It exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform and strives to maintain 100% binary compatibility with its upstream distribution. CentOS stands for "Community ENTerprise Operating System". CentOS is the perfect server for people who need an enterprise class operating system stability without the cost of certification and support and pocket burning baggage that comes with proprietary software. And the beauty is CentOS is free. In this Hands-on Labs session, we’re going to install DTC GPLHost Control Panel on Linux CentOS5 server. Domain Technologie Control (DTC) is a web-based control panel aimed at providing a graphics-oriented layout for managing commercial hosting of web servers, intended for shared web hosting servers, virtual private servers (VPSes), and dedicated servers. Domain Technologie Control is free software released under the GNU LGPL v2.1 license. It is fully skinnable and translated into several languages. DTC is fully open source (LGPL). DTC is also the first web hosting control panel that has reached inclusion in major distributions like Debian (since Lenny in 2009), Ubuntu (since 2008) and FreeBSD Using a web GUI for the administration and accounting all hosting services, DTC can delegate the task of creating subdomains, email, ssh, database, mailing lists, and FTP accounts to users for the domain names they own. Moreover, Domain Technologie Control allows the administrator to create web hosting plans that provide e-mail and FTP accounts, domain purchasing, subdomains, SSH, and MySQL databases to the end users under controllable quota for the web sites that these users own. DTC also maintains the automation of billing, generates backup scripts, and monitors traffic (per user and per service) using a single system, UID or GID. Also integrated into DTC are the support ticket system and customizable HTTP error pages. DTC itself manages its own MySQL database to store its setup configuration, web hosting plans, and users. It has support for many other free software: MySQL, Apache, PHP, qmail, Postfix, Courier, Dovecot, ProFTPd, Webalizer, mod-log-sql, and more. It also connects to dtc-xen to manage and monitor the usage of Virtual Private Servers (VPS). Solution In this Hands-on Labs, you will learn how to install CentOS5 and prepare it for the installation of DTC GPLHost Control Panel. You’ll also learn how to perform post-installation configuration of CentOS5 e.g., upgrade the system with new patches and bug fixes, configure static IP address from dynamic one, change the computer hostname, modify hosts & resolv.conf files, perform ping test among others. Next, 3 © April 2007, Kefa Rabah, Global Open Versity, Vancouver Canada www.globalopenversity.org EBT200 – Web Hosting Solutions Administration Training Global Open Versity, ICT Labs Install Guide DTC GPLHost on LinuxCentOS5 Server v1.0 you will learn how to install DTC on Linux CentOS5 server. Upon completion of this lab session you should have gained a capability and expertise level to install and maintain DTC GPLHost Control Panel, which you can use to manage your hosting solutions. The entire lab training was performed on VMware. But you can also use the open source VirtualBox from Oracle etc. Part 1: Install CentOS 5 Assumptions: 1. It’s assumed that you have a good understanding of Linux operating system and its working environment. It’s also assumed that you know how to install and configure Linux CentOS5, if not go ahead and pop over to scribd.com and check out or excellent hands-on training manual, entitled “Install Configure and Upgrade Linux CentOS5 Server v1.1” to get you started. 2. It’s also assumed that you have a good understanding of MySQL database. 3. In the next section, we’re going to perform other post-installation work like system upgrade and etc. Part 2: Post Installation Configurations. Step 1: Perform System Upgrade For best practices in IT, it’s important to always perform systems upgrade after initial installation is completed. To do this, perform the following procedures: 1. Click Application -> Accessories and the select Terminal 2. From Terminal window, issue the command "yum install update –y". This enables the system to get the latest patches and bug fixes. 3. You’re now down with system update. In the next section we’re going to learn how to change NIC adapter configuration from dynamic IP address to static IP address. Step 2: Modify the Hosts file 1. It’s assumed that you know how to install CentOS5 using static IP address, very important for DNS server. Once you’re done with the installation then verify that your hosts file is set correctly. 2. In this step we want to modify the hosts file to reflect our new "Fully Qualified Hostname" and IP address. 3. To do this, from the Terminal window issue the command: [root@mx ~]# gedit /etc/hosts 4 © April 2007, Kefa Rabah, Global Open Versity, Vancouver Canada www.globalopenversity.org EBT200 – Web Hosting Solutions Administration Training Global Open Versity, ICT Labs Install Guide DTC GPLHost on LinuxCentOS5 Server v1.0 4. While here also note our hostname and IP address: server03.govholabs.com 192.168.1.10 5. Check out /etc/hosts to ensure that you have a correct setup, in our case, it’s as follows: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.10 server03.govholabs.com server03 192.168.1.10 dtc.govholabs.com ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 6. For the final test, issue the ping command, to see if our hostname can return its own IP address: [root@mx ~]# ping server03.govholabs.com [root@mx ~]# ping dtc.govholabs.com 7. We’re done with this section. Part 3: Install DNS Server In this section it’s assumed that you know how to install and configure a DNS Server on a Linux machine, if not, then check out our excellent Hands-On Labs training manual, entitled “Using Webmin and Bind9 to Setup DNS Server on Linux” to get you started. Here we’re going to use Webmin and Bind9 to deploy DNS Server. However, it’s important to note that DTC will configure DNS and all the hosting requirements for you! Part 4: Pre-requisite Setup 1. Ensure that you have set the hostname, correctly, if not you can issue the following command to setup your hostname for "server03.govholabs.com", as follows: # hostname server03.govholabs.com Note: change hostname to suit your needs. 2. Now check to ensure that you have a valid hostname entered, or amavisd-new will complain about it and refuse to setup. Try this command, as this is the one that amavis will use: hostname --fqdn Note: It should return the fully qualified domain name of your mx server that should be something like "mx.example.com" (this is best option). 3. Similarly, check that 5 © April 2007, Kefa Rabah, Global Open Versity, Vancouver Canada www.globalopenversity.org EBT200 – Web Hosting Solutions Administration Training Global Open Versity, ICT Labs Install Guide DTC GPLHost on LinuxCentOS5 Server v1.0 cat /etc/hosts returns something like: 192.168.1.10 server03.govholabs.com server03 Note: You make thins easier by installing DNS server.

VPS merupakan sebuah cara untuk membagi sumber daya sebuah physical server menjadi server virtual. Sebuah VPS memerlukan control panel karena untuk mempermudah pengaturan seperti mengelola email, disk, database, penambahan domain, memonitor bandwidth dan backup data. Terdapat berbagai macam control panel dengan spesifikasi yang berbeda-beda. Pemilihan control panel tersebut sangat penting karena control panel tersebut harus disesuaikan dengan spesifikasi VPS. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan sistem yang dapat membantu dalam pengambilan keputusan dalam pemilihan control panel. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode Analitical Hierarcy Process (AHP) dan Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Metode AHP digunakan untuk mencari bobot variabel kriteria, sedangkan metode SAW digunakan untuk menentukan nilai akhir dan perangkingan. Hasil perangkingan alternatif control panel pada sistem ini menunjukkan hasil yang sama dengan hasil perangkingan dari pakar control panel, sehingga sistem ini dapat digunakan oleh pengguna sebagai dasar pengambilan keputusan dalam menentukan pemilihan alternatif control panel. Kata Kunci — control panel, VPS, AHP, SAW, sistem pendukung keputusan Abstract Hosting can be divided into various types, one of them is Virtual Private Server (VPS).

  • Teaching Guide- Cyberpiprojects System Admin Interface Pi
    Teaching Guide- CyberPiProjects System Admin Interface Pi Teacher Overview Raspbian is a Debian-based computer operating system for the Raspberry Pi computer. There are several versions of Raspbian including: Raspbian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Raspbian was created by Mike Thompson and Peter Green as an independent project, with an initial build completed in June 2012. Since 2015, Raspbian has been officially provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation as its primary operating system for the family of Raspberry Pi single-board computers and is highly optimized for the Raspberry Pi line's low-performance ARM CPUs. The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT devices could be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and is able to transfer data over a network. Increasingly, organisations in a variety of industries are using IoT to operate more efficiently, better understand customers to deliver enhanced customer service, improve decision-making and increase the value of the business. In this project you will go through all the steps to set up the Webmin software package for the Raspbian operating system. Webmin is an excellent capability if you wish to have a web-based interface for system administration.

  • Raspberry Pi Home Page Introduction to the Raspberry Pi 3 Video (20 Min)
    Raspberry Pi home page https://www.raspberrypi.org/ Introduction to the Raspberry Pi 3 video (20 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6OGuhLtKbU This document is about using 15 – 20 Raspberry Pis to implement an Internet Café or Learning Center. An internet café allows people to rent computers to access the internet. A learning center will be slightly different to set up, it will allow classroom learning to be augmented by the computer. The Raspberry Pi is a very small computer, about the size of a deck of cards. It uses an ARM processor like many smart phones, and so is incompatible with most PC software. You can run various versions of Linux on it, the most popular is Raspbian, a Linux based on Debian. The standard implementation includes office and productivity software, math software, and some other educational programs. The Raspberry Pi is a bare computer, you also need a monitor, a keyboard and mouse, and a power supply to turn it into a desktop computer system. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Raspberry Pi with case, mouse, keyboard, and monitor Monitors Raspberry Pis have an HDMI video output. You could use HDMI compatible monitors: HDMI Monitor: SCEPTRE E205W-1600 20" $79.99 from Newegg, $69.99 from Walmart If you have old VGA monitors you need a HDMI to VGA adaptor with a power input, raspberry pi's HDMI port do not provide enough power to run the adaptor, but you can hook up to the USB port for power. (HDMI 50 mA, USB 500 mA, raspberry pi USB 1.2 A total (all usb ports) if you put max_usb_current=1 in /boot/config.txt) We had some strange side effects from pulling too much current from the R-pi usb ports, we could get to some web sites in the browser, but not others.

  • Openvz Forum Live on Any Node and Appropriate Client Software on Other Nodes Could Cause the Services to Be Performed There
    Subject: OpenVZ with webmin Posted by rollinw on Sat, 29 Jul 2006 18:22:30 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message I have written an email message to the creator of webmin and the contributor who provided the OpenVZ module. Perhaps someone in this forum group has OpenVZ insights or ideas that might help make webmin a better fit for OpenVZ. "I have installed webmin on a virtual Suse processor under OpenVZ. The concept is great, and I congratulate you on leading the way in providing a centralized interface for controlling what I call a "server farm". After installing the webmin RPM, I also Installed the OpenVZ module contributed by "NH". The comments that follow are not intended as criticisms but as suggestive of the way your combined product might be improved. When the OpenVZ configuration form came up, I saw that it expected things the path to vzyum, to /usr/sbin/vzctl, etc. Then it dawned on me that this module has to be installed on the OpenVZ hardware node to make it work. This may not seem like a big deal to non-OpenVZ people, but in fact it is. I don't want to get into copyright problems, so let me paraphrase the Hardware Node Availability Considerations section of the OpenVZ User's Guide, Chapter 2: * The hardware node (HN) plays a key role in providing resources for all the virtual environments. If the HN goes down, they all go down. * The HN can benefit from RAID, especially hardware RAID, to enhance total system reliability. * Wherever possible, service applications should run on a Virtual Environment (VE) rather than on the HN.

  • Webmin Using AD to Stored Users and Groups
    Webmin using AD to stored users and groups. Overview Webmin is a wonderful interface to manage Linux servers and Webmin can use an LDAP server to store users and groups so you can share those information among different Linux servers so a single credential could be used to manage several servers with the exact same permissions. Out of the box Webmin does not support MS Active directory and it need some adjustment to make it work and this document is exactly that. I remind all that Webmin’s Users/groups are specific Webmin objects and have nothing to do with native users/groups in AD. You may see AD as a shared storage location for Webmin. This document take for granted that you are already familiar with Webmin, Linux and MS AD. This document has been written while using version 1.720 of Webmin but it has also been tested up to version 1.730 AD Preparation First we need to create an OU that will be restricted and will contain Webmin related information like users, groups and so on. In my example I have an OU called Global under which I created a sub-OU called Webmin. Yourdomain.Local/Global/WebminAccounts Next we need an AD account that will be use by Webmin to access AD, in my example I created Yourdomain\_svc_LDAP_WebminAuth And set with FULL permission on the OU Yourdomain.Local/Global/WebminAccounts. That service account does not need to be created in the previous created OU as it’s not specifically a Webmin object but a real AD account.

  • Build and Manage a Linux Server Using Webmin
    Version 3.86 Are you using the most current PDF version of this how-to? Version numbers are located at the top right of this page The latest and great version is always available at my homepage http://woodel.com Setting up a Linux Server, Start to Finish, using Webmin. By Kevin Elwood This how-to assumes your looking to setup a Linux Server, not a Linux Desktop. For use without a keyboard, mouse, or GUI interface. After setup completes you will be remotely managing it, and will not have a need for the monitor and keyboard once you have finished the initial setup. This how-to also assumes you are connected to the internet, and have at least (2) computers on the same network. It also assumes you will have at least (2) hard-drives in the server, one for the O.S. and one for the data. Only one network card is needed until the optional \ advanced section. For every download link, I offer an alternative source (from my server) so that you may follow this how-to exactly, down to the same versions I used. Newer is better, and you’re encouraged to upgrade after you complete this how-to. But for continuity and flow, I provide a link to the same exact versions used in this how-to. Also due to upgrades some versions may no longer be available, if you run into this just use the links to my server, this will ensure matching print screens, or go to webmin.com and find the newer link.
