Mod rewrite / clean urls for Drupal on Ubuntu Apache Server
Just spent the last few days trying to get clean urls to work on my Ubuntu apache2 server, and finally found a thread on a Drupal forum. It turned out that you have to activate mod rewrite in Apache before any of the settings in the .htaccess file wi...
Finally got Apache 2.2.3 set up with virtual hosts
What a night. I have spent most of the last few days faffing around trying to set up virtual hosts on my Ubuntu Apache server. I had almost given up. I tried using Webmin, but failed. I read many tutorials, which led me to installing Virtualmin at on...
Installation of Domain Name Service (DNS) - Bind
I seem to be speeding ahead here. I am actually starting to read through the Ubuntu documentation, and it is very informative, and presented in a logical fashion. Just found the page on installing domain name services. Once again, this is so far a br...
Molly Guard Installed
OK. just read up on what Molly-Guard is, and it is just a way to prevent the server being accidentely shut down remotely. There is a nice little story behind its definition:What is Molly Guard?A shield to prevent tripping of some Big Red Switch by cl...
HTTP and SSH now set up on my home server.
Well, it seemed extremely easy in the end to set up a home server in the end. I feel that I have not advanced my understanding of Linux a great deal, but I did manage to get a server up an running, of sorts. At least, I think that it is up and runnin...
Rock and Roll! .htaccess is running
OK, just found out where I am going wrong. And I am going wrong in more ways than one. Firstly, I need to modify the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to allow .htaccess rules to override the httpd.conf. Really I should not use .htaccess, but as I...
sudo chmod -R 755 ./articles
I think that I found the solution, or at least a solution (it does not seem ideal).I typed this:sudo chmod -R 755 ./articlesand it works.But, this leads to questions:1. There must be one command to change permissions for all subdirectories?2. why ./a...
Problem with permissions
OK, it seems that I have a problem with permissions now (I initially thought that my .htaccess file is missing, which has code in to allow php to be parsed in html files).Anyway, I decided to create a new .htaccess first, using:sudo gedit /var/www/.h...
Steep learning curve with Apache server
OK, last night I installed Apache and PHP. I was going to install MySQL this evening, but I decided that instead I would start with the next project I have, which is updating the template for Tranquillizer. So I thought that the most sensible way to...
Linux, Apache, PHP Success. Next MySQL...
Well, everything seems to be going exceptionally smoothly so far. Time for bed now, but next time I will be installing MySQL. Then once that is set up I should in theory have a test environment to test database driven websites such as Drupal and Word...
Installing PHP on Ubuntu
I am now going to record my progress at installing PHP on Ubuntu, in the same way that I recording the results of installing Apache. Again, for my benefit, and your amusement. Are you laughing at me or with me?jon@jon-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install...
Installing Apache
OK, this post will seem very strange to most readers. I am in the process of installing Apache onto my Ubuntu distribution, and I want to record everything that happens. So I am simply copying to this blog the terminal output. To most people this wil...
Linux Ubuntu - a Whole New World
As part of my ongoing self education of the internet and computers in general, I have just installed the open source operating system, Linux, onto my old Athlon 1Ghz pc. I chose Ubuntu (version 7.04) as I was advised that it is a very "newbie" frien...
