Creating Hosting Accounts
setup accounts (on dev)
- Create master domain/mail account.
- Create SSH shell accounts (create group [&_username] and THEN user [&_username] - umask 002.
Login and verify ssh and sftp connectivity to new accounts on both command line and using GUI client.
- Create mysql database [&_username] and create user account [&_username] to manage it.
Login and verify mysql connectivity.
Push to production
- rsync -av /etc/passwd /etc
- rsync -av /etc/shadow /etc
- rsync -av /etc/group /etc
(I will script this into a password push script)
- rsync -av /home/vpopmail/domains/newdomain production:/home/vpopmail/domains
- recreate mysql accounts on production like on Dev - do not try to push. Its pointless.
Login and verify push - check SSH/SFTP/MYSQL connectivity on production machine.
setup apache (on dev)
- Create directories
- /var/www/yoursite.com/htdocs
- /var/www/yoursite.com/cgi-bin
- /var/www/yoursite.com/logs
- Link /var/www/yoursite.com to ~/website/yoursite.com
- Configure apache to host new virtual host under /etc/apache2/sites-available - enable and restart apache.
setup mail (on dev)
- Install and configure Qmailadmin on this new domain
- Manually import and configure squirrelmail.
Push to Production
This will push all Apache and Mail changes over.
- rsync -av /home/[newuser] production:/home
- rsync -av /etc/apache2 production:/etc
- rsync -av /var/www/yoursite.com production:/var/www
Restart Apache and verify push
