LAMP

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
# ... Defined password for MySQL root user
sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# ... Added lines:
#     #MIP CUSTOM
#     ServerName "andlinux"
# ... Restart apache server to activate php module...
sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart

# Move www root dir to /data disk
sudo mv /var/www /data
sudo ln -s /f /data/www /var/www

• Apache configuration file is at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
• By default, Apache root http directory is /var/www

To restore a MediaWiki backup (see also [2] for DB creation, and [3] for MySQL restore command):

mysql --user=root -p mysql
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mikiwiki;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mikiwiki.* TO miki@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '********';
mysql> quit

#Restore the wiki files
sudo mkdir /var/www/miki
cd /var/www/miki
sudo tar --strip 1 -xvzf ~/backup/wiki-20091111-www.noekeon.org_miki.daily.tar.gz
sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/miki
sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/miki
#Edit /var/www/miki/LocalSettings.php to match current config
sudo vi /var/www/miki/LocalSettings.php
# ... $wgDBserver="localhost"

# Restore the SQL backup (! note that mikiwiki is not the password, but the db name !!!):
gunzip < wiki-20091111-www.noekeon.org_miki.daily.sql.gz | mysql -u miki -p mikiwiki
# ... enter password for user miki

Sage

• Install Sage 4.2.1, Ubuntu 9.10 32bit i686

cd /mnt/data
tar -xv --lzma -f sage-4.2.1-linux-Ubuntu_9.10-i686-Linux.tar.lzma
mv sage-4.2.1-linux-Ubuntu_9.10-i686-Linux sage-4.2.1
sudo ln -s /mnt/data/sage-4.2.1 /sage

• Sage complains that version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /sage/local/lib/libgmpxx.so.3). Fix is to install locally a more up-to-date version of libstdc++ (see [4]):

cd /sage/local/lib
wget http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/tmp/fedora11/libstdc++.so.6.0.12
ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.12 libstdc++.so.6

• Start sage with sage, and start the web notebook GUI:

notebook(address='', port=8000)         # sage listen on port 8000 to serve notebook GUI

SSH

• Installed SSH-Tunnel
• Files recovered from other installation (ssh-tunnel v2.26 + patch):

  • sudo cp .../ssh-tunnel.pl /usr/local/bin
    

  • sudo cp .../ssh.pl /usr/local/bin
    

  • sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin
    

• User beq06659 - configuration file in directory ~/.ssh:
  • id_rsa || id_rsa.pub || authorized_keys || config || config-home || config-nxp || config-home
  • clbanner.txt || proxy.conf (for ssh-tunnel)

Windows Host Settings

• See Windows configuration file here
• Network - TAP interface
  • Name: TAP-Colinux (must be sync'ed with name defined in settings.txt
  • IP Address: 192.168.11.1
  • Mask: 255.255.255.0

To Do

• Interesting packages:
  • MIME decoding: mime-codecs (from dapper universe), mimedecode
• Proxy settings
  • Use cntlm to enable FTP through SSH SOCKS5 proxy when behind a corporate proxy.
