Building a Linux Server and LAMP on Ubuntu
Here are three helpful Linux learning documents that
recently were posted on the web: 1) a 2-part Guide on How to
Build a Linux Server, 2) a 2-part Tutorial on
Installing and Configuring LAMP on Ubuntu, and
3) a Linux Command Cheat Sheet.
1)
Guide
on How to Build a Linux Server - Part 1
This
2-part tutorial guide will show you how to build a home file server
running Xubuntu Linux, with a web interface,
bit-torrent, and accessible from anywhere. It needs to be
fast,
extensible, and flexible. One of the
strengths of Linux is it's a great OS to run on low power and older
hardware. That's because the
strength of Linux lies in its Command Line Interface
(CLI). Because
many things
in Linux are done through the editing of small files, there
is often no need for a GUI interface. With a relative small
number of
commands you can totally change the functioning of a Linux system. CLI
isn't hard to learn and the Linux
“man” pages provide a convenient way for learning
it,.
This illustrated
Linux tutorial shows and demonstrates how to install a Linux
home file
server, with remote administration, runing without a
monitor. Also,
a web-based P2P solution is set up to run on the box. This
tutorial also gets into the area of scripting.
Scripting
is one of the features that Linux has over Windows, as most
tasks can
be
automated through scripts.
- Xubuntu
- Fire It Up
- File Sharing (Samba & proFTPd)
- FTP Server
- Remote Administration (x11VNC && SSH)
- P2P (Torrentflux via Apache, MySQL, PHP)
- An Introduction to Scripting
- Conclusion
The second part provides details for some more server applications, such as Webmin, SFTP and making the server reachable from the Internet.
2) Installing and configuring LAMP on Ubuntu - Part 1
In this multi-part article, I’m going to be showing you how to install the popular LAMP stack - that’s Linux, Apache, the MySQL database system and PHP (in this example, although you can have Perl, Python etc. instead) for running your own website or web development server.
Installing and configuring LAMP on Ubuntu - Part 2
- Changing your homepage and adding content
- Testing that PHP is working
- Installing PHPMyAdmin
- Installing web applications (WordPress)
3) Here is a one page Unix/Linux Command Reference cheat sheet that will help you get along on the command line.
