Check that apache is working and start it if needed:
bash# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd bash# /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 httpd on bash# /sbin/service httpd status bash# /sbin/service httpd start
Samba is used to share the DocumentRoot of the web server, so that everybody in the local network can update the content of the web pages from their windows machines.
First backup the original samba config file, /etc/samba/smb.conf, because it has some useful comments:
bash# cd /etc/samba/ bash# mv smb.conf smb.conf.bak
Then create a new config file, with a content like this:
bash# vi smb.conf
[global] workgroup = ORGNAME server string = Web Server hosts allow = 10.10.3. 192.168. 127. guest account = samba log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 [www] path = /var/www/html public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no
Create the user samba and set permissions to /var/www/html so that the user samba can read and write it:
bash# /usr/sbin/useradd samba bash# chgrp samba /var/www/html bash# chmod 775 /var/www/html
Start the samba service:
bash# /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 smb on bash# /sbin/service smb start
Don't forget that the samba ports should be accepted in firewall:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
Insert these commands to some configuration scripts, instead of running them manually time after time (our firewall scripts already take care of this).
Check that the samba is working:
bash$ smbclient --help bash$ smbclient -L 10.10.3.100 bash$ smbclient //10.10.3.100/www Password: smb: \> ls smb: \> help
