Petteri Soininen Juhana Kraemer Jussi Vähämäki ”Group PJJ”

 Get to know Linux server basics  Two thirds of the group had basically no experience on them prior to this course  To create some basic server  Nothing too fancy

 Debian distro was chosen because of Jussi’s earlier experience with Debian  Installing went without incident, only thing we had to do was download the newest image from the web  Installation was done by Vmware vSphere client software

 We did the basic server configurations  Creating users  Updating packages etc.  Vmware tools  Other course related tasks

 SSH was installed to enable remote access through Putty  VPN required to login (this was provided by the teacher)  After this we basically did the course assignments remotely through the Putty terminal

 We had some trouble coming up with a server idea  We decided to go for something pretty simple, since Juhana & Petteri didnt really know much in advance and we didn’t want Jussi to do all the work alone

 The Apache web server application was installed on the server by the following command: # apt-get install apache2

 Web server  System information through a phpsysinfo-package

 SSH was installed in order to be able to remotely connect to the server with Putty  This was done by the command: # aptitude install openssh-server  Also a VPN connection was required, because the server is in a closed ciscolab network  This was done by using the OpenVPN client and the config file provided by the teacher

OpenVPN interface Remote connection by Putty

 We downloaded the server software straight to the server with wget  The server software was a zip package, which was extracted with unzip  The server has a web administration interface, which can be accessed by a browser at the port 8080

 Screenshot from the web administration interface

 We also installed an FTP server software with the following command: # apt–get install proftpd  Our FTP server automatically uses the user login information of the server  We configured the FTP server so that the users can only view their own home folder and upload items there

 PJJ-server  Apache webserver  UT 2004 dedicated game server  FTP-server  SSH connection to enable remote access through Putty (and VPN)

 Anything to add or ask?
