PriorWeb Hints and Tips

  • MySQL
MySQL Host Name:
  • Use the generic name mysqlhost as MySQL host name in PHP scripts (as suggested by Priorweb's control panel)
$db_host="mysqlhost";
Create a new database:
Copy database:
  • First create the new database using Priorweb's Control Panel.
  • Second, go to Priorweb's phpMyAdmin page
  • Select database to backup
  • From menu above, chooose Operations, and then Copy Database To.
  • Uncheck CREATE DATABASE before copying, and check Add AUTO_INCREMENT value (no idea if that's necessary, but it is selected on the Export page), then click Go
Backup a database - Using phpMyAdmin:
  • Go to Priorweb's phpMyAdmin page
  • Select database to backup
  • From menu above, select EXPORT, select export in SQL format, export Structure and Data, choose a compression method (e.g. gzipped), click Go
Restoring a database - Using phpMyAdmin:
  • Go to Priorweb's phpMyAdmin page
  • Select database to restore
  • QUESTION: Do we have to delete the content of the database before importing???
Backup / Restore using command-line:
  • See procedure used to back-up this wiki here
  • Or see here

Miki's ToDoList

cd ~/kiwi.noekeon.org/miki/todo
unzip todolist.zip
mv todolist/* .
rmdir todolist
#Now remove garbage files...
find . -name _notes -exec rm -r {} \;            # Ignore errors on directory not found
find . -name __MACOSX -exec rm -r {} \;
  • Edit file dbconnection.php
$db_host="mysqlhost";
$db_name="mikido";
$username="miki";
$password="********";
username: miki
pwd: ********
database: mikido
DirectoryIndex todolist.php
  • Now you can visit https://kiwi.noekeon.org/miki/todo/. Create a user first before creating a task. Note that you must refresh the page (F5) first otherwise drop-down list is not refreshed and page generates an error.

Shell

  • In the following notes, ~ refers to original home directory /opt/www/daemenj/web.
  • bash shell resource file in ~/private/mip.bashrc:
#! /bin/bash

# Clever trick because we cannot write in /opt/www/daemenj/web...
# ... move HOME to private directory so that all commands fetch their configuration file there
export HOME=/opt/www/daemenj/web/private

# Ignore some controlling instructions
export HISTIGNORE="[   ]*:&:bg:fg:exit"

# Aliases
# #######

alias grep='grep --color'                     # show differences in colour

# Some shortcuts for different directory listings
eval `dircolors -b ~/.dircolors.cfg`
alias ls='ls -F --color=auto'					# classify files in colour
alias ll='ls -l'                                                # long list

This is the crontab file on noekeon.org. Install it with crontab -u daemenj crontab. 

# use /bin/bash to run commands, instead of the default /bin/sh
SHELL=/bin/bash
# mail any output to 'michael.peeters@noekeon.org', no matter whose crontab this is
MAILTO="michael.peeters@noekeon.org"

Server Install OVH

Spam filter

Candidates
  • SpamAssassin (SA)
The default standard.
Some installation guides [1].
  • DSpam
Excellent track record, but unfortunately no longer maintained.
Some installation guides [2], [3], [4]
  • Rspamd
A new system.

Mail server

master.cf
  • file master.cf tells which service are running
# ==========================================================================
# service type  private unpriv  chroot  wakeup  maxproc command + args
#               (yes)   (yes)   (yes)   (never) (100)
# ==========================================================================
smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
  • smtp this is the usual smtp service on port 25. Used by other smtp server to send mail.
submission inet n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
 -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
 -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=no
 -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
 -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
 -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
 -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
 -o smtpd_sasl_type=dovecot
 -o smtpd_sasl_path=private/auth
  • submission this is the "secure" smtp service on port used by mail client to send new mail. Note that -o denotes configuration settings that override those in main.cf.
main.cf
  • Testing — add soft_bounce = yes when testing new configuration. This avoids rejecting mail permanently by changing REJECT into DEFER.
# Testing - Uncomment to DEFER instead of REJECT, hence not rejecting mail permanently when testing
soft_bounce = yes
  • Debugging — Add debug_peer_list to enable verbose logging.
# Debugging - Uncomment for verbose logging for connections from listed peers
debug_peer_list = 91.134.134.85
Setup SPF (Syntax, FAQ)
  • I add to the DNS zone:
noekeon.org.       IN  TXT  "v=spf1 a mx -all"
ober.noekeon.org.  IN  TXT  "v=spf1 a -all"
*.example.com.     IN  TXT  "v=spf1 -all"
First line says that all mails from @noekeon.org must come from one of the MX server of noekeon.org domain.
Second line says that mail from server with HELO identification "ober.noekeon.org" must be accepted only if from IP address of server "ober.noekeon.org".
Third rule says that no other sub-domain/server may send email.

Rspamd spam filter

  • Install guide from rspam.com
  • Relevant Postfix documentation:
See example configuration.
Use soft_bounce = yes in main.cf to change a REJECT into DEFER, and hence to avoid losing mail when testing.
To Do
  • Use spamhaus black-list (see postfix example)
Rmilter
  • Guide [5]
  • Install with
   apt-get install rmilter
  • We keep the socket-based bind contrary to what guide suggests. So in main.cf:
# rmilter setup
smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/rmilter/rmilter.sock
milter_default_action = accept
milter_protocol = 6
milter_mail_macros = i {mail_addr} {client_addr} {client_name} {auth_authen}
  • Check the socket. We see it is active and enabled (at boot so).
systemctl status rmilter.socket
# ● rmilter.socket - Another sendmail milter for different mail checks
#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.socket; enabled)
#    Active: active (listening) since Mon 2016-07-18 18:49:22 CEST; 1 day 23h ago
#    Listen: /var/run/rmilter/rmilter.sock (Stream)
  • Check the service
systemctl status rmilter.service
# ● rmilter.service - Another sendmail milter for different mail checks
#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service; disabled)
#    Active: inactive (dead)
  • It is disabled, let's try to start it
systemctl start rmilter.service
  • It fails. We get
systemctl status rmilter.service -l
# ● rmilter.service - Another sendmail milter for different mail checks
#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service; disabled)
#    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2016-07-20 17:56:05 CEST; 1min 31s ago
#   Process: 24168 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rmilter -c /etc/rmilter.conf -n (code=exited, status=233/RUNTIME_DIRECTORY)
#  Main PID: 24168 (code=exited, status=233/RUNTIME_DIRECTORY)

# Jul 20 17:56:05 ober.noekeon.org systemd[24168]: Failed at step RUNTIME_DIRECTORY spawning /usr/sbin/rmilter: File exists
# Jul 20 17:56:05 ober.noekeon.org systemd[1]: rmilter.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=233/RUNTIME_DIRECTORY
# Jul 20 17:56:05 ober.noekeon.org systemd[1]: Unit rmilter.service entered failed state.
  • Let's debug. Where is this runtime directory?
dlocate -L rmilter|xargs grep -id skip runtimedirectory
# /lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service:RuntimeDirectory=rmilter
# /lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service:RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755
  • Look for a fix on internet: Here [6], it suggests to add to /lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service:
 [Service]
 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rmilter -c /etc/rmilter.conf -n
 ExecReload=/bin/kill -USR1 $MAINPID
 User=_rmilter
 RuntimeDirectory=rmilter
 RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755
+Restart=always
  • So let's try again
systemctl start rmilter.service
# Warning: Unit file of rmilter.service changed on disk, 'systemctl daemon-reload' recommended.
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl status rmilter.service
# ● rmilter.service - Another sendmail milter for different mail checks
#    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rmilter.service; disabled)
#    Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-07-20 18:21:45 CEST; 53s ago
#  Main PID: 24895 (rmilter)
#    CGroup: /system.slice/rmilter.service
#            └─24895 /usr/sbin/rmilter -c /etc/rmilter.conf -n

Miscellaneous

  • Postfix complains that it is setuid root:
Jul 18 05:22:30 ober postfix/sendmail[27605]: warning: the Postfix sendmail command has set-uid root file permissions
Jul 18 05:22:30 ober postfix/sendmail[27605]: warning: or the command is run from a set-uid root process
Jul 18 05:22:30 ober postfix/sendmail[27605]: warning: the Postfix sendmail command must be installed without set-uid root file permissions
It is not necessary to run procmail as setuid root with postfix [7], so we do:
ls -l /usr/bin/procmail
# -rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 88K Feb 11  2015 /usr/bin/procmail
chmod u-s /usr/bin/procmail
ls -l /usr/bin/procmail
# -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 88K Feb 11  2015 /usr/bin/procmail
