Mounting an FTP/SMB site as a Linux Share

Tue, 08/05/2008 - 17:48 — siteadmin


sudo apt-get install curlftpfs
mkdir mntdir #make mountpoint
FTPPW=12345678
FTPUSER=username%40site.org # if contains @ then use %40
sudo curlftpfs -o allow_other,uid=1000 ftp://$FTPUSER:$FTPPW@ftp.site.org mntdir

You will have to edit /etc/fuse.conf to allow_other and also make sure the current user is a member of the fuse group:

adduser andrewf fuse

Add to /init/fstab using:

Creating a new Xen VM in CentOS 5.1

Fri, 01/04/2008 - 15:07 — siteadmin

I would recommend not using LVM within a VM because it makes it harder to back up the files within the VM


/usr/sbin/lvcreate -L 5G -n vm_testvm VolGroup00 #first create a logical volume for the machine
/usr/sbin/lvcreate -L 512M -n vm_testvm_swp VolGroup00 #create the LV swap file
/sbin/mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/vm_testvm_swp

Here is how to install Drupal on a Centos5 Linux installation

  2. log in as root
  3. Update to latest version with: yum -y update yum ; yum -y update
  4. Install modules with: yum -y install php php-devel php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc curl curl-devel perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick libxml2 libxml2-devel system-config-securitylevel-tui
    Note that this is called system-confi-firewall in CentOS 6
  5. Enable .htaccess: cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.original
    vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf     and in two places change AllowOverride None to All (may not be needed in CentOS 6
  6. Uncomment NameVirtualHost *:80
  7. Start apache with: service httpd start
  8. Run: system-config-securitylevel-tui and enable firewall for ssh and http, plus port 10000 for webmin
  9. Open a browser window pointed to the server to check if apache is running
  10. Create default page: echo "<html><head><title>Name of Server</title></head><body><h1>Name of Server</h1></body></html>" > /var/www/html/index.html
  11. Make sure server is running by visiting: http://servername/
  12. Create test script: echo "<html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><?php phpinfo(); ?></body></html>" > /var/www/html/testphp.php

  15. Check it is working by visiting: http://servername:10000
  16. Use webmin to create a virtual server at /var/www/html with no server name. (This will be the default and must come first)
  17. Install MySQL with: yum -y install php-mysql mod_auth_mysql mysql-server php-gd php-mbstring
  18. Start MySQL: /etc/init.d/mysqld start
  19. Now setup MySQL: mysqladmin -u root password rootsqlpassword
