Configure BIND9 (chrooted DNS Server)

BIND will run in a chroot jail under /var/named/chroot/var/named/ to allow BIND management via ISPConfig.

chmod 755 /var/named/

chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/

chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/

chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/

chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/

chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/

cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/

ln -s ../../ chroot

cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/var/named/named.local /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local

cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/var/named/named.root /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.root

touch /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

Enter chkconfig –levels 235 named on

Configure MySQL

Enter chkconfig –levels 235 mysqld on

Note: Consider reviewing the MySQL Tuning guide and Low memory MySQL / Apache configurations for additional MySQL configuration suggestions.

Configure Apache

Modify the DirectoryIndex directive in your httpd.conf file:

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Locate the DirectoryIndex for your web root

Modify the line to read as follows:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl

Exit vi

chkconfig –levels 235 httpd on

to start Apache whenever your server boots

Test Your Configuration

BIND

/etc/init.d/named restart

MySQL

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

netstat -tap | grep mysql

- if a line with the word LISTEN displays, MySQL was configured successfully and is now running

mysqladmin -u root password <YOUR_MYSQL_PASSWORD>

(where <YOUR_MYSQL_PASSWORD> is the unique password for your MySQL root account)

Add repository to yum:

Howto Repo: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

—————

FROM RPMforge: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

1. CentOS 5

You should make sure that you have Priorities installed.

1.1. Priorities

yum install yum-priorities

i386 http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

x86_64 http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

(You can find a complete list of rpmforge-release package packages at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/ but it is recommended that you use one of the two listed above).

x64:

rpm -ivh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Test with this command:

yum check-update

yum update

yum -y install phpmyadmin php-mcrypt php-mbstring

vi /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Fine the line :

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ”; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE

AUTH! */

add a secret in the bracket. save the file.

Now you need to configure the access of phpmyadmin:

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

<Directory “/usr/share/phpmyadmin”>
Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
Allow from all
</Directory>

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

Try it: http://ipoftheserver/phpmyadmin

user: root

passwd: your password

Synchronize The System Clock

If you want to have the system clock synchronized with an NTP server do the following:

yum install ntp

chkconfig –levels 235 ntpd on

ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org

/etc/init.d/ntpd start

Install Webmin

cd /tmp

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm

access webmin:

https://ipoftheserver:10000
