Hi folks, Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64, Host OS VMWare - virtual machine CentOS 5 - Guest OS I have the captioned Ubuntu server installed following the document; Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) LAMP Server Setup http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-lamp-server.html and some other relevant docments to setup VMWare server and CenOS 5 Now they are running. CentOS 5 can be started on vmware-server-console. I need to fine-tune the Ubuntu server. I found follwing documents; The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) http://howtoforge.org/taxonomy_menu/1/1/50?from=30 Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft) http://howtoforge.org/taxonomy_menu/1/1/50?from=40 Rails production server setup and deployment on Ubuntu/Debian http://ariejan.net/2007/06/20/rails-production-server-setup-and-deployment-on-ubuntudebian/ Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft) http://howtoforge.org/taxonomy_menu/1/1/50?from=40 etc. Please advise which of them is most suitable for my application? Or is there any more suitable document? TIA B.R. satimis
Mainly mail server, if possible adding Web server. Since my goal is testing building a Virtual Machine on this box, not for production. Ubuntu is the Host OS. After its setup completed I'll test/add Guest OS on this PC. CentOS 5, as Guest OS, is already running on this box. I'll setup a LAMP server on it later. B.R. satimi
Thanks for your URL. I was following; http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-lamp-server.html to install "Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64" $ sudo fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/sda2 32 19457 156039345 5 Extended /dev/sda5 32 19457 156039313+ 8e Linux LVM IIRC I only used 80G out of 160G capacity on the HD to proceed. My intention was to leave the remaining 80G for VMWare and other Guest OSs to be installed later. However on intalling VMWare server and the Guest OS, CentOS 5, it seemed to me that they were also installed on the same 80G partitions where the Host OS resides. Is there any way to check the unused 80G partion and use it? TIA I'll contiune checking Ubuntu 7.04, the Host OS, against your recommended doc. I'll complete the parts missed, if any, on my previous installation steps. B.R. satimis
# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ Code: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' I suspect whether I can mount it this way.

Yes, it must look like this: Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro[B][COLOR="Red"],usrquota,grpquota[/COLOR][/B] 0 1 # /dev/sda1 UUID=16932771-ab2e-41cf-aea9-f744b7a252eb /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/ubuntu-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
