The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 4

Im Very new to Linux so please bear with me.

Im on page 3, "Configure Additional IP Addresses" first, of all it wont let me add/edit/save files in the /network-scripts/ folder because I need root access. I tried logging in, but it still gives me problems. Second, I have to change back to dhcp so I can connect to the internet. When I try using a Static IP I cant connect. So those are the two problems I'm currently fighting, I hope that will be it.

Thanks alot, another noob has entered the Linux World.

 

What are the IP address, netmask and gateway you are trying to use?
Can you post the output of ifconfig here (when your server is using DHCP)?

 

ifconfig

Also for the ISPConfig, I entered a domain of "amdserver", and then it stopped installation. Then I tried reinstalling it, and supposedly it went correctly, but I don’t know where to log into ISPConfig. If I go to my server local IP, I get the fedora core test page. When reinstalling it, I dont get ask for:

Thanks for your help.

 

And what IP address, netmask and gateway did you try to use in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0?

 

When I look for /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php, i cant find lib in my ispconfig folder. I also cant find the uninstall file....

IP: 192.168.1.102
netmask:255.255.240.0 (This is my Subnet Mask on my router...)
gateway: 24.189.224.1

 

It seems as if your ISPConfig installation is broken. Run

Code:

rm -fr /root/ispconfig
rm -fr /home/admispconfig

and install it again.

Use 255.255.255.0 as netmask. But the main error you made is the gateway address. I guess it's your router's public IP address, but you need to use its internal IP address, it must be in the same subnet (192.168.1.x). That's why you couldn't connect to the internet!

 

4th time trying to install.... What made the installation stop? i can access that url fine.

 

thank you very much, it works. I had to leave the host field blank. Thanks Alot.

 

What should I set my hostname to?

Since my domain is my IP, should I get set it to my IP address?

I installed phpmyadmin, But I get this error when I log in:

Also, What must else I do in order for my server to be publicly accessible?


Thanks Very Much For Your Help.

 

No, not the IP address!
If you own a domain, e.g. mydomain.com, then create a subdomain, e.g. server1.mydomain.com, in DNS and use this subdomain as hostname.

 

I’m going to use a domain from: https://www.dyndns.com/

Its amdserver.kicks-ass.net

I figured this out before your post, lol. When I log into phpmyadmin I get this error:

Behind a router, I’m forwarding ports to the servers Local IP. Forwarding ports: 80,21,22,25,53,110,81,443,10000. I’m not sure if that’s correct.

Thanks Again for all your help.

 

Nothing to worry about.

Looks ok. If you want to use IMAP, then you can add port 143. Maybe also ports 993 (IMAPs) and 995 (POP3s).

 

Im confused on what I have to do with the hostname. Sorry...Im learning

So why cant my server be access from the outside? I still have eth0: set to dhcp but the server always get the same local ip so it doesnt matter.

EDIT: BTW, what is IMAP?

 

I just found out im not allowed to run a server, with my current ISP. I have to update to business to do so.

 

Tree problems!

I have tree problems

First one:
...... postfix imap

E:Couldn't find package imap
But I am logged as root

Second one:
quotacheck: can't find filesystem to check or file system not mounted with quota option.

Third one:
when do
apt-get update

GET
Failed to fetch http://ayo.......
.....................
.....................
and on the end
E:Some index files faild to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I do edit file /etc/apt/sources.list and do tree lines of changes

--------------------------
Can I install this server with gnome desktop?

How can I download ISPConfig in command line from internet, and how to extract?
---------------------------
Tanks,

I am messing new in Linux

 

I guess you're using Fedora Core 4.

Have a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4_p3. You have to put

Code:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/[B]1[/B]/i386 core updates freshrpms

into /etc/apt/sources.list. The 1 is not an error! This is the repository that has the imap package. After you've changed /etc/apt/sources.list run

Code:

apt-get update

and then

Code:

apt-get install imap

.

Did you edit /etc/fstab, as described on the same page http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4_p3?

Can you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list here?

Yes, though it's unusual on a server and might be a security risk. But I guess you're using the system in your home network so it's ok.

Visit http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ispconfig/ISPConfig-2.0.9.tar.gz?download
At the top it says

Copy that URL, go to your server's shell and run

Code:

wget http://<blabla>/ISPConfig-2.0.9.tar.gz

You can extract it like this:

Code:

tar xvfz ISPConfig-2.0.9.tar.gz

Please have a look at the installation instruction: http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm

 

Thanks

Thanks!

Question again when I do the

postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymus'

A got

You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
????
Is that OK

 

That's ok. It just means the root has got an email (probably some system message).
