PHP:
Disclaimer: This is a scratch pad, use AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Im just adding info here that I want to cover on the
wiki (comming soon).
This is a work in progress, and some steps might prove
to be problematic in the future. AGAIN USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. (Example of problem: DA worked fine for me on
FreeBSD 5.4 Release, but not with 5.4 p6). You have
been warned... =P
Since Im a bit rusty on BSD I thought for now it would be a good idea to share my tips scratch pad, untill i set that wiki up.
If you want to ensure that you dont build packages with X libs etc...
WITHOUT_X11=1 to /etc/make.conf
Also you might want to install
/usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
Instead of cvsup
----------------------------------
Something worth lookin into: though I havent tried it yet
https://bsdupdates.com/index.php
Ill test this on a local machine and comment on it
------------------------------------
You might want to install spinner, it keeps your session from timing out. Very annoying if you compile somethin and disconnect fogetting to screen the process
Oh yeah dont forget to install screen as well *grins*
----------------------------------------------
Once your all setup if your confused bout how to set you your primary domain and your nameservers check out:
http://www.directadmin.com/newinstall.html
It explains it step by step.
------------------------------------------------
Oh ... never trust a host to set up your server... either dictate the setup in detail, or do it yourself if you can.
(kvm over IP works wonders). Heed my warning.. else you just might end up with 250mb of /var (which is where D.A. keeps your users emails... Not a good idea
------------------------------------------------
PF Firewall (Its been recommended to run this instead of ipfw)
Great guide to PF firewall.
Setting up a Firewall NAT using PF
A list of all branches
Update: FTP is a retarded protocol. Im switching to SFTP. EOF
My clients can download Filezilla. Its free, amazing, and it supports SFTP.
--------------------------------------------------------
You might as well use FreeBSD Security Branch ( RELENG_5_4 ) (Warning: Not a good choice atm, as I have encountered problems. Look for my other posts for more info.)
Dont forget to install portaudit!
it provides a system to check if installed ports are listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities.
