Step 1: Install the LAMP server and also phpmyadmin
See my blogpost "Installation of LAMP on Debian"
#aptitude install phpmyadmin
Step 2: Download Lattest version of Joomla e.g
dwonload from following location
http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Joomla-Download-5739.html
Step 3: make directory under /var/www/joomla and decompress joomla
mkdir /var/www/joomla
cd /var/www/joomla
tar -xvf var/www/Joomla_1.5.6-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
Step 4: Create Database in MySQL
#mysqladmin -u root -p create Joomla
mysql -u root -p
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Joomla.* TO Joomla@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Joomla';
mysql>flush privileges;
mysql>quit
Step 5: Change ownership and priviliges of /var/www/joomla
chown www-data.www-data /var/www/joomla
chmod 777 /var/www/joomla
Notw: Rechange this mode to normal after installation.
Step 6: Begin installattion
http://192.168.100.10/joomla
This will start the wizard, answer the questions, in check list try to eliminate missing components (in red color) and also remember following;
Database Name:Joomla
Database User:Joomla
Password:Joomla
Admin passowrd: you will enter at the end.
At the end this will ask to remove the installation directory.

How to copy files/directory in Debian using rsync and scp over network
1) Network copying using rsync
Step 1: Install rsync on both machines
aptitude install rsync
Step 2: Edit of /etc/default/rsync on both machines
RSYNC_ENABLE=false
to
RSYNC_ENABLE=true
Step 3: Restart rsync on both machines
/etc/init.d/rsync restart
Step 4: Start copy from machine1 to machine2
rsync -e ssh -avz /home/imran 192.168.100.10:/media/usbdisk/imran
options
a: archive mode perserver file permission
v: verbose
z: compress (this will reduce time)
This will prompt for password, enter password, you will see
building file list..
Backup using Rsync
Make script and place it under /etc/cron.daily.
Generate and copy the key
ssh-keygen -t dsa,
and press Enter when prompted for a passphrase. After the key is created, use
ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub root@remote.host.com
to copy the public key to the remote host.
(Note: this presume that SSH is installed with key transfer)
2) Network copying using scp
scp -Cr /home/imran 192.168.100.10:/media/usbdisk
r:recursvly copying
C:exncrytpion 3DES default.
Don't use this method if directory contails too many files.

ENABLE AUTHENTICATION ON DEBIAN APACHE WEB SERVER
Step by Step Guide;
Step 1 Enable Digest Authentication
This authentication does not supported by default
#a2enmod auth_digest
Step 2 Set up user/password/realm
htdigest -c /var/www/munin/.htpasswd munin username
munin is realm and username is username.
supply "username" user password,
Step 3 Making Authentication required
go back to /etc/apache2/sites-available/monitoring.
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
#authentification
AuthType Digest
AuthName "munin"
AuthDigestFile /var/www/munin/.htpasswd
#people using apache 2.2 will use instead:
#AuthUserFile /var/www/munin/.htpasswd
require valid-user
Step 4 Reload apache configuration
#apache2ctl -t
Syntax OK
$/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Step 5 Tesing and Running
Now, go to http://monitoring.example.com with your browser. A box should prompt you for a username and password. Supply the one you define above and you should be given access to munin statistics.

MEASURING TEMPERATURE USING SMARTMONTOOLS
1.#apt-get install smartmontools
which is apparently needed by munin's hddtemp_smartctl plugin ;
2. and ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/hddtemp_smartctl /etc/munin/plugins/hddtemp_smartctl
.. which 'activates' the plugin ;
3. and /etc/init.d/munin-node restart to apply these changes.

Mounting External USB Disk on Debian
After plugin USB, see any activity
tail -f /var/log/syslog
if nothing about usb mass storage, check reasons. If "no loadable modules!", your old Kernel does not support USB, you might need to upgrade it (depending upon hardware of machine) in my case it was the Via CPU which is not a
full-blown 686.
Then install the new kernel
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-4-486
After that config the lilo or grub in our case it was lilo:
edit /etc/lilo.conf
default=2.6.18
Then restart the machine.
check activity and see syslog (see up command)

This means that the device was inserted into the kernel as /dev/sda.
From the bottom of the log, you see that the device has four partitions.
(sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4) If you don't know what filesystems they
contain, you can make mount autodetect by:
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/media
When you finish your work, unmount this can corrupt the file system.
umont /mnt/media

Squirrelmail Web Client Installatin and Configuration on Debian
Following things are involved.
We are already running EXIM4, as our mail mail server on a different machine and network with folloing IMAP and SMTP
Imap.domain.com
Smtp.domain.com
No need to install it from scracth.
INSTALLATION OF PACKAGES:
A) Web server Apache with ssl support
Install apache2: apt-get install apach2
install ssl certificate: apt-get install ssl-cert
generate certificate: openssl req $@ -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/apache2/apache.pem -keyout /etc/apache2/apache.pem
country name: NO
state name: Oslo
locality name: Oslo
organizaion name: yourcompany
organizatinal unit: IT
common name: webmail
email addres: youremail@yourdomain.com
B) PHP4 (php5 has some problems)
PHP4 Installation: apt-get install php4
C) UW IMAP
Installation of uw-imapd: apt-get install uw-imapd
D) Squirrelmail
Squirrelmail Installation: apt-get install squirelmail
you can also download from this location and install,
http://www.squirrelmail.org/download.php
CONFIGURATION:
Apache WebServer
chmod 600 /etc/apache2/apache.pem
Enabling SSL Support
a2enmod ssl
Module ssl installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.
Configuring SSL support
Edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Listen 443
Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf
NameVirtualHost *:443
ServerAdmin webmaster@owera.com
ServerName webmail.owera.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/apache.pem
DocumentRoot /var/squirrelmail/www/
.
.
Restart apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Squirrelmail configuration
After downloading, create directory and unpack
mkdir /var/squirrelmail
cd /var/squirrelmail
mkdir data attachment www
chown -R www-data.www-data /ver/squirrelmail/
chgrp www-data data attachment
chmod 0730 data attachment
tar --bzip2 -xvf /usr/local/src/downloads/squirrelmail-1.4.5.tar.bz2
mv squirrelmail-1.4.5 www
cd www/config
cp -p config_default.php config.php
Edit config.php
Change this to your organization's name.
$org_name = 'YOUR_ORGANIZATION';
Change this to the title you would like shown on the SquirrelMail web page.
$org_title = 'YOUR_TITLE $version';
Change this to the mail domain that is being served by SquirrelMail.
$domain = 'YOUR_MAIL_DOMAIN.com';
Define your SMTP server. This is the name of the server running the Postfix MTA for your mail domain. If Postfix is running on the same server as SquirrelMail then this would be 'localhost'. If it is another server then enter 'SERVERNAME.com'.
$smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';
Define your IMAP server. We always have SquirrelMail running on the same server as IMAP so this will always be 'localhost'.
