Good morning board members.
I am trying to set up a server where i can host my websites, since my profession is website developper, using Ubuntu 8.04.
****************************
Note:
There is no bug or problem with an existing guide, just wanted to ask whether I am following the right path and if there are any further guides (if needed).
****************************
Alright, so far I have read various guides and executed followed ones:
-
The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server)
-> Database Server: MySQL 5.0
(worked)
-> Mail Server: Postfix
(worked)
-> DNS Server: BIND9
(worked)
-> FTP Server: proftpd
(assuming it worked)
-> POP3/IMAP: I will use Maildir format and therefore install Courier-POP3/Courier-IMAP.
(worked)
-> Webalizer for web site statistics
(assuming it worked)
-> ISPConfig
(did not try install)
-
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
-> Send local messages and view those via SuirrelMail.
(worked)
-
Virtual Hosting With Proftpd And MySQL (Incl. Quota) On Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
-> Access from local windows machine.
(worked)
-> Seems to be rather slow to get the 'welcome message' from the ubuntu server.
(still assuming it worked)
-
DNS server Setup using bind in Ubuntu
-> No error in the syslog (anymore).
(assuming it worked)
Server data:
- Servername: lainHost.
- Hostname: Used 'lainHost.lain.ch' in all guides (did register the domainname at switch.ch).
- IP-Address: Used 192.168.1.100 in all guides.
Questions:
- So basically I am wondering if that is all or if I missed something, which is required to display websites via my ubuntu server.
-> Do I need a static IP-Address (or am I to change the DNS on switch.ch each day)?
-> How do I make that local SquirrelMail system global? u
Thank you for reading, every help is appreciated.
