Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Debian Squeeze (LAMP)
=======================================================================

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Debian Squeeze server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.

Nagios Installation On Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
================================================

This tutorial shows how to set up Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.4) server with the Nagios Monitoring System. Nagios is a powerful, highly configurable monitoring and alarming system, which can monitor a wide variety of systems (network, server, daemons, applications). Monitoring could be done for instance for availability or utilization. The monitoring could be restricted to services which are connectable from the outside (e.g. a webserver on port 80/tcp), or with the help of NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) plugins for testing could also be executed remote. We will be installing Nagios, Nagios Plugins, and Postfix with this tutorial. Postfix will be configured to send email via your alternate email server. This tutorial will only give you the basic configuration with Postfix, any additional settings can be found in multiple places on the Internet.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On CentOS 5.5 (LAMP)
===================================================================

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a CentOS 5.5 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.

How To Install Railo 3.2 Under OpenSUSE 11.3 Running Apache2 Tomcat 6 Virtual Host
==================================================================================

Railo Server 3.2 Final (3.2.1.000) has been released. As you know Railo is an Open Source ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) engine. It is free and pretty fast. For the new 3.2 version railo stops running resin, but tomcat as the default web server. Instead of compiling apache2 with tomcat 6 by yourself, the railo team had created the default installation script which helps you set up railo on tomcat6 and using apache2 to connect to tomcat via mod_jk. Instead of using tomcat default webapps directory, we will modify the server.xml file and DocumentRoot will point back to default apache DocumentRoot directory defined under the virtual host configuration file.

Installation Of PlaySMS And SMS Server Tools 3 On Debian Server
===============================================================

This tutorial will show you how you can set up an SMS server on Debian with playsms and smstools. In my example I have used an old Nokia 5140i with a USB datacable.

How To Compile Coloured rTorrent From SVN In Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat / Debian 6 Squeeze With ruTorrent
============================================================================================================

rTorrent is a popular command line based bittorrent client. It provides very powerful features yet it is very light on the system - contrary to other bittorrent clients like Vuze. There are a couple of webinterfaces for it but they are not truly need. SSH access combined with the "screen" program provide you all the tools you need. In addition to the previous compilation guides of rTorrent, this one will also feature ruTorrent on a force Apache SSL connection with password protection.
