Installing VMware tools on lenny

There is a better way installing ‘open-vm-tools’:

1. Adding ‘contrib’ and ‘non-free’ to ‘/etc/apt/sources.list’

deb http://ftp.gb.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.gb.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free



# apt-get update
# apt-get install module-assistant open-vm-source open-vm-tools
# module-assistant prepare
# module-assistant build open-vm-source
# module-assistant install open-vm-source
# reboot

Install WordPress on Debian Lenny

First, update your DNS and point blog.example.com to the server.

# aptitude install mysql-server php5 wordpress



# chown :www-data /etc/wordpress/*
# mkdir /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
# chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
# chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes


Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/blog file

ServerName blog.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/blog.example.com/

AllowOverride All
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all


Run the following commands:

# a2ensite blog
# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
# ln -s /usr/share/wordpress /var/www/blog.example.com
# cd /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples
# sh setup-mysql -n blog blog.example.com


Now, access http://blog.example.com/ to continue the configuration of wordpress.

Add multiple email addresses to plesk server

■Create a list like below.

# vi list
01@example.com,test123
02@example.com,test123
03@example.com,test123
04@example.com,test123
05@example.com,test123
06@example.com,test123
07@example.com,test123
08@example.com,test123
09@example.com,test123
10@example.com,test123

■Create mail add script in the server.

# vi mailadd.sh
#!/bin/bash

for x in `cat list`;
do
MAIL=`echo $x | cut -d , -f 1`
PASS=`echo $x | cut -d , -f 2`
/usr/local/psa/bin/mail -c $MAIL -passwd $PASS -mailbox true
done

■Check the list of email id and password.

# vi mailchk.sh
#!/bin/bash


for x in `cat list`;
do
MAIL=`echo $x | cut -d , -f 1`
PASS=`echo $x | cut -d , -f 2`

expect -c "
set timeout 60
spawn telnet 0 110
expect \"+OK\" ; send \"USER $MAIL\r\"
expect \"+OK\" ; send \"PASS $PASS\r\"
expect \"+OK\" ; send \"QUIT\r\"
expect \"+OK\" ; send \"QUIT\r\"
"
done

If everything is ok run mailadd.sh . This is the very simple way to add more email id and password at once in Plesk server.
