The system is a K6-2/450 with 64 megs RAM, and 4 gigs of HD space. I have done a fresh install of Corel Linux, and would like some help setting it up as a web/ftp/e-mail server. :)

I really no nothing about Linux, but so far, I have figured enough out to do some minor things in the OS. If you could give me some step by step instructions on how I could go about turning this system into the one that I want it to be, it would be greatly appreciated.

--The first thing I would like to know how to do is: How do I change the layout of my keyboard from QWERTY to DVORAK? I have gone into keyboard settings, and removed the English/Qwerty settings, and chaged them to the ones that I want, rebooted, and still I'm left typing in QWERTY. :(

Yah, I know what my IP is, what I need to know how to do is actually set things up. Where do I put my html files, how do I set up support for CGI, and ASP (support is available with the new apache version). How do i set up e-mail accounts (e-mail server - POP/STMP). What about FTP? Where and how do I set permissons?

Ok... start here:

Go into /etc/httpd ( i think... this is redhat iam talking about but it should work).

Once in read every single config file using /etc/httpd. The config files for apache are very well commented. You should have no problems figuring out the simple stuff. They have examples in there ready.

After making changes (remember to backup the files before changing) you can restart apache and load the new settings by running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart".

Now as for sendmail and pop.. sendmail is a bit of a pain for a good reason. Your sendmail will not recive mail well unless you have a static ip. For good reasons. Also some isp will not recive mail from a ip only address (rare). For your first use of sendmail writing a custom sendmail config is pretty darn impossible if not totally demoralizing. So look around corel's documentation to see if they provide a system administration tool. In redhat it's call "linuxconf".

Pop servers for linux tends to be qpopper. This should be installed or a equivalent is installed already. See if this works by doing this on the linux box "telnet localhost 110" if it connects and it says something about pop then it's working. Cool eh? If not than you better go find out if a pop server is installed about how to activate it. Sorry i can't tell you much about corel.

Ftp's config files are in /etc as you might have guessed now.
Now the file is call ftpaccess. Again commented although no as well as the apache stuff. however you better go look at http://www.linuxdoc.org for instructions. The full sets of stuff would be quite a task to retype.

Thank you very much for that information, it should help me out quite a bit. I've got to go to work in 20 minutes, and its Canada day, so I'll be partying tonight, so I'll probably try this out tomorrow. I'll post in here if I find any problems.

:D Thanks again!

Corel uses Debian, so it is quite different than any RedHat clones. Try the newsgroups at linux.corel.com and info at debian.org.

eh?

:) Just had the most fuc*ing awesome party at my house. Damn good stuff. DAMN good.

Now if only my girlfriend would call from Europe (she was supposed to call at 1 PST, and its 1:30), then I could go to bed...

--Maybe I shouldn't be posting now, cause i'm still semi-drunk. Oh well, I'll probably just edit this in the morning anyway.
