I needed a web server to test code on, so I loaded up my spare box with Debian Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It was fairly easy since I roughly followed the recipe used in a SecurityFocus article (Parts 1 and 2) less the Snort and ACID stuff. Debian is not the easiest Linux to install, but once it's on the apt-get package system makes installing stuff a breeze. Once it's all installed, by far the biggest PITA of the whole affair is getting PHP to work with Apache. It's kind of a hit or miss thing, and if you miss you can spend hours fiddling with config files till it finally works.

Once it was all installed and running, I installed Webmin, which is a great way to remotely manage Linux/BSD machines. There was a problem though....the network nazis at the big corporation I work for only allow web traffic (ports 80 and 443) to and from the Internet. No SSH, no FTP, no Webmin on some random port. The solution was to have Webmin and the web server listen on ports 443 and 80 - voila, I can access and control the server from the confines of work! Till I'm caught, anyway.|||106090896543701025|||8/14/2003 07:28:00 PM|||Skillzy|||Today I got an accidental random hit from Broad at Bat.

For those of you who aren't addicted to Slashdot, basically SCO is claiming that they own the rights to a certain flavor of UNIX, and that IBM used parts of it in Linux, so that means SCO owns Linux now, and everyone who uses Linux should pay them, especially IBM. Um, I don't pay for Windows, why am I gonna pay you more than a decent PC costs for the privilege of trying to run Linux? Apparently their strategy is to avoid bankruptcy through extortion. Now Red Hat has sued SCO, and SuSE is backing them up, and today IBM unleashed their lawyers. My hope is that SCO is revealed for the weasels that they are, driven out of business, and Linux is allowed to continue growing and getting better without this cloud overhead.|||106030061820645867|||8/06/2003 07:21:00 PM|||Skillzy|||Novell bought Ximian.
