CentOS 5: Installing XAMPP, and Gallery2

1. Install CentOS 5

– Do not install MySQL, Apache, and FTP

– edit /etc/resolv.conf to point nameserver to 192.168.1.254 (your webserver IP)

– disable auditd to prevent system crashes!

 

2. Install XAMPP

–

cd /

tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.2.tar.gz -C /opt

/opt/lampp/lampp start

 

3. Activate eAccelerator

– Edit /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini at “eAccelerator” lines grouping

– Remove the “;” at the beginning of each line and restart XAMPP

 

4. Install “j2sdk-1_4_2_14- linux-i586.bin” for Java support

– Download from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/archive/; place inside /opt/lampp

– Change permission of “j2sdk-1_4_2_14- linux-i586.bin”

cp j2sdk-1_4_2_14-linux-i586.bin /opt/lampp

cd /opt/lampp

./j2sdk-1_4_2_14-linux-i586.bin

ln -s j2sdk1.4.2_14 java

 

5. Install “xampp_tomcat-5.0.27-addon-0.3.tar.gz” for Java server

—————————————————————————————-

Optional: Install PHP-GD (optional if you want base CentOS default Apache – not installing XAMPP)

– Shell prompt # yum list *gd*

– Shell prompt # yum install php-gd.x86_64

– enter “yes” to download package

– Shell prompt # service httpd restart

———————————————————————————-

Step 1: Creating the backup

Create the backup by calling:

 

/opt/lampp/lampp backup

or

/opt/lampp/lampp backup secret

 

Where secret is your MySQL root password.

 

Step 2: Take care of your backuped data

The file /opt/lampp/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh (in the example above) contains your backuped data. Get this file to a save place.

Step 3: Restore your backuped data

On the new machine you need the same version of XAMPP as on your original/source machine.

 

Call (as root):

 

sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh

 

You shoud see something like this:

 

# sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh

Checking integrity of files…

Restoring configuration, log and htdocs files…

Checking versions…

Installed: XAMPP 1.4.2

Backup from: XAMPP 1.4.2

Restoring MySQL databases…

Restoring MySQL user databases…

Backup complete. Have fun!

You may need to restart XAMPP to complete the restore.

To uninstall XAMPP just type in this command:

 

rm -rf /opt/lampp

 

——————————————————–

 

To kill bad processes

ps aux | grep httpd (to filter processes matching httpd)

kill -15 httpd (-9 is forceful)

IPTABLES

 

iptables -I INPUT -s 124.240.120.99 -j DROP

iptables -L -n

 

# to delete rule

iptables -D INPUT -s x.x.x.x -j DROP

# check iptables -L -n

 

—————————————————

# Reboot server every other day of every month

crontab

0 3 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29 * * /sbin/shutdown -r

# Control + D

 

 – Shell prompt # yum list *gd*

– Shell prompt # yum install php-gd.x86_64

– enter “yes” to download package

– Shell prompt # service httpd restart

Optional: install ImageMagick (for Gallery2)

yum list *imagemagick*

yum install ImageMagick.x86_64

yum list *ffmpeg*

yum install ffmpeg

 

Optional: install dcraw and gd (for Gallery2)

yum install dcraw.x86_64

yum install gd.x86_64

 

Optional: get a pre-compiled ffmpeg

cd /opt/lampp/bin

wget https://bogdan.org.ua:443/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/ffmpeg

chmod 755 /opt/lampp/bin/ffmpeg

 

Change ownership of all files in htdocs to nobody

chown -R nobody /opt/lampp/htdocs

Installing XAMPP

cd /opt/lampp/

wget

su

tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.7.tar.gz -C /opt

/opt/lampp/lampp php5

/opt/lampp/lampp security

/opt/lampp/lampp start

 

Activate e-accelerator:

vi /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini

—————————————

;extension=”eaccelerator.so”

;eaccelerator.shm_size=”16″

;eaccelerator.cache_dir=”/opt/lampp/tmp/eaccelerator”

;eaccelerator.enable=”1″

;eaccelerator.optimizer=”1″

;eaccelerator.check_mtime=”1″

;eaccelerator.debug=”0″

;eaccelerator.filter=””

;eaccelerator.shm_max=”0″

;eaccelerator.shm_ttl=”0″

;eaccelerator.shm_prune_period=”0″

;eaccelerator.shm_only=”0″

;eaccelerator.compress=”1″

;eaccelerator.compress_level=”9″

——————————————

Remove the semicolon at the beginning of each line and restart XAMPP. eAccelerator is now active. For more information about eAccelerator, check the eAccelerator home page:

 

SECURITY:

 

When FTP is not in use, disable it to close this insecure protocol:

/opt/lampp/lampp stopftp

XAMPP does not provide a direct script to modify Apache’s httpd.conf to make the change so you’ll have to dig into the file directly yourself. The change is made in the ServerToken section of httpd.conf. XAMPP by default has it set at “Full” which send all the version information about Apache and the various compiled modules. Change the entry to “Prod” which offer the least level of detail and will only reveal that Apache (not the version is running).

So instead of having your server report-“Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/5.0.4 DAV/2 mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6 Server at hostname/ Port “–which is a veritable buffet for a hacker you simply get “Apache Server at hostname/ Port” which makes target enumeration significantly more difficult.

 

 

Create the backup by calling:

Where secret is your MySQL root password.

 

 

The file /opt/lampp/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh (in the example above) contains your backuped data. Get this file to a save place.

On the new machine you need the same version of XAMPP as on your original/source machine.

Call (as root):

sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh

 

That’s all. As you can read you may need to restart XAMPP.

 

————————————————————————————————————–

To uninstall XAMPP just type in this command:

rm -rf /opt/lampp
