Installing A Multiserver Setup With Dedicated Web, Email, DNS And MySQL Database Servers On Debian 5.0 With ISPConfig 3

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:11:18 +0200

Installing A Multiserver Setup With Dedicated Web, Email, DNS And MySQL Database Servers On Debian 5.0 With ISPConfig 3

This tutorial describes the installation of an ISPConfig 3 multiserver setup with dedicated web, email, database and two DNS servers all managed trough a single ISPConfig 3 control panel. The setup described below uses five servers and can be extended easily to to a higher number of servers by just adding more servers. E.g. if you want to have two mailservers, do the setup steps from chapter 2 on both of these servers. If you want to set up more web servers, then install ISPConfig on all other web servers in expert mode except of the first one.

Installing A Web, Email And MySQL Database Cluster (Mirror) On Debian 5.0 With ISPConfig 3

This tutorial describes the installation of a clustered Web, Email, Database and DNS server to be used for redundancy, high availability and load balancing on Debian 5 with the ISPConfig 3 control panel. GlusterFS will be used to mirror the data between the servers and ISPConfig for mirroring the configuration files. I will use a setup of two servers here for demonstration purposes but the setup can scale to a higher number of servers with only minor modifications in the GlusterFS configuration files.

To do this, you need one server with ISPConfig 3 installed and a Fast hosts account.

Protect phpMyAdmin On An ISPConfig 3 Server (Debian)

Fri, 21 May 2010 15:30:14 +0200

Protect phpMyAdmin On An ISPConfig 3 Server (Debian)

With this small howto I explain how to protect your phpmyadmin installation on your Debian server with ISPConfig3 against hack attempts as much as possible. I assume that you already have an ISPConfig3 server running on Debian, which has been set up according to this howto and that phpmyadmin has been installed from the Debian repository into the directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin. With this default setup you can access phpMyAdmin via: http://www.anywebsiteonyourserver.tld/phpmyadmin, which we're going to change for security reasons.

The Perfect Subversion Server - Debian Lenny [ISPConfig3]

Fri, 14 May 2010 15:20:51 +0200

The Perfect Subversion Server - Debian Lenny [ISPConfig3]

Subversion is a free/open-source version control system. That is, Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data, or examine the history of how your data changed. In this regard, many people think of a version control system as a sort of "time machine". This guide will help you setup the subversion system, and integrate it with your existing ISPConfig3 installation allowing you control over disk usage, quota and other factors in a very familiar way. Perhaps one day, somebody can use this process to create a plug in for ISPConfig3 that does all of this automatically.
