• Have IIS and FTP service installed from Add/Remove Windows components on Add/Remove programs
• The default FTP site isn't isolated
• Stop the default site
• Right click On FTP sites > New site
• The wizard opens > Next
• Type you description (ex:"My FTP server")
• Choose the IP address and port for this server (IIS FTP server does not rely on headers, IPs only)
• Choose "Isolate Users"
• Enter the FTP root for the home directory
• Choose Read or Read+Write
• Now you are with the wizard

If you stop here you will get a "Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In, Home Directory Inaccessible. Login Failed." Solution:

• under the FTP site root directory, create a folder named "LocalUser"
• Under the LocalUser directory create a directory for each of the users matching the username

I had to find a solution for my company to remote a Linux machine from Windows. The less extra software the better.

The computer to remote has Debian 4.0 installed.

xrdp is a magic solution. It allows to tunnel X into the Windows Remote Desktop Connection application. There is no need for extra software to install on Windows.

You need to install xrdp on the Linux.

apt-get update
apt-get install xrdp

It did not work right away, but after rebooting the Linux machine, everything went smoothly.

Recently I had to remove all the PHP warning from a site.

An easy way is to add

error_reporting(0);

to index.php

System

I started to install mailman on a fresh Debian testing (lenny) system with

• Apache2
• Php5
• MySQL Server
• PhpMyAdmin
• Webmin
  • add deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib to /etc/apt/source.list
  • apt-get update
  • apt-get install webmin

DNS

I'm running on a local network and need to bind my DNS. I will do the configuration for pys60.info:

• put pys60.info in /etc/hostname
• install bind

: apt-get install bind

• Edit /etc/bind/named.conf and add:

zone "pys60.info" {
	type master;
	file "/etc/bind/pys60.info";
};
zone "177.13.10.in-addr.arp" {
	type master;
	file "/etc/bind/177.13.10.reverse";
};

• create /etc/bind/pys60.info and add:

; ——————————————————-
$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     pys60.info. root.pys60.info. (
		1           ; Serial
		604800         ; Refresh
		86400         ; Retry
		2419200         ; Expire
		604800 )       ; Negative Cache TTL
;
@       IN      NS       pys60.info.
@       A       10.13.177.60
www     A       10.13.177.60
scm     A       10.13.177.60
lists   A       10.13.177.60

• Create/Edit __/etc/bind/177.13.10-reverse:

; ———————————————————
$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     pys60.info. root.pys60.info. (
		1         ; Serial

60      IN      PTR     pys60.info.
60      IN      PTR     scm.pys60.info.
60      IN      PTR     lists.pys60.info.

• Check the configurations

named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf
named-checkzone pys60.info /etc/bind/pys60.info
named-checkzone 177.13.10.in-addr.arp /etc/bind/177.13.10.reverse

GForge

The Debian packages for GForge are generously broken. For this reason you will need to install the unstable packages. Change /etc/apt/source.list from:

deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

to:

deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

ProFTPd

apt-get install proftpd

At the time i'm writting, the package is broken and the installation will fail if you choose the standalone mode. You have to choose inet mode

Mailman:

Installing mailman will also install exim4, exim4-config, exim4-base, exim4-daemon-light

apt-get install mailman

You need to create a new list:

newlist

I gave:

• name: mailman
• email: webmaster@pys60.info
• password: xxxx ;)

If you tried to install mailman and that the hostname was different, adding the new list will generate error. To correct this you just have to edit

nano /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py

and change

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = "pys60.info"
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = "pys60.info"

GForge

apt-get install gforge gforge-lists-mailman

My problem is with gforge-mta-exim4

edit

nano /var/lib/dpkg/status

Search for the gforge-mta-exim4 entry (Ctrl+w followed by gforge-mta-exim4)

Delete the block for gforge-mta-exim4.

updatedb
locate gforge-mta-exim4

delete all the file for gforge-mta-exim4
