Setting up the server

1. install ubuntu 5.04 server
2. edit /etc/network/interfaces for static ip address by changing the primary interface to:

   •     # The primary network interface
        iface eth0 inet static
            address 158.59.195.113
            netmask 255.255.252.0
            gateway 158.59.192.1

3. edit /etc/apt/sources.list removing cdrom source at top and uncommenting universe sources
4. do the apt-get dance (apt-get update and apt-get upgrade)
5. install the following using apt-get:
   • ssh
   • zip and unzip
   • apache2
   • mysql-server
   • phpmyadmin

Configuring mysql

1. Point a web brower at http://158.59.195.113/phpmyadmin/
2. By default, username root with no password is enabled
3. Login, click on "Change password", and change the password
4. Click "Databases", fill-in "Create new database" with moodle and click "Create"
5. Click "Privileges" then "Add a new User"
6. Add user moodle with all "Data" and "Structure" privileges checked

Configuring Apache Modules

• As root, run the following:
  • ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf
• Repeat with proxy_connect.load and proxy.load

Configuring virtual hosts

1. Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, adding a NameVirtualHost line, so that the last three lines of the file look like this:

       # Include the virtual host configurations
      NameVirtualHost 158.59.195.113:80
      Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[^.#]* 

2. Create a file named azi.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available with the following:

       
      ServerName linus.yhspatriot.net
      ServerAdmin jeff@elkner.net
      ProxyRequests off
      
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
      
      ProxyPass / http://158.59.195.113:8080/
      ProxyPassReverse / http://158.59.195.113:8080/
      ProxyPass /misc_ http://158.59.195.113:8080/misc_
      ProxyPassReverse /misc_ http://158.59.195.113:8080/misc_
      ProxyPass /p_ http://158.59.195.113:8080/p_
      ProxyPassReverse /p_ http://158.59.195.113:8080/p_
      
   
   
      
      ServerName mysql.yhspatriot.net
      ServerAdmin jeff@elkner.net
      ProxyRequests off
      
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
      
   
      DocumentRoot /var/www/phpmyadmin/
   
      Options +FollowSymLinks
   
      
              php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
              php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off
              php_flag file_uploads On
              php_flag short_open_tag On
              php_flag session.auto_start Off
              php_flag session.bug_compat_warn Off
   
              php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
              php_value post_max_size 2M
      
   
      
              DirectoryIndex index.php
      
      
   
   
      
      ServerName moodle.yhspatriot.net
      ServerAdmin jeff@elkner.net
      ProxyRequests off
      
      Order deny,allow
      Allow from all
      
   
      DocumentRoot /var/www/moodle/
   
      Options +FollowSymLinks
   
      
              php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
              php_flag magic_quotes_runtime Off
              php_flag file_uploads On
              php_flag short_open_tag On
              php_flag session.auto_start Off
              php_flag session.bug_compat_warn Off
   
              php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
              php_value post_max_size 2M
      
   
      
              DirectoryIndex index.php
