Intranet Web Server

Greetings all,

I'm attempting to set up a simple webserver for intranet use only. I would love to have ISPConfig on it (to play around with it more than anything else, really), but am a little gunshy after my first attempt at installation and it completely locked everything up on me.

I attempted to follow Falko's "Perfect Fedora 7 Server" instructions, however I am loading up Fedora 7 using the "LiveCD" option, which is the only option I currently have.

My biggest question is that I have no hostname or a need for a hostname, since I can just run this server via a static IP address, so how would that affect the /etc/hosts file, if at all?

I'm also having issues accessing phpMyAdmin, but I'm 99% certain that stems from the whole host/localhost quandry I'm in.

Any input/idea would be appreciated, and thank you so much for this site and forums... such a wealth of information I've stumbled across.

 

You could try something like this in '/etc/hosts'

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx localhost.localdomain MyServer
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Note: replace 'xxx' with your internal IP

After you have edited '/etc/hosts' and saved it as above run 'hostname' then run 'hostname -f'.
On both accounts you should see 'localhost.localdomain' as you host name.

Now run 'shutdown -r now'

You may have to edit your firewall to allow certain activities too??


Hope this helps somewhat.

Regards

 

Hi giganet,

Thanks for the response... for giggles, this is what I tried just before I got your message and everything seems to be working splendidly:

Code:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
192.168.1.122	192.168.1.122	intraweb
::1	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6

Since the F7 box is safely tucked behind all the LAN security, I completely disabled the firewall on it... and actually decided I'm not going to use ISPConfig on it, but may keep it there to play around with it.

Although.. I still can't access my phpMyAdmin.. not that it's a major issue at this point.

 

Do you receive any errors when trying to access 'PHPMyAdmin'?

 

Code:

Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at 192.168.1.122 Port 80

Code:

Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at 192.168.1.122 Port 81

 

Are you able to log onto mysql using:

Code:

mysql -u root -p

Do you also have mysql-client installed on your server?


Regards

 

Yes and yes.

I'm already running a php/mysql program on the server (dotproject).. works perfectly.

 

Which version of PHP are you running?

Have you seen this note?

Code:

I looked at the latest dotProject, version 2.0.1, which was released in April. DotProject runs on a typical LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server setup, but version 2.0.1 doesn't work properly with PHP 5 (there are some workarounds, but it's not worth the trouble), so you'll need to stick with PHP 4 (the most recent version 4.3.11 is a good choice).

I found this at: http://www.linux.com/feature/46046

Honestly, I'm not sure which version of PHP I'm running.. nowhere near the box right now so I won't be able to check until tomorrow.

I didn't see that note on dotproject, but it's pretty irrelevant, since it's working fine.. it's just the fact I can't get into phpMyAdmin that bugs me, even though MySql, etc., are set up properly... it's almost like my browser is literally looking for the phpmyadmin folder in the /www/http/ folder....

 

To determine PHP version run 'php -v'

I was merely grabbing straws from when I was going through the same thing with my FC5 server.
