Setting Nameserver Based For Domain

Setting Nameserver Based For Domain

Posted on by admin

Yesterday, i was looking for the way to configure nameserver in my vps, because ip based for domain name is not cool, especially if someone check my domain and it appears that my domain only using ip address or public dns, lol. Then i found out that if i want to use nameserver, i have to install and configure bind dns in my vps, so i installed bind dns and ji-o-gling about the configuration, configure this-that-here-there, and the result was failed!!! It doesn’t work hahaha… I really don’t know how to configure it, i’ve never installed and configure bind directly from source because usually i used control panel like cPanel or Direct Admin or Kloxo which has included nameserver setting. Amid confusion, i do forum-walking and found a topic about create nameserver, but they didn’t write about the tutorial, they only told that bind dns can be configured from webmin. Aha!!! I remember that there is nameserver configuration in webmin bind dns, let’s rock n roll!

Box: CentOS 5.5, 256MB memory, OpenVZ

First thing you have to do is registering your nameserver(s) in your domain registrar, usually one domain or website has two nameservers, create ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com and point both nameservers to your ip address(es)

Install Webmin using rpm

wget https://serversreview.net/pkgs/files/webmin-1.530-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -U webmin-1.530-1.noarch.rpm

Install Webmin using yum
create webmin repo for yum

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo

add the following lines

[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum
mirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist
enabled=1

add Webmin GPG key and install Webmin

rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
yum install webmin

Few weeks ago i rent one box VPS to test resource usage from three different webservers without any tweaks, it is just basic installation with PHP and MySQL. This three webservers are Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed Free Edition. I’m using wordpress basic installation (without any plugins) plus one 404KB image and load it with 50 visitors maximum simultaneously. This VPS has 256MB memory (512MB burst) and using CentOS 5.5 32bit with OpenVZ virtualization. Allright here are the results.

Posted on by admin

This is the improvement of my previous Nginx version 0.8.53 with PHP 5.3.5 installation, and also this time i’m not using php-fpm to run fastcgi, i’m using php-cli command to run fastcgi, and the result is memory usage decreased about 50MB. So let’s get it on!

VPS: CentOS 5.5 32bit with 256MB RAM XEN

Add EPEL and REMI repository, also update YUM (we will use REMI reposity for PHP 5.3.5)
EPEL 32bit

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

EPEL 64bit

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

REMI

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
yum -y update

Install Nginx

yum -y install GeoIP GeoIP-devel GeoIP-data perl libperl

32bit

rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/i386/nginx-stable-0.8.54-1.el5.i386.rpm

64bit

rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/x86_64/nginx-stable-0.8.54-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

start Nginx and add to init

/etc/init.d/nginx start
chkconfig --add nginx
chkconfig nginx on

Configure Nginx virtual host
As usual i prefer separate Nginx vhost for each domain so it will be easier to manage, and “/home” directory for domain root so it will ease you to synchronize domain root with ftp user root

create your domain root

mkdir -p /home/domain/public_html
mkdir -p /home/domain/logs

create two directory for domain vhost

mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available
mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

edit Nginx configuration (more…)
