Guest mxarbour Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Hi, After seven years pushing Linux at my company, I finally get a chance to install my first server. I need guidance choosing packages that I will require to make it run like a charm. I already know a little about Linux and I can read the documentation relating to the packages I need to install. The only thing I need would be knowledge of the names of those packages. I intend on using Mandrake 8.2 and the need is for: - One server serving 3 websites (static pages with apache: that, I can manage without problems) - POP account for those 3 domains (I have no idea for this) - Online real time statistics (here neither) - Proxy server (is it really required and how to config it) - Firewall for protection (how to setup for incoming/outgoing email from the lan, http from the lan and the net) Out of those 3 domains, one is a fully qualified domain (www.ci2.ca) and the two others are dyndns.org dynamic domains. They will reside in a fixed IP address server. 1 particularity is that clients for the 1st domain will be on the LAN, does this require any special configs on the server or the client side? I also need info on allowing telnet login from the LAN, but not the net. I would also appreciate if any kind of procedure or linuxvoodoo type websites could be given to me since I will not get a second chance to make this server work. Any help would be appreciated.

Counterspy Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 If you look on this page: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdoc.php3 , you can get a server manual which will go a long way to answering these questions. There are little boxes for selection of the particular manual you are looking for. You might also get the Reference Manual while you're there.

Guest mxarbour Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Thanks for the info. Went there and downloaded the server manual. The broplem I run into is that, in that manual, I am told, for example, to access the webmin control panel for apache... The thing is that they don't tell how to access that. That doc is good, but just a little to dry for my actual level of Linux Knowledge. Thanks. Marc Arbour ---------------------- They said to install Windows 95 or better... So I installed Linux!

MoonChild Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 Webmin is easy... https://localhost:10000/ Or remotely... https://yourIPaddress:10000/ Or if you like numbers a lot: https://127.0.0.1:10000/ A wonderful little program, believe me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 Just install it first. For mandrake 9, urpmi webmin should do it. Otherwise, use rpmdrake (open console type rpmdrake) and locate webmin. If you can't find it for some reason, then look on the internet. You will like webmin. It's a browser interface for managing your linux system. It's huge in what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 It will be in the 9.0 mirrors. Choose RPMS instead of ISO's. Counterspy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
