Partition the new disk using fdisk command
Following command will list all detected hard disks:
# fdisk -l | grep '^Disk'
Output:
Disk /dev/sda: 251.0 GB, 251000193024 bytes Disk /dev/sdb: 251.0 GB, 251000193024 bytes
A device name refers to the entire hard disk. For more information see Linux partition naming convention and IDE drive mappings. To partition the disk – /dev/sdb, enter:
This installation was performed on a Ubuntu 14.04 distribution system.
While there are a variety of FTP server tools available for Linux, one of the most popular and mature options is vsftpd. Begin by SSHing into your server as root and use the apt-get command to install vsftpd:
apt-get update apt-get install vsftpd

The installation of a supported Proxmox VE server should be done via Bare-metal_ISO_Installer. In some case it makes sense to install Proxmox VE on top of a running Debian Stretch 64-bit, especially if you want a custom partition layout. For this HowTO the following Debian Stretch ISO was used:
Install a standard Debian Stretch (amd64)
Install a standard Debian Stretch, for details see Debian, and select a fixed IP. It is recommended to only install the “standard” package selection and nothing else, as Proxmox VE brings its own packages for qemu, lxc.
Add an /etc/hosts entry for your IP address
Please make sure that your hostname is resolvable via /etc/hosts, i.e you need an entry in /etc/hosts which assigns an IPv4 address to that hostname.
Note: Make sure that no IPv6 address for your hostname is specified in `/etc/hosts`
For instance if your IP address is 192.168.15.77, and your hostname prox4m1, then your /etc/hosts file should look like:
Install ncftp client
Type the following apt-get command under Debian / Ubuntu Linux to install ncftp client, run:
$ sudo apt-get install ncftp
If you are RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux user, type the following yum command to install ncftp client (first turn on EPEL repo):
# yum install ncftp
Syntax and examples:
The syntax is as follows:
Once setting up the LAMP stack, you must be wondering to see that you no longer been able to login phpmyadmin using root credentials.
MySQL 5.7 changed the secure model: now MySQL root login requires a sudo (while the password still can be blank). I.e., phpMyAdmin will be not able to use root credentials.
The simplest (and safest) solution will be create a new user and grant required privileges.
1. Connect to mysql
sudo mysql --user=root mysql
2. Create a user for phpMyAdmin
Run the following commands (replacing some_pass by the desired password):
CREATE USER 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
If your phpMyAdmin is connecting to localhost, this should be enough.
First Check if NetworkManager is running on Ubuntu / Debian
Usually you should be using NetworkManager by default (Ubuntu 14.04), just in case you want to be sure, use this command to verify:
dpkg --get-selections | grep network-manager
In case there is some output like:
network-manager install
it is installed, if there is nothing returned, you are probably using a different network managing daemon. It would be possible that network manager is installed but inactive. Lets check if its running the hard way:
ps aux | grep network-manager
If thats returning something different than itself, you can be sure using the NetworkManager in Ubuntu / Debian.
Disable Network Manager Completely
Here is how to disable Network Manager completely, so that Network Manager stops running on your Linux system.
To disable Network Manager on Debian 8 or later:
$ sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service $ sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
To disable Network Manager on Debian 7 or earlier:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop $ sudo update-rc.d network-manager remove
To disable Network Manager on Ubuntu or Linux Mint:
Exporting all addresses (mailboxes, aliases and distribution lists) is a vital tool if you have a backup MX and only want it to accept email for valid recipients. One reason for that is to stop spammers who simply use a dictionary of common names to generate recipient email addresses which would flood a backup MX with undeliverable email. Some anti-spam providers (e.g. Postini) have automatic provisioning processes for making this possible.
A naive process of extracting mailboxes looks like this:
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmaccts | grep 'active' | egrep -v '^\W+' | awk '{print $1}'
Unfortunately, this doesn’t give distribution lists and aliases, so a more sophisticated approach is necessary, for which there is no specific tool and requires using the ldap tool thus:
There are two main directives responsible for Nginx upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) error:
proxy_read_timeout – Defines a timeout for reading a response from the proxied server. Default is 60 seconds.
location ~ ^/slow-proxy {
proxy_read_timeout 180; # <---
proxy_pass ...;
}
* you can use proxy_read_timeout inside http, server and location blocks.
you can install the phpredis extension from the Ubuntu respositories.
First, if you don’t have it installed already, let’s install Redis:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
After we get Redis installed (and/or verified that it was installed), we can install the PHP module for Redis:
sudo apt-get install php5-redis
After the module is done installing, you will want to restart your webserver and/or process manager (php-fpm, spawncgi, et cetera). Once you’ve restarted, you can check phpinfo() for a new section labeled Redis.
On Ubuntu 14.x System, you may try:
Install Redis 2.8.9
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install redis-server
Remove Redis 2.8.9
sudo apt-get purge--auto-remove redis-server
Nginx can be configured as a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic around several backend servers. SSL termination is the process that occurs on the load balancer which handles the SSL encryption/decryption so that traffic between the load balancer and backend servers is in HTTP. The backends must be secured by restricting access to the load balancer’s IP, which is explained later in this article.
Prerequisites
In this tutorial the commands must be run as the root user or as a user with sudo privileges. You can see how to set that up in the Users Tutorial.
