This problem stumpt me for a while. I run a TeamSpeak damon on my VPS linux box. The issue with this application, is they do not create startup script in the /etc/init.d folder.
There are many TeamSpeak startup scripts but the following seems to work best for me.
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
/etc/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh start
;;
stop)
/etc/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh stop
;;
status)
/etc/teamspeak3/ts3server_startscript.sh status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop|status}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Now that the bash script has been created in the /ete/init.d directory we can now use “service teamspeak3 start” to start the damon but every time the server restarts we have to run this manually. We need to add Teamspeak to the system start up. The following command will add this.
update-rc.d teamspeak3 defaults
That is it. Next time your server reboots Teamspeak will start.
In the next few weeks, I am required to use one of my most scariest server products I have used. IIS. I use to manage a small network that used IIS for hosting internal mail interface and other web based products our company used. Back then, we were running IIS6 on Server 2003 R2, and what a scary machine that was. IIS6 wasn’t very intuitive compared to other Microsoft server products at that time. When you needed to add a site or add a CGI extension, it always felt you had to hack it to get something to work and you never went back to it after it was working.
I was required to install it for a programming class and what a change. For someone that never had proper training on IIS, the new interface has defiantly been improved and is now very intuitive.
To install IIS7 was open Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> “Turn Windows feature on or off”. I checked the “Internet Information Service” in the list and that was it. Windows installed the service without needing the disks.
It was that easy to get the new web server up and running on my local development machine.
I remember spending hours in the server room trying to get PHP installed on the old IIS6 machine we were running. I thought, I wonder how easy it will be on IIS7? Turns out very easy! Microsoft now has an installation you can download that installs PHP 5.3.13 into your IIS.
A few things need to be done first. Make sure you have installed CGI. Windows does not do this by default.
IIS is now ready for the PHP installation. Go to php.iis.net to download the executable. Once you have it download, run it and follow the on screen instruction.
That is it! You have now installed PHP on your IIS server. Create a phpinfo() file on the root of your web-server to make sure everything is working.
If you run into the error “Handler “PHP53_via_FastCGI” has a bad module “FastCgiModule” in its module list” it means CGI is not installed. Go back into Windows Features and check “CGI”.
Installing NetBeans is simple in Ubuntu, but Xubuntu doesn’t seem to have the package in its repositories. The following will guide you through the install.
First thing needed is Java. You can install the openJDK or the sunJDK.
For openJDK
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
For Sun JDK
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Next we need to download the NetBeans installer. Navigate to NetBeans.org and download the version you require.
After the download has completed run the following to begin the install.
Most Linux distribution include auto mounting for different file system types. Specific distributions, you need to mound some file systems your self. The following commands will allow you to mount different file system types.
To list all partitions attached to the system, use the following commands.
fdisk -l
First thing, create a mount point for this new file system.
mkdir /media/drive
You can create this folder anywhere on the system. Most distributions mount all drives to /media.
