How To Build A Lamp Server

This book deals with the tasks of installing, configuring and using a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack for the purposes of serving a custom web application. This book consists of two volumes. Volume One details the installation of the Red Hat 6 Operating System and configuration choices involved there, the Apache, MySQL and PHP installation and configuration plus the installation of the phpMyAdmin application to help manage the MySQL database. At every stage, the author's real-world experience guides you with Reliability, Availability and Serviceability advice to help you choose the most manageable and secure configuration for your needs. Volume Two walks through the design and writing of a LAMP-driven "wishlist" application for the web using the MySQL database for storage. MySQL and PHP development are covered in this practical application; all source code is available for download.

You could think of Setting Up LAMP as four books in one, but it's actually something much more valuable: a single volume that presents the open-source technologies known collectively as LAMP—Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP—as tightly dovetailed components of today's most affordable and effective platform for building dynamic web-based applications. Each technology has uses outside of this context, of course, but within it they form something greater than the sum of their parts. This book shows you how to take full advantage of this power, walking you through all the steps required to lay your Linux foundation, install and configure your Apache web server, and then begin using PHP to access content stored in MySQL. Here are a few of the specific topics you'll find covered inside: Installing and configuring qmail with support for IMAP, POP3, SMTP, virtual domains, spam filtering, and antivirus Managing system users and groups Configuring your network Creating a custom firewall script using IP tables Recognizing when a system is in distress Handling MySQL database replication Configuring virtual domains Writing a basic PHP script that integrates with MySQL If you're new to all of this, you'll quickly get to where you need to be to start developing and deploying the higher-level pieces of your web application. Even if you have experience with one or all of these technologies, this book—including its quick-start installation appendix—is a resource you'll want close by whenever you're setting up or fine-tuning your LAMP system.

Get acquainted with GCP and manage robust, highly available, and dynamic solutions to drive business objective Key Features Identify the strengths, weaknesses and ideal use-cases for individual services offered on the Google Cloud Platform Make intelligent choices about which cloud technology works best for your use-case Leverage Google Cloud Platform to analyze and optimize technical and business processes Book Description Using a public cloud platform was considered risky a decade ago, and unconventional even just a few years ago. Today, however, use of the public cloud is completely mainstream - the norm, rather than the exception. Several leading technology firms, including Google, have built sophisticated cloud platforms, and are locked in a fierce competition for market share. The main goal of this book is to enable you to get the best out of the GCP, and to use it with confidence and competence. You will learn why cloud architectures take the forms that they do, and this will help you become a skilled high-level cloud architect. You will also learn how individual cloud services are configured and used, so that you are never intimidated at having to build it yourself. You will also learn the right way and the right situation in which to use the important GCP services. By the end of this book, you will be able to make the most out of Google Cloud Platform design. What you will learn Set up GCP account and utilize GCP services using the cloud shell, web console, and client APIs Harness the power of App Engine, Compute Engine, Containers on the Kubernetes Engine, and Cloud Functions Pick the right managed service for your data needs, choosing intelligently between Datastore, BigTable, and BigQuery Migrate existing Hadoop, Spark, and Pig workloads with minimal disruption to your existing data infrastructure, by using Dataproc intelligently Derive insights about the health, performance, and availability of cloud-powered applications with the help of monitoring, logging, and diagnostic tools in Stackdriver Who this book is for If you are a Cloud architect who is responsible to design and manage robust cloud solutions with Google Cloud Platform, then this book is for you. System engineers and Enterprise architects will also find this book useful. A basic understanding of distributed applications would be helpful, although not strictly necessary. Some working experience on other public cloud platforms would help too.

The authors provide the most useful, practical information on a broad range of open source technologies. This practical guide presents a survey of LAMP technologies, and shows how these solutions can be implemented securely while improving reliability and cutting costs. The book focuses on the most important core material necessary for the developer to hit the ground running and begin building applications right away.

Death Of A Sanitation Engineer Imagine a time in the distant future where France is nothing more than a parking lot. Andy Wilson embarked on a space station to visit new worlds, meet aliens, and mainly to party. Assigned to sanitation duties out in deep space could drive anyone crazy. Especially when your leader is an egg and war is brewing...

Network Performance Security: Testing and Analyzing Using Open Source and Low-Cost Tools gives mid-level IT engineers the practical tips and tricks they need to use the best open source or low cost tools available to harden their IT infrastructure. The book details how to use the tools and how to interpret them. Network Performance Security: Testing and Analyzing Using Open Source and Low-Cost Tools begins with an overview of best practices for testing security and performance across devices and the network. It then shows how to document assets—such as servers, switches, hypervisor hosts, routers, and firewalls—using publicly available tools for network inventory. The book explores security zoning the network, with an emphasis on isolated entry points for various classes of access. It shows how to use open source tools to test network configurations for malware attacks, DDoS, botnet, rootkit and worm attacks, and concludes with tactics on how to prepare and execute a mediation schedule of the who, what, where, when, and how, when an attack hits. Network security is a requirement for any modern IT infrastructure. Using Network Performance Security: Testing and Analyzing Using Open Source and Low-Cost Tools makes the network stronger by using a layered approach of practical advice and good testing practices.

A 'How to' book for those wishing to build a Home Automation / Home Security system. A LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) design for a Web-Based Home Control / Security Application is provided (full source code included). This book is applicable to both the seasoned Embedded Software Engineer and to the Hobbyist who just wants to learn a little bit about writing code. But what of the novice? What of the person who wants to gain some understanding in making an embedded software product? Do they need a Computer Science or Electrical Engineering degree before they can even begin to learn how to program an embedded system? All too many books discuss such programming from an advanced level. Well, this book is not like that at all. The idea is to get anyone that is interested in embedded programming up and running in a short period of time. The language of choice today is C or C++. For an easy entrance into this world of programming the C language was chosen for the code examples presented within this book. A home control lighting and security system is the ideal application and by the time you have finished you would know how: * To install LAMP (Linux, Apache (Web Server), MySQL and PHP) on your PC computer * To backup/restore your Linux hard drive * To automatically execute your application at system startup * To apply Java Script, MySQL and PHP to your own Web page * To build C applications that communicate over serial ports * To build C applications that use MySQL * To write a complete Home Control / Security application * To have your application send email messages with WebCam images * To have your Home Control / Security application speak messages * To compute and utilize sunrise and sunset times for each day of the year Oh! And there's one added bonus. With this system you do not require any monthly monitoring fee. Since your Home Control / Security application simply sends you an email when it detects an intruder, you can immediately go home or call a friend or neighbor to check on the house. No need to fork out money each month for some 'service' charge. They say that knowledge is power. That may be true, but to sit at home using your iPAD or iPHONE (or some other Tablet, or even a web page on one of your computers) and to bring up your Home Control web page and click on a button to turn on a light or to initiate a sequence of events for evening television viewing, well, that is really neat. And this book presents all this information to you in an easy to read form. So now is the time to get into some fun and start programming an embedded application!
