SNMP

run snmpconf

/etc/default/snmpd get rid of 127.0.0.1

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf should have at least the following:

 rocommunity public  default    -V systemonly
rocommunity  euhostro

to define the community and

agentAddress
agentaddress

in order to allow the daemon to listen to all IP adresses instead of only localhost

test with

snmpwalk -v1 -c euhostro localhost

then from another server:

snmpwalk -v1 -c euhostro IPADRESS

Proftpd

/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf add

DefaultRoot                     ~/../../

Also add /bin/false to /etc/shells

This allows users to log in with ftp, but not with ssh

For AWStats

LogFormat awstats "%t   %h      %u      %m      %f      %s      %b"
ExtendedLog /var/log/xferlog read,write awstats
TransferLog none
RequireValidShell off

Hosting scripts and directories

mkdir /home/adm_usr/webserveradmin/ -p
mkdir /opt/triphost/ -p
mkdir /opt/weblog/etc -p
mkdir /opt/weblog/src -p

copy the stuff from another webserver into these dirs and find and replace the servername in these directories.

mkdir /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site/sitestats/ -p
mkdir /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site/sitestats/servername.tripany.com/
mkdir /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/logs/
mkdir /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/sites/ftpstats
chown razor /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site -R

APC

add

apc.shm_size=512M

to /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-apc.ini

Apache2

log rotation

/etc/logrotate.d/apache2

/var/log/statistics {
        daily
        missingok
        rotate 8
        compress
}

/var/log/apache2/*.log {
        prerotate
               # Run the central statistics before rotating the logs
                /opt/triphost/statisticsSERVERNAMEweb.sh
                # Then we split the logs for the virtual hosts
                /opt/triphost/apachelogsplit.sh
                # Run the individual site stats
                /opt/triphost/sitestatistics.sh
                echo "All done for the day" >> /var/log/statistics
                date >> /var/log/statistics
        endscript
        daily
        missingok
        rotate 7
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        create 640 root adm
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                if [ -f "`. /etc/apache2/envvars ; echo ${APACHE_PID_FILE:-/var/run/apache2.pid}`" ]; then
                        /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null
                fi
        endscript
}

touch /var/log/statistics
mkdir /var/log/apache2/virts
mkdir /var/log/apache2/awstats

apache2 conf

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf change LogFormat and add %v to the beginning of the the combined format

LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

And also check the values of

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers          100
    MinSpareServers       80
    MaxSpareServers      150
    MaxClients          250
    MaxRequestsPerChild   0
</IfModule>

and make sure

Options -Indexes

is in there!

/etc/apache2/ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    NameVirtualHost *:443
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

Creating a proxy passthrough

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf

# Tripany change: This forces it to proxy to the monitor server
# Requires libapache2-mod-proxy-html and a2enmod proxy
ProxyRequests Off
#ProxyPass / http://monitor.tripnet.int/
#ProxyPassReverse / http://monitor.tripnet.int/

ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.210/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.210/

NB you can also do

ProxyPass /internal http://192.168.0.210/
ProxyPassReverse /internal http://192.168.0.210/

Which will make requests to http://external.domain/internal/foo go to http://192.168.0.210/foo. Note no trailing slashes!

Make sure all the proxy modules are enabled and restart the server after changes, don't reload.

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

change

ServerName IPADDRESS
DocumentRoot /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site

and add

 Redirect /stats http://servername.tripany.com/sitestats/tripwraith.tripany.com/index.php
        Redirect /livestats http://servername.tripany.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=tripwraith
#       AliasMatch ^/mailstats(.*) /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/mailstats/awstats.servername.mail.html
        AliasMatch ^/ftpstats(.*)  /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/ftpstats/awstats.servername.ftp.html
        <Directory /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride Options Authconfig
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
        </Directory>

to the bottom

So it should look something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/site
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

make sure this links from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default as this becomes the fallback site for any IP or domain name not otherwise used.

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

Because we edited ports conf, we need to change:

and of course very important are

       SSLEngine on

       SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

       SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

       SSLCACertificatePath /etc/ssl/certs/

default-ssl should look something like

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ssl_access.log combined
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
        SSLCACertificatePath /etc/ssl/certs/
        <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </FilesMatch>
        <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
                SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
        </Directory>
        BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
                nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
        BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

make sure that this links from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl as we need this to be the first SNI site.

Disable SSLv3

/etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf Make sure it has SSLv3 disabled, check the line:

SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3

Standard site

Should look something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName robin.tripany.com
        DocumentRoot /home/sites/robin.tripany.com/site
        ServerAdmin red@tripany.com
        ServerAlias tripany.com
        Redirect /stats http://USGP.tripany.com/sitestats/robin.tripany.com/index.php
        Redirect /livestats http://robin.tripany.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=robin.tripany.com
        <Directory /home/sites/robin.tripany.com/site/>
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

ensure sites have indexes

cp /var/www/index.html /home/sites
cp /var/www/index.html /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site/

listvirts

/etc/apache2/listvirts (NB has to start at group 100!)

# nb make sure first site after the original starts at 100!
tripwraith.tripany.com - site0
some.site.com - site100

OLD

create /etc/apache2/sites-available/82.95.91.75 with DocumentRoot /home/sites by hand!

/OLD

create /etc/apache2/sites-available/servername.tripany.com

link it in in sites-enabled

check both sites to see if they go to different indexes.

a2enmod rewrite (or a2enmod for options list)

vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats

Alias /awstatsicon/ /usr/share/awstats/icon/

Post configuration

AWStats

cp /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats

Make sure that /var/log/apache2 is readable by www-data

chgrp /var/log/apache2/ www-data -R

touch /var/log/statistics

/etc/awstats/model.conf

tar xzvf /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats.model.conf.gz
cp /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats.model.conf /etc/awstats/model.conf

Changes in the model.conf for our scripts:

LogFile="thislogfile"
LogFormat="%virtualname %host %other %logname %time1 %methodurl %code %bytesd %refererquot %uaquot"
SiteDomain="thissitedomain"
HostAliases="localhost 127.0.0.1 REGEX[thisdomname\.(thisdomext)$]"

AllowFullYearView=3
SaveDatabaseFilesWithPermissionsForEveryone=1
KeepBackupOfHistoricFiles=1
DebugMessages=1

cp /etc/awstats/model.conf /etc/awstats/awstats.servername.tripany.com.conf

Edit the following directives:

LogFile="/var/log/apache2/access.log"
SiteDomain="servername.tripany.com"
HostAliases="localhost 127.0.0.1 REGEX[servername.tripany\.(com|nl)$]"

Create the index.php file in /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site/sitestats/servername.tripany.com/

<?
Header('Location: http://servername.tripany.com/sitestats/servername.tripany.com/awstats.zpress.tripany.com.html')
?>

Also do this for the serverIP

copy /etc/awstats/awstats.servername* (ftp / mail / web)

run the statisticsrun in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 by hand to see how it all goes! ie.

cat /opt/triphost/statisticsSERVERNAME.sh

and run this line by line.

cp /opt/weblog/src/weblog_files/graphs/ /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/site/webloggraphs/ -R

testing

When testing, it's sometimes useful to delete the following:

/var/cache/awstats/* -R <- generated static files dir

/var/lib/awstats/* <- database directory

in /etc/cron.d/awstats are the run commands to generate the files.
