NOTE: So vault and mirror, mirror each other daily.
Early Steps
- Installed the Slackware 13.0 x64 DVD on the drive using the same partition scheme as before (making var twice as bit)
- Disabled sendmail so we won't get clobbered.
- Installed slap-get
- –update and –upgrade
- kernel was: Linux archon 2.6.29.6 #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 11:58:18 CDT 2009 x86_64 AMD Opteron™ Processor 240 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
- lilo
- reboot
- kernel is: Linux archon 2.6.29.6 #3 SMP Mon Dec 7 15:01:06 CST 2009 x86_64 AMD Opteron™ Processor 240 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Hard Drive Mirror
- Mounted the old drive in /mnt/old/ with /home, /nofadz, /root, and /var
- rsync'd each directory to their new homes.
- The /root and /var were put in /var/local
- /usr/local/archon is a symlink to /var/local
Configuration
Backups
Cron Jobs
Daemons
Apache
- Changed ServerAdmin directive
- Enabled the following line at the bottom of httpd.conf:
# Virtual hosts Include /etc/httpd/extra/archon-httpd-vhosts.conf
Moving Websites
- Copying everything to the new httpd directory.
rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/hosted/ /var/www/htdocs/hosted/ rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/locals/ /var/www/htdocs/locals/ rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/secure/ /var/www/htdocs/secure/
- Add our common log file definition so we don't have to comment that out of all the virtual host definitions.
Gallery Software
- http://coppermine-gallery.net/ Coppermine Gallery looks to be a good software set for putting up images.
mysql
- Should have exported the entire data base first. I'll boot it on another machine and do it to a memory stick.
Sendmail
I always wanted to set up authentication so I can SEND via sendmail from my local account. Here is the link on how to do that:
Hardware
Hard Drive
Nope, the new drive is a PATA (Old standard IDE drive) because I already used my SATA slots for other drives in this Opteron original machine. It is really time for a new machine, but not yet…
New primary drive is a Western Digital 640GB (with 32MB cache) SATA-2- MDL: WD6401AALS-00L3B2
- Model: WD6401AALS
- Serial: WCASY7500179
