Installing the Jaws CMS on Ubuntu 7.10
Author: shakey_1 • Tags: ubuntu • Comments: 2Installing the Jaws CMS on Ubuntu 7.10 Jaws is a content management system that utilizes a PHP framework with a MySQL back end. I have been looking for a good CMS for a little while now, but what attracted me to Jaws was its simplicity and appearance. I decided that since I was going to test Jaws out, I may as well document it, so that it might help others who are thinking about using it.

Creating Snapshot-Backups with FlyBack On Ubuntu 7.10
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: backup, desktop, ubuntu • Comments: 1Creating Snapshot-Backups with FlyBack On Ubuntu 7.10 FlyBack is a tool similar to Apple's TimeMachine. It is intended to create snapshot-backups of selected directories or even your full hard drive. From the FlyBack project page: "FlyBack is a snapshot-based backup tool based on rsync. It creates successive backup directories mirroring the files you wish to backup, but hard-links unchanged files to the previous backup. This prevents wasting disk space while providing you with full access to all your files without any sort of recovery program. If your machine crashes, just move your external drive to your new machine and copy the latest backup using whatever file browser you normally use." This article shows how to install and use FlyBack on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS)

Tags: antivirus, postfix, ubuntu •
Comments: 1 Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS) This document describes how to install a mail server based on Postfix that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier- IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota (quota is not built into Postfix by default, I'll show how to patch your Postfix appropriately). Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database (most documents I found were dealing with plain text passwords which is a security risk).
