Installing and Configuring openDKIM on Debian
This guide will show you how to install and configure openDKIM on a Debian Squeeze VPS. DKIM is a signature/cryptography email authentication technology used to validate that a message was sent by an authorized source. DKIM allows an organization to take responsibility for transmitting a message, in a way that can be verified by a recipient. More information can be found at the official DKIM web site.
Today we are going to show you how to setup JAVA, JBoss AS and an Apache server acting as a reverse proxy using one of our Debian Virtual Servers. We assume you have a working Apache server in place.
So, what is JBoss ?
JBoss is an open-source application server developed by RedHat based on the J2EE platform for developing and deploying enterprise Java applications, Web applications, Services, Portals and more. The J2EE allows applications to be standardized and modular allowing JAVA to handle many programming aspects when developing an application.
What is DenyHosts?
It is a python script intended to be run by GNU/Linux system administrators and users to help thwart SSH server attacks which are also known as dictionary based attacks and brute force attacks. It has the ability to run as a daemon and it can automatically block attackers and prevent them from gaining access to your server.
We’ll show you how to create an Nginx Virtual Host, also known as an Nginx Server Block. In one of our previous tutorials we explained How to install and configure LNMP (Nginx, MySQL and PHP) server on a Debian 6 (squeeze) VPS, now we’re going to look at how to set up a new server block (virtual host) for each new domain.
Nginx is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server which unlike his ‘friends’, it does not rely on threaded handling of the requests but instead it uses a much more scalable event driven (asynchronous) architecture. This uses a very small and predictable amount of memory under heavy load. Nginx in combination with the simple and very robust FastCGI Process Manager for PHP (PHP-FPM) and the world most popular database server MySQL can give you a lot of power and performance while still using a small memory footprint.
The following article looks at how to install and configure this stack on one of our Debian based VPSes.
We will show you, how to reset MySQL root password. If you assigned a root password previously but have forgotten it, you can assign a new password. Resetting the root password of MySQL server, is fairly easy task, and it can be accomplished in less than 10 minutes.
Linux VPS hosting has become very popular among businesses, programmers and developers nowadays, mainly due to its many advantages in terms of cost effectiveness, flexibility, better performance, security, stability, reliability and functionality of course. As an operating system GNU/Linux became the world’s most dominant hosting solution for Internet hosting businesses mainly because of the many benefits you’ll get by using it on your servers.
So, why is a Linux based VPS better choice than a Windows based VPS?
