I’ve been tasked to add some features (subversion is one of them) under a Virtual Private Server (cPanel WHM) on a Hosting site.

First I downloaded and unarchived subversion:
mkdir -p /usr/local/src/subverison
cd /usr/local/src/subversion
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.9.tar.bz2
tar xfj subversion-1.6.6.tar.bz2
Since the last versions are requiring SQLite, I had to download and copy one file from sqlite folder to subversion folder: Read the rest of this entry »

I am a big fan of Ubuntu Server. It’s exactly what you need for a server, no fancy UI, just services.
Dealing with all the text configuration files can be a time consuming task and there is something that can help a lot. It’s called Webmin and it is a web interface for configuring your linux box.

You need to install first some perl-related libraries required by webmin:
sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

Best way to have a easy to access XE database and APEX on top of it is to put them on a Ubuntu Server virtual machine that I start just when I need.
Installation of 10g Express Edition should not take more than 10 minutes and the steps are below:
1. Prepare the swap space
If you have less than 1GB memory run the following commands to create swap space:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swpfs1 bs=1M count=1000
$ sudo mkswap /swpfs1
$ sudo swapon /swpfs1

Upgrading the Server version of Ubuntu 8.10 to the latest one, 9.04 is not a big deal as I read here.
I did it in 10 minutes as following:
1. Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
2. Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Good luck,
Andrei
