Original hard drive partitioning scheme.

NOTE: So vault and mirror, mirror each other daily.

1. Installed the Slackware 13.0 x64 DVD on the drive using the same partition scheme as before (making var twice as bit)
2. Disabled sendmail so we won't get clobbered.
3. Installed slap-get
   1. Make SOURCE=http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.0/:PREFERRED
   2. –update and –upgrade
   3. 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
   4. lilo
   5. reboot
   6. 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

1. Mounted the old drive in /mnt/old/ with /home, /nofadz, /root, and /var
2. rsync'd each directory to their new homes.
   1. The /root and /var were put in /var/local
   2. /usr/local/archon is a symlink to /var/local

1. Changed ServerAdmin directive
2. Enabled the following line at the bottom of httpd.conf:

   # Virtual hosts
   Include /etc/httpd/extra/archon-httpd-vhosts.conf

1. 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/

2. Add our common log file definition so we don't have to comment that out of all the virtual host definitions.

• http://coppermine-gallery.net/ Coppermine Gallery looks to be a good software set for putting up images.

1. Make a backup of the current wiki

   mkdir ~/public_html/wikibackups/20110612
   rsync -vaP ~/public_html/wiki/ ~/public_html/wikibackups/20110612/

2. Download the latest version

   cd ~/down/dokuwiki/

3. Uncompress the latest version right on top of the current one

   cd ~/public_html/wiki
   tar -xzvf ~/down/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-xxxx-xx-xx.tgz --strip-components=1

4. Remove the “install” page

   rm ~/public_html/wiki/install.php

5. Touch the local configuration (which invalidates your cache)

   touch ~/public_html/wiki/conf/local.php

1. Should have exported the entire data base first. I'll boot it on another machine and do it to a memory stick.

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:

• http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/sendmail-smtp-auth-howto-224543/

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…

• Primary (/dev/hda) hard drive is a Best Buy from Baltimore:
  • WDC WD3200AAJB-00J3A0, ATA DISK drive

• New primary drive is a Western Digital 640GB (with 32MB cache) SATA-2

In order for the Never Winter Server (and any other 32 bit software) to run on this new machine, I had to follow the steps in this article: http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=slackware:multilib

Following the instructions, I went ahead and did the following:

1. Download the multilib libraries:

   wget --mirror http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/13.0/

2. Install these packages:

   upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z

3. Downloaded the ISO of 32bit Slackware 13.0 and mounted the image as a looped image:

   mount -o loop /home/david/temp-dvd/slackware-13.0-install-dvd.iso /mnt/tmp

4. Create the compatbility libraries using the massconvert32.sh script: (I did this in /home/compat32)

   massconvert32.sh -i /mnt/tmp/slackware/

5. Install these new libraries:

   installpkg *-compat32/*.t?z
