PPPower Server

AN!Wiki :: How To :: PPPower Server

With tongue firmly in cheek, this is a tutorial on building an EL6 server for hosting website and email using PostgreSQL, Postfix and Postgrey for mail and Apache for web. There are many canned and arguably superior was of accomplishing the same, but this is what I user for this server.

Post OS Install

First, the packages we will want to install:

yum install httpd httpd-tools postgresql-server postgresql-plperl postgresql-contrib postgresql mysql-server telnet

Apache

After all changes, use this to make sure there are no syntax errors.

service httpd configtest

Syntax OK

PostgreSQL

Create the admin user called alteeve which will own the databases we will create and use.

su - postgres
createuser -S -d -R alteeve
psql template1

At the shell, run the following:

ALTER USER alteeve WITH PASSWORD 'secret';

\q

Tell PostgreSQL to require a password for the alteeve user.

cp

Postfix
