HowTo: Setup an, FTP, MySQL, HTTP Home Server – FC4

[larka06]

It is me again. I have tried everything I can think of. I have left the single quotes, taken them out, left the parentheses, taken them out. I have done what they say to do on the mysql site, which is the us the single quotes around the word root and localhost as well as the password. When I do what they say at the mysql site I end up locked out of mysql. At this point I am willing to do what ever to get some advice that works. I will give you any info you say you need and will do it in any fashion you choose including my password. Desperate.

If you wrote this:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('enter_new_password_here') ;

And changed it to something like this:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('sunrise64') ;

And it still doesn't work, then your syntax isn't the issue.
It must me something else. Perhaps there was an error in your setup somewher that was overlooked, and is causing the problem. Any opinions out there what his problem might be? If phpMyAdmin is up and running, you should be able to diagnose alot easier (GUI)....

I have been using an old emachine, 633Mhz, to set this up on. I have decided that it is the machine and so I am going to use my 2200+ amd machine to do this with and see what happens. It is the only thing I can think of since I have done the setup up to mysql about five time now and always get stopped at the same point. Ugg going to the old emachine. Thank you so much for all you do for us newbies. It is truely appreciated. I just want something to work then I will experiment.

Well, do let us know how it turns out, in case others run into this mystery ;-)

What section are you referring to for this step?

[larka06]

I have used my amd box and the old problems I had have disappeared. I am progressing with the setup past the set password point now. I did notice that when trying to setup linux on the emachine box I would run into places where it would stop loading but, I thought it was the cd rom because it is real old. It must just be the emachine is just for windows since it works well with windows.

vsftpd is a GPL licensed FTP server for UNIX systems, including Linux. It is secure and extremely fast. It is stable. Don't take my word for it, though. This demonstrates vsftpd is a mature and trusted solution.
...
...

Access your LAN Linux Server with an FTP Client and login with your FTP User, it will automatically send the user to his/her home directory. Ex: Linux Server /home/Username/

Just something to add on...
notice that normal ftp method via browser or ftp client from wintel machine doesn't work.

However, when use putty's psftp; it works perfectly.
Is it becos vsftp is using some special protocol?

I have went to coffeecup.com and downloaded there ftp client to access my ftp sever and all has worked well. I think it is in the client part that we are having the problem that is why I used someone elses ftp client. Oh! by the way I am doing most of my work from my windows machine. I hope this will help you. I plan on experimenting on this subject more and will post my trials and tribulations to the community.

If I find a great FC4 howto, I'll post it

Thanks for that excellent guide. I already had everything set up except for the vsftpd and now i have a complete set up thanks to you. However, i do have a domain name pointing to my static IP address (from 123 Reg) but i still haven't figured out which DNS server address do we use on our side? I have a home setup and the only DNS server addresses available is my ISP, is this the one you use to point it to?

Maybe, i should go visit the web link now thanks

@matthinckley about accessing /var/www/html/ folder using vsftpd. Just change the group and owner permission of html folder and all sub folders to you, either using chown -R and chgrp -R or change it in the httpd.conf file (you must have root access).

Thanks,

sunburst

you said that the sample my.cnf is for a machine with only 64megs of memory. I am running a machine with 1gig of memory and a 2200+ amd processor. I have up all the values by 10 except the, isamchk and the 2 myisamchks. I am a newbie at this so I was wondering uping them by ten is a good idea also, should I up the other three by 10?
Thanks larka06
