Yea, a lot on Internet. Here is an excerpt of a class I dictated:
Server Linux Fedora Core 4
=============================
Install Fedora Core 4
Do Not install SELINUX.
Type: Custom. No additional packages
Hostname=www.mysite.org.bo
Partitions
sda1 100 /boot
sda2 16747 /
sda3 509 /swap
That is on my server. You must configure server to connect to internet.
If ping www.google.com works, you're done. Must make this configuration
from the command line as root.
Config firewall with IP Tables
=================================
Add to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT
# service iptables restart
Create yum repository
=====================
Install rpm createrepo:
# yum -y install createrepo
Create basedir
# mkdir -p /rpm/Fedora/RPMS
# cd /rpm/Fedora/RPMS
Put every disk on the server and:
# mount /media/cdrom; cp -v /media/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/*.rpm . ; eject
On /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo comment baseurl=, mirrorlist, gpg...,
and add
baseurl=file:///rpm/
Create repo:
# createrepo /rpm
Config Apache web server
============================
# yum -y install httpd
# service httpd start
# chkconfig httpd on
Config Pop3 server with Dovecot
==================================
# yum -y install dovecot
# service dovecot start
# chkconfig dovecot on
Config SMTP server with Sendmail
===================================
# yum install sendmail-cf
# cd /etc/mail/
# vi sendmail.mc
Uncomment (erase dnl) on:
dnl define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
Comment (put dnl):
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Generate sendmail config file:
# m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
Add domains served by server:
# echo mysite.org.bo >> local-host-names
Add networks from whom we accept sending mail:
# echo 10.0.0 RELAY >> access
Regenerate hash tables by restarting service
# make
or
# service sendmail restart
Webmail with SquirrelMail
=============================================
# yum install squirrelmail
Complete data on:
# /usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl
Required: 1, 7 (Motd) and 10 (languaje, I use es_ES)
