Install a new server Organic Design procedure |
Download and install Debian
If the server has no OS then download and install Debian first. Depending on the kind of access you have to the server, the following links may be of interest here:
Setting up the software environment
Run through the Debian Post Install to install the software components required by the organisation. After running through the post-install script you will have a functioning server and LAMP environment. In general the post-install script covers the following:
General utilities
- 7zip, bzip2
- make
- htmldoc
Network
- LAN
- DNS
- Webmail (Roundcube)
- SMTP (Exim)
- POP (Dovecot)
- IMAP (Dovecot)
- LDAP
Apache
- SSL
- Vhosts
MySQL
PHP5
- SQLite
PERL
- SCP
SVN
For distributed backup of servers and workstations
Setting up the Wikia file structure
Either copy the /var/www directory structure from an existing wikia installation (excluding the specific content from the domains and wikis directories). Alternatively, unpack a recent www-yyyy-mm-dd.tgz backup into /var/www and remove specific wiki content.
7za x www-yyyy-mm-dd-tgz tar -xf www.tar /var
Domain names
Adjust the names of the symlinks in the /var/www/domains directory to local domain names and ensure that those names are added to the /etc/hosts file.
Extracting Databases from a Backup
Extract the most recent database backup (this may overwrite existing databases of the same names)
7za x all-yyyy-mm-dd.sql.7z mysql -u root -p < all.sql
