Configure BIND9 (chrooted DNS Server)
BIND will run in a chroot jail under /var/named/chroot/var/named/ to allow BIND management via ISPConfig.
chmod 755 /var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/named/
chmod 775 /var/named/chroot/var/run/
chmod 777 /var/named/chroot/var/run/named/
cd /var/named/chroot/var/named/
ln -s ../../ chroot
cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/var/named/named.local /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.local
cp /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/var/named/named.root /var/named/chroot/var/named/named.root
touch /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
Enter chkconfig –levels 235 named on
Configure MySQL
Enter chkconfig –levels 235 mysqld on
Note: Consider reviewing the MySQL Tuning guide and Low memory MySQL / Apache configurations for additional MySQL configuration suggestions.
Configure Apache
Modify the DirectoryIndex directive in your httpd.conf file:
vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Locate the DirectoryIndex for your web root
Modify the line to read as follows:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php index.php3 index.pl
Find the line
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Remove Indexes from that line
Options FollowSymLinks
Exit vi
chkconfig –levels 235 httpd on
to start Apache whenever your server boots
Test Your Configuration
BIND
/etc/init.d/named restart
MySQL
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
netstat -tap | grep mysql
- if a line with the word LISTEN displays, MySQL was configured successfully and is now running
mysqladmin -u root password

Add repository to yum:
Howto Repo: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
—————
FROM RPMforge: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge
1. CentOS 5
You should make sure that you have Priorities installed.
1.1. Priorities
yum install yum-priorities
i386 http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
x86_64 http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
(You can find a complete list of rpmforge-release package packages at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/ but it is recommended that you use one of the two listed above).
x64:
rpm -ivh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Test with this command:
yum check-update
yum update
yum -y install phpmyadmin php-mcrypt php-mbstring
vi /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Fine the line :
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ”; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE
AUTH! */
add a secret in the bracket. save the file.
Now you need to configure the access of phpmyadmin:
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
Allow from all
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Try it: http://ipoftheserver/phpmyadmin
user: root
passwd: your password
Synchronize The System Clock
If you want to have the system clock synchronized with an NTP server do the following:
yum install ntp
chkconfig –levels 235 ntpd on
ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
Install Webmin
cd /tmp
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm
access webmin:
https://ipoftheserver:10000
