Hi folks, Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64 I have the said server installed and configured. The server is now running. $ ps -ef | egrep '/mysql|postfix|portmap|apache2' Code: daemon 3513 1 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/portmap -i 127.0.0.1 root 4022 1 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe mysql 4086 4022 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-locking --port=3306 --socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock root 4254 1 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -a pam root 4255 4254 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -a pam root 4256 4254 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -a pam root 4257 4254 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -a pam root 4258 4254 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -a pam root 4430 1 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL www-data 4468 4430 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL www-data 4469 4430 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL www-data 4470 4430 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL www-data 4471 4430 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL www-data 4472 4430 0 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL satimis 4906 4836 0 10:35 pts/2 00:00:00 grep -E /mysql|postfix|portmap|apache2 $ sudo iptables --list Code: Password: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination TCPMSS tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp flags:SYN,RST/SYN tcpmss match 1400:1536 TCPMSS clamp to PMTU Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Please advise how to test this server? Where can I find appropriate documents on testing a LAMP server? 1) Self test 2) Testing with a workstation I don't have router so I'll install an additional network card on the server and connect it with a Cat5 cable to the workstation (one network card on workstation). OR is there any other suggestions? TIA 3) Testing on Internet. I don't have Domain nor Static IP. I'll register a free Domain later for this test and use Dynamic IP. Now my problem is I have only on broadband. Connecting the workstation to Internet via a modem? I have modem available. Advice will be appreciated. Tks. B.R. satimis
Hi falko, stage-1: self test to test whether the web server, email server, mysql, FTP, etc. have been properly installed and configured stage-2: LAN test a Linux workstation will be connected to the server via an additinal NIC card to check whether the servers can be visited, operated remotely by a workstation, etc. stage-3: Field test connected to Internet to check whether the severs work properly. Domain will be registered running dynamic IP. I'l make use of a workstation connected to Internet via a modem (because I have only one broadband connection here. I fail to see broadband shraring will work on this test), To test the servers via Internet, etc.. On testing the Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server this few days I encountered many problems. I'm considering wiping out the entire HD and restart from the beginning. But on the second round I'm considering to run CentOS Linux, installing Apache, postfix, iptables, mysql, etc. one by one. After making sure the package installed configured properly and tested properly before installing the second one. Dislike now installing all of them first without fully configured and tested.

Can we cut this into slices, like you ask a specific question, and I try to answer? Because I don't feel like writing a novel now...
Hi falko, Ok, here coming; I have following packages/sever installed on the PC, excluding OS:- 1) firewall - iptables 2) OpenSSH Server 3) FTP Server 4) Network File System (NFS) 5) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 6) Domain Name Service (DNS) 7) Bind9 8) CUPS - Print Server 9) HTTPD - Apache Web Server 10) Squid - Proxy Server 11) Version Control System - Subversion 12) Databases - MySQL 13) Email Services/Server - Postfix SMTP Authentication 14) PHP Stage-1: Self-test Code: Steps to be performed making self-test on each of them checking whether they are properly installed and configured. Stage-2: LAN test Code: A Linux workstation will be connected to the server via an additinal NIC card. Steps to be performed testing each of them remotely Stage-3: Field test connected to Internet Code: Domain will be registered running dynamic IP. Steps to be performed checking whether the severs work properly. Hack-test on firewall will be performed separately with hacking software from hackerdom.

You're still asking a lot in one post, and I still have to answer so many other posts... I suggest you try to connect ot each of your services, and when you encounter problems or find errors in the logs, we try to solve that specific problem.
