How to install and configure owncloud on debian

As we see in owncloud.org -> install – there are several options for installation – an archive file, a web installer and packages for various systems.

I decided to install the package to be able to put updates and to automatically satisfying the dependencies.
For Debian 7.0, you must first run the following commands (as root, of course):

Добавим ключ репозитория:
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:community/Debian_7.0/Release.key apt-key add - < Release.key

Enable the repository, update the information about the packages and install:
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/Debian_7.0/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list aptitude update aptitude install owncloud

(you can use apt-get instead of aptitude)

As I thought – quite a lot of packages were in dependencies, so this is the best way to install ownCloud.

There are a few simple steps left:
1. Go to http://your-server/ownCloud
2. Set a password and login for the administrator
3. It is best to specify the folder when installing, where all the data will be – specifically create such a folder in the right place on the server and make web user the owner of it.

mkdir /home/backup/ownCloudData chown www-data: /home/backup/ownCloudData

4. It is usually recommended to create a user and database in Mysql. But this is for large installations. In my case, this was necessary for several people, so the sqlite database is sufficient.

5. it’s all!

SMTP PTR error ipv6 authentication error (Vesta CP with Exim)

I tried to send an email to gmail on my Debian server (with the Vesta panel installed). I received this error:

 SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
 host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [2a00:1450:400c:c01::1b]:
 550-5.7.1 [2001:41d0:8:e974::1] Our system has detected that this message does
 550-5.7.1 not meet IPv6 sending guidelines regarding PTR records and
 550-5.7.1 authentication. Please review
 550-5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=ipv6_authentication_error for more

Thus, I need to add a PTR record for my ipv6 address. However, not all providers provide such an opportunity. The easiest way to solve this issue is by disabling ipv6 in the mail system.

First, I checked:

netstat -tulpn | grep :25
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      17919/exim4     
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2525            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      17919/exim4     
tcp6       0      0 :::25                   :::*                    LISTEN      17919/exim4     
tcp6       0      0 :::2525                 :::*                    LISTEN      17919/exim4

Then I opened Exim configuration file:

nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

I put a ban on ipv6 (disable_ipv6 = true) before the begin acl section as shown below:

######################################################################
#                       ACL CONFIGURATION                            #
#         Specifies access control lists for incoming SMTP mail      #
######################################################################

# disable ipv6
disable_ipv6=true

begin acl

Then I saved the changes and restarted Exim:

/etc/init.d/exim4 restart

Checked:

netstat -tulpn | grep :25
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      18286/exim4     
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2525            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      18286/exim4

all is ready!

How to install and configure the simplemachines (smf) forum on Debian

1. Go to the official site and download the forum source here:
http://download.simplemachines.org/

and the language you need is here:
http://download.simplemachines.org/?smflanguages;lang=russian
(Only you need to be careful when choosing an archive with a language – there are different encodings)

2. Then, we place it all on our hosting.

3. Then, following the guidelines http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Installing
create a database and a user (you can do this in the console, or – in phpmyadmin):

mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE forumdb; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON forumdb.* TO "userdb"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "pass"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT

4. Unpack the forum in the target folder on the server:
mkdir /var/www/forum.example.com cd /var/www/forum.example.com tar -xzvf smf_2-0-x_install.tar.gz tar -xzvf smf_2-0-y_russian.tar.gz (or smf_2-0-y_russian-utf8.tar.gz)

5. Create and edit a configuration for Apache:
nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/forum.example.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName forum.example.com ServerAlias www.forum.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/forum.example.com <Directory "/var/www/forum.example.com"> AllowOverride All Order deny,allow Allow from all AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html </Directory>

6. Verify the configuration and start the installer:
We check whether the configuration file was made correctly:
apachectl configtest
if there are no critical errors – gently restart Apache:
apachectl graceful
Now open your forum in the browser:
http://forum.example.com/install.php

7. Next – follow the instructions of the web installer.

8. Done!
