Hi,
After setting up the email server, I can check my email in squirrel mail as well as Outlook. But the problem is I have to login as myname@mydomain.com
Is there a way by which I can login as just myname?
I ask this because we will be migrating to this new server shortly and since the old server required just myname for logging in we will now have to go round to all the PCs to make the changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Rgds,

Shimona.

Hi, I had the same problem with MySQL. It happened to be a problem with the port 3306.
In my case it was being used by another application ( a vpn tunnel to another mysql).
The problem was solved after after I cleared the 3306 and let the local mysql use it.

I’ve tried reading on the mysql web site about this, but haven’t found anything that’s of assistance. Thoughts?

how do i select when i use tasksel. somebody help me install lamp please. I am a web developer who just switched to linux ----ubuntu 9.04. I am tired of windows and virus.

Regarding those “Complete Package” LAMPs, I was avoiding them since some explicitly say they were setup for Development servers only.

Security wise do I have an advantage using the Ubuntu LAMP vs the other ones? I was hoping even if the Ubuntu ones are not tied down at least they give me a chance to learn how to close the holes.

I may be wrong on that hoping for clarification from “guru’s” here

Question: Regarding Network Settings. You said

“# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.19.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 172.19.0.0
broadcast 172.19.0.255
gateway 172.19.0.1″

I already have an IIS server so I know the Static IP part, the Netmask and Gateway. What are the other two? Meaning these

network 172.19.0.0
broadcast 172.19.0.255

Are they what we call
Preferred DNS Server
Alternate DNS Server

In our Windoz world?

Thanks Guys

This is a note to all you linux newbies trying to set up a simple LAMP type server with this page as a guide. You might strongly think about one of the complete package on a disk installs. There are several and I dont want to mention names but they all will greatly simplify your setup time and provide a nice web based configuration system.

A ubuntu based LAMP is a great tool for those who prefer to have cutting edge features and the freedom to configure as they see fit but it comes with the cost of requiring a great deal of linux knowledge and time setting it up. Your choice.

Thanks for the great tutorial! Personally I prefer nano to vi but, the rest is great!

A not for newbies like me.

When you use: sudo tasksel to bring up the software install screen, you use the space bar to select the items that you want to install. I started with the keys at the top of the keyboard, so it took me a while to get all the way down there to find it.

Hi,
How to show the system information at startup?

By: Skyler

Skyler — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:08:08 +0000

where can I find

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.19.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0

>>>>>>>network 172.19.0.0<<<<<< This

broadcast 172.19.0.255
gateway 172.19.0.1

i know where to find the rest, but what is this address for? my gateway is 192.168.1.1, so i put my network as 192.168.1.0. so its slightly different. Im afraid this is why i cant connect.

Also if this is not the cause, what do I do to get into my server? i tried its IP address from run.. and the browser, but i get a "problem loading page" error.

@Kianoo

Did you install ubuntu desktop package in your server or not use the following command to install

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

After installing try to run the startx command if you still having problems it is someting related to your graphic card drivers

Thank you. Tutorial and follow up comments all saved me a ton of time. Made same mistake in install with LAMP and fixed with Iqbal Sajid’s comments. Perfect. Up and running in less than half an hour.

Thanks guys. Thank you very much.
I’m able to install LAMP using the foll 2 commands.
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo tasksel

after its completion when i point to 127.0.0.1 I see a messege:

It Works!

also when i browse my ip 192.168.1.33 messege is same; I got my IP by command ifconfig my eth0 has this ip
Now another question from you genius ppl who always here to help ppl like me.

My question is like xtrigit, as I also want to install cpanel on my machine so that i can work on my pc and then do it on the internet servers.

I installed LAMP ‘coz i wanted to install and config WordPress on my system as internet is too slow from my home. . so i’ll make a site for my customer and upload that on the internet.

I don’t know how to access apachi, mysql or any other things.

Thanks again for the great help.

Awesome! “It works” lol That’s the message I get when I put my server’s ip in the address bar.

It took me 9 long hours to get it done. A mixture of 3 tutorials lol. I will be donating to this site, it helped me a lot. Had i not confused the ip addresses, I would’ve been done in half the time.

One last question, Admin; How do I check to make sure I installed everyhthing correctly? and How do I go about installing a Cpanel and is it safe to access the server via it’s ip ? I have plenty of domains I just dont know how to add them or idont know. If i redirect the domain name’s to my isp’s nameservers , will it work? or do I need to install something else?

Thanks again!
