Linux Format has again graciously provided us with an entry in there Magazine but again they did get a few things wrong apparently we meet in a pub and the website given was http://soslug.org the full pdf article can be viewed from the attachment below.

Web Server & Software

Introduction. So now the server is built and RAID5 configured. http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/raid_5 I'm slowly beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. All I have to do now, is select the server software and that's it; or is it?

This project has seen its fair share of setbacks; smoke pouring out - frightening; a failed brand new hard drive - frustrating, to name but two! Surely now, all I had to do to complete the project would be completed in an hour or so, with time for a little self congratulation on a job well done.

Introduction.

This page assumes you have either built your server from my previous page, http://wiki.soslug.org/wiki/debian_web_server or have sufficient knowledge to do so. It also concentrates on why I chose RAID 5 and in particular, how RAID 5 is set-up on the Adaptec 2410SA card.

How to build a Debian web server for home use

.

Introduction

The purpose of this wiki contribution is to describe how to build and configure a web server, to operate from your home. Later on, I hope to expand it into a file server and possibly a mail server.

It will provide detailed building instructions as well as some insights as to why I chose to complete it in the way I did.

Proposed SoSLUG Projects for 26th September 2009

Chalkwell Park Village Green Event

Introduction

SoSLUG has been communicating with for the last couple of week's now some Musicians with a view to adoption of a project that we could use for this year's Village Green @ Chalkwell Park 26th September 2009 event. Last year we choose pigeon's which was very successful in achieving it's design specification's and goals, this proved to be a delight to all and very interesting for young and old alike.

"This email request comes from a student of Graham Harwood of Goldsmith University London this is a letter I received earlier today not just to me but all of us really. Jean Demars is a trusted and valued student of Grahams if you can help him in anyway with this project or projects it will be much appreciated by all"

Hello Derek,

I am a student of Harwood at Goldsmiths and we met a few times between Southend and London. I sent you a flyer for the project I am developing a little while ago [http://www.freemob.eu].

Well I have my mail server up and running. I have found this Howto on setting up a mail server which can host multiple domains. http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch Rather than reinvent the wheel I have been following it. I have also been using a book called "The book of postfix" by Ralf Hidebrandt and Patrick Koetter, published by No Starch Press.

This is a project to build a mail server. I will be using these pages to document my design as I go along. Hopefully it will end up as a Howto and also perhaps a tutorial on Linux and e-mail. Although I am building this project for myself, I would like it to become a group project. Anyone suggesting improvements or pointing out errors or omissions will be welcome. There are many resources available to help in this project, I will be using as many as I can and will be acknowledging and, hopefully, building on them.
