Hi, I followed "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache2, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)" On my dedicated server panel I have option to chose how much space for / partition /home partition and /swap So I modified it like this: Code: root@linux:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 241G 4.0G 225G 2% / udev 16G 4.0K 16G 1% /dev tmpfs 3.2G 944K 3.2G 1% /run none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup none 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock none 16G 0 16G 0% /run/shm none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user /dev/md3 1.6T 71M 1.5T 1% /home root@linux:~# But ISPconfig installs websites on / instead of /home where there's plenty of space. How do I tell now ISPconfig to use /home for everything? TIA
The sites are in /var/www and not /home but your server uses a wrong (Desktop) partitioning scheme with a large /home instead of a large /var partition. Pointing the sites to /home makes no sense as /var/www is compile dinto the apache package of the Linux distribution, so it wont work even if you would change the path in ISPConfig. What ypu can do is this if you dont want to reinstal the server: https://www.howtoforge.com/use_moun...ctory_of_a_ispconfig_server_to_a_new_location
Thanks for the reply! I'm moving to a new server and this is how default template looks like: I would like to do it right first time. Would you suggest to re-install OS and have 20GB for /home and the rest for / ? Ubuntu official partitioning scheme "Basic Partitioning Scheme for a 2TB Desktop HDD" shows similar as my server default temple?
Replace /home with /var in your partition scheme. You dont need a separate /home partition as it eill be empty and not used. Like you see on the ubuntu page, they show a desktop scheme and not a server scheme, but sou install a server here and not a desktop.
Finally found some free time to finish this new server configuration. New server doesn't have anything on it so I don't mind reinstalling it. What I failed to mention in my original post is that this is Xubuntu Desktop 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" (w/ XFCE + x2go) which explains desktop partitioning scheme. Having said can I get away with not having /home partition or do I rename it from /home to /var when doing install? What would be best to specify for size? How would you partition it? If I delete /home partition during fresh install then desktop user will have access to entire HD free space?
sure. you can do that in the ubuntu installer during install. It contains a editor to set / change the partition scheme. Rename the largest partition from /home to /var during install.
Ok, If you would have 2TB RAID 1 HD how much you would give to /var ? and the rest would be for / ? After that it would look like this: / size ? /var size ? /swap size?
This is what I did: and followed this tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p5 now I'm stuck on this section: Edit /etc/fstab. Mine looks like this (I added ,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 to the partition with the mount point /): because it said mount point / and I have /var partition Code: root@linux:~# df --human Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 296G 3.4G 277G 2% / udev 16G 4.0K 16G 1% /dev tmpfs 3.2G 936K 3.2G 1% /run none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup none 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock none 16G 0 16G 0% /run/shm none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user /dev/md3 1.5T 784M 1.5T 1% /var root@linux:~# Here's my default fstab Code: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/md2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,relatime 0 1 /dev/md3 /var ext4 defaults,relatime 1 2 /dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb4 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs rw 0 0 Do I add it to /dev/md3 like this? Code: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/md2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,relatime 0 1 /dev/md3 /var ext4 defaults,relatime,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 1 2 /dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sdb4 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs rw 0 0 Or to make it simple I get rid of other partition and have just this? Thanks!
Thanks for the reply! I ended up removing /home partition completely and just leaving / and /swap In the future I should not have issues with running out of space.
