Before you begin your compilation you should need additional header files and libraries required, please use the following code to install pre-requisities, don’t delete them as you would definitely need them when you upgrade to new releases also:

yum install make gcc automake zlib-devel bison cmake libtool wget gcc-c++ unzip ncurses-devel openssl-devel pcre-devel libxml2-devel curl-devel gd-devel libxslt-devel

Building & Installing Apache prefork

download the latest release of Apache Web Server and unpack:

wget http://ftp.itu.edu.tr/Mirror/Apache//httpd/httpd-2.2.25.tar.gz
tar zxvf httpd-2.2.25.tar.gz 
cd httpd-2.2.25

We advise you to configure with the options below as this form is widely used:

./configure \
        "--prefix=/etc/httpd" \
        "--exec-prefix=/etc/httpd" \
        "--bindir=/usr/bin" \
        "--sbindir=/usr/sbin" \

to build and install source distro, type:

make
make install

Build & Install MySQL

Since we need headers and libraries of mysql for compiling PHP, we will first install MySQL server before PHP compilation.

wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.14.tar.gz/from/http://cdn.mysql.com/
tar zxvf mysql-5.6.14.tar.gz 
cd mysql-5.6.14
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
cmake .  -DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
make
make install

If you encounter problems while running cmake, you have to delete CmakeCache.txt before re-compiling with cmake

#log in to newly created mysql dir
cd /usr/local/mysql/
#change owner and group
chown -R mysql:mysql .
scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
#add service command
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysqld
chkconfig --add mysqld
chkconfig mysqld on
#start mysql server
service mysqld start

change your mysql password by typing:

./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' 
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h change.this.hostname password 'new-password'

Build libmcrypt from the source

libmcypt repo is not included in the main yum repo, so better install it from the source:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcrypt/files/Libmcrypt/2.5.8/libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz/download?use_mirror=garr
tar zxvf libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz
cd libmcrypt-2.5.8
./configure
make
make install

Building PHP-5.5.5 from the source

PHP configuration is also given with the mostly used modules & functionality, download unpack & configure as stated below:

wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.5.5.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
tar zxvf php-5.5.5.tar.gz
cd php-5.5.5
./configure \
        --with-apxs2 \
        --with-curl=/usr \
        --with-gd \
        --with-gettext \
        --with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
        --with-freetype-dir=/usr \
        --with-kerberos \
        --with-openssl \
        --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib \
        --with-mhash \
        --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
        --with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
        --with-pcre-regex \
        --with-pear \
        --with-png-dir=/usr \
        --with-xsl \

        --enable-exif \
        --enable-ftp \
        --enable-gd-native-ttf \
        --enable-soap \
        --enable-sockets \
        --enable-mbstring \
        --enable-zip \
        --enable-wddx
make
make install
libtool --finish /root/php-5.5.5/libs
cp php.ini-production /usr/local/lib/php.ini
sed -i 's/;date.timezone =.*/  date.timezone \= "Europe\/Istanbul"/' /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Download phpMyAdmin and install it to webroot:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/4.0.8/phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages.tar.gz
tar zxvf phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages.tar.gz 
mv phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages /var/www/
mv /var/www/phpMyAdmin-4.0.8-all-languages/ /var/www/phpMyAdmin

create a test page to see if everything went well:

echo "<?PHP phpInfo();?>" > /var/www/index.php

If you cannot see a PHP info page, you need to add httpd directives to your httpd.conf:

echo "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" >> /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-php.conf
echo "AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps" >> /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-php.conf

echo "Include conf/extra/httpd-php.conf" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

restart apache by typing: apachectl restart

The post Compile and build Apache + MySQL + PHP from the source appeared first on VeriTeknik.

Simply get our script from here or on your server via wget.

git clone https://github.com/VeriTeknik/plugged.sh.git

Run the script (as root) to learn about the usage.

sh hostingadd.sh

Usage: hostingadd.sh -u username -p password -d domain -ip IP -dbu dbuser -dbn dbname -dbp dbpass

 -u username : Set the LOGIN name (FTP user)
 -p password : Set the Password
 -d domain : Set the Domain
 -ip ip : Set the IP address for the domain
 -dbu dbuser : Set the MySQL User
 -dbn dbname : Set the MySQL Database Name
 -dbp dbpass : Set the MySQL User Password

The parameters are explained above. The script will try to create the MySQL databases as root, so it will need access to MySQL. In order to manage it, you’ll have to create a .my.cnf file under your /root  path. The /root/.my.cnf file should be like this :

[client]
user=root
pass=yourMySQLrootPassword

Don’t worry about writing your password in clear text. This file is restricted by root access anyway, so if someone can read this file, your server is already compromised.

You can access via FTP by using the username and password provided while running the script. You can also check if the database is successfully added via phpmyadmin (which is installed by plugged.sh)

There isn’t an uninstall script yet, but I’ll write one asap.

To install mod_python, we need the EPEL repositories:

rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
yum install yum-priorities

Now edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/eped.repo file and add priority=10 to the [epel] section.

After that follow the steps below and you’ll have mod_python installed and active.

yum install mod_python
service httpd restart

Now you should configure your httpd.conf files so that apache nows where and when to interpret your Python scripts. If you have installed you system with our LAMP installer, then go to /etc/httpd/conf.d and edit you websites .conf file (starting with a z_)

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/z_castmator.com

Make sure you add the following lines in the <Directory …> </Directory> statements.

AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonDebug On

Don’t forget that PythonDebug is for debug mode. When you’re done developing it may be a good idea to turn it off.

Also don’t forget to add your DirectoryIndex handlers so that Apache knows you can also have Python Index files. You can add this right after the </Directory> statement.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.py

Since we’ve altered with the configuration files of Apache, we should restart it again, then you are ready to go.

service httpd restart

The post Install mod_python on Centos 6 appeared first on VeriTeknik.

DO you ever wanted to set-up a testing server with
– Apache virtual config, logs, paths setted,
– MySQL server with password set,
– FTP Server (Vsftpd),
– PHP and PhpMyAdmin installed & configured on your server or VPS in seconds?

If you answer “yes” to the question, you are in the right place, what does this script do in basic:

– Installs http, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, rpmforge repo and other related packages
– Sets apache configs, mod_deflate, virtual hosts, create user, cgi-bin directory
– Sets time with ntpdate, disables iptables & selinux, mysql password and
– Updates the system

What is needed?
– A clean minimal install of CentOS/Redhat 6.X

How can I download the script?

wget http://www.plugged.in/downloads/plugged.sh

or just download it.

How to use the script?

chmod 755 plugged.sh
./plugged.sh -u username -p password -d domain.com

You can reach phpMyAdmin by typing domain.com/phpMyAdmin/

If you have suggestions or requests please write down!

The post Download Plugged.in LAMP installer for CentOS 6.x appeared first on VeriTeknik.

After a fresh install of CentOS, we will need the wget binary, if you don’t already have it, get it with yum.

yum install wget -y

For some of the dependencies to get installed, we’ll need the rpmforge repository, so let’s add it.

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.*.rpm

Now let’s install the dependencies for our PHP compilation. Keep in mind that these are only for the configuration I’ll describe below, if you use a different compilation, you’ll need to get different packages. Also keep in mind that here I’ll only download the x86_64 packages, if you’re using a different architecture, just delete the x86_64 on every package name that contains it. The reason I specifically used that notation is to avoid downloading i386 packages, which is unnecessary but yum insists on downloading anyway.

yum install gcc make automake autoconf perl.x86_64 httpd-devel.x86_64 libxml2-devel.x86_64 openssl-devel.x86_64 pcre-devel.x86_64 bzip2-devel.x86_64 curl-devel.x86_64 enchant-devel.x86_64 libjpeg-devel.x86_64 libpng-devel.x86_64 libXpm-devel.x86_64 freetype-devel.x86_64 gmp-devel.x86_64 libicu-devel.x86_64 gcc-c++ libmcrypt-devel.x86_64 postgresql-devel.x86_64 aspell-devel.x86_64 libedit-devel.x86_64 recode-devel.x86_64 net-snmp-devel.x86_64 libtidy-devel.x86_64 libxslt-devel.x86_64 libcurl-devel.x86_64 libtool-ltdl-devel.x86_64 -y

Now let’s download the php 5.4.3 source code.

wget http://tr.php.net/get/php-5.4.3.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
tar xvzf php-5.4.3.tar.gz
cd php-5.4.3

We can start the configure-make-make install trio now.

./configure  --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --cache-file=../config.cache --with-libdir=lib64 --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d --disable-debug --with-pic --disable-rpath --with-bz2 --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --without-gdbm --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-iconv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-openssl --with-pcre-regex=/usr --with-zlib --with-layout=GNU --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvmsg --with-kerberos --enable-shmop --enable-calendar --with-libxml-dir=/usr --enable-xml --enable-pcntl --with-imap-ssl --enable-mbregex --enable-bcmath=shared --enable-dba=shared --with-db4=/usr --with-xmlrpc=shared --with-mysql --with-mysqli --enable-dom=shared --with-pgsql --enable-wddx=shared --with-snmp=shared,/usr --enable-soap=shared --with-xsl=shared,/usr --enable-xmlreader=shared --enable-xmlwriter=shared --with-curl --enable-json --enable-zip=shared --without-readline --with-libedit --with-pspell=shared --enable-phar=shared --with-tidy=shared,/usr --enable-sysvmsg=shared --enable-sysvshm=shared --enable-sysvsem=shared --enable-posix=shared --enable-fileinfo=shared --enable-intl=shared --with-icu-dir=/usr --with-enchant=shared,/usr --with-recode=shared,/usr --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-gd
make
make install

Now we have php installed.

Further we can configure the basic steps of Apache.
Edit your httpd.conf file : /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Find the line that says AddType application/x-tar .tgz Append these two lines below it.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Also we should tell apache that index.php is an index file (or whatever index you want), so update your DirectoryIndex as following :

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.htm

copy php.ini-production to /etc/php.ini and edit the file based on your performance requirements, please have a look at our security pages to secure your php configuration from the link.

Some suggestions: Increase upload limit, raise memory_limit to 256M and set date.timezone to your location, in our case it is:

date.timezone = Europe/Istanbul

After saving and exiting the httpd.conf file, restart your Apache services. ( service httpd restart )

Now you have /var/www/html as your default web home root, and PHP 5.4.3 running on it.

The post Building PHP 5.4.3 on CentOS appeared first on VeriTeknik.

Usage areas of Apache mod_rewrite are:

• URL Redirect Ex: Redirection of plugged.in to www.plugged.in
• Browser Redirect Ex: If Internet explorer is below version 7 then redirection to basic folder instead of high technology site
• Bot Redirect, Ex: Redirection of Google bot for SEO optimization to a page which contains static links
• Redirection to a different sun folder regarding to the browser language
• To block out creating hotlinks of picture files Ex: You can prevent consuming bandwidth which is done by pictures used by other sites
• SEO SEO Optimizationu, Ex: To show dynamic pages like php, aspx as static like .html

used for purposes like above.

In order to use Apache Mod_rewrite, you must have the below instructions in the httpd.conf or in VirtualHost settings:

OPTIONS  FollowSymLinks
# or
OPTIONS All
#and
AllowOverride All
#or
AllowOverride FileInfo

You must create “.htaccess” file in the root folder of your web site in order to use mod_rewrite. There is always a point character in the begining of the secret files in the Unix systems, this is why htaccess can’t be seen through FTP applications. Because of this you should backup htaccess file locally if you only use ftp to store your files.
.htaccess must begin with this description:

# Apache must know the URLs which we change.
RewriteEngine On
# After that line, we will write the URLs to change

Rewrite works like an algoritm, fist of all we should tell rewrite to change which requests. For this, we use RewriteCond command.

RewriteCond command

Usage:
RewriteCond [Statement]+[NC]+[OR] RewriteCond process the information like IP Address, site name, etc came from the browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

These are the mostly used statements;
REQUEST_FILENAME: Name of the requested page (ex. index.php)
HTTP_USER_AGENT: Name of the used brwoser or bot(ex. For Firefox Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1 )
QUERY_STRING: Statement after question mark (ex. index.php?page=anasayfa )
SERVER_PROTOCOL: http or https
HTTP_HOST: domain name
THE_REQUEST: Requested page (ex. search.php )
HTTP_REFERER: Site which requested page
[NC] (No Case)
This suffix provides non upper/lowercase sensitive statements.

[OR] (or)
To combine Multi RewriteCond statements.

RewriteRule Statement

You can specify how to write URL after existing condition, with this statement:
[R] (push redirection)
Redirected to external adress.

[F] (forbiddenn)
Redirected to page which indicates no permissions available to this page.

[L] (last rule)
Indicates that this statement is the last statement and no rule run after this point.

Let’s have a look at the examples to sort things up:

Prevent hotlinking

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [NC] # if no referrer
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursitename.com [NC] # if the referrer is not your site
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursitename.com [NC] # if the referrer is not your site
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://site_ip_address [NC] # if the referrer is not your sites ip
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.yoursitename.com/hotlink.jpg [R,L] # redirect to hotlink image

or you can deny the request instead of redirecting to hotlink image:

RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

www redirection

You can use the example below if one or more domain names like domain.com, seconddomain.com redirects to the same site:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.sitename.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.sitename.com/$1 [R,L]

Browser Redirection

It is used when there is differences between browsers while interpreting javascripts and css. Also you can redirect search engine bots such as googlebot to a page which is more plain but no javascript and css at all.By this way you may have a better ranking.

RewriteEngine On

# MS Internet Explorer - Mozilla v4
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/4(.*)MSIE
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /explorer.html [L]

# Chrome - Mozilla v5 - must be before Firefox rule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/5(.*)Chrome
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /chrome.html [L]

# Firefox - Mozilla v5
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/5(.*)Gecko
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /firefox.html [L]

# Googlebot
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Googlebot/2(.*)googlebot
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /google.html [L]

# Lynx or Mozilla v1/2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Lynx/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/[12]
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /resimsiz.html [L]

# others
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ /index.html [L]

Several Home Pages based on Day time

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# 5:00 > < 8:00 funny code
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} >02
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} <05
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ /morning.html

# 8:00 > < 16:00
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} >05
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} <13
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ /day.html

# 16:00 > < 22:00
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} >13
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} <19
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ /afternoon.html

# 22:00 > < 05:00
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} >19
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} <02
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ /night.html

HTTP to HTTPS Redirection

In cases where you only want the checkout page to be SSL enabled.

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{https} !^on$
rewritecond %{QUERY_STRING} checkout$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://sitename.com/checkout.php [R=301,L]

Redirection based on Browser Language

RewriteEngine on

# English
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^en [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /en/ [L,R=301]

# German
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /de/ [L,R=301]

# Spain
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} ^es [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /es/ [L,R=301]

#All other languages
RewriteRule ^$ /default/ [L,R=301]

Third level domain redirection to one site

You might have several domain names pointing the same site like yoursite.com and yoursite.com.au etc and you want to redirect all domain names to yoursite.com, here is the solution:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yoursite.org [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yoursite.info [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yoursite.net [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yoursite.com.au [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,NC, L]

.
