| How can I install OpenEMM on Debian? | |||||||
"Basically I used the file INSTALL.pdf, so I will point to the commands that differ from the manual. 1.1 > apt-get update 1.2 > apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 sendmail-cf python-mysqldb It won't work with mysql-4.0 2. Java, nothing Debian specific here. I used 'jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.bin' as it is the latest version. Every command listed in the manual worked on Debian. 3. If no firewall is used, this part can be skipped, otherwise the user should be experienced enough to manage it and activate it on start up. So here are the basic commands which will get you started. ------------ iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT ------------ 4. DNS, nothing Debian specific here. Basically you try to set up an MX record for the domain bounce.somecompany.com which points to www.somecompany.com which itself should point to an IP address or is a CNAME. 5. Sendmail. This is my weak spot, as I never worked with it before and I'm still trying to manage the monster. To be honest I currently have no mail boxes on the system, so I can't say if the bounce feature works 100%, but I know that the bounce management works for emails that are rejected by the foreign email server during the smtp session, so it should work with bounce emails as well. ------------ DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl changed to DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp')dnl ------------ The rest stays the same as the Red Hat instructions. 6. Suse instructions work for Debian as well. 6.1 Check /etc/syslog.conf and change the path for the mail log from /var/log/mail.log to /var/log/maillog Open /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd ------------- savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 $LOG >/dev/null change to savelog -g adm -m 644 -u root -c 4 $LOG >/dev/null ------------- Change permission for maillog > chmod 644 /var/log/maillog 6.2 Red Hat instructions work for Debian. 6.3 Instructions work for Debian. 7. Didn't used it as of now, but instructions should work for Debian, except the RPM part ;) 8. Put the following in your firewall script ---------------- iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth+ --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 ---------------- " End of minichip´s guide.
