This message is an utter pain in the arse and as far as I can see the Plesk Panel installer doesn’t log anywhere. Correct me if I’m wrong!
Anyway it looks like MySQL is a dependency for the install process so install MySQL server and your laughing
yum install mysql-server -y
Here's a sample /etc/smb.conf I use when I need to deploy a nice simple NAS box. Start a nice simple distro, I like CentOS myself. Install samba # yum install samba Create a new system user and set a password. This user is used for ownership and permissions of the shares presented by Samba. # useradd nas-user # passwd nas-user Create a samba password for the new user # smbpasswd -a nas-user Create a directory somewhere for storage of files used by the samba share # mkdir /storage1 Change ownership for the new directory to the new user. All files for the share will be owned by this user. # chown nas-user:nas-user /storage1 Now edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = Sales-Department server string = "Some comment, visible only from network browser in Windows" netbios name = FileServer # Disable printers and faxes load printers = no disable spoolss = yes printcap name = /dev/null # Only allow connections from 192.168.1.0 subnet. Deny everything else hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 security = user passdb backend = tdbsam [backups-storage] comment = Storage for backups and archives path = /storage0 force user = backups-user force group = backups-user read only = No guest ok = Yes Now restart the samba service. # service smb restart
Recently somebody asked me how to have a few users able to access the same directory over FTP. But only allow some of them to have read-write access, and let the rest be read-only.
I use vsftp which needs to be modified a little bit for this to work.
edit /etc/vsftp/vsftpd.conf (on CentOS, your distro may store the .conf somewhere else)
You’ll need to change “local_umask” from 022 to 0007. Save and restart the service
/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
# Add 2 new groups, one for read only users and the other will be for the read-write guys
groupadd ftp-readonly
groupadd ftp-readwrite
# Create a document store where all FTP users will access once they are logged in. always a good idea to put it in /home
mkdir /home/ftp-docs
chmod 775 /home/ftp-docs/
chown root:ftp-readwrite /home/ftp-docs
# Add the new users
useradd -g ftp-readwrite -d /home/ftp-docs user1
useradd -g ftp-readwrite -d /home/ftp-docs user2
useradd -g ftp-readonly -d /home/ftp-docs user3
# Set the users password
passwd user1
passwd user2
And your done.
The reason you need to change the umask is when a new directory is created by a read-write user the permissions by default don’t give full write-write access, I believe it’s read-only (for other users in the group).
So user1 can create a directory but only user1 can remove it.
For each device create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 (eth0 in this example)
One line per static route please:
10.10.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.2 dev eth0
10.10.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.2 dev eth0
service network restart
This is pretty handy. It will make an exact copy of a disk on your local machine to a disk on a machine anywhere running Linux with an SSH server running.
Because we’re playing with filesystems I strongly recommend you only do this when both machines are booted off live CD’s. Trying to do a disk dump of a mounted volume is the doings of a mad man and will surely end up in data curruption.
dd if=/dev/sda ibs=32k obs=2k | ssh root@192.168.1.10 “dd of=/dev/sda obs=32k”
This will dump the content of your local disk, /dev/sda to a local disk on a remote machine, also /dev/sda in this case.
You will need root access on the remote machine.
I find this will very useful when migrating virtual machines where you can be sure the hardware on source and destination machines are the same.
