Re: [nlug] [Query] Setting up web-server + SMTP server on Linux

I guess XAMPP will workout but how to do that and is there any other alternative ? First check if Apache is already installed and running. It may be. With your browser go to http://127.0.0.1 . If you get a message like It Works, it is installed and running. If not, you need to install Apache with your package manager. Being a Debian user I am not familiar with Fedora's package manager. You will then need to do a little configuring of Apache to get it to read the files where you are storing them. What may be a little help are my notes that I used to set up our Church network Apache, http://oursaviorlcms.net/mediawiki/index.php/Server_Packages#Apache2 . I locate all my web files in /srv/www, not the common /var/www. As for the other parts, Perl, PHP, and MySQL, just use your package manager to install and every thing should be running. MySQL may take a little work, i.e. setting up the first user and password. Generally the MySQL super user is called root, which is really separate from the Fedora super user root. -- Jerry Perkins - http://jperkins.us/ Calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented worker is like calling the corner drug dealer an unlicensed Pharmacist. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups NLUG group.

Re: [nlug] [Query] Setting up web-server + SMTP server on Linux
There are lots of 'how-to' articles on setting up apache, mysql, etc., and an SMTP server. You have been given good advice on the others but the mail server depends on what your purpose is. First let me sidestep the flames before they start. Only qmail is bullet proof. It may be the least problematic after setup, too. (It's good enough for google.) I make these statements from experience, not emotion. I set up a Sendmail server two weeks ago because the client wanted it. They were not in a position to alter course so I set it up. No biggie. If you just want to set one up to see the wheels turn and the bits flow, go find something like qmail rocks and follow the directions word for word. Last time I looked it would produce a nice mail server. If you want to learn how they work, start with Dave Sill's site; lifewithqmail.org/ and read it thoroughly before starting an installation. Follow the directions and use google to help you figure out what things mean as you read. If google does not help read qmail.org and when all else fails ask for help there. Save it for a last resort. After you have qmail playing well, and you understand it go set up a sendmail box. Learn it well enough to discuss it. Then Exim, Postfix and of course that Microsoft one. When you get out of rehab come back and tell us which you liked best.

Re: [nlug] [Query] Setting up web-server + SMTP server on Linux
For SMTP, I like this article. It's for Ubuntu, but the only major difference with RHF is going to be the package install. Use 'yum' not 'apt'. http://my.opera.com/Contrid/blog/show.dml/478684 As for LAMP, it's actually quite easy, just learn to use yum and install apache, php, and mysql.

Re: [nlug] [Query] Setting up web-server + SMTP server on Linux
Are you looking for a solid base that you can add components to and tweak to your heart's content or are you looking for a system where everything is pretty much already built and ready to roll? I think that's an important distinction to make early on. For ground-up projects, I like to use CentOS, since most of my experience has been with Red Hat based distros and CentOS is stable and free. For a pre-built system that includes installable modules (that are already set up and I just have to turn them on and configure them to my liking) I like to use ClarkConnect (recently renamed ClearOS.)
