE is not routable outside a LAN (this is a major difference compared to iSCSI). To the AoE initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.

Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Squeeze
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, monitoring •
Comments: 0 Server Monitoring With munin And monit On Debian Squeeze In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Debian Squeeze server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) without much configuration, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected. The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that lets you recognize current or upcoming problems, and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

How To Save Traffic With nginx's HttpGzipModule (Debian Squeeze)

Tags: debian, nginx, web server •
Comments: 0 How To Save Traffic With nginx's HttpGzipModule (Debian Squeeze) In this tutorial I will describe how to configure HttpGzipModule on an nginx web server (on Debian Squeeze). HttpGzipModule allows nginx to compress files and deliver them to clients (e.g. browsers) that can handle compressed content which most modern browsers do. With HttpGzipModule, you can compress HTML, CSS, Javascript, text or XML files to approx. 20 - 30% of their original sizes, thus saving you server traffic and making your modem users happier.

PHP-FPM/Nginx Security In Shared Hosting Environments (Debian/Ubuntu)

Tags: debian, nginx, php, ubuntu, web server •
Comments: 7 PHP-FPM/Nginx Security In Shared Hosting Environments (Debian/Ubuntu) If you want to use nginx and PHP-FPM for shared hosting environments, you should make up your mind about security. In Apache/PHP environments, you can use suExec and/or suPHP to make PHP execute under individual user accounts instead of a system user like www-data. There's no such thing for PHP-FPM, but fortunately PHP-FPM allows us to set up a "pool" for each web site that makes PHP scripts execute as the user/group defined in that pool. This gives you all the benefits of suPHP, and in addition to that you don't have any FTP or SCP transfer problems because PHP scripts don't need to be owned by a specific user/group to be executed as the user/group defined in the pool.

Tags: debian, nginx, ubuntu, web server •
Comments: 0 Using GeoIP With Nginx On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04 This tutorial explains how to use the GeoIP module with nginx on Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04 to find out where your visitors come from. The GeoIP module sets multiple variables like $geoip_country_name, $geoip_country_code, $geoip_city, etc. that you can use in your PHP scripts or directly in your nginx configuration, for example to serve content in different languages based on the user's country.

Comments: 2 Running Mailman On Nginx (LEMP) On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 The Mailman package from the Debian/Ubuntu repositories comes with a configuration for Apache, but not for nginx. This tutorial shows how you can use the Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 Mailman package in an nginx vhost. Nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

Comments: 3 Running ownCloud3 On Nginx (LEMP) On Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 11.10 This tutorial shows how you can install and run ownCloud3 on a Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu 11.10 system that has nginx installed instead of Apache (LEMP = Linux + nginx (pronounced "engine x") + MySQL + PHP). ownCloud enables universal access to files through the widely implemented WebDAV standard, providing a platform to easily view and sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks across devices while supporting sharing, viewing and editing via the web interface. It offers the ease-of-use of Dropbox and box.net without vendor lock in. ownCloud users can run its file sync and share services on their own hardware. nginx is a HTTP server that uses much less resources than Apache and delivers pages a lot of faster, especially static files.

Icinga Configuration For Nginx On Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu 11.10
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, monitoring, nginx, ubuntu, web server •
Comments: 0 Icinga Configuration For Nginx On Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu 11.10 Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting. It is a fork of Nagios. This tutorial explains how to serve the Icinga Web interface from an nginx server on Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu 11.10 (the tutorial might work for Debian Squeeze as well but I didn't test; Squeeze's Icinga version is a lot older than the versions for Wheezy and Ubuntu 11.10, so there might be small differences).
