Haas PhD Students have two new servers and this page details their configuration.
Contents
IP Addresses
During the configuration phase the servers will be on:
- phd-pgsql: 128.32.66.163
- phd-lamp: 128.32.66.164
Base configurations
Both servers are running CentOS release 5.5 (cat /etc/*release*), which uses the Yum package manager (yum list installed | more). Both have Gnome on Xwindows available, as well as the following common packages:
- cpp 4.1.2-48.el5.
- ftp 0.17-35.el5
- httpd 2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3
- iptables 1.3.5-5.3.el5_4.1
- mysql 5.0.77-4.el5_5.4 (note that this is the client)
- openssh 4.3p2-41.el5_5.1
- pam 0.99.6.2-6.el5_5.2
- perl 4:5.8.8-32.el5_5.2
- python 2.4.3-27.el5_5.3
- php 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3
- samba 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1
- squid 7:2.6.STABLE21-6.el5
Notable additional packages on pgsql are:
- postgresql.x86_64 8.1.22-1.el5_5.1
Package additions/upgrades/removals
On lamp:
- Install Mediawiki
- Install MySQL (the server)
- Remove ftp
On pgsql:
- Remove httpd, mysql, ftp
- Upgrade python to version 3.1
- Install TrueCrypt
Install Mediawiki
Install the public key for the ATrpms repository:
rpm --import http://packages.atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
Enable the ATrpms repository by adding a file called atrpms.repos to /etc/yum.repos.d/
[atrpms] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable failovermethod=priority # requires stable [atrpms-testing] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms testing baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/testing failovermethod=priority enabled=0 # requires stable and testing [atrpms-bleeding] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms bleeding baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/bleeding failovermethod=priority enabled=0
Checking online at ATrpms shows the package contains version 1.15. So do:
yum install mediawiki
To run the configuration script through a browser, create an alias in Apache's httpd.conf:
Alias /wiki "/var/www/wiki" <Directory "/var/www/wiki"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Install MySQL
Install MySql:
yum install mysql-server
Start the server:
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
And make sure it starts automatically on reboot:
/sbin/chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
Set a root password for the database:
mysqladmin -u root password cheit
Configuration
For both servers:
- Mount bear
- Configure Iptables
For lamp:
- Configure Apache
- Configure Mediawiki
- Add Mediawiki extensions
- Create new folder structure
For pgsql:
- Configure Postgre
Mounting bear
mount -t cifs //bear/ed_egan/ /mnt -o user=ed_egan
for the inclusion into fstab or other more sophisticated approaches there is a Centos help page.
Configure Apache
Edit the main config file:
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ... ServerName 128.32.66.164:80 ...
To start Apache (to restart use 'restart'):
/etc/init.d/httpd start
To set Apache to start at boot:
/sbin/chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
First, confirm your IP address:
/sbin/ifconfig
Configure IP Tables
For lamp we need a hole for port 80 for the webserver. For pgsql we need a hole for our clientware. General documentation is available in iptables from Centos
Check that iptables is running:
/sbin/lsmod | grep ip_tables
Backup the old rules:
cp /etc/sysconfig/iptables /etc/sysconfig/iptables.bak
Add a hole (or two):
vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables ... -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 128.32.66.0/24 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 128.32.67.0/24 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 128.32.74.0/24 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -s 10.136.0.0/23 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT ...
Restart the service:
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
Configure MediaWiki
Browse to /wiki/config/index.php (having set an Apache alias above), and set the following setting:
WikiName: HaasPhDWiki Contact: kimg@haas.berkeley.edu Admin password and dbase password: cheit All other setting as default
Backup the LocalSettings.php file and copy it up:
cp /var/www/wiki/config/LocalSettings.php /var/www/wiki/config/LocalSettings.php.bak cp /var/www/wiki/config/LocalSettings.php /var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php
Data
For lamp:
- Import Wiki pages
- Change links to pdfs and repository files
