Step-By-Step Install Guide Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring By Kefa Rabah, [email protected] Dec 13, 2010 GTS Institute

Introduction

Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrakelinux or Mandrake Linux) is a French Linux distribution distributed by Mandriva (formerly Mandrakesoft). It uses the RPM Package Manager. The product lifetime of Mandriva Linux releases is 18 months for base updates (Linux, system software, etc.) and 12 months for desktop updates (window managers, desktop environments, web browsers, etc.). Server products receive full updates for at least 24 months after their release. Mandriva Linux contains the Mandriva Control Center, which eases configuration of some settings. It has many programs known as Drakes or Draks, collectively named drakxtools, to configure many different settings. Examples include MouseDrake to set up a mouse, DiskDrake to set up disk partitions and drakconnect to set up a network connection. They are written using GTK+ and Perl, and most of them can run in both graphical and text mode using the ncurses interface. Hands-on Lab Solution: In this Hands-on Lab session, you’ll learn how to setup virtual network on VMware (you may also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Oracle, or Citrix XenServer). In this lab session, we’ll concentrate on installing Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring server which you can then later use to install any other applications as desired. After completing the initial installation I’ll show you how to install DNS server, LAMP server, and Samba file server. You will also learn how to install and secure SFTP using TSL and finally install and secure MySQL database server. You’ll also have opportunity to learn some troubleshooting techniques and also do some lab assignments at the end of the lab session.

Part 1: Install & Upgrade Mandriva 2010

Step 2: Install Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring

1. Hope over to http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/ website and download the Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring 32-bit ISO server, which at the time of writing this lab manual was " mandriva-linux-one-2010-spring-GNOME-europe-americas-cdrom-i586.iso"

2. Once you have downloaded the Mandriva ISO specific to your distribution, you have the option of

burning it into CD or just by using the ISO package to install it from your virtual machine, in our case VMware.

3. Fire-up a new virtual machine and perform the initial configuration and setup to use ISO package.

15

Fig. 21 21. You’re done with Mandriva 2010 Linux 2010 spring server installation. In the next section, we’re going

to perform other post-installation work like system upgrade and etc.

Part 2: Post Installation Configurations.

Step 1: Perform System Upgrade

For best practices in IT, it’s important to always perform systems upgrade after initial installation is completed. To do this, perform the following procedures:

1.1: Perform System Upgrade using Command-line

1. Click Application -> Tools and the select Terminal, as shown in Fig. 22.



16

Fig. 22

1. From Terminal window, issue the command "urpmi.update -a" as shown in Fig. 23: This enables the system to get the latest patches and bug fixes.

# urpmi.update -a

Fig. 23



17

2. Now, from a new Terminal window, issue the "ifconfig" command to view our new IP address. And from Fig. 24, you can see that our static IP address was configured correctly.

Fig. 24

3. Alternatively, you can update your system by using Mandriva Linux Control Center, which you can access by clicking monitor with red circle icon as shown in Fig. 25.

Fig. 25 4. From Fig. 26, the Mandriva Linux Control Center screen, from here you can perform other Mandriva

server management functions. For example, click on the "Update you system” icon to perform system upgrade.



18

Fig. 26 5. Ensure that you have allowed the necessary services that you’ll use for this lab session. To do this,

from Fig. 26, click on Security link and then click “Set up your personal firewall’ icon to access Fig. 27. Check all the desired service and then click OK to apply and close the window. You may be prompted to bind it to particular interface e.g., eth0.



19

Fig. 27 6. You’re done with this section.

Step 3: Change/Set System’s Hostname

In this section we’re going to change the computer hostname. But first let’s check the current hostname.

1. To check the current hostname issue "hostname" command, as shown in Fig. 28. which shows the current hostname is: : "localhost"

Fig. 28: Current hostname: "localhost"

2. Next, we’re going to change the hostname to: "server01.govtestlabs.com". To do so, change

to the directory "/etc/sysconfig" and use your favorite Text editor to edit the "network" file.

[root@localhost ~]# gedit /etc/sysconfig/network



20

Add a line containing “short hostname” as follows: HOSTNAME=server01

Fig.29

Note 1: The "short hostname" (what you see at the bash prompt) is the leftmost segment of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If the FQDN is your.domain.com, the hostname (the short name) would be "your". Note 2: that you do not specify the FQDN with the HOSTNAME variable, it is not even possible. Quoting the manpage of hostname (the tool that is used to set the hostname): You can't change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn) or the DNS domain name (as returned by dnsdomainname) with this command. Note 3: the FQDN/DNS domain name is configured in /etc/hosts by default (unless a more elaborate method like DNS or NIS are used to configure the hostnames – the order in which methods are tried is defined in /etc/host.conf file)

3. Next in the /etc/hosts file I changed the "127.0.0.1 localhost" to:

127.0.0.1 server01 localhost

7. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect. Or if you want to continue working and restart the

system latter, then you can alternatively issue the command

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/network restart

8. Next, from the Terminal window, issue the "hostname" command to view our new hostname, as shown in Fig. 30, and which correctly returns our new hostname.



21


Step 4: Modify the Hosts file toe set FQDN

In this step we want to modify the hosts file to reflect our new "Fully Qualified Domain Name" and IP address. To do this, from the Terminal window issue the command: 1. Using you favorite Text editor, edit your /etc/hosts file, adding both the long & short names to the

127.0.0.1 line, like so (the FQDN is only needed if you're actually part of the network of the FQDN. If you just want to name your computer something different than "localhost", then the short-name is all you need to configure):

127.0.0.1 localhost your.fully.qualified.hostname your

2. If you are configured for a static IP address on your network interface, leave the 127.0.0.1 line

alone, and instead create a new line in the hosts file that links the names to that static IP address, like so:

127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.2 your.fully.qualified.hostname your

Note: one side benefit of this latter method is that you can put every system on your static-IP-based LAN into the file in this fashion, and then use a copy of that same /etc/hosts file on every one of them.

3. In our case, we have:

[root@server01 ~]# gedit /etc/hosts

And add the following line, as shown in Fig. 31: 127.0.0.1 localhost server01.govtestlabs.com servver01



22

Fig. 31a: original Host file

4. Next edit the Hosts file using your favorite Text editor, as shown in Fig. 31(b). Save & Exit.

Fig. 31b: Modified Hosts file. Save & close. Note: So now the Hostname or Fully Qualified Hostname is: "server01.govtestlabs.com"

5. For the final test, issue the ping command, to see if our hostname can return its own localhost IP address (see Fig. 32):

[root@server01 ~]# ping server01.govtestlabs.com

Fig. 32: Ping test. (Note: Hit "Ctrl C" to break the ping test)

6. You’re done with Installing and post configuration of CentOS5.



23

Step 5: Modify your Screen Resolution when using VMware

It is extremely easy to modify your screen resolution from your guest machine running under VMware. To do this, perform the following procedure: 1. From within X, click System tab Preference select Monitors.

Fig. 33 2. Now, click on the drop-down arrow to select your desired Resolution, and then restarted X. 3. You’re done with this section.

Part 3: User management from the command line

Managing Users via GUI You can manage your systems user and group via GUI, which you can access as follows:

1. Click Mandriva Linux Control Center icon select System and click Manage users on the system icon:

To access the manage user and groups GUI interface, as shown in Fig. 34.



24

Fig. 34 Managing Users via Command-line Although most Linux distros comes with excellent graphical tool to manage your users (system-config-users), there are times, for example when administering a server through SSH, that user management has to be done from command line. All operations can be done using the following commands: id, useradd, usermod, userdel, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, passwd These exist in every Linux distribution with slight differences in each command’s supported options. The following info applies to Fedora and other Red Had based distros like CentOS and Mandriva.

Step 1: Create New Users via Command-line

1. To create a user, run useradd command:

# useradd –c "My Example User" username In this case, let add user krabah:



25


Step 2: Change the user’s password

1. To change a user’s password:

# passwd username 2. If it’s used without specifying a username, then the currently logged in user’s password is changed. 3. You’re done with this section.

Step 3: Add a user to a group

1. Usermod is used to modify a user account’s settings. Check the man page for all the available options. One useful use of this command is to add a user to a group:

# usermod -a -G group1 username

Note: the -a option is critical. The user is added to group1 while he continues to be a member of other groups. If it’s not used, then the user is added only to group1 and removed from any other groups. So, take note!

2. You’re done with this section.

Step 4: Remove a user from a group

1. Removing a user from a group is a bit trickier. Unfortunately, there is no direct command, at least not in most Linux distros, that can do that from command line. At first you need to get a list of groups that your user is a member of:



26

# id -nG username group1 group2 group3 ....

2. Then you need to put all these groups as a comma-separated list to the "usermod -G" option,

except for the group from which you want the user to be removed. So, to remove the user from group2, issue the command:

# usermod -G group1,group3,... username


Step 5: Lock and Unlock user accounts

1. Other common usermod uses are to lock and unlock user accounts. To lock out a user:

# usermod -L username 2. To unlock the user:

# usermod -U username 4. You’re done with this section.

Step 6: Delete a user

1. Userdel is used to delete a user account. If the -r option is used then the user’s home directory and mail spool are deleted too:

# userdel -r username


Step 7: Create a new group

1. To create a new group, issue the command:

# groupadd groupname

Note: the -r option can be used to create a group with GID<500 (system). 2. You’re done with this section.

Step 8: Change a group’s name

1. Groupmod can be used to change a group name:



27

# groupmod -n newgroupname groupname


Step 9: Delete a group

1. Groupdel can delete a group:

# groupdel groupname

Note: in order to delete a user’s primary group (usually this is the group with name equal to the username) the respective user must be deleted previously.


Part 4: Mandriva URPMI Utility

Step 1: Mandriva: urpm

1. Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrake and Connectiva) has a toolset similar to APT called urpmi. To install software perform the following commands:

]# urpmi packagename

2. To remove software:

# urpme packagename 3. To update the local package database:

# urpmi.update -a 4. To install security updates and bug fixes:

# urpmi --auto-select

Note: for a more in-depth yum tutorial and other resources, see Managing Software with urpm. 5. You’re done with this section.

http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lx-swinstall-urpm.html



28

Part 5: Install OpenSSH Package

In order to support secure remote connections to your server, you will need to install the OpenSSH package. This package will come in handy in the future to support administrative tasks on the system. By default this package is already installed in the Mandriva server option. 1. To install OpenSSH, issue the following command:

# urpmi openssh -y

2. Now check the status of sshd daemon, if stopped then start it:

Fig. 35 3. To log into a remote computer that is running OpenSSH, you use the ssh username@hostname

command, replacing username with a valid user name on the computer you are trying to log into, and replacing hostname with either the fully qualified host name (e.g. example.com) of your server, or it’s IP address (e.g. 192.168.83.190).

Fig. 36



29


Part 6: Installing and Configuring Apache 2 and Webmin

Administering Linux and Unix-based servers does not need to be the scourge of your work day. With a handy tool called Webmin as part of your arsenal, you can regain full control of your servers’ setup and configuration via the Web browser. Webmin is the most powerful administration tool in its nature. You can use it, for example, to setup DNS Server, but I will not go over it in detail because you will learn more about it in the coming modules. It is not difficult to use Webmin because it is web based, in any event, you should also know that you can use it remotely to administrate your network servers.

Step 1: Install Web server ("httpd") daemon

As you may recall, we didn’t install any server during the initial installation stage, however, now we do require a Webserver to be running to test our Webmin installation. 1. To install a Web server daemon ("httpd"), perform the following procedure (as root user):

# urpmi -a apache2 -y Note: switch -a will ensure that all the dependencies are installed.

5. Now check the status of httpd daemon, if stopped then start it:

Fig. 37

Step 1: Install Webmin

1. To Install Webmin and get started, drop by www.webmin.com and download the latest release. You

can use RPMs for RHE/CentOS and related systems that support binary installations or you can build Webmin from source. Webmin also supports a large number of UNIX variants, including Mac OS X.

2. You’ll be prompted to install the Webmin package as shown in Fig. 38, click on the Install button to

install it.

http://www.webmin.com/



30

Fig. 38 3. when done you’ll be prompted to login to Web via browser at URL:

http://server01:10000 4. Next, make sure that all the required services httpd & Webmin are both running (see Fig. 39).

# service httpd restart

# service httpd webmin

Fig. 39: Restarting httpd and Webmin services.

5. You may also access it via the web browser using any of the following URLs:

http://localhost:100000 or http://127.0.0.1:10000 or http://yourdomain:10000 in our case: http://server01:10000

Note: on the This Connection is Untrusted page, click I Understand the Risk link, and then click Add Exception… button. Final click Get Certificate button, followed by Confirm Security Exception button

6. Next, enter the root user name and password to authenticate into Webmin, as shown in Fig. 40.



31

Fig. 40: Login to Webmin as root user & password

Note: • For security best practices, never use "Remember login" password.

• Also note that this is run by root, but you can still give permission to other users with limited privilege to run it.

• I suggest to never give this power to any other user except to you, the administrator.

• Click on Login to enter Webmin admin page and get started, as shown in Fig. 41.

• You may also be prompted to update Webmin package.



32

Fig 41: Webmin interface. Note: after login if you want to configure Apache2, MySQL server you need to click on Servers on your left-hand side you should have many servers that are ready to be configured.

7. Next, let’s give our user "labadmin" the privilege to login to the Webmin for testing purposes. 8. Click Webmin on the left hand pane then click Webmin Users, 9. From Web Users screen, click "Create a new Webmin user", a shown in Fig. 42.

Fig 78: Click Webmin Users and then click "Create a new Webmin user"

10. Next, from Fig. 43, add the user "netadmin". Under Password, select "Unix

authentication". Under Real name, enter: "Net Admin".



33

• Next, click "Select all", to delegate the Web administration control to user "netadmin".

Fig. 43: Setting up "netadmin" with the privilege to login to the Webmin interface.

• Finally, scroll down to click on Create button, and you should see "netadmin", as one of the

Webmin users, as shown in Fig. 44 .

Fig. 44 11. Now logout and login back this time as user "netadmin" and password "xxxxxx"; as was setup

during the system installation stage.



34


Step 2: Installing MySQL Database Server

Installing MySQL database server is always necessary if you are running a database driven ecommerce site. Remember running mysql server to a fair extend requires at least 256MB of RAM in your server. So unless you are running database driven sites you don’t absolutely need MySQL. 1. Again if you didn’t pre-install the MySQL database server, then no worries - the following commands

will install mysql 5 server and mysql 5 client.

# urpmi mysql -y

Note: the configuration file of mysql is located at: /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Warning! By default there is no root password set for MySQL and it is important to set the password for the ROOT account.

2.1 Manually Creating users to use MySQL and Changing Root Password

2. By default mysql creates user as root and runs with no passport. You might need to setup the root password.

3. To setup MySQL password, run:

# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

Note: alternatively, you use the following command: mysql -u root mysql> USE mysql; mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('new-password') WHERE user='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Note: you must never use root password, so you might need to create a user to connect to mysql database for a PHP script. Alternatively you can add users to mysql database by using a control panel like Webmin or phpMyAdmin to easily create or assign database permission to users. We will install Webmin and phpmyadmin during later once we complete basic installation.

4. You can also try remote localhost login as "root" user, as follows:

# mysql -h localhost -u root -p



35

Fig. 45

1. Now let’s login and create "datactrbk" database and "netadmin" user , as follows:

# mysql -u root -p

> CREATE DATABASE datactrbk DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci; > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON datactrbk.* TO 'netadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY

'password';

> GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES ON datactrbk.* TO 'netadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

> QUIT

Note: The above also creates a backup user "netadmin" so that you can use mysqldump to make database backups without accident.

2. Now let’s test the login for "netadmin" user , as follows:

netadmin@server01:~$ mysql -u netadmin -p

Enter password:

mysql> SHOW DATABASES;

+--------------------+

| Database |

+--------------------+

| information_schema |

| mysql |

| test |

| datactrbk |

+--------------------+

2 rows in set (0.07 sec)

mysql>exit



36

BYE

netadmin@server01:~$


Step 3: Install phpMyAdmin

PhpMyAdmin is a nice web based database management and administration software and easy to install and configure under apache. Managing databases with tables couldn’t be much simpler by using phpMyAdmin. 6. You can down and install phpMyAdmin from here. When done downloading you’ll be prompted to

install it as shown in Fig. 46:

Fig. 46

Note 1: you may be prompted to install dependencies’.

Note 2: you’ll be prompted to choose the webserver phpMyAdmin you will use, as shown in Fig. 47.

Note: to manually set up under Apache all you need to do is include the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Note: the phpmyadmin configuration file is located at: /etc/phpmyadmin folder.

7. Now restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

8. Next, fire-up your browser and point it to: http://your-domain/phpmyadmin. Login with appropriate

MySQL database user with appropriate privileges, see Fig. 47.

http://your-domain/phpmyadmin



37

Fig. 47 9. You should now be logged in to your MySQL database as shown in Fig. 48.



38

Fig. 48 10. That's it! MySQL and phpMyAdmin are ready. Log in with your mysql root password and create users

to connect to database from your PHP script.

Part 7: Install Bind9 DNS Server

In this section of the hands-on labs it’s assumed that you know how to setup and configure a DNS server using Webmin and BIND DNS Server. If not, then check out excellent hands on manual entitled “Using Webmin and Bind9 to Setup Enterprise DNS Server on Linux”. 1. To install Bind9 DNS Server, run the command:

# urpmi bind 2. Now you can use Webmin to setup and configure your DNS server on your machine. 3. To do this, login to your Webmin console, and the click Servers BIND DNS Server, and scroll

down to Existing DNS Zone which should look like shown in Fig. 53

• Lick on the Create master zone link to start setup your DNS zones.

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/28184943/




39

Fig. 53

4. When done with the setup and configuration your new Existing DNS Zone should now have two

additional icons as shown in red rectangles, see Fig. 54.



40

Fig. 54

5. Scroll to top of page and click Apply Zone followed by Apply Configuration links. 6. You may have to start your DNS service if it’s not already running; you can check this as follows.

service named status

Fig. 55



41

7. If, not, then start or restart the service:

service named start 8. Now ensure that your "/etc/resolv.conf" file is configured appropriately:

Fig. 56

9. Similarly, do ensure that your "/etc/hosts" file is configured appropriately:

Fig. 57

10. You may have to restart your DNS service. 11. Now perform dig command test, as follows

# dig server01.govtestlabs.com



42

Fig. 58

12. Now perform NSLOOKUP command test, as follows

# nslookup server01.govtestlabs.com

Fig. 59 13. Now perform NSLOOKUP command test with one of our alias, as follows

# nslookup www.govtestlabs.com



43

Fig. 60 14. Finally, perform dig command test with our mail server, as follows

# dig mx mail.govtestlabs.com

Fig. 561

15. All is good to set setup mail server using Postfix or Sendmail server or any application like LDAP

which requires DNS server to in place.
